*complete, august 1997, bellatrix lestrange, xavier selwyn

RP: All the good little Death Eaters
Date: 15 August 1997
Characters: Bellatrix Lestrange, Xavier Selwyn, Herbert McGavin and wife (NPC)
Location: Malfoy Manor
Status: Private
Summary: A couple of colleagues discuss the month's progress. Oh and go and kill people. So, um, read at your own risk.
Completion: Complete

The audience with the Dark Lord had gone well enough, Xavier decided as he bowed to his master and left the room. How could it not when their plans were moving along at breakneck pace? The Ministry was nearly entirely in their hands, though the few exceptions did anger the Dark Lord.

One of those would be remedied quite soon. In fact, he had someone to find. He was giving himself a promotion, which was a long time coming, in his estimation. He was sick of being the head of one measly section of a department when he knew he was destined to be much more. He'd pled his case to the Dark Lord, pointing out the man's ancestry - no sense in waiting for Umbridge's Commission to do its work. It might take some time, and they needed control over the Floo and Portkey systems immediately.

The idea of it was enough to make him whistle a jaunty tune as he made his way out toward the front doors of Malfoy Manor.

He was laying hands on the Mudblood? He was physically beating it?

Oh, how dreadfully low brow.

Even her enjoyment in watching the Muggle's mind break was lessened by that vulgar display. Tiring of the mess, she ended one Unforgiveable and cast a second. With a gesture, the Imperio'd creature rose to her feet.

As Bella set the creature to dancing a ragged waltz, she said, "would his words even matter if he could find the ability to speak?"

Xavier pulled back, feeling quite a bit better even if his knuckles were bruised. Some indignities a man had to settle with his fists.

"No, not particularly, but it was amusing to see him try," he said, shrugging. He looked over at Bellatrix and flashed her a grin as he saw the wife. "Very nice touch with that, I think."

He nudged the man's head so it was facing his dancing wife. "Anytime you're ready, Mrs. Lestrange, I do believe you have an enraptured audience."

	Bellatrix smiled like the schoolgirl she had one been and waited until the creature was in the midst of a pretty little turn. "Avada Kedavra." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

McGavin cried out and Xavier even let him reach out a hand to his dead wife as she fell to the floor.

Stepping back, he pointed his own wand and repeated the curse. The flash of green made him smile a little, though he wasn't usually one who really got off on the killing. Unlike some he could name. He didn't mind it, however, especially with putting down specific Mudbloods, like this.

The sudden silence was quite nice, even if the scent of death wafted up to his nose. Time to be going then. "It was lovely working with you, Bellatrix. As always, you're delightful to watch."

Bellatrix stretched up onto her toes, reaching for the sky as she did so. It was so nice to have a happy little outing. Perhaps now she could wait more graciously until it was time for her to move openly.

She nodded at Selwyn's compliments. They were only her due, after all. "Thank you. You're not bad yourself. A bit crude, but still amusing." Waving her wand to set her cloths aright again, she glanced over at him. "You'll do, I suppose. But now I must be getting back to my Lord's side. There are a few less successful of our members coming to report this evening and I must be ready to do my duty."

She smiled prettily. "Ta, Xavier." With that, she Apparated away.

Once she was gone, he rolled his eyes. Crude? Pot, kettle, but he only walked toward the door, affixing his mask again and pointing his wand to the sky. Inviting her had done its job, hopefully. The more he ingratiated himself with the Dark Lord's inner circle the more likely it would be he would become a part of it.

"Morsmordre," he said, watching as the green skull appeared over the house. It probably wasn't entirely necessary to leave a calling card anymore, but it would serve to keep the public in line for a few more of their changes down the line. Best they knew ahead of time to what end troublemakers came.

He Disapparated as he heard some sort of high pitched noise approaching. Probably one of those Muggle peace men. Good thing he wasn't an Obliviator or else he'd be in for a busy night.
