Cat's Out of The Bag :Benjamin:

Nodding, slightly disappointing but not at all shocked, Donovan had been wanting to learn the act of speechless magic for a long time, but he would not push for something that was not bound to happen. Burke was the only man he knew could do such things, he was teaching Sylvanna wandless magic in slow motions now, but he wanted to learn as much as he could. "I want to learn, I'm teaching Sylvanna wandless magic, she's learning quiet well actually, faster than I expected in the least. I was going to teach you and Davion, but situation seems as it is, that will need time to do so. You need time to gather yourself...But don't show Andrews. Teach him to be better but not to through spells with his mind." Donovan looked Burke, for his own petty reasons, not wanting another person to bi-pass him.

Raising both eyebrows at that point, "You think it would be wise for you to run around in your wolf form without your potion, in the woods that my Death Eaters come and go in?" Donovan echoed back to the older man, were they not standing here talking because of an accident that happen with Burke and one his Death Eaters? In what way would it be wise to set the same situation for the same thing to happen over again? Narrowing his eyes after that, "Have you not learned from your previous mistake that you should not be around others while not in this form!? As everything we've talked about been going through your head?" This angered the young Lord over again, what would be the point in this conversation if Burke couldn't realize what the mistakes made before were?

"There opinions to not bloody matter, if they can't defend themselves or attack, then get rid of them. What use do I, do any of us have if they aren't fighters? If they are still hiding behind others?" Donovan could care less if the trainees didn't like it, Donovan didn't like them, they didn't listen and they didn't do much right, so if they got picky and fought him against this, Donovan would have his own word with them. "If they refuse, direct them with me, or handle the bloody situation. You may have a wolf form, but you aren't a pet, act like a man and tell them what is what. Do I need to walk you through what to do to if your student disrespects you? Were you not a teacher?" Glaring once again, he couldn't understand why the smallest things were so hard. Maybe he should just train the trainees, but Donovan was out finding people on his own. He didn't know, his father was much better at this than he was.

"If you ever, ever make the same mistake, I will oblivate you and I will turn you in. I will not deal with you nor will I give you a peaceful death, you are not going to do it again, you will figure out a way to control it or you will have to deal with the consequences." Donovan knew the ministry was not against caging dangerous wolves, or even 'putting them down' Donovan was already giving the elder man a second chance, with this incident scott free. Why should he do it again?

Benjamin waited in the doorpost, supporting himself to prevent collapsing. His vision wasn’t clear at all anymore and his head felt heavy and hurt. Still he wouldn’t completely leave until the young lord was done with him or until he got an approved solution for everything. “Don’t worry, sir. It won’t take long. Just a few days of meditating and clearing my mind. Perhaps you could also start with that. Try to reach the state of pure calmness. Once we both control our minds, I’ll take the further steps with you. Also a little warning, wandless and speechless have never been used together. It’s impossible because they’re exactly the opposite of each other. A person can master both but using both for the same spell has never happened before.” He said and then there appeared something close to a grin on his face. “Sir, I can assure you that even if I wanted to teach Andrews, he won’t be capable of it. Both because his mind is that of a dangerous child and he simply lack the magical skills.”

When Donovan’s face turned again, Benjamin was a little shocked but not surprised. His face turned down in embarrassment for bringing up such a reckless idea. “I’m sorry sir. I’m not completely clear minded right now. The things I come up with don’t even make sense to me at this point.” His mind was like a sponge and he wondered if he would remember everything the next day. “So what do you say? How can I deal best with this? I can’t rely on the potion anymore, we all know what happened last time the potion didn’t work. And travelling in public each month to a place and back here can be picked up by the ministry. How am I supposed to solve this?” There was a light panic in his voice. There weren’t many options. He didn’t want to harm anyone again, not when he wasn’t in control and he decide what he was doing. Because hurting people had been nothing new. Still friends shouldn’t be harmed. Too bad for him that he didn’t have any friends left. Just his fellow Death Eaters but he couldn’t really call them friends. “How does Andrews do it each time? Or do people get harmed around him?”

As he was told about what to do with the trainees, Ben nodded. “I’ll take care of it, you’re already busy enough, my lord.” He said, hoping that it wouldn’t be needed. However he couldn’t disappoint his lord anymore. The trainees had to become fighters of value and he didn’t care anymore about how this was achieved. The hard way had opened and they just would have to deal with that. To what Donovan asked him next, he could not help but chuckle painfully. “I’ve been many things, sir. There was once a time when I didn’t take orders from younger people. There once was a time when I could exactly plan how things would go in missions. I was powerful and completely in control. I had a wife and we had a daughter, I was trusted by the Dark Lord, one of his most valued minions. I used to be the expert when it came to gaining information about the enemy and placing traps. Now I don’t know who or what I am anymore.” He mumbled more to himself than he was talking to his new lord. There was a faint look if insanity on his face as he thought back about the past. He just hoped that Donovan wouldn’t comment to it. Azkaban had been a setback but it didn’t destroy him. It had been Andrews who ripped his life apart. One day he’d get his revenge even when Benjamin wasn’t the kind of person to take revenge. It was not like he wanted to destroy everything for Andrews just let him know for one day how much he was forced to give up because of what happened.

The young lord’s final warning was clear. Still he feared that at this point he didn’t know how to control it. The chance was big that he had to turn to Andrews for help but that’d ruin the last part of his pride. He’d never let Andrews have his way. He wasn’t part of a pack, he didn’t belong in that world. "Is there anything else you need me for?" He asked indirectly if he was allowed to leave for he wondered how much longer his legs could carry him.

Donovan nodded, wandless magic was hard enough to master, he didn't think he would be able to combine the arts together in anyway. It would be useful to use though in a duel, speechless magic would help so the person being dueled would never even know what was happening, until the spell was hurling across towards them. Normally by then it would be too late. Wandless magic was just as useful, there was no need for waiting in those split seconds you need to use your wand, wandless magic was the second to speak and focus. Donovan could honestly say that was his best accomplishment, mastering wandless magic. "I understand, I'll be sure to get on that. I was to speed it up as much this can, but you need to worry more about yourself, I can't do anything with you if you're unwell." Donovan wasn't sure if he was concerned or if he really just want the older man to heal so he could be of use again, in the end, it mattered very little. Snorting, Donovan debated for the umpteenth time of if he should put Andews and Burke in a room and let them sort out their business.

Stuck on what to do with the wolf part of the man, he didn't know what he could do. The ministry was looking for a werewolf, but the wolf identity was unknown for the time being, but there were for sure on the look out for unregistered wolves in the areas because of the child that was apart of the attack. Making a small hum noise to himself as he began to think, he looked Burke over, "Travel with Andrews, he's not registered either, but traveling as one group will already cross the three of you off the ministry's list if the two of you were caught. They'll be looking for..eh..lone wolf. The two of you will be odd enough, but it won't draw more attention than necessary." The words sounded strange to Donovan, they felt much more strange to speak like that about a person. Burke was a man, as far as Donovan could see in the least, he had never seen Burke's wolf form. As for if people got harmed, the young Lord wasn't sure, he knew that Burke was turned by the man, but if there were any other accidents, he wasn't aware of. "If anyone else has gotten hurt, then Andrews knows how to cover his tracks. I've never heard of anyone else, other than you."

And really, that was the entire point, Donovan could careless if Andrews had killed a thousand people, so long as the tracks didn't leak back to him and headquarters. Nodding, in the least if he couldn't send Burke out on missions, than he could put him to use inside of Headquarters. "I hope you don't think of yourself as just a minion." It was all Donovan had to say about that, he didn't understand people who thought lowly of themselves, he only thought himself not as good as his father, but he still knew his strengths. His wanting to help Burke was not something Donovan wanted to get comfortable with, but in the end, isn't that how loyalty was built? When people worked together as a team to build something? Donovan was teaching Syl how to do wandless magic, she was the most trusted person he had right now. He was willing to give Burke shelter, food, and wait until he was healed before he sent him out for help. The trainees never once expressed a troubled situation, even though he's sensed something going on, Donovan was sure it had nothing to do with him personally. "I know you don't like Andrews and you have been around here due to the situation at hand, but there's something going on with him and the trainees, do you know what's going on? I'm not sure if I should be concerned or not."

Not wanting to skip over something important, in case there was something going that he needed to know about, Donovan asked the person who was next to responsible for the trainees. He finally shook his head, no there was nothing more he needed, "No, if you find anything strange going on, that I might not have heard of, come talk to me." Donovan wasn't sure of what was going on with his lower ranks, but he wanted to know. Looking over Burke's figure once again, he saw the struggle to stand, he would let the man be now, not wanting to prolong the conversation any longer. "Goodnight Burke."
