[b]"Oh do you [i]really[/i] think i'm after your reputation?"[/b] Acacia chuckled coldly. [b]"No, no, you have no reputation to speak of. As far as everyone is concerned, you're just another Slytherin bound to become a dark wizard. I'm after something much...better."[/b] She gave Casimir a cold smile as she finished the sentence, and took a long look at the teachers table before turning her attention back to Casimir. [b]"Considering your already bad reputation, it wouldn't be hard to make people start thinking you practice dark arts. In fact, I think most people already think you do. Do you see that man sitting over there with the teachers? The one who looks a bit out of place?"[/b] She said, motioning towards the table, in the direction of Finch. [b]"I'm willing to bet, judging from the look of him, he's from the ministry. Maybe he's an Auror, or some other high ranking official. He may not know you too well, or really care. But if he is from the ministry, then, lets say some evidence turns up at his door that you do practice Dark Arts? Along with your already bad reputation and the new condemning rumors some Slytherin might start spreading, well, it's easy to see where the investigation would lead, if there even was one."[/b]

She of course, had no evidence to base the claim that he was from the ministry on, other from the fact he slightly reminded her of her brother. He had the same look to him as Finch did. Hopefully, Casimir didn't know this, or have any information she didn't have. In any case, she really didn't think Casimir cared in the grand scheme of things. He wasn't one for sticking to the rules and was just as much of a trouble maker she was. He was just more...open about it. This little conversation was boring her though, as she had more important things she would like to attend to. Like make sure the Slytherins understood that Willow was to be treated like one of them, at least, for now. She would humor Casimir, for a bit longer, however.
