Pretty Girls Can Get You Killed (Lucy)

Something that the muggles weren't aware of was that a few of their more exemplary members in the Knight's Templar were actually wizards. They were skilled in physical combat with swords like the others but also worked magic into their fights to help them win their battles. Kieran had been trying to track down the site of one of the tombs and he finally thought he found one, and if what he'd heard was right he was certain it would be filled with treasure. After apparating to the small town he made his way to an old graveyard on the edge of it that was near some old Roman ruins.

It took longer than he expected before he found the first signs of rune magic, and he started piecing together what their purpose were slowly, using his notebook that he always brought with as he put the pieces into place. Finally, he realized what this scheme's purpose was and let out a low whistle. "Shit, if I botch this up I'll be permanently transfigured into a hamster. And my life will also be reduced to how long said hamster will live." he said, having to admit begrudgingly that this was a rather creative and impressive bit of work.

Just as he was about to touch the first rune he would have to hit in the proper sequence within a certain a mount of time he heard footsteps. As he turned to see who on earth would be here with him his hand just missed pressing the rune by a couple of inches. "Don't sneak up on people like that, especially in graveyards." Kieran told the young woman he saw, clearly frustrated and not even trying to hide it. Sure, she was pretty and all but he'd nearly messed this whole thing up and possibly gotten them both effectively killed because she'd startled him while he was working on something. In his opinion, he had the right to be a little grumpy.

Lucy

Tess had been exploring England as per usual on her day off and by more chance rather then anything else she had come across the graveyard. Curiosity had often gotten the best of her even when she hadn't meant it too. She had been watching a boy look at a set of runes.

She had stepped forward, making noise as she did and looked up at him. Especially after he practically had a go at her. "My apologies." she said, "I was just curious." Lucy admitted. She had worn a simple shirt today, rather plain clothes in her opinion but they showed her stomach off nicely. She looked at the boy. Lucy knew this boy..Kieran.

Kieran had helped her during her years at Hogwarts. He had been one of the very few people that had noticed her. Kieran had actually been one of the few people that she had ever really spoken too. He had suggested her exploring less known and more unusual magics as a profession. So really. She owed him her apprentiship. "I see you made it as a professional grave robber."

As the younger woman stepped closer, his eyes couldn't help but flit to her bared stomach before it went back to her eyes, a small blush forming on his cheeks. She looked good, really good, but to him it still seemed a bit much to wear something like that. However, he couldn't deny that she seemed happy and comfortable with her outfit so figured it really wasn't a bad thing. Kieran made a concerted effort to keep his eyes from roving after his slip, though. "It's alright, luckily no harm was done. Just, don't move for a bit while I deactivate these runes." he instructed.

Turning back to the runes he was about to start the sequence when she piped up again, and he sighed before looking back at her. "I'm not a graverobber, I'm a professional cursebreaker actually. This is just a side project." he said with a sigh. Something about the way she talked and her voice was familiar, and Kieran stepped closer as he studied her face. "It can't be...Lucy? Little Lucy Belware?" he asked, laughing.

Lucy watched him as he spoke. "I am far from little Lucy now." She huffed, "Still a grave robber legal or not." She rolled her eyes a little. "I am hardly little now so shush ."

She looked at him " No laughing at me I'll kick you onto your ass." She said, she didn't like being called little Lucy . It was a horrible name. The worst name actually. However Kieran had a little advantage that others didn't. He had been there, especially when her Mum and Dad had divorced and she had been struggling with buying school books and stuff.

Kieran had been a lifesaver . He had given her his old books to finish school with, which had meant she could pass at least. She had in turn gone on and donated the books for a kid that couldn't afford all brand new ones herself.

Sighing Lucy crossed her arms. " So I got up to Knights Templar and possible treasure. What have you got?" She asked. Smiling a little. Yeah. She had noticed his looks at her now older body.

Kieran blushed more when she said she was far from little, as he remember just how not so little her adult body was. "That may be. But you're still younger than me and I'm still taller than you. I reserve the right to call you little if I want." he said teasingly, extremely happy to see the young kid he'd helped at Hogwarts all grown up and appearing to be doing well.

He just shook his head and gave her a wide smile. "I don't doubt that you could Lucy. It's not you that I'm laughing at, though. It's just...who would of thought our first time seeing each other in ages would be in a creepy graveyard with all these ruins around us. Even you can admit that it's kind of funny." Kieran said, sticking his tongue out at her childishly.

When he saw her cross her arms he gulped, noticing the way it made her chest look bigger even though he tried not to. In his mind a part of her would always be that little kid he helped, and he did not want to think of her as sexy, nope, not happening. But, she so was. "Same thing, I know his name too but that's not really important. Stay still for a few minutes while I deactivate this rune scheme. There will probably be others after this, but this one turns us into hamsters permanently and significantly shortens our lifespan if I mess up." he said. Taking a few moments to focus, he then began hitting different runes in the area one after the other. A little over three minutes later he stopped, having made an entire circuit around the place practically and he waited, letting out a sigh of relief when nothing happened. "One down."

"I can still kick you in your knees." Lucy answered. Watching.

She did have to laugh though as he spoke about them meeting like this. "Well that is true." She said, "But hey you caught me in worse positions." He had found her climbing outside the ravenclaw rooms on the exterior once so.....this wasn't anywhere near as bad. "Some might call it kinky."

Lucy wasn't entirely sure what made him gulp, and to be honest she didn't really care. "Hampsters......Seriously.......Hampsters."Least old dead people had a sense of humour at least. Better then a lot of modern day places she had visited.

When he came back she was sitting on a headstone, "No hamster?" She asked smirking a little. Watching him."So who are you graverobbing for? Gringotts?" Lucy asked, her tattooed hand facing him as she put her arm just underneath her chin. "You would have made a cute hamster." She teased

"Hey, no need to get violent. I've always known you were formidable, even back then." Kieran told her honestly. She'd been quick on the uptake with the spells and had always been fast. He was sure that if she'd wanted to she could take him out in a variety of ways.

"Don't remind me about that." he said, trying to push away the image. Instead it was replaced of the current Lucy climbing that tower, wearing less clothes and coming to see him before he squashed that thought firmly. She was his friend, his too young for him friend. "You find graveyards kinky? Just what are you into these days, necrophilia?" he asked, raising an eyebrow at her.

Kieran just shrugged and nodded. "Quite serious, I'm afraid. It might be fun being a hamster for a day, but I don't plan on getting stuck as one permanently." he told her. It was definitely one of the more unique guarding schemes he'd encountered in his work, he had to give it that.

He shook his head, taking a seat on one of the stones next to her. "No hamster. If I messed up or you stepped in the wrong place you would have been one too, so count yourself lucky." Kieran told her. Upon hearing her question he chuckled before answering. "I'm not working for anybody on this one, this was an individual venture, keyword was now that you're here." he said. For some reason her saying he would have made a cute hamster made him blush again. "Oh, quiet. I'd say you would be too, but honestly you're much more beautiful as a lady." he replied.
