Courtyard of Hogwarts after classes

[Master Necromancer]

It was 7:30 PM and Sidious meditated at the Courtyard while waiting to see if John from Ravenclaw will respond to his message.

While he waited he thought back on all the people that he met, Gryffindors he despised so Sidious had nothing to ask of them, Hufflepuffs are useless, now about his house... Atticus is not a friend, maybe a future rival, pity they would made a great team and Sidious would possibly had much to take from him but ces la vie... William is neutral, to neutral and seams to be close with Atticus most of the time, is he just using him or something more? That remains to be seen. Violeta is a talented witch but her sister is her weakness, Sidious will keep an eye on her all the same who knows maybe there will come a time when she will need a favour and a debt from a talented student is more than one can ask for. Now for Ravenclaw, most of them are bright but to pompous to parley with. Jhon is a different matter all together thou. A bright lad with potential and no friends, that idiot Steven will bug him I see and there could be a beneficial alliance here and gain. But this remains to be seen... To be without strong allies or friends in this place is ill-favourable.

OOC: Sneaky for a 11 year old aren't I?

John walked over to Sidious, who had asked if he would meet him after classes, Hi Sidious, what do want exactly?

[Master Necromancer]

Sidious opened his eyes and stood up. Turned to John with a friendly smile.

John, glad you made it. Sidious raised his hand with a bag of chocolate frogs towards John. Want some?

[removeduser_456323]

Yes please, thank you, so let's get down to business, what do you want to talk to me about?

[Master Necromancer]

Yes please, thank you, so let's get down to business, what do you want to talk to me about?

Sidious was pleasantly surprised that John was not so naive and it showed on his face.

Well, you can't deny that the start of the year here is going for the best for you, socially speaking.

No worries, not the best for me either.

So I have a proposition, let's watch each others back, you know give homework one to another, share spells and it's always good to bend the rules if you are not alone, to the benefit of both of us of course.

Sidious offered his hand to John for a hand shake.

Friends?

[removeduser_456323]

Indeed, it is better to be allies then rivals. It is always good to have someone watching your back John shook his hand

[Master Necromancer]

Sidious was pleased that he finally found someone that he can learn to trust. And that they are not from the same houses can prove even better.

Walk with me.

He said with a smile and started walking. Now for the second part.

So do you have any ambitions for the first year?

[removeduser_456323]

I will do nearly anything for our house to win the house cup and I want to get good marks in my classes, I don't want to be too popular otherwise I will be envied and disliked by many.

[Master Necromancer]

Hmmm... But is there any magic skill or class that you want to be exceptionally good at?

[removeduser_456323]

Probably Defence against Dark Arts

[Master Necromancer]

Very well.

Not that ambitious after all Sidious thought.

Come, lets have dinner. What if I told you that I have heard of a way on how we can get a few extra points for our houses and in the process learn a few interesting and useful things?

[Master Necromancer]

OOC: Something is wrong with Chrome, I keep double posting but pressing the post button only once, sorry for that please delete this one.

[removeduser_456323]

Then I would jump at the chance to join you, even if it meant getting points off Ravenclaw.

[Master Necromancer]

Then listen carefully, you might want to write this down.

You must find 5 cherries (Common ingredient) 3 viles of wormwood essence, one bottle of doxy eggs and one bottle of Salamander blood (rare ingredients). Can you do that for me?

Once you have them, tell me than the plan can begin and I will explain it all. Trust me.

Sidious smiled as he waited for the reply. He already told John one part of his plan which compromised him, Sidious hoped that John appreciates this act of good faith.

[removeduser_456323]

Okay, as it is you who wants them, please can you tell me where I would get the rare ingredients? John said with a touch of Sarcasm.

[Master Necromancer]

Okay, as it is you who wants them, please can you tell me where I would get the rare ingredients? John said with a touch of Sarcasm.

If I knew I wouldn't ask would I?

Sidious replied with and equal amount. I'm starting to like this kid he thought to him self.

There is no hurry here, it's a long term plan, I'll race you to the great hall.

Sidious started running. This came up better than I expected he smiled for a second.

[removeduser_456323]

John ran after his new friend.

[Master Necromancer]

Sidious stopped in front of the Great Hall to wait for John, when he came he asked him.

You should really run faster or cheat. Sidious smiled.

There is something I wanted to ask you. What are your thoughts on that Steven from your house?

[removeduser_456323]

I find him a bit weird to be honest, like that whole furore over him trying to give Atticus a love potion, that was just weirdness in it's pure essence. John said.

[Master Necromancer]

He offered it to you too if I recall correctly?

Listen, in confidence, friend to a friend Sidious put his arm around Johns shoulders that kid needs to be thought a lesson. He poses a danger to him self and to others trying to poison them like that. Don't you agree?
