"Do it." Artemis said, a certain conviction in her voice despite the nervousness that she was now feeling. It had been a long time since she had plotted to kill someone and she wasn't even sure if that's what was going to happen. She grabbed the butterbeer and took it back to the table and placed it in front of Grayson, "Sorry that took so long mate, You know how Xavier is. He just can't stop talking all the time."
Grayson laughed, "Don't worry. I completely understand." He took a few large swigs of the butter beer and smiled at them, naively trusting everything they said.

Xavier sat in his chair and fake smiled. "So we heading out after this round?" Xavier wanted to get this over and done with. He needed to do this quickly if he was going to do this at all.

Artemis downed the rest of her butterbeer and stood up, not waiting for Grayson to finish. Her palms were beginning to sweat, "We should go now. Before it gets too dark to walk back." She said and pulled Grayson to his feet, a little too forcefully.
Grayson stared at her for a long moment and then followed her out the door, "What's...." He stared blankly at the both of them, "What's going on here? What are you two up to?" He asked, his voice wavering at the end.
Artemis' heart lurched. He didnt deserve to die, the naive fool.

Xavier walked behind them both and when Grayson asked what they were up to Xavier replied."Oh nothing but we might have a surprise for you..." Xavier couldn't help but smirk, he truly was evil when his brain was on auto pilot. Xavier strolled he had desided that he would not think about what he was about to do.

It took a moment for Artemis to clear her head. A very long moment upon which she contemplated the repercussions of what she was about to attempt. Charity Anderson would be by far even more unhappy with her if she killed Grayson, but if Ron saw him as a threat, and she was in debt to Ron, then she was left with no choice. She planted her hand firmly on Grayson's arm and turned him so that they were walking toward the Shrieking Shack.
Grayson looked down at his arm and then at Artemis and then back to Xavier, "What are you guys talking about? What kind of surprise?" He asked, a slight panic evidenced in his voice, "Artemis....?" He was practically pleading with her now, but she kept her face low, void of any emotions.

Xavier marched toward the Shrieking Shack. He didn't want to talk to him. Xavier kept his face completely blank which he was useful emotions were bad, they were ammunition for your enemies and he had the potential for a lot of enemies. Xavier checked for his wand he knew it was there but it felt he needed to check. He held it and withdrew it slowly as they were nearing the shrieking shack.

Artemis' fingers touched her wand, feeling the power that was radiating from her pores. It was rare that she felt so in control and she assumed that it was the adrenaline rush that was pushing her to be the way. She pulled her wand and jerked Grayson's arm toward the Shack, pushing him inside. She closed the door and stared him down.
"Artemis...Xavier....Seriously, guys. This isn't funny anymore." Grayson said and looked back and forth between the two of them, "It was funny at first...You got me...Can we just go now?" His eyes were tracing the lines of the hardwood floor, as if he was looking for an escape, but he knew that there wouldn't be. There was no escape. He could run, but chances were one of the two of them would catch him.
Artemis glared, "Ask him anything Xavier. He's cornered." She said, jerking her head to the side, motioning for Grayson to follow her into the next room.

Xavier nodded as he went into the next room with Grayson and Artemis. "Ok Grayson..You wont remember this but...You tried to kill Charity Anderson! Now we're trying to find out why so we're going to start at the beginning...." Xavier walked toward him wand in hand. He was ready to get a little violent if fear wasn't enough to jog his memory. "So we heard some of your family died..How?" Xavier knew asking him why he tried to kill Charity would be useless.

"Murder." Grayson answered cooly. His eyebrows arched as he gaged their reaction. He had been doing so well playing dumb for a while that everyone had believed it. Bambi hadn't exactly wiped every memory clean, she only thought she had. Grayson had been playing along to gain the trust of those around him.
Artemis felt her mouth fall open slightly as she stared at him. He obviously knew more than he let on and he had been playing them this entire time. Which meant only one thing. She watched him pull his wand and point it at Xavier and before she knew what was happening she had dived in front of him. What had made her do it, she would never know.
"Avada Kedavra!" Grayson shouted. He realized his mistake too late as Artemis' body fell to the ground in a heap in front of him. Dead.

Xavier growled as he saw Artemis jump in front of him but he was too late to stop her as she fell down dead. Before he could think of anything else, He pulled up his wand and pointed it at Grayson. Xavier was thinking of all the things he could do to Gryson.Xavier thought for a moment and he shouted quickly. "Crucio!" Xavier was going to do more than kill him...He would make him squirm and make every second a living hell.

Instead of cringing, Grayson laughed at the torture spell. It felt like he was being stabbing a thousand times, burned by fire, and electrocuted all at the same time, and yet he couldn't stop laughing. She would be so proud of him. So very proud. He had followed her instructions down to the letter. Including killing Artemis. The more powerful that she got, the more powerful that he would get. It would only be a matter of time now.
Everything had been going according to plan. Now the trouble was getting away from Xavier and back to where she was waiting for Grayson.
"Stop. Stop please." He half begged through his laughter. He fell to his knees, facing the empty stares of the dead girl in front of him. He saw some of 'Artemis'' features beginning to shift and he knew that he had to get out before the Polyjuice potion began to wear off and she turned back into the insignificant beggar woman he had picked up off the side of the road and Imperiused.

Xavier narrowed his eyes. This wasn't going to go well but something seemed off. The laughter like he was getting something out of this. If he continued maybe Grayson would tell the truth however if he was getting something out of this then maybe they would continue to gain if he continued. Xavier raised an eyebrow as he stepped forward towards Grayson. "Why are you laughing? That was aimed for me and your laughing...Oh I'm enjoying this.."

Grayson growled as Xavier got closer to him. His eyes flitted down to "Artemis" and saw that her nose was beginning to hook. The potion would wear off completely any second now. He needed to get out of there before then. He only had twenty minutes before she would be expecting him with the news of how it had gone.
He stood up and managed to push Xavier away and stammered to the door. With a look back at Artemis' body, he apparated into the night.
Artemis' body finished it's transformation, leaving behind a beggar woman with a hooked nose and grey hair. Her blue eyes stared vacantly into the ground. It was not Artemis.

Xavier's eyes moved to Artemis's body or who he thought was Artemis and it dawned on him. He'd been played and he didn't like it! He didn't like it at all. Xavier looked at the body for a moment more and then to the position where Grayson was. Grayson had tried to kill him, Xavier was going to return the favour and this time he was going to do it right. He made a list of things to do find Ron, Find Charity or Grayson and from then on..it's fair game. Xavier left the Shrieking Shack. Whatever order he did the list..He'd do it right.
