A/N: Sorry it took so long in posting the last three chapters. I was having problems with my internet service.

First Meeting, First Task

Cynthia looked about Grimmauld and noticed that Severus wasn't in the room. This was her first Order Meeting ever. She had met many people. Tonks being one of them. She had gotten along with the Metamorphmagus, whom was her age. She found her to be very funny and a unique person. It felt as if they had known each other their whole lives. She also enjoyed to see her interaction with Remus. They seemed to bicker so much and yet she could see that they truly liked each other. It was like watching Beatrice and Bennedick go at it. Under all the bickering you could see their frinedship. And as she once heard someone say 'Love is a friendship cought on fire'.

She had of course gotten along well with Remus. She enjoyed his company and knew that he would be a good friend to have. She could still smell his sorrow lingering in the air, yet she admired the fact that he seemed so mild. His smile looking so sincere. His soft chuckle so .... pleasing to hear. All in all he was a very nice fellow, one she enjoyed the company of. One that she knew that she could easily fall for, having fallen for men like him before. And he wasn't bad looking either. He had a charming smile, a young but jaded face and wonderful golden eyes. He had many qualities that would send any woman Head over heels for him. And it of course made her wonder why he spent his days alone.

She shook her head and turned her attention to the auror that was reporting something or other. Soon the door opened and a figure dressed in not but black stepped into the room. He held a mahogany mask in his hands and he looked around the room. Cynthia looked at Severus and knew that by his clothing that he had just come from a Death Eaters meeting. He looked so tired to her. As if his whole body ached and he wished nothing more than to fall on a bed and go to sleep.

His eyes soon landed on hers and when she cought his eyes he imediately looked away. As if he had stared directly into the sun and it had pained him to look. She frowned at this obsevation she had just made and wondered if anything was bothering the Potions Master. She recalled that realier that day he had seemed somewhat sour. Although when she had seen him walking with the astronomy teacher, walking towards Remus and herself, he had seemed to be quite well. She would almost go as far as to say that he was trying not to smile. She wondered if she was the reason he suddenly had become sour.

She shrugged it off telling herself that it was the fact that he had just had to see the Dark Lord that he looked so tired and jaded. Everyone in the room was staring at him. Dumbledore had turned to look at his spy. "Severus, glad you have joined us. Are you all right?" Dumbledore said. Severus looked at him and merely noded. He did not seem well at all and he did not feel well, but he lied anyway. "Would you like to give your report now or later?" Dumbledore asked.

"Later," the Potions Master responded curtly. Dumbledore noded and Severus walked in and took a seat. He sat down in back near the shadows. Dumbledore than sat down and told the auoror to continue with their story. Cynthia tried to pay attention the best she could but her mind kept wandering to the spy. She wondered if perhaps he was angry with her. But he had no reason to be angry with her. She hadn't done anything to him. Or at least she couldn't think of anything that she had done that could possibly have made him angry.

She turned her attention to the person sitting beside her. Tonks was currently whispering something in Remus' ear which caused a genuine smile to come over his face. She smiled at them. She thought that they where so cute. She wondered why they weren't together. Where they both that blind that they could not see their attraction towards each other? She turned her attention to the person now speaking. It was Aurthur Weasley. No doubt he was just going to report on what Fudge was doing.

Soon enough Severus had to stand up and stand before the whole order. "Well I'd like to say that it was a normal meeting and that all the orders given out where the same as always but this time his inner circle was given new orders. There is an underground club where witches and wizards gather in. Described as a dodgy place in a dogy part of muggle London. All the members of his inner circle are to go into the club tonight and to come out of it with at least one recruit member. Besides that Bellatrix Lestrange and Lucius where both given different orders. Apparently the Dark Lord has found out that someone rather important will be attending the club tonight and the job of Lucius and Bellatrix is to kidnap the said person," Severus resported in his neutral tone. His gaze looked through the crowd and watched their reactions many of them stayed neutral. However, Cynthia seemed to be thinking. "This person's father is influential to the world of magic. The Dark Lord wants the alliance of these people and he has tried to get it through barganing terms and he could not do it that way so now he will be doing it the hard way."

"Severus do you know who it is that he is kidnapping?" Dumbledore asked.

"No I do not. There is only two people who know of what the Dark lord is planing at this point and that is Bellatrix and Lucius. Neither one are willing to give up the name or information to any of the other Death Eaters," Severus responded. "I do believe, however, that it is the Prince of the Goblins. The Dark Lord wishes the allegiance of Goblins and the Goblin King is not one that will give his allegiance to anyone willingly. However I have never seen the Goblin Prince and I do not know what it is to look for."

"Well we have work to do don't we?" Dumbledore said standing up. Severus stepped aside as Dumbledore stood before the Order. "Severus you have to go to the club anyway so I'll just have you do your Job. Remus Cynthia," They both looked up at the professor. "You will both be in the club as well. Since both of your sences are still sharper because of the moon I would like you to find the Goblin Prince. And I'm sure both of you are familiar with Lucius scent. As for the rest of the Aurors I would like you to get all the aurors possible and raid the club." Dumbledore instructed. "Well I think that is all," he said. Everyone started to get up and move around. Remus walked up to Cynthia.

"Do you know where the club is?" Remus asked.

"I know of a club very much like this one, but I do not know if it is the same club," she responded looking at him. Tonks was standing next to them. "Perhaps we should ask Severus." The three than walked over to Severus.

"Severus where is this club?" Tonks asked. He turned to look at Tonks.

"Its name is Club Dread-" he started.

"I know where that club is. It's like a block from where I live," she said. Everyone turned to look at her.

"So you know where it is?" asked Remus turning to look at her. She noded in response.

"Well since one of you is aquainted with where it is," Severus said rubbing the bridge of his nose. He seemed very tired and slightly irritated. "You could all go together and there is no more need to have further contact with me tonight. I guess I will see all of you at the club tonigh, but please do not adress me while there," he continued. He than turned on his heel and left the kitchen. The other three just looked at each other.

"I guess we'll just meet up at your house in an hour and leave from there?" Remus suggested. They all noded in agreement.

"I suggest you where thinhs that are dark. Like black clothes. It's kinda a goth club," Cynthia suggested. They all noded and left Grimmauld. When Cynthia stepped out of Grimmauld she apparated to her just outside her home. She walked through the dark neighborhood and up to a four storie gothic home with a tower. It was very stranged to see a home with a tower, but this neighborhood had many homes with towers. All the homes looked to be at least a hundred years old, at LEAST.

She stood before the door of the four storie building and took out a key from her cloak pocket. She opened the door and walked into a very dark entrance hall. She closed and locked the door behind her and looked around the house. It was too dark inside to see anything. She took out her wand and with a flick all the lights on the first floor turned on. All the walls where covered in burgundy wallpaper that was peeling off in some places to show a brown wall uder the paper. She walked into the room to the left and dropped her cloak in the couch. The couch matched the walls and was slightly dusty. She proceeded to walk to the kitchen. She grabbed a glass of water from the faucet and drank it. She than put the glass in the sink.

The kitchen had three doors. The one she had entered through led to the living room. The one across the room from that one was the back door of the house. The one on the right of the door she had entered through led to the dining room. She walked through the dining room and exited it through the other door. Soon she was standing in the entrance hall. She walked over to the staircase and walked all the way to the fourth floor. When she reached the fourth floor she walked all the way down the hall until she reached the door at the end of it.

She opened the door and it revealed the staircase that led to the tower. She walked up the spiraling staircase until she reached a landing that seemigly led nowhere. She reached up and pushed the trap door opened. She climbed into the room and soon she closed the trap door behind her. She clapped her hands twice and the room was imediately iluminated. Her bedroom was large and circular. The bed was right against the wall and was peculiar. It wasn't a rectangle bed, but more like half a sphere. The bedspread on it was navy blue with matching pillows. Across from the bed was a oval shaped miror hanging over a dresser and on the right side of the bed was a wardrobe. On the side of the room where there was nothing was a very large window. There was a big confertable seat in front of the window. She would sometimes sit there when she had nothing else to do or when she could not sleep.

She walked over to her dresser, set down her wand and pulled out clothes. She threw it all on the bed and than closed the drawer. She walked over to her bed and through off her shirt and put on the one that was laying on the bed. She than took off her shoes and proceeded to change her pants. When she was dressed she walked over to her dresser. There was a box on the dresser and she opened it. She pulled out all the black sex bracelets and put them on her wrist. There where about fitty of them on her arm. "How do I look?" she asked her reflection. Her reflection looked at what she was wearing.

"If you're going to go to Club Dread, which I'm assuming you are, you look just fine," her reflection said to her. Cynthia surveyed herself in the miror and smiled at her reflection.

"Yeah I'm going to a Club Dread," she told her reflection. "I'll see you later," she said to her reflection as she grabbed her wand and she walked over to the trap door. She clapped her hands twice and the lights in her room went off. She pulled open the trap door and dropped onto the straicase landing. She always hated this stairway. It always felt like she was dropping into a sewer, although, without the nasty water.

She walked down the stairs and onto the fourth floor. She walked down the hall and to the main staircase and walked down to the second floor. She flicked her wand and the lights on the second floor turned on. There where three rooms on the third floor. One was a rather large bathroom, the other a study and the third she used as a lab. The third floor had three bedrooms, a bathroom and a room she liked to use to work out. The fourth floor had a bedroom, a bathroom and the tower staircase.

She walked down the second floor hall and into the study. The study was a very big room with all four walls filled with bookshelves. There was a couch in the room and a table with four chairs in the center. She had bought her house off of some old man who was apparently a professor. Anyway she liked the library he had made for himself. There where many different types of books, all very good and interesting. Of course there had been about three books that she had tucked under the loose floorboard of one the bedroom on the fourth floor because they had very explicit sexual content. But the reason she had come to the study was to get her boots. She had taken them off in here when her and her ex-boyfriend hadn't been able to make it all the way to the tower. Which was actually about a year or so ago. She could not believe she was just now coming to get them.

She began to put on her shoes and than she heard the door bell ring. She finished putting on her shoes and stepped into the hall. She flicked her wand and the lights on the second floor turned off. She than ran to the front door. She opened the door and found Tonks and Remus both standing there. Tonks was wearing black pants, a green shirt with green shoulder length hair. She had a piercing on her right brow and on her lower lip. There was a spike collar chain on her neck as well. "Hey Tonks, I see that you're well dressed for the ocasion," Cynthia said with a smiled at Tonks.

"Unfortunately Remus isn't," Tonks said. Cynthia turned to Remus who was wearing black pants a dark purple shirt and that was about it.

"How about we play with his image a bit?" Cynthia said turning to Tonks. Tonks grinned wide.

"Sounds like fun," Tonks said. Pushing Remus into Cynthia's home. Remus and Tonks both looked around the entrance hall. "You know you're house seems more Goth than mine," Tonks said as she looked around. Cynthia closed the door and looked around her home.

"Yeah it looks like something out of a horror movie, but I guess you get used to it," she said. "Come on let's go to the tower," Cynthia said. She walked up the stairs and she could hear her guest following her. When she reached the fourth floor landing she flicked her wand and the light on the fourth floor turned on. She walked down the hall and opened the door that led to the tower staircase. She walked up the stone steps hearing her guest close behind. When she reached the landing she climbed into her room and clapped her hands.

"Come on up," she said to her guest. Tonks was the first to climb into the room and next was Remus. They both looked around her room and she made Remus sit on the bed. They both stood in front of him, both looking at him while rubbing their chins.

"What should we do to him?" Tonks asked.

"Let's give him a tongue ring," Cynthia said with a smile. Remus eyes went wide.

"You are not coming with a needle anywhere near my tongue," Remus said.

"There are other methods you know Remus," Tonks said. "Only muggles use needles, we use wands."

"I think we should die his hair black and spike it up," Cynthia said. Tonks noded in approval. "With an eyebrow and tongue ring. And with a tatoo on his shoulder."

"Sounds good," Tonks said pulling out her wand. They both walked over to Remus. Tonks pulled his right sleeve off. "Hey Remus I had no Idea you had muscles," Tonks said as she looked at his arm. Remus turned slightly pink as Tonks stared at his bicep. With a wave of her wand he had a tatoo of a dragon on his arm. As for Cynthia she had died his hair black and was currrantly spiking it up. They both than stepped back. "Do you want to do the piercings or should I?" she asked as they both looked at Remus who looked years younger and very different.

"You should," Cynthis said.

"All right," she said. She walked back over to Remus and pointed her wand at his right brow. Soon a loop ring was on his brow. "Remus stick out your tongue," Tonks instructed. Reluctantly Remus stuck out his tongue. She pointed her wand at it and soon a white gold, small sphere was on his tongue. He stuck his tongue in and began to play with. "How does it feel?" Tonks asked. He got up and walked over to the miror.

"Well I don't approve of the image and the eyebrow ring is uncomfertable, but I think I like the tongue ring," he responded. Cynthia smiled in amusement. She had to admit he did look good like a goth and that a tongue ring at the moment suonded tempting to feel. However, she liked the old Remus slightly better.

"You guys ready?" asked Cynthia. They all noded.
