[Locked from Tom Riddle/Unhackable]

[Raphael, even from the first frame of the video, is clearly not a happy camper. There's too much tension around her mouth, her jaw gritted too tightly, like she's one annoyance away from punching somebody.]

Adstringendum, I have a question for you. [Deadly serious, even compared to normal.] What do you know about Tom Riddle?

[Locked to the angels/unhackable]

[Her demeanor changes further- tense, the annoyance erupting into obvious murderous anger that she doesn't even bother trying to hide.]

Hello, brothers. My first encounter with this event was on Sunday morning, when I was switched with Tom Riddle.

[The kids watching at home might notice a distinct lack of a chain around her neck, meaning a distinct lack of Castiel's Grace. She shifts her shoulders like an angry cat and continues.]

He has taken Castiel's Grace and, with it, made a declaration of war. He saw fit to inform me that any attempt to take back what is not his would serve as such. [Lip curling slightly.] He called it our only warning. Evidently the city needs to be freed of us.

I do not know much about him, only that he is extremely dangerous and twisted. His soul did not feel intact. I have full confidence that he will do something disgusting to it- weaponize it, most likely.

If he has his way it would be. [A beat. The workings of the Wizarding World was something he could say, so he shrugged.] Wizards were persecuted by Muggles--erm, nonmagical folk-- ages ago. They went into hiding and formed their own government away from Muggles. Riddle wants to get rid of all folk who aren't magical or from magical families. It's sick.

[Ron scowled. So far most things were safe to go on, but he was wary.] There's loads they could do. Depends on how much he wants it, I reckon.

Doesn't matter what you are to me, y'know. Or what you can do. It's Riddle I'm worried about and anyone bothering to muck about with him.

What I am should concern you. I spent my infancy forming stars and fashioning nebulas before I could walk.

The only danger Riddle poses is that I do not know his magic. Once I know it, I will easily evade it and put this threat to rest.

He has stolen from us. Riddle means to use the thing as a weapon. I assure you that everybody you are attached to here are at risk.

As a soldier, I understand secrecy. I also understand strategy and alliance. I have less than no reason to use my knowledge against you or those you care about. [Eying him up and down.] I have better things to do.

Doesn't matter what you are, especially here. You're no better than anyone else.

Yeah? Do realize there's loads more to magic than talking about it for a few minutes, don't you? Takes years for us to learn what we do.

[And he scowls, lips down turned in a bemused fashion as he goes over what's said. After a moment, he shakes his head.] Brilliant. [It's said sarcastically, of course.] Fine, go on, then.

Try to listen to what I said. I said nothing about superiority and everything about the advantage of having somebody very powerful be in your debt.

[Jeez why doesn't everyone speak Raphael. 8| ]

Very well. A complex discipline though it may be, I only need to know a few things. First, how a powerful wizard may hide himself and something he values very, very highly.

Second, the most common offensive magic used in attacks against powerful opponents.
