Raiding → Emmett Avery

[Tiffany Lestrange]

Tiffany stepped in as soon as the door was busted down, taking out he woman who was covering in the corner with a single green flash, and an angry exclamation of "Avada Kedavra". She immediately sidestepped to make sure that the others, Emmett, Thorfinn, and Alecto, had a chance to enter as well. If there was anyone else in the house, she didn't want to put herself up against them alone. 

"Check upstairs." she told Alecto, thinking ahead. There wasn't a set 'leader' for this particular outing, but if one of them knew what to say & when to say it, they did. It worked in a sort of harmony for them. The older woman skipped off to look upstairs as Tiffany rounded a corner into the next room, wand at the ready. There was a set of screams upstairs, from Alecto, and the distinct sound of a man, a thud, then Alecto snickering. Tiffany jumped at the first sound, then waited until she was sure it was safe before moving on.

"All clear." Thorfinn said, sticking his head out of the kitchen, where he'd disappeared to when they first entered. Alecto began trotting back down the staircase, chiming out, "Clear upstairs." Tiffany relaxed a little, lowering her wand just slightly before heading over to the woman in the corner & nudging her to fall over, eying the small trunk she had been sitting on. The initials on it were not that of either of the adults they'd been sent to kill in the house.

"There was a child's room upstairs." Alecto started to say, stepping closer, & Thorfinn immediately rushed to check the garden area. "There's a swingset out here."

Tiffany snarled angrily & headed for the back door of the house, tracking the mud from her boots across the floor.

[Emmett Avery Jr]

Emmett didn't seem too impressed, he wasn't one to kill unless he had to sure he thought of those of lesser blood as disposable but that didn't mean that he through it was a good idea to just storm into a home and throw off killing curses especially when children were involved, killings such as this one were growing more and more but that didn't mean they should just stop being careful turning to Tiffany he shot her a look and then Alecto " brilliant" he commented quietly then disappeared into another room of the house looking to see if the child was anywhere to be found.

[Tiffany Lestrange]

"Not you, you're scary." Tiffany snapped at Thorfinn when he went to follow her out to check the garden. There was some scuffling about, and by the time that all of them were back in the front hall, Tiffany was the only one still out. She returned a few moments later, gripping the back collar of a young boy, too young for school, but old enough to know to hide. He couln't have been older than 7 or 8. She maintained her grip on his collar, even as his tear-soaked cheeks tensed up, his lower lip wobbling dangerously.

"Wh- what happened to my mum?" he continued trying to sneak glances in the direction of the woman's body, but Tiffany tightened her grip, fingers raising to hold the back of his neck, keeping his head straight. Thorfinn ducked down in front of the boy, his expression steely. 

"She attacked one of us, and -" he started to explain, but the boy clearly thought he was smarter.

"That's not right." he said seriously, his fear being momentarily replaced with anger. "She wouldn't have. My mum can't even do magic."

"Hm, that settles that, then." Tiffany's voice cut through the child's, a flash of green cutting through the air & causing the boy's face to go blank, for a long moment, before his knees crumpled & his dead body fell harshly onto the wooden floor with a thud. 

[Emmett Avery Jr]

Emmett turned to Tiffany and cocked an eyebrow "really?" he turned to her and shook his head " I understand that there are people that need eliminating but that doesn't mean we should just go off and kill them instantly, we need to have some tact" looking down at the now lifeless child he frowned then looked back up at the 3 then swiftly flipped up his hood turning to leave.

[Tiffany Lestrange]

Thorfinn winced away at the light. He'd had to kill a child before & it wasn't an experience that he was eager to relive.

"I need a cigarette." Thorfinn said, brushing Emmett out of the way to head outside. They'd just raided the house & it no longer had living occupants to complain about the smoke, but it was still a habit to step outside. Tiffany grabbed Emmett's arm as he went to leave, gesturing to Alecto who had started to rummage through drawers, trying to find anything of value, and family trees or birth certificates.

[Emmett Avery Jr]

Emmett pulled his arm back and cocked an eyebrow at Tiffany, he gave Alecto a look and then Tiffany "what?" he asked in a unpleasant tone, the killing of children half-bloods or not it got more attention than those killings of couples without children or even muggleborns.Perhaps it just showed how gruesome it all could be Emmett knew it was necessary but half-bloods marrying pure-bloods would eventually clean out the blood muggleborns were the real problem.

[Tiffany Lestrange]

"Don't look at me like that." she snapped at him, clearly irritated with his attitude. "Tonight was clean. No witnesses, no survivors." she narrowed her eyes. "Help us find certificates." she added.

[Emmett Avery Jr]

Emmett shook his head and turned away from her doing as said, her began to look through dressers and cabinets, with a sigh he looked over at the mantle and noticed a few family albums narrowing his eyes he stepped over to them swiftly, flicking open the book he saw a picture of the now deceased parents holding their son, he twitched his lip slightly flicked through the pages until he found what the needed then headed for the door "got it, lets go"

[Tiffany Lestrange]

Alecto returned, the ring gleaming on her finger clearly that of the deceased mother on the floor.

Thorfinn hadn't even looted the house - clearly he wasn't feeling great, now, either.

"Right." she followed Emmett & Alecto outside to meet up with Rowle, the lot of them apparating back to Lestrange Manor.

"Told you, he isn't back yet." Greyback snarled at Tiffany when she demanded to know where Yaxely was. She glared at the werewolf as if seriously considering neutering him, before going over to the sitting room where Emmett was stationed on one of the couches, ignoring him to pace back & forth in front of the window impatiently.

[Emmett Avery Jr]

Emmett shifted away from Tiffany and cocked an eyebrow "I am saying this because I care, but you need to stop" he looked at her seriously "you are a Lestrange, if that is not enough of a warning beacon for the ministry, your lack of humanity lately is well if I am putting it bluntly....extremely stupid on your end you might as well write a letter to the ministry I am a death eater ask me about my mothers wereabouts."

[Tiffany Lestrange]

"Loss of humanity?" she repeated, snorting in disbelief at him, "Merlin, Avery, why don't you just make me hot chocolate & sing me a fucking hymn or two? What the hell has gotten into you?" she looked over at him, her eyes narrowing. Part of her was confused - she'd done well enough with avoiding the Ministry, her monthly check-ins usually went off without a hitch. She had to admit that she knew she was getting more & more distant, lately, but it seemed like the farther she got away from her old self, the easier it was to do the things that made the people around her proudest.

"Illsa!" she stamped one foot against the ground softly, the only sound that followed being the scampering of long claws on the old hardwood floor as the beast skittered & slid into the room, sliding to a stop at Tiffany's feet. The animal seemed to mimic Tiffany in her appearance becoming more & more corpse-like. 

[Emmett Avery Jr]

Emmett snorted at her "that is hilarious really" he gave her another look and shook his head "forget I said anything never mind just cut yourself off when we are all this close to finally infiltrating the castle go on acting like a hollow shell and practically drawing the attention of anyone who isn't completely oblivious everyone will be so damn proud when you blow the entire thing" he replied sarcastically, Emmett wasn't aware of what Voldemort's plans were concerning him asking Draco to kill Dumbledore but he knew that he was working on something and Tiffany making herself so distant from her fellow students given her background was bound to raise red flags eventually.

[Tiffany Lestrange]

"I don't need any of those people in my life." she growled. "No one has blown anything. In fact, there have been rumors going around the castle that my mother's dead. Maybe that is why I've been acting so weird. Maybe it's because my aunt and uncle were both under fire for months because they were - gasp - death eaters the whole time! Or maybe I'm just a bitch." she stared him down angrily, & Illsadryl turned her head to look at Emmett curiously, trying to figure out what he was doing that was causing her master so much irritation. 

[Emmett Avery Jr]

"no you just need Yaxely" Emmett commented condescendingly then shook his head and rose to his feet "like I said forget it" he turned away from the girl clearly unimpressed he agreed with the cause and did what he had to but much like her appointed counterpart she seemed to enjoy the most gruesome and dark parts of the job and that seeing her from when she started as a D.E and now made his skin crawl.

[Tiffany Lestrange]

Illsa perked up happily at the mention of Yaxely & trotted over to Emmett expectently, sitting on the floor next to him & staring up at him pathetically, as if he happened to have Brent hiding in his pocket or something. Tiffany glared angrily at the other Death Eater & turned away to stare expectantly out the window, again.

"Look, I get where your concern is coming from, if that really is where it's coming from, but it's dealt with. I'm not blowing anything for anyone." she turned to look at him, staring him down. The yelling & outwardly intimidating parts of her personality came from her mother, but the deadly silence & stares came from Rodolphus.
