“What a welcome surprise, to see you first to arrive instead of missing your most necessary presence.” Millicent nearly gushed as she welcomed the early arrival of Mrs. Lestrange. She had expected the former Dark Lord’s favourite to miss nearly the entire gathering and was most delighted to see circumstances had permitted her to join them at once. Millicent allowed the older, more experienced witch to set the guidelines for their greeting, not wanting to presume on Bellatrix’s good graces ( ... )

He met her gaze and nodded briefly as she commented that they could start when he wished. Though he hadn't realised he was heading this meeting, it seemed natural that he should.
He watched Millicent walk to hang up his cloak, with brief appreciation of the leather trousers and stiletto heels. He'd always thought their meetings at lacked enough female presence. Turning to the rest of the gathering, he noted the presence of Miss Greengrass. Doubtlessly she would be asking after Draco ( ... )

He turned as Lucius entered and nodded briefly. "Lucius."
He frowned. No young Master Malfoy then. His hopes regarding Draco's loyalties began to waver. This would not do. Draco Malfoy needed to be loyal. He was Lucius' legacy. His defection would look poorly on Lucius. Come to think of it, why wasn't he here? Did Lucius not have an excuse ready? Would he truly allow his son to become a blood traitor?
His lip twitched. Not so good an influence on Daphne then. He might need to remind the boy of his place, his status. A Malfoy blood traitor. How could Narcissa allow it? He glanced at Bellatrix. And what have you to say about your nephew?He wondered about the boy once more, looking at Daphne, wondering what she was thinking. Was she disappointed, upset? If that boy hurt her ( ... )

"Forgiven, of course," she said with a small smile. "I, too, really should be more attentive."
She noted his frown, following his gaze to Lucius. Bellatrix responded to the question in Augustus' eyes with a small shrug and roll of her eyes, content to let her annoyance with the whole situation momentarily show on her face. Did Lucius really think no one would notice Draco's absence?
Bellatrix would much prefer that Augustus be the one directing the meeting, better him the Lucius. She'd never really enjoyed what felt like the paperwork end of Death Eater antics, feeling in many ways that such trivial matters were beneath her. But now, with more than one point of view streaming through her eyes, she was ever more pleased to see Augustus in a position of authority.
Still, they just couldn't help themselves. She consciously schooled her tongue to avoid hissing out her S's.
"Perhaps we should wait a moment more. Ssurely we're missing someone?" she said diplomatically, but allowed her gaze to rest on

He looked at Augustus and Bellatrix. For all he knew, for all Draco knew--and he wasn't surely exactly what Draco remembered--these two could have been amongst those who had tortured his son. There were certain things Lucius expected Draco to portray in public, but he couldn't hold Draco's wish not to attend this meeting against him. It wasn't as though he'd had any semblence of a pleasant experience as a Death Eater, and though this was quite pointedly not a Death Eater meeting, it rested uneasily in the shadow of one ( ... )

"I wholeheartedly agree with Augustus. " Bellatrix added. "And Millicent is right, we need unified cooperation. Without order and organization we have no hope. As one, the pure can cleanse the filth that is degrading our world."
She turned her attention to Lucius again. She had promised Narcissa to try to be nicer to him. "And obviously, the blood traitor cannot be permitted to take the Ministry. Lucius is the ideal candidate."
Taking a moment to pause, she reached for a glass of wine their hostess had provided. She loved the atmosphere in the room at that moment, those first tentative moments of admissions and plotting. Her sharp focus alone kept the hissing restricted within her head. The group was small.

“Positively brilliant, Bellatrix!” She exclaimed, unable to resist the idea of a Register of Pure Bloods that would declare the rightful place of each one in their community without question. It was something she knew and kept track of for her own amusement and interest, but to have it actually inscribed in the Hall of Records for all time was a heady thought. It could go far towards achieving their ultimate goals.
“If we use our combined strength and talents, who would not be soon persuaded of the benefit to the community?”
