The New Year's Eve Plot!

[maliciousmillie]

Millicent made her way to the Department of Mysteries with Adrian by her side. No one had stopped them so far. Even the guards seemed to be off duty tonight. It was unusual, but she'd suggested to Percy that he demand that everyone be off tonight.

No one was in the Department when she entered and she and Adrian made their way quickly to the Veil.

Alert and authoritative, Adrian walked at Millicent's side, growing more aware of what was going on as he went. This could be the key to success, to winning the entire war and taking over the whole wizarding war.

As they approached the Veil, Adrian shivered as he felt a vague eeriness flood over them both. Perhaps this place shouldn't bother him too much, but Adrian couldn't help but wonder all the things that had happened, here in this place. And what would eventually happen.

"How does one normally go about doing this?" he murmured to Millicent, looking around the place.

[maliciousmillie]

"Everything went as planned with the charm I found," she replied, looking fondly at the Veil as if it were a long lost friend.

[pukeypucey]

He nodded. "That would make sense, then."

Looking at his watch, perhaps his only muggle possession, Adrian saw that it was a few minutes till midnight. "I suppose we should wait a couple minutes, just for dramatic effect," he teased slyly.

[maliciousmillie]

"That was my plan," she grinned, giving him a wink as she did away with her glamour. She would put it back on as they left as a precaution.

Bellatrix turned her wide-eyed, unblinking stare on Millicent. The last thing she remembered was a flash of green light and a pain in her right hand. It was gone now. "Thank you," she said, in a tone that was less polite and more dangerous. She looked around, recognising the place where she had killed her cousin. "Why am I here?"

[maliciousmillie]

"Both of you are here," Millicent started, waving her hand around the room. "Because you've come back from the dead through the Veil. The current Minister of Magic is a complete blighter. He's been almost impossible to control, but now that I have him under the Imperius curse, he's quite cooperative. The Ministry is allowing Muggles and lower magical creatures to have rights in our world. We need to take the wizarding world back. That is why you are here. But I can't say much more than that, as we are in the Ministry. I must get you both safely back to Bulstrode Manor where we can speak most freely."

[bellabornagain]

A thin smile spread across Bellatrix's face. The news that she had been dead and brought back to life didn't perturb her in the slightest. Whoever this girl was, she was young and no doubt inexperienced. Once Bella found out the score, she would be the one in charge.

Salazar unwillingly turned to Bellatrix. "Are you a member of Nigellus family?" he asked suddenly, recognizing her stature. The Nigellus family was a very prominent family where he was from, dating back to way before he had lived.

Lived. How had he died?

[maliciousmillie]

"Two thousand eight as of midnight," she replied, keeping her voice authoritative. She removed her wand and placed her glamour back over her face on the off chance someone should be in the Ministry at this time of night.

"Adrian, please escort Bellatrix back to the manor and show her into the study next to Lucius' room," she said as soon as they were at the Apparation points. "We will meet there tonight with him to discuss further plans."

[pukeypucey]

Adrian nodded his head, obeying, and offered his arm to Bellatrix. "May I?" he asked quietly before Apparating them both back to the Bulstrode Manor.

[maliciousmillie]

Millicent smiled. It was one of the first times she'd smiled in weeks. She was completely satisfied with herself and the plan thus far.

"Come with me, m'lord," she said, looping her arm through Salazar's. "We have a meeting to attend." With that, she Apparated them both back to Bulstrode Manor.
