Lyssa still hadn't the slightest clue what was going on. So, she asked, "What's going on?" looking around a little bit.

Taylor cut across Remus who was probably about to splutter some nonsence that she wans't in a position to ask questions and said. "The order wants information of what Voldemort is up to." The girl rolled her eyes thinking that the Order was going to be hard pressed to find someone with information to tell that would tell. Those that would tell wouldn't have an idea what was going on.

"Right, and just what kind of information could I possibly have? I'm 17," Lyssa said, trying to completely play off that she probably knew the most. She just hoped the Order wasn't aware of this.

Taylor glanced at the girl with a smile on her face, and leaned back on two of the legs on the chair she was sitting on. "Nice bluff," She said ignoring Remus who was complaining that this was his investigation. "But we know you know something, otherwise you would still be in the cellar." Taylor played with the ring on her finger, it had a silver band and a black stone, her mother had given it to her a year or so before she had died.

Lyssa frowned. "You people are impecibably annoying," she muttered.

"Part of Our charm," Taylor said with a swift grin. Remus had just about given up on trying to gain the girl's attension and was sitting their sulking. "Are we going to sit here bantering all day or are you going to be even a little bit useful?"

"I'm good with not being useful," Lyssa said.

"Ah Gryffindor," Taylor said with a sigh. "Honestly." She shook her head but was still smiling. "Alright then answer me this, why are you on Voldemort's side?" From the little Taylor had gathered but listening to the adults talk she had heard that the Malfoy girl used to strongly opose Voldemort.

"It's a long, complicated explanation, and I'm not in the mood to share it," Lyssa replied.

Taylor looked at her. "Which leads me to believe that in fact you really do have no reason, and like to kill Muggles and Muggle borns."

"I've never killed anyone, nor do I plan to start doing so," Lyssa said, getting annoyed. "And I do have a reason. I just don't have a reason to want to share it with you."

Taylor raised her eyebrow. "And why would I believe you Little Death Eater?" She was actually enjoying the banter with the other girl, though she didn't think that the Malfoy girl could return that statement.

Lyssa raised an eyebrow. "Little Death Eater?" she asked, using a tone like 'seriously?'. "I have a name."

"I'm sure you do, but we're not exactly here for polite conversations, and anyway, your little and your a Death Eater. It suits you."

"I'm not little..." Lyssa muttered with a scowl.

"Sure your not, and you are now avoiding the topic of conversation we are in here in the first place to discuse." Taylor fiddled with her ring again, throwing it up into the air and catching it.

"I'm not little, and you're going along with it, so why bothering bringing it up again?"

"Because I'm having fun," And then with a roll of her eyes she added. "And I think Remus here will spazz if we don't do anything useful soon." She glanced at the man who was still sitting sulkily.

"Why be useful? Random tangents are much more interesting and fun," Lyssa commented.

"Because I am going to have to sit here until something useful happens, and I really do need to get home and look after my younger siblings and to make sure they havn't destroyed the place." Taylor sighed.

"Well then, let me just go ahead and tell you, I'm not going to be useful, so you may as well just leave now."

"And so we are at an impase. Isn't this fun?" She smiled brightly still playing with the ring on her hand. "You don't believe in what Voldemort's doing," Taylor told her. "So why are you helping him?"

"I'm not going to tell you, because I see no reason to disclose my personal life to someone I don't know," Lyssa said. "Plus, all you get from my answering is some sort of odd satisfaction. There's nothing in my telling you for me."

(and she never wil tell, because Tsuki is trying to figure it out 100% herself)

"I disgree," Taylor said back still smiling. It wasn't often she got to banter like this. "What we get from you telling us, will help us defeat Voldemort, which will in turn help lots of people."

"You've missed my point. There's nothing in it for me if I tell you. And besides, how would you knowing why help you defeat Voldemort?" Lyssa said. "That doesn't make any sense at all."
