"It can't go wrong." He assured with a calmly and low voice. The woman with a dark complexion who was sitting next to Snatcher frowned with some kind of doubt. "I'm one of the best." He added, confident in his skills. The small, scornful smile has formed on her face.

"Yes, yes, Scabior: the best strategist on the Black Lord's services – I know it" she mocked. In her pronunciation was barely noticeable Russian accent. She looked straight ahead to meet with her glance a man's figure covered with a dark robe. The dark trees of Forbidden Forest were whispering around them. "It's repeated in your group, especially by Greyback, when they're after a few bottles of fire whiskey." She smirked when a memory came to her mind.

Man was still focused on a view of deep in a fog blurry contours of Hogwart castle's walls.
