Venom in your eyes [open]

[dan]

Chris stood in Borgin and Burke's looking up and down a shelf at all the odd but rather interesting things, sure if any of his family found out he was in hear he would probably get lectured on how dangerous knockturn alley is but to be honest he couldn't give a damn what they thought, it was his life to do with what he wanted. Looking at a hand that was on the shelf his curiosity took the better of him and moments later he was trying to pry the tight gripping hand from his wrist. "Stupid thing" he said when he finally managed to wiggle his way out of the hands grip. Chris shook his head slightly then continued looking around the shop. He wasn't looking for anything in particular he was just waiting for something to catch his eye.

After a while of just wondering around he had completely forgot why he had even gone to knockturn alley. It took him a while to remember he was there because his image as the bad guy of Hogwarts had been fading away and he was actually getting people he had never spoke to approach him to speak. That wasn't that bad but when they were first years and like the smallest hufflepuffs you could get he had to admit he must have seemed pretty lame talking to them. Get your head in the frickin zone man he thought as he lent against a wall giving an witch a dirty look then his eyes followed her out the shop. Weird old woman watching me.. he thought to himself almost smug that she had actually left because he had simply looked at her.

Although she was familiar with Knockturn Alley, Anemone rarely found herself venturing into the darker market where the vendors are not always friendly and were not always interested in just selling goods. Due to her family's influence, Anemone was quite adept with the Dark Arts and found no qualms against learning it. To her, they were just spells. Also thanks to her family and her name, she was fairly recognizable by the darker crowds found here - but that didn't mean she was treated any differently.

Stepping quickly to the side, she let a rather shabby man walk past. His robes were grimy and he definitely did not smell like roses. Her eyes watered slightly when he passed and after he moved away, she checked that her deep green cloak had not been dirtied. Her mother had sent it to her a while ago and it was her first time wearing it. She should have known better to wear such fine things out to Knockturn.

But then again, this visit wasn't particularly planned. She had been walking along Diagon Alley when she had come here on a whim. If anyone asked she'll claim that she took a wrong turn...not that anyone would believe her. Even though the wars ha passed, not many people liked to believe those who were previously aligned with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.

She was just about to turn around and head back to the more reputable shops elsewhere when she overheard an old witch grumbling about some punk. From the curses and less than flattering descriptions, she was able to deduce that the "punk" was a Weasley. Who else had flaming red hair and an "unsightly amount of blemishes"? Quickly turning around Anemone went in search of the Weasley - but who knew which one? That clan was infamous for procreating.

She should've suspected who the punk was immediately. Who else would have the nerve to come here? Certainly not any of his other family members. They were all so scared of the dark places in life. But then again, that was what differentiated Christopher from the others. Offering a little smirk, Anemone greeted him, "Look what the kneazle dragged in. I didn't know Knockturn is your new haunt." No doubt, he was probably just here to boost up his bad boy image.

Chris was just looking at a rather large book he didn't think anyone would be able to carry.. although that had started up the question of how did it get there. He completely lost this trail of thought when he heard someone speak.Slowly he turned around to see who it was that had decided to approach him, part of him was expecting to see the old hag that he had scared off earlier but he was greeted by a much younger not so ugly.. hag. "phenomenon" he said then whistled the small tune that followed. He smirked slightly at her and said "Well people have told me I'm lowlife so i figured i cant get any more lowlife then here" He told her, it wasn't his first time here, he had been there plenty of times before but it still creeped him out slightly but he was good at hiding that as he knew if people saw your weaknesses they would use them so he hid every weakness he could.

"So that's me, what brings you here?" he asked, she probably just hung out in knockturn alley as her family was well known around there. Chris lent against the wall waiting for her response, he actually had nothing against Anemone but he couldn't help slightly taking the mick out of her name.. mainly because he couldn't realy pronounce it right and it just reminded him of some weird thing he had once saw on the Muppet's.

Honestly, Anemone didn't know if she should be irritated or amused with him. Perhaps he wasn't aware that he had basically called her a lowlife - seeing as she was here as well. Or, Anemone narrowed her eyes dangerously at the thought, perhaps he was all too aware of the fact and had meant it as well. Luckily for him, the girl wasn't one to be easily insulted and definitely wasn't going to lose her cool any time soon.
Deciding not to answer his possible jibe, she walked closer and stood beside him. This way, she wouldn't be in the way of others and their conversation would be more private. "It's just surprising to see you here, that's all. Have you been here before?" She asked him speculatively. Although he was more of a rebel compared to his other family members, she still doubted that he was completely at ease in such an environment.

Anemone's smirk shifted easily into a small smile when he asked after her. No doubt, he assumed that she practically lived in this place - not that she was going to argue that assumption. She wasn't well-known for being cruel or intimidating, but as usual, her reputation precedes her. "Oh you know," She answered honestly whilst airily waving her hand, "I was just looking around Diagon Alley and decided to pay this part of the neighborhood a visit. Just for fun, of course."

Chris smirked slightly as he noticed her eyes narrow slightly, he knew he had kind of called her a lowlife, but he hadn't said it directly so he was curious if she would react, she obviously did but had decided not to mention it, Chris was unsure whether it was a good thing or a bad thing. He didn't realy think of her as lowlife, sure she had a 'dark family' but you can be nothing like your family, Chris was a great example for that. Plus all the lowlife he had came across on his trips down Knockturn Alley were fairly ugly and even he had to admit she was good looking. Then again that could just be Chris, he did like to go from girl to girl.. not anymore though.

"Yeah, Ive been here before" Chris said with a smirk then added "Don't be surprised to see me here, there's a lot of stuff about me that you don't know" she could be surprised when she found out something big about him like he was scared of cats but he was getting better with cats now.. or at least he hoped he was, it was a ridiculous phobia. "Your also not going to find out much about me" he told her, he was a mystery to a lot of people, even family members and he liked that. It gave him a kind of power.

"Suuurreee" Chris said with a wink and a smirk. She probably had just came for fun but he liked teasing people especially girls, even if he was in a relationship, flirting and teasing couldn't hurt as Annie would understand he was just messing about. He wouldnt freak if he caught her flirting as long as it was all they were doing. "So.. two Slytherins.. in Knockturn Alley.. for fun?" Chris said with a small smile on his face "That could sound suspicious"

Although she was surprised that Christopher had been to Knockturn before, she didn't let it show on her face. Sometimes it was so good to be detached from her emotions. That way no one could read her face or her moods. "I suppose that's true. You rather like being mysterious don't you?" She remarked. It was true though. They had gone to school together for so long but she can easily count the times he had freely volunteered information about himself with one hand.
She wasn't one to talk though. She had purposely let her family's reputation go unchecked so she could reap the benefits. Most people wouldn't try to cross her if they thought she practically bathed in dark magic every night. It was quite useful to have a reputation to fall back on although sometimes she wasn't trusted as much as she'd liked. But one can't have the best of both worlds after all.

Anemone couldn't help but laugh lightly at his teasing. Were two Slytherins lurking around Knockturn Alley that suspicious a sight? Well, only to a paranoid Gryffindor or some professors. "I don't think so." Anemone said with a straight face. "If anyone asks I'll tell them I took a wrong turn." Well, not many people would believe that, but calling her a liar to her face wasn't something people would do. She was a Nott and her father took insults to his children as insults to himself. "Anyways, it's only suspicious if I walk into that shop over there..." She pointed in the direction of Borgin and Burkes, "And came out with something. But forget about me," She said in a low, teasing voice. "Are you up to no good, Mr. Weasley?"

[dan]

Chris smirked slightly as she said he liked being mysterious, it was true.. he loved it. "Well maybe i do maybe i don't" he joked with a smile. Although he had to admit Anemone was also fairly mysterious, the only thing he realy new about her was her name, her family and the way she would react to certain things. That stuff was pretty obvious and he was sure he had a lot more to find out about her. "Im not that mysterious, people just never ask the right questions" he confessed to her, if people asked hims stuff he usually told them the truth or at least what they wanted to hear.

Chris smiled at her laugh all girls laughs where pretty, while mens are more of a test to see who the most manly. "Well if anyone asks me i'll say i came here for the heck of it" Chris said and added "Wich is the truth and if anyone has a problem with that then that's there problem and not mine". "Arnt i always up to no good?" Chris asked with a smirk and a wink. He was usually up to something mischievous from putting dungbombs in the girls bathroom to roaming the forbidden forest, the rules to him were kind of like a guideline on what to be like if you were lame.
