At a quarter to midnight, the pair dressed in formal dress robes, Hermione pulling on a pair of high heeled boots Narcissa had suggested, and made their way downstairs. They could hear voices coming from inside the drawing room, and they knew that not one Death Eater would risk the wrath of the Dark Lord or Narcissa Malfoy in being one minute late to a meeting. As he disillusioned her, they heard a slithering coming from behind them, turning only to see Nagini making her way towards her master in the room beyond. She lifted her head off the floor and hissed at the pair of them, rearing back to strike at Draco.
