Vincent watched with great amusement as Voldemort embarrassed Pettigrew immensely. Isabella, meanwhile, had lost her ability to hold in her laughter. A high-pitched giggle escaped from her lips as she stared at the depraved Pettigrew with glee.
He turned his attention once again to his Lord. "My Lord, I am sorry that my son could not have been here tonight. He is at school, and not expected home for break for another three days. However, he is trying to convince me to let him stay at Malfoy Manor. Of course, Draco will be going home to The Palace for his break."
He had tried, but failed to keep the sarcasm out of his voice. He gave the Dark Lord a nervous glance, hoping that he hadn't overstepped his boundaries. He had not thought that Voldemort may still find Lucius useful.

Voldemort glowered as Pettigrew put his wand back into his hand without making eye contact. He placed the wand back into his robes & began to eat some salad as he listened to Vincent.
"Oh no, that's fine Vincent." His eyebrows rose as he heard the mention of Draco & the Malfoys'. "I think that I would like to spend some time with little Vincent & Draco. Perhaps Lucius would see fit to let Draco stay here instead?"

Vincent was stunned by his lord's response. "What am I to tell my son and Draco my Lord? Should I tell them nothing..perhaps introduce you as a old family friend?" He thought that he must sound very stupid and juvenile, but Voldemort had really disarmed him with that statement. "Of course, I will send an owl to the Malfoy Estate immediately."
He picked up a piece of parchment as he whistled for his owl. He looked back up to Voldemort. "One more thing my Lord. What exactly should I tell Lucius? Should I tell him that you are here? I am afraid that if I do that, he will make some excuse as to why Draco cannot stay here."

Voldemort eyed Vincent for a moment. "Is that so now? And why should he wish to keep me from his son? Though I can't say that I'm surprised by such a statement, given his recent...movements." He drank deeply from his glass & pondered the question for a moment.
"Tell Lucius that I am staying with you & your wife. Tell him that I ask for your son & his come to stay here as well so I may become acquainted with them." He gave him a knowing smile. "Besides, if he tries to keep his son from me I can also get ahold of him via other means."

Vincent felt his breath catch in his throat for a moment. No! I will not falter!he thought to himself.
Picking up the quill, he penned the following:
He sealed the parchment, and tied it to the owls leg. "take this to Malfoy Manor with all haste".

Voldemort watched as Vincent sent his letter to Lucius. "Nice touch, telling him not to cause a scene, Vincent." He watched as the man realized that he had used Legilimens on him while he was penning the letter.

Vincent looked to the Dark Lord in surprise. Then, it hit him that he had used Legilimens.
"My Lord, I found it wise to tell him so..considering his past. Also, I omitted your name in the fear that the letter could fall into wrong hands. Lucius is not stupid, however. He will know very well who my "house guest" is.
He laughed in spite of himself. "I can just see how angry he will be when he realizes that you are staying with me, and not at Malfoy Manor."

****************
After about three hours, Vincent saw Lucius Malfoy's eagle owl fly into one of the open windows. It dropped a letter into Vincent's outstretched hand. He gave the owl a treat, and watched it fly away.
He opened the sealed parchment, and read its contents aloud so Voldemort could hear him.
He smiled and looked up to his master. "Well, he has not lost his common sense I see. He was smart enough to comply with your request."

Voldemort had been reclining & enjoying an after-dinner drink with the others when he also noticed the eagle owl fly into the room. "Quick...good," he said in a low voice. He listened & smiled as Vincent read the letter.
"Ah, good old Lucius. He just wouldn't be him without the snottiness now would he? Of course he obliged. It's not as though he has a choice, & I'm sure that he is aware of that fact," he said in a cold voice.

Vincent could not help but feel excited jubilation at seeing Voldemort show his distaste for Lucius. It was what he deserved after all..he ran, and tried to take me down with him.
"Yes my Lord..I agree with you completely. Lucius would not be Lucius without the attitude."

Staring deep into the blood redness of his firewhiskey, Voldemort smirked evilly. "Perhaps we should have Lucius himself over for a visit sometime duringthe break as well?" He looked up at Vincent , eyebrows slightly raised.

Vincent could not help but burst out laughing. "That would be a sight my Lord. Let the butt kissing begin."

Pettigrew looked up quickly with an axious smile as Voldemort began to laugh heartily. "I think that we'll have to do that, Vincent. I'd like to see just how much he feels that he needs to squirm in front of me. Why he would ever feel the need is beyond me. He, is afterall, one of my most loyal followers, isn't he?" He began to laugh once more & drank deeply from his glass.

Vincent released a low grunt..loyal follower..yeah right.. he thought. Noticing that Voldemort had looked up he stammered.
"Yes, he is supposedly still loyal."

*********OOC: time for break *laughs*
~Draco~
Having come from the Hog's Head, Draco came down the floo in the living room. Stepping out of the floo, and dusting himself off, he looked around. Not seeing anyone, he decided to sit down on one of the sofas and wait.
There was a noise as Crabbe arrived behind him. He stepped out and dusted himself off as well. Draco watched as Crabbe missed dirt on his sleeves. He smacked his lips. "Crabbe, go tell your parents or whatever that we are here." As Crabbe ran off, Draco began to snoop through the book on the coffee table. "Modern Muggle Hunting Techniques". Draco smiled with approval and waited for Crabbe to return with someone.
