Rodolphus waited patiently at the apparition point he'd chosen to use to get into Hogsmeade, polyjuiced into a nondescript young man he'd met in Cardiff years ago. He had false papers would stand up to scrutiny for at least this one night but he was aware that this was a dangerous option he'd chosen. Still, he did not intend to take long so it should be fine. It was a risk but a calculated one.

He walked forward when the Auror waved to him and handed over his papers. He was amused when the Auror barely glanced at his papers and him before waving him on. He didn't argue though and made his way through Hogsmeade to Romilda's home, making a mental note to thank Orla for finding out that piece of information. Once he got there, he walked up to the front door but paused when he heard raised voices inside. Romilda's was easy enough to recognise but it took him a moment to place the other one as Miles.

Well, well, wasn't that interesting... not to mention convenient. Miles would make an effective scapegoat for what he was about to do though he doubted the Aurors would be able to charge him. He smiled slightly then wandered back over the road, checking in either direction before fading into the shadows between two of the houses. He quickly cast a Disillusionment spell over himself and settled down to wait.

It wasn't long before the front door was flung open and Miles stormed out of the house and down the street. Rodolphus waited until he was out of sight then he removed the Disillusionment spell and walked over to Romilda's house. He drew her wand, hiding it at his side, then knocked on the door.
