Being a house cat .:open to Death Eaters:.

“Well at least you’ve thought that out.” Benjamin shrugged when Alex told him that this Casey was going to deal with the politics. Beauclaire had told him a little about the relationship between Alex and his mate. How that woman knew all that stuff, he didn’t know. Still he couldn’t care less with whom Andrews shared his bed. Casey may be a muggleborn, but everything was better than Alex trying to get involved in such things. It would only turn out like a disaster.

Benjamin growled a little at the way Andrews said things. But that didn’t take away the fact that it was the truth, they were taking orders from a kid who knew nothing of the world. “I see your point.” He answered shortly. When Andrews asked what they had done Burke shrugged. “Not much. I’ve been a teacher, which was nice. But we’ve achieved nothing of our goals.” He sighed, losing more faith in what they were doing every minute.

Not giving a yes or no directly he pointed at the cabinet which was way too big for this room. “Take what you need, read before using or ask me what it does and how it has to be consumed.” There were various potions which could have influence on the outcome of this all. With this he knew he already betrayed the last human who trusted him, the young lord must be so disappointed in him. “I won’t fight against you, I want to see if the young lord can prove his value. Because I have no more faith in this suicide mission.” If this was the best decision, he didn’t know. But he was sick of playing a loyal lapdog when nothing came in return.

“The thing is, even when the ministry might not want my head on a plate. If I leave here, betray everyone here, there are going to be some pisse off death eaters who do.” He whispered, even when he had a runic field of silence in this room. Was it worth a try? Things probably either resulted in a better life or death.

A painful chuckle escaped his mouth and he shook his head. “I appreciate your offer but even when I am save, Isa will never allow it. Still I’m glad to hear that there are families when this being is not a problem. We come from different places, Andrews. I can’t blame her, I’d probably have done the same, the way both Isa and I were raised.”

As the subject turned back to the rebel against the death eaters, Ben finished his glass. “Right now I have my potions to offer. When the day comes, I’ll probably notice it. Then I’ll decide. Because when I leave, I have no place to go.”

"Yeah, no. Politics isn't my strength, I'm sure I'll know more then I need to by the time we get to that part of this. But it's not directed with me." The sentence was said causally, Casey was like a walking-talking-breathing encyclopedia, the stereotypical type of Ravenclaw. Alex would let Casey handle his own strengths which was books and knowledge, with Alex behind him in helping work with people, and Alex himself doing any of the dirty work, then he had no worry of if Casey was up for this job or not.

Why was it everyone wanted to be in school so much? That was one thing Alex never missed, never since the day he graduated Hogwarts had he ever wanted to go back. Casey studied in his free time, his kids couldn't wait to go, Jason was learning about the auror crap still, and Ben wants to be a teacher. "Why does everyone miss that school so much?" Alex didn't understand that at all. "If you want to go back to Hogwarts after this, go ahead. I don't care, students and parents will just have to get over it. Just as well as the rest of the world with how things are going to change." Alex truly didn't care where Ben went after this, but he hoped the man would get over his hate. While Alex didn't think he would have that amount of forgiveness in his own heart, he hoped that he was able to fix it with what he's offering now.

Alex was relieved, as soon as Ben said he wouldn't fight against him, it was a huge worry that Alex didn't have anymore. If he didn't need to worry about Ben's next move, then he could go ahead and plan further ahead. That would limit the death eaters that Alex would be going again, Casey would be dealing the trainees, Maria had Donovan, and Alex had the two teachers. But even then, they were building still, there were two death eater faces he had seen a few times around here, but he wasn't sure how to measure them. Bellatrix was known for being uncontrolled and then there was a male who Alex wasn't familiar with at all.

Turning his head to the cabinet, "Brew the potion. But don't drink it, it's not for you. After you do, I'll tell you what to do with it." Alex would let the man simmer, he didn't want to over load him with information only for Ben to change his mind. There was always the possibility of the older man lying to him in the first place, but he didn't think that with what Alex was saying he could and will do, that Ben would turn his back on him.

Frowning, Alex nodded, yes, the Death Eater would be coming after them. But after that, Alex planned on building from there or turning the Death Eaters who remained. He wasn't worried about them too much right now, once they took down this house and the Death Eaters inside it, that was the main source. Everything will just fall apart after that. No leader, no base, no growth. Just a like a tree, it can't grow with roots and soil. Donovan is the only root right now and headquarters is the soil, the Death Eaters won't be able to continue with neither.

Snorting, "Isa is a just a human. After this, you'll have more power then she ever will. Don't think for a second that if you want your daughter, you can't have her." Alex didn't understand how Benjamin even attempted to stand for this, how he let them keep him from his own blood. Alex would have caused hell for Lynn if even threatened to take his kids from him, ever. "If you choose right, I have a place you can stay." What Alex didn't say was the place Benjamin could stay was a guest room in his own home. Casey is going to kill me.
