It had been a long week for Chole Goyle, one that drained her completely. She felt like she had nothing left to give, nothing left to feel. She was depressed. Depressed about what happened between her and Jake Higgs mostly. Then the other thing was.... Valerian and Ville, the two death eaters that came to visit her on day. Chole sighed as she walked into Hogshead. Her blonde hair was down, and flared at the ends a little. She wore a dark blue v-neck long sleeved sweater and a pair of black denim pants. Hugging at her feet, she wore a pair of black slip on clogs. Once into the tavern, she looked around at all the people. Ever guy seemed to turn into one of the three guys she'd been thinking about: Jake Higgs, Valerian Amkeira, and Ville Darius.
Chole sighed, telling herself it was herself playing tricks. She found a seat off in the corner. No one was around the area, and she was releaved as she wanted to be alone. She took her seat, and placed her arms, folded, on the table, and laid her head on top. She closed her eyes, no trying to fall asleep, but not trying to think either. She needed something to happen that would make her feel better. Maybe it could be a run-in with Jake? Or a run-in with someone else?
Chole sat back up straight, and a waitress came over to her. "Can I get you anything darling?" the woman asked. Chole looked up at the woman, she looked like she was around 50 if not older. The woman had coal black hair with loads of gray on top. It looked like a roof top that had newly fallen snow. Her eyes were hazel, yet soft. The softness made Chole feel better, but the color didn't. That was Jake's eye color. Chole held back tears as she nodded to the woman, and asked for a glass of water.
The waitress nodded, and went off to get what Chole order while Chole sat there and let a few tears fall from her eyes. God.. What did I do? I should have just backed off.... she thought to herself. Chole wiped away the tear trails, and looked out a window. People was busily walking about the streets doing what they needed to do. They looked like they had no care in the world, and Chole wished she could be like that. Suddenly there was the sound of the creaking door of Hogshead opening. Chole turned to see who was coming in, like all people did. Let's just hope that the saying "curiosity killed the cat" won't happen.

Kieran pushed open the door of the Hog's Head, moving inside. He liked the Three Broomsticks, but Harry Potter had been in there the other day - Kieran had made a hasty U-turn on sighting the Auror as he had been in no state for a duel - so the Death Eater had chosen to drink at the Hog's Head for a while. He preferred the Hog's Head, for its emptiness, and lack of annoying, spectacle-wearing, bescarred, do-gooding Aurors - but he also enjoyed drinking at the Three Broomsticks; it was easier to eavesdrop in there, and many people from the Ministry chose to frequent it from time to time.
Having ordered a pint of beer from the barman, he ran a hand through his dark-blond hair as he scanned the pub for an empty table, not wanting to be sociable and sit up at the bar. He found one, near a girl who seemed to be on her own, and sat down in it, a few metres from Chole, taking a sip of his pint and surveying the interior of the Hog's Head from where he sat. He could see everyone, as his place was almost in the corner of the room.

The waitress came back over to Chole,"Here you are dearie. Pardon me, but are you all right? You look sad." Chole looked up at the woman, and gave a vague smile. "I'm all right, thank you. I-I'm just a little.. umm.. Disappointed?... In someone." "Well, if you ever need someone to talk to, just ask for Miss Vicky." And with that the waitress went off. Right.. Like I'd share my whole life story with you... Chole thought and rolled her eyes. She looked at the full glass of water now sitting on the table in front of her. "Oy..." she said softly. Chole looked around the pub once again, now noticing someone near where she was. She looked at the guy, then back at her water. Hands shaking, throat dry, Chole picked up her glass, and put it to her lips.

Kieran listened to the conversation that took place near him between the girl and the barmaid without looking over at them once, thinking that he had never known such friendly service in the Hog's Head before... Maybe it was because he was a guy, and he wasn't upset about something. In fact, the last time he had been there, he had been thrown out - he hoped they didn't remember him.
"You don't need to fear me..." he said softly, though still hadn't looked over at Chole. His storm-grey eyes were fixed on his pint instead, looking at it from his slightly slumped position in the chair.

Chole looked over at him, her eyes staring right at his. "I fear no one." Chole said, her tone icy cold. How dare he assume that I was frightened of him. she thought. Chole put her glass back down on the table, and kept her gaze on the man. He looked familiar, but she wasn't quite sure where she'd seen him before. Suddenly it hit her, she'd seen him one time with Valerian Amkeira. This man was a fellow death eater, this assumption made Chole shudder slightly, but you couldn't tell she did anything.

As Kieran looked up, he found her eyes on his and held her gaze with equal intensity, noticing the coldness of her voice and letting himself smirk a little. "That's not very clever..." he said in a slow, quiet tone, his smirk growing almost into a sneer. "You learn to use fear," he continued, voice still soft, "it becomes a powerful weapon." He hadn't blinked, and refused to break the eye-contact unless she looked away first.
Not looking down, he raised his hand to the crook of his left elbow and scratched it, careful not to pull up his sleeve too much in case he revealed the Dark Mark that had been burnt into his flesh by the Dark Lord.
The soft tones in his voice vanished, to be replaced by brisk, almost energetic ones, and Kieran sat up a little straighter, still not having broken eye-contact with her.
"So what's a young lady such as yourself doing in the Hog's Head all by herself?" he asked. He had forgotten to add 'rather attractive' in there somewhere, though it didn't really matter.

She never broke eye contact with him neither,"What's it to you?" She stared long and hard at this man,Now he thinks he can make friendly with me.. Ha! Fat chance. She, without moving her head, picked up her water, and gulped down a couple gulps. Placing it back down on the table, she arched an eyebrow.

Kieran looked at her long and hard before he replied, his voice back to its slow, quiet tones. "Oh nothing..." he said smoothly, allowing the corner of his mouth to turn up slightly in a smirk, derisive of the way she had arched her eyebrow in an effort to appear in charge of the situation - but no one took charge of Kieran Anselm save the Dark Lord and a few of his higher followers. His tone of voice had suggested exactly the opposite to what he had said, though he had done it purposefully - Chole being there alone meant absolutely nothing to him... but she didn't know that.
The Death Eater fell silent, but his eyes had not moved, still holding Chole's in a tight grasp.

Nathan had been having a pretty hectic day, first it was ‘do this’ then ‘do that’ and all of a sudden it was ‘kidnap Harry Potter’s daughter’. His only thought to that matter was, what the hell?? He was supposed to break into the most famous wizard school and kidnap the most famous Auror’s daughter, right under the nose of around five hundred other people, not to mention the entire teaching staff. And on who’s orders as well? The Dark Lord was gone, and Nathan wasn’t about to pledge allegiance to some Voldemort wannabe, he wanted the real thing, or something damn close to it.
Pushing the swing door of the Hog’s Head open Nathan walked straight to the bar, placing some money – the contents of his pockets down on the bar he said, “Fire whiskey – make it a double,” quickly counting the coins in his head he then said, “Better make that a single mate,” he then said. After receiving the dirty glass with his drink in it, Nathan turned around to face the rest of the pub, his eyes resting on a fellow Death Eater and friend, Kieran. Sitting down opposite the guy, who seemed to be talking to some one else Nathan downed his fire whiskey, not a good move as he could only afford one, but it felt good all the same. Kieran spoke again, but not to him, Nathan looked around confused, “Who the bloody hell are you talking to?” he said after a second, Nathan had a lot on his mind, he was allowed to be slow today.

Before Nathan had come in Chole feel silent, she figured maybe this guy was playing around with her. She was used to this type of bullshit you couldn't even been to think. Suddenly, Chole broke eye contact and her gaze landed on anther who had just come over to Kieran. Must be a friend... Grrreat. she thought.
Right about that time, Chole heard the swinging door open again. She rolled her eyes,I guess it's gonna be really busy today.. It was then that she heard two familar voices. Two of which she hated the most. Chole heard footsteps her way. One of the voice said a greeting to Kieran and Nathan. The other kept silent.
Chole was still facing the doorway, which was probably why the one didn't say anything. It was Valerian, another Death Eater. And with the way Ville greeted Kieran and Nathan, Chole knew she was surrounded by a group of homocidal maniacs. She got up from her seat, but found herself being pushed back down into the chair by Valerian. "Going somewhere, Miss Goyle?" his smooth cold voice asked. Chole shook her head, though frightened to death by Valerian and Ville for certain reasons, Chole pulled off the look of "whatever, I'm no scared." She sighed, and wished she'd never have come to Hog's Head.

“Who the bloody hell are you talking to?”
Both Kieran and Chole looked up at the same time, though neither of them realised it, which meant that neither had won the eye-contact 'battle' they had been having.
"This lady right here, you retard," retorted Kieran, taking a swig of beer, "unless I'm hallucinating and she's some kind of backwards boggart..."
He looked up at the greeting from Ville, giving a nod in reply with a soft, "Evening, meine freunde..." and watched as Valerian held Chole down, one eyebrow rising slightly in mild interest. "You know her?"

Valerian looked at Kieran with a devilish smirk,"Ever since she was born."

"You don't remember what I told you do you Kieran? This is the girl that I was telling you about from over summer." Valerian replied. It had been awhile since Valerian had spoke of Chole, and he never had mentioned her name, so it was quite understanding that Kieran would ask for him to explain.

Valerian expects you to remember everything he tells you... How fucking arrogant is that? As if you'd be hanging off his every word like you haven't got anything better to do... a voice said irritably in Kieran's mind, but to him it sounded as if someone was standing next to him, bending down and whispering in his ear. "You and your fucking girls, Valerian," he muttered mutinously, his eyes growing darker and more into shadow as he bowed his head slightly to glare down at the table. Though he did find it interesting that he had bumped into this girl, of all people - the one Valerian had... well. It depended on what sort of mood Kieran was in, but with the one at the moment, he could hardly bear thought on the matter.
