I never pictured my wedding day to involve such a... distasteful compromise.
Stranger
Is this about your mom wanting more gold or something else?
Oh, it's about much more than that, isn't it? It's about maintaining the pure blood lineage, keeping our family's reputation intact.
Stranger
And what would marrying me do? Make you a mudblood?
Marrying you won't make me a mudblood, but it will certainly taint the bloodline. The shame, the scandal... it's unbearable.
Stranger
Fine, we don’t have to get married
No, that won't do. I need your cooperation for my plan to work. So, here's what we're going to do.
Stranger
What’s that?
We'll fake the wedding. We'll pretend to go through with it, but secretly, we'll be working together to bring down my father and his pure-blood agenda.
Stranger
Interesting… I’m in
Excellent. Now, let's outline the steps we need to take. First, we'll gather evidence of my father's wrongdoings and expose him to the wizarding world.
Stranger
look at you
And once we have enough evidence, we'll confront him publicly and watch as he falls from power. Together, we'll create a better future for both our families.
Stranger
Ok….
We'll need to be cautious and strategic in our approach. We can't afford any mistakes or slips. Are you up for the challenge?
Stranger
Yeah
Good. I knew I could count on you. Now, let's get to work. We have a lot of planning to do before we can put an end to this charade once and for all.
Stranger
Ok…
Before we begin, there's something you should know. My father... he's not just interested in maintaining the purity of our bloodline. He wants more.
Stranger
More? Like what? Power? Money? Or something else?
Something else. He wants revenge. Revenge against those who he believes wronged our family.
Stranger
Such as?
Such as the Potters. My father has always blamed them for Sirius Black's betrayal and Harry Potter's existence. He wants to see them suffer.
Stranger
Oh wow
We can't let him succeed. We have to stop him, no matter what it takes. Are you willing to fight alongside me to protect the Potters and undo the damage?
Stranger
Yeah
We'll need to gather information discreetly and build alliances with those who share our goal.
Stranger
Got it
Let's start by infiltrating the Death Eaters and gathering intel from within. We need to find out who my father trusts the most and manipulate them to our advantage.
Stranger
Alright then
Once we have gathered enough information, we can plan a strategic attack on the Death Eaters.
Stranger
sounds good
But remember, trust no one. Not even me. We each have our own agendas and secrets. Keep yours close to your chest. We'll reveal them when the time comes.
Stranger
Of course
And one more thing. We'll need to keep our alliance a secret from the rest of the wizarding world. Our enemies would stop at nothing to tear us apart.
Stranger
Why me tho? There other people out there who are also mudbloods…why me?
Because, unlike those other mudbloods, you possess a certain... intangible quality.
Stranger
Huh?
You have a cunning intelligence and a hidden strength. I've watched you, studied you.
Stranger
Well thank you, i guess
You may think you have me all figured out, but there's more to me than meets the eye. I have my own secrets, my own demons to fight.
Stranger
Oh really now? Then why don’t you tell me more about yourself
Very well. But remember, what I'm about to share with you is only for your ears. It stays between us. Understood?
