Venus had been sitting quietly for a while, just listening to the men speak. She shook her head as Moody suggested another all out attack. Her eyes dated around a bit, and she shifted in her set clearing her throat before she spoke.
"Gentlemen....As...Exciting and dangerous as a direct attack would be, that's exactly whats got us into this mess. I do however, have a suggestion to make. I'm not sure how many of you know, but I am a gifted metamorphmagi...and I've had a plan swirling around in my head for...quite a bit."
She stood and began to pace about the room, looking at each man in turn.
"I propose...an infiltration of the dark lords ranks. Aka....Let me go take an apprenticeship, get myself into azkaban with a little help from a friend that is..*she smiled* And find out what were working with."
Her eyes turned to Papanoida for support.

*He bowed his head and smiled.*
I'm glad that some of you are starting to see sense. This is what I proposed from the beginning.
Let's hear more about your plan Venus. We can't expect you to take on Azkaban alone.

"I don't plan to go in...all alone. I...do have some help. But you have to understand, This is what we are willing to do for those we love. In order for me to secure my position...I've enlisted the help of a friend...Daisy Olivander. She's going to claim to have information on Potter, which will help show them I am for their cause." She took a seat so she was facing the men.

*His loud voice burst out as he rose from his seat.*
What!?!
*He had recently met Daisy himself, and though he greatly respected her determination, he could not imagine her in any sort of dangerous role.*
You expect the pet shop keeper to give herself to the Death Eaters? Are you mad?
*He remembered how keen Daisy had been to help and deduced that it had likely been her idea. So keen she was to rescue Ken Bonobo. He calmed slightly and sat back down.*
Information on Potter was it?

Venus smiled from her seat, crossing her legs again.
"My dear Robards. Daisy and I have been over the plan. It is a good plan if I do say so myself. And it's not real information on Potter...I couldn't do that to him. It's just to get me inside. Ya know...daisy may act a little silly sometimes, but she know's what she's doing. We'd do anything for the one's we love. You just have to let us shine."
Venus closed her eyes for a moment then opened them again, her usual light brown hair turned dark, her features changing a bit.
"You see gentlemen, I'm a ministry pawn waiting to be placed where need be. I've already picked out who I'm going to go apprentice to...A man can't resist a woman's beauty."
She ran a hand through her hair before nodding her head, letting the men talk amongst themselves for a moment.

*He clapped his hands together and looked around the room to his associates.*
Well, I'm game.
In fact I think we can play this to our advantage.
*He held his hand out gesturing Venus.*
Venus here can go in undercover as she says and take in Miss Ollivander, saying that she is a friend of Potter's with information.
*He waved his finger in thought.*
Now of course, she will actually need to give them some amount of information, else they will torture her no end.
Gentlemen... and lady. What I propose is that we give her false information. The Death Eaters will follow the lead and will come straight into an ambush prepared by us. We get the blighters on our terms for once.
*He leaned back into his seat pleased.*
What say you all?

*Snape's shadowy figure had slipped into the meeting room unnoticed during the conversation between Robards and the woman Tamwell and he had been standing against the wall with intent to reveal himself at the opportune moment*
*takes a step forward into view, his eyes on the large rotund figure of the man, clapping in mocking applause as the room falls deafeningly silent*
Dear Robards, and Tamwell. How... simple you make it sound. Truly, your unrelentling positivity is admirable.
*clasps his hands behind his back raises his eyebrows as he scans the faces in the room, quite enjoying the awkward silence*
I do rather think you are mistaking the Death Eaters, and the Dark Lord, for fools. No one can merely 'join the ranks' without being thoroughly verified - even the Dark Lord scrutinizes to the very soul just by setting his gaze on a person. To be an apprentice you will be asked to do monstrous things. In order to study apprenticeships with the Death Eaters, you are bound by blood to action out an execution on an innocent in order to prove your worth to their cause. Are you certain that is what you want, Tamwell?
*doesn't wait for her to answer*
With no advocate, no sponsor, I foresee this infiltration a failure. You will not be able to do this without help from one who is trusted by them. This is where I offer myself.

*Snape had arrived. This was an unexpected bonus. He knew full well that no plan they made could work without the help of one bearing a Dark Mark.*
We welcome your assistance, Mister Headmaster. What do you suggest?

Far be if for me to discourage Tamwell in her somewhat absurd plan that she will clearly insist on carrying out, I strongly suggest you allow me to act under the pretence of Tamwell's master, and so she becomes my apprentice. I shall take her to see the Dark Lord, *glances at her with his dark eyebrow raised* if that is still what she maintains to be her wish. I have overseen many candidates before, there is no reason for the Dark Lord to doubt my word. He will be interested in any information about Potter.
I shall give her training in Occlumency, as precaution. The Dark Lord will probe all minds that stand before him.
I imagine that if Tamwell goes before the Dark Lord with the Ollivander girl herself, it will give her lead more weight. However I fear for the girl's safety. I cannot predict what the Dark Lord will do to her after the information has been extracted from her.
We are still basing this plan on little more than hope.Dare we do so?

*He clapped once loudly, almost jumping out of his seat. His finger then pointed at Snape and wagged while the Baron smiled.*
This is the stuff. This is what I've been saying from the beginning. Thank you Snape, thank you. A sensible plan at last!
*He turned to Venus.*
You know that you have my support Venus, but I do suggest you accept Mr Snape's help.

*Venus eyed Snape as he walked through the door. Her eyes followed him as he spoke, shaking her head a little. Venus stood up, shaking a bit as she listened.*
Of course I want to go through with my plan. I've prepared myself for what I may be asked to do. If you have forgotten...Dear sir's, I grew up in a death eater household. Always had visits from the dark lords servants in mothers home. Do not think, for merely a moment that I am just some fool of a girl. I know what lies at the end my path. *Venus calmed down a bit, eyes having not left Snape's face.*
I...Accept the help Professor. I could definitely use someone of your expertise if I am to successfully plant myself among the Dark Lords ranks.

Now then. We've gone and upset the girl. And here she is offering to save the day.
*He grinned at Venus.*
I expect you will want to arrange the details with Professor Snape yourself?

*Looks to Tamwell*
Yes she will want to arrange details with me. Tamwell when you are ready, please see me in my office at Hogwarts. Unfortunately I cannot spare any more time for this meeting.
*nods a farewell to Roboards and the Baron, turns on his heel and heads out of the room*

*Venus nods and sits back down.*

*He clapped his hands loudly, with a pleased look on his face, and rocked forward in his seat.*
Well! There we are! That's a start! I call this meeting adjourned I'd say.
*He raises from his seat and begins making his way towards the door.*
I'm all ears if anyone else needs me in my office.
