Kelly flinched slightly when Caeleb's foot hit the stool, but she didn't let it show. They both knew that it was way too much of a public place, to kick anything off. She let out a sigh, pulled the chair towards herself and sat down. She adjusted the position of the chair so, that she'd have time to react if Caeleb tried anything. There was just enough space between her and the table, though not as much space between them two, as she would've liked.
"I'M gonna buy my own butterbeer MYSELF, thank you very much" she snapped, before signaling to Rosmerta that she'd like a drink. "What now?" she asked in a bored voice "you wanna come back to my place, so we could play home?" She couldn't understand what Caeleb was up to, though it had to be something really big, if he was willing to pretend to like someone, who he quite obviously hated.

He rolled his eyes but shrugged as she ordered her drink. Fine. Let her do this her way. She was never one for relinquishing power or control. And if she was going to be any use to him she would need to think she was in control. So let her think that.
He let her get settled and then leant forward, placing his fingertips beneath his chin and leaning on his elbows.
"Fair enough, no more crap. I don't like you. You don't like me. Fine. But I'm here for a good reason. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm...actually here for a good reason. I sense something going on at Hogwarts. I don't know what and I don't know who's involved. But I want to find out what it is." he explained, actually telling the truth for a change.

A boy maybe only months younger than himself entered and he felt a disturbing level of affection coming from the boy that turned his stomach. He watched as the boy walked towards a girl who had been seated by the window. She too gave off the same sickly emotion and he tore his attention away, unable to stomach it. *dunno whether this was Brogan walking to Emma... but it is now =]* Everytime the door opened, Emmaline looked up, hoping to see Brogan walk through the door. But everytime she looked up it wasn't him. Then, someone started walking up to her table, and she looked up. Her face lit up, and she smiled. Standing, she took a few steps towards him, and when he was close enough she flung her arms around him, not caring if she was making a scene inthe middle of the pub. "I've missed you so much," she murmured into his shoulder as she hugged him. |

Kelly took a sip of her butterbeer. As Caeleb leant forwads, she leant backwards. She looked at him thoughtfully. She knew that she could never trust the person opposite him, yet he didn't look as threatening to her as he had done around 20 minutes ago.
"You're here for a GOOD reason?" she repeated sarcastically. "That would be a first." She chuckled under her breath but still listened to what he had to say. "Why are you interested in Hogwarts? I would've thought you would be done with that place after what happened." once again for a second she felt guilty for mentioning Kildara, but that feeling didn't last for long. She took another gulp of her drink. "What could possibly be happening there? Since the last battle everone's gone into hiding. Atleast those who didn't end up dead or in" she chocked on her words as she remembered Danika "in Azkaban" she let out a deep sigh. "Besides, that new headmistress of theirs has made the school a happy place for everone. Gryffindor and Slytherin being friends and a load of rubbish like that." she said in a mocking voice.

Caeleb snorted.
"Slytherin and Gryffindor will never be friend." he said scornfully. "Templeton does seem to be the picture of peace and harmony, doesn't she?" he commented with a distinct edge of distaste. "She's no fool, though. I've already had one run-in with her."
He waved at the bartender to request a refill.
"And if you don't mind, I care a great deal about that school. My wife loved that school. Despite everything she was completely dedicated to her position as Headmistress and I know she wouldn't want to see those kids come to harm." He explained passionately. He was laying it on a little thick, and it wasn't exactly a lie. Dara had loved Hogwarts.

A thousand memories flashed through his mind: her her, her scent, her soft skin. A deep well in his stomach churned with the emotions he'd been fighting with all year. So many times he'd imagined seeing her again. But now she was actually here... And then she was in his arms. Her scent; her wonderful, exotic, heavenly scent filled his senses. He buried his face in her hair and held her tightly against him, feeling her soft, warm shape against him making him tremble. He breathed her deeply in turning his face into her neck. He pulled back a little to cup her face with a single hand and gaze into the eyes he'd been longing for for so long. A joyous smile filled his eyes as he lent his forehead against hers. "I missed you too, baby. Oh Lord how I've missed you." |

He was laying it on a little thick, and it wasn't exactly a lie. Dara had loved Hogwarts. Kelly had to agree. She had heard a fair deal about the new Headmistress, but she had also heard that she wasn't even close to Kildara's level. When Caeleb spoke about Kildara's love towards the school, she had to laugh ''She loved the school? She didn't want the students any harm? What world have you been living in, my dear.'' she took a sip of her own drink again ''If she really loved that place so much, then why have a death match in between those walls? What about all those kids and their families who got killed during the battle? She didn't seem too bothered about them then.'' she then realized that she wasn't exactly the best person to bring that up, since she'd killed a few people as well. ''anyway, no point in bringing that up. What do you think is going on in Hogwarts then? Or do you not have any of your usual bright ideas.'' she took another sip of her drink and looked back at Caeleb, but her eyes drifted away from his face to his hand. He could still see her very own black mark, burnt on the back of his hand. A victorious smile spread all over her face. |

Caeleb shook his head, more to himself than at her. She didn't get it.
"You're wrong. About so many things. But I'm not here to bicker about things we're never going to agree on." he scowled when she caught sight of her little memento on his hand. Even when the demon had taken control he hadn't been able to remove that "scar".
He watched her for a few moments, his eyes narrowed. God he hated her. It was hard to be civil.
"And no, I have no idea what's going on. I just know that something is stirring. And that's why I'm here. I'm...scouting." he explained, pausing to think of the right word to describe the naive patsy he was planning to recruit as his eyes and ears inside the school.
"Like I said I need someone on the inside. Someone who can help me find out exactly what is going on."

One, she will admit she had dreamt about. When he pulled back, and his hand cupped her face, she returned his smile, taking in a deep breath as their foreheads rested together. He was really here, and they were together. "The parents don't know I'm here," she murmured. She had slipped out from school and came here, hoping no one would notice she was gone for the weekend. She doubted they would, people stayed out a lot. She pulled her head back to actually look at him. "I have all weekend... if you do..." |

She didn't wanna get caught off guard, if he was to suddenly change his mind about having a decent sort of conversation. She drowned her drink as she listened to him. "How can you possibly find someone to help you out? I mean, most people know what you are" she smiled at him in disgust "and besides what good would it be for someone to help you find out what's going on? What can you possibly offer that damned soul, who's willing to help you?" |

"I have all weekend, all week, all month, all year and all my life for you, baby." he murmured into her ear. "I might not let you go back. I might keep you here." he added and then leant back a bit to he could look at her properly. She looked a little different. Her hair style was slightly different and he was sure her make up was too. But her eyes, her lips, the curve of her eyebrows and cheeks: all the things that stayed the same, all the thing that mattered. "I can't believe you're here. I was starting to think I'd never see you again." |

And even more have no idea what I am. Besides, my dear, even you don't know what I really am. Besides, you and I aren't the only bitter and twisted individuals around here. There are plenty of little brats in that school feeling all hard done by like the world hates them. Just waiting for Uncle Caeleb to come along and understand them." He explained with an edge of amused sarcasm to his tone. "The plan is pretty simple. I pick one who's just bitter enough and just naive enough. Someone young and misunderstood. Someone who maybe has a few scores to settle. I take them under my sympathetic wing and, "Alohamora!". I have eyes and ears inside Hogwarts." He leant back in his seat a little and watched her face for reaction. "Doesn't seem so long ago that would have described you. Sweet little Kelly. So misunderstood and angry. Such a difficult childhood. Shame you're not still at Hogwarts. You'd have been perfect." He mocked in a deliberately patronising tone. |

This was the first weekend I'd managed to get them to let me spend it at school instead of at home under their watchful eyes." As he spoke, she nodded, fully understanding the feeling that they may have never seen each other again... Or at least not for a long time. A very long time. "I couldn't go much longer without you. I miss you every single second of the day... And I love you so much..." She had been dying to tell him that since he'd been sent here. |

His face fell when he heard how she'd been treated back in Ireland. He thought he'd had it bad stuck here alone at Hogwarts with no one but Clear to talk to. Poor Em had been stuck at home with the parents judging her and suffocating her this whole time. He pulled her into a hug. "I wish you could stay. I hate to think of you going back to that. And lord help you if they find out you've been gone." He sighed and released her. "Well I guess we better make the most of the time we have together. What would you like to do? Anything you want." he asked with a soft smile. |

Kelly';s eyes narrowed again as Caeleb spoke. He knows way too much about me, doesn't he she thought to herself. She thought back on the brief moments when her and Caeleb had clashed before and she had to admit, he was right. "I'm not by far who I used to be" she said quietly. Her every emotion had died when Danika was sentenced. Though there were some that remained. Revenge, anger, pain, hate and thirst. Even those had died down over the past year. It had just been that horrible thirst that had remained. The thirst of someone's touch, someone's breath on her neck. Lips connecting in a passionate kiss. Snap out of it! she ordered herself. This was not the time to daydream. Maybe once she would've turned to Caeleb for that, but that time was long forgotten. "I've told you once before. Everyone needs to grow up at some point and to take responsibility for their actions. The misunderstood, weak times are long gone." |
