Stephen laughed at that. "Of course, I'm sure Floot will do a very good job, and hate you the entire time. We really need to give him more gifts, and I still have to find out his birthday, so we can give him something."
"You'll never have to find out. I'll be around forever." He squeezed Adrian gently. "You can ask anything you want, you know that, and yes, you can do it if you like, but I don't know if it would work with those wards. In fact, I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't. Besides, I fucked them up pretty badly. I'm sure that Lestrange was careful when he put them up again."
He loved Adrian, but it amused him how Adrian could underestimate him. Sure, he hadn't thought that Lestrange was a danger, but once he knew that he was, then he'd started to work things out. "I'm thinking a second wand. He assumes that I'm too clueless. I doubt he'd think about that, and as long as I can fuck with his house, then I can get myself out of there." He kissed Adrian's thumb. "Not that it will happen. I haven't gone into Hogsmeade since it happened, and I'm always with you or at the Manor. I've only gone shopping for your gifts by myself, and there were Muggles stores and there was no way for them to know where I was. I told you, I'm not doing this to you again."
