Regimus Manor((Open to Slytherin Students yrs5,6,7

[Ezekiel Gage]

Zeke pondered the question, of course, silently having oggles Izzy (He's had a crush on her since god knows when, so the eye candy was appreciated).

He liked his lips after their discussion and said "Ok. So, first thing's first, you want me, having already been marked for death by the Dark Hand, to oppose and help destroy the only form of viable government in this side of the planet?" he looked at both of them for a moment.

"Sure, why the hell not. Ain't like I got enough people wanting to kill me." he grinned as they got into the hot tub, looking at Artemis. "Seriously, though, we have a problem with this. We have agents in Hogwarts just waiting for an uprising. And also, the leader of this Dark Hand, my father, is there as well. We'll need help. Minions or something."

He broke the subject for a moment, going to the here and now. "So, Izzy, I have a small question for you... what would you be willing to do for this cause? See, being a watcher, I've seen and heard so many things, I have ammo against everyone, including those closest to the top of the ladder." he lifted a hand out of the water, which the water began floating around his hand as he spoke. "We'll need to work from the mistakes of the past and bring this organization down to it's knees swiftly."

Being a neutral man, he was more or less joining out of intrigue.
Now, just to be a jackass, it was time to steal Artemis's thunder.

"Oh yeah, when we get back inside, I call first dance with Izzy." he said, grinning at Izzy with a friendly wink. He crushed on her, sure, but he also crushed on every good looking woman in the school. So, this was more or less a test to see how Artemis would react to his closest 'allies' taking his 'bounty'.

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella looked into Artemis eyes after he had looked into his. Eyes were the only thing that could possibly ever control Isabella. Especially if they were either blue or green eyes. Blue eyes though had been her all time favorite. “ Well we shall pick a weekend soon then.” She continued to speak. She followed Artemis out to the back with Ezekiel and listened to Artemis as he mentioned how he was staring at her tattoos on what they had ment. ”Oh I’m sorry if I had excused you of looking at my chest then.” She said and giggled softly finishing pulling her hair up. ”Well the snake tattoo that is across the bottom of my back and goes up the side well that is self explanatory I thought. I loved the idea of a snake tattoo like this Zombie himself designed it. There has been generations of Slytherins in my family and I can speak parselmouth too. That is the reason for that. She stated. Then she pointed to the beautiful disaster on her back. ”This one means well it’s a name of a song but, I loved it and what it had ment. I’ve had been in a few relationships where they had came out as beautiful disasters this one is something personal.” She asked Artemis curiously. ” Then hope means to believe, desire, trust, or something to look forward to with desire and reasonable confidence.” She explained to him.

She smiled at him as the three had gotten into the hot tub. It had been nice and warm it was very relaxing. She was happy the two had agreed to her idea and this was their new little group. “Well I am glad you both agree with me about the ministry. They need lots of changes. We’ll take them under our control, we just need to come up with a plan.” She told them. She looked at Ezekiel curiously when he mentioned the dark hand. “The dark hand?” She asked confused. She didn’t know anything about that. She obviously had been way out of the loop lately with what has been going on. She looked at Ezekiel wanting to know more details.

She sighed and rested her arms behind her looking at the too. This was the life she thought to herself. Looking at Ezekiel when he had mentioned the minions she laughed a little. ”Don’t worry I’ve been looking around for certain people to join as recruits. We need the best. We can’t screw this up or get caught. Because, We would be in big trouble. She told them. She glanced back at Artemis when Ezekiel asked her to dance when they had went back inside later. She looked back at Ezekiel ”I’m not I well okay. She said to him. She looked back at Artemis hoping he wouldn’t get mad but, Ezekiel asked her to dance first but, she was so crushing on Artemis right now.

[Artemis Regimus]

Artemis just stared right into her eyes, his Dark Blue eyes meeting hers. They went out into the hot tub, and he chuckled at how she jumped to conclusions quickly about him checking her out. Of course he was, but he was more fascinated with her tattoos. He was interested on the tattoos on her back the most. He listened to the meaning of them and nodded. "Very Interesting...As much as you look perfect already, I think they make you look even better." Artemis watched Izzy out of the corner of his eyes listening to Ezekiel talk about a dark hand, and how he agreed with Izzy. What Artemis didn't expect as Ezekiel to ask Izzy to dance. He kept his cool though and didn't want to lash out at him yet...but he would if it went to far. He wanted Izzy and he would get her. By force if need be. He looked over at Izzy the look in her eyes seeing that slight hint of wanting in her eyes. He wasn't mad, but he wanted her to himself. it was a Harmless dance though...nothing else.

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella new at some point there was going to be tension between the two boys with Izzy. She could feel the two crushing on her at the same time. Ugh she hated when these moments happened but, it was fun when two people liked you at the same time. She turned towards Artemis and smiled and looked into his eyes what was a girl to do with those gorgeous dark blue eyes, she blushed. ”Thanks.” She never thought she would get as many compliments as she has this evening. It was turning out to be a good one at that. Coming here tonight was turning out to be a good idea after all she already found her leaders with her hoping they would be trusting and not backstabbing. That was one thing she hated was a backstabber going around her back and doing something else. She had that happened to her many times and wasn’t going to let it happen this time. She was also glad that Artemis didn't get mad whenever Ezekiel asked Izzy to dance I mean it was harmless after all or so she thought.

[Artemis Regimus]

He never really broke eye contact with her, he decided now would be a good time to talk to her. He stood up and walked out of the hot tub. "Miss Gaunt, may I talk to you In private please? we can take a walk to the pitch." He held his hand out for her to help her out of the hot tub.

((sorry it's so short))

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella watched Artemis get out of the hot tub and wondered why he did. Her eyes followed his as he had gotten out of the hot tub. Then he had asked her if he could speak to her in private. Private? about what she had thought to herself. ”Sure.” Isabella had taken Artemis hand and walked out of the hot tub. She glanced over towards Ezekiel and told him that they would be back. Why would he want to talk to her in private she was so curious. Should she be worried? She asked herself shrugging that thought out of her head. She dried herself off with her wand and continued to walk down with him to the pitch holding his hand still. She glanced at him looking up at him in the eyes and blushed. As they had gotten further away she decided to ask him. ”So why did you want to talk to me in private?”

((Its okay))

[Artemis Regimus]

He walked with her away from the hot tub towards the pitch. He never let go of her hand, giving her a sense of secureness and a trusting in him. once they had reached the pitch he turned to her and finally spoke. "I wished to talk to you about your parents...you seemed nervous...upset when I had asked you earlier...do you wish to tell me why you were so nervous?" He looked in her eyes with a caring look, a look that he didn't give many people, and when he did give anyone that look, he really was being serious and caring. He had hoped she would feel secure enough to let him know the truth. He continued to hold her hand and look into her eyes waiting for a response.

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella looked at Artemis as he had stood in front of her and smiled not letting go of his hand. She felt comfortable around him with which ever reason why. Trusting someone had always been hard for Izzy but, she trusted him. Then the question came out that she knew was going to come out at some point this evening when the two had been alone. She might as well tell him because, the only other person that knew about this was Matthew and also her brother. ”You have to promise you won’t tell anyone there are only two other people that know. Well it was the beginning of the summer when my parents passed away and I was practicing the Fire curse and well it sort of lost control. It was an accident though I didn’t mean to do it on purpose.” She couldn’t believe she just had told Artemis that. She looked up at him and her eyes saddened and frowned. ”I killed my own parents.

[Artemis Regimus]

Once he had turned to her and asked what was wrong, she immediately spoke up asking him to promise not to tell. "I promise I will not say a word of what you say." Once she was sure he wouldn't she began to tell him the story of her practicing the fire curse. He listened to her voice quiver a bit as she said the last five words."I killed my own parents." He was abit shocked that someone as beautiful and from a long line of wizards and witches...would loose control. He held her hand still looking her in the eyes not breaking away from the stare

"I am so sorry that happened Isabella...I'm sure it must be hard for you...I can only imagine what that's like...but you have my word, I will not say anything to anyone..." He got abit closer to her in a comforting way and looked her dead center of her eyes. "I promise with my life." He had greater feelings for her at that point, more than a simple crush...or a lustful want...it was more, but he didn't want to say it. He wanted her, not just because of how she looked now...but because he could trust her, she could trust him...because they seemed to feel the same about a lot of things. "Is there anything else you want to tell me? If there isn't, we can head back to the Hot tub if you wish, or we can just walk around the yard a bit, your choice."

[Ezekiel Gage]

Zeke watched them leave for a moment. "Heh. Nailed it." he said quietly, seeing the look in Artemis's eyes. He hit the nail on the head. He got out, shaking the excess hot water off of him, and whistled to one of the House Elves. "Hey.. can I bother you for a towel, please?" he asked kindly. The House Elf nodded and came back in a flash with a towel. He wiped the water off of his brow and sighed. SO much had changed. He leaned against the wall by the door to the inside and took out a kind of trinket out of his pocket. He closed his eyes.
Mother... if you can hear me... I don't know what to do...

He remembered back in his second year, bumping into Bella (as she was known at the time) and clicking with her. They were good friends for a while, and even took a stab at dating, even though they really didn't feel more than growing respect and friendship towards each other. They ended the relationship mutually, and became very good friends, keeping in touch when they did other things. He had grown distant however, in the light of recent events, the attacks and the infiltration of the school... he didn't want to get her involved. She had her own stuff to deal with.

He sighed again and pocketed the pendant, having magically moved the clothed back onto his body.
"One dance... just to see how he'd react... just to see if he's worthy." he muttered, going in for a drink, waiting for his friends to return.

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella was relieved that he promised that he wouldn’t say anything to anyone. ”Thank you.” She said appreciating his word for her that he wouldn’t tell anyone. ”It’s okay, you don’t have to be sorry about it. It is a little hard to deal with and forgetting about, but I will be fine. Thank you for your word that means a lot to me.” Isabella smiled slightly. She felt him getting a little closer to her that’s when she had gotten a bit scared but, she had gotten closer to him as well and looked up into his eyes. Did he like her? She asked herself. I mean it certainly seemed like he did. ”Sure we could go back up.” She said taking his hand and walking back up towards the house with him. They had gotten there and she wondered where Ezekiel had went. She glanced over to the hot tub and he hadn’t been there. Where was he? Then she noticed him standing in the doorway grabbing her wand and changing back into her normal clothes. She looked back at Artemis and smiled as she still was holding his hand.

[Artemis Regimus]

He smiled at her and walked back up to the house with her. He never let go of her hand, untill they got to the house, he let her go, so she could go dance with Ezekiel. Artemis took his wand waving his clothes back on, and walking into his house. he was wearing a black button down long sleeve shirt, black dress pants, and a pair of black boots. He walked up into his room, sitting on his bed for a moment thinking for a bit about what to do now, on how to get Izzy for himself. He let Ezekiel and Izzy have there dance. He wasn't mad, because he knew he had a great chance to get her.

[Ezekiel Gage]

Zeke slightly narrowed his eyes for a second at Artemis. Smooth operator, huh? Perfect... he walked over, smiling. "So, you want to get this dance over with?" he said. "Then we could play Twister or something. Kidding." he said with a chuckle. He would reach out for her hand and grin, shooting Artemis a very condensending look.
He took her to the empty part of the floor and began dancing, looking at her like she was nuts.
"You know. I usually don't take first impressions very well about people, but yeah... he's getting on my nerves just a bit." he grinned. " You seem to like him though... you sure you're ready to enslave another subject of the male race?" he asked chuckling. They would dance for a while as he remembered what he promised her.

I'll always be around, kid.
How could he make such a foolish promise? He sighed and looked at her. The song was nearing it's end.

"Hey. How about you and me skip this place, eh?" he said. "Stick with me, kid. We'll go places."
He laughed a bit and shook his head. "I'm kidding. If you want this fella, I won't get in your way. Just know that if he hurts you... and mysteriously vanishes... I had nothing to do with it." The song would end, and he'd release her hands. "Well... go get 'em, Tiger."

[Isabella Gaunt]

Isabella looked at Artemis whenever he let go of her hand to let the two of them have their dance with each other. She smiled at him as she watched him go upstairs and let the two be. She looked back at Ezekiel and smiled at him as well. They had been really good friends ever since the two had been little and they had gone out either their second or third year. They had broken up on mutual terms. She laughed when he had mentioned twister. ”I remembered we played that what when we were like eight?” She asked him and laughed with him as he took her hand and they started dancing across the room. She remembered her parents parties when they had danced together when they were younger it had brought back so many memories. She danced with him and looked up at him and into his eyes and smiled. He had been a really good friend to her and she was glad to know someone like him.

”I can tell he’s getting on your nerves but, I do like him. I think I’m ready but, I’m not going to obviously rush into things right away like I’ve done with... with Adonis.” Isabella cringed at the name and hoping she would never have to see his face again. The song had almost been over already and she couldn’t believe it. Isabella wrapped her arms around her neck and smiled and did a little spin or two. ”Go places? What you mean like the tree house we built?” She said and giggled. ”I don’t think that would be such a good idea. Remember we both said it be better off if we were just friends? She told him looking at him curiously when he had mentioned to her about him not getting her way and if she wanted him but and if he would ever mysteriously disappear on her. She sighed at him. ”You gotta stop being so over protective sometimes. Your just like my brother” She said to him releasing his hand waiting for Artemis to come back down looking back at Ezekiel she smiled and gave him a hug and let go.

[Artemis Regimus]

Artemis listened for the song to be over, singing it to himself quietly. he had every song that he had in the house at least 40 times each, he knew them all by heart. The song had ended and he went downstairs again slowly. He went to the drink table and got himself another drink grabbing one and offering it to Isabella. "Would you like another drink?" He spoke to her as he sipped his drink. He looked at the looked on Ezekiels face, seeing the look of an over protective person, kind of a sneer and a glare towards Artemis. He was good at reading peoples facial and body features. He knew Ezekiel had a somewhat problem with Artemis being close to Isabella. "I hope you both are enjoying our little three person get together, heh...I had expected more to show up, ohh well...they have plenty of time to arrive, if they choose too. If not, oh well."
