Malfoy Manor

OOC: xD

IC: "Indeed." Jay puts the glass down, unsure what to do with it. "I wonder what's happened while we've been gone?"

Who knows, I'm sure we will when we get back...

"Knowing Hogwarts, a dragon could have appeared and nobody would bat an eyelid." He rolls his eyes. "Shall we head out, then?"

-Groans- Yeah we probably should... -disapparates-

He disapparates.

-I apparate there and let the guards know who I am, Rhia is with me and I show him my Dark Mark, he lets me inside-

Once again she enters the vast mansion, this time to see someone a lot more intimidating then petty Death Eaters and a werewolf... Awesome. She follows Crouch.

-We enter a room where Voldemort is sitting on a large luxurious chair-

Crouch: -I drop to my knees immediately and speak in such a tone as a clergymen talking to God- My lord, it is a great privilege to stand before you twice in one day.

Voldemort: Ahh... Crouch, I see you bring the other hopeful who secured the Stone...

Rhiannon drops to the floor beside Crouch, leaning just that little bit lower than him to signify who was the superior in this situation. "My Lord..."

ooc, ya like that?

OOC Welcome to the Wonderful World of Crouch's Approval

IC

Voldemort: I take it you recommend this one as well Crouch?

Crouch: I would not have brought them before his lordship if I didn't see them as worthy of your service.

Voldemort: -nods- Very well then... child, tell me your blood status.

"Pureblood, my lord." She remains kneeling in front of him, not daring to look up and disrespect him.

Voldemort: Ah excellent! A pureblood with Crouch's recommendation. Two splendid new Death Eaters in one day. You're doing quite well Crouch.

Crouch: -Trembling with excitement- Thank you my lord! I am pleased that you are pleased!

Voldemort: Very well then, I shall brand you, my child. Please, step before Lord Voldemort.

She stands up straight and keeps her eyes lowered. She walks forward, her heart racing.

Extend your arm, child... and embrace your destiny...

"Yes, my lord." She bites her lip and holds out her arm, pulling her sleeve up.

Crouch: -No matter how many times I see these brandings, I keep wishing I could do mine a second time-

Voldemort: -I put my wand on her arm and it burns Rhiannon's arm as the Dark Mark forms on her arm-

Her lip curls at the pain but she stays still, watching the mark spread over her arm. She looks down at it and something in her stomach leaps. She is filled with euphoria as she looks down at the ink that brands her part of a cause. She fully belonged somewhere now. She smiles a cold smile.

Voldemort: You are now part of my ranks, Rhiannon. Today forward, you shall help us purify the world.

Crouch: -Crazy grin- Congratulations Rhiannon...

"Thank you, my Lord." She breathes. "I am honoured to work for you, I will never fail you." She smiles and bows slightly once more.

Voldemort: I'm sure you won't under Crouch's guidance. You will make yourself useful. I was impressed by you and Jay retrieving the Stone for me.

Crouch: -Trembles more in excitement-

"It was easy my lord, it was merely in the keeping of an old washed-up pureblood man."

Voldemort: Yes, Crouch has written to me about the details. You did well, I'm afraid there are others among you who would've just spilt his pureblood. Such a waste that would've been. Now, you are both dismissed.

Crouch: -Rises- Yes my lord, your will be done.

She bows her head, "Again, thank you, my lord." She backs away then looks at Crouch.

-I walk out and hold the door for Rhiannon-

She proceeds out the door, looking down at her dark mark and gently tracing a finger around it in awe.
