Staff Room

[Landon Cromwell]

Ladon tried to reach his wand and after some struggle he did and managed to choke out an expeliarmus at Alecto's direction.

[Amycus Carrow]

Another, less than sane laugh left Amycus's throat, hand now moving to cup the choking man's face as his own nuzzled against his cheek in mock affection. Keeping his head resting against Landon's, his large hand holding it firmly in place despite the other's struggles, the dark haired male tilted to let his cold eyes slide lovingly over to his twin, offering her a happy, evil smile in response.

"What do I say, sweet sister?" he mused playfully, fingers caressing the blonde's cheeks. "I say he needs to be taught his lesson~ Prevarication is a terrible thing, no?"

(Posted without seeing that last post Christine, so assume this was before yours)

[Alecto Carrow]

"Hmm… well I had felt bad for him, you know, choking and all his first day but then he tried an… what was that? Expelleramus on me?" she laughed and gave a wide grin "What are you? A fifth year student?"

[Saka (M.H.)]

Severus walks into the staff room calmly until he takes in the site before him. Are we having a nice chat, Amycus?" Severus says with a sneer. "Or just making new friends? Did this one catch your eye, Alectro? "

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto gave a sweet smile "Always Severus…" she purred. "We were just notifying him of the importance of picking the correct allegiance…."

[Amycus Carrow]

Still not releasing his hold on the captive male, Amycus allowed his head to tilt towards the newcomer to the room, teeth flashing in a large, savage grin at the sight of Severus, black eyes glittering as he took him in.

"You know me, Sev-er-us," he purred back, deliberately annunciating the man's name out as the Potion Master was prone to do in his speech to make a point. "I'm always making friends... you should join us. It'd be cozy, all four of us getting to know each other, no?"

[Saka (M.H.)]

Yes, one must always be willing to instruct others of the advantage a proper choice can hold," Severus says with a sneer. "However does your brother need to rough up the new recruit so soon? I think you have played enough, Amycus, do let the simpleton down now.

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto glared but just looked at her brother indicating for him to listen. Because of his feat with Dumbledore (one that even impressed her) Severus was now right under the Dark Lord in his ranks. They would not do well to anger him so soon "You're really no fun Severus…" she mock pouted though her eyes still glinted.

[Amycus Carrow]

"No fun at all," Amycus sighed, expression pulling into an annoyed one as he -reluctantly- released Cromwell, shifting back in his seat so that he was no longer touching the Arithmancy expert. Sprawling out, the Death Eater crossed his legs at the ankles, black eyes running over the Headmaster in consideration. "You really ought to lighten up you know Snape... do wonders for your health. We could help you with that if you wanted?" he offered with a sharp smile.

[Alecto Carrow]

"Indeed," his twin said with a slow, cat-like smile as she fingered her wand. "You need only ask…"

[Saka (M.H.)]

"No I suppose I am no fun when compared to you two," Severus says with a negligent wave of his hand. "I will leave the fun to the both of you until classes start. Then the real fun begins as we, reform the obstante dunderheads. They, most of them at any rate will need a firm hand. I will have plenty of time to play then."

He had to save as many as he could well not making it obvious and his minders were sure to make that task near impossible.

[Alecto Carrow]

"Oh I know!" Alecto chimed with a smile "We've already been working on our lesson plans, haven't we Brother dear?"

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus entered the room and paused in the doorway. Leaning against the door frame he watched the conversation unfold amusement flickering in his dark eyes. "Your lesson plans should be quite a treat Alecto." he told her as he fully entered the room and made his way to an available seat.

"Amycus," he greeted before his eyes fell on Snape. "Headmaster." he added with a slight incline of his head as a show of respect. His gaze turned to the fifth person in the room. "Who are you exactly?" he asked having never seen the man before.

[Landon Cromwell]

Landon straightened himself up when they finally let him go "Hello headmaster." he greeted Severus and then turned to the new person who entered "LAndon Cromwell" he said.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus tilted his head slightly in curiosity and tapped his chin in thought. "Cromwell.." he said. "Hmm...Notoriously neutral family. How is that working out for you?" he asked.

[Saka (M.H.)]

"Lestrange,"Severus says with a nod of his head.

[Professor Sprout]

Pomona braced herself and gazed at the door from the far end of the hallway, approaching it slowly. She was certain it was full of Death Eaters but she was decided to enter the Staff Room nonetheless.
She took in a deep breath as she approached.
"Pardon me," she said to the man blocking the entry.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus looked over as Sprout entered and shook his head. He was astounded that the light supporters decided to come back at all.

[Amycus Carrow]

"Fairly poorly," Amycus replied, face brightening up as his glittering eyes fell on RODOLPHUS. "We were just having a lovely chat about why he should reconsider his stance, weren't we sweet-Sister? And have no fear headmaster, Alecto and I have been quite diligent in planning our new classes. I think you'll find them very educational."

"Hey Rod, been a while," he added to the new male in a purr. "How's the wife~?"

Like the others his gaze flickered curiously to the door as the fat Whitehat stepped into the room, the Hufflepuff clearly nervous at their presence but insisting on entering nonetheless. Quirking an eyebrow, Amycus tilted his head as he studied her like a bug.

[Professor Sprout]

"It's not polite to stare, Mr Carrow," Sprout told the younger man, passing between them. "Headmaster," she greeted Severus on her way to the table, placing her parchments on it and nodding at the rest of the people present.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus watched Sprout in mild amusement before turning back to Amycus. "It has been a while hasn't it?" he asked before answering the other mans question. "Bellatrix is doing well. She is thriving now that things are as they should be. Her desire and drive haven't dampened a bit."

[Amycus Carrow]

"And?" Amycus asked the plump witch, teeth showing in a vicious, bloodthirsty grin. "I rather like to stare, Hufflepuff... Is there a problem with that?"

At Rod's reply, the Dark Arts professor glanced over, watching in amusement as he spoke about the illustrious Bella. Slowly his eyes flicked to his sister to see how she was taking mention of the much hated witch, or indeed, the appearance of her one time flame. Alecto never really was one for forgiveness.

"So I hear... hear she's positively oozing desire these days," he offered back with a pleasant (false) smile, getting in a dig about Bella's... enthusiastic devotion to Voldemort and the subsequent rumours in the ranks about it.

[Professor Sprout]

"That is Professor Sprout for you, Mr Carrow," she looked at him. "I don't believe your newly acquired rank has stripped you from being a polite person, has it?" she added in an even voice. She was surprised at herself that she managed to keep it steady, she felt she was trembling from the inside.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus scowled at Amycus. "Must you bring that up?" he asked. "That is not something I like to dwell on." He added and then paused thoughtfully. "Bella isn't fond of rumors either, she tends to react spectacularly violent at ones that are aimed at her."

He turned to Sprout. "Aren't we all colleagues here?" he asked her a nasty smile on his face. "Surely we can move beyond the use of titles when conversing with each other, after all we are all after the same thing, teaching the children about their place in the world."

[Professor Sprout]

"Precisely why he should be polite, Professor Lestrange," she replied, a bit surprised by the man's intervention.

[Amycus Carrow]

"Now why is it dear old Roddy gets a Professor and I don't?" Amucus mused thoughtfully, idly moving to pull his want and start toying with the stem, long fingers running over the wood in a playful manner. Slowly he bared his teeth at the older woman, leaning forward in his seat. "Anyone would think you don't like me, Po-mon-a~" he annunciated slowly as he had with Severus's name. "Why would that be I wonder. Aren't we all friends here...?"

"Though," he added, violent amusement passing over his face. "It's cute you though I was ever 'polite'."

At Rodolphus's comment, the male seemed for forget his increasing focus on the Hufflepuff head for the moment, instead glancing back around as if nothing had happened.

"Of course I must, if I didn't who would?" he asked him reasonably, smirk tugging on his lips. "Someone needs to keep you updated with all those terrible things they say about you and your darling wife.... I'm curious however, you almost sound like you believe them?"

At the comment about Bella he laughed outright, face turning strangely fond.

"Aaaah, she always was fun when she got angry... such spirit... I'll make sure to bring it up with her next time I see her. Just for old time sake."

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

Rodolphus watched Amycus out of the corner of his eyes in wary amusement, he was after all withing the line of fire, and was not willing to become collateral damage.

Turning to face the man as he remarked about his belief of the rumors he smirked. "Believe them?" he asked. "No not hardly." he added and shook his head at the others comment about Bella.

Grabbing a bottle of butterbeer, he took a seat at one of the tables and reclined in the chair, the heels of his dragon hide boots resting on the corner of the table.

"You would be one of the few who I could see saying something and getting away with it," he paused and took a sip of his drink. "well for the most part not completely unscathed but not dead either. I just feel it would be a waste of resources if the under skilled members said something within ear shot of her." he added. "Though, I suppose culling the stupid and weak from our ranks wouldn't be a bad thing." he amended.

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto smirked and shot her brother a look as he glanced over at her, before looking back at Rodolphus "I'm sure her drive is the only thing that hasn't dampened..." the witch remarked dryly, unable to resist the crude joke.

As Sprout began mouthing off to her twin she strolled over to the woman, leaning so that her arm was resting on the shorter lady's head and in a way using her as some type pillar "That interesting thing here is, unlike my 'coworkers' I don't have any unnecessary *need* to pretend you are ever on the same level as me and neither should my brother. In fact you should be lucky if you are not referred to as dirty dumpy woman hence forth..."

All of this information was offered with a sweet smile as she turned her attention to the Hufflepuff head, leaving the cute male 'neutral' to be played with later.

[Rodolphus Lestrange]

"You too?" He asked Alecto with a tilt of his head. "I thought it was only your brother he made crude jokes?" He asked, his eyes following her movements more closely than he should.

[Amycus Carrow]

"Thats because if she killed me, who else would play with her like I do?" Amycus offered back smugly. "She likes it as much as I do. Not that I'd ever let her kill me though. Death would be much to dull."

The wizards eyes idly shifted between his sister, letting out a low chuckle at her antics, and Roddy, recognising the slight flicker of attraction in the other man's face with ease. Slowly Amycus's teeth showed in a grin. Aaaah, things were shaping up to be fun already.

"I'm just better at it," he answered for Alecto.
