Trial and Error

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda walked through the dimly lit streets of Brightstone. It was barely past 9:30am and while other students ate their breakfast she had left to head directly to meet her mentor. Only one other student had left the same time as her but his excuse was to open up the store he worked in. She had listened to his ceaseless chatter the entire way and knew he was so lucky she didn't hex him before they got to their respective destinations.

Clad once more in her customary black, Andromeda walked to through the town to the back road where there was a huge stone wall. There had never been any reason before for her to come this far while on a Brightstone trip but now there was. Her mentor was to meet her on the far side and Andromeda was determined to be early or on time but never late.

She felt the excitement build within her as she rounded the wall and stood then in wait for Miss Danielle to show. So far no one knew her secret, no one even came close to suspecting anything bad of her. Of course she was no longer sweet and polite and helpful, though as she thought about the first year and Mike Goulding, a smirk came to her face. She was being helpful but in a completely different way than what the authorities might approve of, or did approve of. Trailing a finger tip across her lips she wondered if Mike would be about when she returned or even Brian for that matter.

Andromeda frowned, why had he popped into her head like that? Disconcerted she pushed any thought of her best friend away, at least any thoughts like that. She began to empty her mind, preparing herself for the inevitable training session that would follow as soon as her mentor appeared.

 

[Danielle Zhefarovich]

Danielle was unfortunately a little late to meet her pupil in Brightstone and that upset her a little, she was never late to any occasion because she felt it reflected badly on the person arriving late. This morning was a bit of a rough one though, she had woken up feeling the worst she had felt in the longest time and had to attempt and explain to her husband where she would be going and why she was going there. It had taken longer for her to get all this done than she had expected so now she had no choice but to hurry along so she didn't become any later than she already was. Her glittering cream colored dress billowed out behind her as she carefully stepped through the streets of Brightstone, she ignored the looks that men gave her and simply tossed anyone a glare who got in her way and didn't move fast enough for her liking. Beside her there was a small White Cat with golden eyes pattering along, she hoped that the werewolf inside of Andromeda didn't mind cats all that much because that was what she was going to be stuck with for a little bit. It wasn't long before the angelic beauty had reached the area that she had instructed her and let the smallest hint of a smile rose to her face when she did in fact see her young pupil standing there just like she had told her to through an owl. This girl was not even out of school and she already found her to be much more tolerable than some of the other young Death Eaters she had met around.

"Miss Fiorelli, I apologize for being late, the marriage life has seemingly gotten my a little off track." The blonde replied softly but coldly, she felt shameful for being late but she figured the young girl would understand that Danielle was indeed a busy woman most of the time and this was out of her own good will to teach this girl. She was also not tempted to tell Andromeda that she had been feeling a bit weak and ill this morning either, she was fine now and that meant she was able to train the young girl since it did not matter to her about the past morning. The small white cat stood on the left side of Danielle and sat itself down on the ground before turning it's small head to look up at Danielle, then to Andromeda. "I hope you are feeling well enough for this, I'm not going to go easy on you just because your young." Danielle stated as she gracefully made her way close to the younger girl, her dress flowing behind her with every step she took closer to her. Her blinding blue eyes looked intently to her mentee, as if asking her if she was sure she wanted to do this.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda stood straight and tall as around the corner came her mentor. It was as if instinct took over and she bowed to the woman who had seen the potential within her, had been gracious enough to take her under her wing and teach her. Andromeda in the short few months since she had met Miss Danielle loved her now like a mother figure, a teacher, a guide. She knew without fail that she would fight to the death if needs be for this woman; she would go to any lengths to protect her. Even though Miss Danielle was by far a stronger witch, her fragile looking beauty still at times deceived the young woman who knew by now, that she should not doubt this womans strength and power.

A slight hiss and Andromeda's amber eyes flicked to the cat wielding its way about her mentors legs. She wanted nothing more than to hiss back at it but the cat belonged to her mistress and therefore she knew that she would tolerate its presence.
"Miss Danielle you have never a need to apologize to me. I am your student and loyal servant" she did not allow the mention of marraige to cause her words to falter but she noted it for later and hoped for the man's sake that he treated this woman like gold dust.

Her head inclined once again in acceptance of the woman's words.
"I am of good health and of sound mind Mistress" she told her, "I would not want you to be easy on me, I cannot learn what you would teach me unless I experience it all completely."
A flash of a memory from Durmstrang came to mind but she did not wince, these were just memories now that no longer hurt her. The scars had faded and many had been taken care of but she knew that if ever she saw Professor Glouster she would deal him the many tortorous blows that he had dealt her.
"I am ready."

 

[Danielle Zhefarovich]

Danielle was a bit surprised that Andromeda had spoke to her as if she were some sort of goddess or something, it made appreciate the young girl even more now that she knew that the girl knew how to respect her elders and higher ups. Once she finished her bow the younger girl had indeed noticed the small white cat next to Danielle, the older woman looked down at the cat and smirked out of slight amusement. She found it rather off that Nicolette chose to be a cat and come along instead of just being a human but she guessed the woman knew what she was doing. "Before we start I'd like you to meet someone though, if your willing to meet her that is?" If Andromeda didn't want to have another dark influence in her life then that was perfectly fine with Danielle, since the person she wanted her pupil to meet was mostly here to make sure that no one got bloodied up too badly or anything, she was not allowed to influence the girl to the dark so it would pretty much be a meet and greet for them. Before Danielle even waited for answer she summoned her wand to her hand and held it tightly between pale fingers, she hoped Andromeda was good with blocking spells and everything or Danielle was going to have to teach her a lot more than she had thought she would.

"Over the next couple of years you and I are going to get to know each other well. I will teach you every piece of dark magic you can handle. I will teach you how to recognize a person's weakness and use it destroy them, how to become a much more powerful witch than you ever imagined, and even how to appear as nothing more than innocent while doing it all." Danielle fiddled with her wand as she spoke to Andromeda, explaining some of the things she would be focusing on within the next few years while she trained her, of course there would be more but not all of that was important. And since she was willing to let Danielle not take it easy on her she she that the girl would indeed advance further on, and that made it all the more reason to have Nicolette keep an eye on things, Danielle didn't want to bring immense harm to her new pupil who was almost like a daughter to her.

A haunting smile appeared on her angelic face, "I may even share you some stories of what it was like to be a Death Eater back when the Dark Lord was alive and we were at power." It would truly be rare for her to tell anyone stories of back then because she rarely liked to speak of those times, it always brought up bad memories of the day many of her friends were killed or taken away because of them losing the battle. Danielle had especially remembered the way her heart sunk when she had heard of Bellatrix's death.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda listened patiently to her mentor, nodding her head at the mention of meeting someone. If Miss Danielle needed her to meet someone then it was not her place to refuse such a meeting. If anything at all it was another honour bestowed on her by her mentor.
"I would be glad to meet anyone you want me too" she told her truthfully, standing almost to attention as if she expected this other person to simply appear out of thin air at any moment.

As Miss Danielle continued to speak, Andromeda knew that for many years she had been disgusted and fearful of the Dark Lord and his believes and teachings, now though she felt none of that. And actually found that she was eager to learn more, to understand it all as if it were all connected to her anyhow. As if this was all simply part of her heritage that her fathers marrying Maeve O'Brien denied her. It was then because of 'the gift' that she had been given that had enabled her to return to the path her family had strayed from. She gave the slightest of smiles to her mentor, wondering just how she was to pull off the looking innocent part when she always looked far from it.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette was still in disbelief that Danielle was going to actually become a mentor for someone who wanted to become a Death Eater that wasn't her kid or anything. Especially since Danielle had to be possibly one of the meanest and most harsh woman that even she had ever come across in all her days of being a Death Eaters as well, and thats why this kid needed all the luck she could get for this. Sitting patiently in her Animagus form next to Danielle she lived that she was now able to use her transfiguration skills once again now that she was no longer pregnant, she missed being able to use it all the time since it was often so much fun to be a feline. But she would soon have to return to her normal form to complete the job asked of her by her Ranee, to make sure she could heal anyone if things got too bloody or violent. At least it would probably be a good show then, though she hoped it wouldn't go on too long because she did eventually have to get back to tended to Bothizar since Kalif was at work and everyone else seemed a little to busy to watch her baby all day. When the girl said she was willing to meet anyone Danielle told her to and she was given the signal to change back Nicolette couldn't help but think about what a pain in the butt this always changing back and force. Quickly she stepped closer to the girl allowed her body to morph back into her Human Form and gave a sly grin over to the young girl who must have been Danielle's pupil. The girl probably figured she was just a silly little cat or something, which was something that would have been expected of anyone who didn't know Nicolette well enough.

"I'm Nicolette Styx, I was asked to come here to make sure you don't get bloodied up to badly." The whole time she was saying this to her she had a bubbly smile on, it still had a hint of darkness to it but it was really just more friendly and happy than anything. Despite her always being happy though she was still one of the worst Death Eaters in New Zealand right now and it would be foolish to underestimate her. "It's nice to meet another future follower of the Dark Arts." She flicked some of her wavy blonde hair away from her face and stood back to stand next to Danielle who had been silent the entire time, there was something special about this girl if she was being trained by one of the elder Death Eaters. Now even Nicolette wanted to see what she could do.

 

[Danielle Zhefarovich]

Danielle glanced at Nicolette oddly for a moment, how that woman could be so up and active right after having a baby less than a month or so ago was completely against her. Still the woman would probably be needed if there was going to be any dueling or something in case an injury or two came um because it would not be Danielle's intention to cause any great harm to her student. "She's a very skilled Healer and a newer family member of mine, she made be able to teach you some things as well." The angelic blonde stated when her eyes shifted away from the golden eyed woman and back to Andromeda whom she wished she could tell what the girl was thinking right now. For some reason it was hard for Danielle to sense the girls' aura right now and that made her a little bit frustrated, it usually came naturally to her. Stepping close to Andromeda with her wand in hand she was tempted to pull out her second one, usually the one she only used in real emergency's or difficult duels.

"So Andromeda, what do you think we should focus on first in whatever I have to teach you? You know better than I all your strengths and weakness'." Danielle would try her best to mold the young girl into everything she had been molded into over the years but that would work much faster if they actually started with stuff she could handle and wanted to handle. It had taken years for Danielle herself to learn anything because she often lost interest and lazed off with her father, then again he never taught her anything worth learning anyways.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda felt the air change slightly about them and suddenly her gaze was drawn to the cat that began to move away from her mentor. She had seen enough animagi in her time change their form but it always amazed her, even though she was able to transform into a beast this was not the same at all. Their animgus forms could be tapped into whenever they wanted them, could transform whenever they needed too. Andromeda could only change on the full moon and now only when she came into view of it. She did know that there were werewolves who were strong enough after years and years of being a lycanthrope, of being able to will the change themselves but why anyone would want to had always been beyond her.

Now she watched the cat ripple into another beautiful woman and she felt jealousy cut through her. She would love to be able to change when she wanted, especially now when she no longer considered her condition a curse. She inclined her head solemnly to the woman to defer respect to her and did a double glance at her when she said her name. Styx? Andromeda wondered briefly if she was in any way related to the herbology professor at her school but said nothing. Surely there were other Styx around, Jaken - Estrella's husband was one after all and she didn't know of any connection between him and the professor either. It was none of her business she decided at last though it would pop up unbidden to her thoughts again later; for now she concentrated on what was being told her. So the woman was a skilled healer, Andromeda felt another wave of respect for the new woman amongst them.

"Thank you for being here. I hope you won't be needed though" she offered up a small smile because she really hoped that she wouldn't be blasted to ribbons here today. Andromeda turned to her mentor considering exactly what she wanted to learn.

"Curses... I have never had the intent to actually do dark magic before. I can jinx and hex with the best of them but a prank is easy to accomplish. I want to have the conviction behind my words to be able to do real damage, real hurt."

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette blinked, clearly a little surprised by the way this girl acted when she was already so new to learning all this stuff. Most of the newer Death Eaters were nothing but idiotic morons who thought they were awesome and owned the world, a lot of the older members really frown upon them for it too. But there was always a select few that didn't fit the type and managed to show respect to those they needed to show respect too and everything, thats what made Nicolette like this one already. "Oooh, Danielle I like this one! Can we keep her around?" Her grin widened a little as her gold eyes flicked over to the woman who was Andromeda's mentor and would be the ultimate one to decide how things and how they didn't. For some reason though she could see that the French woman had already taking a liking to the young girl, as the young girl to her. It appeared that they were already close, almost like a mother and a child. Running a hand through her wavy hair she smiled at Andromeda softly, she looked like she was young enough to be in school and everything. "Excuse me for asking this, but are you still in school?" Nicolette knew a lot of people that either worked at or attended the school itself, and since it had been know and certified that Andromeda was indeed a Death Eater in training chances were she could be trusted to know who some of these people were.

"I'm sure I won't be needed. I'm also here to keep a small eye on Danielle herself too. This morning she was quite ill, why she's up and okay now is against me." Nicolette winked one of her sparkling Golden eyes at Andromeda before she glanced at Danielle and stepped back to allow the teaching to begin. Her job was to make sure no one got hurt and that Danielle was able to keep herself from getting sick or weak again, what was up with her was unknown to the Healer. The woman's infertility prevented her from becoming pregnant so that wasn't the option, it had to be something else and it needed to be figured out fast.

 

[Danielle Zhefarovich]

Danielle said nothing when Nicolette asked if they could keep Andromeda around because she liked her, of course they were going to keep her around if she was expected to become a skilled Death Eater like she had been promised she would become if she followed them and obeyed their every word. Danielle already had a fondness for the young girl too and that was what made her want to keep her around that much more, it was rare when she held an attachment to anyone that wasn't her own child since even most of her family angered her at times. If it hadn't been for the Zhefarovich family she probably would have completely fallen apart and given into the urge to just lose her mind completely. When the woman dared to mention that she had been ill this morning the blonde shot a deep and threatening glare at her, no one but she had known but now her pupil knew as well. As long as all of this kept from Asparuh then no real trouble should happen, unless Andromeda was planning to lecture. "Don't you have a newborn to tend to Nicolette? I am fine and ready to teach my pupil." She stated pridefully as a hand went up to carelessly flick a strand of hair out of her face to her bright colored eyes could continued to give Nicolette a warning stare. As much as she appreciated the woman's help she did not want this getting out, if people knew she had been sick or weakened it could mean trouble for her. Besides she felt fine right now, she was eager to teach Andromeda a thing or too. Her beautiful gaze landed on her student once more as she took in once more what the girl wanted to learn and why she wanted to learn them, it brought a haunting smile to her face.

"Hearing such words makes me proud. You want to know some dark curses? You mean like the Unforgivable Curses or more simple ones?" The blonde asked with a hint of darkness and malice in her voice, she could easily teach both but one set of them was of course more serious and should be monitored a bit more carefully. Actually all dark curses would, hopefully the girl had good concentration and wasn't grossed out or weak around blood or anything like that.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Not a flicker of a smile betrayed that she was delighted with the woman's words, obviously she was doing something right she just hadn't a clue what that something was. With a swift nod of her head Andromeda answered her.
"Yes this is my NEWT year at Hogwarts" she told her truthfully, knowing there was no reason to hide that fact from her as her mentor was already privvy to this information and more. However the young woman's shrewd amber eyes flicked to her mentor when it was mentioned about her being sick. She took a tenative step forward and worry for Miss Danielle creased her face, a flicker of emotion before she masked it again.

Their previous lessons were about not displaying any show of emotion, to keep the face void of feeling lest her opponent see a weakness there. It was no secret that she felt a bond to her mentor and cared for the woman as if she were a blood relative. Andromeda had come to think of her in a more favourable light than her own mother and knowing that she was ill, set her conscience to unease. She would rather her mentor be taken care of effectively than be out here seeing to her training but it was not her place to say so, though it pained her to keep quiet.

"I've had two of the unforgivables used on me before, I want to learn how to use them. I never want to feel that helpless and useless ever again Miss Danielle" she said, there was not a trace of arrogance in her voice. Simply put and respectfully spoken she waited to see if her mentor would allow her to learn these particular curses today, "We could summon some animal from the woods."
Indicating the nearby copse of trees to the other side of them. Andromeda did not want to duel with unforgivables against her mentor especially if she were ill, though she seemed healthy enough now.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Once the question was answered Nicolette cocked her head to the side curiously, so she was young enough to the point where she still went to school but old enough to still be considered an adult. That meant that this girl was about the same exact age that she had been herself when she became a Death Eater and started to follow the ways of the Dark Lord and her past family members. "Hogwarts New Zealand?" Nicolette asked after a moment, there was quite a few Hogwarts around and she was hoping that Andromeda went to the one she was asking about, having students or people around that were also connected to these families and this lifestyle might help the girl out a little. When Danielle got agitated and lashed out by asking Nicolette if she had a newborn to attend to the blonde snickered at her, no wonder she and Asparuh got along so well since they both seemed to lose their temper quickly. "I'll be along soon to check on Bothizar, no worries Danielle." Nicolette winked at her before she leaned against the wall and watched the Ranee of her family carefully, she would need to be off and back a few times during the training session so she could go and check on her baby. But she also needed to here to make sure nothing bad happened to either of them, Dark Magic had unpredictable results at times and one could never be to safe when using them.

"Some people are powerful enough to resist a few of those curses you know? Doesn't always work but I've seen people become almost immune to The Cruciatus Curse and resist the Imperius Curse. Your mentor being one of the few." Nicolette stated scratching her cheek lightly, she had seen Danielle easily have no issues at all with those two curses many times before. Of course the last one would be something she couldn't avoid, but the Imperius curse didn't seem to work on her that well and with how often Danielle either used or had Crucio used on her for various odd reasons it seemed like she didn't always mind it.

 

[Danielle Zhefarovich]

Danielle raise an eyebrow at Andromeda when she heard the girl say that she had the curses used on her before and she never wanted to feel weak like that again. "Andromeda, who used those curses on you?" Her voice held coldness but also curiosity in it, her idea was suddenly sparking some wicked ideas and she found herself loving the idea of hunting the poor bastard down and showing them what happened when you turned you back and used curses on someone who was destined to be dark. Then again it might have been school related and if that was the case there was nothing that could be done about it. Danielle decided that she would teach those curses to the young girl, those three and one more that she was pretty sure the young girl would find just as able to bring harm as those three would. Tapping Andromeda on the shoulder and motioning for Nicolette to watch from where she was she gracefully stepped her way over to the forest where she used a bit of wandless magic to summon a large deer to her, it would be perfect for what she wanted to show the girl. Since Danielle was pretty frail and short she was about the same size as Andromeda maybe even a little smaller, leaning over she carefully whispered into he girls ear. "I will teach you but I want to show you something else first, something else just as dark." She pulled away the evil and sly smirk was on her face the whole time, this happened to be one of her favorite dark spells just because of the mess it made and the suffering it caused. This one happened to not be Unforgivable too, so there was often less of a chance of landing yourself in Azkaban for using one of them on someone else, in fact the girl may or may not have already know this spell but Danielle was going to show her anyways.

"Sectumsempra!" When a slashing movement of her wand she aimed the spell at the deer before her and watched in sick amusement as injuries and deep gashes appeared all over the deer, blood pouring out of each wound like a fountain. Pretty soon the injuries had gotten so bad the deer toppled over into it's owl pool, it was then that Danielle smirked and lowered her wand before motioning for Nicolette to go and heal the poor beast. She could have done the spell nonverbally and wandlessly too if she had desired but she wanted to teach Andromeda. "That spell is also a very dark and very powerful one. It can cause fatal injuries and immense pain if used right, remember that. Now, ready to learn the rest?" The woman looked down darkly at her student, she was ready and willing to get as detailed as she needed to be with these curses. after all she was one of the Original Death Eaters and had learned her skills from the best. She only hoped Voldemort would be proud of his remaining army from the past.

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

"The Hogwarts here in New Zealand" she told Nicolette Styx and then cast her gaze swiftly at her mentor as Nicolette spoke, she was astounded and in awe of her once more. When she herself had been struck with the cruciatus curse she had only been thirteen and had been used as a sort of show and tell piece for the DA class at Durmstrang. She had learned of course that those of strong mind could withstand the curse and the imperius curse but she had never actually met anyone who had before. Pride filled her as she looked with new eyes on her mentor.

"I was sent to Durmstrang in my second year, when Professor Glouster found out I was a werewolf he had me sent to the dungeons there. I spent most of my time caged up in human form and other times as my werewolf form, so he could demonstrate different spells for his lessons on me" she said it so flatly as if it didn't bother her in the slightest but it did and always would. If she ever came face to face with the man again, she wanted nothing more than to rip him limb from limb.

Miss Danielle walked towards her and with little effort summoned without the use of a wand or words a deer. Not some small thing either, the beast that came through the trees to them was a mature deer. Tall and statuesque. Andromeda admired the beast and knew if she was a werewolf she would have this particular one torn apart he was that succulent. She watched fascinated as her mentor said the strange spell, watched as slashes appeared on the body of the deer. It bucked and whined bleeding profusely all over the place as it fell over. It's limbs shaking and coming to a sudden stillness but Miss Danielle ordered Nicolette to heal it before it had any chance to die from it's wounds. Andromeda turned to her, there was a moment whereby she had felt the creatures pain and had wanted nothing more than to stop but her eyes had been riveted, the darkness that was consuming her seemed to delight in the creatures pain.

Nodding her head she looked at her mentor.
"I am ready."

 

[Nicolette Styx]

When Andromeda told Nicolette that she indeed went to Hogwarts New Zealand she couldn't help but let another smile rise to her lips, this girl was indeed amongst many of her commrads or family members of theirs. Stepping back from healing the deer from the huge gashes that Danielle had caused previously, healing was never an issue with her so it took less than ten seconds for her to completely heal the animal as if nothing had ever happened. "Ha, really my brother works there as a Potions Professor, you might remember him as Professor Nicolas Hensel. As well as my brother-in-law Prodan Zhefarovich!" She beamed, remembering that most of the people that she either knew or worked at the school that she was close with. It would probably come as a surprise to most how many of the Zhefarovich's in general were either working in the school or the Ministry . You think people would think about this a little more about who they were allowing under their noses like that. Nicolette's golden eyes sparkled a little in the light, which was someone she did often when she was excited. "I'm sure you've probably met Professor Styx too, he's my husband." Her grin never faltered as she spoke, then her eyes followed to Danielle who was still quiet the whole time as she spoke. It humoured her to think that Danielle had yet to mention any part of her family to her mentee. Then again Danielle did like her privacy and hated it when people tried to meddle in her family without her knowing them for a long time in case they were alleged with Aurors or something.

"Professor Glouster? Is this guy still alive?" Nicolette cocked her head to the side softly, watching Danielle carefully out of the corner of her eye she knew the elder woman would wait for Andromeda to answer before she tried to teach her anything.

---

(Andy should post once quickly before I have Danielle post. )

 

[Andromeda Fiorelli]

Andromeda watched the woman fascinated beyond reason with how she was healing the deer, she couldn't help but move forward to watch her. Listening to those who this woman was related too the young woman's eyes opened wide in delighted disbelief.
"I know them both, Professor Prodan is a wonderful professor but I don't take muggle studies any more but I will have Professor Hansel again next semester for potions" both were decent professors in her view. They had a passion for the position they held and they subjects they taught which Andromeda always admired.

Her eyes filled with a deeper respect when the woman mentioned who her husband was. Andromeda knew what people said around the school about him, she knew what other students felt about him but she had never listened or cared for any of it. The man was an excellent professor and as such had earned her respect a long time ago.
"It is a pleasure to meet the wife of my herbology professor. He's a great man" she told her truthfully, hoping then that Miss Danielle would allow Mrs Styx the chance to teach her some healing incantations and potions at some point, Andromeda moved back from the deer to stand once again near her mentor.

"He is still very much alive" this time her voice was not respectful, it was said bluntly with no feeling for she neither loved nor hated the man. She felt nothing for him and knew that someday she would be able to end the vermin's life because of this.

 

[Nicolette Styx]

Nicolette still kept that grin on her face as she watched Andromeda reacted to hearing that Nicolette herself knew so many of the people that she saw everyday in school and everything. The part about this that the Death Eater found most humorous about this is how she also knew much more about them than most of the students would ever learn even after knowing them for seven years of being taught by them. "You probably like my brother, he's like the big brother kind of guy. Bit of a Pyro though." Nicolette snorted as she told Danielle's student about her older brother who would soon be teaching Andromeda potions during the next semester. If it hadn't been for her teaching Nicolas everything she knew about Potions then he probably wouldn't be as skilled as he was today. Even though he was older than her she was pretty sure she outranked him in strength and in wits at times, just because of how many years she had been trained to be the sort of person she was today, the bubbly Death Eater. A small giggle escaped Nicolette's lips when she heard that Andromeda indeed knew her husband, it still amused her today that he was a Professor.

"I'll be sure to put in a good word for you then, I promise he's way more amusing outside of school though. I promise." Nicolette winked softly at the younger girl before she returned her gaze back to the deer Danielle was still staring at as if she had a death wish planned out for it or something. Suddenly Nicolette felt the sudden urge to check on her baby and sighed softly, actually she even had the sudden urge to cuddle with all her babies on the couch before they all fell asleep cuddled with one another. "I'll be right back, I need to go check on my baby. Be right back." Without another word to the two she apparated off for a bit to make sure Bothizar was doing alright without her.

 

[Danielle Zhefarovich]

Danielle listened with slight interest as Andromeda and Nicolette spoke about the various family members of the Zhefarovich family that worked at the school, only one of them being a Death Eater and being worthy enough in Danielle's mind. Brushing some of her blonde hair out of her face and smirked, it was truly obvious that Nicolette seemed to care for her husband just by the way she spoke of him and the fact that the two of them were still having children together, never before had Danielle received or given that type of affection before, she was a heartless nobody as far as it concerned her all these years. When Nicolette suddenly excuse herself to go check on Bothizar Danielle sighed softly and rolled her angelic blue eyes. "Please excuse her, she and your Herbology Professor just had a baby over a month ago so she's constantly checking on the baby." Danielle answered with a meek sigh to Andromeda once their healing companion had left to go check on her son. It was people like Nicolette that made Danielle want to have another baby. She only had two many years and could not have any since because of her infertility, of course she wanted a big family with many children but it just never happened. Trying to cover up the fact she was distressed at the moment she shook her head and gripped her wand, damn her family to hell for cursing her like this. Her head snapped towards Andromeda when she heard that the man who tortured her was alive. "Well see how long he lasts." The blonde scoffed before once she gripped her wand tightly, her upset nature had come from her thinking about babies and now she just wanted something to suffer, she was a cold, heartless Death Eater and she was prone to letting her true colors show when she was upset.

"So you wanna learn about those three curses? Let's start with the Imperius Curse." Muttering the incantation for the curse and aiming the curse at the deer, easily forcing it to come closer to her without much resistance, she found this curse the easiest of the three to use and often found to be the most fun to use as well. "You may already know what this curse does. It works a lot better for you when you have higher concentration level, and even better if you have built up aggression. To resist the curse you'd need to be able have a very strong mind, it's very rare for people to be able to do. I'm a skilled Occlumens so it's no hard task for me." After forcing the deer to crash and trash around she finally had the deer close enough to her where she held the curse on to make the dear stand still and for Andromeda to look at the deer closely. It didn't like it was in any pain at all.
