Chapter 15
Lucius' POV
Now that Lucius was free from Azkaban he needed to track down the Deatheaters he had been in contact with. He would need their help if he was going to carry out his plan. It wasn't safe to return to Ireland. The aurors had found him too easily there. Instead he decided to return to the Malfoy Mansion. It was the last place anyone would expect him to go to.

When Lucius reached the mansion he was angered to see it in a state of disrepair. Without anyone to attend to it the building was in a sorry state indeed. Narcissa must have left and taken the house elves with her Lucius thought bitterly to himself. Shaking his head to rid himself of these thoughts Lucius pushed open the broken and twisted iron gate and made his way up the path that had been overgrown by weed. He opened the oak front doors and entered the mansion.
The inside was a little better than the outside. The worst that happened was that everything was covered in a thick layer of dust. Lucius wandered around the mansion using his stolen wand to get rid of the dust. He then went back outside and used it to repair the gate.
Once he was down with all this he went into his study to track down his old associates. He pulled out a map and used a scrying spell to locate them. That done he sent out messages to them telling them to come to the Malfoy Mansion. He then sat back and awaited their arrival.

Dunstan's POV
Dunstan had everything packed for school. His rat, Temple, was in the cage with Bertram's rat Cin. The trunks were all down by the front door waiting to be loaded and the owls, Artemis, Athena, Shadow-wing and Nirvana, were all in their cages. The cats, Max and Haephistion, were in their wicker baskets while Leander's hamster Cassander was in his cage.
Dunstan was in the dining room eating breakfast with his family. 'Are you all excited about going back to school?' Draco asked, 'Yes,' the nine children chorused. 'But we'll miss you and dad,' Dunstan said. Draco and Harry smiled at him. 'We'll miss you all too,' Harry said, 'alright you lot, hurry up or you'll miss the train.' The nontuplets quickly finished eating and then helped their parents put their school trunks and their animal cages in the car.

Lucius' POV
Lucius' Deatheater associates had arrived at the mansion. Their names were Karl Munford and Ethan Harrow. 'Why have you called us here?' Ethan asked. 'I called you here because I need your help with something,' Lucius told them. 'And what would that be?' asked Karl curiously. A smirk tugged at the corner of Lucius' lips. 'I plan on kidnapping one Harry Potter and Draco's children,' he said. Karl and Ethan glanced at each other. 'Which one?' they wanted to know. 'Dunstan. He looks like Draco. Maybe I can discipline him they way I never could my own son,' Lucius informed him. 'Where do we come into this plan?' Ethan questioned. Lucius sighed exasperatedly. 'So many questions,' he mumbled, 'if you listen to me I'll tell you.' Ethan and Karl feel quiet. 'The Hogwarts students will soon be returning from their Christmas holidays,' Lucius began, 'this means they will be catching the train. We can't take Dunstan from the station in London, it's too risky. Instead we'll wait for the train to arrive at the Hogsmead station. I'll stay hidden, Karl you will spell his wand to fall out of his pocket. Then Ethan you'll snatch him from behind. Once we have him we'll come back here.' Ethan and Karl agreed with this plan and the three Deatheaters set out for the Hogsmead station.

Dunstan's POV
The Malfoy-Potter clan had arrived at platform 9 ¾ and the nontuplets were looking around for their friends. Dunstan and Bertram soon found their friends Sean and Jonathan. They said goodbye to their parents and went with their friends to find a compartment. The four of them soon found an empty compartment and claimed it for their own. 'How was your Christmas?' Dunstan asked his friends. 'Mine was good,' Jonathan said, 'me and my family went to Italy.' Sean told them he'd gone to Ireland with his parents for a few days. Dunstan and Bertram told them about their family Christmas.
The topic of conversation soon turned to other things such as what presents they got and which classes they were looking forward to going back to. Naturally the four of them were looking forward to DADA and flying as they were their favourite classes. Jonathan said that he was looking forward to starting Astronomy again as he'd always had a keen interest the stars.
In what seemed like no time at all the train was pulling into the Hogsmead station. The students began getting off while their luggage was unloaded and sent up to their dorm rooms.

Lucius' POV
Lucius saw the train pulling in to the station. He, Ethan and Karl were already in their positions. All that was left was for Dunstan to appear. When he eventually did appear they put their plan into action. Karl quickly spelled Dunstan's wand out of his pocket. As Dunstan waved his siblings on and bent down to retrieve his wand Ethan moved in.

Dunstan's POV
Dunstan frowned as he heard his wand fall out of his pocket. He sent his siblings on saying he would be there in a moment. After that he was the only one left on the platform. He leant down to pick up his wand he was grabbed from behind. Before he could cry out a hand was over his mouth and he was whisked away. His wand was left behind at the station.
