Who Christopher and Adrian
Where Adrian's
When Late night
What Angst

Christopher couldn't stand it as he sat between his two brothers facing his a barrage of family members. The sympathetic looks and the whispers, and them all touching his hands, shoulders. Everybody was acting as if his wife was already dead, and Christopher could not stand it. Making a lousy, half-assed excuse, Christopher goes to the washroom. He hadn't told them yet about the price of getting Sally-Ann back, but he had already started to prepare. His parents thought he was going through a stage of grief, but that was not the reason why Christopher sold their summer cottage for a reason, and his best racing broom.

He faced himself in the mirror, looking a little worse for wear. Even through the other side of a door, he could still hear the hushed whispers, and then he was standing outside of another house. Christopher hadn't meant to apparate, but now he was here- Standing awkwardly, tired, and weary outside of his friend's house, Christopher knocked.

	His bottles was midway to his lips when Christopher stopped, eyes staring blankly at Adrian. He didn't mention it. There was nothing about it in the papers. "How did you know that they're asking for ransoms?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	For a very long moment Adrian's mind was totally blank and his hand slowly inched its way towards his wand. Then something clicked and his brain started chugging once more. "Alberto." He took a calming swig from his beer and then settled back into the cushions of his chair. "Fifty-thousand right? Not an easy sum, but hardly a drop in the lake to some folks."

There was a brief silence, heavy and bloated, as Christopher evaluated his friend. His face was suspiciously blank and he made no move to show the building tension in his shoulders. Nodding slightly he said, masking his guard with a casual air of relaxation, "Yeah. But we're not 'some folks.'"

"Hey, just out of curiosity, have you guys found anything?" Christopher prodded, placing his drink on the table, "You know anything?"

"Financial problems then?" Adrian's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. "Alberto saw in his ransom note that if he could not afford the 50,000 galleons there were 'other choices.' Do you have that option as well?"

"No," Adrian replied flatly. "As usual, the Aurors are handling all the finer details. I mean, rumors and partial truths slip through inevitably, but nothing I'd go on the record for. Except," and here Adrian lowered his voice conspiratorially, "Rodolphus Lestrange leads the movement and there's a witch that is both a Renegade and a Ministry employee of some power. So this is just like the Dark Lord all over again."

Adrian killed his beer and then placed it on a n end table. "But, as ever, I'll keep an attentive ear open."

Somewhere in the back of his mind, alarms were going off, although the situation was still far too vague for him to pinpoint exactly why was this conversation holding him out on the edge. "No," Christopher shook his head, he was not about to let out the fact that he was currently at a greater disadvantage than people think, "We're good."

Christopher shrugged nonchalantly, body language giving away nothing as he leaned forward slightly, "Yeah. Not really my thing, though." He couldn't even get through a summer of boy scouts as a child, let alone an evil version of it as an adult.

Nodding, Christopher picked up his drink again but did not bring it to his lips, "What about your family? I guess they're going to pay up?"
