“My Lord, it is a perfect way to strike a blow to Dumbledore’s allies. Before they even realize what is happening, several will already be dead.”
The Dark Lord pondered on Lucius Malfoy’s words. “Most ingenious. Yes, we will invite ourselves to the Weasleys’ Halloween Party this year.”
The Burrow was decorated with pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns. Tables were filled with pumpkin pasties, fizzy sweets, chocolates and pumpkin punch (soon to be spiked). Guests began arriving. Some were dressed in mythological costumes, others wore silly outfits and more than a few opted for scary garb. No one paid much notice to the small group who’d dressed as dementors nor did they notice that more and more dementors appeared as the evening progressed.
“Mind if I join you?” Ron asked as he looked around the room. “So many dressed as dementors this year. It’s kind of scary.”
“It is the most popular costume this year,” Harry agreed. “At least, they’re not real.”
A scuffle broke out on the other side of the room. Green light flashed. One wizard fell, then a second, a third…
“They’re not dementors! They’re Death Eaters!” By then, the damage was done. Many wizards and witches lay dead.
