Nicolai spotted Maya from a distance, grinning to himself as he snuck up behind her. He couldn’t help himself as he leaned down and asked softly in her ear, ‘Come here often?’. Very cheesy, yes, but it was all in fun. “How are you tonight, gorgeous?”

i. The Mulciber name was a daunting one to live up to, with expectations set high from the moment he was conceived. His father was a few years Tom Riddle’s senior while they were in school, one of the original members of what they called the ‘Knights of Walpurgis’. Older or not, Mulciber Senior knew greatness when he saw it, and vowed back then that they would follow him to power and beyond. His mother, a Fawley, was from an equally traditional line of wizards, and was arranged to marry his father shortly after their graduating from Hogwarts. Their marriage was not a particularly happy or affectionate one, though that mattered little as it was short lived. When Nicolai was just three years old his mother was going through some of his great-grandparents things after their passing, only to accidentally touch a cursed object. She spent a long year in St. Mungos with her condition only worsening before she finally passed.

ii. Mulciber Sr. had not been a very attentive father to begin with, and after his wife’s passing he grew ever more distant. Nic was raised mostly by a nanny and an aunt, until it came to punishment where his father took over. Thus began the root of Nicolai’s outbursts, his temper grew violent as he began to show magical ability, and while his father punished him, that was the clearest way to get his attention. Nicolai adopted a friendship with the Avery child before his mother’s passing, and the two were as inseparable as two could be at such a young age. Every event, every play date, the two would go off together fake dueling or throwing rocks or whatever they could do to pass time. On his tenth birthday, less than a year from the day he’d be boarding the Hogwarts Express for the first time, Mulciber Sr decided it was time to start tutoring his young son. The first lessons were the hardest, as Nicolai bore the brunt of many hexes and curses without any real ability to defend himself, but the hours he spent practicing wandwork and spells, studying for hours in his father’s study, were some of the best memories he had with the cold man. They continued over the summers until his 5th year, when Mulciber Sr took to travelling under the request of the Dark Lord. What exactly he did on these trips Nicolai could only guess.

iii. Hogwarts was both entertaining and annoying for the young man, as he already knew what it was he’d be doing after he graduated. There was never any question, any illusion of choice for him, and for the most part he actually found some kind of comfort in the inevitable. His future dictated his friends, his classes, what he deemed worthy of his time. He had a terrible temper simmering beneath the surface which kept most people at a distance, but he had a small circle of friends that he’d grown very loyal to. Not that he wouldn’t mess with them for fun, on the contrary he was very amused by getting under their skin, but outsiders would have to deal with him if they picked on one of his people. if boiled down to a sports analogy, the best way to describe Nicolai’s outlook on life was that ‘the best defense was a good offense’.

iv. Keeping people at a comfortable distance was Nicolai’s specialty, so when a muggleborn girl strolled through his atmosphere he was caught off guard. It was shortly after sorting that Nic’s eyes landed on Mary Macdonald for the first time, and while the 11 year old boy couldn’t put his finger on it, there was something about her that drew him to her. He kept away, sticking to boyish teasing and mockery for the first few years, but puberty really took a toll on him. Nic could still clearly remember the first time he really saw her, (a sunny afternoon on the grounds in fourth year) when he noticed the curve of her lips, the sparkle in her eyes when she laughed at what he could only assume was a horrifically corny joke, how her hair caressed her shoulders. Once noticed, it couldn’t be unseen. This attraction should sicken him- he knew with every fiber of his being that she was unclean, unworthy, and she shouldn’t have even been there to torment him. However it festered within him for the next two years as he slowly grew bolder, louder, and more cruel. Sure, he bothered other mudbloods for fun as well, but it was a not so hidden secret within his small circle that his attention was mostly focused on her.  Sixth year everything came to a head and he crossed a line, one he honestly couldn’t feel remorse for crossing. He had proved that she didn’t hold any power over him.

v. Seventh year flew by at breakneck speed and before he knew it, he had graduated. He split his time between his father’s estate and a flat he rented in London and joined the Ministry as a Hit Wizard. Of course his first priority would always be the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters, but the job was actually a very good tool to keep him busy.

Being a squib or being a muggleborn?

“I just threw up in my mouth a little. I guess if it came down to it, muggleborn... my family would’ve gotten rid of me if i was a squib.”

[mulcibxr]

One night stands or a monogamous relationship?

“one night stands unless someone can keep me occupied enough to tie me down.”

[mulcibxr]

Riches or fame?

‘Just fame?  I’ll take the riches.”

This or That?

“I admire your determination.” He murmured, shaking his head with a rather playful roll of his eyes. Ridiculous. But it was true - he wished he was able to step out of his comfort zone more easily. “Wherever I can.” He admitted with a small chuckle. “People are especially stupid lately - have you noticed?”

“’determination’ is my middle name,” he chuckled dryly. One thing Nic was always on the look out for, and rarely couldn’t find, was amusement. Even if his sense of what  was and wasn’t entertaining tended to stray from the norm. He nodded, “it would be sad, really, if it wasn’t so annoying. Think they’d learn...” he trailed off, thinking of the ‘lessons’ he’d like to teach a fair few people.

Lucius largely considered the Leaky Cauldron below him. It wasn’t exactly a classy joint. But he supposed it was better than an evening at home drinking with his parents–he understood just how pathetic that was for a twenty-four year old. Besides, it didn’t always hurt to make his face seen. Remind people he was there. And, well, better than them. His sipped casually from his steaming drink–some fanciful wizarding cocktail and looked over at Nicolai as he joined him. “I suppose the same as you. Trying to have a good night out with a good drink despite the largely,” he sighed dramatically looking around the rest of the bar, “disappointing crowd.” 

Nicolai glanced around the room- Lucius was right, for the most part. The Leaky Cauldron patrons that evening were lacking to say the least, but it hardly bothered him except for the fact that he could easily grown bored. “Disappointing until now,” he grinned, referring to himself of course. A large gulp from his glass and he was grinning at Lucius once more, a sparkle of mischief in his eyes. “What’s your definition of a good night? I imagine we can scrounge up a little bit of fun.”

‘you need to run --- now!’ [from gideon @indagatorveri and peter @fideproditione !]

@indagatorveri​

“Why on earth would I do that?” He couldn’t help but ask with curiosity. Running was only an option if there were no others available. simple fear wouldn’t cut it. Besides, why a prewett would care…

@fideproditione​

“I should run? Maybe take your own advice, Pettigrew..”

[mulcibxr]

❛  do you think the world cares if you did your best ? do it again and do it right.  ❜

“d’y’know you’re sounding more and more like an old man every day?” Nicolai huffed back, gritting his teeth. Of course he wouldn’t settle for less than perfection, perhaps having the lightest flashback to training with his father, and performed the spell once more. Better, that time.

She was staring into her glass as she swirled it, watching the way it shimmered slightly as it sloshed, fancying she could see whole galaxies twinkling in and out of existence as they folded in on themselves. With a light sigh, she shook her head and took a long drink. It was surprisingly good - she’d have to try something similar. Maybe she could light it on fire. Gianna turned slightly, eyeing the man next to her. He was familiar, she was certain they’d crossed paths before - maybe he’d been in the Broomsticks. “Change of scenery.” She answered simply, shrugging, before a grin overtook her. “Well, sort of. Everyone decided to be boring and responsible, so here I am.”

Nicolai took his drink happily, taking a large gulp of the stuff before continuing conversation. Maybe the night would get interesting and he’d see someone wanted by the Ministry or the Dark Lord- now that would be fun. But he wouldn’t hold his breath, the rats were being careful. “You’re in luck the, darling, as I’m neither boring nor responsible,” he smirked. “where do I know you from?” He added, noting that the woman looked familiar.

This was the last time Severus ever let anyone decide what he was drinking, or eating, or doing. He had been indecisive, an offhand comment about his habitual nature had gotten under his skin more than he’d like to admit, but now, looking into the concoction, he realized there was a very good reason for his routine. “Wouldn’t be too sure about that.” He murmured, as the man ordered the same. The voice shook him from his thoughts, however, and he turned toward Nicolai - a welcome distraction. “Oh, I don’t know…” He sighed, a ghost of a smirk quirking his lips. “It’s Wednesday?”

“eh, if it does the job it doesn’t mater how bad it is,” Nic grinned back at Severus, shrugging his shoulders as his own drink was set before him and he took a sip. Interesting, for sure, but not undrinkable. “good enough reason for me,” he agreed, nudging the other man with his shoulder. Where’ve you been hiding?”
