"Well, I didn't plan on letting him go, now did I?" Charles snapped. "Really, you saw him first, why didn't you go after him? Since you're so much better than me." He scowled and looked around the bar, hoping for someone he could go over and talk to in order to get away from Nathan. He spotted the blonde Death Eater--Claudia--walking into the bar from the stairway. Behind her, to his surprise, was Tyler, who looked bruised, battered, and somewhat dazed, but otherwise perfectly fine. "Well, don't look now, but there he is," Charles drawled, pointing to them.

Claudia strolled through the bar, looking completely casual, despite the fact that Tyler was trailing after her like a lost puppy. She smiled at the thought. As she glanced around, she caught a few familiar faces--her fellow Death Eaters, Charles and... she couldn't remember the other one's name. She quickly looked away. She wasn't in the modd to deal with them right now.

"Well, what a coincidence." Nathan replied, looking over to the stairway where, sure enough, were Tyler and the Death Eater who he slightly remembered to be Claudia strolling along. He quickly got out of his chair and walked over to the two. "Its Claudia, right?" He asked the woman carefully, still staring at Tyler who looked very dazed and almost confused. "What the hell are you doing with this guy?" He whispered to her so that Tyler couldn't hear. "You know who he is, right?"

Claudia rolled her eyes at him. "Of course I know who he is; I'm not an idiot," she hissed. "Look, we can't talk in here, someone will hear us. Come outside. I suppose you could bring Charles, too."

Nathan sighed and followed her orders, nodding at Charles to follow him outside as he opened the door. He walked out behind Claudia and Tyler, keeping a close eye on Jackson and wondering why he seemed so calm and dazed. He figured she had drugged him up or something.

Tyler followed Claudia out of the pub just like he was silently ordered to do and barely even took any notice of Nathan watching him as he went. However, he had been watching Charles rather intently the entire time, realizing that it had been he who had caused so much damage to Tyler earlier. But, without any order or instructions from Claudia, who he now considered his master, he wasn't about to get revenge on Charles in any way.

Charles followed behind Claudia and the others, grumbling slightly to himself. He really would have preferred to be left alone to drink in peace. He didn't quite like the look Tyler was giving him; it was as if he wanted to attack, but something was holding him back. "What's this all about then?" he asked.

Claudia rolled her eyes at Charles as she led them into a dark alleyway. Quickly casting a muffliato spell, she turned to face him and Nathan, while Tyler came to stand next to her. "I happened upon your rather pathetic duel with Jackson here," she explained, looking at Charles. "When you passed out foor no apparent reason, I came over and took him out of the alleyway to gain his trust and see what information I could get out of him. Now I have him under the Imperius Curse. He will do whatever I say, whenever I say it, until the spell is released. Since he betrayed us and joined the Order of the Phoenix, I'm going to have him spy on the Order for me and bring back as much information as possible." She crossed her arms and gave a self-satisfied smile.

Nathan was slightly impressed that she had already managed all of this and had subdued Tyler so easily, but he didn't show it. "Good...since you did all the dirty work, I suppose I can take him from here on." He said, taking action and grabbing Tyler's arm. "Don't worry though, I'll reccommend you when I give Voldemort all the information Tyler's collected." He smirked at her. Unfortunately, he didn't know Claudia very well and figured that he could easily walk all over her.

"Um, excuse me?" Claudia spat. "No, I don't think so. He's my little puppet now. I suppose I can cut you in on my plan, but he's under my control now, and I don't plan on sharing." She pulled out her wand. "Release him now... You do not want to make me angry!"

Nathan looked at Claudia, his expression showing that he was clearly annoyed. He slowly let go of Tyler's arm and looked at Charles briefly. "Alright, then. You let me in on your entire plan and you give me half the credit. Otherwise, I'll kill you now and take full credit for the whole project." He responded as he pulled out his wand and pointed it at Claudia's chest.

"You'll kill me?" Claudia repeated, smiling coldly. "Oh, I wouldn't be too sure about that. Just because I'm woman doesn't make me a pushover." She thought for a moment, twirling a lock of her hair around her finger. "Very well then," she said. "I'll let you in on my plan and give you both some credit... but let's make this perfectly clear. It's my plan, and you'll do as I say. Got it?" she said, gritting her teeth at the end.

Nathan looked her in the eye for a few moments, before carefully lowering his wand and putting it back in his pocket, scowling at her. "Very well, then. However, I suggest that we move our little tea party to perhaps a quieter and more secluded place." He suggested, eyeing the odd looking people walking past them and giving them curious looks.

Claudia hesitated for a minute, then put her wand away. "Good," she said. "Where should we go, then? Headquarters?" She frowned distastefully, thinking of Greyback and his werewolf pack, who had taken to hanging out at the headquarters. "Or is there a better place?"

"We could go down to my shop- its not too far from here." Nathan replied, not sure of any other place that would be too safe to talk about evil matters. "Is there anyone else you plan on inviting? Or were you completely in this alone before we showed up?" He asked.

Claudia nodded. "Fine. Your shop will do fine," she said. She wasn't crazy about agreeing to discuss this on his turf, but she honestly felt that the headquarters was no longer safe, with the wolf-people sniffing about. Her only other options at this point were to go back up to the rented room in the Three Broomsticks, which would look extremely suspicious, and go to her house, which was much too far away to reach conveniently. She couldn't have all of them Apparate sidelong with her. "There's no one else coming. I was on my own with this." She turned to Charles. "So good to see you've crawled out of the bottle for five minutes. Do you think you can spare five more to come and talk with us?"

Charles frowned at her. "Hey, don't get shirty with me!" he yelled. "Yeah, you better believe I'm coming. You may have come up with the plan, but I found him for you. I fought with him and weakened him. I was winning, too. I bloody well would have killed him if I hadn't been hit with a stray spell. So don't act like I don't do anything, you hear?"

Claudia rolled her eyes. "Whatever," she grumbled. She turned back to Nathan. "So, let's get to your shop. Go ahead and lead the way."
((You can start a new thread at the shop.))
