-two days before the attack- Desirae was causally waiting in the hallway outside of the Hospital Wing. With the help of her spiders, she had come to know that Ondina came and went from there a lot. Because of her asthma obviously. But Desi knew better. She also knew that the little Weasley was the one who stated the rumors against Albus. The rumors that he had knocked that tower down because he was actually trying to kill her. Classic. Desi could respect that kind of malice and gumption and decided it was about time to put that power to good use... Ondina was good at blending in, unlike most of the Purifiers. Plus, the group needed more members who would still be students next year to hang around and watch things from inside Hogwarts. They had Cassius and Matty, of course, but they needed someone a little more... gentle. A little more subtle but all around a little more evil. Desirae had deducted that Ondina was the perfect candidate. She saw the blonde leaving the hospital wing and smiled, giving her a small wave. "Ondina. Desirae Rousseau. Do you have a second to chat?"Ondina Nell Weasley

Ondina had been with Cassius.
The two had become unnaturally adept at finding the perfect opportunities to spend time together. Today had been extremely quiet in the Hospital Wing, and Cassius’ boss was out running errands. That was another thing Ondina had mastered, knowing Miss Blacksmith’s schedule. She’d also learned when their busiest times of the day were, along with the number of students currently in the healers’ watchful care. Even with all this though, their stolen moments together were always to short. To brief. And left her angry and frustrated when they had to part.
She was just slipping out of the Hospital Wing when she heard her name from someone she’d never thought would address her. Desirae Rousseau. Sure, Ondina was friends with Desirae’s sister, but that didn’t mean Ondina interacted with the older girl. In fact, they’d had little interaction since the Rousseau girls transferred to Hogwarts. And Ondina found that sour mood turn to curiosity. ”I know who you are. You’re Adalyn’s sister.” She responded, changing direction to approach the Ravenclaw girl.

"Ah, she is my sister," Desi said. As soon as the girl reached her, Desi gestured ahead and began walking. "We'll need to talk in private, if you don't mind," after another twenty feet or so a door opened beside them and Desi gestured for Ondina to go first. The foor had already been protected with muffliato and other concealing spells so Desi could speak freely. Not that Hogwarts was entirely safe, but, the Spiders were keeping a look out for any nonsense. "You seem rather occupied with the Hospital Wing. Feeling well?" she started with this, of course, because why the heck not? Ondina Nell Weasley

Talk in private? Ondina raised an eyebrow. What did Desirae Rousseau want with her that needed to be discussed in private? She found herself following the older girl before her mind had decided if this was a good idea or not. She followed her right into a dark, empty room. And once inside, she turned around, arms followed and that eyebrow still raised.
But then she spoke and that eyebrow dropped. It took quite a bit of effort not to react, though her eyes did widen a touch. Why was her visits to the Hospital Wing being brought up? Was it small talk? Or... Did Desirae know something? No, there was absolutely no way she knew about her and Cassius. They were careful. Locking rooms, sometimes even spelling the room. Ondina forced herself to shrug, trying to act as if it was no big deal. "It's nothing to worry about. I just have a few health problems, is all." She did a pretty good job of acting like it was completely normal, which it technically was. She'd frequented the Hospital Wing quite often before. No one would notice her going even more often... would they? "Why do you ask?"

Ondina immediately took on a sort of defensive stance, it seemed, and Desi couldn't blame her. She was prying into the girls personal life, after all. "Oh no reason. I mean, with an assistant nurse like Cassius I wouldn't mind having a few health problems myself," she chuckled, leaning back against a desk beside her and lifting a finger to play at her own dark hair. "I wouldn't be surprised if you were faking it just to spend some more time with the bloke," she added, her wicked grin growing. "But that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. A little birdy let's say told me that you started those rumors about your cousin blowing up the tower? I'd like to say bravo. It seems to have really broken the boys spirit. I assume that was your goal? And don't worry, I wouldn't tell about that nor your little rescue with Cassius that day either," she smiled sweetly. "I just want to know why you did it. Why you spread those rumors?"Ondina Nell WeasleyOndina Nell Weasley

She knew.
Ondina was sure of it. Somehow, some way, Desirae knew about Cassius. How? Her first instinct, of course, was to pull out her wand and threaten, or curse the older girl. She could do. Maybe turn her into a rat and not tell anyone. Something stopped her though. And she hadn’t outright said she knew about their relationship… Slowly her eyes narrowed as she crossed her arms across her chest. ”Are you suggesting there’s something between me and Cassius? We knew each other when he was a student. Is it a crime to be friends still?” They were more than friends though…
That defiant air Ondina had been putting on disappeared, as did that scowl, when Desirae mentioned the rumors. Rumors that she’d started about her cousin Albus. It hadn’t been hard. You could tell first years whatever you wanted, and they’d spread it like wild fire.
Desirae wanted something.
Why else would she bring up the rumors, and knowing about Cassius? And then make it clear she wasn’t going to tell anyone. ”…. What do you want, Desirae?” She carefully asked. But then Desirae asked the question. Why. Why had Ondina done it. She tilted her head her eyes a little wide in a look of innocence.
”Why?” she repeated, as if the word were something strange and foreign. ”Because, It was about time someone got rid of that smug smirk of his.” It was no secret that she and Albus didn’t get along. At all. But to think she’d go so far just for a childhood grudge…

Desi was surprised that Ondina brought the truth into it. She raised an eyebrow, biting her lip and giggling for a moment. "I am, in fact," she said once she released her lip. "If I looked at anyone the way he looks at you... well, I'd be worried that I was actually ready for some kind of commitment, and that's just crazy. It's a shame, though, I rather enjoyed flirting with him. But if you're going to play with us, well..." she had rambled a little bit, trailing off as Ondinas defenses began to slip away. Desi pushed off the desk as Ondina asked what she wanted and then the blonde went on to explain why she had spread the rumors. "He is a bit of a pain, isn't he? Listen, I'm not going to play around with you," she said, taking another step closer to the blonde. "I think you want something more out of life. Something more than this world that worships your dear Uncle," she was talking about Harry Potter, of course, "I'm sure Albus get's most of his smugness from that side of the family. Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that Cassius and myself and a few others are a part of a little... club. And I think you'd fit right in. You know, I think you should ask him about it." She tilted her head to the side and gave yet another one of her eerie, sultry smiles. Ondina Nell Weasley

How? How did Desirae know about her and Cassius? Better yet, what was she planning on doing with the information? Try and blackmail them? Tell Headmaster Longbottom? No, that last one wasn’t likely. Even though she didn’t know Desirae, Ondina knew she wasn’t a tattletale. Ondina shifted a little, so she could draw her wand at a moments notice, eyes narrowed and lips frowning. ”… Why do you think that?” She finally asked, but then Desirae was saying something. About the way Cassius looked at her. It almost made her smile, but she restrained herself. She did bristle when Desirae said she enjoyed flirting with the man, a flash of jealousy racing through her. Ondina was definitely the jealous type, and the idea of someone flirting with Cassius… That jealous anger didn’t last long though.
”Us?” What did Desirae mean by that? She didn’t have to wait long for an answer, Desirae speaking once more. And hitting a nerve. Her Uncle, Harry Potter. Famous Harry Potter. The entire Weasley clan lived in his shadow. Ondina, having always been treated like a delicate flower, had grown to resent him slightly. At least his fame. Desirae was right, Ondina did want more. She wanted to get out of everyone’s shadow. To maek a name for herself and prove everyone wrong.
”What sort of ‘club’ are you talking about?” She paused for only a moment as something else registered. ”Cassius is part of this?”

It was fine, watching Ondinas little min spin around and try to put all of the pieces together. Then the blonde asked what kind of 'club' it was and Desi waited for her to ask about Cassius too, which she did. Desi took in a deep breath. If the girl turned out to be a little snitch then Desi could just kill her, right? But no... Desi knew that there was something different about this one. Something that made her think that she wasn't going to be the one to go telling on Desi and Elaine and them, especially if Cassius was involved. "Cassius is a dear part of our group. We are activists, of sorts. Looking for a better world. A purer world in which we can make names for ourselves without all the expectation of others. We set out own expectations and we... well, we're a little bit of an anarchist movement, I'd say," at least on her end, and Cassius's. They both just liked things to be a big mess, it made life more fun and made room for more freedom. "Your blood is pure yet you're treated like secondhand because of your family name. Well, we're giving you the chance to choose our blood over theirs. To choose for yourself. To stop the mold."Ondina Nell Weasley

Ondina understood why Desirae was here now. She was trying to 'recruit' her to whatever this 'club' was. Her explanation was vague. Who were 'they'? Obviously it was more then just Desirae and Cassius. Build a better world? A purer world? Ondina didn't care anything about that. What would make the world better? But power? Power to get out of her family's shadow? That really caught her interest, her eyes flashing with intrigue.
Ondina knew the Weasley's were basically a joke, the laughing stock of the pureblood families. Red haired, poor, breed like rabbits... Her lips pursed together tightly as she looked away from Desirae, finally crossing her arms tightly across her chest. "I don't care about the state of the world. If you're as knowledgeable as you seem to be, you should know that much. I just want out of everyone's shadow." She looked back at Desirae, her gaze cold and unreadable. "I don't want people thinking I'm just another Weasley every time they hear my name. If you can get me that- I'm in. If not, then get out of the way." She paused for a moment. "I'll give you an answer after I talk to Cassius. If he's really involved." No, she didn't trust Desirae. The girl knew about her and Cass. Not only that, she was Adalyn's sister. While Ondina was friends with Adalyn, she sure as heck didn't trust her. She had a nasty habit of gossiping, a trait that could quite possibly run in the family....

Deso expected Ondina was a selfish girl and wouldn't really care about the world that much, and that didn't bother her one bit. If anything, it made the girl more accessible to her. She smirked as the snarkiness came out of Ondinas mouth. Desi nodded, "oh, we can get you that. That'll be easy," she said, lifting a hand to look at her nails for a moment while Ondina paused her speech. Then she said she would give an answer after she spoke to Cass. Of course Ondina wouldn't trust Desi completely, and Des didn't expect her too. She smiled wider, lowering her hand and giving Ondina a once over. "That sounds like a lovely plan, Ondina. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me. I'm not a gossiper, Ondina. I'm a blackmailer, and that means I like to keep my secrets between me and the subjects." She let out a girlish giggle and then, before Ondina could stop her, gave the blonde a swift kiss on the cheek before skipping to the door and leaving her to mull it over. Ondina Nell Weasley(le end, cass thread starting)
