Covert Operation

Daniel nodded and wrote it all down. "So, you're not sure? I'll be sure to note that". He did so, still mumbling to himself. "Well, Brienne hasn't proved her bravery. She's weak! She quit potions class because the teacher was mean! She'll never be a potioneer like me! She said she'd be my apprentice if I could make the Wolfsbane potions that she needs for as long as she couldn't make them herself. Now that she'll never learn, I won't get any peace until she does or I die! I just want her gone so I don't have to deal with the werewolf. She quit out of cowardice! If she doesn't do anything to prove her worth...I swear". This was the best Daniel could explain. He calmed down a little, "Any other details you need to know about that?"

Samantha listened to him rant on about the stupidest things that she had ever heard. After he was done she turned around and started walking off. But then she turned back around and faced him. "I'm sorry to have to say this. But after listening to that it sounds to me like you are the selfish one. She is the one in school, she is the one with the problem and all you want to do is get rid of her. If I was her I would have done the same thing. Now I'm not going to sit here any longer and listen to you talk about a friend of mine. I will make sure that she gets these papers. Thanks you and goodbye." Samantha said, she turned back around and started walking off again. She couldn't believe that this guy was being that stupid. Brienne is a good person, she didn't deserve to have to deal with a person like that. Now if he came back and appologized, maybe Samantha would give him a chance to explain better or something like that. But she wasn't going to sit there and listen to someone talked badly about a friend. She sighed then walked alittle farther.

Daniel had an "Oh Merlin what have I done" moment. "Wait!" He shouted and went after the girl. He was realizing the error of his ways, albeit slowly so.

"Wait. I was wrong. I was really really wrong. I expected a little too much of her. I should've put two and two together. I guess I just got five for an answer though the answer is four. I've been mean to her, though I shouldn't have. Though it's a little late now, since I sent her a howler that stated that I was going to kick her out. I just hope that the owl I sent it with drops it or tears it up. She's going to be mad at me, and I don't blame her for being so. I want to call the owl back somehow, but I don't know where it is, nor if she got it", Daniel seemed quite worried. Suddenly, the owl that he sent came back with a howler. Not the same howler he sent back, though.

The red envelope started shrieking, "DANIEL JOSHUA CETHIN! WHEN I GET A HOLD OF YOU I SWEAR I'LL MURDER YOU! HOW DARE YOU KICK ME OUT? I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS! YOU ASS!"

"I'm glad that you think so. Brienne is a good person, and loves to help others in need." Sammy said, watching as this howler came to Daniel. She couldn't help but laugh as she heard what it had to say. "Wow she really is mad at you." Sammy said thinking of what he could do to let her understand that he knows that he was wrong. "Well you might as well either call her up or send another message, letting her know that you know that you were wrong." Sammy said to him smiling and hoping that this helped him.

"She helps people? Where has she helped anyone? She never tells me that she's ever helped anyone. She never tells me anything" Daniel replied. He tried to phrase that as nice as possible. "I don't blame her one bit for being so mad at me, I don't blame her at all. I treated her badly. Really badly. I said those awful things about her and I'll be surprised if she ever forgave me". He looked at Sammy with wide eyes. "How can I make the message nice? I want to make it as nice as I possibly can, just so she'll pay attention to it and know I mean it".

Sammy couldn't believe that this was the nice older guy that Brienne had told her about. "Well to start with you could try and explain to her in calm happy words that you are sorry and that you didn't understand but you do now. Then you can ask her if she would like to talk in person so that you can explain better." Sammy said in unhappy words wondering how this guy could be so mean to a girl that was suppose to be his friend. "I guess I will go ahead and go now, I need to get these papers to her." Sammy said turning and starting to walk away.

"M...may I come with you? Maybe you can get her to come out so I can see her in person. I'll get her something from one of the shops here, like some of the candies she loves so much. A...and a card, an apology card. You go get her to come here, and I'll meet you two back here. This doesn't need to be strictly business anyway. That would just be boring", Daniel replied. His voice was shaking with regret, something it hadn't done in a very long time. Something that it would almost never do. He wouldn't dare show weakness with a business associate, or someone he just met. That would be way too stupid of him to do.

Of course, Brienne was up near the Hogwarts towers, but the trip there and back wouldn't be so long. He hoped that she would do that, he really needed to apologize and do it quick. "If you need to, drag her here".

((I give you permission to god-mod Brienne into the topic, and she goes with you peacefully although begrudgingly))

Sammy smiled at his attempt at trying to make things right again with Brienne, but Sammy was just happy with the fact that she was apart of it some how. So she shook her head in agreement than head out, in vampire speed, to get Brienne. It wasn't hard to find her, Sammy could only hope that it wouldn't be hard to get her to come along with her. Sammy found Brienne in a hallway pacing. Of course she must have only sent the Howler a little bit ago, so she was still angry. "Um...Brienne? I'm sorry to have to tell you this, but I was there when Daniel got that Howler. I was talking to him about getting that information and what not, when he told me about that note that he sent you. I yelled at him and what not, and now he feels really bad. He feels even worse since he got your Howler. But he is now sorry, very sorry, and wants to make it up to you. So if you could come with me and talk to him it would really help. Please?" Sammy asked her, getting on her knees and begging. Sammy knew that this would at least get her to laugh or smile or something. So Sammy stayed on the floor and waited for Breinne's reply.

((OOC: Sorry that it took me so long to reply. I was focused on the mod thing and The Undisirable thingy. I'm sorry about not speaking for Brienne, but I really don't know what she would say, so if you could just do that it would be great. Thanks. ))

What was that smell? It seemed vaguely familiar. Like that of a...vampire? A vampire. It was a vampire! Sammy! Brienne saw her. The blond girl, quite attractive, was rushing to her. Back this quick? She thought. Did Daniel chase you away as well? Why was she back so quickly? She thought that the information gathering and the interviewing would take up much more time. Much more time than this. Then, Sammy got on her knees and begged Brienne to come with. "Are you sure he's sorry and not just saying it as a trick?" She was quite suspicious. It wasn't like Daniel to just give up after fighting for a little and then just drop and apologize. Wasn't like him at all. In fact, he'd only done this a couple times before and only just in recent memory. Was his brain being fried or something?

"Sammy, I'll come with you only for your sake. His brain seems to be fried. I mean, he's only done this type of thing a couple times before and only in recent time. He was not like this since....a couple months ago. That's when this whole mess started. If he starts verbally abusing you, I'll murder him". With that, Brienne went, werewolf speed, to the spot at Hogsmeade. Granted, her werewolf speed wasn't as fast as some other werewolves, but that wasn't a problem. She saw Daniel, and frowned.

"What's the deal with the Howler anyway, a-hole?"

"I...I'm"

"I don't want to hear it"

"I...I guess you don't like me anymore....understandable. But, I do know that I'll surely be lonely tonight. Lonely without someone to go to Hogsmeade with, and to eat these assorted sweets with. I'll ever be so sad".

Brienne quickly shut up to hear that.

"I'm sorry Brienne".

"If you were truly sorry, you wouldn't have to bribe me".

"This is no bribe. I want to spend some time with you".

Brienne took a deep breath. "I suppose". It would take a long time for her to forgive him.

Sammy smiled when Brienne agreed to go with her. Of course Sammy followed her in vampire speed. Once there she stayed back to let them talk. Sammy then wondered what happened to the candy's and cards that he had said that he would get for Brienne. Maybe he figured that she wouldn't want them. Maybe he didn't have the money. Either way it started sounding like they where going to forgive each other, eventually. So Sammy smiled at them, then looked into each of there eyes. Sammy could tell that Brienne really was angry, she then looked into Danny's eyes. She could tell that he was nervous and scared. Scared of what she didn't know, maybe Brienne. "Um..Brienne. I know that he is telling the truth, if it helps you. I used my vampire ears to hear his heart beat, it sounded like he's nervous or scared. His eyes though say that he is being truthfull." Sammy said sitting down on a bench near them. Sammy could tell that maybe she should be here. But she wanted to be a friend to Brienne.
