"Narcissa, I think it is time for Draco to complete his initiation," Bellatrix told her sister.

"Complete? I thought it was complete. He did what he was asked to do."

"Cissy," Bellatrix said slowly. She didn't want her siter to get all hysterical again. "Cissy, while Draco did repair the vanishing cabinet, he wasn't the one who ended up killing Dumbledore...so..."

Narcissa started. Bellatrix may have plans for Draco, but she would make sure he never got around to doing them. She'd just have to pretend that she had given up hope...yes, that would work...

"So, what has He assigned Draco to do?" Narcissa asked carefully.

"Only Draco is to know that."

"Oh, and I suppose you know do you? You after all are his most faithful servant."

"Cissy!" Bellatrix exclaimed, surprised at her sister for being so resentful.

Narcissa ignored her Bellatrix and went into the kitchen. Seeing as how the ministry was raiding their house, and keeping watch over it, she had moved in with her sister, whereabouts unknown. She looked at her watch, wondering where he was.

"Still getting information from that house-elf, are you?"

"Yes," said Narcissa distractedly, for Kreacher has just popped up.

"Ah, Kreacher. Anything new?"

Kreacher bowed low to Narcissa and Bellatrix before saying, "Kreacher is sorry miss, that Kreacher could not come before. Master Potter," he said, sneering ant the word 'master,' "asked Kreacher to keep an eye on the young Master Malfoy. Foolish little boy, can't do anything right..." he said, muttering the last part. Apparently, part of the family or not, Kreacher despised everyone except his beloved mistress.

"He what! Potter asked you to spy on Draco!"

"And that excuse for a house-elf...Dobby"

Narcissa ignored the last commetn.

"Bella, do you suppose Potter knew what Draco was doing?" she asked anxiously.

"Potter and his nosy friends, no doubt found out something...meddlesome little brats..." said Bella nastily.

"Yes, well...what if Potter heard Draco and Severus talking..."

"Cissy, it doesn't matter anymore. The plan has been completed. No need to fret."

"Yes, well, what about this plan, hmm? What if Potter knows something of that?"

"How can he? Draco doesn't even know about it. Don't worry, Narcissa, everything will go smoothly," Bellatrix said confidently, "besides, the one bridge that has usually thwarted us has collapsed."

"Yes, but even if Dumbledore's gone..."

"You can't seem to think that Potter is such a big threat?" Bellatrix snorted. "He will not know anything he is not to know."

Narcissa was silent. In her mind, she was contemplating whether or not she ought to do what she had been planning. Her thoughts were interrupted from a noise from Kreacher.

"Yes, Kreacher, what is it?" she asked impatiently.

"Miss, Kreacher is wondering whether Kreacher should tell Mistress what he heard."

"Out with it, " said Narcissa.

"As you wish mistress," said Kreacher, bowing low. "Since the Potter boy has sent Kreacher to work at Hogwarts...nasty place with the filthy little mudbloods and the stupid house elves...Kreacher has heard some interesting things, miss."

"Oh, and what would that be Kreacher?" Narcissa asked, annoyance threaded into her voice.

"Miss, while Kreacher was working in the kitchens, some Slytherins came in. They was talking in hushed tones, miss, so Kreacher decided to find out," he said, smiling nastily.

"It seems a raid is going to take place at Hogwarts. An atttack, Mistress, upon the school. Kreacher though– "

"A what?" Bellatrix asked, disbelievingly.

"An attack, madam." replied Kreacher.

"Kreacher, that's impossible," Narcissa said, "we would have known. You must have misunderstood."

"If Kreacher may be so bold, miss, but Kreacher is sure of it. An attack, not by the deatheaters but by the– "

There was a loud crash, interrupting Kreacher. Narcissa and Bellatrix looked around in alarm, and ran towards the sound.

Muahahaa. Cliffhanger. Review please. Thank you.
