“They is coming one week ago, Master Draco. Diddy hear…Diddy hear that they is making Master Lucius write to Master Draco as if nothing is happening. Diddy hear they is planning to gather all the black robed people here, Master Draco, so that when you come home for the summer they can make someone else come here too.”

“Who?”

“They is not saying, Master Draco. They is saying their Master wants to kill him, Master Draco.”

Harry. They wanted Draco to lead Harry to Malfoy Manor.

“Diddy hear they say that many more come tonight, Master Draco! You are not safe here, Master Draco!”
