Lucius Malfoy threw the latest music magazine he'd read across his desk and yelled out a frustrated scream, making his most trusted assistant, Severus Snape dashed in to his office to find out what happen to his boss. The greasy haired man found out his boss still screaming like a lunatic and wrecked his own office in aggravation.

"You better have a good reason for this." muttered Severus as he eyed the platinum haired man and the havoc in Lucius's office in annoyance. "Cost for cleaning service is quite expensive these days."

Severus's words were replied with Lucius wailed and ended with Lucius banging his head on his wooden desk, desperately. Severus rolled his eyes seeing his boss acted like a five-year-old kid. Lucius did this a lot when he got upset, either about his family or about business. Mostly about business.

"What if you damage this paper, huh? Or else, lost these record deals. These papers cost this company million dollars, Mr. Malfoy! You should learn how to control your temper, because this started to make me feel like I'm babysitting an overgrown baby, honestly. " Severus asked in utter annoyance as he bend down and grabbed some papers, collecting them. He walked over toward Lucius's desk and putted those papers back on the desk. "What is it now?" Severus asked the fraught producer. His voice softens.

Lucius, with his head still against the desk, pointed weakly toward the discarded magazine he'd just read few minutes ago. Severus grasped the magazine and read the headline, knowing what made his boss so depress and mad at the same time.

"Those bastards…" muttered Lucius. "Why the press loves them so much, I don't understand!"

"'The Marauders' earned five Grammies on last night Grammy Awards…" Severus read the headline on the front page of the magazine. "Hmm… They even have an exclusive interview and profile about them." Severus heard Lucius groaned as he turned the pages, trying to find where the interview is. "Ah. There you go." The black haired man read the article for himself for a while and putted the magazine back on the desk when he finished.

"Well?" demanded Lucius. He lifted his head from the table and looked straight into Severus's eyes. "Now you know what I'm upset about…"

Severus rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, you know Skeeter. She didn't write her article base on the real event. She sometimes, I mean most of the time, messes up with the truth by adding or removing one or two things in her article to make it look good and interesting."

"I know, but the readers like it. Which mean, most of the music lovers in this country had known my rivalry with Tom 'freaking' Riddle and his stupid recording company, and I failed with shame. Hell, even the entire world knows about my stupidity." Lucius banged his head once more on the wooden table. "Let alone the other competitors… They will think that I'm a stupid producer for trying to fight back Riddle."

"We're not losing that much…"

"How many band have we hired to crash that 'Marauders', huh?" asked Lucius, lifting his head once more.

"Umm…"

"Exactly." Lucius stood from his seat and rubbed his temple, facing the huge window where he could see the view of tall buildings of New York. "We've lost so much that we couldn't even remembers. Riddle introduced his precious Marauders to the world with their debut album to crush my leading band at that time and he succeeded. If he can destroy mine, why can't I destroy his?!"

"The time will come eventually." said Severus, not knowing what to say. "But we managed to turn that Pettigrew into a drug user and he ended up in a rehab until now!"

"Yes, we manage that." Lucius sighed, lighting up his cigarette. "But their star dimmed only for few months and they got even famous when they came back."

"So… what would you do now, Mr. Malfoy?" asked Severus.

Lucius took a deep breathe and closed his eyes, trying to gain his composure. "If we want to crush 'Marauders', then we have to crush Potter and Lupin at the same time. Make them suffer, by neither media nor the critics so their fans will leave them. No fans then they'll kick out of this industry. I'm sick of losing from Riddle and face him every gathering or launching to hear him taunting me."

Severus stood silence as he once again witnessed his boss's guarantee of destroying 'Marauders' and Riddle's recording company, 'Voldemort'. Usually, this will end up with Severus open up an audition for new singer or band, but that idea didn't come out from Lucius. He finally realize that by audition didn't bring victory to his company. Not just from audition, they had try to find a potential singer and band from café to café, from one show to another, but still those bands and singers ended up losing from Riddle's most precious band. However, today, Severus had an idea for his boss's problem.

"You know what?" Severus rummaged the growing pile of papers he'd just collected from the floor after Lucius's temper tantrum. "I just have a solution for our problem," He pulled out a paper from the pile and showed it to Lucius.

Lucius received the paper from Severus. His brows knitted when he read the first line of the paper. "Why are you giving me my cousin's letter?"

"He said that he sings in London and has huge fans!" said Severus, pointing on the letter where said about 'singing in London' and 'chased by frenzied fans'. "Perhaps, if we ask, no, contract your cousin, we can beat that 'Marauders'!"

"Hmm…" Lucius read the letter once again. The letter from his cousin just arrived this morning and he read it on the ride to office. The letter telling him about his cousin's life as a singer in London and has fans, showing that he's quite successful in London. "Are you sure about this, Severus? He's quite annoying sometimes…"

"You want to beat 'Marauders' and Riddle's sneering, right?"

Lucius nodded.

"Then hire your cousin! Call him to come to New York and bring his demo. I can test him if you want."

"Hmm…" Lucius looked hesitant from Severus's idea. He knew how his cousin sings. He sang very well. He had this thick deep baritone voice. He also had a handsome face that could make the girls go nuts. Lucius knew the potential cousin of his and he started to believe that by hired his cousin, he could beat the crap out of Riddle. Perhaps, he could help Lucius from crisis. Perhaps, Lucius could be the one who sneering, jeering, and taunting on Riddle's face when he met him. Perhaps…

There was lot of other perhaps in Lucius's mind, making the said platinum haired man became nausea by his own thought. There was a bubbly feeling in his stomach about the idea of hiring his cousin to work for him. This could be it, he thought. The time for Riddle and his oh-so-mighty Marauders to bend on Lucius's feet, defeated.

"Sir?"

Lucius turned around his heels, heading toward his desk. He grabbed his cell phone and dialed a number. He waited for a while until the one he was calling picked up his called.

"Hi, it's me, Lucius. I know, I barely call you, but I promise you it'll worth your entire life. I just read your letter this morning and this idea struck me. Since you're quite famous in England, why don't you move out here to New York and record an album under my label? What say you, Sirius?"
