Crouch Mansion

'Done?' I stand and hold my hand out for it

"Yes, here you are dear..." I hand her the letter, "Are you certain you don't want anything?"

I put it in my bag and smile. 'No. im fine. Honest.' I hug her. 'I better get back.'

I hug my daughter happily, "Okay, I look forward to seeing you again, no matter the circumstance."

'Ill visit more. I promise.' I walk to the door, throwing her a smile before stepping out and disaperating.

An unassuming owl rapped its claws against the door to the large mansion, screeching as it dropped a simple letter at the entrance.

On the parchment was Lukas's neat scrawl, addressed to crouch.

'My friend,
it's been a while since we last spoke to each other. I request a meeting immediately, we have much to discuss. I would not ask if it wasn't very important, our camaraderie has high value to me. I will be returning to Hogwarts promptly, but I would prefer to talk to you first.

also, excuse the formalities, acting a gentleman for months has taken a toll on me.

which is why we really need to kill shit together sometime too.

well, I'll be over in half an hour.
Lukas Moroskov.'

it was clear that Lukas had written this to announce his presence; Crouch actually had no choice in the matter.

"Well now..."

It rare, neigh impossible, for Lukas to take initiative for something much less call me out. My mind ponders what my kitsune friend has on his mind.

Whatever it is it must be important, that much is certain.

"What is on your mind my friend?" I mutter as I stop at the tree house River and I used to climb in.

'It was a matter of minutes before the kitsune himself appeared, a relaxed smile playing on his lips. Lukas seemed completely at ease, as per usual.

'Crouch?' he called out, standing by the entrance to the manor.

"Oh Lukas, Lukas Lukas Lukas..." An insane smile latched on my face like a twisted mask.

The boy snorted in response, running a hand through his shaggy black hair. 'how's it going?'

"Oh you know, causing havoc and misery... so I'd say pretty good,"

"You sounded like you had some urgent business to discuss..."

'Yeah, its pretty important...' He didn't know where to start.
'I've decided to take the schools power problem from a different angle.'

"oooohhhh? And how precisely do you intend to do that?"

'Gathering people from both sides, levelling out the playing field..' He murmured, trying to find the right words.

'The good guys won't expect it, it'll be an advantage for you.'

The lunatic raised an eyebrow, pondering on the idea. Even in his eyes you could tell the gears were turning, "Leveling the playing field say you?"

'Its already begun my friend. You could say I'm bringing in a third side, one for all the undecided.' He explained, watching his reaction.

OOC Well now  there's some innovative thinking!

IC

The madman tapped his finger against his chin. What implications could this have? On the one hand, it allows me to see who I could sway. On the other the same door is open to the enemy. 

But then again, why is the latter a problem? It'd allow us to keep better track of their numbers. 

But it could also lead to another adversary should things go awry. But at least the so called heroes wouldn't be one concentrated force.

"Who is leading this other side?"

He took a bow, grinning almost madly. 'Well, me and pixie, the chaotic neutrals.' He announced proudly. 'We are still contracted too, you have my service on occasion.'

And your death eaters can't harm me. 

"Hmmmmmm....."

"Yes I believe that would be rather fun..." I grin insanely at him.

OOC This really is great! It's been too dichotomic recently!  SO excited!

Ooc knew you would like it!
Ic 'think of it this way: we're reducing the power of both sides, but it will Also benefit everyone.'

Controlled chaos.

Laughing like a hyena from the pits of hell, I nod my head, "Let's do it! It'll be so fricken amusing! I think I might just bust a gut!"

'Glad to have you on board crouch.' Lukas was relieved to know that there won't be any pressure from the death eaters. 'Want to know who's signed up so far?'

"Yes, please enlighten me."

'Me, pixie, lewis, Logan and his brother, and some of the desouza family.' It was a good start by any chance.

Pixie and some of the Desouza garbage I'm not that keen on sparing, but accidents do happen...

"I'm curious though, how'd you come to this decision?"

OOC BTW Phoenix had to split and I will too in a few
