Cell 4: Erupttat

[Baron Papanoida]

*The Baron, flanked by a dozen law enforcers, led the captive Erupttat to his cell in the lower chambers of the Ministry. Erupttat had been bound with multiple ropes from Incarcerous curses, but seemed to put up little fight after his capture.*

*Crabbe and Goyle had already been placed into their own cells, and Erupttat was the final hostage to be put away.*

*The Baron prodded the creature with his wand signalling him to step inside his new home.*

[Peon Erupttat]

*He obediently went along with his captors wishes. He had no fear that he could escape with ease should he try to, but it was possible that by biding his time here, he may be able to make himself more useful. Destruction was his greatest skill, but destruction is not always necessarily a physical act.*

*He sat himself on his bed, stony faced while the cell door closed behind him.*

[Baron Papanoida]

*He waved his wand to release the brute from his bonds.*

Someone will be along to talk to you soon.

*With that, he left, heading back towards his office, gesturing the law enforcement team to get back to their own duties.*

[Venus Tamwell]

Venus wasn't used to going down into the lower levels of the Ministry but today was her lucky day. Her hair had gone back to it's mousy brown for the time being, her appearance back to before her days as a spy. She pulled her cloak tight about her, gripping her wand underneath and headed for the cell Papanoida had instructed her to go to.

"Cell four, Containing one Eurpttat."

Her eyes had been down on the paper before her, and when she looked up into the cell she could feel the color leaving her face.

[Peon Erupttat]

*He sat in silent contemplation, staring intently at the wall in front of him as though trying to break through it with his gaze. He cared little for the fact that he was a prisoner. He had allowed it. He knew that in the end, it would end up badly for those who took him captive.*

*A witch approached, his eyes moved to see her but his pose stayed rigid.*

[Lucius Malfoy]

*He arrived in the detention area, having first retrieved the captured Death Eaters wands and secreted them in his coat.*

*Upon arrival he noticed that an Auror had come to question Erupttat, the very man he had come to see himself. He would have to get rid of her subtly before he could go on.*

*He approached the woman, and recognised her.*

Ah, Miss Tamwell. Greetings. What brings you to this dark corner of the Ministry?

[Venus Tamwell]

*Her eyes shifted from the creature in front of her to the man who spoke. Her eyes softened a little when she recognized the man as Lucius Malfoy. Nodding her head, she spoke softly.*

I was...sent down here to question this...man. No one else wanted the job so I was stuck with it.

*She swallowed hard, turning back to the thing in the cell.*

[Peon Erupttat]

*His raised eyes moved back to the spot on the wall they had previously been fixed on. He was not about to offer any words willingly.*

[Lucius Malfoy]

*He kept a gracious smile, not wanting to let on his intent.*

Do you require assistance my dear?

[Peon Erupttat]

*He grew curious as to what Lucius purpose was, being there. He waited in silence to find out.*

[Lucius Malfoy]

*As Venus studied the beast in the cell, Lucius silently levitated the wands of Crabbe and Goyle towards their respective owners, making sure that she did not notice.*

*To keep her focus on Erupttat, he moved to her side, stood blocking her possible view of where the wands were floating through the air and he himself looked in at the Dark Lords servant.*

[Bruce Goyle]

*His wand hovered into his hands. It took him a moment or two to realise what had just happened, and for even longer he sat confused about where it had come from.*

*He looked up to see Lucius Malfoy outside Erupttats cell. His best guess was that Malfoy had been sent to free them, although he could never be sure of where the mans loyalties lay. For the moment he kept his wand hidden, just in case it had not been Lucius who had sent it to him.*

[Lucius Malfoy]

*Having successfully sent the the wands to their masters, he turned his attention to Erupttat. Ever so subtly, he pulled back his robe, to reveal the wand in his pocket to the beast, though still keeping it from Venus' gaze.*

*He waited for Erupttat to notice, and gave the smallest nod of acknowledgement that he could.*

[Peon Erupttat]

*As Lucius moved his robe to reveal the wand to him, his eyes followed. The moment he recognised his weapon in the mans pocket, he realised what the situation was. The Dark Lord had called for his escape, and this was it.*

*Without a moments thought, he launched himself at the bars between himself and Venus, with a cross between a roar and a scream and throwing his arms forward as though lunging for her throat.*

*The cell bars shook violently as he collided with them, grunting and growling with a manic look in his eye, and a thirst for blood.*

[Lucius Malfoy]

*He had to admit, the violent lunge had taken him by surprise.*

*He took a startled step back and put out his arm to pull Venus back with him. As the beast man growled and clawed at them, he found his mind racing, trying to decide their next move.*

*After a heart pounding moment, safely out of reach of Erupttats grasp, he turned to Venus.*

Miss Tamwell. Are you all right?

*Before she had a chance to answer, he drew his wand and knocked her out cold.*

Stupefy!

*He had to act fast now, he had potentially made a foolish move. But if he was smart, he could resolve the situation.*

*As quickly as he could manage, he removed the cell keys from his robes and released Erupttat, followed by Crabbe and Goyle.*

*With a look of mild panic, he gave his instructions.*

Goyle, Crabbe, you are to go ahead and clear the way. We shall follow shortly.
