RP: Rent Day! Who: Rodolphus Lestrange & Open (either anyone in Diagon or if you want Rodolphus to be your landlord feel free!) Where: Various places in Diagon Alley When: 7 August 2024 Rating/Warnings: None yet Summary: It's rent day and the landlord has come to collect. Status: Incomplete
Rodolphus walked out of the front door of the apartment building tucked in a small laneway off Diagon Alley, tucking a small pouch into his robes as he did so. He did always collect the rent on his properties personally. He owned so many that doing such a things would take up all of his time. No, mostly the rent was collected the the agents who managed the property. But every now and then he liked to do the rounds himself, always picking different areas an building each time. He liked to remind them who their landlord was and why defaulting on the rent was a very unwise thing to do.
He'd had one such person today, unable to pay their rent and blubbering about sick parents and too many bills. He hadn't believe the man. He'd stunk of cheap booze, putting a lie to everything he was saying. Rodolphus' first thought had been to throw the man out but a quick question revealed the man's job and he had instead decided to be... benevolent.
After all, one could never have too many people in the Ministry and maintenance workers were ubiquitous. They were allowed to go into all sorts of restricted areas and were rarely noticed by the more official people. They were just maintenance workers after all, how dangerous could they be? But Rodolphus liked maintenance workers. They were always thankful for whatever little scraps of money he threw them and they were able to hear or get their hands on the most remarkable things. This one had been very eager to [y off his debt in any way Rodolphus liked.
A little smirk curled his lips as he walked out into Diagon Alley itself. He had a few more stops today and while he didn't expect any further treats, you never knew what might happen.
