<span class="bbc_u"><strong>Lucius</strong></span><br/><br/>Lucius didn't really know for sure why Ginny Weasly was sneaking about on his grounds, he had heard rumors that she and Harry Potter were romantically involved, at least that was what the Prophet put forward in the gossip column. Was it possible that Potter had put his little girlfriend up to this, lacking the balls to do it himself, or perhaps her family had put her up to it... the blood traitors never had much when it came to brain power... but none of that really matched the pride that people from Gryffindor possessed. Instinct told him that they would rather not have sent someone else to do their dirty work then they could have tried to sneak in on their own... and that would mean that the youngest Weasly was working all on her own.<br/><br/>Still he was shocked at the bravery, or perhaps the stupidity that was required for her just to climb up into his home through the window. He couldn't see her but he heard the sound of someone landing on the floor of the library, perhaps she was using a charm to render herself invisible or had borrowed Potters fabled cloak. He wouldn't hesitate though, rather then give her a chance to come to her senses and attack him while he had the disadvantage of being unable to see her Lucius quickly and silently cast the Stunning spell towards where he suspected young Miss Weasly was, unable to see her he might be aiming blindly but he was trusting that he had fired it fast enough that she hadn't been able to move from where she had landed upon entering the room.<br/><br/>Her presence though, it complicated things but it could have an upside and already Lucius's mind was racing to find them. Bellatrix and some of the others would likely advocate killing her outright or tormenting her until she lost her mind and then dumping her senseless back out on the streets as a warning to those who might oppose them. But Lucius saw possibilities, to use her as a weapon against Potter and his supporters, a way to bring them all down. It would take time, patience, and no doubt a great deal of effort but this was too good resource to just discard out of hand. This young witch could end up being the ace in the hole he needed, a way to cement his leadership against would be usurpers.
