<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Dominic</strong></span><br/><br/>The noise woke Dominic up, it often did when he stayed at this place and because of that he generally made an effort to secure his own lodgings for the night when they would have a meeting or get together. Such things couldn't be avoided of course, to fail to attend a gathering would risk the attention of the others and from time to time one had to accept the hospitality of Lucius Malfoy when he insisted that you stay with him for the evening. To do otherwise risked insulting the man who hosted the get together and that was a rather dangerous thing, not quite so dangerous as drawing the attention of Bellatrix but still not quite a safe thing to do.<br/><br/>Knowing that getting back to sleep, even considering the magnificent state of the room that he was in Dominic rose from the bed, taking time to straighten his hair and dress in an immaculate suit before he left the room. He left the robe and mask of a Death Eater behind for the time being, he had been woken by an annoying little ruckus and unless he was very much mistaken that was hardly how they summoned the others for the meeting. He was hearing Bellatrix shrieking now, clearly he wasn't the only one who had been woken up and that was unfortunate, he had hoped that he might be able to a spectacular bottle of wine and slip away back into the room he had commandeered for himself but once Bellatrix got wound up and went to her happy place it became much more difficult to find any peace.<br/><br/>Entering the room where all the fun seemed to be coming from Dominic snatched an apple from a tray carried by a House Elf who probably thought that those awake might want something to eat. “A bottle of wine with a single glass, right away.” He instructed the elf, not caring much for the fruit one way or another but he could use a drink, if he was going to have to spend much time in the presence of Bellatrix then he wanted to have a decent buzz going.<br/><br/>“Bellatrix, Draco, Krys.” He greeted all those already gathered in turn as he began to cut off a slice from the apple with a bone handled knife that had been concealed up a sleeve of his suit. “I know we all get bored occasionally and who hasn't found a bit of random cruelty to be an amusing way to pass the time on occasion.” There was only the slightest trace of sarcasm in his voice, hardly noticeable unless you were already expecting him to be sarcastic towards you. “However I am sure that we all know a basic charm or two that could have kept your plaything quiet or at least muffled so that only you would be able to hear it.”<br/><br/>Without having been there he suspected Krys was responsible for the disturbance, Bellatrix had apparently been woken up by it all and Draco seemed to lack the stomach for this sort of thing. As the elf returned Dominic didn't even bother to acknowledge it, pouring himself a glass of red and slowly sipping from it.
