<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Lucius</strong></span><br/><br/>For Lucius the early morning disturbance caused by his guests was something he expected, the exact time it would happen was hard to predict but if more then two or three days to go by without the halls of the manor being filled with the screams of a random victim Lucius would get a bit nervous. For the crazy people living with him to behave how they normally did didn't put him off at all but if they stopped behaving strangely then he knew something was wrong, if they were busy torturing then they were unlikely to find the time to plot against him. While some people might not be willing to accept it Lucius considered himself the deffacto leader of the Death Eaters now that Voldemort seemed to be gone for good. He had the vision, he had the drive, and most importantly he had the sort of financial power that was needed to ensure they would be able to rise to power once more.<br/><br/>He was sitting in his library, reading a book on undetectable poisons and sipping form a small cup of perfectly made espresso when a small book inside his robes began to emit a chiming noise. His brow wrinkling in annoyance Lucius withdrew the book from his pocket and opened it, the page unfolding many times until it became a map of his manor. Malfoy Manor might be protected by a great number of charms that made infiltrating it without being noticed nearly impossible, one could not aperate onto the grounds nor could one leave through that manner, at least not without knowing the necessary pass code... but the map was perhaps the greatest security measure he had.<br/><br/>Anyone who entered the gates through the normal manner would be recorded on the map, it would show their location at all times and allow its holder to keep track of them no matter what charms or items they might use to try to hide themselves. But if someone entered through a gap in the defenses, as unlikely as that may be, the map would detect them as well and they would show up in red ink instead of the normal black, a chime alerting him the moment they were on the grounds, all the Death Eaters were shown on the map, it appeared that Kyrs and Draco had gotten up to something that had caught the attention of Bellatrix and it was even drawing Dominic towards them, they must be the source of the ruckus.<br/><br/>More interesting though was the name in the red ink, not far from the window of the library in which he now sat.<em>Ginerva Weasly</em>had somehow infiltrated the grounds and was sneaking about. She couldn't be allowed to leave, who knew what she had seen or what she might be up too. With a sigh of annoyance Lucius drew his wand from his cane and moved to the window, making sure to keep out of sight, should she try to climb in or look through it he was ready to cast a curse to knock her unconscious... she wouldn't be leaving.<br/><br/>(I always felt Marauder's Map couldn't be entirely unique)
