[𝙻𝙴𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴. ♔ @KlNGLESTRANGE]

( a smile forms, not one of joy. oh no. )

Careful, brother mine.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

{ gentle little press of the tip on his brothers throat, RIGHT next to the vocal chords. go on. once more. }

[𝙻𝙴𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴. ♔ @KlNGLESTRANGE]

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

he's pushing his brother up against the wall - little knife held to his throat. make fun of him again, go on.

[𝙻𝙴𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴. ♔ @KlNGLESTRANGE]

Watch your tongue. Batty.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

good, it's the way that he keeps them all on edge. he's an unpredictable fucker.

a small smile. go.

She shall do just that .. willingly
too .. he scares her .

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

{ curling up in the corner, stop with the names, he hates the names. }

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

another scoff, followed by another head shake.

sure, whatever. don't disturb him.

[𝘋𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘴 𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘯 @alluringrider_]

‘ it.. it’s true . ’ or at least it was at first .
Now they’ve just been hanging together
without such an excuse .

‘ sort of , at least .. ’

⠀

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

... so is she staying with us?

[𝙻𝙴𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴. ♔ @KlNGLESTRANGE]

I know I said that. I've changed my mind.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

shut the fuck up, rodolphus.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

"liar."

he's an exceptional liar himself, he knows what he's being played - head tilting once more.

[𝘋𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘴 𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘯 @alluringrider_]

⠀

She just about choked on her own air .
Coughing a bit whilst wide eyed at him .

‘ I— , uh .. he’s been helping me . With
getting used to the whole .. deatheaters
thing . ’

⠀

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

we don't have friends. we're prisoners, prisoners don't HAVE friends, you said that, a long time ago.

[𝙻𝙴𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴. ♔ @KlNGLESTRANGE]

Because I invited her here. She's a friend.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

"that's a shame, I was going to maim you and use you as a dart board otherwise, people always ruin the fun." there's a shrug as he took a sip. "Oh well, so .. miss "love good" - why did rodolphus invite you here?"

[𝘋𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘴 𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘯 @alluringrider_]

⠀

It always came down to that with the
families . She knew this even at a
young age .

‘ pure blood , ’ she answered , keeping
it short and to the point . She herself
never cared for the titles and status’ .

⠀

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

piss off.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

then why the FUCK is there a guest in our home??

[𝙻𝙴𝚂𝚃𝚁𝙰𝙽𝙶𝙴. ♔ @KlNGLESTRANGE]

No, I'm not ill.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

{ jaw clenching. keep calm, rabastan. }

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

"what's your blood status?"

an important question, for the lestranges are one of the most respected families in the wizarding world - clean, the only family in the sacred 28 that isnt married to a cousin or whatever.

[𝘋𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘴 𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘯 @alluringrider_]

⠀

‘ didn’t .. know that was a bad thing — ’
She frowned , watching him closely ,
she didn’t know if she should leave
or just remain for now .

⠀

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

take. that. back.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

take that back.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

I don't like that nickname, take it back.

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

what do you mean by that?

[𝐄𝐒𝐂𝐔𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐀, 𝐉𝐀𝐕𝐈𝐄𝐑. @dividedfate]

a scoff of disgust was given towards her, before he leaned forward and decanted some wine into a glass for himself - ugh.

[𝘋𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘴 𝘛𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘳𝘺𝘦𝘯 @alluringrider_]

⠀

She shifted her feet , giving a small
glance around the manor before
answering . She was a little nervous
but kept her composure .

‘ Lovegood , my surname is Lovegood . ’
