Olivia, hardly his intellectual equal but of all the people here she was the closet to him when you factored in age and civility of behavior. Bellatrix was just insane and impossibly to work with because of that and Snape was rarely around but when he was he made for a decent conversationalist. Olivia might be younger then him but she was intelligent if a bit narrow in the scope of her vision. Her suggestion about the cloak was a bit of an example of that narrow point of view, while it might show a bit more thought then most people would put into action once they found that they might have a unique magical item in their possession also was short sighted.<br/><br/>“I would rather you didn't do too much research into it.” He said with a small smile, playing nice though he was already in a rather nasty mood, his reading having been interrupted by the arrival of Ginny and now this foreign witch thought that she knew better then he did and had the crass forwardness to say so in his home. “If that cloak is what I suspect it is then keeping it unique is the best way to assure its value. If mass produced even in a diminished quality then it would be less useful to our cause... scarcity is value in the wizarding world and right now we need the cloak more then we need the money that replicating it could bring us.” And its not like he was in any danger of running out of gold thanks to countless investments.<br/><br/>Her comments about Ginny, again they showed a short sightedness in his opinion, to just release her quickly might hurt Potter in the short term, maybe even humiliate him by having the young witch openly want to return to them... but with more time she could be broken down, publicly denounce the views of her family or perhaps even strike down Potter himself at a vulnerable moment. “I suppose I could release her but I think she would be of greater use to us if we hang onto her for a while. The spells around the Manor will keep anyone from tracing her and even if she told others where she went they have no proof at all she is here... public image might not be my friend right now but wizarding law is on my side and the castle has many places where she could be hidden from even the most invasive search.”<br/><br/>As he had spoken he had kept walking until he reached the room where the ruckus had originated, just as an abused looking House Elf scurried out of the room after a kick from Bellatrix. A thought did occur to him though when he saw the people in the room, Krys was too unpredictable in his eyes to hand Ginny off too, she knew Bellatrix and Draco which made them unsuitability... and if he were to try and fail to accomplish anything with Ginny then it would weaken his position... but there was one who would serve perfectly to break her down. If Dominic were to fail then it would be his own fault, but Lucius could take credit for any success because he was the one who gave him the task.<br/><br/>“Dominic...” He called, waving the younger Death Eater over too him. “This, as I am sure you know, is Ginny Weasly... from this point on you are responsible for... well call it reeducation, whatever it takes you are to gain her loyalty and teach her the proper pride for a pure blood.”<br/><br/>Dominic didn't say a thing, instead merely smiled at the assignment, he had seen the gossip papers, knew who this was and how she was connected with Potter... and already ideas were occuring.
