After a few moments of silence, the door was dramatically pulled ajar and the bang from the chain stopping the door from opening further was startling.
“What do you want?” It was a tall man, almost a full head taller than Marcus. The man, looking defiantly like a Snape, glared down at his guest with the nose of a gun peeking out with him at waist level.
OOC: It's fun to see how Marcus responds to threats. I didn't know he could get this snippy!marcus_flitwickAugust 26 2007, 13:27:15 UTC
Marcus froze momentarily- unlike many wizards, he had at least a passing acquaintance with the world of muggles, and knew full well that the thing being pointed at him was a gun
( ... )
Marcus looked between the Snapes- the familial resemblance was clear, and the boy looked nervous. Marcus sighed as he spoke to Edmund first.
"I'll let you down. I apologize if I overstepped my bounds, mister Snape; I was mostly concerned for my safety. I'll release you now so we can discuss things." Marcus dismissed the spell holding Edmund in place, and waited for him to regain his seat.
"Now, Victorious! I assume you received the letter correctly, yes? I'm simply here to see whether or not you wish to attend Hogwarts, and if you do, I'll give you some help with your shopping."
Once released, Edmund stepped off the table and sat himself in the other chair. He still looked angry, but said nothing and let Flitwick continue. Victor jumped at hearing his name. “I…” He looks at his father. “Yes, I got the letter. It, um, sounded…would it be ok dad?” “Sure.” Edmund was busy looking at his gun, wondering what the wizard might have done to it. He looks at Flitwick. “You’ll fix this before you go, yes?” “You mean it? You’ll really let me go? Edmund looks back at his son. “Why not. Besides, you’re mother would never forgive me if you didn’t go to that pig school, whatever its name was.” “Hogwarts.” Victor’s grin may well have made the trip to the Snape’s worth it. Even Edmund had to laugh.

"Excellent!" Beamed Marcus. "Wonderful news. And mister Snape, the gun works fine- I merely temporarily hardened the air inside the barrel. It should wear off in about an hour or so."
Marcus turned his attention to the boy. "Victorious, you'll have noticed that there's a bit of a shopping list for you to pick up before you start school. Now, since you've not got much experience with the wizarding side of things, I thought you might appreciate a hand with your shopping. If you like, we can take care of it now. Shall we?"
