Death Eater Meeting; Lucius Malfoy Presiding

OOC NOTES:

This is the first meeting of the Death Eaters after the Summer Attack on Hogwarts. It is taking place on the evening of September 15 2020.

I opened this thread on September 10. I'm going to post again next Thursday to start the meeting, so you have plenty of time for your character to turn up. The start of the meeting has been pushed back to Sunday

This thread is not taking place on the grounds of the Malfoy Manor because of the new Fidelus Charm. It is being held in the orchard of a muggle farmer who lives nearby. Please don't kill the farmer.



Despite his pretensions, Lucius Malfoy was never the sort of man who would have liked to be accused of wizardry by muggles. Muggle ideas of magic were confined to childish illusions and phantasmagoria, or else to parlour tricks that real witches and wizards would never dream of undertaking, let alone being proud of accomplishing. Thus, it was with some disdain that he found himself striding across the fields of his property under the cold light of the moon and looking almost exactly like the wizard from some muggle child's fairytale.

Emof, of course, was the cause of all this. Rather than holding a meeting in the comfort of his own house, or in any comfort at all, Lucius had recently had cause to cast a powerful charm over his home, which had the inconvenient side effect of preventing any of his former associates from arriving there without a formal invitation. And given their sudden change of fortunes, he had decided it was wisest if the secret was kept with Narcissa rather than himself. Not only would their enemies assume that he was the secret-keeper, but his wife was much less likely to be in the direct line of fire should things ever come to that.

And all that had led to this. A meeting of the Death Eaters being held in a muggle farmer's orchard. If nothing else, Lucius could at least relax safe in the knowledge that no auror or hit wizard was ever likely to have predicted this. Closing the wooden gate behind him, Lucius found himself surrounded by trees. It was just like the old days in forests and abandoned buildings and graveyards. Never anywhere to sit.

Carefully, he rolled back the sleeve of his robe and applied the tip of his wand to the mark on the inside of his arm. As he silently cast the spell, the shape of the tattoo writhed as though the serpent it portrayed only remained there because the force of the wand pinned it to his skin.

Matt imediatly Apparated to the spot.
"hello Lucius"he said. "another Meeting?"

Godric had found a way out of the school fairly easily when his mark started to call. He apparated to the spot with no difficulty. He looked at the two standing beneath the trees but remained silent.

Hafiz was at school when his wrist began to hurt. He can feel the serpent were moving in his hands. Yet, he smilled and apparated to the orchad. As he arrived, he can feel the chill until to the bone marrow. But he was used to that. He slowly approached to the three figure across a sweet scented fruit. He saw his professor, his friend and another person which he believe to be Lucious Malfoy. He smilled to them, rather an evil smile as he knew that is the 'signature smile of a Death Eater.

There was a crack as Lyra arrived in the orchard wearing a thin satin robe. She'd been in the middle of having a bath when a burning sensation had spread through her left arm and she didn't need to look down to know that the dark mark etched into her flesh was the cause.

She'd had barely time to throw on a gown and cast an incarcerous charm on Morgiana before she left. Now, walking between the trees to reach the gathering, she pushed all thoughts of her sister to the back of her mind and tried to concentrate on the elation of someone finally doing something about this situation.

Vincent entered the room, seeing as it was all quiet, he assumed the meeting hadn't started yet. He entered silently and sat down on an empty chair - waiting for the meeting to start.

Scorpius entered the room, scared. He had felt his mark burning, and couldn't understand - was Voldemort back? Looking around the room, it didn't seem so only his grandfather and several other death eaters. He wanted to run, but was too scared. So he sat down on a chair which was as far as possible from his grandfather.

After a long time, Jasper decided that he needed to make an appearance at the Manor. So he did just that. To his suprise there was a meeting taking place. He slowing walked into the manor and saw the few others who were standing around. He wasn't sure what was going on. He had been out of town for a very long time.

Darren entered the small house and walked towards the room where a couple death eaters were sitting. Passing a man on the way, he sneered at him, he was no doubt a pathetic muggle. As he entered the room, he looked around quickly at everyone there, he recognized them all - he had been a death eater himself until a while ago. His eyes ran over Lucius Malfoy, no doubt the new head of the Death Eaters. He sneered again, it was such a pathetic scene, a gathering of a group of fanatics and people who were too scared to turn away from Voldemort. He sat down at a corner by himself.
