Peter Pettigrew looked at the clock on the wall. His nerves were everywhere, this wasn't his first attack, sure- but never-the-less he was anxious. Excitement was coursing through his blood, along with nervousness and that only made it worse. He sat in his seat, fidgeting, and watching his Death Eaters wait as well. They were to attack Cardiff University. In his command were; Nott and August Rookwood. Two good Death Eaters. The clock chimed 11 o' clock. Only one hour until they were to attack. They weren't hidden far from the University; and this only made Peter more anxious. They could easily be found out before they even made their way for the attack. That thought seemed to be worse than any other thought he had up until that moment, and it frightened him loads more than it should have. He looked at Nott who was leaning against the dormant fireplace, looking at the clock as if by staring at it, it would go faster.
Rookwood sat in a chair, partially asleep. How could they just sit there? Completely calm about a thing such as this? Maybe he should be calm as well, but to Peter this seemed to be bigger than it did to them. Maybe it was because he wanted to show the Dark Lord that he was more than an overgrown rat, and that he could do more than screw up. Then again, maybe it was something he had to prove to himself. Peter didn't really know, all he knew is that this attack was something he wanted to get finished with. He knew it wasn't going to be that simple though. This attack was supposed to be chaotic and damaging, and Peter wasn't sure how much chaos and damage they could cause. He didn't want this attack to last longer than what it should, but if need be it would. The clock chimed 11:30 and Peter stood up from his spot. They should start going now, if they wanted to attack at noon.
"Let's go." He told them shortly. Peter exited the little shack they were in and hid among the shadows as he made his way to the university. He checked behind him, seeing Nott and Rookwood following...almost obediently. Of course, they didn't want to be following his orders. Nott and Rookwood despised the overgrown rat and they didn't see him fit to be a leader in an attack. They didn't question the Dark Lord though, that would end horribly. There wasn't anything they could do. It wasn't like this was a large attack, it was just a diversion attack so the real attack on Azkaban could be easier. This attack wasn't exactly a key part of any plan, it was just there to make sure a few or more Auror's come to Cardiff's rescue so there aren't as many at Azkaban. They were still angry toward the fact they had to obey Wormtail.
They came into the last shadow and stared up at the university. It was bustling and Peter watched with a jumping fright. He withdrew his wand from his cloak and looked at. His hand was shaking, not violently, but enough for the burning sun to catch a gleam on his silver hand. Peter turned to Nott and Rookwood and nodded. He put his wand away again, transformed into his rat form, and scurried off toward the school. The other two walked to the front and entered the school. With their wands drawn, they entered the hallways which were empty and continued down the corridor. They turned a left, stumbled upon a group of students and a professor, and blasted spells everywhere. Rookwood stupefied an oncoming professor with her wand drawn, as Nott stunned two students who had withdrawn their wands as well. "Where is Wormtail?" Nott spat viscously as more professors started to show.
It wasn't going to be long until Auror's arrived. Wormtail arrived at the scene as a rat and then became human again. He pulled out his wand and started stunning and throwing hexes left and right. There were bodies lying on the floor, and they would step over them to be able to move farther back or forward. It was getting quite simple, until the Auror's started arriving. Nott and Rookwood sent curses at two of them, and Wormtail transformed into a rat again. The signal to retreat. As he scurried off, Nott and Rookwood jumped out of near-by windows and ran to the shack they had been at. Once there, they apparated out. Wormtail right after them. The attack had been shorter than anticipated, and he hoped it was good enough.
