Grindelwald is bored - and a bored dark wizard is never a good thing.

He's sitting in the main room of the Mansion, idly flicking his wand. The nearby furniture transfigures into random, grotesque animals and back again before they can make so much as a yelp of surprise.

He sighs loudly, signalling his boredom. Any company would be more than welcome

Donleavy looks up from her glass of sherry latest treatise with annoyance. In a rather testy, though not unintimidated, voice, she replies:

"Might I ask you to cease that ridiculous transfiguration, sir, if it is not too much trouble?"

[ggrindelwald]

"Why? Are you going to entertain me instead?" He speaks with mild amusement at her annoyance.

[patriciamydear]

"It is neither my wish nor my responsibility to entertain you," Donleavy replies, in a strained voice used to dealing with difficult students. "However, you might consider finding a...less gruesome way to alleviate your boredom."

As soon as the words leave Donleavy's mouth, she thinks about her advice. The hypocrisy of the statement maes her smile ever so slightly.

"What's so gruesome? Don't you like animals?"

He had been lying between a long couch and the window, the better for to get the last of the afternoon sun to read his book by. He looks out by and by, the animals may not be making noise themselves, but the sounds of things shifting around constantly draws his attention.

So, head propped up on arms on the back of the sofa, he watches the different transfigurations and wishes that he could be that good already.

[ggrindelwald]

He catches sight of Albus watching and gives him a smile, remembering meeting him earlier.

[little_asp]

He gives a small smile in return, still intent on watching himself around the older youth, even if he didn't appear to be overly harmful.

"Want to learn some tricks?" He offers.

Dr. Hoenikker has never seen anything like this, and as such his attention has drifted to a single item. After ten minutes of staring, Felix looks towards Grindelwald and says loudly and distantly, "This end-table is doing the damnedest thing."

[ggrindelwald]

"Is it?" He asks, feigning innocence and lowering his wand. There's an amused sparkle in his eyes.

[fatherof4or5]

"A moment ago, it was definitely a turtle, but now it's got a lamp on it." He pauses and looks puzzled in no particular direction. "How could it do that?"

[ggrindelwald]

"It must be a magic table."

Owl, sitting on the mantelpiece, hoots--except that it can't be heard. Looking, you can see he's opened his beak and made a sound, but your ears have heard nothing.

A moment later, a boy hurries into the room. There are thorns in his hair, and his shirt is torn, and any wizard worth his salt can probably see that he's a ghost, and something more than a ghost; real and not-real, and hungry, hungry, and sad, as he holds out a hand for Owl, and Owl just looks back silently.

[ggrindelwald]

He notices the owl and the boy and looks at both curiously.

[owl_and_heart]

Kavi says, Owl, please, and that's all that can be heard--the suggestion of a voice in your mind, nothing actually spoken aloud.

[ggrindelwald]

He projects his mind back. Can you speak aloud?
