Don't be nervous about your opening speech then, because that type of thing is what the students will want to hear.
Lizzie smiled and nodded, "Yeah, just wondering how many will even turn up." she said, still twiddling her hair. Some reason, it was a subconscience thing that she did around Evan, without realising it. She sighed as she drew out a small calender. Quickly flipping to the date, she checked the date and the time she had left until September. A owl fluttered through the window, and landed itself on the windowsill. Lizzie glanced at the window, and noticed the snowy owl that had perched itself there, she shallowed slightly as she knew it. Slowly getting up and walking over to it, she took the letter that was in it's beak, "Hello Sull," she muttered to the owl as she stroked it. She broke the seal with both hands on the envelope and quickly opened it. While she scanned the letter, she slowly stroked the owl with her free hand. She sighed and stashed the letter into her pocket once she was finished with it. Drawing out her wand, Lizzie flicked it and a cage appeared beside her, full of food and water. Sull flew over and landed onto the cage and Lizzie returned to her seat as she glanced at the owl gulping down the water. The letter contained words of warning, like it always did, and it made her suspicious and less able to trust when she read them. She wondered how she was going to be sure that the Professors in the school weren't combined with the Dark Lord, but she knew that she had no way of knowing. Just keep an eye on them. she told herself as she bite the inside of her lip, to make this gesture discreet in it's ways.
((OOC: LOL, does seem likely, doesn't it? Mmm come to think of it, she seemed VERY upset at his death, lol. Lol, she's suspicious but won't think of Evan, lol.))

"I think a good few will turn up once they see that it's either here or some place like Durmstrang," commented Evan. Personally, he wished he had gone to Durmstrang since he would've had a much better background in the dark arts had he attended there.
Evan became curious towards the message that Lizzie received and wondered what it was about. His face wore a casual expression however when he asked, "Your owl I suppose?" He didn't want to be too forward and ask directly what the message was.
((Good for Evan then, lol. I just made Jack's sig... but I won't be able to make a profile until tonight. Yes, McGonnagal was quite upset...))

Lizzie nodded in agreement, "Yeah," she said in thought, she glanced back up and continued, "But a 'good few' also go into hiding from the overpopulating community of D.Es." she said, short forming 'Death Eater' to 'D.E.' as she couldn't be bothered to waste her breathe saying it in the full form. "And after the DE attack that happened the last time, less are willing to put their trust into the defenses of Hogwarts." she added.
She glanced around the bare room, the shivers creased to run down her spine now. Lizzie glanced back to Evan as he spoke more once, then she gave a backward glance to the owl that was perched on the cage. She shook her head, "Nah, that's Sull." she said, knowing it wouldn't make too much sense to him, she added, "He's a... 'Family owl', should I call it. He's always delivering notes to me so I just brought him a cage." she said grinning. The last words of the letter contained the usual, 'Do not repeat this message to anyone'. So she figured it was best not too, even though she trusted Evan. Lizzie noted how his face always seemed casual and cool, never fustrated nor angry, Nor wimpy... she told herself, grinning.
[[OOC: Lol, yup. Okay, look forward to seeing this. Any idea on what he's going to do? Lol, she was =P You could shrug it off as just tears for her boss, a well respected man (who everyone thought was great! Minus evil people) and the fact that she too trusted Severus, remotely. But... it seemed a little more then normal, lol.]]

"I would never hide from a Death Eater," said Evan thoughtfully. It looked as though he was thinking hard about his following statement, but he was merely trying to figure out what would be his next best lie. "You never gain anything by hiding obviously; a lot of people lose theirselves in that direction of thought since they're constantly worried about death eaters attacking." Oh well, that was good enough. Not every statement needs to have poetic charm.
Evan nodded about her explanation to the owl and didn't press the matter; Lizzie's trust was something that he needed. Pressuring her into giving him an explanation of the letter would not be an intelligent move. As she smiled, Evan noticed that it was a pretty one, however this thought didn't penetrate into the deeper parts of his mind. He had a lot more things to think about than Lizzie's smile.
((It's not great, lol. I just started making sigs for the heck of it since I got bored and started playing around with the little graphics thing my brother installed... Yeah McGonnagal is definitely gonna be a sad woman in the seventh film without her secret lover))

Lizzie nodded in agreement, "Yeah, if you waste your lives running and living in fear then I'd rather fight and die to protect someone I love." she said as her wimpy self began to vanish from inside her. Lizzie knew that Evan wasn't an Order member nor in the Ministry and she wondered what he did before he applied for this job but she didn't ask him as she felt that it would be rather rude. She remembered how he'd basically ignore her in their childhood and wondered what on earth he was talking to her for now. Yes, they were working together but he didn't have to be so polite and yet charming to her. Lizzie, however, didn't mind this one bit. In fact she encouraged it with the subtle flutter of her eyelashes and flirty smile. Being not much of a flirter, she didn't have the words for it but she used her looks to gain it.
((OOC: Lol I do that, except I download the software and my brother thinks it's a waste of time (probably cause he sucks, lol. Actually I dunno, he might be good cause he's good at art and comps..).. Anyway, yeah she's going to be heartbroken!! And it will all come out =P lol. DUMBLEDORE'S SERCET LOVER!! Will be stamped on the Daily Prophet by Rita Skeeter.))

Evan could see clearly now that she was trying to be flirtatious. It was a complete surprise to him since he had never expected to have Lizzie like him that much. He was just trying to lie and compliment her for the sake of his mission with the Dark Lord. And now he had no idea how to react. I probably should go along with it... But nothing more than smiling is going to happen, he thought to himself as he tried to imagine what the Dark Lord would want him to do.
Yeah, if you waste your lives running and living in fear then I'd rather fight and die to protect someone I love.
Evan smirked at this as he couldn't think of anyone he actually loved. He hated his family dearly and would never protect them. "And I'm presuming that you're talking about family with the protection matter. I wouldn't be too deep with that though. My family and I... don't exactly see eye to eye," he said honestly. A bit of honesty never hurt. That way I can be more believable in her eyes.

Lizzie sighed slightly, he reminded her of her sister. Her sister, however, was rather evil and just plain stupid. Yet Lizzie did feel like she should protect her, even though she was merely 2 minutes older then her. Lizzie shrugged, "Anyone." she said as she thought that it involved him to but clearly wasn't going to say it, "Right now, I'm protecting the children" she added. "My mother and father.. well let's just say that I don't really get to see them anymore." as she could never bring herself to say the truth about her father and she hated what he did to her mother, which was that he killed her. "And my sister is a nuisance, but yes, I guess I would protect her. Though, don't tell her that." she added quickly as she knew that her sister would cause a lot more trouble if she did. Lizzie didn't mind protecting her sister, as long as her sister didn't go around killing people and wasn't a death eater.
((OOC: Riley! You distracted me again, lol. Anyway, back to putting boards up. I got to 3 before you PMed me, lol))

I would never protect Jack. Ever. In my entire life. No. Absolutely not. Stupid bloke. "I won't tell her then," grinned Evan. "Oh yes, I forgot about the children. You'll definitely want to protect them then... not like some of the other Professors in the past." Evan thought about Professor Umbridge on this since he had read a newspaper article on her lousy teaching. Even if he was going to try and turn his students evil, he wouldn't stop teaching them. Not allowing students to practice spells would just be boring frankly. "As far as family, I barely see my father. My mother's moved away and Jack is well... he's Jack."
((Gosh, it's not my fault you're distracted easily. Hey, I suppose you could know Jack since he was in Gryffindor and around your age? You guys could be friends which might make Evan jealous eventually...))

Lizzie arched an eyebrow, "How could you forget about the children?" she asked suspiciously. Then she grinned, as though she was just joking, "I agree, it's kind of silent here so they're easily forgotten." she added jokingly. "Won't you want to protect them to?" she asked as she thought that he was referring to Professor Snape when he said that or about that Umbridge woman. Lizzie reminded herself as she remembered that woman who drived her crazy on numerous occasions. Lizzie laughed, "Oh yes, Jack. I'm surprised you two didn't get along, he's lovely." she said as she remembered him. They were pretty good friends, "wow, I miss him. How is he?" she asked enthusiastically. [[OOC: Lol, yeah it is Oooh hopefully! Lizzie would be glad This girl wouldn't of been a Gryffindor though (according to Evan, who would think she's a wimp) but she has to be rather brave cause she's defying Death Eaters for children]]

"Oh, of course. I'm the DADA professor; if I don't protect them, who will?" he asked with a laugh. That was a lie.. I'm never protecting those rotten little twerps. Except maybe the ones that show some promise for the future. Death Eater promise.
Oh yes, Jack. I'm surprised you two didn't get along, he's lovely. Wow, I miss him. How is he?
Lovely? She's got to be kidding. Who would honestly think of him as lovely? "I wouldn't say he's lovely..." started Evan, before realizing he sounded like a jealous little kid. "I don't really know how he is. We don't exactly see each other often, but he is an auror." I wouldn't be surprised if she was suddenly fascinated by him being an auror, he thought.
((Yeah, I suppose Lizzie would be quite glad. Are you gonna add Jack to my custom title thing on this account?))

Lizzie glanced up in approval, "Auror?" she asked with respect in her voice. She dismissed the protection statement that he made and didn't dwell on it for long as she started to think about Jack. Lizzie laughed softly, "He really is lovely. Well I better hope you do see him, just so I can" she added grinning. She didn't even notice the hint of jealously that was present in Evan's voice as he said that. She was rather fascinated by Jack and really wanted to meet him again, it had been a while since their last meeting.
[[OMG! Sorry!! Totally flew out of my mind =P lol. *sobs as Riley snaps at her again*]]

Quit saying he's lovely, thought Evan angrily. He hated when conversations moved over to his brother Jack, since they often did. He heard the respect in her voice when she mentioned him being an Auror, and he frowned. I could've been an Auor if I wanted too... But my mission is here at Hogwarts. "He'll probably show up at the school sometime," shrugged Evan. "So you'll most likely see him again," he spoke with a tad of bitterness added into his voice.
((*Cough* Emotionally unstable! *Cough* You should add that he's an Order member in the profile too... Lol. Maybe I should have Jack come visit Lizzie in her office and have Evan walk in and be a bit pissed.))

Lizzie, being rather dull and not very observent, didn't notice the anger in Evan's voice. She laughed gently, "Oh I hope so. I really miss him." she added, as she didn't note the bitterness that his tone produced. She leaned back in her seat as she became much more relaxed now that she thought of Evan as Jack's brother, instead of the Evan that she always had a minor crush, that grew, on.
[[YEAH YEAH YEAH!! Sorry... Just happy for Lizzie =P lol. Ok, I'll add it on. Just checking, posted in your plot page asking that =P wasn't sure]]

Can you not see that I don't want to talk about Jack? thought Evan angrily. His face showed a bit of the jealousy, but not too much. He heaved another sigh to calm himself down and formed his face to a friendlier expression. "Oh, well that's nice," he lied. "You two should have a lot of things to catch up on," he added to his lie. The bitterness in his voice was less noticable now, since he was hiding it much better after a brief lapse of concentration.
((I created the thread with Jack in your office))

Lizzie suddenly noticed that Evan was saying a little less then normal, she recovered from her amusement and simply nodded at his comment. As she decided it was probably the fact that he still clearly disliked Jack so he probably wouldn't want to talk about him. "So... what have you been doing since you left?" she asked moving the topic on, she was indicating since he left Hogwarts and was about to say something about Jack but refrained herself from it.
[[Ok! This will get interesting, lol. She'll probably be more flirty to Jack, without realising it cause she's more comfortable with him.]]
