Eavesdropping
42. Silencio
“What on earth is taking you so long?” the cold voice of Lucius Malfoy penetrated the darkness.
“I can’t find-” his son’s rather scared voice echoed shrilly, before being cut off by a yelp of pain from Draco.
He didn’t usually venture this deep into the castle. Still, something in the stars that night had indicated that there might be trouble from below somehow, and so Firenze found himself plodding softly into the dankest recesses of his new home.
Just as he’d been ready to give up and declare that the heavens had been wrong yet again, he had heard footsteps. And then the voices.
How I wish I had the magic to put a Silencio charm over myself so that they wouldn’t find me, he thought as he listened to the Death Eater berate his son. He knew that f Lucius Malfoy found him spying, weaponless and trapped, he would not get to mark the homework he set the third years that day on tracking different creatures in the Forbidden Forest. And he’d been rather looking forward to seeing what they came up with.
