'Meet me at the old abandoned shop on the west side of Knockturn alley. There are things we need to discuss.
Elaine' 

Short, sweet and to the point--no one was ever going to accuse Elaine Dupree of being the kind of girl who never shut up. As a matter of fact -- some wished she would say a few more words then she did. But alas it was what it was. And now she was waiting in the old spooky storefront for the others to show up.

There weren't many of them. Four to be precise. But they were four people whom she trusted enough (or well as much as Elaine could trust somebody anyways) to help her in her ventures without screwing it up or blowing their cover of innocence. They all had the same basic ideals after all (though they showed it in different ways). There was a few faces she did not know of very well due to not having met them often (if at all) and then a few faces she knew very well. Desirae was her right hand woman and someone Elaine could honestly call a friend. Yeah we're surprised too but even Elaine could have a friend and so she knew the other woman would show up. And she definitely knew Theodorus and how HE was and so she could count on him showing up as well--cause he just loved a fight and if he thought there would be a fight involved then she could get him to do most anything. Such a silly boy--he thought he was on top when really he wasn't. But she continued to let him think that--it made him easier to manipulate after all. 

The Slytherin sighed as she continued to wait--there was a lot on her mind. There were several things that had to be taken care of during this little get together. Number on on her list was figuring out a way to get rid of Professor Eielson. That noisy charms professor was on to her and she couldn't -- no wouldn't tolerate a teacher knowing what she was up to. She wasn't worried about poor little Ethan Johnson --- he had taken the unbreakable vow and would die and long, tortuous and slow death if he opened his mouth. The professor was not under such limitations and would tell everyone if he knew for sure that she was up to no good (he didn't seem to know for sure as of now and that was probably why he was keeping quiet).All the work she put into covering these things up---they would all be ruined! She could not have that! 

And of course there were other things---normal things for her to be thinking about. Killing muggles--establishing pureblood supremacy--taking out anyone who got in their way--yeah the 'normal' stuff. Well normal if you were a psychopath like her. But that was neither here nor there.

For now she was stuck in the waiting game---which she despised. She was a very patience woman on most things but waiting for other people was not one of them. They had best not keep her waiting too long...

Theodorus moved through Knockturn Alley with all the casual ease he would through Hogwarts itself. The street, even today known for being dangerous and attracting unsavory sorts, held no secrets or fears for the oldest Nott child. He could even recall his first visit here—at the age of ten, he'd been sent to the very end of the alley, with a bag of gold he could barely carry one-armed, and told to purchase an artifact at the end of the alley and bring it back. He'd fought off seven muggers and was bleeding badly by the time he left the alley—but he'd successfully brought the artifact. It had been meant to be a lesson for Theo that he was vulnerable, that he still lacked strength and experience. He had been meant to fail, to lose the gold and be badly harmed. But he had not, much to the consternation of his tutors. When he and his father found out, Theodore had dismissed and replaced them, fully aware that Theodorus would never again respect or heed them.

But he was a child no more. Where before, he'd had to fight his way through here, to prove he was more dangerous than his age suggested, now he had no trouble. His size, his name, the ferocity in his eyes, all served to clear a path before him without effort. He strode all the way down the alley, aware that the empty shop that Elaine had chosen was the very one he'd bought that artifact from. Idly, he wondered if anyone might actually try mugging him.

Or if they'd be good enough for him to enjoy the meeting.

Alas, no such thing happened, though he did note with amusement that the shop, already isolated from the other buildings, was being given a wide berth. There was a menacing feeling to it, no doubt an enchantment meant to scare off those not aware that they had been requested to be here. Well...Elaine had meant it as a command, no doubt. But Theo saw it as a request, to be ignored if he chose. He came because it might be interesting, but if it wasn't, he might just not show up to the next one. If nothing else, Desirae would be here, and she could certainly keep his attention for awhile. As he reached the door, he heard a masculine voice within...reciting...poetry? He opened the door, looking around. Elaine was here, along with a smaller boy with heavily scarred arms.

Theo blinked.

Then wild laughter burst from his mouth, echoing around the room. “Your own personal bard, Princess?” he asked, grinning wolfishly as he crossed over toward her, stopping directly in front of her. The memory of their last duel was still fresh in his mind. He doubted any other student at the school could get him serious enough to draw both wands, but she'd done it. He was a little surprised they hadn't killed each other, in the end, rather than relent, but he wasn't particularly interested in dying himself, and he suspected Elaine feared her own mortality far more than he feared his. Certainly the classroom hadn't survived the encounter. So he grinned down at her, halfway out of personal amusement, halfway to see if she'd pick up the fight they'd abandoned. “I knew your ego was big, but I had no idea it was THAT bad.”

He walked over to the old countertop, blasted the dust off with a casual flick of his wand, and laid down on it, legs below his knees dangling off the side, hands folded behind his head. “I do hope you have something to relieve my boredom, Princess. That was, after all, the deal we made.”

Knockturn Alley, what a lovely surprise!

At receiving Elaines message, Desi giggled excitedly and made her way to the shop in question. She took her time to make sure to wear her dark green robes, her hair was curly and messy and her eyes ignited with excitement. She left her home, easily making her way to the shop and even grinning at or blowing kisses to the passerbys in Diagon Alley. Her parents were well known enough that most of the scum knew she wasn't to be touched, though she still had her wand at the ready as she skipped through before finding the meeting place.

She had missed Alucards poetry, sadly, but she was thrilled to see Theo lying on the table, ready to be pounced. "Alucard, aren't you dashing," she said, throwing a wink in the Slytherins direction as she crossed to Elaine, kissing her on both cheeks. "I hope little Matty comes. He is in need of some good old fashioned dirty business," she chuckled before turning to Theo and biting her lip, crossing over to him and lifting herself to sit on the table beside where he was laying. She leaned down, trailing his chest with her fingers, "somebody looks like they're ready to be served for dinner," she mused.

Aw, the joys of being a psycho.

She leaned away from him, moving her arms to place on the opposite side of his torso that she was sitting on so that her arms and back made a sort of arch over him. She turned to Elaine with a little pout, "what's the big discussion, boss? Do we get to play too?" she asked, giving a sort of little growl in Alucards direction before turning quickly back to Elaine as if nothing had happened.

So, Cassius was invited by the apparent 'Purifiers' recruiter, Desirae Rosseau, to meet the villain at large and join there ranks. It took some time for Desirae to trust him enough to know that he should be a part of the team, but eventually she did come around to visiting him in the Hospital Wing often, slowly gaining clues and finally deciding to invite him to this meeting.

He followed the directions Desi gave him to the shop where this little meeting was to take place. It was kind of adorable, how organized they were, but he was hoping the group wouldn't do too many scheduled meetings in the future. He needed to be out there, causing trouble, watching the world disintegrate. Ah, what a beautiful sight.

He knocked on the door until someone magically opened it from afar. He stepped in, flashing a dashing smile at the group and giving Desirae a little eyebrow raise in greeting. He turned toward Elaine, "Miss Dupree. I'm to understand that you're the person I'll be reporting to from now on?" casual, collected on the outside while his mind was racing with the crazy excitement to get his hands dirty.

"I can assure you I'm more than qualified to help you out. I'm a healer, as you know, but am unafraid to use what I've learned in... well, the opposite way," he smiled wider, slipping his hand back to shut the door behind him.

And then they started to come.

Alucard was first and in that strange way of his -- he announced his arrival. He was useful and he knew a lot but good god was he strange. Why did he feel the need to be a bard and sing most everything--well it would be beyond her. She was never one for understanding things like that. Of course there was a lot in the world that she didn't understand (mostly on the goody two shoes side of things) but that was beyond the point. She simply let it by because she wasn't sure how to respond to it. I mean really what was she supposed to say? It baffled her. And queen? Seriously? While it was nice there was really no necessity to calling her the queen. Even if she was the leader of the pack--she would rather be seen as the alpha then the queen. And so a part of her still mentally stutter stepped as such a title. Huh she supposed that they could call her queen when they finished their jobs and cleansed the wizarding world.

One being who did not baffle her was Theo. He walked in and was his normal cocky and sarcastic and egocentric being. Again and not for the first time she wondered why she put up with him. But she knew the answer to that already. He had strength. He also had knowledge. And he had the desire to fight. It was probably the only reason he decided to join the group--but as long as he fought and he didn't betray them and screw things up -- then she would deal with him. "Oh please...he just came that way. I can't help it." she sarcastically joked as the blonde made a comment about her "having her own bard". "And your ego hasn't shrunk either my dear." she retorted to his comment about her ego size. Hah! Who was he to talk? That was the kettle calling the cauldron black there. But that was all to be said about that for now. She did not give in to the desire to egg him on. There were much more important matters at hand.

Desirae came in next followed by this nurse guy. Desi had spoke of him and said that he would be of help. "Yes I am the leader of the group" she responded as he asked if she was the one he's be reporting to for lack of a better term. He said he was qualified and she nodded, "Yes as I suppose you are if you are a nurse." she said simply. She would be watching him. Watching him to see if his words spoke true. After all they said actions spoke louder then words. And there were plenty of words to be said right now -- but not about that.

She had hoped Mathieu would show but he was a no show and they had simply too much to talk about to wait around for him any longer, "Ahh if Matty wants to join in -- he'll just have to catch up later. For now though we have important business to attend to. Someone is too close to the truth. Our truth. They are too close to finding us out. And that just will not do. And so -- who wants to help me take him out?" she said with a mischievous look on her face and a smirk on her lips. It was going to be too much fun taking him out -- but they had to come up with a plan.

And plan they would ....

Theo merely laughed when Elaine accused him of having an ego as big as hers. Few people understood their strengths, abilities, and limits like Theodorus Nott. What most people considered an ego was merely confidence in his own skill. Confidence that he could, and had, backed up, many times in fact. But Elaine…Elaine fancied herself a queen, a dark savior, and seemed not to consider how often and how recently that particular bid for power had failed. He might almost think her crazy for believing she was a match for people like Harry Potter and his friends at her age, except Harry Potter and his friends had been Elaine’s age when they matched Lord Voldemort. So it was certainly possible, but he had his doubts nonetheless. Certainly, she was no match for them in a straight fight, but she had successfully avoided that so far.

Desirae was the next to arrive. As usual, her words were as smooth as honey, but even though he didn’t expect her to bite, Theo could tell there was venom underneath all the sweetness. Still, so long as she didn’t try to manipulate him, they could continue to remain friendly…and physical. He smirked at her words when her fingers ran along his chest. “Funny enough, you look hungry,” he responded.

He chose to ignore the sadist’s poor attempt at humor—or intimidation, it was hard to tell what he was going for sometimes—as Desirae draped herself over him. Fingers trailed up her spine to the base of her neck, then he slowly trailed them around her neck, the rest of his hand following, only to slip down the collar of her robes as the next guest arrived.

Hogwarts staff? That was a dangerous game to play. Those who betrayed the castle were seldom treated with anything resembling decency. If this guy was caught, well, his life was pretty much over immediately. Finally, Elaine got around to explaining the purpose of this meeting. Someone was close to figuring her out. Yes, her. For all her talk, Elaine had done nothing since Theo arrived at the castle. Strictly speaking, his hands were still entirely clean. He didn’t have anything to lose by her being caught now, personally speaking.

But then he wouldn’t get the war he craved.

“Depends on who it is. I don’t take boring fights, Princess.”

Desi didn't react as Theo stroked her spine and played at her robes. She smiled as Cassius arrived, her newest little recruit. It was a risky move, for sure, but they needed someone with his... skill, not too mention his connections. Desi would need someone to stay behind at the school next year and Cassius was a pretty good choice. Desi raised an eyebrow at Elaine as she talked about taking someone out. She was pretty sure she had a good idea as to who it was. She turned to face Theo, "well, it's a professor so that's a pretty decent fight-you'd hope," she said with a little smirk. She was a lover, not a fighter, and didn't expect to have much to do within this plan.

"Well, Cass-I mean Nurse Leonato," she chuckled, "should probably stay out of this one. Which leaves you two," she raised an eyebrow in Alucards directions before facing Elaine once more. "Boy against boys then, eh? We'll need something to draw him away... something like, a student in peril?" that would work best and little Zachary, after all.

Betrayer of Secrets

'Meet me at the old abandoned shop on the west side of Knockturn alley. There are things we need to discuss.
Elaine'

The note read as Adalyn looked over it, wondering what her leader needed and decided to slip away from her studies in Slytherin, her robes straightened up as she felt like she needed to look proper for the meeting that would take place at the alley. Her icy blue eyes kept an eye out in case some teachers would stop her from escaping as it was a little late, but it seemed important, this meeting might have some things much to be discussed with, what things that is the question, only their leader does.

The air was nice and cool as her footsteps walked the ground leading to where the direct location took place, her heart racing at the mere thought of betraying people by exploiting their secrets, this was a game for her as she never knew just how desperate people were for her to keep her loose lips shut tightly. 

Adalyn's footsteps quickened as she neared the destination, her cold eyes trailing over everyone, locating her sister and smiled wickedly before bowing down to her boss before speaking, "You granted my presence, well here I am, ready to play whatever games you have in store for us." Her wicked smile widened at the mere thoughts of feeling powerful of having everyone begging and pleading her to not tell whoever their secrets were about. The way of her life is easy and quick, she loves the power she has over everyone, so the eagerness of playing the sick twisted games her boss might have in store for her, she really needed some new secrets to exploit to everyone and anyone who dares stand in her way, her feet lead her to Desirae's side and wraps an arm around her, her once wicked smile gracing her lips became softer and warm as the love for her two sisters overpower her cold exterior.

Cass chuckled and rolled his eyes as Desi corrected herself in saying his name. There really was a time and a place for that sort of thing, and a baddie meeting didn't really seem the place for last names. Still, he couldn't help but like the way it sounded. She had a point though. As a staff member he was basically worthless in any sort of offense. He could easily be there to aid them with healing in secret, but openly hurting anyone wouldn't be a logical choice. No, he was there to use his healing skills and as a quiet investigator on the staff and other students.

It seemed as though Alucard was the one who would be handling the luring away of this Professor, which seemed natural enough. The guy gave off an... interesting vibe. One that made Cassius smile. If there was any group that was to stir up trouble and cause a little chaos, it was this one.

As Desiraes sister entered the room, Cass felt a strange turn in his stomach. She was in the same house and year as Ondina, meaning that she shared a room with the blonde. The thought almost distracted Cass for a moment, but he pulled himself back, turning to Elaine for her next words... or to whoever else would speak up next.

"It's settled then. Alucard, pick some victim- I could really care less who. As for the Professor..." she growled, "Eielson, Charms Professor. I need this taken care of as soon as possible, understood? We can afford to be found out right now..." she said with a little scowl stuck on her face. No, she didn't have time to deal with that right now. She was still trying to be secretive. She was excited for the day when she'd reveal herself, but there was no way she could do that under Longbottoms nose. No, the entire Hogwarts staff was rather apt at taking them on. She may be vain and selfish, but she wasn't stupid. All the Professors against her and her little band of friends? No, that wasn't something that she thought would end well for them.

Now, once her outside help came in the picture... well, things would be different then.

"I'm leaving you two to handle this. Kill the student if you want to, I don't care. As for the Rousseaus," she raised an eyebrow at the sisters, who were both rather close to Theo on the table, "we need more numbers, but don't be stupid about it- obviously. Find those who feel the way we do and let them know that there is something to be done, and it's beginning here, with us. We will Purify the world of mugglesborns and halfbloods. We will cleanse the wizarding world from mingling with muggles," and that's when it hit her. 'Death Eater' was such a tacky name, and so ugly. She smirked, they could be called the Purifiers. "Tell them that we call ourselves 'The Purifiers'. The name makes our cause clear which will bring in more of us, but it also has the power to instill fear in our enemies."

(this thread can end now, unless anyone else has anything to say. I'm not sure who was supposed to come up with the Purifier nickname, so if someone else was supposed to just lemme know but there's that.)
