* - - waiting in the dark (chun)

[OLIVIA JASMINE MONTAGUE]

Things were going flawlessly so far and Olivia Jasmine Montague liked it when things went flawlessly. She just hoped that continued on this way for the rest of the year as she slowly unwraveled her mischevious plot. It will be truly wonderful to show those little Mudbloods that they don’t belong in the Wizarding World.

Olivia was once again down in the depths of the Chamber of Secrets, it was after the Goblet of Fire Ceremony, one that took longer than she would’ve liked. Of course Professor Longbottom had to come in running at the last second to tell Professor Shacklebolt what was going on, but quite frankly she trusted Jacob to make sure that Hugo didn’t remember a thing. Jacob knew what would happen if he were to screw up.

But she wasn’t waiting for Jacob; no she was waiting for her other loyal friend, Chun. Chun was the one to bring the toad that Jacob had captured down into the Chamber of Secrets and of course they were to stick it to the egg that Olivia had gotten earlier. Unfortunately after that they would have to wait for the egg to hatch. But that didn’t mean they couldn’t wreak havoc on some other blood traitor or muggleborn. But they would need to stay away from the champions for now. It was too bad for there was one of them that Olivia would have loved to crush herself, but that would be later on.

She was standing in front of the statue of Salazar Slytherin, one of the few wizards she idolized. Another one happened to be Lord Voldemort, she had heard many stories of him growing up. But now it was going to be Oliva’s turn to rise as the Dark Lady Olivia. She wasn’t going to be like Voldemort and hide her name with some silly name, she wanted her real name out there and she wanted people to fear her real name for the rest of their lives.

But that wasn’t going to be able to happen until they got this year over with and everything goes smoothly. She glanced over at the doors that lead to the very depths of the chambers. She knew that Chun would be there soon with the toad that was required.

[CHUN CUAN AU-YONG]

She could feel it squirming. In her bag. Where she kept her things in. Ugh... Chun was definitely getting up early in the morning to clean that thing before she put anything else in there. The slytherin tried not to think about it too much, trudging her way though the Hogwarts corridors to the chamber of secrets. The slytherin had done it enough times to know which ways tended to be least patrolled. While it was a bit out of the way, it did give her time to mull over things and well, given recent events, she needed to consider her actions carefully. These days, it seemed like every action could have very drastic consequences if she wasn't careful.

Of course, that could just be her paranoia talking. The Chinese girl sometimes wondered if she was just overly cautious when it concerned things like her mental health and keeping things quiet about her dark lady. She nearly had a panic attack when Professor Longbottom came into the great hall about the attack earlier that evening. It shouldn't be that surprising, but she was hoping a little that Jacob would have enough mind to stash the boy somewhere until they had everything set. Obviously that didn't work. Of course, its not like anyone mentioned that fact when they were initially making the plans. The Chinese girl supposed it didn't matter so long as no one saw Jacob, but it still was nerve-wracking.

Then of course, her fiancee was chosen to be a champion for Ravenclaw. Not really that big of a deal, but she didn't expect Olivia to leave them be forever. As much as she was disgusted with the arrangement, Chun didn't really have much against the boy. He stayed away from her unless necessary and she did the same. She wasn't too sure how her father would react to the idea of her attacking her fiancee because her cousin's fiancee said so... one that she was completely infatuated with. Mm, the slytherin could see how that would fuel her worries. She supposed she would have to break it to Dante eventually just what was going on. He wasn't stupid; he had to know something was going on.

The chamber door opening nipped the thought out of her mind, instead focusing on finding her lady. Though she would never openly admit it, she was really looking forward to spending some time with the girl alone, selfish as it was. The Asian didn't think they were going to talk about anything other than business, but she couldn't say she would be disappointed with just that. There was a certain gratefulness she can get in just a surface-level conversation. Getting to know Olivia better though would be nice. One step at a time, she supposed.

It didn't take long to find the fellow slytherin near the salazaar slytherin statue, offering a smile as she stepped into the chamber. ”Evening. I hope you haven't been waiting long.” It only took a few strides to be by Olivia's side, kneeling down to open the knapsack where the toad was 'ribbiting' loudly inside. ”With everything that's been happening, it was easy sneaking down here. You picked a good night, Olivia. Let's just hope it stays that way.”

[OLIVIA JASMINE MONTAGUE]

Olivia was lost in her thoughts as she thought about her plans for in the future when she was done at Hogwarts. She was sure that everything that happens this year would remain a mystery to everyone that was how she had intended it to me. For this year to be a mystery and to go around the world and start collecting things that she would need when she was ready to show the Wizarding World a new order, one that only those who were born into magical families were allowed. Muggles and muggleborns would be their slaves, that would be the only purpose they would serve, they would be just like those wretched house elves, Olivia would make sure of that.

“Evening. I hope you haven't been waiting long.” Olivia’s thoughts were interrupted by the person that she had been waiting for. Olvia turned around and smiled at the young Japanese girl knowing that by her being here meant that she had successfully made it down here with the toad they would need for their little project that really wasn’t that little. “ With everything that's been happening, it was easy sneaking down here. You picked a good night, Olivia. Let's just hope it stays that way.” Of course Olivia had picked a good night. She had made sure of that; after all, everything needed to go flawlessly, but that didn’t mean that they wouldn’t be needing back-up plans as well. Something that Olivia wanted to discuss with Chun that night. They needed some other plans, just in case someone got close to finding out who is really behind everything.

“Aw, my dear Chun, I’m glad you didn’t keep me waiting long. I’ve always known that I could trust you,” Olivia walked towards Chun and put her arm around her as she brought her closer to the Salazar Slytherin, where they egg they had required not too long ago rested. “And of course I would pick a good night. I’ve thought carefully on what night would be best. I can’t wait to see the looks on everyone’s faces when they find out that the youngest Weasley Boy doesn’t know who is attacker was,” she chuckled lightly before the two of them stopped before the egg. Now all they had to do was stick the wretched little toad to the egg and wait for it to hatch. She surely hopped that it wouldn’t take too long. She was actually pretty sure that it wouldn’t take that long at all, it had to be close to hatching and the book never said the toad had to stay on it the whole time. She knew it only needed to be when it hatched, but she wanted it on longer, just in case.

“However, we’ll need to figure out some more plans for the future. Plans to take of plans in case something else happens. We need to be one step ahead of everyone, especially the Professors. And Chun my dear, it is with you I want to discuss this. Yes Jacob is quite useful, but his planning is just too brash at times. We must keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn’t step out of line, you know how he can be,” she smirked lightly knowing that Chun knew exactly what she was talking about.

[CHUN CUAN AU-YONG]

She couldn't stop her heart from skipping a beat at Olivia's smile, returning it with a bit of a nervous one of her own. Chun was beyond the level of overt awkwardness when it came to her friendship with Olivia, but the Chinese girl still worried over her reactions around the other slytherin, much to her dismay. It would be more of a burden to desire more than what she currently had with her dear dark lady. She enjoyed her position as an advisor and companion, despite the rather dangerous position. The slytherin had faith in the brunette in knowing how to keep people from looking in the wrong places and still ultimately take over.

Ehh... The Chinese girl just hoped her fellow housemate could make good excuses to get her out of her home, and (she shuddered at the thought) her... marriage... with Jaycen. If it wasn't for Dante and Olivia, she was sure she would've preferred to be homeless at this point. Shaking her thoughts away, Chun lifted the toad out of her bag, frowning deeply as it squirmed in her grasp. Then, the Chinese girl nearly dropped it in shock when her lady wrapped an arm around her, blushing deeply at the gesture. Suddenly, she forgot how to think. ”Uh... th... thank you!” the slytherin spluttered out, allowing herself to be led to the statue. ”A-as you command!”

She shared the small chuckle with Olivia, though she had yet been able to relax with the show of affection. Affection had always been a weird thing for her, considering its rarity for the most part. Not that it wasn't unpleasant, mind you. It did her well to know she had been trusted. ”I must stop underestimating you, shouldn't I?” Chun joked, offering a playful smirk. It was easier to hide awkwardness through jokes. It was an easy mechanism to use around friends, when anger and hatred didn't really work. While it didn't put her mind at ease, sometimes she knew it did for her companions.

As they stopped in front of the egg, Chun paused to listen to Olivia intently, feeling her embarrassment renew somewhat by the compliments. Of course, she understood. If Chun was more like Jacob, she was sure her lady would be pulling out her hair constantly in frustration. They probably would've been caught by now as well. ”I... Of course. Jacob is good at what he does... but I can understand.” she commented quietly, however giving an affectionate smile. Basically, she wanted a way to cover their tracks. Simple enough, she supposed. ”Usually, people cover their tracks using a scapegoat. If a mistake is going to happen, we might as well put those mistakes to use, and point everyone in the wrong direction. It can buy us more time...”

[OLIVIA JASMINE MONTAGUE]

“ I... Of course. Jacob is good at what he does... but I can understand.” Olivia smiled glad that Chun understood what she meant. Yes Jacob was indeed good, but he needed to learn to not always take it too far. “ Usually, people cover their tracks using a scapegoat. If a mistake is going to happen, we might as well put those mistakes to use, and point everyone in the wrong direction. It can buy us more time...” she knew that she could leave it to Chun to come up with a small idea, and of course together they could expand on it. “Yes, a scapegoat…” she cut off as she pondered for a moment. But who could they use. There were so many choices in the school, but of course they had to pick the right one in order for it work properly.

And then it hit her. “Lucy Sanguini,” she said with a smirk as she looked at Chun. She wondered if Chun would be confused by the fact that Olivia pretty much just said a random student’s name. But it was all too perfect. She had seen Lucy around and knew that the disgusting little half breed wanted to be a part of her loyal Dark Knights, as Olivia called her followers. Sure in Lord Voldemort’s time there were called Death Eaters, but it was now Lady Olivia’s time. The Lady and her Knights will one day over take the wizarding world, there was no doubt about that.

“She’s the only other Parsletounge in the school. I’ve seen her talk to a snake before, pretty sure she thought no one else was looking, but it seems that she would be the best option,” Olivia began and then stopped. She wanted Chun to think about it for a moment, to see if Chun could see why else she was perfect for their Plan B as some would call it.

[CHUN CUAN AU-YONG]

She wasn't surprised by how quickly Olivia came up with a name, all but expecting it from the brunette at this point. Some days, a spring board was far from being necessary for her leader. This is something she admired about the dark lady. Her charismatic nature was easily admirable; always seeming to have some kind of plan going on her mind. She understood the basic necessity of it. Any sort of lack in confidence meant losing followers. This was the reason why she could never work as a leader. Even the simplest of social interactions made her falter some days, and then, it was just being afraid of people. Too easy to fall toward anger. Too, too, easy.

”Lucy Sanguini huh?” Chun made a small noise of thought, a thin line forming on her mouth. It made sense. The girl was all too eager whenever they spoke, and her pretentious attitude grated on her nerves one too many times. Hell, she could practically beg for Sanguini to be killed for the scapegoat plan. However, Olivia wanted logical, and she wasn't one to disappoint her dear friend for it. Out of the two advisors, one of them needed to be. The brunette would be tearing her hair out if she was equally as reckless.

”I agree, she's a good choice,” the Chinese girl mused softly, watching the toad squirm in her hands. ”We can offer her to join us. Give her enough information to placate her and put her in places we want. Not enough to ruin us though. It should be simple enough between all of us.” She took her wand from her pocket. ”We'll just have to keep the charade up long enough.”

[OLIVIA JASMINE MONTAGUE]

“Lucy Sanguini huh?” Olivia smirked as Chun repeated the half-vampire’s name that she had planned to use for their alternate plan, in case someone just got a little too nosy. “I agree, she's a good choice,” Olivia nodded. Of course the Sanguini girl was a good choice. Olivia wasn’t just going to choose anyone. “We can offer her to join us. Give her enough information to placate her and put her in places we want. Not enough to ruin us though. It should be simple enough between all of us. Olvia nodded some more. Yes it was the perfect idea, to have someone else take all the blame if something where to happen. “We'll just have to keep the charade up long enough.”

Olivia took her arm off of Chun and took a step back knowing that soon she would be permanently attaching the Weasley kid’s toad to the chicken egg. Their plans would be going perfectly so far. “Yes, we’ll tell her as little as needed. I know she’ll be thrilled to join the group. And if the time comes, we’ll make sure that she’s the one caught down here with the basilisk,” she laughed at the very thought of the Sanguni girl getting caught down in the depths of the Chamber of Secrets and then getting expelled from to school when it wasn’t even her in the first place.

“So my dear Chun, did you find the perfect spell to stick this disgusting toad to the chicken egg?” she asked lightly as she flipped her long brown hair and then ran her fingers through it. She didn’t know why she asked, she knew that Chun was always faithful and successful with the assignments that she gave her. Chun was one of the few that she could completely trust, other than Jacob and her two twin cousins.

[CHUN CUAN AU-YONG]

She thought about mentioning the fact that they probably shouldn't let the basilisk go as much as they could, but Chun figured Olivia probably knew that already. After all, the giant snake was probably going to be one of their most important assets since the whole gigantic snake thing. Though she supposed they would be hard pressed to find a suitable place to put it once they graduated from Hogwarts. Then again, all three of them were likely to be pretty well off, so someone should have the space for it at least. The Chinese girl just hoped it wasn't her. If she really did have to marry Jaycen, she'd prefer not having to explain why she wanted to have a basilisk as a “pet.”

How would you feed it anyway? ”Its always the most eager that are the easiest to fool, aren't they?” the slytherin asked wistfully. There was small moment of paranoia that made her wonder if she was a little too eager herself when it came to orders. She did like being useful when it came to this sort of thing, far too useless when in her own home. Of course, it was likely something her father orchestrated. She liked telling herself that anyway. No, bad thoughts, it wasn't a time to concentrate on those. Either way, she trusted Olvia enough to not stab her in the back. Chun wasn't too sure she'd complain too much if it did happen.

The Asian watched Olvia play with her hair for a moment, at first a bit hypnotized by those hands. However, she did catch the question in time, briefing a smirk even as a small blush began to form. ”Of course! Wouldn't want any unnecessary trouble for my lady. Allow me.” Her smirk had turned almost soft at the end of her words before finally morphing into a grimace as she looked back the the toad in her hands. She took her wand out of her pocket. ”If you could get the egg for me, I've got the perfect spell.”

[OLIVIA JASMINE MONTAGUE]

“Its always the most eager that are the easiest to fool, aren't they?” Olivia smiled slyly at the young Asian girl that she had become quite fond of over the past few years of them being friends. Indeed it seems that it was the most eagers ones to join the little group that were easily fooled. She could just see Lucy following along behind them like a little puppy, it was too perfect.

She watched Chun as she waited for her to answer her question, noticing how the young Asian girl seemed to go into a bit of a trance, she seemed to do that a lot lately, especially whenever Olivia was doing small things, such as twirling her hair. In a way, it made Olivia happy to see Chun fall into a trance about her. There was also the fact that there had been something that Olivia had been wanting to do for quite some time, but she wanted to wait a bit to see if Chuns infatuation for her would stay, and Olivia was glad that it was still there.“ Of course! Wouldn't want any unnecessary trouble for my lady. Allow me. If you could get the egg for me, I've got the perfect spell.” Olivia smirked and nodded lightly before bending down and gently picked up the chicken egg and held it before the small Asian girl. She trusted Chun to do the next part, and if done correctly Olivia would reward her greatly.

“Shall we see this little spell set to work to hatch our plan out perfectly,” she smirked lightly, gazing at Chun as if letting her know that she follow trusted her.

[CHUN CUAN AU-YONG]

She tried to rationalize the smile that was sent her way. Chun didn't want to fool herself with the impossible, not matter how much she dared to think of possibilities. She would be content with her position as an advisor, and wouldn't dare attempt to move beyond that. She reminded her of the pressure that it would likely place on everyone else if Olivia showed any preference beyond the simple, “two right-hand men” deal that was going on. She'd rather use the affection as extra backing on her dedication to the major goals of the dark knights. Extra dedication to the brunette's goals, the Chinese girl liked to think. Of course, nothing above that.

Though, if Olivia were to desire it... No, no, that sounded a little too hopeful in her mind. She tried to stuff the thoughts down to focus on the task at hand, realizing that the egg was now in front of her, held by her fellow slytherin's soft hands. She briefly glanced over at Olivia's eyes, recognizing the odd sort of look toward her. A warmth filled her at the idea that the other girl trusted her like it seemed. She didn't even think Dante looked at her like that. For a moment, the slytherin never felt a stronger urge to say something, feeling her face grow hot in embarrassment. Wait, egg, toad, needed to do something about that. She tried to find her voice. ”Y-y-yes, of course!”

She brought the toad forward, gently placing it on the egg. The toad still squirmed under her grasp, but she held it in such a way that it wouldn't escape her grasp. Finally, she brought her wand forward, swishing it just right with a small mutter. ”Adhaero.” After a moment of hesitation, she released her grasp from the toad. Though it struggled, it remained on top of the egg, firmly in place. The spell had worked. Chun didn't hide the relieving sigh.

[OLIVIA JASMINE MONTAGUE]

Olivia couldn’t help but smile as she watched the young chinese girl space out a bit before she finally realized what she was supposed to do. Chun was just so cute the way she did things like that and often Olivia felt that she wanted to take Chun as hers. “Y-y-yes, of course!” Olivia smirked again as she held the egg out for the young girl once more watching as Chun sat the toad on top of their egg, the egg that would harbor the monster they would unleash on the muggleborns and blood traitors to teach them all a lesson. “Adhaero.

[/i]” she heard Chun whisper the spell softly and watched as the now moving toad was stuck on the egg, unable to bounce around and get back to the wretched blood traitor.

Olivia took a step closer to Chun before she leaned down to the small chinese girls and softly she placed her lips upon hers, giving her a soft kiss before she took a step back. “You’ve done a wonderful job my dear Chun,[/color]” she whispered softly before she took the toad and the egg and brought it back to Sazalar Slytherin’s statue, swiftly she pulled out her wand and conjured a small nest for the egg and placed it in there before she flicked her wand once more causing flies to appear for the ugly toad to eat.

“Now come along my dear Chun, we must go find the Sanguni girl and tell her that she’s now accepted as one of us,[/color]” Olivia smirked lightly before she linked arms with Chun so that the two of them could walk out of the Chamber of Secrets together.

[CHUN CUAN AU-YONG]

She wasn't entirely sure what was happening when Olivia moved closer to her. Chun was ashamed to admit that at first she thought she had done something wrong. Punishment was something that she was used to, though not from Olivia typically. Because of this, the thought was banished as quickly as it passed. However, she couldn't help being more than a little confused, and had been about to voice her thoughts before feeling the fellow Slytherin's lips on her own. For a moment, the Chinese girl had forgotten to think-- or breathe really. Even as her dark lady stepped back, the slytherin merely stared back, mouth agape.

Honestly, she didn't mind it in the slightest. If Olivia wanted them to be something more than she certainly wasn't going to stop it. For a moment, Chun tried to reason the fact that not only would she have to explain this to her cousin at some point in time but her entire family, the slytherin could hardly care. If the kiss was any indication for future events, she would merely figure out the finer details later. Wait, she needed to speak. As Olivia pulled back, a smile perked up on her lips, feeling a small blush form. ”Um, thank you,” the Chinese girl muttered sheepishly, ”F-for both things... heh.”

Her smile had grown wider as her dark lady linked arms with her. ”Of course. I'm sure Sanguini would be happy to hear the news.” Her expression settled into a smirk as she walked with Olivia out. She liked where this was going.
