"Have to have some kind of party for you both soon," he winked. Oh, how he'd love that.

But yes, onto the more serious, work stuff. Cult? "Vaguely, yes. Although I don't know enough to give you a full description of what they're all about, I must admit." Leaning back, Gabe crossed his arms and furrowed his brow. Now he really WAS interested.
Nodding his head he smiled crookedly at Gabe and then chuckled. "Yeah, that's her. Indeed. Gemini," he said softly. The idea of a party brought him chuckling harder still. "Sure, why not... sure I can be jovial enough for one evening, eh?" Not likely.

After getting comfortable, Frankie sat forward ready to listen up. She was NOT expecting what she heard next. "Oh my! Damien, congratulations!" She was too dumbfounded to say much else. And this wasn't the time to give him grief over not telling her before. They were here for business.

Trying to keep her shocked expression relaxed, Frankie chose to simply answer the man's question. "I've been keeping my ear to the wall but I haven't heard much. What are they about, Damien?"

Laughing at her he shook his head. "No one hugged you after I left? Is that it? What a shame. I would have stuck around for hugs," he said with a great snort. Then he nodded his head in thanks to her congratulations.

Now. Down to business.

"From what we understand... Borr and the other members of the Ministry appointed by him are indeed members of the Cult of Walpurgis. They have infiltrated our Ministry and have been turning things upside down from the inside." Pausing for a moment to summon forward the bottle of Firewhisky and a glass he sighed.

"The basis is supposed to be something about ridding the world of the Statute of Secrecy and for Wizarding kind to help Muggles... with everything from cures to illnesses to environmental protection. Hence the new Department," he said dryly as he poured the glass full.

If that was their only worry... "What concerns us is that since this campaign has started in our midst... there have been crimes of violence against mainly shopkeepers in Wizarding Britain. One from Godric's Hollow even... not just kidnappings, deaths have been reported as well."

Sobering news.
