Voldemort's POV

"If we walk very quietly, maybe they won't know we're back." I instructed my followers.

I'm not proud of it but those girls scare the hell out of me. They're plotting, and cunning, and devious, and unafraid of anything I throw at them, just like Bella, except not so loyal. But their cousins can't be any worse, right? Right!

Anyway we were sneaking into our own hideout through the backdoor, we were pathetic. I opened the door as quietly as I could and all four of them were standing there waiting for us. How did they know we were sneaking in the back way? Yet again they had freaked me out.

I sighed. "Hello girls."

"Hi Tommy-boy." They all replied.

Then they skipped off to bed.

_The Next Day_

Courtney's POV

I pulled the rope tighter around the fireplace's edge. It was an invisible rope so tying it was quite a task, but I was almost done. I got the last loop tightened and it was done. Tommy-Boy had wondered why were had headed up to bed so early, well we couldn't set all this up if we got up at our normal time so we had already planned to get up early.

I saw something move above me on the wall. I looked up to see Lizard clinging to the wall by tiny flaws in it. Oh right! That's why we call her Lizard! She was hanging the fake ceiling. It looked just like the real ceiling, that we had removed earlier, except it had circles, where we'd cut hole in it and place the pieces back in. they were each connected to a trip-wire and would fall as soon as that wire was tripped. Half the wires weren't even in the plotting room. There was one next to Tommy's bed, three in Wormtail's room and one tied to each and every one of Lucius's hair products. This was gonna be fun!

"I want a puppy-sized elephant! I will call him Louis! We will be the best of friends!" Draco's voice came from the hall as Iz led him into the room. That girl was good with a wand. Draco was deep under her Imperious curse. I didn't say her mother was responsible in what she taught her daughters.

Emily walked up with heavily marker-stained hands, displaying her contribution. She's made a chart, much like that of a 'good behavior' chart parents use, only it was for the Death Eaters not young kids and it was more of a 'You did something we found amusing. You get to survive another day.' chart. In fact that's what Emily had labeled it. The chart had a spot beside each name for everyday left in the summer. Anyone who didn't amuse us one day would be killed, ok not killed exactly, Tommy would kill us, but they would be knocked out and locked in the crawl-space/fourth floor, until the September first.

She hung it on the wall with a permanent sticking charm. They were never getting that down. Draco's name already had a gold star under today's date. Technically Iz had made him say what he'd said but it still amused us to hear him say it.

There was just one thing left to hang, a huge banner reading. 'Happy eleventh Birthday Lizard!' an owl had arrived for both her and Iz that morning. Even though Iz is twelve, since she had never go to Hogwarts both of them would be first years. Emily and my birthday was two weeks away. Tommy had accidently signed a contract (that was sealed with an unbreakable vow) saying he'd give us dark marks and make us official Death Eaters on our birthday. It's amazing how fast he signed when I told him it was a promise that neither Emily nor I would bother him for a week.

"Can we go shopping today?" Lizard asked eagerly. "I wanna get a wand!"

"Lizard, we're getting your wand from the nice man in the basement." I smiled.

"Oh right!" She giggled. "Also can we get peanut butter cup ice cream? But not peanut butter ice cream and call it peanut butter cup ice cream like those good-for-nothing-cart-vendors!" She said the last part rather aggressively. I didn't even know she could be aggressive.

"I still think we should go shopping. I want a hawk." Iz smiled evil. Courtney held up the letter and pointed to the part about pets. Iz sighed. "But I guess I'll settle for an owl." She sighed as I held up the Hogwarts letter.

Lizard and I would also be getting owls, let's just say Wormtail should learn to keep his bank key somewhere safer than a box labeled 'bank key'. Norm was Emily's pet.

We heard a sound on the stairs outside the main door to the plotting room, so we quickly exited through the back door. We heard Tommy-Boy yell as one of the circles hit him in the head, and then a whole bunch more fell, Lucius was up and doing his hair. Then we had to make out escape so we retreated to our rooms and pretended to sleep.
