"A curfew?" Lucius asked incredulously. "That is all?!" Tom joined in playing the perfect horrified parent. "Albus, surely you know that an earlier curfew won’t keep the children in their dorms, the normal curfew barely does." Remus agreed. "You would know, your bloody Marauders were the worst culprits." Severus snorted derisively, smirking when the wolf sent him an exasperated look and James sent a snarl in his direction. It was the first real reaction James had shown since arriving for the meeting, he had been unusually docile."Oh like you weren’t out there breaking curfew planning evil attacks on our classmates." James snapped. Severus’ eyes narrowed as he opened his mouth to retort. "James, Severus." Dumbledore spoke in a warning tone, peering over his half-moon glasses, his jaw clenching when both men rolled their eyes and ignored him. "We will be implementing our own measures to protect the students of Hogwarts." Amelia stated strongly."You don’t think I have the ability protect my own students?" Dumbledore demanded forgetting for a moment of his audience. "Considering a cat and a student have been attacked, and you only want to induct an earlier curfew. Yes I am doubting your ability." Amelia snapped. "Careful with what you say next Albus." Cornelius warned gleefully, he had hated relying on the old man, but with Lucius and Dion helping him now, they would be able to prove the man was manipulative and didn’t deserve power. "Yaxley!" Amelia called as she turned around to face the group of men who had accompanied her. Lucius and Tom stepped aside as their friend and follower Corban Yaxley moved forwards, nodding respectfully to Amelia. Corban was only slightly shorter than his younger cousin Lucius, his own blonde hair also pulled back into a ponytail, but the streaks of white giving him an aged yet dignified look. His blue eyes like ice, they were colder and harder than Lucius’ own, he was a dangerous man on a good day. His pregnant wife, Emma Fenwick was murdered by her two older brothers; Robbie and Benji, for the crime marrying a Death Eater and then carrying his child. He had become a frozen, bitter shell, his only purpose getting revenge. With his best friends; Antonin Dolohov, Walden Macnair, and Rodolphus Lestrange, he had tracked the brothers down. Only bits of them had ever been found.
