 ”THE LOSS OF POWER CAN KILL US; OR MAKE US KILLERS...” Dangerous was coming back to London to look for a past criminal he had thrown in jail before. However; what Arik was set on doing and where he was exactly hiding was not just dangerous, but insanely crazy that might just lead to his death or worse the capturing of him. The old man was moving at a fast paced among the streets late at night, a cloaking charm concealing him from others as best as he could. He was heading straight into Knockturn Alley but made a sharp left turn going between two buildings a small narrow alleyway that continued and turned. His wand emerged from his cloak as he stopped before turning the corner, he knew the person he wanted would be here in this small closed off alleyway. In a swift movement he turned around the corner his wand pointed ahead and he swished it in a sharp motion and with a small crack the younger than Arik but still older man flew back against the wall and hit the ground. ”Well…Bill good to see you...tell me did you give away Gerald?” said Arik picking the man up and pushing him against the wall his wand to the man’s skull. Words stammered from the man and Arik’s green eyes stared at the man as he awaited what he wanted to know.
”You’re smart not to lie to me…now you will won’t remember this my friend… I suggest you leave the country before your blood fills the cracks of this road… Obliviate”hissed Arik his voice, was sharp as steel and hot as fire. The man’s eyes dazed and went to the ground as he fell asleep as Arik gave a little smile. Gerald is still safe at least from the truth being exposed, but why has he not contacted me thought Arik he started walking out of the alleyway and into the Knockturn. He heard footsteps however, which interrupted his thoughts, his back hit the wall as he waited in the shadows for whoever it was to appear around the corner. template by Margie @ Adoxography v2 |

What’s life without living on the edge a little bit?
Alright, so Al’s life has been one hurdle after the other, so he honestly wasn’t looking for… thrilling moments or near-death-experiences or whatever. His life was a near-death-experience. He’d been on the run since the death eaters took over, since they blew up the auror office and he escaped.
Yet now, Al was walking through Diagon Alley like a normal person. It made him uneasy, sure, but he doubt that most passerbys would notice him. He’d never been in the public eye, and he’s gone for long enough that nobody really remembers him. The place has changed a lot, though not as much as Al thought it would. He was walking through Diagon Alley for memory’s sake. And it wasn’t like he had better things to do, so why not?
Dressed in normal wizarding robes, he turned into Knockturn Alley. He remembered the times he’d sneaked in here while his parents were shopping for James and Lily for schoolbooks and all that… Al let out a sigh. That seemed like forever ago. When he took safety for granted and actually went out of his way to look for danger.
Just as he turned, he saw a small flash of white. A silhouette. Part of a face. “Arik Waters?” he immediately thought. He’d seen the old auror many times in the past, since his father knew him well. But it can’t be. He died in a house fire…
His curiosity piqued, Albus turned another corner. But he was gone. Slightly annoyed, Al held on to his wand. It could’ve been a trick, to get him to be off guard… or maybe he imagined everything. or maybe Arik Waters was just that good of an auror. Al turned back around again. He should probably leave Knockturn before anyone finds out who he was.

”THE LOSS OF POWER CAN KILL US; OR MAKE US KILLERS...” As he waited in the shadows his hand clutched his wand, his heart not racing at all in fact it was almost silent. It was like he was a statue, not even a person no sound emitted from his body breathing seem to almost but all stopped from the old man. He knew how to hide from people from years of experience plus he had been doing it for the last three years, successfully fooling those with his family’s death and even his. Sure some knew, or expected they were alive but no real proof was ever coming out and that’s because no proof existed, as far as he knew. His grey eyes peered out of the shadows as he saw a young man, he recognized at once and one that should not be in Knockturn Alley, more so than Arik. Albus Potter thought Arik he gripped his wand, unsure of why the young Potter was in this area and alone.
He saw him start to turn away, apparently he must had seen Arik and was trying to find him but was leaving. Steeping forward, he made a small clearing of his throat as he stepped out of the shadows of the alleyway and looking right at Albus. ”Either brave or stupid to be in this area” spoke Arik as he motioned for the young Potter to follow him into alleyway he was in, knowing many people would not come by easily there. Plus Arik had no fear in being able to handle snatchers or any Death Eater coming around, if anything he didn’t want them to know he was alive. It ruined the whole element of surprise for him in this war. His eyes scanned the young Potter in front of him it, had been years since had seen him, couldn’t even remember if he saw him when the Ministry fell that day.
”It’s been a long time Albus but, I am sure you were smart enough to know a Potter in Knockturn Alley is an early Christmas present for these lunatics” spoke Arik his eyes glaring down at the younger man, however he was glad to see the young Potter and know he was alive as well.

Hand gripping his wand tightly, Albus started walking in the direction out of Knockturn Alley. Until, that is, he heard someone clear his voice behind him. Al spun around on his heels, alert. So there had been someone there, after all. But instead of raising his wand and maybe fire off a spell, Albus relaxed almost instantly. It was just Arik Waters.
”Either brave or stupid to be in this area”
Al looked at the older man levelly, shrugged a little, knowing that he was pretty stupid to have come. He lowered his gaze at the man’s next statement, a bit guilty. He knew better than to purposely put himself in harm’s way. His father, though adventurous and mischievous, definitely would not have approved of that.
Still, before he could say anything else, Albus blurted out, “… I thought you died.” And yes, it was true that Albus was glad to see him, he’d never been so glad to see anyone—since Arik Waters was the head of the department of magical law enforcement. It’s hard to not feel safe around him, seeing that he has years of training and experience, and as an auror too. Plus, his father trusted him. But all that led to another thought: Arik Waters was dead. How did Albus know he wasn’t a death eater trying to impersonate him? Al’s hand went back to gripping his wand tightly.

”THE LOSS OF POWER CAN KILL US; OR MAKE US KILLERS...” The man before him was the son of the person who later held his positon as Head Auror, as he ran the department. The man before him had been in training to be an Auror before the Ministry fell apart but; yet here he was relaxed and looking down after just seeing Arik face in years, and believing he was dead. Foolish boy the thought growled into his mind as he watched the young man with such intensity studying his moves. He could see how the grip on his wand had softened as he had realized it was him Arik, it had been extremely obvious how relaxed he gotten. He nodded at what the younger man blurted out of his mouth that he thought he had died. This just strengthen his disappointment in all of Albus reactions, if he had been a Death Eater imposing as Arik, than a Potter’s blood would be filling Knockturn Alley.
He didn’t respond yet to him waiting to see if the reaction he wanted would finally hit the younger Potter. Within moments it did as he saw Albus grip grow tighter on his wand, he was not as relaxed anymore. Took damn long enough thought Arik, not happy at all. ”About damn time you be on your guard! Just because you see a friendly face doesn’t mean they are truly them Albus, you relaxed too soon. You would have been dead by now”growled Arik he liked the younger Potter and that is why he was hard on him. In theory, Arik was hard on all of his Aurors, Hit Wizards, and even the lawyers as well, that is how he did it when he had the job. ”I expect better from you Albus, but it is really me. I did not perish in the manor attack, however; my family was not as lucky”spoke Arik looking down a little to show sadness, but more because it was a lie and for some reason he felt wrong lying to Albus Potter.

al knew he'd screwed up. he'd let his guard down way too early, and, had he finished his training instead of merely started, his response would've been very different. being on guard wasn't second-nature to him, like the other, more experienced aurors. to be entirely honest, he still had the mentality of someone fresh out of Hogwarts. sure, he was good with defense against the dark arts and is quite capable with magic, but sometimes, his lack of experience put him in dangerous positions.
"exactly, then…" al said. "all due respect, mr. waters, if you were a death eater, i would've been dead by now." he didn’t really mean to talk back; in fact, he kept his voice calm and respectful. even though arik had perished in a fire a while ago… well, deep inside, he supposed, he always believe that it wasn't that easy to kill arik waters. a fire? pshhh. he was, however, still trying to get the shock if seeing him out of his system.
at his next statement, al's gaze hardened. "so you just lied to us, this whole time?" al asked. past his elation of seeing him, he felt slightly… betrayed. the last year had been hard. from losing his friends also in training, to being on the run, being away from family… this was not how he'd imagined his life to have turned out. and arik, one of the few people who could've helped, was nowhere to be found. probably hidden, biding his time. al felt a bit of resentment creeping up as he looked at the older man. still, though, his gaze softened again as arik mentioned his family. "i'm sorry about your family." he added softly, afterwards.

”THE LOSS OF POWER CAN KILL US; OR MAKE US KILLERS...” He looked up as Albus started speaking, giving a little smirk at the line if Arik, truly had been a death eater than the young Potter would have already been dead. That was one possibility that a Death Eater coming upon a Potter would instantly kill them. That is a dumb one, a smart one like the late Bellatrix or even the Dark Lord would have known to capture them and use them as leverage. Something I would do thought Arik knowing he had done it in the past but not for evil, for the reasons of good. Sure maybe a few times were for self-serving purposes, but in the end it was all for the greater good with Arik. Wasn’t it? ”Don’t be so sure my friend…would not surprise me if they use a Potter or Weasley as leverage now. Family can be a strength or a weakness, just depends how they will be exploited” said Arik rather calmly. He was somewhat amazed the man’s voice was respectful he had been awaiting some people’s responses of him being truly alive, being less calm or respect.
He nodded his head and thought Ah, here we are as Albus spoke once more, this time his gaze was hardened. He waited for the man to finish his question and just looked at him, he gave no ill gaze to the question the man said. He knew it would be coming and had expected such a question from Albus Potter. ”Yes I lied. I needed to be able to travel freely without the need of a target on my back. If you guys knew I was alive and were compromised everything I’ve done while in hiding would be for nothing” spoke Arik in his regular voice, he had no intentions of apologizing. The only people who needed an apology would be his wife and family once they could come out of hiding. For now however; to everyone they were dead.
He nodded at what he had said about being sorry for his family, looking at him showing sadness in his eyes. It was true sadness he had not seen them for the last three years with them even being alive. ”Thank you…I was too late to help them. I thought my protections were strong enough to prevent such an attack, however I failed. “ spoke Arik, knowing full well everything he said was a lie as he had done it all himself. Albus can’t know, his own safety thought Arik as he looked at the younger man.
