|Another shake. "He will have to leave, in order to repay me. Too many people underestimate me because of my youth. I am a politician at heart, and Mr. Riddle will owe me. It will be a matter of...honor, if you will." He smiled shyly at Sarah, reaching up to let their hands touch. "It will be...all right, Ms. Ryans."|

|He looked at the shelves surrounding them, but did not remove his hand from Sarah's. "The scandal of finding two bodies in a supposedly 'safe' school...will frighten the public even more. It is what he wants, and that is what I will explain to him, even if he does not see it on his own. You will be put in a convenient and frequently-seen place, possibly with a message from Mr. Riddle himself." He turned, moving his hand. "But for now...for now, I still have to speak with him..eventually."|

"I trust you Jesse. And you can call me Sarah. We're friends, so there's no need to use my last name." She watched Becca leave and turned back to Jesse. "Don't worry about Becca. She doesn't trust easily."

Becca sighed, her back still to them. "I find one flaw. Where do we go after we are dead?"

"Perhaps we should inform the headmisstress or Caith? Someone who could help with that."

|"I do not mind. She is wise, in that way." He ran his fingers over the book in front of him, a small drop of blood dripping from his hand. The cuts, agitated by his movement, remained open. "You...may choose to stay here, though it would be neccessary for you to wear complicated glamours. Then..there is the other option of...: He hesitated, then shook his head. "No. It is more likely that you will choose the glamours. I will teach them to you, if you truly wish to go through with this. Otherwise, I will refuse Mr. Riddle's advances." There was an unspoken 'and I will die' that followed.|

|He glanced away and mumbled, quickly, "You know..about the Fidelius Charm, I hope...It would be slightly more risky at first, but...I promise you, I would make a trustworthy secretkeeper. Test me under Veritaserum, if you wish. But that...is my second offer."|

|He was slow to speak, hesitating between words. "The Fidelius Charm...is an immensely difficult warding spell. Supposedly, it is what the Potters were put under, so that Mr. Riddle could not find them. I can only say that their secret-keeper betrayed them horribly." He bowed his head. "One who is under the Fidelius Charm may remain hidden for as long as their secret-keeper is silent about their whereabouts."|

|"...Father knew him. All of the Dark Lord's supporters like to keep in touch. I believe his name was Pettigrew. I remember seeing him, once. A short man, balding, pudgy. Always frightened. Of course, that might have been because I was an absolute terror when I was seven." He chuckled, nervous.|

She laughed. "I'll bet. You probably had all the grown-ups running in circles." SHe laughed again., a sweet laugh that sounded like falling stars.
