Tom did not know how it happened and how he could not notice it. He knew that his former headmaster was weird but he never thought that something like this would happen. And the worst was that he used his manipulative skills on innocent people who died for him and his stupid plan. The ministry was under his control and nobody was able to fight him. Nobody but Tom and his former friend Grindelwald but he was already dead. With the elder wand in his possesion Dumbledore was invincible and Tom was the only one who was able to change everything.

"I just want a nice, easy life. What's wrong with that?"

Rodolphus complained and continued to kick stones. Everyone was getting impatient with Dumbledore as the minister. Everything had changed during the last two years and it was not good how it had changed. He had to do something and Tom knew what he would do.

"Lucius, I need your help."

The Malfoy heir sat next to Narcissa and did not let go of her hand. Everyone looked worn out and tired. It had been two days since they found something to eat and everyone was getting weaker. Someone already died on their journey to overthrow the former Hogwarts headmaster. Lucius stood up and followed his friend.

"Yes, my lord?"

"I might have an idea and I could need your help. I am the only wizard who can overthrow him and our former plans got destroyed. This time I will try something new and I need your trust. You have to do everything I tell you. But you have to keep quiet."

The blond Slytherin did not think about it and nodded. He was curious about this new plan but he did not question Toms plan. He never did.

"I will, my lord. Do not worry, I will not tell anyone about this. But may I ask what the plan is?"

Tom smirked and pointed the wand at his chest. It took him some time to find out what was wrong but after doing this with everyone of his 'friends' it was only a matter of time.

"You made a mistake, old man. The real Lucius never asked about my plans. He trusted me and this was your mistake. Avada Kedavra."
