Delilah brushed her long brown hair over her shoulder and smiled, looking around. "It's good to be home."

She had never been an angel, ambitious and cold Flame had only ever truly befriended one person and that had been long ago, when she was in her second year. The friend went by the name of Delilah Ferrari and she had been gone when Flame returned from her flight from the Dark Lord with her mother. The friendship had been a good thing for both in some way and Flame had been upset to find Delilah had disappeared but soon told herself it was bound to happen.

It was hunger which drew her to the great hall, her stomach had not ceased complaining for hours and she had denied it being filled for she was absorbed in her own thoughts and worries without worrying about her body's aswell. But she had to give in eventually and that time was now.

She glared across the Slytherin table with cold grey eyes, searching for someone she at least spoke to to eat with when they clamped upon the once familiar sight of Delilah. She went over cautiously, flicking a long black strand of heard from her pale face. She sat down next to the girl and smiled. "Long time no see. Where you been?"

Delilah's eyes went wide with excitement. "Flame!"

She leaned over and gave her a big hug. She rarely let any emotion show unless she was snaking a man in, but Flame was different. She was the only best friend Delilah had ever known.

"I was very ill for a while. I'm back for good now. Healthy as a horse!"

((OOC I really was in the hospital this whole time. My body got really weak. Very poor immune system))

((It's ok, glad to see your back and, I'm guessing, better!!))

She was glad she had held herself back from coming to the Hall to eat, if she hadn't the scene before them wouldn't have happened. The team were sure to get back on track quickly with their devious acts of darkness, though Flame had much changed since they had last seen each other. Torture had taken it's toll on her in two ways, her appearance was not as it had once been, though she still held beauty it was not in the same way and in mind. She had not only felt it but performed it. Death had another factor, she was if possible colder than ever since she had murdered Scott Irving. But her face had certainly changed when she had seen Delilah, a smile rather than the unemotional glare which was her usual look. Flame returnwed Deliah's hug and nodded to her. "I understand, I am glad to see you're back though."

Delilah sighed.

"You have no idea how great it is to see you! Everyone is gone! Vlad, Tarian... All of my family.. I spend a few months gone and everything is different! Nobody even remembers me! People are just flaunting their men in front of me, like they like me! How weird is this!" She shook her head.

"We need to get things back to normal. Make people fear the names Ferrari and Lestrange like they used to."

Flame herself had already started to build her name again but now she had Delilah to help everything was going to go as smoothly as they had before. The pair had been inseperable, and had been definite b*****s towards every other girl in school. Their target was always the boy whom Delilah fancied but they always did it through the girl. It was at a time Flame and Scythe had still been a sturdy couple, before all the trouble that had gone down earlier that year after a relationship that had lasted two years. But still, it was all over- Flame was free again. "You're right about everyone being gone and it's great! We can start all over again and this time I can get a lad or two aswell." she said, wandering if Delilah would remember Scythe. "Everything is wierd in this school, as always. But you're right- we need people to fear us again, hate us."

"Exactly. Dumb girls talking to me like I can't take their men in a second. Who do they think they are." She huffed. "So what ever happened with you and that guy? I haven't seen him? What's up with you since I was gone? Tell me everything!"

The time had come, Delilah had to be filled in and everything she had to say had to be kept quiet. Her voice in a low whisper so noone but Delilah would hear she was about to let many things escape. "You know I disappeared before you, right? I was supposed to become a death eater but my mother whisked me off before anything could happen and so we had to keep low for a while. I came back for the third year though and I was pretty annoyed with a certain Hufflepuff called Scott Irving, I don't know if you met him, but I led him into the forest and he's gone, he will never return. I only laughed with cold satisfaction as I killed him. But then another Slytherin, she was a seventh year, tried getting in the way. I needed her to keep quiet and so I tortured her. I made the potions teacher quit, not sure how though really. I've done a lot while you've been gone, but me and Scythe split up because he's against all the unforgivable curses and stuff, their was a huge argument. I've started to get my name back, but Ferrari and Lestrange are never the same alone."

She smirked. "We can be so bad together...Now I can have a partner with no man! How perfect is this...I've never trusted anyone like I do you my dear...Even my sisters have big mouths...We can cause so much damage! I have someone in mind already. Some boy Finnigan...He called me a prostitute earlier...He has no idea who he's f*****g with!"

She saw Delilah smirk and knew everything was going to be back to normal soon: the mean team were back together and crueler than every. Dark smirk wound across her face and she glanced around. "Perfection, I know. We can be twice as much trouble as before. Anyway, your the same in my mind: so few people deserve my trust and you do." she paused. "Finn? He's such a goody-goody, I can't believe he managed to become Slytherin! He's such a hypocrite aswell."

"My plan is to turn his girlfriend against him...Maybe even date her...Get them so far apart there's no possibility of reconsiliation, and then dumping her." She giggled a sweet giggle that deffinately didn't match her.

Flame's smile turned into a cold and rather disturbing smirk which made her look slightly insane. "That's the plan, eh? Let's get started- we have no time to waste."

"None at all. The name is Faith. I already started on her...You need to go to the boy and tell him, as nicely as you can manage, that you saw us together," She leaned in and whispered all the dirty details of what went on. The dirty sexual acts that happened in her apartment...

Flame raised an eyebrow before letting a cold and utterly heatless laugh escape her pale face. Finn was going to flip, if he believed her. "I'm onto it."

She giggled.

"Make him believe. We both know how manipulative you can be my dear."

She nodded knowingly. "And if he refuses I may just need to bring him around to my way of thinking." she said, whipping her wand from her robe pocket with a snicker

She giggled and clapped her hands.

"Oh my god how exciting! I am so glad to be back!"

Flame nodded her head knowngly, scanning the staff table with her steels before looking back to her friend. "Back with more oppurtunities than ever."
