It had been 2 years since the Battle of Hogwarts. Voldemort had defeated Harry Potter. The order, or what was left of it, had gone into hiding. only emerging when essential.

The dark lord had taken over and most of the wizards populating the UK were death eaters. Draco Malfoy, now 20 years old, was the Death Eater who Voldemort trusted and valued most.

Theodore Nott impatiently paced the room, drink in hand "How long does it fucking take to kill a few people?".

"It's the dark lord you idiot he can take as long as he wants," said Draco rolling his eyes.

It was 3 a.m and they'd gotten a wake-up call from the death eaters half an hour ago. Theo had immediately come to Draco's apartment to wait out the time.

"Don't call me an idiot" Theo pretended to look as angry as he could "I could kill you right here right now".

"no, you couldn't mate" Draco raised his eyebrow "You know you couldn't". Nott liked to think he was better at duelling than Draco, this was incorrect.

"Don't test me I'll do it" Theo raised his wand.

"Sure and the dark lord will come and kill you and we'll both be dead before we get this mission over with" Draco clapped Theo's back and went to sit down.

"You may be right but I'll never admit it. NEVER" Theo shouted and poured himself more fire whiskey.

"Silencio" not thinking twice about it Draco silenced him, he knew Nott went a bit mental when he drank too much.

Another twenty minutes had passed and it was time for them to leave. "What is it exactly we have to do?" Theo said as they left Draco's apartment.

"We got the news that some of the order are staying at Snape's old place at Spinners End" Draco explained, "We have to go and kill them".

Very very short I know. This was more of an introduction than a chapter :)
