Mr. Prince. Rupert Giles. My associate Ben Torres has already been in contact I understand.

Yes. Mr Torres has a - singularly unique method of communicating. I hope to work closely with your organization to remedy some of our mutual problems.

Which are, sir? I just want to make sure we are on the same page. ~~Rothstein and his family were once Watchers. He'll play ball.~~

Which are a group of powerful, well funded, well organized vampires just moved into the heart of the British empire waged war on a powerful wizard and his followers, turned a pureblood with Abraxas Malfoy and continue to turn wizards into vampires. There is even talk that in spite of their change in status that Malfoy and Severus have retained their magic.

Does the Council not consider magic wielding vampires to be a problem worth addressing?

There is no proof either of them have that ability.

It's rumor. But yes. We are concerned. We agree with the Ministry that this should be dealt with brutally and quickly. But war with a nest of America's size-

Whatever we can do. You have the Council's full support. And our resources.

Perhaps my sources are better than the Council's.

If Abraxas and Severus do retain their abilities that opens the door to several possibilities and none of them are particularly appealing. I may need to get closer to the situation to assess it objectively.

I am Arnold Rothstein, something of a chamberlain to the American family, and now of London. I think it's time we met sir.

Mr. Rothstein your reputation precedes you. I think the time for us to meet might have been before your associate Mr Siegel turned a wizard and you all commenced to make war in a country that is not your own in a conflict that was between wizards and had nothing to do with your family.

It's beyond time that we met.

We did not make war, we protected our family. That one of ours had a vested interest in seeing the Dark Lord defeated made it our concern. You're welcome. The London king was no friend of the Ministry's. We are.

The Ministry has yet to decide if you and your family will be categorized as 'enemy combatants'.

One of yours had a vested interest in my grandson. Are you aware of that? From what I understand Abraxas Malfoy took it upon himself as a newly turned vampire still with dirt behind his ears to turn Severus - the same teenage boy he has been grooming for years.

You assume that the Ministry wishes to be friends with unnatural creatures.

[[Locked]]

You should. We aren't going anywhere. We aren't your enemies, unless you decide that.

*arches brow* Your grandson? Forgive me. I was unaware he had family outside of absent parents. Had we known- ...nothing would have changed. The boy is brilliant and belongs with his family. The Malfoys were that for him. We honored his wishes.

Yet. You aren't going anywhere YET. I don't believe that you or your cohort will be giving up New York City any time soon.

This entire situation was caused by the poor impulse control of one of your people. Why should we believe that the rest of you are any better controlled or capable of policing yourselves?

Severus Snape is a Prince. I am his family. Abraxas Malfoy is his predator and you are enabling him. He's a child.

Are you asking us to leave? We don't go where we aren't invited.

I am curious how you know so much about the situation? Is the famed Prince's skill at mind reading I've heard so muc about. We should play poker.

Would you like to meet him? From my understanding you two have never met. I'd be happy to arrange a meeting.

It's easy to say you don't go where you're not wanted when you've already been there and participated in a war.

I've always been more of a baccarat man myself but I'm sure I could get together a game you would enjoy.

I would indeed.
