Who: Bill Weasley and Klaus Hargreeves
What: Bill arriving
When: Thursday night
Where: The square
Rating: Smoking and hello and a little closeup PG magic probs

Bill had been going home from The Burrow, a quick floo should have landed him back in his own fireplace but instead he found himself in the middle of a deserted but quaint little square. To his left the embers of a fire burned, the smell of coffee hung in the air and surely this wasn't one big fireplace so how had he gone and ended up here? Wand in hand he tried to apparate, only to stay right where he was. That was two things that didn't add up and that he didn't like, not one bit.

He stoked the fire with a simple flick of his wand, so that the light might grow a little and show more of where he was without drawing attention if muggles were about. But even when he could see more, it only made it more confusing as it showed things to be rundown and appear even more deserted.

The heels of his boots clicked on the stone as he walked the perimeter of the square, wand in his hand inside of his pocket, just to be safe. Things had been happening, He Who Must Not Be Named had returned and killed a student, but could that possibly have anything to do with this? It was hard to believe but still Bill was cautious, these days you never knew.

It was impossible to imagine life without magic, because for Bill he'd always been surrounded by it. Growing up they hadn't known any muggles at all, being a pureblood family who lived far away from the nearest neighbour there was just no chance to come across them. "Well you can use me now, love," Bill said as the corners of his eyes scrunched up in a smile.

Klaus' answer wasn't really an answer, it was casually evasive but it wasn't like Bill was going to push for details. There were lots of reasons he might not want to talk about what he did and that wasn't his business. There were times Bill would have enjoyed a life trying to avoid working, but at the same time he just enjoyed the challenge of his job far too much. Not to mention he lived in fear of being as poor as he'd been growing up. "Too busy saving gents like me to have time to work more likely."

The supply business. Well Bill knew what that meant. He'd met plenty of different kinds of people in his life, he liked to go out and Bill loved a party so he wasn't about to turn his nose up. Not to mention him being in that business most likely explained the drink. "So how long have you been here then?"

"Oh believe me, I plan on doing exactly that." Klaus promised Bill when he offered himself up to be used. A big strong man like Bill, there were so many ways Klaus could use someone exactly like that in his life, and add magic to it all - and well that was an offer too good to refuse. And Klaus made a point never to refuse things that he really wanted.

He huffed lowly and nodded when Bill gave his estimation of what kept him busy and nodded sagely. "Oh yes, you can't believe how much time that takes out of my day." Today especially it seemed, but all in all this was something that was not totally new - but certainly unexpected for him. But if it got him people like Bill, Klaus thought maybe he could handle being the one to find the new arrivals to town and sharing a drink with them. "Not all of them are quite as charming as you though, I'm afraid, but that's the way things are here."

"It's been ..." He paused and frowned as he counted back, it had been a month when Five arrived, but a few weeks had passed since then. "Nearly two months I think." He said finally, it was hard to believe even for him. Two months was the longest amount of time he'd been sober since he'd started using in the first place. "Others have been here longer of course." He added, "We're all just making the best of it while we can."
