Elijah opened his mouth to speak but then closed it immediately. How did he know I was clutching my wand? he thought. He loosened his grip and slowly took both hands out of his pocket. His eyes shot up as he heard a familiar name. "McLaggen..." he repeated. "As in... Lucinda McLaggen?" he'd half hopped he was wrong, but how many Lucinda McLaggen's could there possibly be? He couldn't help but crack a slight smile; clearly this man wasn't too fond of Kay's aunt either. But why would he be concerned with her...

Elijah looked at Maximus Vindictus' hand for a moment, before reaching out and shaking it. "Erm... nice to meet you," he said. "I'm Elijah... Young." he added.
