Shade smoothed his hand over the static red paint of the Hogwart's Express.

"Hogwarts would so benefit from my touch," He murmured to himself.

"Excuse me," came a guard nearby, "What are you doing here."

Shade produced a small bag of galleons and threw it at the guards feet. "Open up the train."

OOC: Anyone welcome.

Flame had heard the guards voice raise outside the train and appeared in the doorway. When she got their she saw a man and smiled. Her black hair clashed against her pale skin in an amazing way and though signs of the torture she had enjoyed showed her grey eyes shone brightly.

"Erm... Hi... I'm Flame, and you are?" her voice was quiet, not that of the bully that everyone knew, yet behind it the killer and torturer she really was still lurked- waiting to break out again.

She waited a few minutes before speaking again. "So what you doing here? It don't look like you should be here... Then again it makes a change for someone whose not meant to be here to be here. Why don't you come on?" she asked in that same quiet voice.

Shade looked at flame and smiled, thinking of her in many sexual ways.

"Shade Veckelo."

He stared at her breasts.

Flame nodded. "Well, Shade, you coming on or not?" she asked, earning herself an odd look from the guard yet ignoring it. She didn't wait for an answer, merely turned her back and walked back onto the train- sitting in the compartment whence she had came, alone. Had she known of Shade's thoughts she would have found somebody- not caring who it was- to sit with.

However, with no clue of these she was contempt to sit alone and, if he wished, he could join her. She stared out of the indow- bored. Her evil deeds had done her no favours in her time and yet, deep down, her old ways wished to come back. They just hadn't managed it yet.

Sitting there, she wandered whether or not Shade would join her.

Shade joined her and took off his gloves and hat.

Once he joined her Flame didn't really know what to say, but decided it would be more polite to speak than remain silent. "So... What business you got at Hogwarts? I mean... Your not just here randomly- right?" she was trying to make conversation though felt it was going to be a rather unsucessful topic starter.

"i plan on becoming a new school governor"

He looked at her and smiled.

She shrugged. "That's cool I guess. We don't tend to have much to do with govenors at school though." she tols him.

"Maybe I should change that."

He placed his hand on her leg.

She frowned at him. "And how do you plan on doing that, may I ask?" she was wary- why the hell was his hand on her leg? She didn't say anything, nor move, just made a mental note to be careful.

"You seem concealed. You have the material to work for me."

"I need information Flame, information from everyone on what products are hot - a secret researcher is what I need. A spy. You are that person!"

He produced some galleons and placed them on her lap.

Flame smiled. "Ok then. You want information and I'll get it." she told him, eyeing the gold.

He removed his hand from her leg and placed a few more coins in her lap. "There are other ways to earn money from me as well...bonuses if you like."

He smiled cockily. "Of course, that can wait."

She was slightly relieved when his hand moved and a slight smirk crossed her face when the galleons dropped into the laps but his words made her frown. "I am not that easily seduced, Mr Veckelo." she told him, her voice cold.

He sprinkled more gold into her lap. "Are you THAT easily seduced?"

She shook her head. "Gold can't buy that sort of thing- not from me at least. What do you take me for?" her voice was emotionless and yet she was deeply offended.

"We shall see. After my meeting the minister I could once again become the richest wizard that ever lived!"

She looked at him, unphased. "Really?" she questioned. "That sounds... Interesting."

"Well I once was...but then things happened and I went into Bankruptcy."

"But - I shall become the most powerful man on earth if this deal goes through. Once Britain take my product, every ministry will follow suite."

Flame was interested. "What is this product, may I ask? Justr curious to know what you plan to use to become very rich indeed."

Shades eyes twinkled. "Now that would be telling."

She looked at him. "You know you want to tell me." she told him.

"I offer information in return for services," he licked his lips.

She rolled her eyes. "Never give up- do you?" she snickered.

"No. My doctors say I have an obsession with sex - a disorder. I say its a gift." He smiled again.

"So how about it? Shall we celebrate our new partnership?"

"Never heard that one before." she told him, asking herself exactly how true this was. "Not exactly a normal way to 'celebrate' I guess..." she shook her head. "I can't." No- she could not compromise herself in such a way. She never had before, so why would she start now?

"Maybe when Im a tycoon you will change your mind."

She shrugged. "Perhaps."

Shade laughed. "Money is always more attractive than muscle."

She shook her head. "No- you just haven't figured me out yet." she told him. Fear was the way to make her do what you want- nothing else.

"Oh, now that you are working for me we shall have all the time in the world to figure you out."

She looked directly at him now. "Yeah. Just let me know when you do." Her voice was proud and confident when she said this afterall she didn't expect he'd be able to do it quickly, however she once again made a mental note to be cautious.
