Millicent Bulstrode let herself into Adler manor with the key Wolfgang had given her. They'd only been together a month and a half but it had gotten serious fast. The day they met she was with Blaise and Kereston shopping in Knockturn Alley for books. Kereston, a year ahead of she and Blaise in school, and Blaise himself were the only two people who knew Millicent's dumb act was just that. They'd grown up together so they knew Millicent before she'd put her carefully crafted dumb act into play.

Point was it was nice to hang with friends who just knew who she was. No pretending, no not saying what she thought unlike with Malfoy and his goons. They were necessary, but not people she enjoyed so her pissy attitude was one thing she didn't have to fake in their presence. Millicent had decided early on at Hogwarts that if she pretended to be dumb people expected very little of her plus people tended to let useful and interesting info drop around those they believed too thick to truly comprehend it. She believed that if Malfoy and his boys believed she was one of them, she'd be safe no matter what sort of shit hit the fan. So she played her contrived roll and very well if she said so herself...which she did.

Not until she met Wolfgang did she actually care that someone may not find her attractive. In school she made a point to wear slouchy clothes and allow her hair to hang in her face like a curtain behind which she could hide. The day she met Wolfgang, however, she was mortified not to be wearing a pretty dress with her hair up. The fact she wanted a guy to notice her was shocking enough, but the fact he actually did notice her and really liked her was even more shocking than that!

Even now, she still couldn't believe the dashing handsome half giant wanted her. He wasn't big and squat like stupid Hagrid either, he was tall and medium of build, wide shoulders, neatly tailored clothes, well groomed and just hot, hot, hot! And though she was bigger than any of the girls in her class, when she stood beside him she looked dainty.

The fact she was about to see him still made her pulse race, though they had been a couple for a few months. She gave a dreamy sigh, touching her long dark hair to make sure it remained in place. She'd put fancy Victorian hair combs into the sides to sweep it off of her face. They were her mother's combs and Ali Bulstrode had shown her how to use them recently, and thus far they'd even remained in place!

Doing girlie things like using hair combs wasn't something Millicent generally had any part of. It would totally screw up her carefully crafted dumb act if she looked too good. She didn't want to be noticed but when she tried, she was really pretty. Tall, like an Amazon, she had a strong build but she wasn't overweight and her curves were definitely feminine. This was plain to see if she didn't wear loose baggy clothes and today she wore a flowing form fitting green summer dress. It looked great with the ornate gold combs in her dark hair and the emerald and gold necklace Wolfgang had recently given her.

Hurrying down the hall she paused with her hand on the door of the library before opening it.
"It's me," she called. "They just went to work so I came right over."
The afore mentioned 'they' were her parents who were being right pains in the arse. Though they worked with Wolfgang, and had met him and learned of his strikes against Voldemort through her, felt the couple was moving too fast and tried to keep Millicent at home more. They worked long hours at the ministry so she could generally do what she liked without them knowing. They liked Wolfgang, and supported his efforts to band dark wizards together to work against Voldemort in the shadows where it was relatively safe. They obviously trusted him and believed in what he was trying to do, so it was Millicent's strong opinion that they should be pleased he cared about their daughter as well. They should be happy for Millicent and leave off the take it slow rubbish because when she and Wolfgang were together the world was a wonderful place.

Opening the door to the library she strolled in to see Grindelwald already sitting there. Damn, Bramble was fast and she'd missed the arrival. She studied the infamous/famous dark wizard, thinking for an old guy he seemed well preserved. He was thin, but his blue eyes were clear and his mind appeared sharp. A mop of long white hair hung down his back and a matching beard lay against the tattered robes that covered his chest. He held himself straight, though, as though he hadn't just gotten out of a fifty year stint in solitary. Yeah he could still be dangerous, Millicent decided. His hair could use a comb and he could probably do with a bath or three. She would've offered him all that but she figured he should take the potion first and at least she hadn't missed that.

The idea of watching someone get younger before her very eyes was pretty exciting. Smirking she remembered how hard Snape had bitched about the illegal youthening potion last night. The trifling git was so scared he'd go to Azkaban for making such an illegal thing no matter the reason were he found out. Mainly because the Ministry were even Bigger Gits than Snape. He was overly nice to all Slytherins save for Millicent herself whom he falsely believed to be stupid and so an embarrassment to his house. He didn't even seem to dislike Crabb and Goyle, who definitely weren't faking their stupidity, so why her? It wasn't fair and that was why she didn't like him. Worst professor ever!

Even when he found out she was faking it to keep under the Voldemort radar, he was no nicer to her. She wouldn't have ever let him know that she wasn't stupid had her parents not suggested him as one of those who may wish to be a part of what Wolfgang was doing. Seeing Snape in the summer was just weird. And the fact he was supposed to be so brilliant yet didn't appreciate her own brilliance was frankly disgusting. She believed her dumb act allowed her anonymity+ people said a lot around someone they believed to be stupid. It could be very useful, so there!

It was alright, though, because she'd decided not to return to Hogwarts for her 7th year. Shit was getting too real. Wolfgang had asked her to marry him and she was going to then she'd live here. No one could tell her what to do when she was mistress of her own manor. Two if you counted his other one in Germany. Her parents would adjust. He was older than she, but they didn't mind that. He was 28 to her 17, but she was of age and they did like him and respect what he was doing. They just thought the couple was moving too fast but Millicent didn't care.

Before Wolfgang or Grindelwald could respond to her entrance, a howler arrived for Wolfgang from the git himself. As though Millicent thinking well deserved snarky thoughts of Snape had summoned him somehow, she thought with an inner shudder. She listened along with the others as his voice filled the room, though.
"Something has come up. We're having a meeting at Hogwarts and you're needed. After Grindelwald gets the potion, bring him along. He can eat here. We will meet in the great hall in half an hour but feel free to arrive early."

Millicent felt her entire body go stiff and cold. This had to be about Voldemort. Though Wolfgang and how he was striking against Voldemort did make her feel safer, the idea of Voldemort was still terrifying. She looked between Grindelwald and her husband to be and silently reminded herself that with enough bad ass wizards on her side everything would be alright. It had to be, right?
