"I'm not jealous! Who would I have to be jealous of? You? That Claudia woman? Ha!" Bellatrix pulled away from Charles' grasp and stared coldly at him. In her anger she seemed to grow a few inches. "You were lucky to come across that trinket. Knowing you, you probably didn't do much at all," she hissed at him. With a dark chuckle she continued letting out her anger on him. "Where you pissed when you stumbled across it? Of course you were, you are always getting pissed aren't you? You're nothing more than a drunkard who's gotten lucky. One too many times by my count." She added that last part under her breath, as it was really more of a thought that slipped out.

Charles laughed. Instead of being angry or insulted, he found he was still excited by the beautiful young woman in front of him. "It so happens I was stone cold sober when I found it. And have been all week. In my search for the Dark Lord's precious bauble, I've been re-invigorated. I won't deny it was a bit of a lucky break to have come across it, but I was able to con it out of one of my contacts using my considerable charms... as I recall, you once fell victim to those charms as well. I am most disappointed to have lost your favor, poppet."

"Your charms? Don't be ridiculous." She didn't really know why, at this moment, she had been so easily wooed by this man. There were obvious reasons, his good looks, and Rodolphus' ever growing number of holidays without her. But she would be damned before she let Charles win this argument. She had to win something afterall.
She looked him over, trying to figure out why she had taken him to her room before. "So you're sober now then? Perhaps it's not you who has the charms, but it is the liquor you consume."

Charles laughed again. "Ah, perhaps you may be right," he said agreeably. "Your tongue is as sharp as your mind, love. Yet you're lovely when you're angry." The child in his arms began to fuss. "Hush, now," he said to the babe, shifting him in his arms.

Bella, though still angry, was beginning to soften after all his compliments. She always was one for pretty words, something she would have to work on in the future if she wanted to get ahead in this world. If it hadn't been for the infant sounding his presence, she might have kissed Charles right there. They were practically alone, it's not as if it would have gotten back to Rodolphus. But the child must have sensed her weakness because as it began to fuss Bella turned a snear on it. "Stop by the Three Broomsticks once you've freed yourself of that annoying thing." She gestured flippantly to the child before turning, gathering her things from the couch, and heading for the door.

Charles hid a grin. He knew that the compliments were hard for her to resist, but he also knew better than to push his luck than to let on to her that he knew he had won. "It would be my pleasure, love," he replied. "I'll see you later, then." He shifted the babe in his arms again and hoped that Voldemort would return soon so they could take Conor to his new location.

Voldemort walked into the parlor and took the child from Charles, "I have some business to discuss with my other loyal followers," Voldemort looked thoughtful a moment and said " do something to amuse yourself while I finish this, then your new role at my side will be explained in detail later." he said turning with the cringing child in his cold hands.

"All right, then," Charles said, feeling slightly annoyed that the baby had been taken from him. He mumbled something about catching up with Bellatrix, then hurried out of the headquarters to send a message to Isabella.

Voldemort walked back into another of his sitting rooms and waved for Claudia to follow him as he passed her.

Claudia immediately followed her master without question. She barely even looked in Charles's direction, but was secretly pleased that he had been so quickly dismissed.

Voldemort sat down at his usual place, he gracefully pulled the heavy locket from his robes "You must place this in a safe place my loyal deatheater, the cave in which it will be place isn't finished yet, I need more bodies and a potions master, then it will be ready." he said thoughtfully "But remember should anything happen to this, you will have to suffer the price. Am I understood?" he asked looking up from his locket to look into the eyes of his follower.

"Of course, my lord," Claudia said. "I will defend it with my life, if necessary. Shall I fetch a potions master for you? I coould probably find that fat fool, Slughorn and imperious him for you, my lord. Whatever you wish me to do, I will do so gladly." She bowed in a most obsequious fashion.

"Slughorn, He's a professor now, no he's far to afraid of my power to be willing, and too deep in Dumbledore's pocket. I need a wizard that knows a great deal of the most forbidden potions. It will be your task to search for one that suits my needs..." he said levitating the locket toward Claudia. "Be sure he's worth the effort to find, and if you do try for Slughorn, make sure it doesn't lead to you. I have this population where I want it, once the embers of rebellion die. it will all be in my grasp." he said closing his left fist.

"I will do as you wish, my lord," Claudia replied, taking the locket. "I live only to serve you." She bowed again, and started for the door. She quickly scanned her brain to think of anyone she knew with such great powers of potions.

Voldemort rose from his seat and made his way with the child to fetch Charles.
