Rodolphus' eyebrows rise to his hairline. It wasn't like the Dark Lord to explain himself to his underlings. "Is that what ultimately caused him to fail," he asks falteringly.
"We all had something similar I believe." He taps his jaw. "I did. Came in right handy later though." He grins a wicked grin.
"Lucius is here?!" His face splits into a wide grin. "That's wonderful!" He's either forgetting or ignoring what Severus is telling him. "I should see him at once! It's been far too long!" Rodolphus not-quite-pouts when he hears about Harry. "Now that is a shame. Still, some things are worth waiting for." He turns away, takes a deep breath, then turns back. "I won't go in on a leash Severus," he says emphatically. "I've told you I won't attack anyone without provocation and I meant it. Who else is here? You make it sound as if I'm going into battle."
