Tyler apparated back to the Three Broomsticks and walked up the stairs towards Claudia's apartment. He had completed his orders thus far and was awaiting an explanation of Claudia's new plans. And plus, he had some information on a certain order member that might interest Claudia somewhat. He knocked on the door to the apartment, hoping that she was inside at the time.

Claudia had been pacing her room, trying to figure out what her next move should be and hoping that Tyler would check in soon. When she heard the knock on the door, she paused in mid-pace and pointed her wand at the door, causing it to fly open. "Oh, good, it's you," she said, smiling wickedly. "Come in and tell me what you've learned."

Tyler walked into the room, silently. Once Claudia had closed the door behind him, he looked into her eyes and began, "After the fake attack, I got together with Emily Alchemia. She seemed to be too polite to not want to get to know me better. So we talked for a little while about how I cannot seem to find any trust or friendship in the Order. She told me that she used to be on our side, as well. And now, the Order has forgiven her and trusts her as if nothing had ever happened. She also has a boyfriend, Vincent, who, apparently, was injured somehow and is now in a wheelchair and fairly weak. But she said that she used to be in the army along with her great aunt, until she turned to Voldemort and killed her aunt off. I think she trusts me for the most part, and thinks I'm fairly innocent now." He finished, grinning slightly, feeling a bit proud at how easy it had been to get information out of the girl and get her to trust him. "Is any of that information any use to you?" He asked.

"Hmmmm... a little bit, yes. I knew that her boyfriend is Vincent Corrigan and he was in a wheelchair. I saw him at the trial for the Hogwarts girl. I did not know he was in the Order. So, he is incapacitated, and my dear cousin Izzy is big as a house... and the Alchemia girl could possibly be used to take the blame for an attack, if she used to be on our side. Hmmm..." She smiled and rubbed her hands together. "Yes, the attack must be soon, while their forces are weak." She laughed. "Can you find Nathan and Charles for me? You can probably find Charles where ever there is alcohol, and Nathan should be in his shop."

Tyler nodded, proud to have given Claudia useful information. "Of course." He apparated on the spot and began his search for his two colleagues.

((I guess we can continue this here...))
Nathan appeared at the Three Broomsticks with a loud Crack! He looked around, being careful not to draw too much attention to himself, and then walked up the stairs to the apartments. He quickly searched for Claudia's apartment. Once he had found the one marked with her name, he knocked on the door. He didn't plan on waiting for Tyler or Charles.

Claudia had just come back from her meeting with the Dark Lord, and she was looking noticeably flushed. She was still shocked and a bit insulted about what he had asked her to do for him, but she knew she had to shake it off. She had known from the start that sometimes she would have to do ugly, underhanded things. She had just finished fixing her hair when she heard a knock on the door. Walking over to it, she opened at. "Ah, Nathan," she greeted him coldly. "Come in. I trust that Charles and Tyler are right behind you?"

Charles Apparated in with a pop. He was standing right in the middle of the Three Broomsticks, with the smell of alcohol all around him. He desperately wanted to stop for a drink, but he knew he couldn't. Somehow he was going to have to find the strength to quit. He took a deep breath and held it while he walked up the stairs toward Claudia's room. When he got there, he saw Nathan was still standing in the hallway, and Claudia was asking whether he was right behind. "Yes, as a matter of fact I am," he replied mildly. "So what's this oh-so-important news?"

Tyler appeared behind Charles a few moments later and walked into the apartment silently. He just looked around with the blank stare that was brought on by the imperius curse, awaiting further instructions.

Nathan entered the apartment and stood near the doorway, folding his arms. "Yeah, what's this all about?" He asked, slightly annoyed that she had taken him away from his store during the daytime.

Claudia pointed her wand at the door, closing it behind Tyler and locking it. "We're attacking tomorrow night," she said. "Tyler will lead us to the headquarters, and we're going to attack. Their forces are weak right now. Vincent Corrigan is in a wheelchair, and Isabella Rothschild is 8 1/2 months pregnant. Several of the Order members are former Death Eaters, particularly Isabella and her husband Voltaire, as well as Emily Alchemia. I'm going to set up a paper trail to make it look like she betrayed the Order and not Tyler. This way if we don't do as much damage as we hope, we'll still be able to get back at one of the traitors." She looked out at them all triumphantly as she added, "And you should all know that the Dark Lord is aware of this plan and has given me permission to do it. So let's make this good, are we clear?"

"Crystal," mumbled Charles, rolling his eyes at her. He hated her superior attitude. "So I take it our orders are to kill everyone we can?" he asked, trying to sound bored by the idea. The truth was, he was worried. The mention of Isabella's "delicate" condition struck a nerve with him. Of course he had known she was in the Order, but the idea of attacking--and killing--while she was there was hard for him to accept. But he didn't want Claudia to know that he was having second thoughts.

"Well, of course we're supposed to kill," Claudia snapped impatiently. "What did you want to do, give them all boils?" She smiled coldly. "If we can take out the opposition, the Dark Lord can take over unchecked. Of course... Dumbledore will be there... so we will have to be careful..."

Nathan suddenly remembered the other day when Crystal told him she had joined the Order. He quickly interrupted Claudia, "Wait a second... I thought we were just giving our information to Voldemort. We never agreed that we were going to make an attack." He said, frantically looking from Claudia to Charles.

Claudia stared at him. "What, did you have a brain tumor for breakfast? Of course we are going to have an attack. I'm sure I was quite clear on that; otherwise, why would I need or even want you morons involved at all? I had the information thing already worked out, and I certainly wouldn't need your help with that. But I can't mount an attack alone, that's where you come in. Or... are you backing out? Not scared of Dumbledore, are you?"

"I remember her mentioning the attack," Charles commented helpfully. He had to admit, he rather enjoyed watching Nathan, who had always acted so superior, suddenly acting so nervous and uncomfortable.

"Oh, shut up, Charles," Claudia sneered, rolling her eyes at him. "So is everyone clear on this? We attack tomorrow. We'll wait until the meeting has started, and then we'll attack. Got it?"

Nathan ignored Charles's rude comment and thought for a moment about the situation at hand. "Fine. We'll attack tomorrow." He nodded. He figured that his only chance was to somehow convince Crystal not to go to the meeting or tell her the truth about what was about to happen. "So if that's all said and done now, can I get back to my store?" He asked, wanting to inform Crystal about what was about to happen as soon as he could.

Claudia shrugged. "Yeah, sure. Whatever. But meet me back here tomorrow at noon, OK? The meeting starts at 1:00, and I want to be able to go over som strategies with you all before we do this. OK?"

"Alright, whatever." Nathan replied, quickly. "I'll see you three then." He said, before apparating on the spot, back to his shop.
