"You're the same sadist as always!" Scorpius retorted, with an indulgent smile. "It won't be necessary. Albus will kill his father, but only because it will serve to strengthen his character. Lily has already boasted about surpassing her Trial of Courage with me. However, we will give her another opportunity to prove her worth to us, and who knows, maybe the new mission will help her calm down once and for all. In keeping with tradition, this time she will kill a Muggle. Here's the plan: Dorian, you will follow her during the hunt, while Albus, Dylan, and I will study the Minister's movements. At the rest of you, stay on guard on the ground floor. The Curse-Breakers have no hope against my barrier, but I invite you to Curse them anyway. Play with them, give them a taste of what will soon happen to anyone who dares to oppose me."
