Author's Note: So you finally get a chapter that talks about Nikolias! Aren't you all just jumping with joy now? Ah hahahhhahhaha! 3 Also you meet, Cassiopeia Hailwood, Nik's messenger/spy. It's sort of short, but the next chapter will continue it off, cliffhanging here.
Chapter Fourteen: Ruled by Secrecy
A dark, tall figure stood before the darkness leaking in through the window. His pale hands gripping one another behind her back and his long black hair swayed a bit with the wind. He closed his ebony eyes, breathing the night deep into his nostrils. He let out a short-lived sinister laugh and grinned maliciously, his thin lips curling.
"And what makes you laugh, Nik?" a harsh sounding female voice echoed in the large dark room.
"That Black woman, she is quite amusing..." Nikolias's voice slithered out of his small lips, "She tries so hard to become one of them, but deep in her heart she knows her roots will be the victor..."
"Are you sure of this, sire?" the harsh voice spoke again.
"It is a mix of hope and knowledge, Cassiopeia..." Nikolias stated flatly.
The woman's form became slightly more visible as she stepped forward towards to the moonlight. She was of medium height, her hair was long and seemed to glow a deep red, her eyes were a sapphire color and seemed to pierce the soul.
"Hope.... I see, so you did fall in love with her, didn't you?" Cassiopeia asked scornfully.
"Cassiopeia, you are stepping on dangerous waters..." Nikolias's voice bellowed, he still did not turn to her or look at her, "Now leave, I want you to catch up with the Weasley boy, he is in Hogsmeade. You need to get in close with him, befriend him and use a disguise."
Cassiopeia's eyes narrowed and she huffed angrily, she hated it when he got defensive. She cared deeply for him while Ariadne Black could care less for him. He was in love with that girl and Cassiopeia hated her for that. One day soon she would get her back, she would make her plead for forgiveness, she would end Nikolias's love for the girl.
SNAP!
Cassiopeia apparated right into Hogsmeade, where Ron was going, just as he had arrived and he crashed into her. Once he realized what had happened, he helped her up and his eyes filled with overwhelming apologies to her.
"Oh, I'm so sorry miss!" Ron pleaded to her.
"Oh, no worries, mate!" She said dusting herself off, she now appeared to be a young woman with ivory skin, summer blonde hair and her sapphire eyes lingered.
"I'll buy you a drink to make up, come on.." Ron ushered her into the Three Broomsticks.
"Umm, alright..." She said, alarmed by his kindness, she walked into the old-fashioned tavern and took a seat at the bar, he followed after her seating himself as well.
"You don't look familiar... Where do you come from?" He asked casually, using his hand to signal for 2 Butterbeers.
"Oh, I'm from London, on a visit to my cousin..." She conjured this lie from nowhere.
"How rude of me, I'm Ron Weasley, and you are?" He smiled at her graciously.
"Oh, I'm Karine Fairwater..." She smiled back.
