Calmer Time

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape was at his home seated in a commutable chair, in front of the fire place where a fire was going. The nights had slowly gotten colder with the approach of winter & many could be found getting ready for the winter to come. Snape was reading over a book, that he though might hold some information of interested, there was a glass of fire whiskey on the table with a bottle, of course he had early touched it since his mind was more focused on reading & looking for what might interested him then a stiff drink.

It would appear that things had settled between him self & Jamie, all he had to do was not steep on her toes & things would be fine. Though he at times questioned her ideas or ways tell, he could be lifted from the potion that would still take time there was little to do but, fallow her orders.

Jamie walked down Knockturn Alley, heading towards a safe place at the end of the alley to call a Death Eater meeting. She had quit her little undercover job as an auror. The Death Eaters were strong enough now that she could do that and invade the ministry when she felt like it. Her heels clicked loudly on the brick beneath her feet. No one else was out and about. Jamie smirked. The Death Eaters image had become intimidating again, Diagon Alley had been deserted as well.

Jamie turned a corner and heard 10 loud snaps, all in order. She turned around, her wand out and her eyes narrowed at the sight she saw. Several of her former coworkers were standing around her, their wands also out. Their purpose was obvious. How they had found out was beyond her. Someone had obviously squealed on her. Jamie's eyes narrowed even more. "Snape," Jamie hissed, twitching her wand and sending a patronous to him. This would be his ultimate test.

Jets of light and loud cracks emanated from the alley, but no one was there to see or hear them besides the people they were coming from...

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape had just turned a page when Jamie’s patronous appeared, he got her message as odd as he felt of her sending for him was there then perhaps she did it for she knew has still bound to do her bedding. He was quick to set down the book, a marker keeping his place before he moved to grab his wand & changing his robes to council his face more so it was easy for him to see but, not others. He disappearing & appearing close to Jamie, only to find it a heated area with spells. By instanced then by order he sent spells back, many of his own & wordless to insure that very quickly there was less numbers against them then to start with when he showed up.

[Jamie Smith]

Jamie quickly killed two of the aurors surrounding them, then began to duel a third one. "Kill them all, no mercy," she said quietly to Snape as she began to duel another of the aurors. The girl fell to the floor,screaming, shortly after the duel had began. Her screams died abruptly as a green light enshrouded her body a moment later. Jamie glanced over at Snape, her eyebrow raised....

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape heard Jamie’s words, though he had grown tired of the killing he did as she asked not that he could have done other wise, because of the potion. Though there where a few that had already fallen & when not dead but, it was clear they where knocked out & would appear dead in the end. Though Snape had not said a word about if for right now there where others to duel, so Snape keep dueling, avoiding spells as he cast his own, though he knew enough spells that killed just as well as a killing curse even if he did not want to admit it. He stuck to the killing curse, why he could only watch as the duelers slowly fell.

[Jamie Smith]

Jamie killed four more aurors, stepping over the dead bodies without a care to go on to a new duel with a different auror each time. "Snape, take care of that one over there," she said, jerking her head towards an auror that was attempting to crawl away.

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape heard Jamie's words he eyes feel on the auror before, he carried out the order to kill them. As it went on, there where fewer & fewer aurors to deal with. Thoug it did not, stop Snape from fighting on. His mind was already thinking, that the Minisry & that the D.E. did this.

[Jamie Smith]

Jamie caught the last auror and bound him. "I've changed my mind. This one's coming with us. "Come, Snape," she said, before diapperating, taking the auror with her.

"Who gave you the information?" Jamie growled, pointing her wand at the young man again and casting the Cruciatus curse. The young man screamed and began to plead. "I don't know, I'm only an apprentice, I swear I don't know!!!" he cried, and Jamie increased the spell. "You idiot, I was an auror, I am not ignorant to the fact that you have just gone through the Unforgiveable Spells phase of your training. Now spit it out and I may just send your body back to your family," she said coldly, starting the spell again. The young man's screams filled her ears and it drove her on. "Snape, brew me something nasty, something that will sting," Jamie ordered, not taking her eyes from the apprenticed auror...

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape heard Jamie’s words when the dueling came to an end, he fallowed where she lead. Though even with the mans words for mercy he said nothing, he showed not sign that it even fazed him though with Jamie’s words to him he simply did as told disappeared & returning shortly with a potion she wanted. Though it would not kill the man, it might be a better thing if he did so.

Though there where better ways to get information’s form one then doing it as Jamie was but, Snape did not dare subjected the ideas he figured Jamie would figure it out on her own or ask him for his thoughts, she had already told him once to not speak out of place & with the way she had him ranked he simply did as ordered.

[Jamie Smith]

Jamie smirked as the young man trembled at her feet. "I'll give you one last chance to speak before I start something new. Where did you get the information?" she asked. The young man looked away, silent. Jamie grabbed his lower jaw and forced his mouth open with a flick of her wand. The man's eyes widened as he fought against his bindings as Jamie uncorked the potion and began to make him drink it, murmuring something while running her wand down his neck so that he was forced to drink it. A few moments later his screams began again, more terrible then before. Jamie looked on with a smirk as the man writhed on the floor in agony, screaming so hard that his voice soon gave out.

Jamie soon glanced over at Snape. "Crucio," she spat at the man already screaming in front of her. "I'LL TELL YOU, I'LL TELL YOU-PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!" Jamie bent down to the auror's level. "Who told you?" she hissed, and the man began to sob hysterically. "It- it came in a-a-an anonymousletter-PLEASE!" The last part was rushed and hurried, the agony forcing him to spit it out. "Avada Kedavra," Jamie spat carelessly, and the screams soon stopped.

"Dispose of the body," Jamie told Snape coldly...

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape merely watched he was at, as Jamie continued with the want for info to know, who had in the end turned her in though even in the end she did not get the answer she wanted for the man did not know & there for could not tell. Though Snape did not miss Jamie’s words to him to get raid of the body, his eyes narrowed a bit because of them, though he did as she asked how ever he did not have to touch the body to do so & there where spells that would remove it & destroy it so that none would ever find any trace of it. When it was done he looked at Jamie before he spoke simply “It is done” The he said no more, there was no point & it was not like him to do so ether.

[Jamie Smith]

Jamie stared at a wall while Snape got rid of the body, her hands clasped behind her back. "We need to find out who sent that letter, Snape. Unless, of course, you have a hunch?" she asked, turning to look at him, studying his reaction closely.

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape heard Jamie’s words though he did not like her last one’s how ever he keep his expression blank at the idea she was accusing him of doing it. After all it was not his style any way so it mattered little to him, for he had no part in it. Though with her last words he spoke simple, even when he knew that it might cost him a beating “My only hunch is that it was some one, that is not… found of you” He let the words hang a moment, for there where ways that it likely could be done as she asked, though he waited to see if he was hit or that before he spoke again “How ever… there are ways to find… the one you want or at least… those that… know who it is”

[Jamie Smith]

Jamie glanced at Snape, her gaze sharp. "Then that is your job, Snape. Find the one who did this and bring them to me. I want them alive, Snape..." Jamie stated coldly. She finally turned to face him. "I suggest you start now if you know so much about the ways of doing this," she said, before turning to leave hte dungeon of her mansion...

[Professor Severus Snape]

Snape heard Jamie’s words though he had been hopping she would give it to someone else or would go looking for them her self but, that was not Jamie ether. He would find the one Jamie wanted, at least he had ways of starting & with them it was only time tell he had the answer but, he would have it. More so, that he could not fail, for he would not be seen any lower then he already was. He disappeared, ready to start his mission & it was easy to start for he used a spell on some Ministry workers to get him some information & he also was not short of scanning there mind, to see if something could be found there. Only when he had what he needed form the Ministry workers, did he head home ready to start on learning more on who the person Jamie was after. How ever he left the Ministry workers under his control, so they could help him with answers or getting the answer he needed.
