Draco Malfoy was in hiding. He had dark black hair and brown eyes that were covered by black rimmed glasses. He wore muggle clothing more and more, and was, in essence, totally different looking. He had also gained muscle mass, which had made him look different then the school boy that he had been last year. Draco Malfoy was no longer Draco Malfoy, but Brice Evariste, a french student taking a year off to see England.
Draco Malfoy was also heartbroken. Li Na Shing, the love of his life, was preganant with his enemy's baby. It was funny how f**ked up his life could get. He was beginning to realise that no matter what, his life would only have misery in it. He didn't mind what happened to him anymore.
Draco, or Brice, sat down in the Three Broomsticks, a cup of coffee in his hand (he had gotten accustomed to drinking at least 6 cups of the stuff a day), and a book in the other about Potions.

The red and black headed, amber eyed 'bartender' stood behind the bar, frowning as she cleaned the glasses. Why, again, was she here? Oh, that's right. She was looking out for suspicious activities. Sighing, she leaned against the bar, looking around the room.
Jaden Aimes had disappeared nearly three months ago, when Raven Serenity had appeared in the Death Eater's ranks. Not only was Raven a Death Eater, she was also a self appointed Auror, hoping for this to end soon so she could go home. Covering up her English accent, she posed an Irish one instead to the black haired man sitting at the bar. "Oi, there lad. Been a rough day, to ye?"

Draco looked up from the crappiest book he had ever read. "Ugh, yez."he answered nonchalantly. The girl in front of him was pretty, with red hair and amber eyes, and Draco sened something familiar about her, but the Irish accent through his off. Then again, his french accent probably through people off as well. He studied her for a moment. "You seem young to be having a job."he said conversationally, his french accent perfect. Thank god Narcissa had made him learn the learn the language.

She smiled at him, where did she know him from? She remembered that vibe from somewhere. Tao? No, it wasn't Tao. It damn sure wasn't Halen or Hunter. Who was it? She bit her lip as she heard his comment. Shit! What do you say now, Aimes? Think, idiot, think!
"Um, yea. I'm only working here part-time in order to help out me Mum. She's a lovely old lass, she is. Worth every sickle I make here. What're ye doin out of school? Ye look to be the same age as me."
She twirled a piece of her hair around her finger as she thought more, trying to figure out how he seemed familar. Everyone she knew was still at school, so it wasn't any of them. Was it?

"I'm actually from France, I'm skipping my last year of school to see England, and then I plan to begin studying Dragons in Romania."he explained. He smirked, and mentally slapped himself for that. He needed to stop smirking, it was way too obvious.
"Oh, where are my manners?"he smiled. "I'm Brice Evariste, and you are?"

Jade smirked in reply. Dammit! She knew him, but not his name! Where was the fun in that? Who the hell was he?
"I see. I'm doing much o' the same. Me Mum decided t' move here, so I was supposed t' transfer t' Hogwarts, but with the old headmaster being murdered and all, I thought it was better t' get a life going in the real world. I'm still studying on me own, so I plan to take me NEWTs, but we'll see how tha' goes." She shrugged her shoulders and held out her hand, fingernails painted black.
"Me name's Raven. Raven Serenity. Pleasure t' meet ye."
She slipped back into a memory for a moment, where she was laughing with her group of friends over the summer. Her, Li Na, Draco, and Tao Chen we all strewn across the room, laughing and watching the television. Suddenly, Jade stood up and announced she liked the name's Raven and Serenity after being dared by Li Na to do so.
Oh, shit Jade! How could you be so dumb? Well, if they hear your name, maybe they won't remember. Please, let them not remember.

Draco shook her hand and nodded. "I see... what do you plan on doing? I mean... job wise? Surely you won't keep working here?"he asked questioningly.
Raven Serenity... Raven... Serenity... Where had he heard that? Raven Serenity...
It hit him like a brick. He remembered what his mother had told him at his initiation. 'As a DE you will have to remember every memory...'
Jade.
Draco said nothing to start, but rather kept his cover. "How'd you get a job here?"

She laughed, shaking her head and sending her curls over her shoulders. "Job wise? I haven't got a clue. There's not much hiring around here right now. Continue t' work here? Nah, I'm pretty sure I'll find somewhere else to go."
Things didn't look so good. Shit...he knew something he wasn't letting on about. His whole demeanor had shifted. Well, pry out what you can. "I just asked and she said she was looking for some help during the day. Said something about a pretty young face, but I dunno. I took the job. Saved me searching."
She narrowed her eyes at him. She wouldn't get anything here. As she leaned over to refill his cup, she murmured. "I get off in thirty minutes. If you hang around in the park over there, I've got some questions to ask you."

Draco nodded simply. "Yeah, though it is a nice place. I've taken a liking to coffee so I tend to drop in quite a bit nowadays."he admitted.
"Well, good for you."Draco smiled. Ah, good, an acctuall smile. He liked when he did things right.
Draco raised a brow. "Okay..."he said simply. He sipped his coffee and looked at her curiously.

"Ah, coffee! It makes the world go round! Though, the muggles have this delightful little place tha' almost matches the brews here. Me Da used t' try and drag me in there. Before he got killed." Shrugging, she turned back to wiping down the glasses.
She smiled back at him, brightly. "Yes, it's a good thing I found it. The owner's a real doll, she didn't even ask questions on why I wasn't at school."
"Don't ye 'Okay...' me, lad! I got questions and they're going to be answered. Starting off with you job status." She said, tugging her black three-quarter sleeved shirt up to tie it at her stomach. She quickly checked the sleeves, making sure they were pulled down to her elbows.
((Wow...I think I see a patern as to why she's Raven! Tehe!))

((lol))
Draco's face darkened. "I'm... sorry..."he said with a sympathetic look. Draco hated his parents, but that didn't mean that he couldn't weep for the loss of others'
"That's really nice."Draco said. "Glad you found a good place for yourself."he said. 'Now if only I could find one...'
Draco raised a brow. "I say we talk about that outside. If you can get off..."he said...

"Ah, wotcher. Look what ye've done now, Raven. Hey, don't be sad. He wasn't worth all that'. He was a cold hearted bastard. Planned to marry me off t' some guy with a little money." Jade shook her head, and patted Brice's hand. "It's no big deal. No harm done."
"It's nice t' belong somewhere every now and then. More than I can say for how it used t' be."
She smirked and nodded. "Rosmerta! I need t' leave a little early t' do some errands! I'll see you tomorrow!" An affirmative echo came back, and Jade slipped the half-apron off, throwing it under the bar. "Right, then, bud. Let's get going," she said, hopping over the bar.

Draco nodded, opening the door for her to walk out and then leaving himself. The streets were not crowded on the breezy day. The sky was a greyish blue, with no vlouds in sight. It was anice, refreshing day, and Draco welcomed the fresh air to get his mind off of life. "So, what exactly do you want to ask me?"

Jade twirled around in the street, a feeling of freedom overcoming her as she escaped from work. It was true, what she had said about being offered the job. But, what she neglected to say was that she needed it because her mother thought she was dead. Laughing, she made her way over to the park, and leaned against the back of a bench.
"So...tell me. You've evidently figured out who I am, so spill the name. Also, you seem familiar and if I don't get my answers the pleasant way, I'll be forced to take them out of you. Also, as a warning, if you do indeed guess right on my name, you either swear to secrecy or get murdered right here, right now."

Draco smirked, it was the same old Jade, that much was certain, perhaps more hurt than she had been before, but still, it was Jade, and Draco knew that she wouldn't betray him. "Jade Aimes, Slytherin, age seventeen. Li Na Shing's... ex best friend I'm assuming... Dated DE Halen Scott, Li's brother Tao's best friend, to save her friend from the trouble until Li f**ked the guy and wound up with his kid. Now... let's think, Jade, who was left out of the story?"he said.
"Oh, and as for secrecy, it cuts both ways."he said simply, pulling out his wand, which he fiddled with in his hands before putting it back in his pants pocket.
