Mercutio, Food Sneaker (Octavian)

[Mercutio Lestrange]

"And what will you do to Wilde?" Mercutio asked evenly. He did not like that fanatical dark look in his brother's eyes one bit. People could lose themselves to revenge. He didn't want his brother's psyche to break. He didn't want him to become a stranger in his room. The two had never gotten along exceedingly well but they were brothers still and Octavian had his merits even if he always was trying to get Mercutio into trouble and was constantly making fun of him.

He chuckled and then looked down at his weak frame, skin unusually pale, face more gaunt than most for boys his age. Yes...He was the sickly one. He was clever but physically...Octavian would have him beat in under a second. "Yes...Well physical speaking you're certainly in a better position than me." He sighed. "Still, you're my little brother, family. I want to help you if I can." Even though he very much doubted Octavian would do the same were the positions switched.

"I have not thought of anything yet. But I have a month while I am grounded so I can think of something in the mean time." he said calmly, and closed his eyes. He would have to figure out something, but he had time, and he could come up with something bad if he just tried to long enough. A month was a good time limit.

"You can come up with a plan of how to take revenge? I can do it myself, but you can help me plan it."

  

[Mercutio Lestrange]

Was he really doing this? Was Mercutio going to start acting like a typical Lestrange and extract vengeance on his family's behalf? Was that right? But a dog was dead and not just dead but tortured first. His own little brother had been crucioed. Surely...something had to be done. And besides, Octavian was too impulsive. If he came up with a plan on his own he might just botch everything and get himself into more trouble.

"Daemon didn't deserve that," he whisper. Sapphire eyes met Octavian's in a hard stare. They were much colder than normal, more unrelenting. "You didn't deserve that," he said fiercely. Mercutio had said he would help Octavian...This...For Daemon for Octavian..Mercutio's hand had been forced. He couldn't play the ignorant boy who knew nothing. Knowledge had a price and this price was steep.

"I'll help you plan," Mercutio promised. He sat down besides Octavian. "I don't know Wilde like you do so you're going to tell me absolutely everything you know. Wilde's actions made you lose the thing most precious to you in all the world. If we're going to get revenge we're going to do this right. We have to hurt him in such a way he'll never dream of touching you again. We have to take away what he values above all else." That was how you dealt with bullies when peace was impossible. You needed to secure safety not for the moment but for the rest of time if you could.

"I do not know him that well. I have always disliked him, and I only went because I was forced to it, and I could bring Daemon. I never got to bring Daemon anywhere." he said and looked at Mercutio - it was the truth, if Octavian got to choose, then he would spend much more time with Meta than anyone else. His cousin always saw things his way, and she understood him better than anyone else.

"We need re-inforcements, Meta, her brother. If anyone can help us it is them." he said calmly. Meta and Kristoffer, Kristoffer was already at Hogwarts so surely their cousin could do something bad to Wilde.

  

[Mercutio Lestrange]

Yeah. With Octavian's personality he could see how he wouldn't get along with Wilde at all. Truth be told Mercutio wasn't fond of him either.

In hind sight it was really unfortunate that Octavian had been allowed to bring Daemon. If he hadn't been all of this madness could have been avoided. But there was no point in dwelling on what could have been. They needed to focus on what happened and the future.

Mercutio's stomach sunk at the thought of working with the monster Kristoff. He really loathed him. If there was any sign that Mercutio was doing the wrong thing it had to be being on the same team as him.

"I'm not sure we need them as reinforcements, not unless they know Wilde really well. If they don't we can just as easily investigate him on our own."

  

[Octavian Lestrange]

"We can always try on our own, I am just saying that Kristoffer has gone to Hogwarts for two years already, so he must know some spells or something that migt help us. Not to mention that he can actually DO spells." he said and looked at Mercutio. Octavian trusted Meta more than anyone else - except Daemon - and Meta trusted Kristoffer, so Octavian trusted Kristoffer.

  

[Mercutio Lestrange]

Kristoffer was a brute. True Kristoffer could cast spells at will but Mercutio was willing to bet he'd take things too far. The guy struck him as being a bit chaotic and bloodthirsty. None of which were good things. Somehow he felt like getting him involved would be like letting a mad dog off a leash.

"It's your revenge, Octavian," he pointed out. "And you don't always need magic for that. Magic wasn't involved with the mess he got you into."

  

[Octavian Lestrange]

Octavian listened to Mercutio. "Maybe you are right, I just thought that maybe he would be a good person to have on our side." he said and thought about it. A part of him wanted to write to Meta and Kristoffer straight away, a part of him still did not wanted to tell anyone about it all.

"Mercutio - just leave me alone." he said before turning the back to his brother.
