Beware

Even the most pure of heart can not escape the allure of darkness. Even the most courageous fall the a single fear. I would change if I could, but I can't. I just can't and I can never go back. Member...

Antonin didn’t care enough to continue arguing with her. Was a bad idea to argue with delusional teenagers. “You’re so very welcome. I have nothing to do with my time.” His voice dripping with sarcasm as well. “From you? Nothing.” He adjusted his coat. “Your parents paid for it already.”

She smirked at the tone of his voice. She knew who she was, and knew one day he’d regret irritating her.  “Lovely.” She said curtly. “I’ll have to send them a thank you, I suppose. How are you Dolohov? Enjoying our lovely London winter?” She didn’t give a damn, but she supposed small talk might annoy him and decided to give it a try.

[antoninxdolohov]

An eyebrow raised at her attempt as small talk. “I’m used to Welsh and Russian winters. This is nothing compared to them.” He shrugged. Antonin took a lot of pride in his heritage. Keeping the emotionless and calm tone as he spoke. “How about you?” The question might just irritate her as much as it irritated him.

“And what does your woman’s intuition say I was doing that was so suspicious? Because to me I was just reading.”

“It’s woman’s intuition not a physic ability, I can only tell so much. And my intuition says is was something suspicious.” She glanced at his book, “What are you reading?” 

[antoninxdolohov]

“Just curious if maybe my reading was suspicious.” He teased her a bit. “Maybe you’re right. Maybe I am constantly up to no good. Um Hamlet. A play by William Shakespeare.”

[antoninxdolohov]

Antonin just chuckled. He wasn’t scared of some emotional child. A head of a household could not get into petty squabbles so he decided not to retort. He knew his skills and what he could do. His cold black gaze remained locked on her and an amused smirk rested on his pale face. “I will let you have that discussion with your parents. It’s not my job to.”

[le-reinenoire]

She noticed he failed to come back at her, and she laughed darkly to herself. He wasn’t afraid of her, but she was pleased she’d had the last word. “Lovely. Thank you ever so much Dolohov.” Her words dripping in honeyed sarcasm. “What else do you need from me, aside from giving me the mysterious book?”

“Now why would you say that?”

“Let’s call it woman’s intuition.”

“Something tells me you’re up to something you shouldn’t be,” Violet said, looking over at the other person.

[antoninxdolohov]

“Now why would you say that?”

[antoninxdolohov]

“Well, from what I’ve heard, it is hard to out drink a Russian.” Regulus lifted a knowing brow, even if he didn’t know that for sure. “Me? Have potential? Oh Antonin, do continue this flattery.” He grin almost innocently, waving the feathered quill over his face.

[antoninxdolohov]

“Incredibly hard to do so. I have family members who drink from the moment they wake up.” Antonin chuckled a bit. “Don’t get to flattered. Many young wizards have potential. Many of them also don’t live up to it.”

“Oh shame. I imagine it would be quite a fight.”

“While I am sure many people would love to see how that would transpire, I’ve just cleaned the floors and don’t particularly want to have to do it again.” Ilona replied with a shake of her head. “So other than to be nosy about my whereabouts, what else has brought you over in this direction?”

[antoninxdolohov]

“Another day then.” He shrugged. “I wouldn’t call it nosy. More curiosity.” A small chuckle escaped his lips. “Peter and I were going through some boxes and I thought you might like to go through this stuff we found. Doesn’t really fit in my shop but you might find something.”

Antonin was heading to see his family. When someone collided with him. He steadied himself and reached his hands out to catch her. “Clearly.” He raised his eyebrow and tried to make sure she was secure on her feet. “I’m fine. Are you, Miss Black?”

She took a huge step back immediately, shaking free from his grasp. “It’s Tonks, now. Mrs. Tonks. You know that, and so does everyone else. Please don’t touch me.”  Everyone knew. “I’m perfect, and I’m late for work.”

[antoninxdolohov]

“My apologies. I had forgotten Mrs. Tonks.” He nodded. Of course, it had slipped his mind that she had made such a silly choice. It was her choice and she’d have to deal with the consequences. He moved his hands away from her. “Just wanted to make sure you were steady. You collided with me pretty hard there. Well then I won’t hold you back anymore. Have a nice day at work. My regards to your husband.”

[antoninxdolohov]

“I don’t doubt you won’t try Miss Black. I doubt that you could shred me. You are not even close to having the experience with magic that I have. Now now, no need for name calling. You’re better than that.” He shrugged. Keeping his calm demeanor no matter how she spoke to him. It was one of his talents. Keeping that cool and collecting facade. “Need is such a strong word.” He pushed his coat aside to take a book from it. “Your parents requested this.” He held the book up to her.

[antoninxdolohov]

“Tough. My business is my own. Hexing me or better trying to would not end well for you.” Antonin was always cocky about his abilities as a wizard. To a point where it could be dangerous to him.

Antonin chuckled a bit at the last comment. “You should value the opinion of my family and of me. When you do take over your family you will be dealing with me as head of the Dolohov family. One of the strongest and respected families in Russia. It’s a tie you wouldn’t want to loose because of ego. Now would it?” Antonin often found himself actually offering advice or mentoring and he wasn’t sure how he got to that point. “Rod, you have potential. We’ve all been where you are.”

“Well I obviously wasn’t referring to you Antonin. It would be an honor to deal with you as head of your family.” he truly did mean that. “Now, as far as potential goes, we’ll see.” he wasn’t keen on giving himself up for anything that he may or may not have already done to showcase his “potential”.

[antoninxdolohov]

“Wise words. Here is something you might not expect but it can be wise to deal with half-blood families. Know thy enemy. The more they trust you the more willing they are to tell you their secrets. You need not like them or respect them but knowledge can be power.” Antonin shrugged. In his animagus form it allowed him to spy and gain information that would help the Death Eaters. It also helped conceal his identity so no one knew his affiliation. “We shall. Try not to let us down, Lestrange.”

“Oh, I think I can handle it. I’ve had many night’s practice with Rodolphus.” Regulus grinned in a very mischievous way, adding a small shrug. “When it comes to my brother, I never take offense, especially when you put it that way.” He snickered some, gently whipping the quill’s feathers back and forth. “You think that highly of Pettigrew, do you? Interesting. But I see your point with the confidence.” Regulus nodded, running his fingers along the edges of the feather. “It really is everything.”

[antoninxdolohov]

“Ha! Rodolphus has nothing on a Dolohov.” He chuckled. Antonin didn’t drink but he had seen his family drink and they were very talented in that respect. “I think Peter has potential and he needs to live up to him. You have potential but you’re not being held back. He is though.” Antonin shrugged.

[ilona-burkee]

“Now if I told you where I’d been, I’d have to kill you. And we don’t really want that, do we?”

[antoninxdolohov]

“Oh shame. I imagine it would be quite a fight.”

Her first day back to work, and she was late. Of course she was. Cursing herself silently, Andie moved quickly through the streets, her pace fast and her steps even -no matter how rushed, a lady never flat out ran; she walked briskly. She was no more than a block away from Mungo’s when she collided with another body, a surprise when a second before, the path had been mostly clear.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t see you,” she said, reaching out with one hand to steady the other person, her other hand moving up to push the hair from her face so that she could see her victim. “Are you alright?” 

[antoninxdolohov]

Antonin was heading to see his family. When someone collided with him. He steadied himself and reached his hands out to catch her. “Clearly.” He raised his eyebrow and tried to make sure she was secure on her feet. “I’m fine. Are you, Miss Black?”

[le-reinenoire]

“You have exactly five seconds to tell me what it is you need from me before I hex your arse.”

[antoninxdolohov]

“That I would love to see.”

[rcdclphus-lstrnge]

antoninxdolohov:

“No I don’t which is why I mock you. God, you take yourself far too seriously.” Antonin rolled his eyes. “I would say you’re getting there but you’re still younger so it’ll take some time before you’ve really earned your place. But you’ll get there.”

“Mmmm…debatable.” Rodolphus shrugged, his father in contrast would argue he never took anything seriously, let alone himself or the family. “I guess that’s fair enough.” he responded to the latter remark. “Then again there are very few whose opinions actually matter on the subject.”

[antoninxdolohov]

Antonin chuckled a bit at the last comment. “You should value the opinion of my family and of me. When you do take over your family you will be dealing with me as head of the Dolohov family. One of the strongest and respected families in Russia. It’s a tie you wouldn’t want to loose because of ego.
