A Change of Pace: RoA

Once the Death Eaters had left the Order walked over to where Audentia was. Cassie grinned slightly. She had a feeling this was going to be fun. "Hello," She said with a slight nod to McGonagall who was at the head of the group.

"Hullo," McGonagall said back somewhat shortly. "Would you care to disclose who you people are, since we" she motioned to the Order and herself, "were not aware that there was another large group fighting against the Dark side." She was carefully not to say Voldemort's name.

Cassie was amused at McGonagall's tone, she wodnered how she would react if she found out that the group was a bunch of students SHE had taught. "We are Audentia," Cassie said waving her hand in the direction of the group behind her. "And whether you knew about us or not is not the point is it? The point is that we're both fighting the same enemy."

"It would have been useful to know beforehand. This way we could collaborate information and lead to the downfall of..." She trailed, leaving the name unsaid. "Thus quicker eliminating him."

Cassie raised an eyebrow at her, even if she couldn't see it. "You do realise if we told you before you wouldn't have believed us, probably thinking we were just trying to get information off of you."

"And besides," Lyssa spoke up. "We don't need your information. We have a way of getting our own." She had asked Cassie to do the voice thing to her as well, earlier, since she knew that if it came to it she would fail to be quiet.

"Exactly," Cassie said unable to hold back a smile. "Who are you?" Another voice asked and Cassie turned to see Remus. "We've answered that," Cassie replied with an eyeroll. "We're Audentia." "No I mean who are you, not who are you as a group." "And why should I tell you?"

"Because it would be prudent to know who we are fighting alongside," Remus answered. "No it wouldn't be," Lyssa argued. "You don't need to know who. You just need to know we're on the same side."

"And it might just somehow slip to the opposition who we are. Which is the flaw in your plan, it doesn't keep you anonymity, so the Death Eaters know who you are. Which does create a slight problem in the keeping a life outside fighting perspective of things."

"Really it does," Lyssa agreed. "And it also gives away who your spies are if you have any."

"I like them," One of the order members said randomly. Remus whacked his hand into his face. Cassie smiled somewhat. "Anything other stupid questions you'd like to ask?" She asked cocking her head to the side. "Or can I go back to what I was doing before."

No one said anything for a second until Lyssa spoke. "Ca-" she coughed to cover up the almost slip. "Sorry, anyway, I have to go now."

Cassie looked at Lyssa, glad she'd caught herself in time. Cassie nodded at her. "Alright Lunar I'll see you back at HQ later." "Luna?" Remus asked. "Nickname," Cassie said shrugged as Lyssa apperated away. "Lunar Butterfly. Which brings me to a different point, if you ever need to contact me, I'm Red Crystal."

Lyssa really didn't want to leave. She was sort of having fun, but she had to keep up pretenses. Appearing just far enough to be seen, she removed and vanished her cloak back to HQ.

"Anything else?" Cassie asked in a bored tone, though she was really quite amused. "I want to be getting home now,"

"Just one last thing," Remus said. "Where did this Lunar Butterfly person disappear to? It seemed rather sudden and urgent."

Cassie wanted to whack him over the head. "That," She said her tone icy. "Is none of your business, she had other comitments elsewhere."

Remus made a noncommittal noise and said, "That's all then."

"Lovely," Cassie said, putting her hand over her bracelet and whispering the keyword in a voice so low that even she coudln't hear it. She was portkeyed away. The rest of Audentia followed her lead and soon the order was left standing there on their own. "I want one of their cloaks," Taylor said dreamily as soon as they were gone.

Lyssa came back a little while later, looking even more pissed than she had the first time. She was sore and possibly bleeding, and it'd taken an hour for her to get back after the others, so she was not happy at all.

Cassie made sure everyone was feeling alright and that younger ones got back to Hogwarts, before flopping down on the chair. Dueling was tiresome. She yawned, looking up at Lyssa entered the room looking in a somewhat bad mood.

As she walked in, Lyssa spotted Cassie. "Can you tell if my back got scratched and is bleeding any from when I smacked into a wall?" she asked, knowing it hurt but not sure if there was bleeding.

"Sure," Cassie said getting up and walking over to Lyssa. The back of the shirt was coated somewhat in blood. "Yeah," She said with a nod and a frown. "You are. Want me to fix it up?"

"If you wouldn't mind," Lyssa said, "that would be wonderful. It hurts like hell."

Cassie got out her wand, telling Lyssa to hold her shirt up. Cassie stopped the flow of the bleeding, which by this stage wasn't very much then she healed up the injury.
