Miles away from Hogwarts, a secret meeting was undergo. A man was kneeling in front of an old armchair. "Please, my lord, tell me what you want me to do."
"It is simple, Wormtail." A high pitched voice answered the man, "As you know, I have been trying to kill Harry Potter for some time now, and now finally, I have thought of a simple plan. Kill Harry Potter when he is vulnerable enough."
"But my lord, excuse me for interrupting, but when he is vulnerable enough? What do you-?"
"When he says, vulnerable, Wormtail, he usually means when Harry Potter is weak enough, too helpless to fight." A man said, speaking for the first time. He had greasy black hair, stopping at his shoulders, sallow skin with a yellow tinge to it, a hooked nose and mean black eyes. Serverus Snape had in hiding ever since he had escaped Hogwarts with Draco Malfoy.
"I know what it means!" Wormtail said shrilly. "I only meant how-"
"I know what you meant Wormtail, and you will know when the time comes." The icy voice silenced the quarrel between Snape and Wormtail. Lord Voldemort looked his two most loyal Death Eaters.
"But…how do I know what to do when I don't even know what the plan is?" Wormtail asked. He closed his mouth at once, eyes wide as though he had just realized what he said. "My lord, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to contradict you!"
"Wormtail, you will carry out my wishes, even though you do not know what my plans are!" Lord Voldemort hissed. "But since you asked…" He stood up. "Harry Potter is now married and has a daughter, I am correct Snape?" Snape nodded. He had recently become an animagus, a snake to be exact, not a surprise after being the Head of Slytherin house while he was teaching at Hogwarts. He had been watching Harry and his family as a snake.
"Yes, he has a wife, Luna Lovegood, and a daughter, Cassiopeia." Snape smirked. "The girl is odd, like her mother. I taught her in potions for four years. She's a ditz." Snape laughed, but soon quieted "But sir, how will this help our plan?" He asked. Voldemort grinned.
"All you and Wormtail need to do is kidnap Harry Potter's wife and daughter."
"Brilliant plan, my lord! Brilliant!" Wormtail squealed. He soon regained his dignity and stopped jumping about.
"Yes, I know it's an excellent plan, no need to wet yourself over it, Wormtail." Lord Voldemort said smoothly. Wormtail turned red and stared at the floor.
"Who shall we kidnap first? And when?" Snape asked.
"Lovegood. We can take her easily when Harry Potter takes an urgent call from the Ministry of Magic." Voldemort said. "Later, we'll take the little girl, how? I am not entirely sure…"
"What about during the Christmas or Easter holidays? Many students will have left to spend the holidays with their families. We will just have to make sure that she stays." Snape suggested. Voldemort nodded.
"Lets not worry about the daughter now, now let's worry about the mother. She will be easiest to kidnap. We shall take her soon. Snape, I want you to take her and Wormtail, you will write the urgent Ministry message to Harry Potter. Do you understand?"
Snape and Wormtail looked at each other, then at their Lord Voldemort, and nodded.
