Rodolphus shared a small smirk with Mafalda at her teasing, before turning to look down on the younger man. "Are you not?" The comment was harsh, "You are inexperienced in comparison to us, Adrian. Therefore, is that not what you are?"
"I'm attempting to teach you. If you listen then you will be great-" His eyes glowed with the promise, "But if you're to pout and whimper at the slighest criticism, then you will continue to remain that child."
"Crucio." His right-hand spell. Rodolphus' cruciatus' were almost crippling even when they had been lifted. Poor Adrian.
Rodolphus stared down unfeelingly at the boy, before beckoning Mafalda over. "He doesn't wish us to think of him as a boy, you know. So quick to grow up." He leaned down, fiercely kissing Mafalda.
"Were you thinking of marring her pretty face?" He asked Adrian before viciously backhanding Mafalda. "Why did you stop?"
His boots made heavy noise agains the floor as he moved over to Mafalda, "Crucio!" Her turn. Not lifting the spell, he looked over his shoulder to Adrian, "Imperius is fine for muggles and others, but not always good when you want them to feel the consequences of their actions."
