She looked around at everyone crowding around her. "Oh great the circus is in town," she said to the first man that her brown eyes fell on. What was going on, was she the big catch of the day or something. They were acting like she was the first person they had ever caught. She rolled her eyes at everyone in the room, "So what are you all going to play musical chairs to see who gets to ask me questions I won't answer?" she asked them.

Sweet Pea looked at him, "Pride cometh before a fall. I've taken down men twice your size and half the ego." She liked men like him. They always underestimated her. Never thinking a girl that looked like her could be a threat. Her laugh betrayed her years. It was light and youthful, not like the rough exterior she broadcasted. "If only everything in life were so simple." She shook her head in amusement as she thought about his question. "Tell me lawman, why would I do a fool thing like tell you my name?" she asked sweetly. She had never been caught so she didn't have a criminal record.


She smirked as the woman shrank behind the menfolk. "Do I scare you honey?" she asked. She hated frail little woman like her. Always hiding behind things, expecting others to save her. "Why don't you run along home. I'm sure you have a gaggle of kids that could be swinging from your apron strings. And you can leave the heavy lifting to the men folk." She nearly spat at the woman. That's why she liked being a pirate. She could be the woman she wanted to be and as tough as any of the other guys.

"Scare me?... not in the least," replied Emily coolly, stepping forward, standing beside Damien now. Seriously what was with this woman.

Kids? Apron? Was she asking for a good hexing? Emily raised an eyebrow, she did love confrontation.
Smiling she turned to Damien, "When can I have some fun with her?"
And by fun, she meant a little alone time to teach the woman some manners. BAH! kids indeed, that was the last thing on her mind, and she certainly did not need a man to do her bidding.

Her eyes swung around to the woman. "Oh she does speak," she said surprised. But it was short lived. She tried to make up for her lack of spine with blustering and bravado. Sweet Pea laughed and rolled her eyes, "Its easy to have fun with someone when they are tied with a chair. So unless you want to make this a fun match and untied me. You. Are. A non-factor." she told the woman.

Ok Emily was insulted now... first with the kids thing, and now this?! Oh how she longed to let her loose. Prove her worth. But... she wouldn't of course, and she couldn't do any more without Damien's directions, the last thing she wanted was to get herself kicked out of the room... she wanted to see this. And she wanted to learn.

Instead of reacting to the womans words- because she really ought to learn to exercise some control over herself, she exchanged a look with Damien. Heh...

Well. This one had a bit of a mouth didn't she? Isobel folded her arms as she watched Emily interact with the woman. Well, at least Emily didn't look too offended by what the woman-without-a-name was saying. That was pretty good, you had to take everything with a pince of salt around her. Izzy took a few steps forward, stepping alongside Emily, even though she wasn't too sure if Emily even was talking to her yet. Oh well.

"Oh...but this wouldn't be nearly as fun if you weren't tied up." She smirked for a second, before her face became composed again. "Now...I think you should do what Damien said, and tell us your name."

All of it was making him sick. Right down to the pit of his stomach. Damien, he understood: get answers quickly and efficiently, and he did it for the good of the people he protected. Emily and this other woman, however...they were almost too eager.

Letting out a slow breath, he turned his eyes back to the woman that had woken up. "They make it sound like a game, don't they?" Letting out another slow breath he drew his wand along his sleeve of his crossed arm in a wiping motion, more of a distracted action than anything else. "However, let me tell you something about our Head Auror here. He doesn't appreciate not being answered. Especially not when it does or did concern the safety of those he has sworn to protect. In the best of times his temper is short and his wand sharp."

Sabel's eyes flicked to the window where at least half a dozen observers had gathered. "While most people may be here to witness you squirm, or to glean their own understanding of the events that transpired at Hogwarts, I can assure you that he only wants one thing. The truth. And he will hold nothing back to take it from you." His eyes found the woman again, intense in honesty but disturbed by the knowledge of what he might bear witness to. "....Give us something. This isn't a threat...it's reality."

Damien was not amused, yet he continued to smirk as he tucked his back up wand up his shirt sleeve and pulled a chair up and plopped RIGHT in front of her. Seating himself comfortably he leaned back and stretched his legs out. Wand still trained on her he chuckled. "Funny enough we have that in common, darlin'. I have taken down men twice my size and women with more stupidity than you... although that may be hard to beat." The stupidity that was. Heh.

"Well the way I see it is you can tell me willingly or I can get it out of you the hard way. It's totally up to you. And mind you... I have all the time in the world and the means to do whatever I damn well please to get the information I need."

He listened to the banter between Emily and the woman and shook his head slightly. Emily was a feisty one for sure. "Tell you what, Em. When I am done... if there is anything left of her you can have at it."

"Now why don't we start with WHY you were impersonating a student at Hogwarts, ma'am. Oh where are my manners... I didn't catch your name."

Listening to Sabel speak he shrugged a bit as if to say... what can I say? The kid was right. He would stop at nothing to get what he wanted out of her. Surely there was some Veratiserum on hand... if not he would force the memories right on out of her little noggin. With glee.

For some reason, it was almost as if the woman was staring at him. But the glass... it was a mirror. Or so he thought. Was he standing too close?

He waved a hand around a little bit to see if he could gain someone else's attention from that room. No one turned their head, so maybe she just happened to look in his direction.

"I could've sworn she was staring at me..." he said under his breath. "But I'm probably just being paranoid."

Her eyes swung around to the new woman. "Just proves you have no backbone if you think fighting someone who is tied up is fun." she told the woman with a shrug. "But I guess thats the only way you can hit your target." These woman were pathetic and she would love to get them on deck and have them on their hand and knees scrubbing the place down. That's all the were good for.

She laughed again, "No, they make it sound like this is their first rodeo." she told the man honestly. The first time she gets caught and it has to be the Loony Toons Troupe that catches her. She was never going to live this down. She sighed. Sweet Pea was growing mighty tired of all of them.

She laughed, "Wow that insult had some big words in it. Remind me next time to fake offense." Honestly, she had heard worse while she was a student.

She leaned forward to stare at the man in the face. She wasn't scared of him nor anything he was prepared to do to her. She knew all the scare tactics, all the torture techniques. What did they think being a pirate was all fun and games and singing sea tales with a mug of ale? "Is there some sort of playbook you guys read from or something?" she asked leaning back with a smirk. "Because if you think this tough guy act and Mary Poppins over with her sidekick Xena: Warrior Princess is going to scare me into telling you anything you are sadly mistaken." She had faced true fear. And this ragtag bunch of rent-a-cops weren't it. "For an Auror you are very hard of hearing. I told you I was not going to tell you a thing. You can bring in your boy band over here and your scare hags and nothing you say is going to make me talk." There now maybe they could move this little interrogation right along and she could get some sleep.

First time rodeo. He really couldn't have put it better. His expression showed something akin to a sympathy of understanding. The way they were all acting, they really weren't making any sort of good name for themselves or maintaining any amount of honor. He was certain that if he had seen either of these woman threaten Hogwarts first hand, his reaction would be different, but as he hadn't he couldn't help but view the situation from a different angle.

Sabel's expression changed drastically however, when the woman invited Damien to essentially do his worst. They had him moving forward to Damien's side. His voice dropped to a quiet, private whisper to his boss while his eyes remained locked on the woman. "...Damien, it might be best to untie her. We're treating her like she's some rabid animal backed into a corner. There is no rationality in that mind-set, except to resist as much as possible. Maybe if we show some good faith, we will earn some back."

He probably sounded like a naive schoolboy, but at this point he didn't care. There were larger things at stake, in his opinion, than how he was perceived.

Smirk firmly in place, Emily acknowledged Damiens orders... she'd wait... and collect the scraps. Someone had to.

Xena-Warrior Princess? ... Emily didn't mind the sound of that... that was that epic chic from that muggle TV show... yup, easilly mistaken for her. Heh.

Hags on the other hand... well that was just plain rude, Emily shook her head and decided to perch herself on the edge of the table, looking between the woman and Damien. How would he proceed?

Emily didn't say anything, instead she just rolled her eyes and gave Sabel a look... he seriously needed to man up and deal with the facts... this woman was a dark and rabid animal. Clearly. This sort of pitty would get him killed oneday.

Damien just smiled coolly and shook his head. "They always choose the hard way," he said in a mumble.

...

"Sabel... Out. Now. If you can't handle it then leave. This woman could be a rabid animal for all we know about her. She put up a fight at the school and is very uncooperative. Let me do my job. Funny enough I happen to know what I am doing. And the fact that she put children in danger makes me very angry. I am in no mood for acts of good faith." Oooooh. Sabel was SOOOO going to get an ear full once they left out of here.

She gave him a genuine smile, "Don't do me any favors. You might regret it later," she told him honestly. She was sweet as pie on the outside. It was how she got her name, but she could be a viper in the right conditions. "Don't worry about me. I've survived things worse than your little Mickey Mouse club here." At least he was trying to be nice and she might have told him something.

Sweet Pea laughed, "Now you want me to talk to you and you're lying about me? I did not put up a fight." she said. There just wasn't a reason to lie about her. Other than the fact that he wanted to seem like the big man on campus for taking down a defenseless woman."What danger did I put them in?" She didn't hurt anyone, she barely to talked to any of those kids. They were supremely annoying and perpetually sticky. "Will you just get on with your little job. I don't have all day to sit here and entertain you and your cronies." They did more talking those silly children. And they were really starting to work her nerves.

Isobel eyed the woman. Well, this was going well so far. She wanted them to hurry up. Well, they could've hurried up if she would just tell them her name. But she was a bit of a stubborn one wasn't she? Isobel folded her eyes, eyeing the woman. She hadn't been any danger to the children at Hogwarts? Well, Isobel kind of disagreed. There was clearly a reason why she had been at Hogwarts, especially if she had been polyjuiced. "Well, there is clearly a reason why you were at Hogwarts, so maybe you were a danger to them." Especially considering that she was not telling them anything yet. It would be much better if she told them. Then she could stop entertaining them, if she thought that was what this was. Isobel glanced at Damien. He'd get something out of this woman, she knew he would.

She rolled her eyes, "Geez I guess you are hard of hearing too." She had already told them why she was at Hogwarts. "I already told Captain Save-a-Witch why I was at Hogwarts, and if you guys weren't sharing a brain between you could remember what I said." Now if they couldn't remember why she was there, especially the way she as dressed this was going to be a long night. "Is this the best the British Ministry can come up with?" she looked at all of them. She smirked. There she had given them a clue and if they weren't the pea brains she thought they were they would pick up on it.

He completely missed the look Emily gave him in exchange for nearly biting off his own tongue at Damien's words. It was all he could do to hold back against blurting out every thought that screamed through his head.

With a jaw clenched so tightly together he could feel a headache start to form, Sabel pulled back away from Damien, casting the woman a blank look as she spoke. So he may be viewed as a sympathizer to their suspects, but to him this whole procedure made no sense. But he knew, now more than anything, that he couldn't fight against Damien. He respected and trusted the man, despite his outspokenness, and forced himself to focus on that and that alone.

The woman's words affected him too, keeping him from stalking out of the room in pure anger. Instead he slipped back to his place against the wall. He would handle whatever happened in the room. And he would remain dead silent through it all, no matter what. His set expression said as much, and if Damien really wanted him out, he would say so. As far as he was concerned, he still had an option.

Emily continued observing the woman... whilst Damien put Sabel in his place. Honestly though, the boy should have known better. It was astonishing just how pig-headed this feral woman was. Mickey-Mouse Club. Yeah right. She was seriously asking for it, and Emily would not hold Damien back... heck she'd want to get in their too. She'd have to get used to it sooner or later, this is what she wanted to do. Well not this exactly, but it was all part of the job.

She wasn't responding to Damien nor Isobel... so what chance did she have? Meh, may as well speak up.
"You said you weren't going to tell... now why is that? Do you have a dirty little secret? ... Do you like children?"
Perhaps that would illicit a response from the vile woman.

"I doubt you were there babysitting. I suggest- for your own sake- that you tell us why you were at Hogwarts."
"What were you after?"

She giggled again, "Nice try troglodyte." she hated children to be honest and it took all her restraint not to hex any of them but she didn't. "You won't get a confession out of me with that. Amateur." Why was this woman still her. And how did she get a job. She was a total idiot.Does she really get paid for this?she asked the man in charge.

Damien had grown rather weary of the whole scenario. Truly he had. Twirling his wand between his fingers he sighed. The insults, the lies, the general stupid.

Cutting his eyes to her he smiled at her before sending the silent stunner at her. Proble, solved? Heh.

Pfft ... that was just rude.

Honestly... Damien's actions didn't come as a surprise to her... though she did expect more to happen.

Now the question that remained... was what did Damien have planned? Or did he not know how to proceed with this obnoxious woman?

It took a lot of effort to hold back the snap of words that he wanted to launch at Emily. A lot of effort and self control that was a hard thing in his nature to learn.

Folding his arms across his chest again, he sent his fellow trainee a frown. Really? Was it that hard to answer the question of why the woman wasn't talking? If someone actually bothered to look and take stock of the situation, it wasn't hard to understand how cornered they had made her and thus how defensive. Some people broke under those conditions, fine, but apparently she wasn't that type of person. It felt like they were beating their fists against a brick wall. And her words only confirmed that.

Damien's stunner came both as a surprise and an expected action; one that had him flinching slightly and tensing all at once. He honestly couldn't help but wonder if this was still a 'professional' interrogation, or a matter of how short tempers were.

It was hard to keep his eyes on the scene and yet harder to pull them away. Where was this going to lead?

Well this was going perfect. Isobel was kind of glad when Damien stunned the woman. At least she wouldn't be able to back chat them now. If the woman had a sane bone in her body she should've really told them what they wanted. But as she kind of watched the woman, Isobel thought of something. There was a way that they'd be able to get the answers, even if the woman didn't want to give them away. She glanced around, watching Sabel for a moment. He didn't seem very happy, but Izzy knew he should get used to it. This was what auror life was like.

"Hmm..." Isobel spoke up, looking at Damien this time. "Damien....Should we use veritaserum? Seeing as she's not willing to give us any answers."

She looked at the head many twirling his short little wand. He didn't seem as stupid as the girls, but he wasn't that much smarter either if he was working with them. She knew what he was going to do before he knew he was going to do. She wasn't going to talk and she wasn't going to tell him anything. The only thing he could do was torture her, stun her and take the memories or give her truth serum.

She slumped over with a smirk on her face.

Boy was he going to be upset when he found out what a waste of time this was going to be.

Ignoring the others Damien simply stood in one swift motion and stepped closer to the woman. Squatting in front of her he looked into her face and smirked right back at her unconscious self. There. Much better when she was out cold.

Taking his wand he conjured a larger then normal glass phial and then tilted his head slightly to the left. Without a word as of yet he stuck his wand to her temple and began to extract her memories. He was kind of curious as to what this one got up to at Hogwarts. Moreso what had prompted her to go there to begin with... but yeah. Once he was satisfied he tapped the silvery film into the phial and then corked it.

"That's what I am going to do," he said as he stood up with a little pop and crack.

Emily observed, and waited... taking mental notes so to speak. She wasn't entirely sure what her role here was... but being a trainee observation was probably the order of the day. She wouldn't mind getting involved though, but unless Damien called for it, then she would stay out of his way.

She was very curious to find out what the memories revealed. But that would have to wait. he proper interrogation would start soon.
