"It's the alcohol talking, I assure you. That and you're not half as odious as some of the people here," he said sweetly, raising an eyebrow and looking amused. "As for being happy, I can believe you. I think your ego outclasses mine."
Adrian sighed, knowing the other man was right even if he didn't like it. Stephen wasn't going to be safe whilst Lestrange was around and they all knew it. As for the baby... Well, it was no secret as to why they were keeping things so secret. "I'm trying to keep my head down myself. Do you even know where they're based? Does Bletchley know anything?" he asked, thinking quickly of Miles. "There's wards everywhere... It's only Hogwarts I'm worried about. Ideally, I'd like to be able to Floo directly from the school so we're never out in the open."
He frowned, not sure what to think. Dark magic really was Rodolphus's style. "Perhaps. Then again, do we even know what Montague's been doing recently? It could be an Italian associate seeing as they've been here... Maybe Theo should be looking at obscure Italian-based Dark magic if John's clueless?" he queried. "You don't need to tell me that. I don't trust anybody save Stephen, not completely."
