Adrian's Flat, tag to his man crush...I mean Roddy
Who: Adrian Pucey and Roddy Lestrange
When: 10.00 pm
Where: Adrian's flat
What: Finished. Adrian gets a VERY unexpected visit from Rodolphus Lestrange. Plot is revealed and kidnappings will soon take place. NOW YOU KNOW.

Adrian stepped out of the shower, stepping through the thoroughly steam filled bathroom. He grabbed a smaller towel and ran it over his head lightly. Then he used the larger one to towel off the rest of his body and wrapped it around his torso. He slung the smaller one over his shoulder and then opened the door to his sitting room. The coolness pulled at his skin. He enjoyed the transitioning temperature and allowed a grin between him and his flat. He'd probably have a snack, flip through Playwizard, have a wank and then call it an early night.

He moved over to the cooler box and grabbed a beer, taping it open with his wand. Then he tossed his wand onto the relatively unused and rather dusty kitchen counter. He gave a contented sigh and turned back to his sitting room. Where had he put that bloody magazine anyway?

"Hm. Yes." Rodolphus nodded thoughtfully, "Though they haven't much money, am I correct? It may be well enough to hit them, just to keep others on their toes. We mightn't get much from it." Cold eyes met the younger man, "Well, name names, boy! I haven't all night."

For a brief moment Rodolphus mulled over another punishing spell before deciding against it. Part of Voldemort's downfall was that many times he made his followers operate blind and so they were unable to perform to the best of their abilities. "I have information that recently, magic abilities have been starting to vanish. I've only heard of one or two cases, both women, but it may be something bigger scale than just them, and if so, I want to be prepared."

"Well, Draco, for certain, I know his father was such an asset," something like a happy smile crossed Adrian's face at the mention of one of his mentors, "There's that Capper boy, I know his father is involved in a high up Communications business. Uh, Salazar, Seth Moon, resident play boy and poof but he's certainly loaded and an ex-Slytherin. He certainly could hold his own in the common room. The Nott boy, a high end prosecutor."

He paused, wracking his brains for more names when suddenly, "It would be fun to hit the Weasleys hard. You know, sir, let everyone know we mean business. That youngest boy, Ron, he's just asking for it."

And then, "And Severus Snape, of course."

"Yes, my nephew." Rodolphus nodded, "Tell me, what about his wife? I've yet to have the...pleasure." He didn't really plan on hurting the Malfoys just yet. They were his only family, and through default, Draco was the only heir to the Blacks as well as the Lestranges.

"Capper. An idiot. All males, unfortunately. I want this as easy as possible, if it doesn't effect men, it could get messy. I want no screw ups. Nott. Yes, he's quite disappointing. His father was one of my closest friends. But I don't believe there are any women left in any branch of his family. Perhaps the Abbotts. And the Bones'. Do gooders all of them."

A dark smile crossed the older man's face. "Yes, the Weasleys. Those disgusting blood traitors." He looked murderous, "The only issue with them is that rat Potter would get far too involved. As much as I loathe to admit it, we're not ready for that yet. Though it would be fun to get that youngest....Perhaps as a gift to you one day. I've heard she's a spitfire. Don't worry boy, we will decimate them soon enough."

Rodolphus said nothing on the issue of Snape, "Yes, his loyalty...the greatest mystery of my occupation."

"Parvati? She's as harmless as a bobbed manticore, but still every bit as clever. I assure you she's entirely dedicated to Draco and purebloods as a whole." He managed to refrain from adding, fucking gorgeous. "But I will keep my eye out for other potential, highly connected purebloods. The ones that straddle the fence, they disgust me, sir."

Because Adrian had almost no contact with Potter during the war he was quite interested in sinking his teeth into the young upstart. Personally it seemed certain that the best way to go around this was harming those he loved and weren't the Weasleys an excellent target! "A gift, sir?" Now that thought made him very happy. "I look forward to earning the chance."

Adrian perked up at Rodolphus' response to Snape but it didn't seem any new information was coming. Disappointing. Adrian has his own doubts, but perhaps those were better left unspoken. He didn't need a Quidditch World Cup incident all over again.

"Indeed. I'll have to gauge that myself. My nephew...he hasn't taken the reigns in quite the same manner that I'd have expected. He retains the silver tongue and dark mind of his father though. Beware of him, but do not touch him."

"Certainly. Although all may not be doers as the more powerful, the least they could do is provide the funding for those who do their dirty work. Pathetic, those neutrals. No concept of believing in their cause. It's why they will never exceed beyond the mediocre."

"Of course." Rodolphus gave the boy a cheerful clap on the back, "To the victor goes the spoils. I always reward those who show loyalty and strength."

Then, in a swift motion the discarded Playwizard was picked up off the floor and thrown at Adrian's stomach, "I'll leave you to this, then. You'll be told your orders in a few days." And with that, he was gone.

Adrian's heart sank a bit at Rodolphus' simple assessment of Draco. To be perfectly honest, he'd love to see the young wizard tortured at the hands of every Renegade until he broke and joined without thought.

But he was back to his usual optimism at Rodolphus' reassurance. Of course he'd go up in the ranks. He'd been by Rodolphus' side since he'd heard the wizard was still alive and he wasn't about to leave. And he'd soon have his spoils and his choice of spoils. Life would be good once more.

Adrian stared at the place from which the older wizard had disapparated. "Right, good-bye then." He glanced down at the Playwizard in his lap and felt a bit of color return to his face. Then again, that had been his plans earlier in the evening and now he had a few knew things to consider.
