Hogwarts Mafia Round 4: Mafia Hit
Hogwarts:: School Grounds:: Mafia
"Malfoy really botched that one."
One of the group whispered harshly as they made their way in something close to silence towards the edge of the school grounds.
"Yeah that plan was spoiled by his stupidity and not ours."
In the past all of their schemes had involved magic in some way and yet had somehow managed to go wrong. This time they were just going to meet Malfoy's Death Eaters at the gates of Hogwarts and get them in at night.
"You sure you heard the password correctly?"
"Yeah, I was standing right there." One of the group looked annoyed at the lack of faith placed in their skills.
"If you're sure then, cause if we get Lucius sent to Azkaban you can be sure we'll all be pushing up daisies before he goes."
Hogwarts:: School Grounds:: Namilah Narayan
The blonde haired Slytherin made her way towards the edge of the school's boundaries with far more stealth than the small group of conspirators. All it would take is getting off this blasted piece of land and then "he" would be free to apparate where ever in the world he wished.
The first order of business would be to find a more suitable body than a 17 year old girl. It had been useful so far though and it would seem most Slytherin students behaved much the same way as they always had because no one had noticed a difference in young Narayan's demeanor. Upon further thought it might be better to be able to come and go out of Hogwarts any time he pleased; though without the boy and the old man here there was little left to interest him about the school.
Hogwarts:: School Grounds:: Mafia, Lucius Malfoy and followers, Namilah Narayan.
"Did you hear something?"
"No, just you, now stop the theatrics and lets get to the gate."
The group made their way to the edge of the school grounds. Once they reached the gate four black cloaked shadows stepped out onto the path.
"Ah, there you are. Its about time you lot arrived." Lucius Malfoy looked down at the group with an expression that was part calculation and part disdain.
Turning to the other figures behind him, he instructed them to find various teachers of importance before they converged on the Headmistress's office. The small group of children would split up and join the adults. That was the plan anyway, it didn't quite get that far.

"You!"
It was a blonde girl in a Slytherin uniform. She was glaring at Lucius with hatred and malice burning in her light grey eyes.
"Me?" Malfoy sniffed and turned to the bunch of children in front of him. "Be rid of her, she has seen too much."
Before they could reach her, the blonde laughed and raised her arm.
"Better wizards than you have tried to be rid of me, Lucius, but not even the boy who lived could keep me down. Crucio!"
"What? How da.. ."
There was a look of shock on the blonde man's face before the spell took hold and he fell to his knees in pain.
One of his companions turned his wand on the little girl who somehow managed to get the better of the great Lucius Malfoy. The man did not have time to do more than open his mouth before the curse came at him.
"Avada Kedavra!"
Namilah's eyes sparkled like precious stones in the green light and she walked over to the man curled on his side in agony.
"Did you hope to take my place, Malfoy?" The soft whisper of her voice held echoes of another from Lucius's past. One that he knew all too well and though it would seem impossible for Voldemort to have survived yet again, the man had a habit of doing that very thing with annoying regularity. After the Potter brat's parents were killed and the dark lord vanished from the wizarding world, Lucius found that he did quite well for himself without a master. Now was not the best of times to contemplate it, however.
The blonde girl was standing over him, with a very satisfied grin that held portents of his death in them, her wand raised once again.
"No!!! Mr Malfoy is too cute to die!"
The group of students, who had been forgotten up until this point, rushed the Slytherin student as one knocking her over and sending the wand flying from her hand.
"Sit on her!"
"Hold her still!"
With several children sitting on her back, Namilah, even possessed by Lord Voldermort himself, found it difficult to move. The others surrounded her, including the other followers of Malfoy.
One of the children pushed their wand against her cheek and said importantly,
"Don't you dare move!" with that they gestured with their wand for emphasis and shoved it right up the blonde's nose. "...oops."
"Uggghh" Was the only response that the girl had to this change in situations.
"Hey someone else help here, she's moving!"
At a loss for something clever to cast on, what was obviously a powerful wizard in disguise, one of the others shoved their wand up the other nostril.
"I'll kill you a...." The possessed Namilah screamed as best she could given the circumstances.
One of the ones sitting on her back decided it would be better if she couldn't speak at all and so they clamped their hands firmly over her mouth. After a while the Slytherin girl stopped struggling.
"Well, that was certainly most interesting." Lucius stood up brushing snow off his robes and glaring down at the dead girl. "Now if we are done with interruptions I would like to be the one causing the pain this next time."
With that he turned to head towards the school. The others quickly fell into step behind him.
"Grawp hungry. Hagrid?" A deep voice questioned somewhere in the darkness.
The earth shook and the group stopped and looked around for the cause of the earthquake. It soon came into view in the form of a giant.
"Hungry!" It said again and moved towards the group. They scattered in all directions and so no one would find out whether the giant was simply going to ask if they had food or was planning on making them the dinner, as even the killers of Lord Voldemort knew better than to be around when a giant was looking for something to eat.
