(Event for Eol) A Strange Order

[Lucius Malfoy]

A major order comes in from outside the country asking for your entire stock, the man will pay ten times the price, however wants it delivered by hand. Something seems suspicious...

[Eöl]

Gregory sends a message back saying that he is happy to deliver the service. He only wants to know where he can deliver it and if half of the payment can be done before the delivery, which is a normal procedure for such a big investment of time and effort. He thanks again and says he is happy to deliver future services for a discount.

[Lucius Malfoy]

A message arrives in response with half the payment and the address. It was located in Antwerp, Belgium...near the Statue of Brabo to the East.

[Eöl]

Gregory traveled to Antwerp. He was happy that this mysterious person wanted to meet in a crowded place, as he felt safer this way. Still he had his wand ready to be taken in his jeans, because he was wearing muggle clothing, but at the same time covered to not insult the customer.
He pushed a shopping trolley in front of him, loaded with books. The books were in such a mess and with so many in total that the pile of books, almost reaching up to 3 metres high from the bottom of the trolley, was swaying from left to right like a jelly pudding being shaking, only not falling because he had put a little binding charm on it. He saw many muggles standing still to look at him, while he pushed the trolley. He came to the conclusion that all his measurements to not draw attention hadn't worked because of that one little spell.
He pushed on and saw the statue of Brabo. He went past it and walked further. He went east, into a big street with old houses. The street was slowly narrowing down and made a small left curve. At an intersection he stood still.

[Lucius Malfoy]

A couple of men came out, wands drawn as an elderly individual approached Gregory with a cane. He came over and approached the books, examining them.

Hmmmm...seems you got the whole packet here. Do not mind my guards.

He strokes his winkled face as the elderly man shifts through the pile.

[Eöl]

Gregory became extra careful, but he remembered that he was in a busy street, filled with muggles and possibly some wizards as well. He also knew that wizards of the Flemish ministery of magic would be here in seconds if something might happen, so he was nervous, but not frightened.
'May I ask how I got the honour of getting this order?' said Gregory politely.

[Lucius Malfoy]

The elder approaches Gregory and shows a symbol that was under his cloak...Grindelwald's symbol! The elder laughs lightly and examines the purchase.

I just wanted to be...helpful to an old friend. I knew your father before your family fled for England.

He waves to his guards. One takes the cart away as the elder stands there with another one.

I would gladly take you under arrest...but too public of an area. The Flemish Ministry would know of my existence. Oh well.

[Eöl]

Gregory became pale and thought about the memories he wanted to forget. He then said: 'My original name is Grauhausen. Perhaps you remember that name? i am Greyhouse now though and I live in England.'

[Lucius Malfoy]

The elder turns and looks at Gregory.

Grauhausen...I do remember your father, good sir. I do remember him well.

[Eöl]

'There is nothing more I can do for you besides selling you books today and or the future. So please, lets finish the transaction before the Flemish ministry pops up. I have a clean record now, which I don't want to ruin.'

[Lucius Malfoy]

The elder snaps his fingers as a guard comes over and gives him a heap of Galleons.

Here you go.

[Eöl]

'Thank you very much sir. Let us hope we meet again soon.' said Gregory, while he hoped he would never see the man again. Certainly not in England.
