Shadow in the Darkness [CUTTER/JULIETTE]

[Dracinda Malichi]

Dracinda had been given a job by the head of the auror's department to shadow another Auror, who's name was Cutter while on the job to try and find something that would get this Juliette person. The woman had been cleared and proven innocent by the Ministry but apparently there were still some who thought different and after looking over a file she felt the same. If you were suspected of supporting the Dark Lord, Or caught with something Dark in your possession. You were no saint, You were guilty there was no denying it. So now her and this other Auror who she didn't know very well were on their way to try and get some Intel that could snare the woman. Well it was his job to get the Intel, Her job to shadow him in case of a problem or if they found something that needed to be supported. Which would most definitely be needed for someone who had once been cleared by the Ministry.

Leaning against the wall of one of the shops that lined the cobble stone street she looked around waiting to see if the other Auror was ever going to show. This is where they were suppose to meet. She was wearing muggle clothes which was what she normally worse whether at work or in her free time. She was wearing a pair of faded boot cut jeans, an off white long sleeve scoop neck top, a black cropped vest, with short patented lace up heeled boots. Her long hair was straightened out hanging down to her lower back and framing her pale face the hot pink strand in it standing out amongst the bleached out blond hair. She wore a black beanie on her head and sunglasses covered her blue eyes that were framed with dark lashes covered in mascara and framed with black eyeliner with a black and red smokey eye effect.

Dracinda looked around the alley in boredom as she waited, her wand sticking out of her front pocket, the faint scent of lavender and freesia wafting into the air. Her fingers of her right hand absent minded fiddled at the dragon necklace she wore, the green emerald of her Claddagh ring glinting in the sun that shown down on the small busy alley. Her pink stained lips moved as she chewed on the stick of a lollipop that had long since been devoured. As her right hand rest casually near her belt buckle where her thumb was secured behind the belt. She could tell by the less bustle of the alley that it was nearing noon when lunch was taken by many.

Sighing she rolled her eyes wondering when this guy was gonna make an appearance. Even though she had nothing better to do and was determined to make evidence stick to this woman she was hell bent on being guilty of the charges that had been cleared and dropped but her idiotic comrades at the ministry of magic. If it wasn't for the Minister being keen on not believing Voldemort was back, When the snake faced bastard was indeed back - She was damn well certain this woman would be behind bars.

[Juliette Beaucoup]

Nothing is completely evil just as nothing is completey good. There have always been shades of black and white on people's moralities and personalities. Wizards whom have been considered to be good have (whether they admit it or not) been convicted to do terrible things as much as its vice versa. Its just that most wizards perfer to see the redemption less valuable than turn-coating. Afterall, did Dracinda not say that no one deserves a second chance? It is left-winged people like her that makes the evil in this world; that classifies the evil in this world, rather than try to understand it and figure out why people choose paths very few consider to follow. The true evil here is stereotyping; judging a character by its seems.

If she was even alive during those days, and was considered a third class wizarding creature like Beaucoup, then perhaps the young witch would understand the decisions she had made during those years. The Ministry in the past treated creatures, hybrids, like animals and it got to a point where Juliette just couldn't take it anymore. The Veela wanted change, and she felt that the only way it was going to happen was to stand up against the Ministry of Magic. He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named made many promises, and Juliette believed The Dark Lord's promises much more than The Ministry's lies. Especially when the veela had her own plans up her sleeves.

If Dracinda fells that she can catch Juliette on the act, the young witch is sorely mistaken. Juliette is not only seven times older than Dracinda, but had once worked with the Ministry as an Auror for many many years; longer than Dracinda's lifespan. She knew the laws of the Wizarding world just as much as she knew the books that she sold, and when wizards and witches like her came in to question Juliette about her ties with the Death Eaters, they found that they were only waisting there time.

However, Juliette liked playing with peoples' minds, and as she turned around the corner between her office and the front desk, there were already a few customers eager to buy a great book. She smilied and asked how they were doing when they walked by. A pleasant, unstereotyped,look would come on their face as they said "I am fine, thank you". Juliette mentioned that if they needed any help, they can simply ask for her assitance. It was quite nice working in the Book Shop on the weekends while teaching young wizards and witches dueling technique during the weekdays. However, that smirk will soon be wiped off her face when she sees that two Aurors would be walking into her front door.

[Cutter Ryan]

Cutter was very uncomfortable with his new 'shadow' and he was quite vocal about it in the office. It was nothing personal, he was sure the girl was pleasant enough and perhaps even a suitable auror, but he wasn't ready for a new partner. With his former associate, his twin brother, still lying in a bed at St. Mungos with no foreseeable release date, Cutter was feeling very pissy about being forced to move on. He would have preferred working alone, impatiently waiting on his brothers return to duty. The only benefit to having a 'shadow' was the boost to his already inflated ego, knowing they paired new aurors with the good and experienced ones. He believed he was a bloody good auror, the attack that hospitalized him was only a lucky shot, nothing more.

It was time to meet up with her in Diagon Alley and investigate Juliette's Bookshop of Magic, for any evidence that she was a willing Wizard of the Death Eaters. Something about the whole mission didn't feel right. Every time Cutter tried to think of any reason that his former dueling professor might be involved with he-who-must-not-be-named, his head hurt. It felt as if someone had forcibly removed a memory from him, but left a noticeable hole in his mind; every attempt to search for the contents, or even a reason why it was missing, caused him a great deal of pain. It might not be fair to the young girl he was paired up with, Cutter reacted to pain with anger and objects tended to go flying around the room, either magically or physically aided.

His partner seemed to be waiting for him outside the shop, her stance suggested she was bored of waiting. He wasn't all that late.. maybe twenty minutes or so.. It wasn't like him to be late, but he needed some extra time to goad himself into showing up. The final straw was reminding himself that he could have lost his job for continuing to fight the system. The fact that his 'shadow' was a former Slytherin wasn't even a concern of his, she simply wasn't his brother and Cutter didn't want to learn a new partner's quirks or habits.

I really don't want a partner..
No one is listening to you in the office, you complain too much..
She's too young and wears far to much makeup.. she's gonna draw too much attention..
And your shirt won't? You sound old and whiny. Stop it you retard..
Cutter ran his fingers through his hair and scratched the back of his head. It was a trick he learned at an early age, to silence his internal conflicts before they turned vocal and people thought he was nuts. No, he wasn't schizophrenic. It was a family trait, all the men seemed to argue with themselves and if they weren't careful, they said very inappropriate things in public. Although he was able to guard his mind from intruders, it was best not to accidentally project anything that sounded insane, to some poor unsuspecting bystander.

Cutter stopped in front of the young auror and raised a brow, leaving no real expression on his face to indicate his annoyance. It really wasn't her in particular that he was displeased with.
"Alright Dracinda, we're looking for anything questionable. Quietly use 'Specialis Revelio' on anything you suspect. Do not draw attention to yourself or beak off the owner. Especially not Profess.. I mean Juliette. She is quick with her wand." He stated, not particularly concerned if the young witch knew the protocol or not, he would not be held responsible for any incidents, if she disregarded the code of conduct. Cutter gestured towards the door then checked his back pocket for his wand.

"After you. Keep your wand ready." He was ready, his mind was guarded from any legilimens around.

[Dracinda Malichi]

Dracinda continued to watch for the Auror who she had been assigned to as a new partner. She had heard about his brother who had been for god only knew how long placed in St. Mungo's. Not only that but she had heard his arguments about not wanting a new partner. She could understand, She would feel the same if she was in his position. But sometimes you had to put things to the side and move on for the time being. She finally spotted the man. Cutter. Who she had to Shadow. Using her foot she pushed off from against the wall and removed her sunglasses.

"About time. I thought you weren't going to show and I would have to do this all by myself. Not that I wouldn't mind."

She spoke as she looked at him with her blue eyes a blaze, She wanted to get this over with but wasn't gonna rest easy till she found something. She had never liked the woman even when she was in school. She had only taken the dueling class for a short time before dropping it for something else. Not really needing it in the first place as she learned better by teaching herself. Tossing her hair over her shoulder she began walking with him,

"I know the drill. Lets just hope we pin something to this Bitch. I don't like her and I know she's rotten to the core."

Reaching the shops she looked at him as if to say, I know shut up and lets do this already. Walking into the store casually She hung her sunglasses by one leg in her pocket and her eyes began scanning the room as if interested, which she was. Interested in getting evidence and locking the woman up. Walking around the shop she glanced at everything her eyes landed on. Blue irises raking it as a spell was cast non verbally to reveal anything that may not seem obvious.

[Juliette Beaucoup]

The shop wasn't a big place, which meant that Juliette was bound to see the blond witch and Cutter Ryan. When turning her head, she froze a bit. It has been quite some time since they have seen each other. Last time she recalled the two of them in the same room, it was in the court rooms of The Ministry of Magic.

She shifted herself from behind the desk. Juliette was gonig to be careful, and was going to watch over the two very carefully. There was a good chance that one of them would be looking for something out of the ordinary. However, they would be foolish to think that Juliette would leave anything dark in her shop. Most of the stuff she owned was with Jakob.

"Can I help you two today?" she said, slightly sarcastic, but professional.

[Cutter Ryan]

'About time. I thought you weren't going to show and I would have to do this all by myself. Not that I wouldn't mind.' Cutter reigned in the impulse to laugh. He was sure that it would only serve to piss her off, not that he cared, but she needed to have a cool head for the mission.
'I know the drill. Lets just hope we pin something to this Bitch. I don't like her and I know she's rotten to the core.' Cutter rolled his emerald eyes at the young witch as she entered the shop. She might be capable of a simple investigation on her own, but Cutter felt that her emotions might make her do something foolish, perhaps downright dangerous. He didn't know what Dracinda may or may not be capable of, he browsed her file just long enough to keep his boss happy.

'Can I help you two today?' He detected a hint of sarcasm in her voice and that grated on him. He used to respect the woman a great deal and that came to a crashing end in his early days as an auror. It crushed him to be sent to investigate her all those years ago, he didn't want to believe that she was a death eater and yet he was dangerously close to finding the damning evidence required to send her to Azkaban. Cutter merely looked at Juliette lazily for a moment, then turned his attention to the bound texts lining the walls.

"Do you have Asiatic Anti-Venoms or The Dark Arts Outsmarted. Perhaps Magick Most Evile?" He asked nonchalantly as his eyes moved along the spines of the books on the shelves. "I would be interested in a copy of all three books."
Smooth move ex-lax.. that was discreet..
All I need is eye contact and I can attempt to search her memories for clues
And what makes you think she will allow you to make eye contact. Surly she must know that you are capable of legilimency
I don't expect to find anything here.. I want to find it in her mind. She must be hiding something incriminating somewhere
Cutter ran his fingers through his hair and scratched the back of his head, before he looked up at his old professor. His expression showed no emotion and barely held any interest in the woman.

"I have a personal interest in a patient at St Mungos, I want to help find a cure." His eyes didn't stray from his old professor. Cutter could only hope his 'shadow' wouldn't distract Juliette from his potential eye contact.

[Dracinda Malichi]

Dracinda searched each object her eyes landed on discreetly, as she kept her ears on the conversation being had. well the start of a probably conversation. Dusty books, Small books, Large books, the variety never ended yet she was sure she was gonna find something. After all the two popped out of the blue with no warning, or previous announcement that would give her time to hide things incriminating.

Her heeled boots clicked on the floor as she walked around blue eyes blazing as she kept distance from the two and made note to stay out of Juliette's line of sight. With on hand playing with the stand of pink hair the other resting on her belt buckle her investigation for a hint of darkness on any book continued.

Dracinda's ears were peeled for any sound of hesitation, or slight movement of the two behind her. Mainly Juliette. Tapping her fingers on her belt buckle she came across a book and tilted her head as she looked at it gently blowing away the dust that caked on its antique cover.

[Juliette Beaucoup]

They moved a coupld of isles down to the book shelf with the medical information about the specigic situation Cutter seemed to have encountered with. Although this wizard was here for other purposes, it was with honor that moved Juliette in helping this man. Anyone whom is willing to go to a Death Eater for assitance in order ot help a friend is someone whom is not only desperate, but a friend whom would do anything for their companion.

Juliette looked up into interest afer picking up an old book from the kindest of her heat, but was deeply disieved when she looked into his eyes. Legilimency from Cutter has betrayed Juliette's trust and act of kindness toward the Auror. A memory from Juliette's mind came about, and she was taken from reality...

Juliette was masked, and standing with a group of other Death Eaters on a warm summer evening. There was a fog in the air, which made it hard to see everyone, but not so difficult to notice where Juliette was standing. She held her wand, 3 1/2" long to be exact, pointed to the ground not wanting to waste one moment if things turned sour. The others. They could not be trusted like Lucius or Pius. Someone amoung them was a traitor, and The Dark Lord was going to come down and figure out just whom it was.

In the stars above, a black smoked stormed into the night. The circumference took the figure of a human and glided itself above, and around, the Death Eaters below. No one moved, until he whom must not be named landed in the center of the circle. The smoke faded as the fear rised in the hearts of everyone around them. Juliette looked to her right as Jakob stood there frozen in time. Could one of the traitors be from the Skulls and Bones Cla-

No! She mustn't think of that, and just as she stoped her thought, The Dark Lord looked at her, and spoke. "It seems that one of you has found the audacity to... alter their aliance to the ministry of magic." He looked away. "I am shocked and.. deeply disturbed that it is one of you whom I have honored to give the dark mark and to call... a deep conpanion..." Voldemrot took out his wand. Voldemort walked over to Juliette.

The memory was incomplete, for Juliette suddendly gained her mind back. She almost fell backwards, but managed to catch herself from falling. "Wha- what are you doing?" she asked innocently, but knew very well that what he saw might just be the piece he was looking for...




[Agent:1]

[Cutter Ryan]

Cutters mind seemed to completely burrow through the opening Juliette granted him, by looking into his eyes. He followed the images to find a circle of Death Eaters and he stood there watching intently, soaking in as many details as wizardly possible. The Dark Lord himself appeared and Cutter needlessly held his breath, until Juliette drew her attention towards a man he didn't recognize. A mental note to seek out the unknown man was added to his mental checklist, noting the physical description of his target. Cutter could hear her thoughts speak the unfamiliar term 'Skulls and Bones Cla' and his mind stored the information for later investigation.

'It seems that one of you has found the audacity to... alter their alliance to the ministry of magic. I am shocked and.. deeply disturbed that it is one of you whom I have honored to give the dark mark and to call... a deep companion...' Cutter heard the Dark Lord speak, as he watched the powerful wizard move towards the dueling professor. He watched with great confusion beginning to pound on the edges of his skull, severing the connection he had with her mind. The pain amplified as if he was close to discovering something and suddenly he was ripped out of Juliettes head, just in time to see her stumble backwards. The part of him that wanted to desperately hold onto his former respect for her, demanded that he try to stop her from falling. But his headache and his anger that she was hiding something, perhaps even the one responsible for the hole in his memory, commanded him to stay where he was.

'Wha- what are you doing?' Cutter raised a hand to hold his head where the pain was stabbing at him and he cringed in discomfort.
Who the hell does she think she's kidding?
Is is possible that she was a traitor to he-who-must-not-be-named? No that can't be right.. Ow my head..
You need to get out of here and look into that guy saw there. Find out what that Skulls thing is too
I'm too pissed to leave now

Cutter looked at Dracinda and closed his eyes for a moment. The pounding in his head and the realization that he just showed his 'shadow' a move that wasn't by the books, caused him to become very disappointed with himself. Using Legilimency was by all means a part of their code of conduct, but something about Juliette wrecked his concentration and exposed his efforts. Unacceptable. He had a sinking feeling he wouldn't hear the end of it from the young witch. Since the operation was ruined and it was only the three of them in the store, Cutter decided to go for broke and demand answers. After all, this was a little more personal than your average investigation, especially if she removed his memory or had any part in it being stolen.

"No games Professor. Who was the traitor? It can't be you, or you would be dead right now." He snarled at her, not willing to take any lies from her and he kept his wand ready to disarm her if she tried to do anything funny.

[Dracinda Malichi]

Dracinda continued to inspect a rather curious looking book that seemed to strike her as odd. Pulling out her wand the poked at it and levitated it into the air and used magic to reveal anything that was dark magic. Magic that may be hidden by more magic. She removed her concentration from the book and looked at Juliette and Cutter. The book fell to the table where it had been sitting and Dracinda came to glare at Juliette from beside Cutter her eyes narrowed.

"I say we screw questioning and just lock her up. Its obvious she has something incriminating. That book seems fishy. I'll take it in as evidence."

Her wand came to rest on Juliette. Gripped tightly in her hand as the tip training on the bookshop owner and dueling professor. She had never liked nor trusted the woman and apparently for good reason. She had wonder what Cutter had found out from her thoughts but to her they weren't important. Not till the woman was properly locked up.

[Juliette Beaucoup]

Juliette coldly spoke, but not with a soft mellow tone, but fierce.. yet quite. "As a previous Auror myself, you have no right to barge into my shop, and wander into my mind without any proove of whether or not I was disloyal to the Ministry of Magic! You come here, exspecting for some answers, but where is your evidence against me?! What motives do you posses that allows you to invade my mind unwillingly and as disisieve as He-Whom-Must-Not-Be-Named himself?! Surely you mere instinct is not judiciable in our courts of law. If that is the case, I shall go to Azkaban with Severus as well"

Juliette moved closer with rage. Amber of a veela burned into her eyes, and there was little control left that she could hold. Her instanities... They were beginning to get the best of her. but Juliette did not strike. She merely spoke in the same tone as if Cutter was still her teacher, and it was he that did something incorrect.

Arrest me, but it would be interesting to hear what Cornelius Fudge would say to the press on why The Auror Office are arresting a school teacher to which they have no evidence of betrayal for. You don't even know what this memory is about, comes from, or whether or not I was even concious during the time. Memories can be placed into one's mind as easily as it could be taken. You, out of all people, claim to know that."


[Agent:1]

[Cutter Ryan]

Cutter didn't know what possessed him to think she might give him some answers, he knew even less why he decided to snap at her and disregard protocol. He knew he was out of line, but entering her mind should have been an undetectable cakewalk. Why did her memory hurt his head so badly?

'I say we screw questioning and just lock her up. Its obvious she has something incriminating. That book seems fishy. I'll take it in as evidence.' Cutter cringed again. No, they can't do that. Any anti-theft spells would prevent them from removing the book without payment and would not accept their premise that it may be 'evidence' during an investigation. The investigation was taking a seriously wrong turn and spinning out of control.

'As a previous Auror myself, you have no right to barge into my shop, and wander into my mind without any proove of whether or not I was disloyal to the Ministry of Magic! You come here, exspecting for some answers, but where is your evidence against me?! What motives do you posses that allows you to invade my mind unwillingly and as disisieve as He-Whom-Must-Not-Be-Named himself?! Surely you mere instinct is not judiciable in our courts of law. If that is the case, I shall go to Azkaban with Severus as well' She was right, they had nothing on her. His hope to find the evidence he needed was crushed by his own stupidity and failure. Juliette's temper only served to escalate his own and the fact that his shadow had her wand aimed at the Veela, was only further damning their case.

Get out of here before you do something incredibly stupid..
She knows something! Why can she hide it from me?!
Calm down retard!
I AM calm!!
Cutter began to run his frustrated hand through his hair and hold his head again, in an attempt to silence the pain.
'Arrest me, but it would be interesting to hear what Cornelius Fudge would say to the press on why The Auror Office are arresting a school teacher to which they have no evidence of betrayal for. You don't even know what this memory is about, comes from, or whether or not I was even conscious during the time. Memories can be placed into one's mind as easily as it could be taken. You, out of all people, claim to know that.'

Hearing that, set him off. He was beyond angry now. As he suspected she had something to do with his missing memory, it was like pouring iodine all over a Sectumsempra victim, to even suggest he only 'claimed' the piece of his mind was stolen.
"HOW DARE YOU!" He began bellowing at her, just before the bell tolled on the door to indicate customers were entering the store. Cutter lowered his wand instantly and looked at the door to see a family with two school aged children with them, crossing the stores threshold. He quickly looked back at his 'shadow' with a glare that suggested he wanted out of there. He reached into his pocket, grabbed ten galleons out and slammed the money down on the counter. The last thing he needed was a possible anti-theft spell adding to the failed mission, suddenly having to explain to law enforcement why they were stealing a book.

"We're buying this book and we're leaving." He snarled. Cutter turned to walk out of the shop, not making any eye contact with the family who entered the store. He just kept walking and hoped that Dracinda was following him.
Well, that went well..
Piss off. That was a train wreck..
He finally stopped himself in the middle of the street, where people were walking around him to go on their way to wherever they were going. He finally turned around to see his 'shadow' there.

"What a mess.. What did you detect in that book?" He asked a little calmer than his previous attempts to speak, but clearly still agitated by the incident in the store.

[Dracinda Malichi]

Dracinda had her wand pointed at Juliette still. The mission had gone from bad to worse both were to blame for that but then again if the Ministry would just lock people up first time around instead of pardoning most, There wouldn't be problems like what they had just encountered. Not to mention it got flushed when the students and parent had entered. At that she had immediately lowered her wand made sure to carefully handle the book.

Upon walking into the street book in hand she huffed as she walked wand in her pocket and heels clicking with her fast pace of walking,

"God, I hate that woman. Never liked her and still don't."

She was inspecting the book as they walked stepping around people that were bustling around the alley. There was something about it that grabbed her attention and kept hold of it. Nothing revealed with the spell but she was quite sure there was something dark and hidden about it. She had a gut feeling.

"Not exactly sure yet but there's something off with it. I can feel it. I couldn't really do much with it in the shop either. Most of my attention was on you and that bitch. I'll know more when I can sit and poke at it for awhile. If there's dark magic about it, I'll find it... So tell me what exactly did you find in that woman's head? Please tell me its something we can pin to her like a muggle game of pin the tail on the donkey."

Her beanie began falling down in her eyes and she pushed it back up, her glasses now once again covering her blue eyes, shielding them from the sunlight. If anything they may get some circumstantial evidence to nail her with, which is all Dracinda could hope for with how things had turned out. Because she had a feeling anything dark, Juliette would dispose of or hide so she would seem like a bloody patron saint.

[Cutter Ryan]

'God, I hate that woman. Never liked her and still don't.' Cutter managed to hear Dracinda say, before he turned around.

He looked at the book she was examining as she spoke to him. How good was her gut feeling? Cutter suddenly wished he had spent a little more time reading her staff file and made a mental note to take a better look at it, once they got back to the office. It was a shame Dracinda couldn't examine the book better inside the shop, before he shelled out ten galleons for it. Cutter blamed himself for that with his Legilimency failure, but he figured he would try to pass that off as a job expense to get his money back. If not, then Dracinda just got an early Christmas gift from him.

'..So tell me what exactly did you find in that woman's head? Please tell me its something we can pin to her like a muggle game of pin the tail on the donkey.' Cutter finally looked up at his partner and frowned.
"Only leads to look into. A man I didn't recognize and I assume a group called Skulls and Bones. I'll have to hunt the man down and find out who he is, he may have a connection to such a group." He rolled his eyes exasperated. "As if we don't have enough problems with He-who-must-not-be-named, do we really need another faction to be hunting down?" He shook his head and turned to continue walking towards The Leaky Cauldron.

Where will you even begin to look for him? Without questioning Juliette again? It'll be like finding a Glumbumble in a rain-forest..
Thanks for the vote of confidence.. Maybe I should check out Knockturn Alley, see if anyone knows him?
Cutter ran his fingers through his hair and scratched the back of his head.
