"Well...uh..."
*Chris rubbed the back of his neck.*
"Basically what you have here are some illegal books of magics that havent been in practice for years. Their not dark arts or anything. But you have to understand that the ministry hides things for their eyes only just because certain magics if learned by the mass populus could easily otherthrow the ministry. We will be doing a little bit of two things with this. Making ourselves more powerful for one so that we can take these creatures."
*Chris looked around to see if anyone would jump at the illegal nature of the very thing he had just held in his hands.*
"But we will also be looking for how these people could subdue someone as powerful as the ministress."

[glow=purple,2,300]"Ah..." Dovie's eyes turned unseeing as she stared at the books. Her hands lowered to her sides and her face was expressionless. "May I..?" She gestured to the book and asked her question quietly. Inside, Dovie was happier and more hyper than a kid lost in a candy store with an infinite amount of money. She looked up at Chris, obviously of higher inelligence than herself in several aspects though they were both seniors, and looked back at the book.[/glow]

Aidana listened to Chris and looked at the book in her hand. There did seem to be an ancient power ebbing out of it. She had noticed this before, but given it no thought. Books in the magical world reflected the type of things they stored inside them. Still, it was illegal, but for a good cause. If they were caught by the Ministry, would punish them. But that didn't matter, at least they would make some headway against Danawi. Something confused Aidana though. Maybe it was time that she asked Chris those questions.
" It isn't illegal until we're caught, is it?" she asked with a small smile. But then the look on her face changed into cuiosity.
" How do you know so much about the Ministry, if you don't work for them?Come to think of it, why would you say you worked for them," she asked, her vibrant green eyes boring into his. The book could wait for a few moments.

"Lets just say i know people. The old ministers aid and former headmaster here, Justin Cobalt, to be exact. He was a good friend of my fathers and when he disappeared it was because the ministry had turned on him.
See the ministry is very complicated and corrupt i might add. But thats a whole other story that we dont need to get into. The point is, these books are without a doubt a REAL offense. Not just some juvenial hall type crap. These will get the dementors out. Thats why its important you know exactly what youre getting yourselves into. I wouldnt send you in blind."

[glow=purple,2,300]Dovie blinked at the book for a moment and looked up. "Good question, but I'm guessing he researched so he knows how to avoid getting caught...Or to find loopholes.." Dovie smirked and gazed back at the book Aidana had open. She could see a faint yellowish writing on the pages but wouldn't be able to see it unless she was looking very close up. She took in a small, short breath when she realised she had a book with her that she should have been reading all this time and had completely forgotten about. She winced as if having been hit in the back of the head and placed her forehead in her right palm, muttering a low 'stupid, stupid, stupid...' Dovie walked over to the wall, thumped her head against it four times, and plopped down on the floor. "Have to finish this before I can read anything else..." Dovie spoke in a monotone voice, her eyes flattened, as she pulled out an old paperback book and slid out the bookmark open it to the correct page.[/glow]

Aidana listened to Chris's story with some interest. He was really connected, and he used those connections to the fullest. She wasn't really surprised to find that the Ministry was corrupted. It made sense. There was an Evil Lord trying to overthrow Magic Horizons, and it seemed that they weren't even trying to do anything about it. She didn't give the Ministry any credence. Aidana waved Chris's warning away. Illegal or not, these books were useful. They weren't using the power for personal gain like Danawi was. That was the difference between them and him. He used his powers for himself, and they used theirs to help others.
" The Ministry are corrupt old fools," she said agreeing with him. She opened the book, feeling it's power expand out and enter her. Aidana riffled though the pages, trying to find a place to start.
" I mean, how couldn't they notice when their own Ministress went missing?"

[glow=purple,2,300]"Meaning I have this book.." Dovie held up her book. "..that I have to finish...shouldn't take more than.." Dovie pasued to flip through the pages. "Five pages...ten total front and back..umm... Something like ten minutes max...? Cultural thing, I was told I'd finish it when I needed to, and it just having dawned on my mind... well." Dovie gave a sort of "y'know?" look and stared back into her book, only her eyes showing from behind it.[/glow]

*Chris looked at Dovie incredulously and sighed.*
"Alright go for it."
*He turned back to Aidana.*
"The thing is they know...and they are here. With dementors. But their drones wont do anything. Especially if i can keep them out of a tower. They have no real power but are easily hidden. Its important to keep everything we are doing up here to us."

((OOC: Okay, thanks, Chris! ^_^))
BIC:
Makira walked slowly up the steps, hearing muffled voicers. She went up to the Common Room quickly to check on Bolt, who'd taken to dozing the days away. She fed him, and walked off to the Astronomy Tower, seeing her mates head there.
She silently opened the door and slipped inside.
"Sorry I'm late." she whispered, inclining her head to everyone in turn, again.

[glow=purple,2,300]Dovie went into speed-reading mode and was on the last page when her jaw dropped... "Oh my..." Dovie whispered to herself. "Whoa...that...explains a lot..." Dovie blinked several times before shaking er had and looking up somewhat blankly, like she wasn't all there at the moment. "Here, chuck a book my way, I can read now..." Dovie said as she stared at the floor by Aidana's feet. A slow smile spread across Dovie's features as the words on the last page sank in. "Sorry Chris, it wasnt' meant to be as if this isn't important, but there were things I needed to know that this..." Dovie thumped the back cover of the book. "..had in it before I could continue on... Sorry, but I'm ready now." Dovie smiled, stood, and walked over towards the rest of the group. "What would you like me to do to help?"[/glow]

*Chris welcomed Makira to the party.*
"Well grab a book and read. If you see anything useful tell me. If i know it ill show it to you guys and if i dont well learn it together. I also think if we get enough time to go over some elemental magic with you guys. It comes in handy."
