Scelestus was sitting in the tiny shop that she knew very few people entered. In fact she doubt that any of the many people travleing through knockturn Alley had ever seen the shop before. on either side of it were much bigger buidlings that drove all attention away from it. Sceletus liked the shop not only because few people came but because of the inside. Walking inside of teh shop one would see what looked like Dark Arts items all over the walls. She looked down at the table she was sitting at and saw that there were many witches and wizards who eteched thier names into the surface. She knew there was a story behind each name and a few of those names she knew of the story. Others were lost forever only the person who etched the name there knew. Scelestus walked over to the wall there was a paiting of the Dark Lord. Scelestus had not been born during his rise or fall but had heard many stories about the man and hoped one day to be just like him. She craved power and the Dark Lord was the man who gained power and placed fear into others. Scelestus hoped that she could do the same thing but first she had to find people to join her.

Scelestus didnit come to teh shop just to buy some of the Dark Arts items in there but to also meet up with a man. She had sent him a letter after hearing some rumors about him. This guy she was suppose to meet with was someone she hoped to turn to view things like she does. She wanted him to be her alley and help her climb to power. She had tried it on her own but failed in the process.Scelestus' own clone and her son had defeated her. She was determined not to have that happen again. With the man's help she was sure she could succeed but first Scelestus wanted to find many followers.

Scelestus was standing at the counter placing the items she wanted to buy there. Once they were ranged up she paid the man his money and turned to the door thinking that she heard it opening. She was that the wind had just moved it. Scelestus smiled and turned to the man saying "Dear fellow I hope that you fix that door soon." The man grunted but didn't say much. Scelestus returned to the table she was sitting at before looking at the items she just bought.

“Man, what a dump.” Trever William Salem walked into the tiny old shop, sneering as he caught the cashier's eye. His sharp teeth nearly sparkled in the dark area of the place. The man at the counter growled to himself and went back to dusting off the counters. Knockturn Alley was a dark place, filled mostly with dark stores and mainly were dark wizards shopped. Trever really didn't like to come here much. He tended to think it as being full of low life that neither side wanted anything to do with. If they were all loyal to to 'good' side, why would they be hanging out I this wretched place? But obviously they were no use to the Dark Lord either, or they would be doing more important things than lounging around begging for money and attempting to frighten any ill-fated wonderer.
Trever shuffled around the selves, trying not to knock anything over. His father would be real annoyed if he had to pay for objects his son broke. And frankly, Trever wasn't seeing anything of worth to him. I should just leave before I get a disease... He rounded another sharp turn and spotted a girl sitting down on a rather beaten up table. He cocked his head and smiled.
“Well hello there. Who, may I ask, do I have the pleasure of meeting?” Trever slicked his brightly colored red hair back and undid the first button on his leather jacket. He looked her up and down, clearly intrigued.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Mon Aug 03 2009, 21:04

Sceletus looked up to see a man had just approuched her. He had red hair and was wearing a leather jacket that she thought looked well on him. She looked at his hand and reached out her own to shake his. She gave him a small smile and said "My name is Scelestus. May i ask whom you are?" She heard his name a few times but wanted to make sure she heard right. With all of the people she had talked to not all of them were reliable. Scelestus pushed back her long blond hair so that it wasn't in her face as she waited for his reply. She had to look up in order to see his face because of how shirt she was. I curse Oddie. When I was cloned they should of altered my hieght so I was as tall as everyone else she thought as she kept her half smile. She rarely smiled so she found smiling polietly hard to do but forced herself so she wouldn't seem so cold to him

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Mon Aug 03 2009, 21:19

They shook hands and Trever laughed a bit to himself. She seemed a tad nervous, or maybe just not in a complete talking mood.
“Wow, what a beautiful name. I'm Trever, Trever Salem. Ah, ex-Slytherin. You ever go to Hogwarts?” Trever was pushing her for a conversation. She pushed her hair back and her noticed how lovely her eyes were. He stared into them without blinking, shifting in his seat. The leather squeaked against his body.
He almost thought he recognized her from somewhere, but he couldn't quite make it out. He had been so busy lately running errands for his father that stopping for a nice chat didn't come across to often. And Trevor loved to talk.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Mon Aug 03 2009, 21:29

Scelestus grinned when she heard his name. This was the person who she had heard about and was certain she was speaking with the right person. When she heard that he was placed into Slyrtherin house Scelestus knew she had found the right man. Why else would the hat placed him into Slytherin if he wasn't sly and cunning, something that she needed.

"I have not been to Hogwarts" she replied. It was true for she had only been alive for the past few years after being clones. Her clone Oddie had gone to Hogwarts and was placed into Ravenclaw. Scelestus was sure that if she had gone to Hogwarts she would of easily gotten into Slytherin but she had no intention of going there. Her knowledge of the magical world is just as good as Oddie's and even better for she had read as many books as she could. "In fact I have never gone to any magical school but don't let that make you think I know nothing. I am quiet a powerful witch" she added with a grin.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Mon Aug 03 2009, 22:10

Clafin's endless search had led her to Knockturn Alley. She hated coming here. It was dark, creepy, and quite frankly it smelled absolutely horrid half of the time. She promised herself she'd never come here again even if the Order needed anything. She'd just have Thomas do it for her. He had less to worry about, being a vampire and all.

She walked into a shop that might have what she was looking for. As she walked through the doors, she noticed two people sitting at a small table with a man behind the counter glaring at them. Clafin walked towards the counter to look in the display cases. She shopped silently as she tried to hear the others conversation. It might prove helpful to someone.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 18:44

Trever grinned wildly at Scelestus. She had a certain tone in her voice that made hem feel at ease. They got to talking a bit. He hadn't learned to much about her, but she told him that she never went to Hogwarts, or any other magical school in fact. She said that she was smart enough though. Trever laughed.
“Well I'm sure you are. What did ya buy?” He glanced at the bag. “If you don't mind my asking, that is.”
Then, the door creaked open again as another girl walked in. Trever raised his eyebrow and looked in the mirror behind Scelestus. For a split second he thought he was seeing things; or wasn't. Her reflection didn't appear in the mirror, but as he turned to see her from over his shoulder, she vanished behind a large shelf. He sniffed and turned his attention back to his new friend.
“Smells bad in here too you?” He asked her. Being a werewolf, he had enhanced smelling, seeing, and hearing. And something wasn't smelling right to him.
Trever fiddled with his lip ring, trying to distract himself from the gag-making reak. Then the door opened once again, and Trever found himself growling. “I thought this place was supposed to be practically invisible...”

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 19:11

Scelestus was just aout to answer Trever's question when all of a sudden the door opened and she saw someone enter. Scelestus saw that it was a girl and she frowned. She chose this place because barely anyone came here and now that there was someone here she could not talk as freely as she wanted to. Not too long later another girl enter the store and Scelestus wanted to scream at them to leave but she knew that she couldn't do that. The owner would just kick them out and she couldn't find another place to stay at.

As she returned to attention back to Trever she noticed that he was speaking with her again askign her if anything smelled bad. Scelestus laughed and said "Other than the smells that been here? I can't say I do." Scelestus than got to her feet and said "Come and follow me. We need to talk somwhere in private out of the ears of others." She walked over to the owner who was standing at the counter still looking around at everyone who was in there looking surprised to see so many people in his store at once.

"Sir may we use one of your rooms in the back." Scelestus asked him as she slid a few gallons over the counter towards him. The man looked down at the coins and gathered them up with a snare and said "Sure. Don't touch nothing though" Scelestus nodded and turned to Trever. "Come we'll talk in the back away from the others" she said speaking out loud not caring if they heard her.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 19:56

"Ah, I'm liking the sound of this." Trever stood up and fallowed Scelestus to the counter, hands shoved in his pockets. She slid the man some galleons and moments later they were back in one of the small, creepy dark storage rooms of the shop. There was hardly any room to move.
At least the smell was gone. Instead, it was replaced by a musky scent that was so thick Trever thought he could see the very smell floating around in the air. Squeezing past on another, they made themselves as comfortable in the small space as possible. Trever leaned with his back against a large box, legs crossed.
He turned his attention back to Scelestus. “So, we were talking...?”

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 20:09

Scelestus seated herself on one of the more stable looking boxes and once Trever was seated himself she just sat there until he said "So, we were talking...?” Scelestus didn't say anything right away and instead reached into her robes and retrieved her wand. Scelestus pointed it at the door and muttered "Haud sanus subterlabor" (no sound escape). Placing her wand back into her robes and turned to Trever and said "Now we don't have to worry about evesdroppers.

"Now you had asked me what i had in my bag" Scelestus said as she turned her bag over and the contents fell out. There was a book, a wand and a ring. She handed the items over to Trever for him to look at

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 20:30

Scelestus drew her wand and pointed it at the door, muttering a spell. Trever watched unblinking as she dumped the items out of her bag and motioned for him to take a look. First, Trever picked up the book, turning it this way and that. He flipped through the pages, not noticing anything to much out of the ordinary. It wasn't the nicest looking book around, but it wasn't complete trash. He sat the book down and grabbed the wand. It was lighter than his own. Well crafted too. But why would Scelestus have two wands? That wasn't very normal...

Then Trever picked up the ring. He stared into it's shiny glimmer reflecting off the little light in the room. There was a certain glow to it that intrigued him. Trever put the ring back next to the book and wand, then turned his attention back to Scelestus. “So? Is there a story behind these items, or am I just here to amuse you?” Trever didn't say it in a hurtful way, but he was sounding like a bit of an air-head.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 20:43

Scelestus grinned and said "Yes there is something behind these items. I'm sure that if there wasn't I wouldn't be showing them to you." She reached for the book and handed it to him. "In the first few pages there is a story about the Deathly Hallows. I am sure that you have heard about it. The wand is just a replica of the Elder Wand and the ring is one that people claim to be the resurrection stone. I know these are not the Elder wand nor the Resurrection stone for I believe that the stone was destroyed and the same with the Elder wand" Scelestus said as she placed the items back into her bag and than said "I would like to have these items remade and to find the true invisablity cloak."

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 20:56

“Would you now? Well, this is the most interesting thing I've heard all week.” Trever shifted and leaned forward a bit, so his face was only inches from Scelestus's. “This is a pretty clever little plan you've racked up. Real nifty. It might actually work too. Man, you were right when you said you were smart earlier.”

He snorted and leaned back again. Trever ran his fingers through his hair, glancing at a spider web above him. He felt his blood starting to pump faster as the adrenaline built up. Just like a dog being told he was going for a walk.

“Now I'm guessing your telling me all this because I'm going to somehow have something to do with it, right?”

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 21:02

Scelestus grinned and said "Yes that is why I have told you all of this. I want you to help me. If we obtain all three of the items than I will become invicible and you will be rewarded gracefully. The only thing is that I need the true invisability cloak. I am hoping that maybe you could obtain it for me. The last person i heard who had it was Chris Potter. I have not seen him in ages and he kept it at Gremuald's place. Maybe you could sneak in and get it. I cannot go there for I am forbiddened. As for the wand and the stone, I am hoping to find the wand pieces and take them to a wand maker. Than I will find the stone and will have to find a charm master who will be able to fix the stone and replace the enchantments on it. It's a lot we have to do and very risky but we will be rewarded nicely afterwards" she finished with an evil smile

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 21:24

Trever felt his stomach turn in delight. “Oh what an evil little mastermind we have here. I like the way you think. I'm interested.” He flashed his teeth again, letting his K9's catch the light. “So, before we start, we will be in it for me? A sidekick like me doesn't come cheap.” Trever cracked his knuckles, feeling a wave of pleasure surge through his veins. There was a noise coming from outside, and he could make out someone talking. They mentioned the Order.

Trever felt his muscles go cold and he suddenly got defensive. “Wait a minute, Scelest. I think we've got ourselves a spy out there.”

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 21:32

Scelestus grinned liking how he was handing things. If he wanted something big it showed that he wasn't some mindless guy who she could make become her slave. He was smart and witty. She liked that and grinned about to answer him when she said about hearing something outside.

"That's why I placed up that charm before we started talking" Scelestus said smiling. "Do you think I would be talking about this so that outsiders could hear in on us? I'm not stupid and if they pressed thier eyes against this door they won't hear a single noise coming from this room. Luckily we are able to hear what's going on out there for the spell does not prevent noise from entering the room."

Scelestus shifted her wieght on the box until she was a bit more confortable and said "One thing I can garreentee is that I won't kill you. You may be part of my group and if you love to kill than you shall be granted the ability to kill all you want and who you want without havung to be sent to Azkaban. Of course you will recieve some gold for your troubles. I will not have you do this for me without any payment. Do as I ask and you shall be rewarded richly. Is there anything you want?"

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 04 2009, 22:38

Clafin jumped and spun around as Bella snuck up on her. She slapped her hand to Bellas mouth, but just a moment to late. The girl had managed to blow her cover. She dropped her hand before Bella could bite her. "Will you shut up?" Clafin begged. As she realized she sounded a bit panicked, she tried to regain her composure. "Oh and for your information, I happen to be looking for something at this store." she said confidently. She walked away from the girl towards the back of the store. She continued looking for the deck of cards, but failed.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 00:15

Clafin looked at Bella in horror. Why doesnt her brother just come with her everywhere? He's much more civil than she is. she thought to herself. "I'm looking for a deck of cards actually?" Clafin said bleakly as she tried to hide the importance of the object she was in search of. She wondered to a door in the back of the shop and tried to listen in on the conversation of the two who had left earlier. She waited for a moment before realizing it was a lost hope. She turned around and nearly ran into a large glass cabinet.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 00:41

Clafin looked at Bella in shock and amazement. The girl was proving to be useful after all. She walked over to her and grabbed her hand. "Just let me follow you." she whispered in her ear, making it impossible for anyone else to hear. She eyed the shopkeeper, hoping that he wouldnt find her suspicious. She hesitated before trying to seem more at ease. "So Bella, how is your brother doing? Havent heard from him in a while." Clafin said trying to start a conversation as the shopkeeper continued banging on the door and yelling.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 01:35

Clafin tried to block out the shopkeepers angry yells. She felt like the wind had just been knocked out of her. She looked at Bella in horror. "Are you serious? Why in Earth did he get close enough to giants to get attacked?" she asked worriedly. Clafin looked down at the floor trying to hide her embarrassment as she waited for Bella to reply. As she looked up, she spotted the deck of cards in a glass cabinet. She reached to open the door but it was locked. "Excuse me, could you open this?" she asked the shop owner loudly enough so that he could hear her.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 01:44

Clafin leaned over to Bella. "For the Order?" she asked in a low voice, which probably wasnt quiet enough to conceal the words she'd spoken. Clafin cursed to herself. She really had to work on the whole spy concept. Clafin looked at the shop keeper for a moment as he showed extreme hostility towards her. "More impotant customer?" she asked, her voice growing more angry as the words progressed. "What exactly do you mean by that?" she said through a snarl as she glared at the old man. He wasnt exacty easy to look at either. She stood there glaring at him as he handed her the cards, waiting for a response.

Trever relaxed a bit. “All right. I believe ya. Now what were we talking about?”
Scelestus told him then plan, and now he wanted to know what was in it for him. She promised first off she wouldn't kill him. Trever laughed. “Well, that's certainly a relief.” She then told him he could kill if he wished and would be greatly rewarded with gold. His lip twitched in excitement.
“Kill, eh? Maybe if I had too. I personally don't like getting my hands dirty...or bloody. But if it helps get me money, then I can handle.” He rubbed his nose and sniffed the air. “Are we done with this discussion yet? I'm starting to get a migraine.”
Trever pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, putting it in his mouth. He flashed a look at Scelestus. “Um, you don't mind do you?”

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 19:13

Sceslestus frowned when Trever said that he didn't like to kill. She was sure that she would be able to change his mind later. She pushed it aside and watched as he pulled out a ciagreette and held it to his mouth.

"No i don''t mind if you smoke. Let's get out of this room though so that the smoke doesn't get caught in here and I'll be coughing my lunges out. We're done talking afterall" Sceslestus said as she climbed to her feet and headed to the door. Just before she exited the room she turned to face Trever and said "Before we leave I think it would be best for us not to meet up again until you either get the cloak or I get the wand or the stone fixed, after I find the stone that is. I'll send you an owl every now and than. Reply saying if you got the cloak or not. If you do find it I'll get us a place to meet at. We can't come back to this place. It's already being filled with people who I suspect might be part of the Order. Thier like pests they're everywhere"

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 19:43

Trever nodded as they left the room, lighting his cigarette with his wand. They made their way to the front door, when Scelestus told him all that was left to say. She began to walk away, but Trever reached out and grabbed her wrist. He quickly released once he had gotten her attention. “Ah, do you have any suggestions of were I should start looking, oh smart one?” He exhaled and a puff of smoke came out of his mouth and twisted around in the air.

Adventure being just around the corner, he had to go home and tell his dad first. Trever would tell him what he was going to do, and how if he was successful, which he would be of course, they would have enough money to stabilize their life. Hopefully keep it that way. Then, Trever would be free from his father's grip.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 19:53

Scelestus hand her hand on the door to leave when all of a sudden something grbaed her wrist. She quickly turned around reaching for her wand in her robes only to see that it was Trever. She releashed her grib on her wand as he asked her his question.

Scelestus smiled and said "Either find a Potter or go to the Order's hideout. I know it's in Chris Potter's room. I believe if you go to his room and just summon it it will come to you. Now hurry for I am sure that the spys have heard us and will be wanting to remove it. If they move it than you won't have a chance of finding it. Is that all you want?" she asked him than ready to leave

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 20:50

“Hmmm, alright then. I get right to it. This almost sound to easy.” They smiled at each other and as Scelestus started to leave again, Trever shouted out, “hey! In the future, call me Will!” He waited until she had vanished out of site, then darted off in another direction quicker than a normal human speed. He carefully navigated his way past the handfuls of witches and wizards in the alley. Trever's steps were so light he made no sound as he darted past.

It didn't take him long to reach the small, rundown hotel were his father and him were staying. He waved at the manager, who merely rolled his eyes and went back to scribbling something down on paper. Trever hopped up the creaky stairs till he reached the third floor, where he then knocked on the door marked 311.

There was no reply.

“Yo, it;s me, open up.”

Still nothing.

“Come on dad, I've got great news!.”

But no one stirred.

“For the love of- oh, that stupid son of a...” His voice mumbled out as he fumbled for his own keys. He pulled them out of his back paints pocket and opened the door. Bottles, clothes, and papers scattered the floor.

“...Father?”

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Aug 05 2009, 20:58

Scelestus walked away from the store and heard Trever call out to her saying that she should call him Will. She remebered it but did not acknoledge she heard him. instead she kept walking down the street and was soon swallowed up by the crowd. After wandering about the streets she finally made her way to another shop. She walked into it and found it to be Burgon and Bukes. The man who stood behind the counter didn't greet her nor even notice she was there. Scelestus walked in and looked at all of the items in the shop. The main reason she came was that she wanted to see if there was anyone follwing her. if there was she would see the same person going into the same stores as her or else standing outside of them. All she had to do was stay to the stores that were empty most of the time. Scelestus acted like she was interested in a hand holding a candle as she gazed out of the corner of her eye trying to see if anyone was nearby

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Thu Aug 06 2009, 18:23

Trever found his father face down on the desk, snoring like there was no tomorrow. He sighed and sat his cigarette down in the ask try, which was already pretty full. He leaned over and tried to wake his dad.
“You idiot, get the *&^% up. It's 12:56.” He shook him, but nothing happened. Trever was getting frustrated. “Get your lazy @$$ out of this chair right now or I will drop kick you, I swear to Voldemort.”
His father snorted and turned over.
“Alright, you fag, WAKE UP!” Trever grabbed the collar of the man's shirt and flung him half way across the room with great strength, seeing he was only 120 pounds and his father was a good 260. Mr. Salem awoke with a startled look on his face before realizing he was upside down.
“Trever? What the hell, kid? Why didn't you just wake me like a normal person?”
“Pft...”
He stood up, rubbing his back, and walked over to the bed were he collapsed and grabbed an already open bottle of whiskey. Trever glanced at him over his shoulder while in the bathroom jelling his hair some more. “Oh for God's sake can you not be sober for at least two days? How many of those have you had today?”
“...Can't remember...”
Trever rolled his eyes. “You make me sick.”
Mr. Salem simply laughed. “Good. Did you get me that package?” He looked egar.
“Um, no.”
“WHAT?!” The bottle went flying at Trever's head, but he ducked in near time as it went soaring past and hit the tiled wall beside him. “Boy, I should-”
“Wait a minute now. I got something better than your package of smuggled in drugs and crap. Listen to this father. I met this girl.”
Mr. Salem groaned and covered his face with his hands. “Not another one. Trev, if you really want to get lai-”
“No no no no no no no! Just shut up for a minute 'k? I met this girl. We got to talking, and then she took me in a room in the back-”
“Ah, me boy! So you did get la-”
“OH MY GOD SHUT UP. I DID NOT. We were talking and the chick is going to try to make herself practically immortal. She has a great plan, really. And she wanted me to help he steal something.”
“Hmmm...” Mr. Salem rubbed his chin. “And?”
“And I'm getting part of the cut. A big part. Lotsa money, man. We'll be all set. Then you can go get yourself high on drugs and die as I attempt to get somewhat of a life.”
“Sounds like a plan, son! How do you know you can trust her though? Is she working for the Dark Lord?”
“I donno. But she's just got the kind of personality were in seconds of meeting her you would sell her your soul.”
“I'm proud of you son. After all this then, will you two....you know.”
Trever smacked his head and headed back out the door. “Goodbye father. Don't die before I get back. I have no idea how long I'll be gone.” He slammed the door behind him and almost as fast as he had come in, he had gone back out.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Thu Aug 06 2009, 19:52

Scelestus looked behind and saw that there was no signs of someone following her. Maybe those two weren;t very good spys she thought to herself as she picked up the hand that she was staring at. She looekd at the price and saw how expensive it was. She placed it back not really wanting it. If she wanted it she would just steal it. She than turned and left teh store without saying a word to the owner and made her way out on the streets. They were practically empty now and looking up she saw way. It was getting dark and she was sure that everyone was heading home. Scelestus wasn't ready to go home yet but as she looked down the street she saw that all of tghe stores were closing for the night. Now all she had tp do was find an inn or motel to stay at for the night

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Fri Aug 07 2009, 18:43

“Hey, back off, I'm kind of busy right now.”
The muscular boy gripping Trever's jacket laughed, and so did his sluggish thugs. He snapped at them, and they shut up immediately and turned serious once again. “Boy, I hope your go'in to der hospital, cuz you iz gonna be hurt'n so bad when Imma done wit' chu.”
Trever chuckled to himself and grabbed the person's hand, prying it off him. “Ok, normally I would warn you to back off before I start to bet the snot out of your brain, but I've got to run.”
“Whoa, whut the-?” Trever's fist went plowing into his face and he was knocked off his feet and sent flying backwards. He smashed into the others, who let out startled cries as they struggled to get up. He laughed and hopped up on the ladder attached to the wall, then leaped behind the gang, still confused and probably wetting their paints. He rolled his eyes at the sorry site.
“Next time, you idiot muggles, pick on someone your own size. You might actually stand a better chance.” He walked away, hands in pockets, whistling happily. “Now all I've got to do is track down Chris Potter. Chris Potter......” He thought as he walked. Where would that slim ball be? How was he going to do this?

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Fri Aug 07 2009, 18:58

Scelestus continued her pace down the street looking at all of the buildings on the side. Every building she passed was some store selling some kind of Dark Arts items. None of them were a hotel or a motel. She was starting to get frustrated when all of a sudden a hotel appeared before her called the Bloody Moss Inn. Scelestus entered the place to see that it was filthy and littered with drunks. Scelestus frowned as she walked over to the counter.

"I would like a room please" Scelestus said as she handed over the gold and was given a key in return.

"Room 205" he man grunted and than looked away. Scelestus snatched up the key and wandered up the stairs to the second floor. She than found the room labeled 205 and entered it only to find that it was as dirty and disgusting as the rest pf the place. She raised her wand and cleared away most of the flitch so that it was livable for her. She than took out a piece of paper and started a note. When finished she called for her bird and in a flash of fire a pheonix appeared before her. She tied the letter to it's leg and with anotehr flash the phenix diosappeared,

the pheonix reappeared right before Trever holding out the note that said Did you find the cloak yet? was all that was writtened on it

Trever kept grumbling to himself as he walked down the streets and past the alleys. He was starting to question if he knew what he was doing, when a phoenix appeared infront of him from nowhere.

“Holy $*^& bird, don't do that to me, you nearly gave me a heart attack or something...” Trever noticed the letter attached to it, and he carefully untied it from the phoenix and opened it. It was from Scelestus, and she wanted to know if he had found the cloak.

Sighing, Trever searched his pockets for a pen, but couldn't find one. All he had was his wand and a pocket knife. He flipped the blade, shrugged, and cut open his pointing finger, drawing words across the paper before him. No, not yet. He looked up, and something mysterious moved past his gaze. A smile appeared on his face. He crossed out what he had just written, then put I think I got a lead. Hold tight sugar-cake, you cloak might not be far off.

He tied the paper back on the firey bird's leg and waved it off. “Um, shoo, go to your owner or whatever.” It tilted it's head, then vanished. Trever hoped Scelest wouldn't be too curious about the blood letter.

Scelestus paced her room as she waited for a response. She was hoping to get the letter soon and than afterwards she was going to head to the bank. She was going to get out some more money incase she would need it when she went to get the other items they might need.

Just than there was a flash of fire out of the coner of her eye and she knew it was her pheonix with return of Trever's note. Scelestus took the letter from it and saw that his response was written in blood. Scelestus was curious but didn't care enough to question him about it. instead she read the letter, frowning at the sugar-cake part but otherwise she was glad that he had his lead. Satisfied that he would be able to get the cloak, Scelestus looked down at her watch and saw that the bank was close. She cursed under her breath but decided she would just go to sleep. in the morning she'd send another letter

He rushed after the dark figure, hiding under it's own black cloak. Trever had no trouble keeping up with him; he simply crawled up the walls and pushed hard with his legs off of them on either side of the alley. He was silent as he fallowed, not touching the ground for a minute. Sometimes it payed to be a freak.
Trever kept after the person, who still had not noticed his follower. Though he was a bit jumpy, the stranger knew exactly were he was going, and most other people weren't noticing. He took turn after turn, until he wounded up in a neighborhood that was connected to a large wizarding coldisack. He looked around before slipping into house 352.
After a moment, Trever jumped back down, landing softly onto the pavement, and walking up to the doorstep. He pressed his ear to the door.
“And you sure you weren't fallowed?” Someone said is a harsh, brisk voice.
“Ah, no Sir. Nobody. Just those stupid muggles carrying about, tis all.” The second voice sounded low, defiantly male, and very familiar.
“Fine. Give it here.”
There was some rustling, and Trever lost his calm. His blood was pumping, his adrenaline surging through his body. He pulled his wand, able to be patent no more. Trever kicked down the door, startling the two men inside. The person originally in the house grabbed for his wand on a table, but Trever pointed his own at it and shouted, “accio wand!” it flew towards him and he caught it with his right hand.
The guy he had fallowed had already pulled out his wand, but in a failed attempt to disarm his opponent, Trever had already yelled “Expelliarumus!” and the man's wand went flying backwards and out of site.
They both raised their hands over their heads, pleading. “Please, man, we didn't do it! We were forced too! We didn't wanna!”
“Yeah man, chill out-”
“SHUT YOUR PIE HOLES, or I will shove this lousy piece of crap you call a wand up both ya'lls nose. Got it?” They nodded, quite scared out of there mind. They were obviously unexperienced wizards who probably never went to a magical school or held a job for that matter. Trever highly doubted this was even there house.
The one cloaked man squinted his eyes. “...hey I know you! You'se that Trever kid!”
“Will.”
“Eh, Ernie, this here is Salem's boy! Rover Salem!”
“You don't say...” The man named Ernie glanced Trever over. Trever snarled in a upset kind of way and stepped forward, crushing a bottle of vodka beneath his feet.
“What you want with use, boy? We ain't done noth'n.”
“What do I want? Oh please, Walter, save it for the Ministry. You know why I'm here. After you tell me what I need to know, you two can go back to playing your game of smuggling, k?”
They exchanged glances, and then Walter nodded. “Alright alright. What you want?”
“I want Chris Potter.”

Scelestus walked over to the bed that she was to sleep on. She looked at for a few moments before rasing her wand and than she cleared away anything that might be on or in the covers. She saw the tyep of people who stayed here and thought that many of them were dirty. She didn't want to sleep in a bed after them.

Once she was sure that the bed was clean she crawled into it and slipped under the blanket but didn't go to sleep right away. She had too many things running through her mind. Sceslestus was excited. Ever since she had learned the location of all of the items she wanted she had been looking for the right person to help her and now she was sure that nothing would get in her way. She closed her eyes laying her head on the pillow thinking.

As soon as Trever gets the cloak we'll both head over to Hogsmead and than head to the Forbidden Forest and retrieve the stone. Than afterwards we'll have to go get the elder wand. I'm not 100 percent if I can get the Elder wand fixed. I know of a wandmaker who can fix it but would he be able to? she questioned herself

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Tue Aug 25 2009, 19:19

The two other wizards glanced at one another, surprised. “Well what do ya want with 'em?”
Trever lowered his wand, just a little, and started to circle them, like a vulture waiting for it's next meal to finish dying. He sniffled is displeasure and replied, “I need to...borrow, something of his.”
Ernie opened his mouth to ask another question, but Trever shot him a glare and he shut it quickly. “My business with him doesn't matter to you, so if you would just tell me were he is-”
“Ahhhh, actually, he left one an emergency call yesterday. I think Herby said he'll be coming back on Sunday.”
Trever's lip twitched and he slapped his hand to his face. Trying to swallow his anger, he snarled, “ok, ok. So do you know where he went? And where he left from?”
“Ahhhh...” Walter scratched his head. “Ahhhhh....I think he got a call from one of the Loyders. Had to fly to New York. We was all at a meeting with The Boss, when he gots the call.”
“But he did leave his briefcase.”
“Oh?” Trever felt his heartbeat speed up. “And were is that?”
“The Boss.”
“Hrmmmm...” Trever put his wand away and turned around to leave.
Walter and Ernie grabbed there own wands, but put them away as well.
“And where can I find The Boss?”
Ernie sneered. “Where you always find him.”

Scelestus rolled onto her side. No matter how hard she tried she coulnd't get any sleep. She rose to her feet and walked over to the window and peered down at the road below. She saw that the streets were empty except for the few people walking down the streets here and there. Just than she thought that she heard something on the otherside of her door. She reacted quickly and placed her hand into her robe pocket. Scelestus remained where she was at but out of the corner of her eye she saw that the knob on the door slowly turning. Just as the door flew open Scelestus turned around and holding her wand up high she uttered the killing curse.

Scelestus walked over to the dead body and gazed down at it. It was a man who had black hair and turning him over Scelestus saw that she had reconized him. This man had been following her for awhile. Scelestus grin. "No longer will you be following me. Probably from the Order. I swear they are all wasting thier time. They are no match for me" She laughed and gathered the few belongings she had and left the motel. She didn't want to be found there with a dead body in her room.

As soon as she was out on the street she headed out of Knockturn Alley and to a group of trees nearby. Once she was sure that no one was following her she sent another letter to Trever with her Pheonix. This letter read I have been discovered and need to leave this istance. Tell me where you are.

Scelestus was planning on just helping out Trever until the dead body was found and the Aurors were done with trying to figure out who killed him. They could never link the deaths to her and Scelestus was sure they wouldn't know she had killed him.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Wed Sep 02 2009, 19:16

Trever was almost to the club when the Phoenix from before re-appeared beside him. He sniffed and took the letter.

I have been discovered and need to leave this instance. Tell me were you are.

He cocked his head, wondering what she was going on about. Luckily, he had managed to snag a pen before leaving Walter and Ernie's house, so he wrote back to her with this reply:

Sure, come on over. I'm at the Wolfshine Rave Club, you know were that is?

He tied the letter back on the bird, and is vanished in a fiery swirl yet again. He could wait for her, but he didn't know how much longer it would take, so Trever continued towards the bright blue building. The music, normally quite loud, was unable to be heard from outside. Though, with his advanced senses, Trever could hear it faintly playing inside. Was there a meeting, or was it just a slow day?

He decided to wait here for Scelestus, unsure if she had a pass or not. She probably wouldn't unless she was in some kind of gang.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Thu Sep 03 2009, 18:53

Scelestus waited for the pheonix to return and once the flick of fire appeared and the bird was flying before her she knew she would have to wait no longer. Scelestus snatched the letter from the bird and read what was written on the paper. Than she placed the paper into her robes and turned on her heels. Within a matter of moments she was standing right outside the Wolfshine Rave Club.

"Where is he at?" she whispered to herself as she walked around the Club trying to see if she could spot Trever

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Fri Sep 11 2009, 18:32

(Sorry for my absence!)

Trever clicked his tounue to the roof of his mouth as he waited, and it didn't take to long for Scelestus to show. She looked around for a minute, then he waved to her. She came over and he smiled at her slyly. "So, you got a pass or do I need to smuggle you in somehow?" He took out his own pass, twirling it between his fingers. In the distance, thunder rolled around in the air. The winds were shifting, and some dark clouds were forming and swirling in the sky. Trever felt his blood pumping and began to quiver with anxiety.

Subject: Re: Tiny Shop Along Knockturn Alley Mon Sep 14 2009, 07:54

(That's alright. I'm absent at times too lol)

Scelestus walked over to Trever and heard him say something about a pass. He pulled out his very own and showed it to Scelestus. Scelestus reached forward and snaped the pass out of Trever's hand before he could react. She than pulled her wand out of her robe pocket and looked closely at the pass. After staring at it for awhile Scelestus gave the pass back to Trever and reached down on the ground and picked up a rock. She pointed her wand at the rock and muttered "silicis in vultus a amo obduco" and the rock changed it's shape and formed to look just like the pass he had. Scelestus held it up to Trever and said "Is this pass good enough for you?"
