Characters: Healer Crumplebottom, Jayne Dough/Pandora & Marietta Edgecombe
Setting: St. Mungo's, 9 November 2003, 11:25am
Rating: General Public
Summary: Marietta has plans to put someone under Imperius and ends up being assigned a mission by Pandora to prove her worth.

So the healer Zacharias had referred to turned out to be none other than Crumplebottom, a short, plump little fellow with a client list that would match up well with the recently deceased matchmaker's and then some. Though she wasn't Pureblood, Marietta was still considered 'special' enough that she could make herself one of his patients, not that this had been her plan necessarily. She had made herself an appointment for nothing in particular, just to get a feel for the man and his temperament, but also so that she could follow him after her appointment was done.

When he waved her goodbye and walked away down a hallway toward the back, she followed him as discretely as possible, making sure that anyone else who might see her thought that she was following him toward an exam room, though she wasn't really sure where he was going. She just wanted him to make himself scarce quickly so she could get this overwith already.

Finally he turned into a room and she followed quickly behind him, but what she found on the other side of the door was not Crumplebottom alone, but him and one of the last people Marietta wanted to see just then.

Marietta looked down. "If I had known that it was you, I wouldn't have-I apologise for my behaviour, Jayne. I will try to be more pleasant to you in the future." Whether she truly meant it or not wasn't entirely clear, but Marietta wasn't above being nice to someone she didn't like if it meant getting something out of it. She knew what she was meant to do.

"I can do it. Anything you require, Lady. I know I can!" Her voice was firm yet revering-anyone who had met Marietta had probably never heard her speak this way before to anyone, but of course they'd never seen her in front of the most powerful witch in their world, either.

She stepped back toward the assessment bed and sat down, crossing her legs regally.

"I have seen those journals so many of you are fond of using, and have noted that a young lady by the name of Lavender Brown has been gathering names of those who are 'suffering' from my beloved memories. If you were to get ahold of the list, I would be ever so pleased."

She smiled almost tenderly. "You do this, and when we next speak, I will explain to you exactly what it would entail to be in my service. It is not a decision to make lightly, my dear." Her face didn't change, but in the swiftness of a moment, her eyes turned hard. "Nor am I a person who takes lightly to being betrayed by someone whose quest for power superceded their self-preservation."

Marietta nodded vigorously when Pandora told her what she needed. She already began thinking of ways she could achieve this for Pandora. "I will get it for you," she replied simply. The plan would be easy enough, execution maybe a bit more difficult. She would need to spend a bit of time following Brown if she did not have a fireplace in her flat...

She listened carefully, taking in the information. "I don't make decisions haphazardly. I will consider it with the right amount of deliberation. And please, my Lady, you will not have to worry about my allegiance - I would never betray you for my own gain. I am not so stupid as to not know when someone is far more powerful than myself."

	"Very good, then." She pulled the wand from behind her ear and held it out, handle out, to Marietta. "Now, will you please fetch the healer for me? Jayne needs to finish this little formality so that we can continue with our plans for the day." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Marietta held out her hand and took her wand back, slightly amazed that she had actually got it back but still more amazed that she had met the woman from her dreams and was being given a chance to work for her. Better yet, she wasn't being murdered on the spot. Zacharias' annoying smugness had really just given her a gift she couldn't possibly ever repay him for; not that she'd ever tell him that, of course.

"Oh right, of course. I'm sorry for interrupting. He never mentioned having anymore appointments this morning. I'll send him back now." Marietta put her wand back in her pocket, feeling absolutely elated. Before leaving the room she said to the woman, "Thank you so much, my Lady. And good day, Jayne."

	"Good day," she replied, waching as the girl left. Then, with a heaving sigh, she relaxed and allowed Jayne back control of her body. "I still can't believe you did that." "She's quite... enthusiastic, don't you think? And quite a pretty thing. We will have much fun with her." "If you say so. I'll save my judgement for later. Bint..." (Reply to this) (Parent)
