They had figured out how to start it. They would get the houselves to deliver them to lal of the students, but the paper would burn itself after a certain amount of time, that way, no proof could be obtained of this. If anyone tried to save the essay at any point in time it would burst into flames, which wod be somewhat unfortunate for them, especially if they had failed to finish reading it.
"Okay," Draco began, Slytherins effortlessly executing the move to ensure their privacy with Blaise and Pansy. "After this, we will need to wait a few days. The tensions are already high. This is good."
"What is the point of all of this anyways?" Pansy asked. "It isn't just about revenge on the Gryffs is it?" Tom clentched his fist. This...girl, was questioning his motives, his decisions. It made him furious, angery. Draco, however, seemed to expect her questioning as he smiled, amused. He leaned back, Tom instinctively wrapping his arms around the boy's waist, head over his shoulder to look at Pansy. At this point, he was confused. Why was his Omega so pleased about her questioning him? He understood that Draco was an Omega and so it did not affect him as much, but still. As a leader of Slytherin Tom would think that the child would be annoyed at her questioning.
"I am proud of you Pansy," Draco said lightly. "Your...intuition, proves fruitful as ever. I taught you well." Tom inhaled, okay, he understood now. Draco taught Pansy to be intuitive, to ask, to question. His only confused thought was why he would train someone like that. To teach them to, basically, challenge him. "You are right, it is not only about revenge upon the Gryffindors. Mostly, yes, but not entirely. Slytherins have been outcasted from Hogwarts for decades, because of Gryffindor, because of the so-called roghteous. Tensions remained, and got worse as Dumbledore became headmaster." Draco sighed heavily, hands before him. "Unfortunately the fool did nothing but purposefully make the rivalry between houses worse, and favor one house over the others. As such, I am afraid, we shall have to show that idiotic fool what happens when you mess with Slytherins." Draco's eyes flashed dangerously. Pansy nodded, Blaise agreed.
"You are right, it is long time for Dumbledore to see the damage which he has caused. Even if it is a purposefully heightened form of his mistakes." Draco smiled fondly.
"Inform the others of this." He said, effectively dismissing them. Tom sighed into Draco's ear.
"Draco, dear," he said softly, so that they would not be heard. After draco began humming to show that Tom had his attention, Tom continued. "Why were you training Pansy to question you? You are the Leader."
"I am," Draco agreed readily. "But if Pansy is questioning something, or is unclear, so are others. Even if they do not know it themselves yet, or show it. I do not wish to have a potential clash between us. We are to be united. By having Pansy question me, it gives me a look into what the others may be thinking, or confused about, which helps me cut the problem before seeds of doubt and rebellion can creep in." Tom nodded. He had to admit to his little snake. That was a very well thought position to take.
"Well then, I am glad you did so."
