Hogwarts After Dark

Zhanita's boots dripped mud and grime all over the stone step entrance to the tavern, but as usual she didn't care. Gone for over seven years, she warily scanned the faces in the smoky room, and opted for a corner booth. Normally overlarge for a single person, Zhanita was a huge woman, coarse and muscalar, taller than most, but not fat. Every inch of her seemed to bulge not with female curves but muscle. Even her face was wide, and she grimaced at everyone who dared to look in her direction. A scar ran up the side of her face, and she made no attempt to hide it.
She drank freely from the pitcher of wine set in front of her, and wiped her mouth with the back of her arm. The rainwater dripped from her hair and cloak, and she ignored it for now, it was unimportant. Her main concern was catching up on the local gossip, and finding a sideline. Something to bring in the cash. Werewolf catching was slow. Most had caught on early, due to the 'accidents' most had while under her supervision or in transporting them. Very few, if any, lived to see their transformation back to humanity. So she needed something to keep her skills honed, her mind occupied, and the money flowing.

Miguel cringed as the swarthy, toad faced woman came into the bar. He wasn't really sure why he was here himself, but now that he was, he decided to be as inconspicuous as possible and leave at the first opportunity. Her boots were huge and made the ground tremble. He ducked his head and drank but he had lost his appetite. The woman was not only repulsive she was huge. She could probably knock him flat without even leaving her seat.

Someone to his left asked a question and he murmured quietly in response, "I am on my way to the school. There are openings for professors I've heard. Not the Defence position of couse, I would never take that one, but the other...perhaps ancient runes or transfiguration, I don't know yet..."

OOC: Hope I am welcome here Twisted Evil

Zhanita didn't even bat an eyelash at the mutterings of the scrawny pale man who had just given her such valuable information without even knowing it. Listening closely, she waited until she was sure no more information was coming, and she slammed down her drink, threw some galleons on the table, and left, the floor shuddering in her wake.

She knew where she was headed now.
