The pubs in Knockturn Alley were often littered with Dark Wizards. Though the NDE were the most dominant group, AJ knew there were other groups emerging. And if not groups, individuals who wanted to torture muggles, muggleborns, and others like them. Recently graduating from Hogwarts and awaiting his Auror exam AJ decided while living in Kennington, on the southwest side of London, he would travel to Knockturn Pubs in hope of going undercover, immercing himself in the world so it would be helpful if he was accepted to become an Auror.

He had grown accustom to this life over the past handful of weeks. Dressing in dark, grungy clothes, growing his hair out, not shaving his face much; sitting in the pub his greasy hair hid his face, wanting someone to come to him. AJ didn’t want to seem eager to talk and defiantly didn’t want to draw attention to himself.

Swinging his head up and his hair out of his eyes, he scanned the gloomy pub seeing if anybody he recognized was in it. A few regulars at the bar were there, some younger wizards and witches were drinking firewhiskey in groups. Perhaps they were future NDE members, he thought.

AJ’s eyes met someone across the way, instantly putting his head down, gulping his drink. He felt their eyes on him and knew they were coming to talk to him.

Allison had been down Knockturn all day and had finally made her way to a pub. A green blouse with long sleeves under matching color robes, Her hair down, her bangs falling around her face to fide some of the new scars on her cheek that she hadn't been able to heal properly. She hadn't seen Trey in a few days and was wondering if she cared or not. Looking around, she saw one person that gave her the odd feeling like she had met them before. Getting up from her seat, she crossed the bar with her drink and sat down next to him. "Hello." she said with a smile.

AJ looked up. He had talked to this woman before. "Hullo there," he said, but more of half moand-half groaned it. Maybe he was over playing it a bit.

"Care to join? Drinking alone is never a good idea," he said, kicking out a chair for her. He put his hair out of his face once again.

Insrtictivly AJ moved his hand to his robes where he kept his wand. Knowing full well there would be no attack, and it would be wise to attack in Knockturn Alley, he relaxed his hand on his leg.

"Fancy anotherone?" he asked, noticing her mug was quite low.

She raised her eyebrow a little, finding the way he was acting a little odd, even for someone in Knockturn. "Sure." She said when he asked if she would like to join one. "You can always use another one." She looked him over once again, she hadn't caught him moving his hand to his wand. "Haven't I seen you around before?" she asked

OOC: Just to let you know my character is in seventh year. I wasnt granted an age change

"Yeah," he sneered, "I've been around. Busy around the UK though. Up in Scotland a lot now." he then remembered her name. "You're...Alexis right?"

Intending to get her name wrong her lowered his lips to his drink. Again his hair falling in his face.

"Ah, yes you're the traveler." she said getting herself another drink, and finishing off her first oner. She remembered him a little better. He had told her a little bit about his travels when they had first me. "Allison." She corrected him. "I'm sorry but I can't remember you're name. It starts with an A doesn't it?" she asked

"Andrej," he said. Not wanting to go by AJ. Now that he thought about it, he should have had an entirely fake name.

"Has much changed since I've been here last?" he asked curiously. Seeing if she would open up a little. It was doubtful, but he hoped.

"Yes, that was it." She thought a moment when he asked if anything had changed. "No, I don't think so. I went to Whales for a few days fore some buisness," She didn't say that her business had been raiding a town of muggles. " it's a lovely place. Have you been there?" she asked him, quessing that he had.

He wondered if she had anything to do with the raid of muggles. "Yeah I've been there. I've flown most places in the UK. Where exactly in Wales?"

He wanted to see if it was the same town as the raid. He had grown daring, almost wanting her to say she was NDE. He wouldnt do anything of course. He needed to gain some Dark trust. AJ knew she would be careful with her answers.

"Oh just here and there, There were a few people I hat to see, so I didn't take too long in any one area." She said, hoping that was a good enough anwser for him, any more and she might as well roll up he sleves and tell him how much fun killing muggles in their sleep had been, beut she held herself back and took a sip of her drink, watching him carefully.

She had a vague answer but he sensed not to push it any farther. Instead he acting uninterested, like he was indeed just making small talk. The pub began to grow with more and more people. The next as grungy as he was. It was dark, but he could see their faces. Not recognizing any from the photographs he had seen and taken of rallies held by the NDE. Allison on the other hand looked familiar. He needed to gain her trust.

"Here about that raid in Wales? The muggle town. I was in Scotland attending to business that night. Too bad though..."

He wanted to leave it open.

"Yeah I did actually. I don't much care though. Muggles have done nothing for us, the fewer people the better. Those Death Eaters have the right idea I tell you." She was suprised to hear him say he thought it was too bad, she would never understand people who thought muggles were innocent. "How was Scotland?" she asked him

"Yeah. Of course I meant too bad I wasn't there to join in on the fun. Of course. I'm not an NDE, but respect Harshing's views."

He wanted to make she she understood what he was saying. "Scotland was fun. Was around Hogsmeade...love the Hog's Head of course. but then it was up to Glasgow. Heard some rumours about some gold. Needed to check it out of course."

Aria walked into a dark shady pub, suprised at herself for even entering it in the first place. She went and found a small table, then placed an order for a drink. She had spend the entire day tracking down a rare and dangerous posion she had reccently run out of and needed a break.

She wore a set of sparkling silver robes that seemed to glitter with small diamonds, each sparkling with their own bright light. In a bag she placed at her feet lay her other purchase of the day, a snake she had named Dagger.

She glanced around to see if she recognized anyone, this was a well known Death Eater hangout, but the room was too dark for her to see properly.
