Myrtles Bathroom

[Draco Malfoy]

Moaning Myrtle's Bath. The room is candle-lit, but the candles are in holders rather than a chandelier and there are not enough of them to light the room properly.

The sinks, which form a row under a large cracked and spotted mirror, have copper taps, one of which has a tiny snake scratched on the side. Apparently that particular tap is a complete dud when considered as part of the plumbing; it serves another function. In fact, if given the proper password, that particular tap will glow and spin briefly before the entire sink drops down out of sight to expose the large pipe leading to the Chamber of Secrets (CS9, (CS16).

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco shook his head as the ghost girl went on about all of the people coming to her toilets now that the Death Eaters had shown.

"I'm sure it'll die down soon Myrtle," he said in his most sypathetic tone.

"It won't! It won't! It won't I tell you!!" the ghost girl insisted shaking her fists. "They'll keep coming and coming and messing up my toilets!!"

Draco sighed "It can't be that bad."

"But it is!! Why oh why won't you believe me!!" she pouted floating over to the corner of the broken stall and crossing her arms over her chest.

The boy held up two hands in surrender "Fine, I believe you."

[Amycus Carrow]

"Oh," drawled a painfully familiar voice from the doorway. "I'm sure it'll be stopping *real* soon."

Amycus's tall, lean form leaned idly against the door jam, leaving Alecto the other side of the entrance, the male twin looking entirely relaxed with his arms folded over his chest and head resting against the wood as he watched the exchange between ghost and boy, a small, highly amused smirk curling on his lips.

"Looky here Ally... I think we've finally figured out where your pet has been vanishing off to so often... now I admit, Draco, I'm a deviant kind of guy but even I've never gone so far as to try it out with a ghost... I really can't decide if I'm impressed, amused or a little worried about you sweet boy."

[Alecto Carrow]

"Oh goody," Alecto replied with a grin. "I was worried he was hiding under his Aunts skirt… or his Father's skirt…"

The woman slipped into the room her gaze flicking over the scene and the tense boy who was turning slowly towards them. "Hi there Pet… just in time to play…"

[Draco Malfoy]

The voices sent shivers through him but he was careful not to show it.

"Get OUT of my Toilets!!!!!" Myrtle yelled, barreling through and past Draco towards the twins.

For his part, the boy only turned and watched then, refusing to show them how nervous he was right now.

[Amycus Carrow]

"No room under Bella's skirt, Lucius is already there," Amycus laughed, dark eyes glittering as the shrieking ghost lunged towards them, his wand almost moving lazily as he froze her in mid air with a non-verbal spell.

Making a tisking noise he flicked the tip up, slowly drawing her towards him so that he could meet her eyes with his own sadistic, laughing orbs.

"Honestly Draco, you should train your toys better... you'd almost think she didn't know who she was talking to..." the man pondered, tone fasely pleasant. "Or that as Deputy Heads of the school we had the power to banish her from her precious toliets at any given moment... Or that there are ways to cause pain even to ghosts..."

[Alecto Carrow]

"Not to mention she's interrupting a private conversation," Alecto added moving forward, before looking at her brother with a mock pout "I do believe, dear Brother, that I'm offended. Young Draco is trying to sick the dead girl on us like we can't kill her again…"

Alecto's amused gaze turned to the Slytheirn boy "That's not well done of him… first his useless Father, then his idiotic Aunt, now his neurotic ghost…"

[Draco Malfoy]

As usual Draco remained silent he knew no matter what this wouldn't go well, no use in speeding thing up.

[Amycus Carrow]

Flicking his wand, Amycus send the ghost into a lazy spin jsut for the hell of it, his gaze shifting back to the stony faced blonde as he flashed him a vicious grin.

"Tell us, Precious thing... how much does this ghost mean to you I wonder?" he mused eyebrow quirking up. "Nothing at all? Or is she... something? Because if she's nothing I don't see any other reason to keep her around, do you Sweet Sis?"

[Alecto Carrow]

"If she's something i don't see any use in keeping her around," Alecto replied looking boredly at her nails.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Then I suppose it doesn't matter either way," Draco responded keeping his tone bored and face passive.

[Amycus Carrow]

"Now now, Ally," Amycus scolded his sister lightly, head turning to offer her a small grin. "You should always let your pets have toys sweet sister. That way you don't have to deal with them getting bored and humping the furniture. You know how teenage boys are. Besides- " his eyes flickered back to Draco. "I want to know how far he'd go to keep this one safe..."

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco sighed and rolled his eyes, he didn't turn away but he was tempted to. He felt bad for Myrtle and he'd have to make it up to her somehow, but the Carrows were going to do what they were going to do and if he played along it would just be worse. Besides she was already dead anyway...

[Amycus Carrow]

"Nothing...?" Amycus mused, head tilting as he watched the blonde a moment. "Well that is boring... oh well. Time to clean up the school a little."

Turning back to Myrtle, he flashed her frozen face a toothy grin.

"Time for you to move on to the next world precious. Don't worry though - it's going to hurt like hell. Forcing a banishment is really quite excruciating - like dying horribly for the second time I'm told." He paused there to give her a single flirty wink. "And just take a minute to really appreciate your 'friend' over there - one little word from him and you'd be able to stay. Such a same he doesn't care, but then, you are just a pathetic little ghost after all. You were never even meant to be here."

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto watched the boy, noticing his hands clench into fists… she had a feeling this was about to get interesting.

[Draco Malfoy]

"Fine," the blond hissed in an agitated tone, his hands clenched "What do you want?"

[Amycus Carrow]

For all intents and purposes, Amycus seemed to be ignoring the other occupants of the room now as he twirled his wand the translucent girl unfreezing in an moment and in the next her body arching up and her head falling back as an inhumane shriek of agony that seemed to resonate through the air vibrating down to their very bones as eerie blue light broke up from the ground to sorrund her.

[Draco Malfoy]

Quickly pulling his own wand the blond banished her from the bathroom. Something that only worked on her because she was a ghost. Myrtle was thrown from the room in a blur disappearing through the wall.

[Alecto Carrow]

Alecto laughed at this and looked at the boy "Uh-oh, shouldn't have done that… Amycus was not done playing… now that she's gone… well, who does that leave to play with?"

[Amycus Carrow]

In all honesty Amycus hadn't been intending to finish the spell, not now that the boy had cracked he was just teasing him a little. A few more seconds and he would have lessed it to toy with him a bit, tease out some agreements from him for keeping the silly little dead chit around.

But then the brat interfered.

Big mistake.

Whipping around with a snarl, as the ghost was blasted from his spell, the Death Eater waisted no time in lashing out at the blonde boy the bloody red of a reducto exploding from his wand tip towards the teenager.

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco threw up a shield quickly, but while it stopped him from hurting him full out it did knock him back into the wall. The boy gave a grunt but stood quickly only with a slight stumble.

[Amycus Carrow]

A low, dangerous peal of laughter left the madman's throat as he started to advance, hungry eyes locked on Draco's form, teeth displayed in a wide, sinister grin.

"Oh Draco... you shouldn't have done that. I was being resonable before," he purred, eyes glinting. "Now I'm all.... frustrated with you. And I do so hate being frustrated."

His arm lashed out again as quick as a flash two non-verbal spells shot towards him one a white flash (the nasty stinging charm he favoured) and the other a crescent of red (a deep cutting charm).

"Now *how* am I going to work this frustration out then, pet?"

[Draco Malfoy]

The boy moved quickly ducking into one of the stalls and slamming the door shut, before throwing up a few shields as he leaned against it. It wouldn't last long, he was just buying himself time- but what else was he supposed to do?

[Amycus Carrow]

Laughter echoed around the room, before a small, singsong chant started, the noise bouncing off the tiled walls to echo around them.

"Goosey goosey gander whither do you wander?"

A loud blast followed the line of the nursery rhyme as Amycus levelled another blasting curse at the shield, simply using brute force to buckle it as he poured his will and energy into the spell. UNseen to the youth a manic grin was plastered over his face as his sister laughed and watched, content to let him play.

"Up stairs and down stairs and in my lady's chamber!"

A second blast, the shield was starting to crack now as the raw, volitile magic battered it.

"There I met a young man that wouldn't-" BLAST - "say his" - BLAST - "prayers!"

[Draco Malfoy]

Draco could feel the magic exerted to keep up the shield draining quite quickly. Damn the anti-apperation charms in this stupid school. He could feel his shield cracking and tried throwing up another to re-enforce it, sweat gathered at and trickled down his brow.

[Amycus Carrow]

"So I took him" BLAST "by the left leg" BLAST "and threw him" BLAST!

Finally the reinforced shield crumbled under the violent lash of what was half spell and half raw magic thrown at it, the door to the cubicle blasting back to slam and crack against the wall as the leering form of the dark wizard was exposed, eyes flashing with delight teeth pulled in that shark like grin, though this time, he had scented blood and the frenzy was starting to take over.

"...down the stairs," he finished with a purr, wand twirling ominously as he waited for the boy to try an attack, lazily stepping into the shattered cubicle. "Are you praying Dray-co~?"

[Draco Malfoy]

When the shield broke he wasn't able to get another up, not in time enough to stop some of the splinters of wood from hitting him. The boy threw up his arm, causing his robe to fall back and small shards impaled the pale flesh there causing blood to seep through the gray of his sweater as he hit the wall. Landing painfully on the broken toilet the boy looked up, his hair mussed his face covered in sweat and scratched. He continue to hold his wand but did not shoot a spell back, he wasn't stupid enough to try to duel a mentally unstable fully grown death eater.

[Amycus Carrow]

A low giggle left his throat as he took another step fowards, head tilting to let his half lidded eyes fall on the boy, wand hand reaching out to slowly drag his wand along the boys throat to under his chin and jerk her head back.

"What? No more teeth, Dray-co?" he crooned voice silken over the blonde's skin. "And just when I was starting to like you..."

[Draco Malfoy]

"As if you'd ever like me," Draco scoffed softly a small exhausted sigh leaving him as he looked up at the man waiting to see what he'd do next.

[Amycus Carrow]

White teeth flashed in a grin before the Death Eater bent over abruptly, his free hand coming up to cup the boy's face as his own pressed against its side, laughter still bubbling in his throat.

"Oh sweet sweet boy," he purred. "Is that what you want? For me to like you?"
