Cora rolled her eyes “Oh goodie more people” unfortunately Cora didn’t warm up to people especially females. Men on the other hand were easily moldable and easily swayed, you offered them the right things and Bam they were putty in your hands. She had no reason to warm up to them in her short twenty-five years she learned that being evil left no room for love and she supposed that was her punishment. All her power and all her choices came at a price and the way Dathan spoke of his female friend reminder her of a boy she once knew in school. Shaking that thought from her head she walked forward, the magic
She felt from the wards wrapped around as if to tell her she’d be safe. “Hopefully she’s not coming here, I don’t want a lot of people knowing about this place or seeing it, if I didn’t trust you as much as I do I’d oblivate you” she said as if it was the most natural thing in the world. She opened the box and took out her wand, she hadn’t been captured with it nor had she killed with it. She didn’t want anyone but her to ever touch the beautiful peace of work, as she turned it over in her hand she led Burke to the garden and pointed to a sole bush at the very edge. “You might want to get some gloves the little suckers are venoms and have the tendency to bite” she didn’t mention that the ingredient was live, she just got pleasure out seeing people try and harvest it.

Dathan darted Cora a look at the sarcasm. He wasn't looking forward to Cora and Morgaine meeting. One particular reason was because Morgaine now wore a necklace that belonged to Cora's ancestor, though the necklace had changed ownership a few times after Victoria Veltrino's death.
"I'm not expecting you to sit down and have tea and plum cake with us if that's what you're worried about," said Burke.
Cora spoke of not wanting Morgaine at the Veltrino house and that was fine with Dathan. He didn't want to be in the place either.
"How touching," said Dathan when Cora said she would eliminate him from the equation if it wasn't for the built trust.
When Cora recommended the gloves, Dathan removed his from his jacket and placed them on.
"Reminds me of someone I know," said Dathan when Cora spoke of the venom and tendency to bite. It seemed the witch's sarcasm was rubbing off on him a bit. "Well then are we almost done or do you want to be nostalgic and bask in being at your old home again?" He hoped she would say no. They were far too busy for an extended stay there. Plus, once the Draught was finished, she could go back and bask in the place all she wanted until she was needed again.

Cora looked towards Dathan with a dark look, not at the comment but with suspicion “There’s something you’re not telling me Dathan dear” she wasn’t accusing him of anything, she was stating mere fact. As much as she would enjoy for Dathan to get his hands bloody she walked over to the bush and pointed her wand at it, smoke billowing out caused some of the creatures to fly unsteady. Conjuring a glass jar with holes in it she opened the top. She wouldn’t get her hands dirty with such things, she had no gloves or patients for such task. Cora at heart was a pureblood princess minus the never having to lift a finger bit, sighing she waited for Dathan to pick up the fallen creatures and place them in the jar, no magic could be used on them in fear of ruining the potion.
“So is this lady friend as old as you or is she a young thang?” she said smirking, she loved riling him up, Dathan was possibly the only guy she meet that could return her barbs tit for tat.

If there was one thing Dathan had been annoyed with since Morgaine had joined the army, it was all the damned assumptions that she and he were nothing but lovers. Burke's love for Morgaine was deeper than any romantic one. It was even deeper than the bond of a brother and sister. What the two had was special and rare. She was the ultimate soul mate in his view. And whoa to any who chose to tarnish that. He looked at Cora coldly.
"If you must know, she is younger," he said. "But hear my words, Cora, if you say anything derogatory to her or I regarding our relationship, then... well you have seen me at my darkest."
He then went back to business, picking up the creatures and placing them in the jar. He felt Cora needed to learn to do more of these things for herself. While she could get her hands dirty committing crimes against the Ministry, she could learn to get them dirty in other ways too.
"There," he said. "All collected. Can we leave this place now?" Burke wanted to say a few harsh words about Veltrino Manor to add to it, but there was no point in getting into an argument over it and detaining them further.

Rolling her eyes she sighed "I'm way past school yard antics Dathan dear so don't get those 19th century knickers in a twist, i was merely implying as to why you are so hesitant to have us meet. I can pick up surface emotion you know, after having nothing to do for three odd years you practice such things" she said referring to her Legillimency gift. She took the jar and put it in a bag she had summoned from somewhere in the house and used her wand to dispose of the smoke.
The creatures whose name she would not say kept her garden safe. She looked around the house and sighed she knew that it would be back to it's usual glamor when she returned. The house elves had spotted her "I'm happy for you, i guess it's about time you found someone you liked." As far as she remember Dathan was a loner perhaps this girl even got the man to smile on occasion, it would help with his wrinkles.
She could tell he wanted to say something about her Manor and she glared at him coldly but nodded none the less. he was the only one that could get away such obvious disrespect and of course thinly veil threats.

Dathan nodded. Perhaps he was over-thinking it. After all, what would the two do to one another. Both were needed by the Dark Lady, and any member of the Black Army would be a fool to do anything rash and spoil the plot.
"Fair enough, Cora," he said. "And you both will meet soon, and I'm sure you'll be quite civil to one another.... quite civil."
Dathan nodded again when Cora said she was happy for him. He didn't believe her of course, but again there was no use in arguing.
"She's a wonderful companion indeed," he said. "But anyway, let's move along."
(Bumping up if it's cool. You can close up whatever other business you wanted to do at the manor.)
Once they returned to Burke's shop, it was time to go to work. While Dathan had no idea that Daniel Valentine had found a copy of the other ingredients, he did have other duplicates made as various members needed the list. He had one of his own as well of course, along with the instructions to make the potion. He cleared off a table and placed the proper lab equipment and other ingredients on it. He then turned to Cora.
"Shall we begin?" he asked.

Cora nodded she was ready to leave and she held out the portkey once more, it was impossible to appirate from anywhere on the manor with the anti-apparition wards in place. She liked how the house was guarded tighter than Azkaban, none of her prisoners had ever escaped.
Once they had arrived at the shop Cora quickly pulled out a pair of gloves and put them on, taking out the jar she put it on the table. She was adept at making this potion, she had made it before but she wondered if Dathan’s lady friend was helping. No matter Cora got right down to business, her part was preparing the special ingredient for the draught and if Dathan needed help afterwards he just needed to ask.
She waited until the water in the cauldron was boiling hot and she dropped the creatures in one by one stirring every couple of minutes, and waving her wand over the cauldron. She watched as the venom began to seep out of the creatures and when the creatures seemed to thin she conjured a pair of tongs and took the skeletons out. ‘There, it’s a bit morbid but most thins involving my family are.”
“Everything is normal from here on out, except… you have to be very precise, one pinch of ingredient off and it has a nasty effect. Want me to prepare the ingredients?” she asked Cora was a bit to focused on the task to remember to be sarcastic and snarky. Perhaps he wanted his lady friend to join in and help him make then he could do so…she had did her part and helping with the ingredient,

Dathan smirked at Cora's warning about being off on the ingredients.
"Well, when one thinks about it, we're very much going for a nasty effect," he said. "However, we don't want to let our mistress down, so I'll leave the preparation of this concoction for you."
Dathan stepped over and prepared himself some tea. It was unwise to have more whiskey at this point. If Cora needed his aid, he needed to be sober and alert. Meanwhile, Eligos had entered and sat and stared at the woman. Her scent was a familiar one. Dathan had obviously worked with her before. Therefore, his look was one of more curiosity than aggression. Just because she didn't give off a likable vibe didn't mean that he was going to compromise her and his master's work together by attacking her.
Dathan passed the wolf and gave him a pet on the head as he stepped over to Cora again.
"I trust you'll be staying at your home after this?" he asked. He did so because he really didn't want her staying with him. For one, he only found favor with her on a "professional level", and two it would be quite awkward for himself and Morgaine.

Cora rolled her eyes at that as she prepared each of the ingredients and threw them into the ingredients. She had this potion memorized like the back of her hand, she had been taught how to make all the potion deemed dark by her father. Looking back she was probably prepared for stuff like this since day one, her parents had then been alive would be proud of her.
Unfortunately for Cora that thought didn’t warm her heart, it was impossible to do such things, of course Dathan had found extreme content in his lady friend, made him less of a stiff than she remembered. She had put the last of the ingredients in it and had resorted to stirring it every so often.
“Okay it’s done” she said as the potion glowed blue, she removed her gloves and looked around for things to contain the potion in.
“What is this stuff for anyway??” she couldn’t remember if Dathan had told he what the potion was going to be used for but either way she didn’t care…she was just curious.
“Oh, I need something to put it, too much exposure to air weakens it.’ she said putting a conjured lid over the cauldron.

Dathan watched as Cora went to work. He had to give her credit. For a bloody psychopath, she was skilled in the art of potions. He gave a simple nod though when she was done. No "good job" or "well done" or any other complimentary rubbish.
When Cora asked what it was for, Dathan smiled. Cora had not heard the plan, and if he could do her any favor, along with the release from Azkaban, it would be to delight her with the Dark Lady's plan.
"This potent form of the Living Death Draught that you have just concocted is vital to the Black Army's takeover of Hogwarts," he said. "Now that I know how to make it by observing you, we will be making it in mass and spreading it about the perimeter of the castle. That way no one... on bloody Dumbledore's Army or Order of the Phoenix can get in or out. And I trust that along with the recipe for the Draught, you also know the protection spell to ensure we are immune from it when we strike."
Dathan then brought out the vials that the potion could go into. Once they were poured in, the vials were sealed shut.
"Now that this is done, there is one more matter of importance that you can aid me with," he said. "Between now and the time of the strike, I need you to help me make sure that any snooping Aurors that make their way here are eliminated."

Sweet, sounds like im got out just in time” Cora was of course being sarcastic, the only reason why she was broken out was because they needed the protection spell and the ingredient along with how to prepare it. She wasn’t at all stupid, while some people might think her insane and of course she was a psychopath she could admit that but unable to comprehend a situation wasn’t a quality she possessed.
After she taught the Dathan the protection spell knowing he’d be more than adequate at teaching it to the other members he she looked at him with a predatory smile “Im assuming you have a list of names you want me to check out? It’s a been awhile since I had some fun.’
Maybe she was more than a bit blood thirsty but she honestly thought it gave her a dangerous appeal and of course made her reputation all the more awesome. She wondered if she could start a rumor like that Elizabeth chick, the one who bathed in her victims blood to be more beautiful….did that even work she would have to look into that. @dathan

(Wrapping up on my end)
Burke produced the list of names and handed it to her with a smirk.
"What good dark wizard doesn't carry around a list of names?" he asked. "Pay special attention to one Daniel Valentine. He managed to leave my shop once. He won't be doing so a second time if he comes around snooping. Theodore Nott is on there too, patriarch of one of the Wizarding World's most prominent families. His wife is a cousin of the Minister himself. There are more there of course- among them Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and even your old friend Grimp."
Eligos then stepped over and sat by his side.
"Now if you'll pardon me, I am going to retire for the night," he said. "If you must stay about here, try not to get into anything. As you know, many of the items in here have a very... sensitive nature to them. Good night, Cora."
And with that, Dathan turned and made his way to his bedroom, his wolf following behind.
