Once inside, Draco lit his wand and he and his father swept through the ground floor, ensuring the living room, kitchen, and bathroom were all clear. Then they signalled to Snape and Yaxley. Snape gave Draco a reassuring pat on the shoulder as he swept past him. Snape led the way up the stairs, followed by Lucius. Draco kept close to his father suddenly feeling like a child and realising how unequipped he truly was for this assignment. He hadn’t been able to kill Dumbledore, he wouldn’t be able to kill any of the people in this cottage. He didn’t even want to.
