Audrina Dawn Zabini was sitting in the Hog's Head, distaste and Firewhisky thick on her tongue. She hated this place, really she did, but she was sitting here anyways, waiting. Waiting for one of the very few people she had a sliver of respect for, and yet, he really did annoy her.
Her Head of House, b*stard that he was.
She tossed her hair back, and looked about the bar. Birty, dingy, filthy, disgusting... so many words for it. But it was one of the only places that served minors, anyhow, and so she appreciated it, but still, the distaste and the dislike was so heavy, it almost made her ill.
She ran her tongue around the rim of the cup, and stared out at the street. It was so hot... of course it was, it was the middle of summer. And she was tired, but she wouldn't sleep, not here, never here. It was far too dangerous for a girl like her to be here right now.
She raised her hand to signal the bartender for another Firewhisky, and licked the rim of her cup once more.

"You wanted to see me?" he asked as he suddenly sat down next to her. Right as he did so, the bartender set down the firewiskey.
"Oh, thank you," he said, and had it in hi shand and sipped at it before she could protest.
"I have limited time though, so... well, make it quick," he said after taking a long swig of the alcohol.
He was dressed as usual, in black with many random chains around his neck and rings on his fingers. His hair was black with some dark green in it, and it sat over his face, covering part of his left eye. He didn't lookall that amused, but Marvolo hardly ever did.
And then as always, Akakios paced slightly at his feet, clearly disgusted by the dirty floor, not wanting to lay down on it.

She tilted her head at him, a glare on her lips.
"That was *mine*, you jerk. And awww, you cared enough to come. Blaise said not to expect you to come at all. And you know Blaise," she smiled then, slightly maniacally, before returning to glaring. "He's always right."
She continued to glare at him, cherry-red lips pursed. The inky hair she had always prided herself on fell into those startling blue eyes, and she studied him critically for a moment.
"You make me ill, did you know that?"
She reached down, picked the cat up, and set him on the table. Marvolo could screw himself, Audrina liked his cat. As the cat continued to prowl around the table, she started to play with her lip ring, her worst habit.
"What's been going on then? I know something has, because both Blaise and Draco were wincing at dinner last night, but neither would tell me. So I resorted to you, because, despite my extreme dislike bordering on hate for you, I know you would at least be straight with me."
The bartender dropped another Firewhisky on the table, and without thinking, Audrina grabbed it, tossed it back, and slammed the cup down.
"So what's going on?"

Akakios hissed the first moment she picked him up, being slightly startled, knowing her small hands were not those of his friend, Marvolo. As she set him back down though, he calmed.
Akakios was also smart enough to notice the firewhiskey. He padded over to Marvolo's glass and took a sip, though a small one. He then returned to examine Audrina, the girl who'd lifted him unexpectedly. He sat and slowly his stubby tail moved back and forth. After a long minute, he decided he didn't mind her, and took a step nearer, giving an approving pur.
Marvolo watched Akakios with interest, surprised he took to her quite so easily. To each his own though. Finally, he turned his attention back to the girl, and had to take another swig of firewhiskey.
"I will be straight, in all I have to say is this: What honestly makes you think I'd tell you anything?" he asked with a scowl in his eyes.

"Good boy, yes, you're *very* pretty..." Audrina murmured to the cat softly.
She'd always liked cats. The were intelligent, clean, and could tell a good person from a bad one in about a second. Of course, her own cat was fat and from hell, but that was a different story.
She grabbed his glass out of his hand, and downed that one, too. Her high alcohol tolerance came from having more boys as friends then girls.
"Because you love me, quite frankly." She smiled up at him, her eyes mischevious.

"I actually do believe I'm feeling the very opposite, Ms. Zabini," he said, his voice forcibly calm. "1) You are actually wasting my time, 2) You're making VERY false assumptions, 3) You're thinking yourself more important and worthy than you truly are, and most importantly, 4) You just took my alcohol."
He leaned back in his chair and looked her in the eyes, his own piercing and fierce, naturally.
Akakios however, was enjoying himself in her company, and prodded her hand with his head, looking for a scratch. He wasn't ready to take no for an answer either.

"1) I am not wasting your time, I want answers, 2) no, I'm not, 3) oh, you wish I was less important and most important 4) that was payback! You drank mine in the first place! Order some more, you prat!"
She smiled at him blithely, and fluttered her eyeslashes, if only to make him angrier.
She scratched hte cat under his chin, taking in the happy purrs coming from the adorable little thing. She looked up at Marvolo. "What's his name?"

"You want answers that you haven't proven to me you're entitled to," Marvolo replied. "And I'm you're Head of House, did you ever consider how lucky you are to just be here drinking that?"
His eyes didn't lose any intensity whatsoever, but when he glanced at his friend, his cat, his expressions softened slightly.
"And his name is Akakios. It's greek, essentially meaning 'innocent' or 'not evil'," he said with a smirk. "Tell that to the little Devil though."

She bit her lip. "I'm entitled to those answers because this is my *cousin* we're talking about. He's my other half. And I know it's bad when he won't tell me something..." She trailed off, and shook her head. "Do you honestly think I care whether you're my Head of House or not? I've been drinking since before I could walk. It's so much a part of the Pureblood culture, that it almost doesn't mean anything anymore."
She smile did not waver. She'd grown up in situations like this, where one wrong move could end with her on the floor, unconcious, or, in worst case senarios, dead.
She laughed as she continued to pet the obviously happy cat. "He should meet my cat. Together, the two of them could probably take over the world. My cat is basically from hell. Frankly, she could give Lordymort a run for his money."
"So tell me then, what's going on?"

"Hah, thankfully Akakios knows much better than to cross the Dark Lord. However, given the chance, I don't doubt he'd be able to enslave all of us," he said on the subject of their cats.
"And thankfully I know much better than to say anything to you, still. If Blaise wont tell you, then there's obviously a reason. You'll have to deal with not knowing, or become a Death Eater yourself," Marvolo said, then stood, ready to leave if she didn't have anything else to bother him with. "Until then, I can't help you."

She giggled softly, and continued to run her fingers over the soft fur. "He really is lovely, you know."
Her eyes narrowed as he stood up, and she did something rather unexpected.
She grabbed him gy the lapels of his cloak, and stared him in the eyes.
"Don't make me beg. I need to know what's wrong with Blaise. Mother's in an asylum, and he's all I've got. You know that, you *ss, so stop being so high and mighty, and just tell me! And we both know I can't be a Death Eater."
"Please."

"By my standards, you're begging already," he commented coldly. "And still my position remains."
"But, if I DID tell you," he said, then in one smooth motion drew his wand and aimed it right at her forehead. "I would have to kill you. If you're really that desperate, tell me, and we'll move this somewhere else..."
Looking into her eyes, it was aparent he was serious. Glancing up at him, Akakios saw that, and had to step away from Audrina. No way he was going to be caught in the cross-fire.

She let out a soft snarl.
"I hate you. And besides. Begging isn't my style. I don't beg. Fine then. I guess I'll go find Kyleigh then, because I know she'll tell me."
She stood up, and swept the long midnight blue robes around, and she walked out of the bar, but not before tossing a look at Aberforth.
"He's paying my bill."

"Eh, she would, if she could," he said mysteriously with a smirk, at first.
Then, as he watched what she did next, his eyes darkened and his eyebrows went down in a deep glare.
"The fuck I am..."
He then stood up, and stormed out after her.
Akakios still sat on the table. He was stealthy. He used his paw and mouth to pull a couple galleons out of Marvolo's wallet, which he'd taken, left it on the table, and then followed them out, discreetly returning Marv his wallet.

She turned about and looked at him imperiously.
"Do you *want* something?" Her eyes darkened and she glared at him.
The cat wound about her ankles, and she looked down, surprised. "Hello there. You really like me, don't you?" She smiled down at him.
