Cassie and Lyssa: Rise of Audentia

Draco nodded at Cassie when she said they were going to move Lyssa to a different room. It only made sense to that when Cassie wanted to cellar emptied but wasn't willing to give Lyssa over to the Order (not that Draco was objecting). He took off his blue cloak and Cassie took the disguise off his voice. Then she put her hood back on since she wasn't going in as Cassie. They walked to the cellar and went in. Draco went over to his sister, while Cassie stayed back, near the door. {insert rest of post that I will write later….it's not really necessary to move on anyway, now is it?}

"Okay," Cassie said once they were saftly down the hall. "Get your cloak and I'll redisguise your voice, we're going to get the Death Eaters to the Order." It didn't take an awful long time to knock out all the Death Eaters and tie them up. There were nine, not including Lyssa and with the held of two others, everyone except for Cassie was looking after two bound Death Eaters. before apperating to the place where they met the Order Cassie disguised everyone's voices in case they needed to talk. There were more Order members there and they took the Death Eaters off Audentia.

Professor Lupin glanced suspiciously at Cassie after glancing at the Death Eaters. "Where's Malfoy?" He asked. Cassie raised an eyebrow at him. "What's it to you?" She replied cooly. "You said you wanted the Death Eaters out of your cellar, so you gave them to us." "She's not in my Cellar." Cassie replied starting to get irritated. "She's seventeen, bareley of age. She deserves another chance." "She's a Death Eater," Cassie's eye flared dangerously but Remus couldn't see that. "So was Severus Snape, and you recruited him. She got marked against her will, You're a werewolf against your will and I'm not going to hold that against you. So don't hold that against her." He's eyes were still glancing at her suspiciously.

"Marked against her will or not, her past actions have been her own," Lupin said. "No one has forced her to act as a Death Eater would. She did that all her own." Draco gritted his teeth, but refrained from snapping anything at Lupin, as it would probably tell them exactly who he was.

Cassie raised her eyebrow. "Oh great idea, if you were a Death Eater would you openly disobey Voldemort? It's suicide." She frowned at Professor Lupin. "Severus Snape, had acted like a Death Eater he'd tortured and killed and you still let him join the Order, L-Malfoy," She had nearly said Lyssa which would have been out of character for Crystal. "Hasn't done anything like that. You're juding too quickly and not wanting to reconsider." Cassie was getting tired with Professor Lupin and just wanted him to shut up.

Remus opened his mouth to respond but McGonagall cut him off. "Remus, let it go," she said. "We are all on the same side here. Rather than arguing like schoolchildren we should be working on a plan to work together and defeat Voldemort."

Cassie had to snicker at the argueing like school children. Audentia was made up of schoolchildren. she then smiled and nodded at McGonagall at least someone here was sensible. Professor Lupin scowled and Cassie noted that the Order who had been holding the Death Eaters were now gone. They talked for abit longer then organised another meeting the next weekend. Cassie sighed and activated her portkey. She glanced up and saw Remus glancing at it agian. "No point Remus, you need a password to activate it." The portkey pulled her back to HeadQuaters.

Draco was glad when the meeting between the two groups was over. He hadn't liked them talking about his sister, and he couldn't even say anything then, as it would have given things away. He sighed once he was back at HQ.

Cassie sighed. "The Order," She said shaking her head before walking into the kitchen. and rumaging through it. She pulled a few things out and walked down the hall to the small room at the end, she was still Crystal having her cloak abd voice still disguised. Cassie unlocked the door and walked in. "Hungry?" Cassie asked Lyssa.

Lyssa was laying on the bed reading a book when the door to the room opened. She looked up for a moment, and then turned her attention back to the book. "No, I'm not hungry," she answered. "Anything else you need?"

Cassie sighed softly, she wished she could just forget all this happened. She shook her head and put the food on the floor. "I leave it here in cause you're hungry later, do you want anything?" Cassie made a slight face, being Head of Audentia was a completly new experience to her, she gained a slightly different personality when she was.

Lyssa looked over from her book. "No," she said then turned back to her book, turning the page.

Cassie shrugged in slight frustration and walked out of the room locking it behind her. She sighed and lowered the hood of her cloak and undisguised her voice. She walked into the kitchen and took a seat at the table there running her fingers over the bumpy wood, it had obviously been carved by a Muggle not a Wizard, or a Wizard who was really bad at carving with their wand.

Draco walked in the kitchen to see Cassie sitting at the table. "You look...upset or something," he commented, stopping and leaning on the wall next to the door.

She shrugged nonchalontly not really wanting to get into it. She wans't even really sure why she was in a bad mood, she just was. She was sick and tired of the whole bloody thing, the war, everything. Harry couldn't have a least killed Voldemort before he died? That would have been useful, and helpful. The Gryffindor scowled still unsure of the real cause of her mood.

Draco raised an eyebrow at Cassie's shrug. "A shrug does not explain a mood," he stated looking at her.

"Bugger off Malfoy," She snapped at him letting her hair fall over her eyes, her irritable mood not withstanding Draco was being annoying and it really wasn't something she was in the mood to deal with.

Draco scowled and sighed at her. "Firstly, that's not going to help your mood any," he said, fully aware that she would rather he shut up and leave, but not caring. "Secondly, jeez what is with you two and not wanting to talk about what's bugging you? Lyssa does the same exact thing. It's annoying."

"It might," Cassie muttered darkly. "Then I wouldn't have an annoying brat annoying me." She then shrugged. "Maybe one of us picked it up from the other," She shrugged again and dispite herself smiled, she was either very sullen and grouchy when she was mad or she yelled and occasionally wacked people.

Draco looked at her indignantly. "I'm not a brat..." he muttered crossing his arms over his chest with a scowl. "And I'm not annoying either for that matter...I'm just persistant. Now, you can either talk abuot what's bugging you, or I will continue."

Cassie rolled her eyes. "You're acting like a Gryffindor," She told him grouchily. "And you are so annoying." The Gryffindor refused to tell Draco what was wrong, she didn't usually talk about what was bothering her, and if she did it was to Lyssa. Whom she couldn't really talk to because of well they were on oposite sides and no matter what she said to the Order Cassie didn't really trust her enough yet.

Draco frowned. "I am not acting like a Gryffindor," he said with a pout. "A Gryffindor would have demanded to know what's wrong. I merely asked, and then persisted since it's obviously not a good thing."

"You know waht Draco?" Cassie snapped. "It's none of you freaking buisness how I'm feeling, I appriate your concern but I don't want to talk about it." Her eyes flared dangerously and she felt like wacking something or someone but refrained from doing so. She scowled.

"I suppose it is partially my business, since you're the leader of this group. If the leader falls apart the group falls apart. Do you really want to let whatever's bothering you to put the group in danger? Because it could if you keep it too bottled up," Draco retorted, keeping himself from losing his cool.

"Fuck Draco," Cassie snapped glaring at him. "I've been through hell this year, I'm allowed to have a breakdown if I need to, It's not exactly easy running a group trying to stop Voldemort." She breathed deeply trying to calm herself to no avail.

"Ok, fine," Draco said, way calmer than a few of his previous statements. "Have your breakdown, since you've decided to let your dominantly Gryffindor side take over and are persistent with not letting anyone help you out, despite how no one's had a pleasant year." Then on that note he turned and left the room. A moment later a door slammed.
