"Spare me your ramblings Lucius. I do not need someone telling me what I already know. And I certainly don't need to be hearing it from you." The word rolled off his tounge like venom. "I would rather have three people that believed in what I do and fight loyally beside me, then a group of idiots that try to stab me in the back and talk like a prattling old woman. Small numbers, but great power. Do you understand what I'm saying to you Lucius? You are nothing short of expandable and I should take your life tonight." He raised his wand, but nothing happened. Almost like he was waiting for someone to speak up for him. If anyone would dare.
"Severus..it surprises me that you've returned here when you and I both know where your true loyalties lie. They most certainly are not with me, are they? And Roldophus..you ran away like a coward. What use is that to me? I don't like giving second chances to anyone. In fact, all three of you should be exterminated!" Voldemort flicked his wand and the desk behind him exploded, pieces litering the office.
