She leaned in and said in a low voice, "You know the Death Eater ring? How?"

" I am an Auror, I've been working undercover. " It was hard to lie to the girl...in a way he was part way responsible for her pain, for her mother's death...it burned a whole in his heart. Was the Dark Lord on the right track? was it a good idea to kill the people that mistreated him so? This girl had never done anything to him, she was as magic as he was. probably more since he was sure she could do charms. was what he was doing right? "How can i help you. I want to help you" he said with conviction.

"OK, I have another suspect," Sabrina said. "See, my cousin Elle was kidnapped the other day by Death Eaters. She's back now, but she's all loopy, and it looks like her memory's been modified. Her sister thinks it was done by Elle's godmother, Laitia Kirak. Do you know anything about her?"

Voltaire stiffened, Laitia? it was Laitia? "She is a character, I've heard tell of her trying to get into contact with the dark lord, I think maybe she's been accepted into the fold, but i think that obduction was entirely her doing, the dark lord is amassing an army, that kind of activity would stop recutes" he said warily.

She looked at him carefully. Clearly he was hiding something from her. She felt fairly certain now that Laitia was the killer now. "I think you know a little more than you're telling me," she said, "but it's OK. I think I have my answer. I just have to figure out how to prove it. Then, when she's least expecting it, I'm going to find her and kill her."

"Please, there's no way you could stand a chance against Laitia, I'll tell you this now, you have no fighting training or expericance, what spells do you know? protection spells? how about charmed clothing or armour? Do you know about the kind of pysical training you'll have to do to be able not only to dodge but to attack your oppontent? I can help you with that." he said in his serious, even business like tone, he doubted very much if his cousins had ever seen this side of his demenor. but he wanted to know what she could do and if it wasn't as much as even he thought, he'd have to help her.

"Really? You'd help me?" Sabrina said, brightening. "I admit I don't know as much as I need, but I've been reading up on some dark magic. I had a book on Legilimency that was confiscated, but I have another book with lots of dark spells and hexes. And I'm in the dueling club, but we haven't really done much yet."

"Legilimency? You're kidding right? That's hardly useful in battle! Only the most powerful wizards can use that and continue to fight! And if you do spend the ten plus years learning it, you have to learn to Occuled your mind against attack as well!"He sighed and put a hand on his face, he starightened up and pushed his drink aside,then pushing his hair out of his face he said " You must think of this practically. Learning many hexes and spells is pointless, UNLESS you do it right. Pick out spells in sections. everything Offensive write it down and seperate it, self protection in another and defensive spells. that's basic. then bring them back here and then you have to work out how you can use the three in an attack. 3 is a basic number. with years you can build attacks higher." he said in a business like tone.

"I wasn't going to use legilimency to fight, just to read her mind and prove that she killed my mom. I read about Sectumsempra, and I learned the Disarming spell and the Shield Charm. I could use those in a fight. I... I know about the Killing Curse, but I don't think I have the power to use it yet." She sighed. "You think I'm just kidding myself, don't you? That I'll never be able to face her and that I should leave it to the professionals. And maybe I should, but... I need to avenge my mother. It's eating away at me, knowing her killer is out there walking around."

"Again, Ten plus years to learn it, and using Legilimency proves it to no one but yourself. You could always just say, but it's your word against theirs, and with one dead. well that leaves you, but people don't trust murderers. The Spells you know are basics, Never forget them. You need to really read thoes books, not just read them but learn and understand what the spells do to a person. The Killing Curse although very powerful, is very quick. Almost a mercy if you think about it. Do as I tell you, Know the difference between the spells then learn to use them in combinations. at first you'll be easy to read, you don't know much, but with enough work you could pull a trick out of your hat." Voltaire said while picking her face up, so she'd sit up straighter. "you have to have that fire in you." he said, while some of his colour came back.

"I do, I swear," she said fiercely. "I'll keep reading and learning, and I'll be ready for her. I have to be. Can I meet you again so I can show you what I've learned?"

"Meet me at the black lake in a week's time. There I will duel you and see what you've learned. Talk with Isa..Your defense against the dark arts professor. She is a good woman, even though she doesn't act it. Don't tell her about me or the plans you have, ask her only to help you do better in dueling club." he said

"OK," she said. "I'll do that. See you then. Thank you so much!" She stood up and gave him a quick hug before she rushed out of the Three Broomsticks.

Voltaire smiled as the girl left, but it left him with a deep worry. He was for the first time really seriously filled with self doubt about his lord. dismissing the feeling he smiled at Rori and Anna "I bet you two didn't know i had it in me huh?" he said with a smile.

Rori laughed. "Yeah, I knew you did, but didn't know when it would come out." said Rori still laughing.

"So...what should i do in regards to Isabelle?should i give her another chance?...There's no way i'm going to her!" he said crossing his arms over his chest like a two year old. "Tell her i expect flowers, hugs and a box of chocolates, not all in that order!" he said with a look of mock seriousness."I'm kidding, i know she'd rather hex the flowers before picking them" he said smiling.

"Guys are strange. I personally think you should show up in her office with flowers." said Rori thinking. "But if that's the way you want it. I'll tell her to meet you by the lake. Say um, tomorrow night?"

"Yeah well, it's supposed to be the guy that brings flowers, but don't worry about it. I'll tell her to meet you by the lake tomorrow night." she replied.

"Ok fine! I have to go and wash up. I look like death warmed over." he said rubbing his face again. "thank you for distracting me, and talking with Isa...Everything...I'm glad your nothing like aunt." he said standing he ruffled both their heads and turned to go across the pub and up to the stairs where his room was.
