Hostage (Lily & Mag)

[jack]

There was a loud crack as Jack apparatedinto the house with Lily Potter. He pointed his wand at the ropes binding her. "Diffindo" The ropes were cut, and they fell away. "Don't bother trying to escape. You have to have the dark mark to enter or exit this house otherwise it will be like walking into a brick wall." They were in the kitchen. He pointed his wand at the coffee maker, and it immediatly started to brew coffee. Jack took a seat at the table, and picked up the news paper, and began to read. "Make yourself at home Lily you will be here for a while. Do remember the better behaved you are the more pleasant things will be around here."

Jack seemed to have had a realisation at that moment. With a flick of his wand a piece of parchment, and a quill appeared, and he quickly scribbled a note to Magdalene to tell her that he had Lily, and to request her to come join him at the Riddle house over little hangleton. He whistled, and an owl flew in through the window. He tied the letter to it's leg and sent it off. "Don't try to send any letters he will only attack you if you try to use him."

Lilly looked around the kitchen, she knew she was going to be stuck here a while. As she had no escape she knew she would have to behave. She watched him take a seat and just stood there, usure of what to do. After what she had seen in the pub she thought he was messed up.. sick in the head. Hadn't she picked the right day to storm out of the Potter house to end up trapped at the Riddle house. Its official im an idiot she told herself, and glanced back to see what Jack was writing.

"Seeing as im stuck here... what is there that i can do?" she asked as she watched the owl fly back out the window. Well there was another thing she couldn't do, no save me mail.. though she doubted she would have attempted it. She took a seat at the other end of the table.

Chase the Morning…

Mag was sitting in the middle of her apartment, looking over some new music sheets for some sort of benefit that Muggle division of ReaperCorp wanted her to sing in. As a division of the full Reaper, the Muggles plainly served the wizard that was in charge of it. And mag had no choice but to comply with his wishes. The benefit was for Merlin knows what, and it was in the upcoming months. Other than that, Mag had nothing to do. Her back was up against the couch and the radio was playing music. She did have a television set, but the only thing on would be the muggle news. Some shows she did like and were quite funny, but they didn't come on until later that evening.

Instantly, her mind kept on going back to that day and moment in the Green Dragon. She'd replay it, but if someone had walked in, they would want to know who it was and all the details. Mag knew that Jack wouldn't want her talking about him, and so the memory replayed inside her head, for once. She got up and was headed into the kitchen when she heard a tapping noise on the window. Looking back behind her, she saw an owl, an eagle owl to be specific. Walking back, she opened it an let him in. The creature hopped in and held out the leg in which a letter was tied on.

She untied it, and let the bird onto her hand. She had to have some owl snacks here somewhere. Her own owl had just died, but not before leaving an egg behind. Meanwhile as she looked for the food, Mag had opened the letter with one hand. It was from Jack, and he wanted her at the Riddle House. He had kidnapped Lily. So soon…? she thought. She honestly didn't want to go, but the young woman had no choice. Finding the owl snacks, she gave him two, and set him loose. He could stay here for the night if the creature wished. It was a long way back to Little Hangleton. She quickly went to her room and started to find clothes, she didn't want to go in her P.J.'s. Soon she found it--the sparkling strapless dress which she put on. On top of that was a full length robe, a very dark navy blue with an imprinted rock-like pattern on it. Over these, she fastened a leather waist clincher. Grabbing her wand, she tapped her face and instantly make-up was there, perfect to a t.

She sighed as she looked out the window into the darkness. She thought about Little Hangleton. Some concerts had been performed there, but she had never been to the Riddle House. She thought about it and concentrated on it. Feeling the pressuring sensation, and like her head was about to implode in on her, she was finally released, and was looking up at a unkempt looking old house. Putting on the large hood of her cloak, she walked up the pathway to the door. Instantly, she showed her Dark Mark--a tip from a fellow--and the door swung open. She stepped inside and paused for a second, watching the door close fast.

She walked around, getting a feel for the dark dingy place. Lord Voldemort had once lived here--even if it was for a short time. She shuddered at the though. Mag knew the light had been on in the kitchen, she just liked to snoop for a bit. Eventually, she made her way to the occupied room, and found Jack sitting there, along with a red-headed girl that she knew as Lily Potter. She took the hood off, her hair now shining even in the dim light, and the pale blue, naturally wide and freakish eyes looking at the girl intently. "Well well, isn't this surprising. Didn't your mother ever teach you not to talk to strangers?" she asked a bit mockingly. She had to play the part, even if she felt sorry.

[alicia]

Lilly heard the front door slam, it made her jump. Anyone could have walked into the house and she wondered if this day was going to decline from bad to worse. She watched the kitchen door anxiously waiting for the new comer to come it, but who ever it was was taking their sweet precious time. She wondered the possibilities of who it was. Soon the door opened, and she saw a pretty woman walk in and take off her cloak, she had the most amazing eyes.
Yes my mother did actually she thought to herself but dared snap back at her. She was stuck with two what seemed death eaters now, she was deffinatly sticking on good behaviour, she knew from stories her family told her about the torturing spells they used on their so called prisoners and she would rather not have that done to her. She looked away from the woman and then back to the table, she wouldnt answer. As Jack had said the more behaved she was the better her stay would be and she would abide by that no matter what.

[jack]

Jack heard Lily's question and he didn't even lower the paper. "You are not a prisoner here you are a guest. Feel free to do what ever you like. Explore the house practice spells, anything. If you like later on I can teach you the unforgivables. You are with the deatheaters now laws no longer matter. Underage wizardry it is but a suggestion to us. It's also one we don't listen to seeing as I only went to school for three years the rest I learned by home schooling." He heard the coffee maker ding. He flicked his wand at it, and it poured to cups. One cup floated over to Jack two lumps of sugar and a little bit of cream added itself along the way, and it stirred itself. "Tell the coffee how you lie it."

He heard the door open, and the coffee poured a third cup. Jack however did not wait for the person to come through the door. When she entered the kitchen he folded the paper, and stood up. A wide smile spread across his face. "Hey there." he said as he walked over to her. He wrapped an arm around Magdalenes waist. "Now now she made a mistake while in a bad mood it could happen to any one. Soon she may decide that it was a blessing, and not a mistake after all." Jack gave Mag a quick yet passionate kiss then he turned to the young girl. "Now Lily I would preffer that you think of us as your friends, and not your captors. We are not bad people. We mearly stand for things that others believe to be wrong. It is just a difference of opinions."

[alicia]

Lilly watched the coffee machine. After he had asked her to tell it how she like it, she looked at him and replied, "I dont drink coffee" it was an un amused tone , however she couldnt help think that he was going to teach her the unforgivable curses. She didn't know what to think, she was exited and scared at the same time. He had said the rules didn't matter here, yet when or if she left she knew they would matter then.

She looked at the pair of them, they seemed to be a couple, Oh how sweet, death eaters can love after all she thought to herself as a small smirk came onto her face. How can i think of them as friends... she thought again but this time decided to ask. "You may be standing for a differant opinion, i don't mind that at all, however i can't see how we can be friends as such considering im stuck here against my will" She forgot for a second that they were death eaters, till she had realized what she had said and she went quiet again.

Chase the Morning…

Mag took a look at Lily for a few more minutes, trying to analyze her. She seemed pretty calm for being here, whereas Mag probably would've been extremely frightened and trying to do everything she could to escape. She looked like a lovely young lady, but maybe not too bright, or a bit naïve, as she was caught and trapped here. Then her mind slightly wandered to wondering what Jack did to get her here. The darkened lips curved into a smile though she didn't feel too pleasant about kidnapping Harry Potter's Daughter. But she was a tutor, not a part of the actual plan. Her eyes clicked together as she looked to Jack who was reading the paper. She rolled her eyes and heard the coffee machine, then saw the three cups. Coffee wasn't her usual preference, but if offered she would take it.

When Jack got up, she smiled and watched him come over, and felt his arm around her. As his hand came in close contact with her left arm, she slightly flinched, careful not to show it though. "Hey yourself…" she murmured, eyes giving full attention to Lily once more. "Sorry," she said to the girl, remembering her angered expression. "I'm Magdalene… but everyone calls me Mag," she added, a more truthful sympathetic tone coming to her voice. She remembered that to get information out of the girl, she needed to play the part of family. Big sister perhaps. Being kept here against her will, it reminded Mag of herself.

She sat down at the table, looking straight into Lily's face. She tried to figure how she could make an example out of herself, but Mag really didn't know how to word it out. Being an organ replacement recipient, it was kind of like being captured. No, words came to mind on how to put it, because her life was her choice, but Lily being here, well she was forced into it. She put on the sweet innocent tone again, the feeling of it truthful down to her very bone. "Lily. Please, all we want is to show you everything we know. Jack figured that this would be the best way, so we wouldn't get caught by your father. Once we are finished--though we don't know how long this will take--you are free to leave…"

She looked back up at Jack and got up, glancing back at Lily, as she pushed him aside into the hallway. "Look, let me handle this from now on. I'm probably going to be the only one she can truly trust around here…" she said, not meaning it as an insult, but considering who the girl's present company was going to be for the next few weeks, Mag figured that she would have to take care of the situation herself. Sure, he had said that he wouldn't harm her, but these days no one could trust anyone, not even those on their side. She got a few inches from his face and the eyes clicked slowly. "Please…" she pleaded putting the puppy face effect on, remembering what he had said about after that day that she would have to handle things on her own.

[alicia]

Lilly looked at her, there was something about her eyes.. did they click? Confuzed she just didn't bother to ask. She listened to what the woman had to say. Her name was Mag.. was she truly trying to make friends?
However she could hear the sympathetic tone coming through her words and she eased herself a bit. Perhaps my stay wont be as bad... She could see the woman was truthful as she spoke, she felt like perhaps they could be friends. Maybe all deatheaters arn't that bad she thought again.

Lilly spoke again. "Like the unforgivable curses?" Lilly smiled, she had a fascination with magic, and perhaps while the rules didn't matter here, then maybe she would be forgiven if she did such forbidden curses. "Ok, i'll let you teach me..." she had believed that the being captured wasn't all so bad.. they had given her freedom in the house, they hadn't tied her up or anything, so she agreed to allow them to teach her what they know.

She watched as Mag took Jack out, she wondered what they were talking about. She took a deep breath, she had calmed down a lot now, she could see their point of view. She had completely forgotten they were planning on killing her father, she was more frightened for her own saftey, she waited for them to come back in. She was anxious to learn what they wanted to teach, perhaps if she befriended them then they might let her go sooner.

[jack]

Jack smiled at Lily's comment, but before ho could say anything Mag had spoken for him, and he let it sit as that. He stood back, and let her take charge. Then she pulled him aside into a hallway. He liked how she was handeling the situation though he was sure there was more to her intentions than she was letting on. However he would let it be. He grinned at her efforts as to convincing him to let her have her way. "I will let you handle this how ever you want, but she must learn to trust us all. I don't mean just the two of us either I mean death eaters in general. Also I plan on being completely upfront with her. She knows that she is here as a means for me to kill her father."

Jack looked towards the door to see if he could hear her moving around then he turned back to Mag. "You can be her friend, and I will be her teacher. As for trust she can't fully trust either of us. She can't trust anyone, and I won't hesitate to tell her that. She must learn to trust herself, her magic, and her instincts that is it." He gave her a passionate kiss. Then he pulled away, and brushed her hair back behind her ear with his hand. "This will all work out you'll see." Then he turned, and went back into the kitchen.

He walked over to the counter, and he opened a drawer. The drawer was full or marijuana blunts. He took one out, and put it in his mouth. He lit with the tip of his wand. Then he pulled two more out of the drawer, and closed it. He put the two blunts on the counter with his wand in front of Lily. "Go ahead, and smoke one it will calm your nerves, and it's something to do. You can use my wand to light it." He then turned to Magdalene. "The other one is for you. I have a feeling that you could use it as well."

Jack took a step back and leaned against the wall as he took a long drag of his own blunt. "Lily if there is anything that will make your stay here more comfortable let me know. I am not a bad host, and I have more than enough money. I only have one rule, and that is that you will show respect for me as well as anyone else that comes into this house, and you will be treated the same way." He took another long drag from his blunt, and he turned to look out the window. He was debating on whether or not he should inform his mother that she was there.

[alicia]

Lilly watched as the pair came back in, she hadn't heared anything, and dared not evesdrop incase they caught her. She watched as he had his back to her and he pulled something out of the drawer. She looked at it, she knew what it was just by the smell. "I.. I don't smoke.. thanks anyway.." she admitted wondering wether this would go down very well. She watched as he lit his spliff up but didn't touch the other two on the table.

She put her hands under the table. "I am very comfortable.. thanks" she lied, she would rather not sit there sulking like any other child would have if they had gotten kidnapped. She fiddled with her hair a little bit. She wondered what they would teach her, she wondered what her family were doing.. did they know she was missing yet? Did they care? She shook the thought out of her head, Of course they care... dont they? She always knew she was the outcast Slytherin of the family.

She glanced back at Mag in the door way, wondering if she would take the Marujuana. She wouldnt. She also looked up to listen to what Jack was saying. If she payed them respect she would get respect back. "Ok, i can go with that..." she replied once he had finished his scentence.

[jack]

Jack smirked. "You don't have to smoke if you don't want to. Excuses are not needed, and don't bother to lie to me I can tell when people lie." He said in a completely calm voice. "If you should change your mind you now know where I keep them feel free to help yourself. There's butterbeer in the frige, and fire whiskey in the freezer. Anything you want just take it you don't have to ask. Just let me know if we run out of something." He smiled at her to let her know that he wasn't upset with her lie.

Mag couldn't help but smile and she nodded to Lily's question--though she could not understand the girl's fascination with magic like this. "Of course the Unforgivable Curses… and anything else you'd like to learn, please do not hesitate to ask me… about anything…" She could feel the curiosity from the girl about her eyes. But everyone often felt that--even those who knew. "I'm just an owl away, if he'll let you be permitted to do so…" she said, looking back at him. "I hear you have two older brothers… just think of me as a big sister…" It was rather weird for her to say this and actually feel something about it. Mag was an only child, both as an orphan and adopted.

The singer nodded to the man in front of her. It was going to be rather hard to convince Lily that the Death Eaters were actually misunderstood, and half of them nowadays possibly were. "She'll trust all of us, Jack; I can see that it will all be handled. I'm a girl, she's a girl--it'll be a girl talk..." Mag's big heart always got in the way, and this time it would actually be of some important use. Mag's eyes widened however, giving the full detail of the pinwheel shape her pupils had been designed in. "You actually told her that…?" she questioned. Being upfront was one thing, but completely honest in a situation like this--no matter how much it seemed to be called for--well that was just plain dumb.

However, she felt a responsibility to teach Lily as well. "You can handle the Dark Magic. I'm not as skilled as I should be, but everything else I'm handling…" she said firmly. But the kiss closed the mechanical eyes in one click and she sighed inwardly. She kept them closed until a moment after he pulled away, and half-opened them as he put a piece of hair behind her ear. She turned, watching him walk away and back into the kitchen.

She followed him and walked back to the table, sitting down in her same spot. She watched him pull something out of the drawer, lighting it. Tow more were also out and she knew. Her eyes narrowed in a death-like stare as he offered one to Lily, and then to her. "Oh no you don't… I have to sing, and I'm not smoking and ruining my voice… you know what'll happen if I can't sing Jack…" she said, rather angrily. Mostly she was angry about him offering that to a child. "Nerves or not, shame on you for offering it to her…" Ah, the colors of her upbringing in a proper household were showing, and Mag was starting to show her temperament.

But she looked back at Lily as he spoke. For some reason he seemed to be good with children, and Mag smiled on the inside.

((OOC: wow... I seem to be taking my sweet time... sorry if I am... just unpacking everything and watching a movie at the same time... ))

[alicia]

Lilly looked at Mag, she was telling him shame on himself for her health. Perhaps she truly did care about Lilly. Lilly respected that, and a smirk pasted her face.
"Wow your a singer?" Lilly asked remembering her saying she sang. She knew the woman looked pretty and she thought of the singing voice that could go with it. She bet it was angelic. She looked at Jack and back at Mag.

[jack]

Jack laughed. "Very well I will not offer it again, but as I said earlier I do not have rules here. If she decides that she wants one I will not stop her." Jack walked over To Magdalene, and kissed her cheek. "I'll leave the two of you to your girl talk. I have some business that I must attend to. I will be back soon." He turned to Lily with a smile. "You two play nice. If you get hungry just tell the oven what you want, and it will whip it right up." He turned, and gave Magdalene a quick kiss, and was gone with a loud crack.

Mag suddenly turned back to Lily. "Yes. I am… For the past three years, it's been professional…" she explained, though not really wanting to go into details. Though if this girl was to become 'one of them', she might as well learn all the evils that were waiting in store. but she would let Lily ask the questions when the time came, and Mag would be happy to answer, just as she said she would. "It's mostly opera what I do, but I do sneak a few extra genres in there as well," she added with a small smirk. The questions she dreaded Mag knew were about to come up, but they had to be known.

The glare that followed his words seemed much kinder than the one before, but it helped her to know that he wouldn't do it again. "Good," she muttered under her breath as he walked over. She blushed as Jack kissed her cheek and stood there, instructing them on what to do if they got hungry. She figured he was to go speak with his mother, and Mag semi-prayed that she didn't come here. Bellatrix Lestrange was a force to be reckoned with in her day, and Mag knew nothing had changed. "All right… see you soon then," she said, then felt the peck of a kiss on her lips. It was moments after he walked off that he heard the crack of his Disapperating.

She turned back to Lily. "Now then…" she said, her eyes clicking again. "What would you like to do?" she asked. "And don't say leave, because it'll be my head if I let you escape…"
