Claudia floated Tyler up to the room she'd rented in the Three Broomsticks. Positioning him over the bed, she released him from the levitation spell and watched him drop lightly onto the creaky mattress. She made a face. She'd specifically asked for a mattress that wouldn't make noise. She'd have to have a talk with the management later.
For now, however, she walked over to the bed and bent over her "patient." Slapping his face lightly, she said, "Wake up!"

Tyler's eyes immediately opened. He looked around, confused and still a bit dazed from the fight. He had no idea where he was or who in the world was standing in front of him, trying to wake him. He could feel the soft cushioning underneath him and automatically deduced that he was lying on a bed. He blinked a few times. He had a major headache, his chest wasn't bleeding much anymore but it still hurt immensely, and he felt exhausted all over. "Wh...where am I?" He asked, slowly, still trying to take in his surroundings.

"You're in a room at the Three Broomsticks," Claudia said. She made her soft, breathy voice sound extra sweet. "Are you hurt badly? That wound in your chest was bleeding pretty badly. I have a few remedies here, if you need help." She gave him a sugary smile and sat down on the edge of the bed, causing it to creak again.

Tyler ignored her, not sure if he could trust her just yet or not. She seemed vaguely familiar, but being so dazed he couldn't place where he knew her from. "Who...are you?" He asked, breathing a little bit faster as the pain in his chest began to come back to him.

Claudia hestitated. If she gave her name, he was likely to remember her. But if she lied and he remembered later, then any hope of getting information from him would be lost. She smiled benignly. "My name is Claudia," she replied. She stood up. "Perhaps you could use a glass of water? Look, I just want to help. Why else would I have taken you out of that alleyway?"

Tyler was slowly becoming more aware of himself and was getting his mind back. He decided to just keep a straight face. At this point, he couldn't trust anyone. So in reply, he just shrugged. "I- I could use some water." He said. "How'd you...find me- in the alleyway, I mean?" He asked, curiously.

She filled a glass with water from the washroom and brought it to him. "I was walking by and I heard all the noise. The two of you were crashing and banging and yelling. You were lucky it was just me walking by. Vampires frequent that alleyway, you know. So why were you and the blonde guy fighting? Arguing over a woman?" she asked with a slight smirk. The truth was, she was pretty sure she knew exactly why they were fighting...

Tyler shrugged and chuckled a bit, "I wish. No, it was just over some issues the two of us had." He replied, not wanting to get into full detail with the woman. He didn't want to give away any information that he would regret. And these days, with him being so secretive and such a rebel, that meant almost any information made the mark. He took the glass of water and took a sip, getting some fluids through his dry throat. He coughed a bit as he drank. "So...where do you work? What're you into?" He asked, directing the subject away from himself.

Claudia laughed. "I don't work. I used to have a very rich husband... now I have his money." She gave a wry smile. "But I do have some very influential connections in the Ministry." She sat down in a chair across from the bed and regarded him curiously. "What do you do?"

"I'm in.." Tyler paused for a split-second coming up with something to say, "The defense department." He replied, nodding- which was half true. "I wander around a lot looking for anything that I can help with. Look, um...maybe I should go. I don't want to be in your way..." He suggested, standing up.

"Oh, you're not in my way," Claudia said, smiling sweetly. "In fact, I really was hoping you'd stay a bit longer." Abruptly, she pointed her wand at him. "Incarcerous!" she said, and magical ropes flew out of her wand at him. "I'm afraid I can't let you leave just yet."

"What-?" Tyler was caught by surprise as the ropes tied his arms and legs together. He fell back down onto the bed and scrambled around, trying to untie himself. "What are you doing? What do you want?" He asked, scorning himself for being tricked so easily. He now knew that no matter what she said, he couldn't trust this woman.

Claudia's eyes flared. "You know, I'm hoping you just hit your head really hard or something, otherwise I'm going to be insulted that you don't remember me. You know, back in the days when you were in the service of the Dark Lord? Yeah, I was, too. Tyler Jackson, right? Well, I know full well why Charles was fighting you. It's just a pity that he was too much of a drunk to actually kill you. But don't worry... I'm not going to kill you. I just want to get a little information out of you..."
((Hey, here's an idea... what if she puts you under the Imperius Curse for a while to force you to sabotage the Order somehow?))

((Okay, that's cool. I want both the Order and the Death Eaters to hate him as much as possible so it makes for more drama. And then maybe if somehow the Order found out that he was sabotaging them, so he would have like a trial or something.)) Tyler looked curiously at Claudia, as his memory started to come back to him. He suddenly remembered seeing her at the meetings and at all of their raids. However, he wasn't surprised that he hadn't remembered her at first. They had never talked much. Tyler gulped and stared at Claudia, "You want information? Go to a library! I'm not giving you anything..." He called at her. He tried to reach into his pocket for his wand but the ropes were tied too tightly. He winced a bit as the ropes dug into his wrists.

"Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that," she said, smiling wickedly. "I've been known to make men sing like canaries. My primary duty for the Dark Lord is as an interrogator. I always get the answers I need..." She walked closer to him and squatted down so she was just eye-to-eye with him. Twirling her wand around thoughtfully, she looked at him for a long moment, gazing deep into his eyes. "You know, it's a shame you're a dirty traitor. You're kinda cute." She pointed her wand at him. "Crucio!"

Tyler doubled over in pain and grunted as the feeling of the Cruciatus curse hit him, but definitely not for the first time in his life. He had been hit many times by the curse and each time had enabled him to endure it even better. But in the end, it was still the Cruciatus curse. He would never be able to fully ride it out without experiencing its brutal pain. "I'm...n-not.....t-talking." He stuttered, still shaking from the torture.

"Oh, tough guy, huh?" Claudia said, laughing coldly. "I like it. But you will talk, somehow. Maybe I'll just torture you a little more... Crucio!" she yelled again, pointing her wand at him again.

Tyler cried out in pain as the curse hit him again. He writhed around with his eyes closed, trying to shake it off. But in the end, it was too much for him to handle. He had to give it up or he'd go out cold and there was no telling what Claudia would do to him then. He continued to try and ride it out as long as he could, but his head was getting light and his mind was clouded. "Okay!" He called out, not knowing where Claudia was or which direction he was looking in at that point.

Claudia released the curse and knelt down in front of him. "Look at me," she said. When he didn't react, she slapped him hard across the face. Then she put one hand on each side of his face, forcing him to face her. "Good," she said. "Now tell me, who is in the Order of the Phoenix?"

Tyler winced a bit as she slapped him. He glared at her, "I don't know all of them." He replied sharply, clenching his jaw. "The two married ones...Voltaire and Isabella, I think it is. They're in it. And then there's this guy named Vincent, and Alastor, and some young girl named Lucie. And then a whole lot of other people...I wouldn't know that many- I've only been there for a few weeks." He finished, shaking his head out of her grasp.
