Cassie and Lyssa: Rise of Audentia

"Anything else you have to say that doesn't involve telling me that I'm an idiot?" She asked raising an eyebrow. "Remus," Professor McGonagall snapped. "Will you be quiet, can't you tell that it's taken a toll on them and" She flashed Cassie a glance. "It will harm them more then it will harm us." Cassie couldn't help it she made a face not caring if it made her look childish. "I really didn't need that pointed out Professor, it's hard enough to deal with my own stupidity without anyone else adding to it."

Draco raised an eyebrow. "You know Professor your comment on how it would do more harm to us made the Order sound really shallow, and I'm rightly glad that Cassie created Audentia, because there is no way I would want to put the fate of regaining the Wizarding World in your hands if you're going to be that shallow."

Cassie snickered and watched as the Professor's face drained of colour. "Have you done insulting us?" Cassie asked her eyes momenterially sparking. "I do have things to attend to and you're really just wasting my time." Her eyes flashed in the direction of Lupin and McGonagall.

Lucy stood their awkwardly rubbing her left arm absent-mindedly. She had no idea why she'd joined the Death Eaters, It was a death Wish sureley? But her mind had wavered when she'd thought about it. She had found out that her Uncle or well her Mum's cousin had been killed and he had beena Death Eater, Lucy who had never really been a huge fan of the light had thought they were behind the blame. She frowned unsure and looked at her left arm the jet black ink that was tattoed on it.

"We didn't intend to insult you," Professor McGonagall said, causing Draco to scoff at her. "Yeah right," he said. "You don't like the thought of being outdone by a bunch of teenagers. You have to insult to make yourselves feel better, so you intended every word of it. Pathetic. I'm done here." He looked at Cassie. "Can we leave now?"

Cassie had to bite back her laugh, it really was amusing sometimes. "Sure Draco," She put her hood back on before turning back to the Order. "Really, I'm surpirsed you couldn't figure out it was us, or me at least." She looked at Professor McGonagall. "You've known me for seven year. Quite pathetic." She tapped her bracelet and portkeyed back to Headquaters.

Draco snickered as the Order looked very much insulted and then at Cassie's comment, before portkeying away himself. Back at the house he said, "That had to have been one of the most interesting run-ins with adults I have ever had..."

As soon as Lyssa made it to the front door of the Manor her mum came out, having known she arrived since the wards were keyed to Malfoys, alerting them whenever someone came onto the property. Her mum looked both surprised and happy to see her there. Narcissa hugged her once she was close enough, having gotten over the whole 'Lyss being in Gryffindor' thing a few years back. "I was worried about you," she said. "I'm fine," Lyssa muttered, "and so is Draco..." Narcissa released her from the hug with a smile. Lyssa looked at her saying, "I think I'm going to head up to my room for a while. It's been a tiring day, escaping people and all that... If he wants to talk to me any, as I'm sure he knows I'm here by now, well he can just wait." And with that she walked past her mother and up the stairs in the entrance hall.

Cassie smiled amusedly. "I would have to agree there." She sighed and ran a hand through her hair. "They act like first years, really." She shook her head and was about to say something else but didn't because it would probably offend Draco, as he had been assigned to kill the headmaster. She shook the thought off.

Lucy sighed leaning against the wall in what ever room she was in, still rubbing her arm. It was prickly and uncomfortable and looked weird. SHe wondered why Voldemort (though she knew never to say that his face, Dark Lord or master suited that, she internally cringed at the last one) had made the dark marks, it was kind of stupid because everyone else could tell who was a Death Eater and who was not just by looking at their left arm. She had no clue what to do really and prefered to just try and stay in the Shadows. Lucy sighed and walked out of the room nearly walking into someone.

"You'd think that a)they'd be more mature and b) know what the bloody hell they're doing. Most of them fought in the first War," Draco commented, rolling his eyes at the antics of the Order.
~*~*~
Lyssa was almost to her room when someone came out of one of the other doors, close to it and almost walked into her. "Oh wonderful. You're here now too?" she said, raising an eyebrow at the teenager.

Cassie shook her head. "Think being the keyword there Draco," She muttered. "I think in the sixteen or so years something knocked the sense out of them.

Lucy frowned and looked up at the person she had nearly walked in to making a slight face when she noticed that it was the Malfoy she'd met at Hogwarts how ever long ago it was. "It would appear so." She muttered.

"False sense of security caused them to lose their sense is more like it," Draco muttered under his breath, shrugging. "I'm gonna head to my room now."
~*~*~
Lyssa looked at her for a second. "And just what are you doing here?" she asked, eyebrow raising more.

Cassie nodded and left to walk to her room aswell. Grumbling at the idiocy of the Order she pulled out her Ipod and listened to the music diciding that she really needed new magic.

The Slytherin shrugged slightly. "Guess, it's really not that hard to figure out."

Draco walked to his room and took off his cloak before laying down on his bed. Today was turning out to be an eventful day. He wasn't entirely sure he liked it or not yet.
~*~*~
"Allow me to rephrase," Lyssa said. "What the hell were you thinking?"

Lucy shrugged again. "I don't think I was thinking and really I'm not in the mood to discuse it with a person I don't really know." She knew her tone was bitting but she really didn't care she was happy at least she wouldn't get a letter from her mum telling her she was insane, Her mum supported Voldemort and would probably be proud. Lucy sighed twirling her finger in her hair.

Lyssa raised her eyebrow. "Well I'm not in the mood to listen to a teenager that doesn't think," Lyssa replied scowling at her. "Especially one who doesn't think about life altering decisions. But then I suppose it's your life." She shrugged and walked past to her room.

Lucy rolled her eyes at the over dramatic Malfoy who had just walked off to whereever the hell she had been going before nearly walking into her. Lucy didn't really care. She was really wondering what the heck she was doing in a Death Eaters base and wearing the dark mark. She rubbed it again and sighed thinking life was way to complicated. A few years back she'd absolutly hated Voldemort not that that had changed any really, he was a git who needed to get a hobby that didn't include killing people.

Lyssa finished the walk to her room and flopped back on her bed. She looked up at the ceiling for a moment with an irritated sigh.

The next few days passed without much of a drama, which Cassie was thankful for, she had enough on her plate without having to dump extra servings onto it. Sighing she went through the group of people she was teaching a form of defensice magic too fixing their technequies. Some idiot of a Gryffindor had pronounced it wrong and it had turned into a offensice not a defensieive.

The next few days for Draco were dull. He had already learned the spells that Cassie was currently teaching some of the others, so there wasn't anything to do really in that. So he spent much of his time reading books. He winced internally when he heard Cassie, not so lightly, correcting someone who had said the spell wrong.

"Insane people are going to blow my house apart." Cassie muttered grumpily as she walked into the kitchen and got herself a sandwhich, she put her plate in the dishwasher. Having finally bought one a few days back and sat on the top of the bench eating it. She felt like eating like a kid without a plate and sitting on top of benches, it was nice.

After finally deciding to remove herself from her room again Lyssa found herself talking to Voldemort about what had happened with Audentia, and all that she knew about them, though at points she almost didn't want to. He wasn't too happy to learn they were teenagers. She also mentioned the fact that she lacked a wand, and by the end of the day had one.

Lucy went on her first raid a few days later having for some odd reason been chosen, she was not one to flinch from blood but that was only when it was a drop of blood, she found herself staying back and trying to blend in something that she had never wanted to do. She was an idiot she concluded wondering if it were possible to drown out the just noise that penertrated her ears. She'd never really thought about it, she knew it wasn't something just to jump in to, but she had, and why? That was a question she asked herself alot. Why had she? She had found out Snape had died, but what proof did she have that it had been the light and not the dark who had done that?

Lyssa twirled her newly acquired wand in her hand, still not used to the feel of it, but it hadn't been that long since she'd gotten it, so she supposed it only made sense. With a frown she leaned back on a wall. Voldemort was ever so delusional if he thought he could take out Audentia, she reasoned, when even his best Death Eaters couldn't beat them half the time.

Thankfully Lucy managed to keep hidden at the back until it was time to go back to whereever the hell the place where they stayed was. For some odd reason she chanced a glance behind her and regretted it instantly. She shut her eyes as her head spun but opened them quickly as someone shouted at her to get moving, she didn't like the spinning, didn't like the blood didn't really like the whole bloody thing. Not that she had a choice anymore.

Lyssa was walking around the Manor's garden sort of bored. She didn't really have anything to do lately. She was looking at something when she nearly bumped into someone. She looked to see it was that teenager....um....Lucy. "Seems like it's my fault this time," she commented, then noticed the look on the girl's face. "What's up?"

Lucy looked up and saw that it was the Malfoy girl again, she didn't comment when she said that it was her fault, usually Lucy would have been saying that yes it was Malfoy's fault for bumping into her oddly she didn't say a thing. When the girl asked her a question Lucy just shrugged not really wanting to get into it. Why would she care anyway?
