"The traitor's child, a gift from another loyal follower...I need you Charles, to move the child from this manor, and find a new wet nurse for him, it seems the child is refusing this one's milk, and more so, shes not long for this world anymore." Voldemort beckoned the woman out of the room, she shuffled almost lifelessly out into the hall. "Meanwhile, I'll have Claudia and Bella take care of this for me. " he smiled evily as he laid a hand over the locket in his left breast pocket. Almost as if he had a heart, he thought wickedly.

Charles remained expressionless. "I will do as you ask, my Lord," he said in an obsequious tone, bowing slightly. "Do you have a location in mind to move the child?"

"Yes in fact, Take the child from the woman, I want to take you there...myself." he said ominously. His old family's home would do nicely as the new and terrible abode for his traitor's child. It was perfect: dark, desolate, and full of ancient despair. the child would languish there for a long time. "Bring him down to the parlor again, I want to give Bella her new assignment...and for my new recruit, to send her expecting a new meeting." he said his eyes still showing a cold mirth.

"I will do as you ask, my Lord," said Charles. He walked over to the frail-looking woman and roughly snatched the baby from her arms, shoving her brutally aside as if she were nothing more than an old broom. Then he bowed quickly at the Dark Lord before heading toward the stairs.

Voldemort walked to his private room and wrote an owl to Claudia, summoning her immediately to the manor for her next assignment. He transfigured a black owl from a sheet of vellum, tying the note to the bird he sent it on it's way, this enchanted creature should summon her quickly. Voldemort sweep from his rooms and walked back to the parlor to await both Claudia and send the other girl away.

Claudia was just sitting down to dinner, exquistely prepared duck in orange sauce, with a side of roasted vegetables and jasmine rice, when the enchanted black owl flew right through the window of her indoor sunroom as if it wasn't there at all. The owl landed on her arm and insistently poked at her fingers with its sharp beak. Setting down her fork with a sigh, she picked up the bird and detached the letter from its leg. Instantly, the bird disappeared in a puff of black smoke. Claudia read the letter and stood up abruptly. "Chippy!" She yelled to the nearest house elf. She didn't care if this one was really Chippy or not, they all knew to answer, no matter what she called them. "Dispose of this food immediately. I need to go out, and I don't know when I will be back. Make sure the house is spotless when I return. Go!" She clapped her hands sharply. Then she strode over to the nearest mirror to inspect her appearance. She couldn't be anything less than perfect for her Lord.
Finding her appearance somewhat lacking, she waved her wand over herself, changing her blue silk robe into a short black one with a deep V in the back. Her hair was perfectly curled and shiny, and her skin perfectly smooth and white. As a finishing touch, she added a touch of bright red lipstick. Satisfied at last, she smiled wickedly, then apparated.
She arrived near the abandoned mansion they were using as the headquarters, and easily made her way through the protective wards and into the house. Finding her master in his parlor, she bowed before him. "You summoned me, my Lord?"

"Yes I did, I have a special task for you." he took his locket from his breast pocket, holding it out to her. "I want you to take this, my treasure, to it's trove." he said floating the locket toward her. "I will not accompany you, I will be dealing with this, and Charles will help me with that, of course, That means you," he said pointing to Tai, "Will have to meet with me again at our next meeting." he said turning to Charles "You and I leave within the hour, I have something to prepare." he said sweeping dramatically out of the room.

"You have recovered it!" Claudia marvelled, holding the heavy locket in her hands and twining the fine gold chain around her long, thin fingers. She cast a jealous glance at Charles--clearly he had found it, and was now being treated with the honor that should have been hers. How had the drunken sod managed to find it? Her eyes flashed for a fleeting second, then she regained her composure and turned back to her Lord. "I will do as you ask, my Lord," she said, bowing deeply, displaying the open back of her gown. She straightened and turned to leave.

Tai pouted, but she nodded to her new lord and stood up as she was dismissed. She looked at the small baby in the blond man's arms, "Aw, he's a little one!" she cooed and looked up into the icy blue eyes of the man that held the child.

Charles stared back at the woman, now certain that she was Voltaire's little friend. "Yeah, whatever," he said apathetically. "I'm just following the Dark Lord's orders."

Tai smiled up at him, "Aww so why so glum? Don't you enjoy the orders?" she flirted with him, she batted her lashes at him swaying her hips as she stepped back from him, sizing him up, he was attractive in a slim way, dangerous, quick to hex she noted as well.

"I take my orders seriously," Charles lied. He was getting a hint of danger from her, as if she was trying to test him. He moved his arms and raised the baby a little higher. "Haven't you been dismissed, love?"

"Mayhaps." she said winking at him, but mentally frowning that she couldn't get a better look at the babe. "Well then, Where will you be going with the bundle of nerves?" she smiled at him leaning toward him.

Charles narrowed his eyes at her. She was fishing for information. And she was hardly subtle about it. "I'm going where ever the Dark Lord takes me, love. He's leading the way."

She giggled at him, bouncing up and down as she did so. she placed a finger to her red lips and tapped the tall blond on the cheek, leaving a kiss shaped mark on him. " I like that name. Well this love will be off!" she said with another bounce she walked out of manor and back to Voltaire.

Charles watched her go, feeling slightly softened towards her. She certainly had her charms, obvious though they were. She still didn't compare to Isabella, but he could at least see some of the appeal. He whispered a comforting word to the child and awaited the Dark Lord's return.

Bellatrix sat entranced by the scene that played out in front of her. Charles had found the locket and was given a special assignment with the infant -- and though she detested the child she thought it only fair that it be she who had any interaction with the babe, after all she was the one who had stolen him. Claudia had been summoned and given a chance to hold that ugly old necklace while she put it wherever it was that the Dark Lord instructed. And Tai Lee had been sent home with the promise of another meeting.
And what of Bella? He had simply overlooked her. She had stolen that child from a professor's office! While still fairly new she had recruited a lovely new member for Him! And what thanks does she get? Overlooked for trashy people who, in any other social situation, would be beneath her.She had to find some way to regain his favor.
Angrily she stood from her seat and moved closer to Charles, who smelled like Tai Lee's perfume. Her eyes narrowed on his as she looked him over. At this moment she couldn't see why she had slept with him. He didn't look particularly handsome and there was something about him right now that made him less threatening than a teddy bear. Perhaps it was the infant in his hands.
"You couldn't have waited even a few more minutes before barging in here? We were in the middle of something." Bella's voice was somewhere between angry and hurt.

Charles cocked his eyebrow at her curiously, noting the jealousy and disdain in her voice. "Oh, beg your pardon, love," he said sarcastically. He shifted slightly to hold the baby away from him a bit more, to look as though he had no interest in the child. "I rather thought that this was of the utmost importance to the Dark Lord. He said as much in our meeting, if you'll recall. As soon as we found it, we were to bring it right to him. I would not have interrupted for anything less."

"Yes, I'm aware of that but -" She didn't really have a 'but', he was right. But that didn't take away the hurt she was feeling. She looked crossly at him and folded her arms across her chest. The baby cooed and she rolled her eyes and looked away from it and Charles.

Charles shifted again, holding the baby awkwardly with one hand, while reaching out with the other to take one of her black curls in between his two fingers. "Ah, come on, love. He hasn't forgotten about you. I'm sure he's got something very important planned for you. But you are cute when you're jealous." He winked at her.
