Lalita had assumed Ivy would have things all taken care of, so she had taken advantage of the time away from the shack. Now entering the place once more she felt the chill of the building. The steps creaked as she walked up to the second floor and when she opened the door she found a stunned Dare. "Nice," She said with a nod of approval at him. "I brought you these," She said, turning to Ivy and handing her some fresh clothes and a lunch bag of food. She hadn't been sure if there was anything here, so she decided to not come in empty handed. Taking a seat next to the other Slytherin, Lalita asked, "What now?"

Ivy had sat up from her place on the bed where she had been laying on her stomach and reading a text book. "Thanks," she said, taking the clothes and the food. She had brought what she could from her short excursion to Diagon Alley and back, but it was nice to have something fresh from Lalita. She turned her back to the girl, "No looking," she said over he shoulder, then did a quick change as she spoke. "Right now we wait, but I don't think we're going to be waiting for long. Until Michael gets here, there's not much to do."

Lalita found a spot on the floor and stared at it while Ivy was getting changed. Now was not the time to have wandering eyes. "When do you think he'll get here?" There wasn't much to prepare, but to have an estimate would be nice. Of course, neither of them would really know for certain until the door to the shack opens.

"Don't know, but if it isn't soon I'll pop out and send him an owl," Ivy said, then turned around and sat down on the bed again. "So, when he comes, we're going to unstun Dare, right? And whenever I have time, cause I figure Michael will try to do something, I'll give you the signal, and I'll shoot the curse." She stopped then. They had been over this, Lalita knew what she was supposed to do.

Lalita nodded, she knew the plan for the most part, but going over it just seemed to make it better. It would be difficult to plan the spell for the exact moment, to think that if she did it wrong.....well she knew she wouldn't. The plan would work. Now all they needed was Michael to walk in and see it all. "Okay," Lalita said, her thoughts clearing up. "And the signal again is?" She just needed this last confirmation.

Ivy showed Lalita the signal, a simple flick of her hair and a couple quick blinks that wouldn't be noticed by a guy. "And if you miss it and hear me start saying the curse, then you know to do it," she added, shrugging. It was simple, really. Especially since she didn't think Michael would be thinking clearly enough to notice if there was a little inconsistency in timing or something.

Michael had become even more confused and angry when he had gone to the club only to have Dru tell him she hadn't seen Dare either. The only other place Dare could be was the Shack, and when Michael noticed a light on in one of the upstairs rooms, he pulled out his wand and headed in. He immediately heard voices, and though he couldn't figure out what they were saying, he recognized female voices.
He had latched onto the idea that Ivy was behind this, behind what Dare had done. He wanted to do something, he had to do something, and he hoped that he found Ivy soon, and maybe it all would be understood. He moved up the stairs, uncaring if there were spells set to alert whoever it was to his presence, and started toward the voices.

Ivy heard the steps, though she hadn't had any spells set up to warn her of people coming, and she flicked a glance over at Lalita before drawing her wand and standing. She took the stunning spell off of Dare and headed to stand by the door, wand ready to flick toward the door or Dare, whichever seemed more necessary.

When Dare faded into consciousness, his mind jumped to the same place it had any time he'd slipped into sleep over the past however many days; to Ivy. He blinked, trying to throw sleep off even before he realized what had happened, his eyes searching her out and finding both her and bloody Lalita. He blinked again as he picked up on the sound of footsteps, and his worn mind began to push the clues together. I'm thinking of finding Michael tonight. Show him where you've been hiding with Lalita. He was tied on the floor and Ivy was here. Michael wouldn't believe it, would he? Dare pulled the deepest breath he could and started to yell. "It's a trap! Their wands are on the door!" He'd go on as long as they let him.

Michael had been being at least a little cautious, until he heard Dare's voice. He didn't stop to think about the possibility that someone could be imitating him, or that he should probably come up with a plan, but jumped the last few stairs and rushed down the hall, looking into room after room until he came on one with a closed door. When he opened it, the sight shocked him for a few long seconds. There was Dare who, even tied up, reminded him and brought a surge of pain, and Ivy there with a wand along with some other girl. He aimed his wand at Ivy, "What's going on?"

Ivy couldn't have cared less that Dare was yelling. It was a very minor annoyance now that Michael was there and she could do the second part of her plan. What good timing Michael had. She held her wand to Michael and tilted her head at him. "I'm so glad you could join us, Michael," she said.

"Stun her!" Dare shouted, every wasting muscle tightening to see Michael, his heart seizing, though it all felt like a dream. He wanted out of this. He wanted untied, and he wanted to go home. They could owl the authorities on the way, he didn't care, but he didn't want to sit here watching a fight when he could leave this nightmare. "Stun them, she's up to something and if you get hurt, this isn't worth it!"

Stunning her would be too easy, and Ivy would most likely block it, so Michael hesitated. Even with the couple of hours he had had of sleep he wasn't thinking completely clearly yet, and he wanted to know what was going on before anything. He held his wand up to Ivy, aimed at her heart. "Tell me what happened, or I'll stun you."

"Go ahead and try," Ivy said, staring up at Michael without fear. She knew the curse she planned to use was unblockable, and there would be nothing Michael could do to stop it. "How did you like your days without your dear Dare?" she asked, "Did it hurt?" And how much more would it hurt when she did what she wanted?

"She's crazy!" Dare said, "And I'm fine. Don't listen to her. Stun her and take me home." He didn't want Ivy to push Michael over the edge. As much as he'd wished Michael would appear and give her the crucio he'd thought she deserved, revenge was a distant second to just going home.
