| Raziel decided that she would take her business plans to another establishment, leaning her second in command in charge of the club, who she trusted above all else, after all, with people threatening the club she needed someone trustworthy there.
Smiling graciously as she opened the door to the pub in Knockturn Alley, Raziel looked around at all of the dark and mysteriously handsome men around the bar and she chuckled lightly.
Well those business plans were erased for the night.
Raziel sat down at the bar in her pencil skirt navy blue business suit and placed a pencil in between her lips as she thought about the numbers in the business, they were looking solid. |

| Ophelia had noticed a sign that said 'Knockturn Alley' whilst wandering Diagon Alley, and never having been down there she decided to explore. The moment she'd set foot in that place she had known it was a bad idea. There were the bad sorts of people lurking around, calling to her from the shadows. She felt her attire was extremely in-appropriate for such a place, with her mid-thigh, tight black dress and silver stiletto's. She looked around only to find that she had ventured to far and was lost.
She looked around to see if she could find anyone who looked semi- normal, but they were all nasty looking. "Whassa problem, shuga? No' lost, ar ya?" A voice drawled in her ear, and she whipped around to see a man with long black hair and a beard. He looked around 60, and she stumbled backwards, completely creeped out.
"O-of course im not," she retorted in an annoyed tone. "Bugger off, I found what I was looking for anyway." She snapped, and her eyes zoned in on a pub with a sign over it reading 'Sorceress' Poison'.
Deciding it was better than staying out here with Mr. Creepy, she hurried over to the pub and stepped inside. It was warmer inside, and no one looked at her as she entered. She let out a sigh of relief and made her way over to the bar where she saw a woman that looked normal. Not just normal, absolutely gorgeous. Her mouth opened with a 'pop', and she shut it quickly and decided to sit next to her and ask how to escape this place.
"Hello, you look lonely. Need some company?" |

| Raziel looked up from her business plans with a small smile on her lips, true she had been looking for company but had not been expecting anyone female, not that it bothered her, and she nodded her head with a gesture to the seat next to her.
"Hello there, any company is good company, I'm Raziel Ciero, and you are?" she asked politely.
It wasn't often that she could converse with women without them wanting to rip her hair out by the end of the night, it was something that saddened her at times even though she didn't need female companionship.
"You look a little too dressed up to be here, did you get any hassle on your way here?" |

| Ophelia smiled at Raziel. She liked the name, it was unique, and foreign. Along with her last name, she wondered where she was from and what brought her to Britain. She also wondered why such a gorgeous woman was hanging around a dingy place like Knockturn Alley.
"I agree completely. Ophelia Zabini at your service."
Ophelia supplied, looking around as several handsome men eyed Raziel in a disgusting way, as if they were un-dressing her with their eyes. It made Ophelia's eye twitch and her eyes fill with disgust. Ophelia rested her arms on the bar as she grinned to herself.
"Im new around her, so I thought i'd explore. Bad idea, I did get a rather creepy looking old man ask me if I was lost which is why I rushed in here. And you, you look like you're dressed up for a business meeting. Why is such a pretty face hanging around here, hmm?"
Ophelia pursed her lips, for there had been places like this back in Australia were often girls like her would go missing and turn up months later, dead. |

| Raziel smiled slightly when Ophelia introduced herself, it was a lovely name and reminded her of some character in a Shakespeare play, if she remembered correctly there was a very sad story attatched to her.
"Ophelia, were your parents avid lovers of Shakespere? It's a character from Hamlet isn't it?"
Seeing the eye twitching, Raziel smiled lightly again and waved a hand behind her as if to dismiss the men behind her, they always acted like that, it was something she had gotten used to.
"New around here? Where are you from then? Oh...oh yeah, that'll be Steve, he's a bit odd it's a good job that you came in here, he likes brunettes especially I think."
Smirking slightly Raziel nodded her head: "Indeed I was at a meeting, just reviewing some numbers, it's quieter here, people know not to bother me or they get my size seven shoe up their ass." |

| Ophelia sighed as Raziel mentioned Shakespeare - her pet hate. Not because she didn't appreciate the intricate and brilliant plots that he thought up, but merely because her parents had been obsessed with it. They did not care for any muggle books or movies or even the plays other than Shakespeare. Her mother would force her to watch it as if it were religion, and Ophelia could remember that her mother would also quote Shakespeare at least 3-5 times a day.
"You could say that, if an avid fan means there lives revolved around it and they watched it was if it were religion. And yes, Ophelia is from Hamlet."
Ophelia confirmed Raziel's suspicions. She looked behind Raziel as the woman waved all of the leering jerks off, and some of them turned their attention to her in desperation. She presumed it was due to her rather revealing dress, and she stuck the finger up at them in annoyance.
"I hail from the peaceful land of Australia. You know him? Lovely, im glad im so liked." Ophelia frowned and motioned the the men. "Do you get that a lot?"
Ophelia stuck out her tongue at the mention of reviewing numbers and the likes. She was not patient enough to do such things, and though she didn't like her job she decided it was easy enough and it paid the bills.
"Im sure that would be a charming experience. What do you do for a living?" |

| Raziel sensed some sort of tension around the matter and wondered why for a moment, then, as she spoke, she found out why and made a face she had lived in the time of Shakespeare and even then it was a complete bind looking back to speak that way.
"Yikes, it's not thar good to obess over it every waking moment, and they could have picked a character that had a nice story behind them, like Portia. Ah well, could have been worse...could have picked some obscure name nobody can say."
Seeing the men now beginning to leer at Ophelia, Raziel raised an eyebrow and twitched her hand slightly so a dagger slipped out of her sleeve.
"Australia! One place I haven't been yet, would you recommend if for a place to live? Oh..yeah yeah I do I just try to ignore it, it's just these vibes I give off I guess, it's like a dog whistle for attracting horny guys... It's great."
Raziel rolled her eyes sarcastically and chuckled slightly. Smiling broadly when she was asked what she did for a living, she said:
"I run a club! An exclusive club, for elite members of society to hook up and de-stress." |

| Ophelia grinned at Raziel. Oh, if only the woman knew her parents. They were nutcases about anything old fashioned, and to them Shakespeare was a genius who ought to be worshiped. Though they were strange, she still loved them.
"If only you could meet them, they're nuts. Gotta love 'em though. Mum just loved the name 'Ophelia', said it made her think of angels."
Ophelia rolled her eyes as she said this, for her mother said that about any name she liked. She was like that, her mother. It was rather depressing that her parents had named her after a character that had gone nuts, but she did like her name. It was different.
Ophelia raised an eyebrow at the dagger, but said nothing on the matter.
"Its wonderful to live in Australia. If you like the cities without so many people you think you'll die from claustrophobia, I recommend it completely. Everything's very affordable too, and the beaches in Queensland are to die for."
Ophelia couldn't help but smile as she spoke of her beloved homeland that she missed so much. She knew that one day she would go home, but not just yet.
"Ack, men. Many of them are disgusting creatures controlled by certain parts of their body."
Ophelia's eyes lit up as Raziel mentioned owning a club. She hadn't been to a club since her encounter with Briony at Brimstone, and even then they'd merely sat and drank.
"Sounds better than my job." |

| Raziel smiled slightly sad, and thought about her parents, her mother a demon in Hell who wanted nothing to do with her children and her father long dead and buried, the only family she had was Lucian and he was in Germany.
"Yes, you do have to love your family while you have them, my father himself was an avid fan of Shakespeare." she mentioned, leaving out the fact that that was because he was alive when he was writing.
At the fact that the cities in Australia were large, Raziel was sold on the topic of moving there at one point in time, after all she loved large cities because they were just so easy to blend in to, and there was so much to see.
"I love large and busy cities, so many people to meet, it's one of my favourite things to do. Meet people."
Unable to stop a small laugh, Raziel sniggered behind her hand, quite happy to be thinking of men in that way, because her business and in a way her nature was all about it: "Oh tell me about it, sometimes it can be flattering but...seriously that guys like 60...bleh..."
Seeing the light in Ophelia's eyes Raziel grinned lightly: "Well you are welcome to attend, The Masque, I'll let you in for free since you're a friend." |

| It seemed that the thought of Raziel's own family saddened her, and this displeased Ophelia. She did not like to think that she had upset her newfound friend, but she relaxed as she spoke of her father enjoying Shakespeare. She decided that it must be common for parents to be insane fans of Shakespeare.
Ophelia didn't understand what all of the fuss was about.
"Indeed. Was he? It must be a common thing among adults."
Ophelia grinned at Raziel as she spoke again. In an attempt to explain more about Australia, Ophelia scoured her brain for great information on it and began to speak again.
"Mm. If you enjoy muggle wine, I recommend a visit to South Australia and the Adelaide hills. South Australia is known for its great wine. If you love beaches, then I recommend Queensland, and if you love beautiful yet busy cities I completely recommend Sydney."
Ophelia herself adored Sydney and Adelaide, two completely different yet similar cities. Though Adelaide was not as a big, not as populated and didn't have nearly as many attractions as Sydney, it had its own special features, like you could live in the midst of the country yet be 40 minutes from the centre of the city! It had everything you wanted, needed and adored without being busy. Sydney was busy and full to the bursting with attractions and places to go. If you wanted land in Sydney you'd be at least 3-4 hours from the CBD, but that was alright. If you were a witch, you could merely apparate. However, with so many people that wasn't the wisest choice. What was similar about both, was that they were both beautiful.
Ophelia wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Men." She growled.
Ophelia grinned at being called Raziel's friend, and she was beginning to feel as if she belonged in Britain. Already, she had made some great friends and was beginning to accept that Alex was dead. Heck, she was even starting to move on.
"That's really not necessary, i'd feel horrible if it was free." |

| Raziel smiled lightly and nodded her head, there was indeed a common theme among adults that they all loved Shakespeare, it was something that although she understood and actually quite enjoyed she would never go on about it so like her father had.
"It must be, hopefully when we get older we wont be going on about it so, I suppose we'll just be talking about something else instead."
Listening intently to Ophelia when she said more about her home country of Australia, Raziel thought that she would definately like this place, it had alcohol, was warm, had alcohol and had beaches...and the alcohol was appearently good.
"This is sounding better by the minute, I love all of those things. Although I have to say that I'm torn between beaches and the city, maybe I'll just have to floo between the two places if I really can't decide."
Raziel could tell the enthusiasm that Ophelia felt for Australia and she wondered for a moment if she was missing it very much, and why in fact she was actually here instead of at home with her family and friends, although, it was not her place to pry.
At the way she talked about men, Raziel grinned lightly, they were disgusting sometimes.
"Well I don't mean to be rude or anything, but i charge £10,000 for an entry ticket, and I don't think anyone thats not a politician or a multimillionaire has that kind of money to throw away on a ticket to my club." |

| Ophelia laughed and nodded in agreement. There was always something that adults must go crazy over, whether it be a book or something else. She was positive something else would come along. Perhaps a band.
“Mhhm. There’s always something adults can appear nuts about.”
Ophelia grinned at Raziel, for she loved to share good information about her home country. She especially loved it when people seemed to take a strong liking towards Australia, for it was her homeland and one of the most wonderful places in the world, though Britain was actually getting better and better in her mind every day.
It was just really cold, all the time.
“Well, if you live on the Gold Coast you get the beaches and the city.”
Ophelia chimed in, and she went to suggest Adelaide but decided against it. Though Adelaide had great beaches, the city wasn’t very busy and didn’t have all of the locations to visit that she presumed Raziel would want too.
Just talking about Australia made Ophelia homesick, and she sighed. If she ever found another man, and they got married and conceived children than she most definitely would insist that they move back to Australia. Though she would be pleased to send them to Hogwart’s instead of Urelic, for Hogwart’s was even famous among the Australian’s for its brilliance.
That and Harry Potter attended Hogwart’s, and everybody knows Harry Potter.
“Oh, wow. Okay, perhaps I will take up that free offer than. At least let me buy my own drinks though... so long as they aren’t nearly as much as that.” |

| Raziel was glad that there seemed to be places in Australia where you could get the best of both worlds, it was something that would mean she could live quite comfortably there and do as she pleased, maybe she would see Ophelia there...
Oh...now theres a thought...
"Well then I will have to have a look there as soon as I get bored of England, I flit around a lot, and hopefully I'll be able to take my brother with me now."
Wondering if a change of topic was needed, Raziel thought that Ophelia appeared to be getting slightly homesick and she didn't want her friend getting all depressive on her now.
"So, what do you do for a living now that you're over here in rainy old England, I haven't seen you around much before."
Raziel chuckled and nodded her head, that was fair; "That's acceptable to me, and no, no they aren't that expensive so don't worry about it." |

| Ophelia sighed as she thought of her homeland which she missed so much, but she shook her head and the thoughts flew away. She was happy in England now, well, as happy as she could be at the moment. She knew she would get happier over time.
“What a life, visiting different places all the time. This is the first time i’ve ever left Australia, which is something im ashamed to admit.”
Ophelia said this with a nervous laugh, scratching the back of her neck. It was something that people often laughed at her for, not meaning to hurt her feelings but doing so without realizing it. It seemed ridiculous to many that she’d never been outside of Australia before.
To be honest, she’d never had a reason to leave.
“I only moved her a month or so ago. I work at The Three Broomsticks, serving rowdy and disgusting customers all day. Yay.”
Ophelia didn’t even try to make her job sound good, because it wasn’t. By the end of the day she wanted to throw something at a majority of the people in there. There was always something wrong, always someone winging to her about how bad their life was. Like she cared, like she had the energy to care.
If she were sitting at the bar with them like she was with Raziel, she would care. But when she was working, she wished they would shut up and take their drinks. There were only rare occasions when she didn’t mind chatting with someone on her shift. These were normally people who asked her questions about herself and her life, and talked about various subjects with her instead of just complaining.
Ophelia grinned at Raz, she still didn’t feel too good ripping Raziel off of all that money, but she would like to visit.
“I still feel guilty, if ever you need something im your girl.”

| Raziel smiled lightly, if she had her way she wouldn't have to leave places where she had friends, people that she liked, because it would be so much easier to stay with all of them as opposed to leaving and starting all over again.
"There's nothing wrong with that, there's so many places in Australia it seems, and you love it, have everything you need there, what need is there to leave a place like that?"
Wondering if she should ask the question that she had been dying to, Raziel bit the bullet and asked:
"You don't have to answer this if you don't want, but, why did you end up moving away?"
When Ophelia said that she worked in the Three Broomsticks Raziel nodded her head with an 'Ahhhh' it sounded like she really did hate her job and Raziel was about to offer her a place at her club before realising it may not be her thing if she hated horny men...
"Sounds like a wonderful job, marvellous, but my place is probably a lot worse, the front is a club but there is a back room for a more...Burlesque feel." Raziel grinned "So you get all the horny guys, not making it sound appealing am I?"
Waving her hand dismissively Raziel merely smirked lightly: "You can do me a favour by coming, it'll be nice to have someone who isn't trying to feel me up and has the IQ of more than a gnat." |
