"I just dropped by to see if everything was in order," he smiled, "I know the Minister is being a drag to you all. Skyris mentioned it to me when we had our little reunion." He looked around the building. "At least it's a nice place," he said, meaning it. |

*I face the building and look it over briefly.* I suppose so... I personally would prefer to be back at the old Headquarters, but Temp-, uh I mean, the Minister for Magic required us to move, so we obey... You know how it is... *I give him a half-hearted smile.* You've seen Skyris recently? I've yet to encounter her here... I've been a little under the weather so didn't move in until a few hours ago... *I look around the grounds and smile.* In fact, I was just on my way out to explore the new grounds... Would you care to join me or do you have a prior engagement? |

"I'm not too fond of Tempy either," chuckled Marcus, "Although us in the upper Ministry positions just call him Fuz Face and yes I would be honored to accompany you along the grounds." |

Fuz Face?! Really?! Well I never would have thought that Higher Ministry members would have such a dislike for him also... *I smile, feeling a slight blush creep to my cheeks. I just put it down to the cool chill in the air as I step off the porch. I stand in awe in front of the horse.* Absolutely stunning... really... What breed? *I ask, looking At Mr Severio.* |

"Friesian," he answered, "Our family has always prided itself in breeding them. I might have been blasted off the tree, but one cannot take away the love for such creatures." He patted Firefoot's muzzle. "Would you care to ride him? I assure you he's one of my best tempered horses," he asked her. |

*I look at Marcus, shocked.* Friesian?! Really? I've only read about those... *I say with a dreamy tone, as I watch the horse pad the ground.* Uh excuse me? Ride him? No, no I couldn't!... *I blush and shake my head.* I never had a penchant for horse-riding... I was just fascinated with them as a child... *I explain, looking Marcus in the eye.* |

"Very well," he said in the same happy tone, "Where is it you would like to go?" |

*I shrug, unlike what my upbringing would have allowed.* Haven't a clue... Go right and carry on to the end? *I suggest with a smile.* |

"After you then milady," he said with a bow; his overly correct manner's were not something he could help exactly. |

Thank you, kind Sir... *I smile and start walking right. I stop a few steps later and turn at see Marcus turning the horse around.* So what else do you do, Mr Severio? Other than breed these fabulous horses and hold a certain dislike for Tempy? *I ask with a smile.* |

"Well I'm on the Wizegamot," he told her, "It takes up much of the time, however what other time I have left I spend writing poetry, reading and sometimes a little swordsmanship. If it's not any of those then I'm spending time attending to the horses; I have about a dozen of them and well it's only really me and my two house elves Dori and Buster." |

Not married? *I clap my hand over my mouth and shake my head, horrified.* Sorry... I shouldn't have asked that... *I look pointedly at the path.* So you write poetry? Written anything I might have heard of? *I ask, steering the subject to something abit more appropriate.* |

"My wife died actually," he said quietly, "Skyris was only a little girl at the time." There was a short paused as he tried to forget her passing. "Uhm...well...my poetry is more of a sort of private matter; the sort a school boy will write when they are bored with their teacher; in my case it's when I can't listen to Fuz Face anymore in a meeting. I mean did you ever hear the lunatic giving one of his speeches? Limiting Auror budgeting to incease budgeting for us Wizengamot; like we need it. Half of us are old rich men; the money should be going to those whose lives have just begun. It's disgusting, if I were Minister I'd make sure no such nonsense would go on." |

*I look up at him with sadness in my own eyes.* Sorry.. I was out of line asking such a question... *I apologize again.* Fortunately no... I tried to, once, but I remember listening to one on the WWN(Wizarding Wireless Network) and I switched it off after about a minute as I was dozing off... *I grin sheepishly and nod profusely.* I agree! A friend of mine was stuck with the budgeting in the old HQ, and when she finally had it completed, Tempy told her to cut back even more... *I sigh and shake my head.* I don't know what's happening in the Ministry anymore... It seems that since tempy took office everything has gone into a downward spiral. Aurors play one of the most important parts of this war, yet all we seem to be getting is grief from our own side as well as the Death Eaters and the Dark Lord... *I look at him, half wondering if he had picked up on my using "Dark Lord" instead of "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.".* |

Marcus did indeed pick up Kristy using the term Dark Lord. "You were a Death Eater at one point weren't you?" he asked, "Skyris uses the term as well; it's a brainwash of sorts. I agree that the Ministry has gone downhill, but the problem is that no one is mad enough to take his bloody place." |

*I roll up my sleeve, showing him my slashed Dark Mark.* Not exactly my finest hour... *I shrug, covering my Mark.* It is a brainwash... But if I could take it back I would... *I admit, shaking my head.* And why would anyone want to take the reigns at this stage of the game?! Tempy's run the whole system into the ground... It was literally be suicide if anyone were to take his place now! The damage that's done is on the brink of being irreversible... I think that's what is putting people off. *I sigh.* The Wizarding community across the UK know what is happening, yet sit back, thinking it will right itself somehow... That is the most infuriating part, I think. That people just ignore the problem, even when it is right in their face. I think the only way people will react is when Ministry workers as being paid a Galleon a week for their troubles, and then what will happen? A revolt, that's what... *I express my views on the matter.* ... And the Dark Lord will have what he want's.... The whole Wizarding world engaged in some sort of civil war so that his attack against the innocents goes unnoticed... |

Marcus looked out into the open, some miles away he could see a lake. "Britain was born with a sword in hand," he said, sounding much like Skyris, "My family; as evil as they were, helped to protect this land for centuries past. I will not see the day where that slimy faced git takes over. If need be...I'll fight Fuz Face myself." He continued to look out into the water in a pensive manner. |

Spoken like a Minister... *I say smiling.* You know if you took over, I'm sure you'd have everyone's support...? Maybe you could be with the Community needs after Tempy? *I sigh quietly, watching the ripples made by the wind spread across the water near the centre.* |

"Perhaps," he sighed, "Though I'm not sure if the community would agree to putting a pureblood Severio in charge of the Ministry." |

Well... I think you're much better than Tempy will ever be, and having Severio couldn't be as bad as having a McKinly in the Top Spot... *I reason.* You maybe surprised... *I smile optimistically.* |
