The Dance of the Death Eater and the Muggle-Born (гет)

“You want me to recruit Granger?” It was as if the Dark Lord had taken his brain from his head, shifted it’s contents, and put it back in his head. Was he hearing this right?

The Dark Lord was literally asking him to recruit the girl that he hated second to Gryffindor’s Golden Boy. It was as if a Confundus Charm was placed on him. He quite wasn’t expecting this.
“And if I don’t succeed…?” he asked, giving the Dark Lord an sidelong glance. The odds of Granger taking the Dark Mark were just as likely as the those pathetic Chudley Cannons making their way up to the top of the league.
“If you don’t succeed, at the very least, try to glean any information about Potter during your interactions,” he answered
