With Us or Against Us? :Casey:Maria:

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey knew why he was flicked. He bit his lower lip, "Sorry." he apologized. He didn't mean to say it. It just came out unconsciously. But Casey was glad that Maria didn't think much of how he worded it. When Alex held him, he snuggled closer unconsciously. Casey did it without even having to think. The need to just be close to Alex was instant. Casey then snorted when Alex said he was the 'physical' one. Oh how he knew. "Physical is one way of putting it." Casey said with an amused smirk on his face before chuckling.

When Maria said that she found them adorable. Casey wanted to bury his face on Alex's neck and hide his face. Then she complimented him and suggested that he be proud of being able to use magic and his werewolf strength at the same time. He smiled and nodded. "I am proud.. even if I don't show it much." she said softly.

Then Alex divided the tasks they would need to do and Casey was glad that he would be able to handle the teens that he had a bone to pick with. Literally. "I'm sure that Maria will be able to do her part. However, I will be taking a bit longer since I will want to enjoy my tasks at hand." he commented as he thought about ripping the two brats limb from limb in front of each other. Oh Casey was tingling now.

[Maria Antonette Boislevesque]

Maria couldn't help but be amused by their actions. She was glad that even if this mate thing didn't work for her, it worked for others. It was rare to find their other half in this corrupt and insane world. she laughed this time when Casey commented on Andrews' being the physical type of man. And she knew well that it wasn't just about him being strong as well.

Then they got down to more business. "I will take care of HIM. My charge would be a bit upset but he will understand. It will take a while but he will come to understand. Time for us immortals teaches one patience that puts gods to shame." she said as she thought of being the one to have to snap Donovan in half. She knew he was adept in wandless magic which was already and advantage since she knew it already.

She then smirked, "Oh? And what does your mate have against two teens?" she asked, intrigued by the thought that this beta in front of her, who looked so soft, so harmless would have a grudge on two teens for a reason. "You can choose not to answer of course. Just curious. Bad habit of mine." she apologized and smiled.

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Nodding when Casey apologized, there no need talk about it anymore, he just didn't want anyone to over hear them, and if they did, he didn't want them knowing what they were talking about. Rolling his eyes at a little when the tables got turned and they started teasing him a bit, Alex just let it wash over him, at least Casey was feeling more comfortable. "Good, we have to get him under some shields afterwards, because otherwise he'll just get out. Your charge knows what's going to happen?" He wondered if the vampire was taking over for Draco or if Draco was actually siding with them.

Opening his mouth, he just shook his head, "Merlin, shut up the both of you." He said it with a smile, he was getting made fun of because he would rather physically fight than magically fight, looking Casey over when he said he was proud of being a werewolf with magic, that was good to hear even if they had settled their issues already. "Eh..." He didn't know what to say, because he didn't want all of his personal issues out, but "I made a mistake and the two were involved, I've already paid my dues, it's their too pay up too." Alex finally said not telling what happen, but giving enough details to answer the question.

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey listened at the plan Alex said and just nodded. Casey would give his two cents when needed. At the moment, it wasn't need. Alex was partially in alpha mode and was planning. It was something Casey didn't want to take away from his alpha so he kept his place and just let Alex do his thing.

Then Alex reacted and he chuckled. "What? I merely pointed out that your more of the person who would do work with his hands." Casey smoothly explained but knew Alex and Maria would see the teasing remark in it.

When Alex had explained, Casey remained neutral. He just nodded. "One would have been innocent if he just didn't get involve while the other was INVOLVED. But it's fine now." CAsey said his part and smiled brightly.

[Maria Antonette Boislevesque]

Maria listened and nodded. But in her mind, she was keeping Draco at home! She was going to make sure that her soon-to-be son will not be going anywhere near the Riddle Manor if Maria could make it so. Draco would not be ready and he might even go berserk if he would smell the blood which she knew would be there. "I will explain it to him." was all she said. She knew they needed as much hands as they could but she didn't want to risk Draco's immortal life at all.

Then Andrews and his mate interacted and Maria watched. It was so amusing. "What? I didn't mean anything at all." she commented but was smiling at them both. Andrews was too easy to rile up... in an amusing way of course.

When she heard the explanation, Maria knew there was more to it but it was personal. She simply nodded and accepted what was given to her. "I'll keep my hands off them then. I won't want to get in the way of another creature's prey. You have yours and I have mine. I just hope that the other 'man' wouldn't be there as well." Maria said as she shifted at the thought of one Benjamin Burke. She didn't like him for personal reasons and she had good personal reasons.

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Running his hands over Casey's side as he spoke to Maria, he turned to Casey every so often to see if his mate was present in the mind, and if he agreed with what Alex was saying. Over the few years they've been together, Alex would be able to see if he said something Casey didn't agree with. Raising both his eyebrows at his mate, as if to say, 'oh really?' when Maria joined in the innocence. Laughing, the older man just shook his head, "Aw, Case, you made a friend. I feel like the old man now, should I let you kids play?" Alex teased his mate, as they were ganging up on him. 

Looking Maria over, he wasn't sure if she would let it, but really it was none of her business. Why Casey wanted to deal with the trainees himself, that 100% his business. It wasn't going to effect how they worked, how they planned, or risk what they'll be doing. So when she let it go, he rolled his eyes over to Casey, he didn't say anything, but was pleased that Casey said very little about the topic as well. Kissing Casey's temple, even though Starry wasn't the place for cuddling moments, he ignored it. The kiss wasn't for touching purposes, it was so that Casey understood that Alex was grateful for Casey dropping it simply.

"Okay, so I'll meet you here, we'll apperate to another area. I'll let you know when we get there, from that point we'll apperate as close as we can get. After that I'll be leading you two through the shields, when we get through that point, I'll head for teachers and my wolf, Casey will have the trainees." Once Alex said that part of the plan aloud, he realized that was a bad idea, Casey was more talented with magic than Alex was, and Casey was battling the weaker wizards while Alex took on the stronger ones? He turned back to his mate, Casey needed this, and Alex promised him. He just hoped that he would be enough, or that he could recruit Ben. Alex would have to try to recruit him.

So Alex continued on, talking to Maria, "As soon as you enter, there's going to be staircase, send as many warning spells as you can up through it, but do not go up there. There is an alarm system that you won't be able to get around in time, so when he does come down, get him down, but not dead. He'll be really useless to us dead, can you handle that?" Alex asked seriously, this was a small plan, but it was one worth making to him. "Once we have the building under control, me and Case will handle him, you can bring your charge inside at that point, but you are responsible for everything he does." Giving the vampire a pointed look, that if Draco was turned, and blood was shed because he wasn't in control of himself yet, it was be Maria's fault.

"Once we get this covered, we'll get working to the bigger and better, but small steps right now." Once Draco was turned, Alex would have recruited or/and turned more people, they'd have the ministry down as dust in less than a week. They could not fail this, there was too much too loose now that they've started, but for now, it was the Riddle house they needed to conquer.

[Casey Sam Richards]

Casey chuckled when Maria jumped into his teasing. then he rolled his eyes when Alex teased them back. He chuckled a bit then turned back to Maria who had agreed to let him have Davenport and that Halsey kid. He was also glad that the woman respected the answers given to her and didn't push for more. Casey was liking her even more now. When Alex kissed his temple, he smiled and leaned closer a bit and smiled at his alpha.

alex gave the instructions and Casey simply nodded. He would obey because Alex's plans sounded good. If he found a flaw, he would have pointed it out by now. Then he remembered that he had heard of Redferne and Beauclaire beefore. "You should watch out for Redferne though. I have heard a few things about him. charming, intelligent, the current Head of Ravenclaw House, and the second eldest of the Redferne family. A family so old that their children before the generation now were all strong and powerful. They always had remained neutral... until recently that is." Casey said then leaned back on his seat.

"Then there is Sylvanna Beauclaire... That woman terrifies me... She is... not all that she shows. She is like a shadow... whispers what should be done and controls everything withouth any backlash. She is ruthless and few only know that she used to have a family. But an incident happened and she just... lost it." Casey told the other two, not sure if they knew about them or not.

[Maria Antonette Boislevesque]

Maria chuckled along with Casey when Andrews had joked back. It was indeed amusing that in front of people, she did appear to be younger. "So amusing to think that between the three of us, people will indeed conclude that Alex is the eldest while Casey is simply tall. I appear as the youngest and if not for the 'others' here, everyone would be thinking that I am being talked into doing something... 'amusing' by two gorgeous men. The humans here envy you both for being with me while a few others envy me for being with you two here." she told them and laughed behind her hand. Humans were so funny.

The instructions were given and Maria nodded. She didn't put up a fuss when Andrews said that Casey would have the trainess. But then Casey spoke of two people Maria knew well. She nodded. "I agree. My charge has spoken to me about them both. the Head of House where I am staying at had shared that Beauclaire will be the Head of Slytherin House this coming opening while Redferne remains the Head of Ravenclaw. My charge has spoken that the man has already... charmed his students to do anything he asks of them and they follow without questions." she shared what she knew to them, hoping that it would help a bit. If Andrews planned to face the two Heads plus Burke, Andrews might end up biting more than he could chew.

As Andrews continued with the instructions, she listened and nodded from time to time. She instantly recalled everything and would be preparing for added 'hurdles' when the time came. When Andrews got to Draco, Maria narrowed her eyes a bit. "I know. It will be alright." she told him. Maria had no plans on bringing Draco at all. She would never let him die.

[Alex Dean Andrews]

Biting the corner of the inside of his mouth, he turned his head looking at Casey with a raised eyebrow. He was confused only for a second, before he smiled. Alex laughed, "Okay. Good to know." He didn't know much about Hogwarts teachers, but he knew enough. Once he got their wands, he was sure he could take them down. Sylvanna was learning wandless, but there no way she could have learned everything by then. "Once I get ahold of their wands, I'll be able to take them both. My worry is more on Burke though." He turned over to Maria, because Casey already knew about these worries. "He's another wolf I turned a few years ago. He's really in deep with this, but he had an accident recently."

Alex understood that Ben has been a death eater for a long time, but he was a wolf now. Alex had tried being the older man's friend, but Ben didn't want it. He normally brushed that off and it didn't really bother him until now. Alex needed him fighting with him now, but more than that, Alex needed to make sure Ben didn't have to go through his situation again. Understanding the wolf can't be controlled, the more repressed the wolf was, the angrier the wolf would become. "Before we do this, I'm gonna have to talk to him." If Alex can bring Ben to their side, they would have one more person.

"Once we get the house under control, you can train him there. There are woods surrounding the entire area, he won't be over whelmed." Alex corrected, knowing that Maria had been originally staying with the Malfoys in hiding, he only meant to explain that he would be safe once it was taken down. "Good?" Alex looked at the both of them, double checking his plans before they were official.
