You were pacing around the open living room. It felt like you have been doing it for years even though it had only been a few minutes. The silence was disturbing and tense.

Your three roommates, James, Sirius and Remus were sitting on the large and fancy couch at the opposite of a man claiming he wanted to do business and alliance with them instead of conflict.

Two of his men standing not far behind him trying to look intimidating which was clearly not working with at least 8 of your roommate’s men standing around the big room, especially in front of the doors and veranda leading to the pool then to the old rock stairs to go down to the private beach surrounding the villa.
