Welcome to Gaia! ::

Emrys pulled out his pocket watch and opened it up, reading the time before he put it away. "Father said that the driver would be here about ten o’clock. But knowing the idiot he’ll be here a good ten minutes late." It was clear that he was not thrilled about the matter and had dealt with the person in question more than once. He stepped outside with the siblings but made no move to get close or play nice with Elli. If anything he looked like he was in no mood for the whole thing. When the driver finally arrived Emrys chewed him out thoroughly, even threatened to have him fired. The drive to the station was no better, he complained about his bad driving most of the time. The man was a bad driver but Emrys did take it a bit far. When they finally arrived to Kings Cross, Emrys told off the driver once more. Told him to leave before leading the siblings where they needed to go to get to the Hogwarts Express. Once there, he told Ellireyanna and Evander to follow him, sounded like an order. Emrys didn’t care how they took it as long as they did as he said. They got onto the train and went to one of the back cars. It was decorated a little more elaborated than the other cars, clearly another thing done by the Minister. Going to the furthest compartment he went and opened the door, and sat down inside.

Emrys waited for the other two to sit down and looked them both other silently. Studied them, analyzed them, and tried to figure out what their angle was. Elli didn’t fawn all over Emrys when they first met, and he was glad for that. So this one has some brains, thank god. Still not enough for me to reconsider this marriage. But she didn’t outright tell me that she doesn’t want to get married either. What is her plan? What is she up to? After another moment or so he finally decided to speak his mind. "I don’t want this marriage, it is very clear that you don’t want this marriage. And knowing my father and I’m sure your grandmother a simple ‘We disapprove’ won’t be enough to change their minds. Need to be a bit more creative than that. But seeing as you haven’t outright said that you don’t want to marry me then you have something up your sleeve. If the plan isn’t stupid I’m willing to help you out. A temporary partnership to reach a shared goal. And you agree to that?”

Egocentric? Emrys could be called that and much more but he had his reasons to refuse the marriage. "It’s nothing personal, I’m sure you are a nice enough of a girl and you are pretty. But when it is someone else that decides to pick everything for your wedding from decorations, to date, and even your bride it is rather off putting," he said with some sarcasm and disgust. Then Ellireyanna looked at Evander, giving each other interesting looks before she then looked back at him. But she didn’t look at it him it seemed, looked like she was looking through him. Now this is interesting to say the least. Must have some kind of special ability. She might be one to recon with. He couldn’t help but smirk a bit, sitting back to relax some as he pet Melinda’s head as she stayed coiled around his neck. Then she spoke once more, hinted at what she had in mind for more than just their two families. Emrys chuckled kind of darkly, he was starting to enjoy the meeting finally.

"Minister Emrys might have a nice ring to it, but we could always get back to that detail. But I do want to say one thing, death will be too good for him. No, I’d like to see the look on his face when everything he covets when he loses it all. After that it would be too cruel to let him live with so much pain.” At that point Emrys paused as he felt Melinda uncoil from his neck and the wrapped around his arm. Did it so that her head was laying on the back of his hand so that he could bring his arm down. But then he didn’t have a free hand to spare because the one was free then started to stroke the snake. "Now for just plans you will need plenty of information. Not just the school but the Ministry of Magic. Need to know what you are up against. Now as partners I’d be happy to share any needed information as long as my previously stated wish is granted. And some how link my mother to all of it as well because in a manner of speaking she is well aware of my father’s deeds. Though I would be heartless to not consider your end of this silly arranged marriage deal. I would do what I can to help with your grandmother.”

Emrys put his one hand up in defense as he shrugged a bit. "Sorry for the eagerness, but this b*****d has the people of the magical world so wrapped around his finger they don’t realize that they are choking. Figured it was high time that someone cut his Puppet Master strings. But I can’t do it on my own despite having enough information to get him sacked. I need help with others, but everyone thinks he is the best man since Dumbledore." He scoffed while he pet the head of his pet snake. Tried to keep his temper calm as he listened to Elli as she continued. Place for a base huh? There are a few places that they could use, but which would be the best to use? He sat there thinking for a little while, going over the school lay out that he knew of. Last year he was a Prefect as well and could walk around to some more places, so he knew more about the school than the average student. "If you need a spot there are a few places to pick. There is the Room of Requirement, the best known secret of Hogwarts. Though not all the students know about it, just the ones that wish to hide something. There is the Shrieking Shack along the outskirts of Hogsmeade that we go to every weekend. Can get to there from the school by the opening under the Whomping Willow. But Lysander has to use it every full moon for his changes. And there is the damaged part of the school from the final battle with Voldemort. It’s down in the dungeon area of the school but still sound enough to walk around in. No one uses it because it is damaged but because it is out of the way and rarely seen so the teachers haven’t gotten around to fixing the area.”

Ellireyana’s last sentence drew a dark grin to Emrys’s face. He was sure what she had in mind now, what she wished to do. "Ah, so what would I be calling you then? Dark Lady? A new dark leader would really wound the Ministry after all their big talk about how they have cleaned the world of Voldemort’s evil. Well that was just one evil now wasn’t it? Time for another yes? I understand what you are saying and I’m fine with that. I’ll play pawn for you then.”
