Lucius' Office[7]

[Annalessa Bordon]

*Raising a brow, Annalessa remained silent for a moment. Her eyes narrowed slightly as she wait for him to continue*

[Lucius Malfoy]

Now I know that our families have known each other for some time, so you are welcome to greet me in the street.

But under no circumstance is it acceptable to speak of dealings with the Dark Lord in public.

*He crosses his arms.*

That is your first lesson.

[Annalessa Bordon]

*Taking his words to heart, Annalessa nodded in understanding* Of course at the time, she had thought she was being careful. But Mr. Malfoy was right. One slip up, could end it all.

*Finding it best to remain silent, while he was speaking- Annalessa only stared, waiting for him to continue.*

[Lucius Malfoy]

I assume that you have come to me for training as our families are acquainted.

You understand that if I am to take you under my wing, then we will have to operate incredibly subtly.

I would not like for my colleagues to lose their newfound trust in me.

[Annalessa Bordon]

"Of course not, sir." Annalessa was well aware that a reputation like Mr. Malfoy's, wasn't something one was just born with. Still all she was concerned with, was her own destiny. There wasn't many people, Annalessa respected; Mr. Malfoy was one of the rare few. But damned if anyone got in her way, and stopped her from becoming what she was always meant to be.

*Keeping her face void of emotion, Annalessa wait for Mr. Malfoy to finish.*

[Lucius Malfoy]

So. Miss Bordon.

What skills would you say you could impress the Dark Lord with?

[Annalessa Bordon]

"I excel at dueling, sir. Quick reflexes as well. But at the moment, I'm not so foolish, to think I'm even near what the Dark Lord would consider ' Impressive. ' Which is why I've come to you for training, Mr. Malfoy. I'm a quick learner, and un afraid of coming face to face with death- when it comes to fighting for our cause." *Annalessa frowned lightly*

[Lucius Malfoy]

*He raised a brow again.*

And what exactly, would you say that our cause is?

[Annalessa Bordon]

"Ridding the world, of the filth that currently rots it- along with blood traitors. Only the purest blood shall thrive, under the rule of the Dark Lord." *Annalessa smirked, sinisterly* "Those who oppose, shall perish."

*A maniacal gleam, surfaced within Annalessa's eyes* "I'd assumed, you felt the same way, Mr. Malfoy. With all respect, of course."

[Lucius Malfoy]

An answer that the Dark Lord would be pleased to hear I am sure.

*He rises from his seat and paces towards her.*

To my ears it sounds rather like you have been trained to give it.

Tell me. Is it truly what you desire?

Could you take the life of another?

[Annalessa Bordon]

“I’m not naïve sir, if that’s what you’re mistaking me for. I’m no longer under the rule of my parents, and I’m old enough to know what I want.” *Annalessa scowled.* “I wouldn’t be here, if I didn’t want to be. I know all about Deatheaters, and what they do…I’ve seen what they do.”

She wouldn’t allow the awful memories to surface, but Annalessa was being truthful. She’d seen far too many things, things no one should have to see. But the damage had already been done, and her mind was made up. "I can do whatever is asked of me. That's a promise I'll take to the grave."

[Lucius Malfoy]

*He paces around her, sizing her up before getting back to his seat and making himself comfortable again.*

Good.

I do believe that I will need some proof of your determination.

*He stops to think of what task he could set her.*

*At the moment all he could think of was getting some recompense for the mess his Manor had been left in.*

*That would require her attacking other Death Eaters, but Lucius was sure that the Dark Lord would not be opposed to that.*

*One character specifically had caused him displeasure, and he was the one that he wanted to suffer.*

This will be a challenge Miss Bordon. And I hope that you are up for it. Failure could be fatal.

Track down Fenrir Greyback and forcefully take from him a lock of his fur.

[Annalessa Bordon]

*Annaless considred the task, then frowned* "But isn't he on the side of the Dark Lord?" She was confused as to why Mr Malfoy would want her attacking fellow Deatheaters. It made her very suspiciouse, it was all a trap. Aside from that, she knew nothing of the disgusting creature, and had no idea where to start looking.

"How would I get a lock of his fur, unless he were to transform?" Annalessa had a bad feeling, she would have to end up provoking Greyback. Which wasn't an idea that settled well with her.

[Lucius Malfoy]

*He began to wonder whether the task he had set was too ambitious for a beginner.*

The Dark Lord appreciates strength.

He knows well of Greyback's reputation and for someone to confront him and come out successful would be quite impressive to him. It will not concern him that he is one of his followers.

It would allow me to take you before him and present you to him as a potential follower.

*He did not wish to mention the murder he had witnessed at his manor and how it had affected him.*

Also, on my part, it would not do for me to be sending you on missions to attack my co-workers at the Ministry now would it?

If you are to be working with me, then I will expect for you to keep a public image befitting of someone loyal to Scrimgeour.

If that does not suit you, then I should be able to arrange for someone to take over your training, once you have completed this task for me.

*He knew that the task would be difficult, and decided he should give her some leeway.*

If you have any friends who have similar ambitions to those of your own, then I permit you to enlist their help with this.

[Annalessa Bordon]

He seemed to be offering a lot for one task. And Annalessa was beginning to think, he just didn't want to put in the work to train her. It also seemed very suspicious, Mr. Malfoy would send her after Greyback of all people, with no training what so ever. Annalessa had meant her earlier words at the time. She could do anything that was asked. But perhaps ' anything ' was a bit much to offer at this early stage. The whole idea, seemed rather careless and thought up on a whim. Which she didn't like the thought of, at all.

"Hmm." *She narrowed her eyes at Mr. Malfoy* "Forgive me, Sir...but I don't think this task is fitting of me, without proper training first. I think I shall find someone else to train me, you won't have to go through the trouble of looking. I can manage, and I've wasted enough of your time."

*Backing away, Annalessa prepared to dissapparate* "Thank you for at least considering me, Sir. Until next time." *With those words, she dissapparated*
