I followed the cloaked man upstairs willingly; he offered to let me have a seat next to him as all the other's stood. Some time had passed; my mind was in a haze.

One of his… followers?… brought me some tea. I nodded, mumbled thank you, sipped it. It was the perfect temperature. Perfect mixture for me. Just a touch of sugar, a tiny touch of cream.

The cloaked man did not look at me as he spoke. "We need… you. Someone just like you and someone… with your connections… to ensure we can complete our mission."

I looked at him, urging him to look back at me. "What mission?"

He did not turn his head, still looking away. "Wipe out the Wizard Empowerment League before we have another Death Eater movement on our hands. It's only a matter of time and these men… they're more sick. More dangerous. And they have a much more concrete plan. They have a cause. A true motive. They're more dangerous than the Death Eaters ever were, believe me."

I reached out to touch the man, trying to make him turn to look at me.

"Who are you? Please… just take off the hood? Undo whatever that is you did… whatever enchantment that's hiding your face right now."

The cloaked man shook his head.

"This is a face that should not be," he said cryptically. "This is a voice that should not be heard. I should not exist, and all but a select few of you must never even know my name..."

I shook my head, "Okay then. Anyways, so what do you want with me?"

The cloaked man looked over at Draco. "You explain this part."

"Yes sir," said Draco. "You are held in high regards in Wizard society, here and especially back at home… the Ministry is looking into us, looking into helping the police here investigate. We've received word that they certainly will. We need you… to help keep them off of our trail. They're going to hunt us the same way they hunt them… we're all killers and criminals to them. They know no difference. But you…"

Draco smiled, "You're different. You don't see things in black and white, and what you just did back there-"

"-I didn't even-I didn't even know I- I-…" I stuttered, unable to stick my words together right.

"Do you regret it? Do you feel any guilt."

I didn't hesitate. "No. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again either. That man deserved to die… and so do all of them in this little 'Empowerment League'."

"Would you do the same if you met another one of them?"

I really thought about it. I'm not a murderer… this wasn't me. This was…

No, this was definitely me. And where there should have been guilt, once again I felt only excitement.

"Yes… And I want to meet another one of them… I want… I want them gone. I won't let it happen again…" Anger crept in my voice, "I sacrificed… we all sacrificed too much… never again."

"I know…" Draco said. "And I won't stand by, or stand with men like this… I'm trying to set things right… I really am. This is the only way I know how… and I was hoping you would join us… you are a powerful witch. More powerful than most of our members, I would suspect, and with your connections… and they would never suspect you… and the intel you could get us…"

I looked down, feeling slightly ashamed at this part; that I was considering spying on friends and allies… but that's what needed to happen.

"Yes…" I said, answering a question no one had asked yet. "I'll do it. Let me in."

"Good," said the cloaked man.

And so I made an Unbreakable Vow with that man… I swore that, as long as the Wrath of Albus stood true to its founding ideals, to not allow another string of atrocities like the ones Grindelwald and Voldemort brought about… that I would be loyal to them. I swore to fight against the Wizard Empowerment League, at all costs, and to take them down.

Right off the bat, I could already see plenty of loopholes.
