Return To Hogwarts-Chapter 8

"So you survived the final battle, then, Wormtail?" the drawling voice of Draco Malfoy asked his companion.

"That is correct, Malfoy. And I daresay that I have a proposition for you that I'm sure you won't pass on," Wormtail answered.

"Is that so? We'll see about that," he stated, motioning Wormtail to a chair.

"Alright then, Malfoy. What would you say if I could give you the oppertunity to kill Harry Potter?" Wormtail asked slyly. Malfoy licked his lips.

"I would love nothing more, but such a feat is impossible. In case you didn't notice, the final battle was tipped in his favor," he scowled.

"I could give you the chance, Malfoy. Dumbledore is old and weak and much of the Order of the Pheonix has disbanded. And I seem to remember Potter having a weakness for heroics. Think about it, Malfoy. This is the chance to avenge your father's death. To avenge the Dark Lord's downfall," Wormtail tried. Malfoy appeared to think it over.

"How would we pull it off?" he asked fianlly.

"We would gain entrance into Hogwarts by brute force, then we'd-"

"Are you mad?! Force our way into Hogwarts!" Malfoy interupted, "That's suicide, Wormtail. Unlike you, I have responsibilities. The Dark Lord chose me to care for his children. I'm not going to disobey his last order."

"Fine. What if I were to take a hostage inside the castle? I am rather good at sneaking around. This way, when you and the other Death Eaters attack, Potter and company will be blindsided. We'll have to lure Dumbledore away from the castle beforehand, considering you are too precatious," Wormtail tried again.

"Alright, but tell me, what do you get out of all of this?" Malfoy asked.

"I get to watch as my old friends's loved ones die. Maybe after we finish at Hogwarts, we'll proceed to Potter's home and kill the remaining members of his family," Wormtail smiled.

"When would we pull it off?" Malfoy asked.

"January 20th. The night of the full moon," he answered.

"Why?"

"Because, then Potter can't call upon the aid of Remus Lupin," he grinned.

"Alright then. In twenty days, the Death Eaters will overtake Hogwarts," Malfoy laughed. Wormtail joined in.
