There is Hope to Bring Out the Best
(OOC: Combined threads from the previous site)
Richard
Richard had done his research for his talk with the person about to walk through his office door. He had Owled Seth Wright at the Ministry of Magic and confirmed information. He had been in contact with the Psychology section at St. Mango’s Hospital, to find medical background so he would hopefully have some control over the meeting. Richard was worried, his ability to talk and reason with people had come in handy during most of his business life on the Herbology Lecture Circuit and for some very special people he still had contact with outside the school.
Opening up his journal he made some notes, then placed the book and quill behind the door of a secret enclose he had fashioned into his office wall behind his desk. The journal and pen would now record anything said in the office. Richard wanted a written record of this part of the meeting. Also, if anything went wrong there would be some record of the people there. A spell had been placed on the writing items to hide the record from everyone, except himself and Darik, his new friend. Richard had not told Darik or anyone else about this meeting.
During the meeting Richard was hoping to move to someplace else because his office would not allow Anthony to be relaxed, but he could not figure out where that place world be without prying eyes. He thought of the Shadow Lounge, but he was not ready to let Gab (and thus Sasha and Tarik besides others he did not know yet) into the situation. He would let Anthony name four spots to move the meeting to and then decide between the four. It would be interesting to find out what four spots he would name.
The knock at the door, pulled Richard out of his thoughts. Mentally calming his breathing and body he said, “Come in Anthony, it is unlocked,”
Anthony/Chameleon
The Chameleon had been worried ever since his last encounter with the Herbology Professor. He had no idea what his true self had told or showed Richard Greene. He had informed his uncle immediately afterwards. Dark Shadow had given special instructions in regards to the man. He was ordered to find out all he could about Professor Greene. His uncle agreed that the man was way too skilled to be want he claimed to be.
When he had told his uncle about the man saying that Greene had insured that they would speak again. Dark Shadow had smiled and told Chameleon to make sure that the meeting would happen at either the Three Broomsticks or Hog's Head. Chameleon smiled as he realized that his uncle wanted to see this man and without the professor seeing him.
Afterwards, Chameleon told his uncle his fear that his true personality was endangering the operation. His uncle had gotten furious and made sure Chameleon knew what was at stake. Then he had been told that since Chameleon was not able to keep the Auror side under control, his uncle would see what his cousin was able to do.
Looking at the note again, The Chameleon smiled as he had already sent a message to his uncle that just said, "Show Time!". Once Greene and he got to the meeting spot, his uncle had somebody at both spots that would signal so that Val would know where the meet went down. This professor might have gotten one up on him but very soon he would realize exactly why he should have stay to teaching the students.
The knock at the door, pulled Richard out of his thoughts. Mentally calming his breathing and body he said, “Come in Anthony, it is unlocked,”
The Chameleon walked in the office and said with venom, "So you wanted to talk, professor?"
(OCC: I have Josh permission to say what was say about his character Val)
Richard
Richard stood up when Anthony walked in the room, walked around his desk and walked so he was standing about three feet away from the man. He had to try and play this right. The note Darik had found in the Caretakers room gave hints of Anthony being in more trouble than any thought. Richard called the St. Mango’s Hospital and talked with the librarian of the teaching part of the medical facility.
He had been told the instructions and medicine was used for among other things Multiple Personality Disorder. Richard was determined to help the Auror. At the moment he was not sure who he was really talking too. Until he was able to establish characteristics, he would have to talk as if he was speaking to Anthony since that was the one personality he wanted to dominate. He had gone over their first real meeting in the dungeons and tried to pinpoint any difference from when Anthony first turned up and when Richard had left. Nothing concrete could be established from only one meeting.
“Hello, Anthony, thank you for coming. Please call me Richard. Would you like to have a seat?”Richard motioned to the two comfortable chairs in front of his desk.
“We got off to a really bad start the other day. Anthony, first I would like to apologize for my actions. I also want to protect the children of the school. Would you like some tea or something to drink?”
Sitting in the unused chair, Richard continued with half a smile on his face. “Being an Auror, and from what I understand Anthony, you are a very good one, I know you will understand when I say I checked out your story. Seth agreed he had sent you, and although he could not give me any details, which is understandable Auror, he said I could trust you.” If it was not Anthony who had walked in the door, maybe he could get close to having Anthony show up soon.
“To try and build the trust between us, I have a suggestion. What if we move this meeting to a place we can both be comfortable with? You give me five places you would be safe and I will pick one of them. Anthony I really do want to try and work together, for the school and the kids.” Richard would now have to see what the next step would be. The experts he had talked with said it could be a very long process, with gains and setbacks. First the real Anthony would have to be established. One doctor told him the one in control, may not be the real personality, just the strongest at the moment. He also said others may be trying to bring one of the personalities for their own purposes. It would be an uphill battle.
Anthony
“Hello, Anthony, thank you for coming. Please call me Richard. Would you like to have a seat?”Richard motioned to the two comfortable chairs in front of his desk.
The Chameleon wondered what this professor was up to. The way the man had done a one-eighty had the Echelon member worried. He wondered if the man might have some clue as to his secret. That had to be impossible as The Chameleon had destroyed anything that he found in relationship to the connect Anthony had made about his blackouts. The fool had actually thought The Chameleon won't realize that the Auror was trying to get rid of him. He would have made sure that all of them stayed in line. That fool of a friend had told Anthony that the medicine would cure him as if Anthony was sick. He wouldn't hear of it, he not Anthony was in charge now. The Chameleon would do whatever it took to stay in charge as that fool of a friend had found out. The man had wanted to meet the dark side, well Chameleon made sure that it was the last thing he had ever seen. The Auror would never take the medicine as Chameleon always made sure that Mirabeau couldn't find it.
Right now, the Chameleon had to stay in control. He would show this Herbology Professor who was stronger as he said still with venom, "Cut to the chase, Professor as I don't waste my time!" He was still standing by the door.
“We got off to a really bad start the other day. Anthony, first I would like to apologize for my actions. I also want to protect the children of the school. Would you like some tea or something to drink?”
The Chameleon smirked as he realized that this guy was trying to befriend him. The Chameleon could use that to his advantage. He would play this guy's game as it might prove informative. Turning his smirk into a small smile, he said coldly, "I was headed to get a drink when I got your message."
Sitting in the unused chair, Richard continued with half a smile on his face. “Being an Auror, and from what I understand Anthony, you are a very good one, I know you will understand when I say I checked out your story. Seth agreed he had sent you, and although he could not give me any details, which is understandable Auror, he said I could trust you.” If it was not Anthony who had walked in the door, maybe he could get close to having Anthony show up soon.
That was interesting as he had broken all contact with Seth Wright when Daniel had been killed. That meant that the only times Seth could have gotten a report was during the few times that Anthony had regain control. That was unwise on Anthony's part as Dark Shadow hated the man. That weakling of an Auror was not going to betray the family yet again; The Chameleon was going to see to that. He could feel the slip coming, and had already been prepared for Anthony's appearance. This time the Auror would keep his mouth shut and the little note in his pocket would see to it. Anthony would also follow through with the plan or see his family suffer.
His hand reached into his pocket and wrapped around the note as the change happened. The Chameleon was not worried as he knew his uncle would see him back in control before any real damage was done.
“To try and build the trust between us, I have a suggestion. What if we move this meeting to a place we can both be comfortable with? You give me five places you would be safe and I will pick one of them. Anthony I really do want to try and work together, for the school and the kids.” Richard would now have to see what the next step would be.
Anthony pulled his hand out of his pocket. He read the note quickly before placing it back in his pocket.
Auror,
Keep your mouth shut this time! The Professor asked for a meet. Hog's Head or 3 Broomsticks, anywhere else and uncle won't be pleased. Understood!
Chameleon
P.S. Get him talking, or else!
Anthony understood loud and clear as he said calmly, "How about the Three Broomsticks or Hog's Head? It was where I was headed before your message came." He would just have to hope that he wasn't taking this man to his death. He might be able to give the man a head's up and just hope that Greene would not let on. His family's very lives were in the hands of the very men he had swore to bring to justice. He just hoped this man had not been stupid and mention Seth.
Before turning to leave the room, he did a non-verbal spell to drop the note where Greene was sure to find it. Then with a clear voice, Anthony asked, "Which one Greene?" He hoped that the man understood that if they had talked earlier he had no clue as to what was said.
The walk would give them time to talk as he saw another note leave his other pocket and enter Greene's hand. He wondered how Greene knew that he was right-handed as the note from Chameleon was in his left pocket. He watched to see what Greene would do with his report to Seth and just hoped that it would get to his god-father.

• As cham. and as Anthony repeated about going to hogshead or 3 broom sticks
Richard had noticed a subtle change come over Anthony. At first he seemed cocky and self arrogant. His stature gave off the idea he was ready for a fight at any moment. His shoulders were rigid and his left hand was poised to grab something. In another moment, Anthony’s body became visibly more relaxed, his voice although still holding hardness, did not seem to be judging every word. “Although I would prefer choices which did not include bars, I will choose the Hogs Head. There are places there we can talk quietly and not have to worry about being interrupted.” Green was hoping he also would not be seen by too many of the school occupants. When Sasha had asked for his help he had put that darker part of his life on hold.
“There is no chase Anthony.
Apparently the present Anthony was right handed. The one who had walked into his office was left-hand, because that was the hand which had reached into the pocket and came out empty. Richard wondered what was in the pocket. He had to know so he checked. Hoping he was not play his cards wrong, Richard retrieved the note from Anthony’s left pocke.. He looked at Anthony with only questions in his eyes, but decided to wait on any verbal questions.
The note in hand, he followed Anthony out the door. Outside the office he said, “Hold on a moment Anthony, I forgot money for the tavern.” With this he quickly walded back in the office and read the note from Anthony’s pocket. It was signed “Camilleon”, which must be at least one of Anthony’s other personalities. He also retrieved the paper from the floor which Anthony had tried to hide the fact he had dropped it. Richard skimmed the second note then opened the wall cubby hole where the pen was still poised to write and said in a whisper, “Heading with Anthony to Hog’s Head. Notes are from Anthony’s pockets, Two personalities and counting. Richard resealed the whole which only he and Darik could open, grabbed some money from the top drawer of his desk and headed back into the hall.
Counting the money as he left his office, to help verify his story, he said. “Ok ready now.” They would walk to town, so if Richard could keep Anthony in control maybe he could discover what he needed to, so he could keep Anthony in control. He waited for Anthony to say something and pick the subject.

“There is no chase Anthony.
The Chameleon said with venom, "I meant Get To The Point or I'm Out of Here!" This guy had really gotten on his nerves. Chameleon smiled though not very nicely.

When Greene still had the note for Seth in his hand, Anthony stopped. He knew that Shadow hated Seth and if the man saw that note. Well Anthony was not going to take that chance. He kept looking at the notes and at Greene's door. The man seemed to get the message as he said something about money and went back inside. All Anthony knew was if Greene let on what he was just warned about they were both dead men as was his family. Shadow had already killed several Aurors, though Anthony still had no proof.

He waited for Anthony to say something and pick the subject.
Anthony saw Greene come out with no notes. He smiled as he said in a whisper, "I am a tea man myself mostly. Trust is hard when you're new." To anybody listening he hoped it sounded normal. Anthony was trust this guy but if he was wrong it was his family that paid the price. Anthony hoped and prayed that he was right about Richard Greene and the man thought fast on his feet. His uncle would be watching.
As they started walking to Hog's Head, Anthony said quietly in the one language Chameleon did not know Chinese, "You let on, we are both dead. So far it seems uncle's curious, let's keep him that way. See the note gets where it needs to go. Once there, try to keep me drinking tea or I'll be no help. Though don't push to much as very few know my secret. Also check on my friend as I have not heard from him since I saw him." He allowed the worry to appear on his face as he had a feeling the man was dead.
