It's about....time. (Closed)

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco strolled into he leaky cauldron, not all to impressed to be there actually. He wasn't all too please to be in this country at all, he wanted to be back up north where he felt more useful, more needed. Here he just felt cooped up and trapped in an endless circle of meaningless nothing.

He grabbed a booth, not relly covered or hidden from anything, he felt a sense of protection and safety when he could see every section of the little whole in the wall, and every little space could see him. It was comforting and nice, given and circumstances of his arrival.

He didn't know why he was back in this no good place. But he had a pretty good idea, he was summoned to just make him sweat and twitch away in a corner somewhere, waiting. Waiting in hopes of being called upon by someone who could use him. He had all the money he would ever need so he didn't work, not legally anyway. He had no me to occupy his time unles he was doing The Dark Lord's bidding. And right now, he felt so unimportant and out of the loop that it was causing him to go slightly mad.

Draco scanned the dimmly lit pub and waited. This time literally, he was waiting for someone to arrive, odd for him to be early and them to be late. Then again, he had no where else to be, no one else to talk to really...

[Charlene Entreri]

How charlie hated her life now, nothing but paper work..tea with aunt minerva, dinner and lunch with the old cow week after week, dinner and business meetings with what auntie minerva deemed the "right people" , the right people were boreing.She was going to scream if she also had one more date with what aunt minerva deemed "the right men", she felt like casting a curse under the dinner table at them, she was so miserable.
So to escape the wearniess of her life she had sent the owl to draco hopeing he'd come. It was more then seeing him again,seh wanted his help on something important..and in return she'd help with anything he asked her to. After work and after making auntie think she had gone to bed early, she had cast her spell to make her hair red and doned her disguise of a common street walker. She sauntered into the leaky cauldron and scanned the room and spyed draco in his usal corner she saw, so she sauntered up to him and sat down in his lap."Hi ya blondie....hows about you pay for me for the night and we can have a little fun."she purred then whispered in his ear"It's me charlie, i had to do this disguise as auntie minerva has been sending people to watch me , to see if ive been behaving..as far as she knows im at home in bed with a head cold."

[Draco Malfoy]

Patience was not a strong suit of Draco's, many people knew that. Especially the one person who was meeting with him tonight. The only thing that kept him from not leaving was the fact that it was cold outside. And sure, he dressed for it, but all that time and energy he would have to put into putting it all back on was deterring him from leaving his cozy spot.

He was looking at the wall, leaning back against the back of his sat. The corner, back against the wall. As the saying goes, so you can see them coming.

Malfoy sighed and folded his arms against his chest and scanned the room once more before shutting his eyes in annoyance. Five more minutes and he was leaving, period.

Just as he had made the decision, he felt something plop down on his lap and his eyes shot open. Before he could say or think or do anything the culprit was whispering his ear. He smirked at her and raised his eye brows.

"I can't afford your expensive taste Charlie." He commented to her just before she had continued speaking. "If I remember correctly, Charlene, I have seen you with almost every color of hair but puke green." He laughed and moved his hands to her waist to move her off of his lap.

It's bad enough he had been waiting for over a half an hour but to have everyone know that he must have been waiting all that time for her bugged him.

"You should get up, unless you want to draw even more attention to yourself. Sure the hair may have changed but I'm sure many people aren't that daft and will make the connection on who you are and who you work for." He changed his facial expression to one of seriousness. "And meeting with me in a public place like this does not bode well for your line of work."

[Charlene Entreri]

Charlie laughed when he said he couldnt Afford her and sighed when he said that people might put two and two together and figure it out that it was her meeting him so she slid out his lap and then sat in her own chair. "Allright you've made you're point, do you think we should go some place else then?'she said in all seriousness."Because im not here to sleep with you, well..mayeb later, but for right now what i have to say to you is of most importance, well for me anyway."she continued this time with sad tone in her voice."The old cow took my son away this time for good, she wont tell me where he is or who he is with, blondie im go out my mind with worry for alec."she said in a very distressed tone."Please help me, ill do anything to repay you."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco leaned his body on the table, propped up with his elbows. His forearms were crossed over each other with his hands holding his elbows. He looked at her, head slightly to the side.

Malfoy truly did feel sorry for her but with everything going on in his head at the same time, he could not think for the lfe of him what he could do for her. Minerva was a pretty powerful lady and he wasn't sure he wanted to take her on, especially over family.

"Charlene, you know I would do practically anything for you but I'm not sure I can help with this one." He raised his eyebrows at her and straightened his head. He looked down for a second then back up at her. "I don't know if I can get your son back. I can help you hange your life to make her believe you've changed and that you are worthy by her standards to look after him but if your asking me to take him away or steal him or something, it's not going to happen." He sighed and knew she wouldn't like this so he decided to explain to her why he was hesitating.

"Your Aunt is a pretty powerful woman. She's also not stupid." He lifted one hand from his arm and ran it through his hair and placed it back. "There is no way she wouldn't have some sort of protection spell on him and she wouldn't throw me, or you in Azkaban if we tried to steal him? What's her problem anyway? Why does she think she needs to keep him away from you?"

He was confused by this, he thought Charlene was smart. She was the niece of Minerva, you would think that she would come up with the same ideas that she would have. Plus if Alec really wanted to be gone, why wouldn't he help himself? He wasn't an idiot either.

"I will do anything I can but bustingm out is not one of them so don't even think about it." He didn't want to get thrown in Azkaban. He loved her but not nearly enough to do that, no way.

[Charlene Entreri]

Charlie let out a heavy sigh."You're right draco, i hadn't thought this out, i should know better then to carry on head on...i think it best to go with your plan of outwitting the old cow on her playing feild, make her think ive really reformed and on the straight and narrow so i can get alec back and not have to be thrown into azkaban, im not going back in there ever again draco and neither are you if can i do anything about that."she said matter of factly."so how do i explain you then, if aunties spies go tattleing about, do we reform you as well?"she said with a small laugh."Make us both model citizens then draco with a white picket fence and two dogs and cat? and aunties problem is she allways thinks she knows best for everyone, shes been like that since i was little..i think thats what drove my mother away from her in the end..i really do."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco smiled at her when she spoke about reforming him. He shook his head and sighed, didn't she know yet. Nothing could change him. He was so set in his ways that no amount of persuation could get him to be someone else.

"You know that that will never happen." He raised his eyebrows and leaned back against the back of his chair. He began thinking of what life would be like if he was suddenly a good natured person, even if it was fake. He almost suddered at just the image in his head, he couldn't stand it.

"But I will help you get him back, the right way." He had to add that little bit at the end just so she knew what he meant. "If it takes trickery then I'll help you but I won't help you break him out just so that you can ran for he rest of your life." He said to her serously.

"I want you to get your son back and be happy. Besides, it's not like I have anything better to be doing right now anyway." told her, thinking he wished he was back to where no one knew where he was and alone.

Malfoy put his hands in his pockets and closed his eyes for a split second in thought.

[Charlene Entreri]

Charlie patted his hand."Look at who im talking to, as if anyone could reform you..pssh, i was stupid to think you could even fake it for a minute, it goes against who you are and why i seem to keep coming back to you no matter what anyone tells me."she let out a deep sigh. She nodded when he said he'd help her to get alec back the right way."allright draco, i get it.., you don't have to tell me again as i know you dont want to have to go to azkaban and i certainly don't want to pay another visit there either."she said softly to him. "I should have just left you alone draco and not dragged you into my hell, im no good for you draco..go before i drag you down too."she said as she got up from him and sighed again."I will do it your way though, be a model citizen and behave myself if thats what it takes , tell me what to do and i'll do it but i wont envolve you draco if thats what you want."she said softly as she kissed his cheek. "You are far to precious to me to see you miserable , after this is all over i'll pay for ticket to anywhere you want to go and ill leave you alone to be with yourself."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco looked at her a litt confused and sat up properly in his chair. He pulled it a little closer to himself after she had gotten up and kissed him on the cheek.

"Red, sit back down." He rolled his eyes at her. "Did I say that I didn't want to be involved in your life? Did I say that I wanted you to leave me alone or that I wanted to leave?" He looked at her very seriously.

"I didn't think so, therefore, I don't so can-it!" He pointed a fnger at her for a split second. "Now you either want my help or not, we wll figure out what happens when you successfully get what you want the way she wants you to get it." He said in a louder tone then before.

Soon Draco put his voice down to a little less than a normal talking voice. "If I go down because she discovers us or whatever, I know you're going down too, you're going to rot in that hell whole just like me. You decide how badly you want him back and whether its worth it for you to risk it."

Malfoy sat back in his chair again and shrugged as he did so. "It's your choice to do this or not, it's not mine. He's not my son, he's yours. I know that, as terrible as it sounds to you but I think Minerva will raise him just fine. He won't get into trouble and he won't end up like us. We are in a situation of looking overour shoulders everywhere we turn." Draco sighed and paused for a moment.

"I've lost a lot to this cause and honestly, most days I'm tired of fighting but I do it anyway because there is nothing else, no other option. If you want Alec to live a life that you do as well then you need to change as well, not just for your Aunt, but for him too. If you chnge, he wont have to run or be affraid or make stupid choices that get him thrown in azkaban or worse. He should be allowed to choose his path in his own way."

[Charlene Entreri]

Charlie sat back down as he called her red."allright blondie, speak your peice."she said as she listened to what he had to say to her.She nodded when he said if he went down for this then she would go down too."well duh blondie, i didnt think i would be any other way, at least if we do go down we can keep each other company."she said with a small smirk and then listened to him more.
She sighed when he said her aunt would raise him well and he wouldnt be raised having to be on the run or looking over his shoulder like they did."I hate it when you are right and you needn't look so smug."she said as she punched him on the shoulder."Ill go with whatver you say and do this for my son, ill change for him and do this for his well being, i want to be a mother he'll be proud of, and give him the choice to do with what he wants with his life when hes of age."she said softly."Only one thing though, i dont want to have you not be in life, auntie dislikes you, but i think since light of recent events she tolerates you more then some around, but speaking of you could you please get me out here and to some place else please?"

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco was glad to see tht she agreed with him about changing her spots for more than just her aunt. He slowly nodded when she asked for him to take her some place else.

"This place is pretty damn dirty and I'm sure they would probably be a little upset that i haven't bought anything yet." He told her as he looked over at the owner of the shop, glaring back at him.

Malfoy knew that the fun in this place had all dried up; among other things. "Where did you have in mind?" He asked her as he got to his feet slowly.
