"Do you think those traitors will really sneak out tonight to rescue people?"
In an Empty Classroom near the entrance to the Room of Requirement on the Eighth Floor of Hogwarts Castle, two Inquisitorial Squad members on night watch spoke in low voices, discussing the assignment Alecto had given them.
"I don't know, but I hope I can catch those bastards myself. Madam Alecto said that if we manage to capture them, we'll have a good chance of becoming Death Eaters straight after graduation."
The other boy lowered his voice even further. There was a trace of longing in his tone when he spoke of it, as though becoming a Death Eater was something to be proud of.
The other gave no opinion on that and abruptly changed the subject.
"Have you heard anything about Draco lately?"
"Why bring that guy up now?" There was a hint of disdain in the voice when he mentioned Malfoy.
"The Malfoy family is completely finished."
"I heard Draco married Pansy not long ago."
There was an inexplicable note of emotion in Goyle's voice. Pansy's sudden withdrawal from school had once made many people curious. Probably no one had expected that she had left Hogwarts to marry Draco.
"I really don't understand why Pansy would like a loser." Crabbe was deeply contemptuous of the Malfoy family's downfall. The Malfoy family that had once been worthy of their obedience was gone.
Just then, faint footsteps suddenly sounded outside, as though someone was quietly approaching.
The two stopped talking. After exchanging glances, they immediately drew their wands and quietly moved toward the classroom door, preparing to use the cover of the Disillusionment Charm to launch a surprise attack on the Dumbledore's Army members passing through the corridor outside.
"Oh, what a surprise. Malfoy actually got married."
