It was the dead of night as Pierce found himself walking down the dark cobblestone path of Knockturn Alley. The sun had set many hours ago, taking any inkling of warmth with it. Pierce had the hood of his robes up to conceal his face as he headed towards a secluded corner of the alley that was draped in shadow. Taking his place in the dark, he quickly glanced at his watch as he began the waiting game.
Pierce wouldn’t normally be found wandering around Knockturn Alley in the middle of the night, but earlier that day, he was given the task of meeting up with someone that supposedly had information on the whereabouts of a few unregistered werewolves. So there he was now, waiting for the informant, unsure of who it even was or whether or not they would even show up. He kept a watch on the few people that were out and about but none of them seemed to be reason why he was there. So he decided to wait a few more minutes before pulling the plug on the operation.

Molly walked down Knockturn Alley, she shouldn't of been there. She knew that, but she didn't really care. She pulled her hood over her head, she didn't really want to be reckognized, because she knew her father would kill her. She walked down the Alley quietly and looked around. She had been dabbing into some dark magic, which was probably not the best thing in the world, she really didn't try to broadcast it though. She had felt a little far away from her family for a little while now, so she tried to hide most things from them.
Molly continued to walk along, before without any notice tripped over a pipe sticking out from the wall. "Ow," she said simply, Good job Molly staying unnoticed, great, she thought as she brushed the dirt off of her coat. She and tried to keep walking along without any hesistation. Now limping a little from hitting her ankle so hard.

Pierce remained at his post in the shadows as he continued to wait for the subject of his interest. His patience was wearing thin as he had been standing there for close to a half hour and it did not help any that he was starting to lose feeling in his feet from the cold. Just as he was about to call it off, his attention was drawn toward a small figure that seemed to be heading in his direction. Aware that this could possibly be the informant that he was waiting for, he grabbed his wand as a precaution, and continued to watch the figure.
As the person was just a few feet from Pierce, he was about to reveal himself when the presumed informer ran into a pipe that was jutting out from the wall. Smirking to himself and holding in a slight snicker, Pierce couldn’t help but think that is what they deserved for making him wait for so long. Then just as the unknown figure composed themself after their little stumble, Pierce raised his wand at them. “Drop your hood.” He ordered to ensure that he was getting his information from a trustworthy source.

Molly stopped mid step and let out a little scream. "Sorry... I'm not a werewolf, please don't hurt me!" She said as she dropped her hood and took a few steps back. "Please..." She said softly. She was usually a calm person but if someone was going to tell her to drop her hood when she doesn't even know the person it was a little scary. Molly looked at the guy, pulling out her wand, just in case not that she could even use magic outside the school but just in case.
Molly wasn't really sure what to say to this guy she was really starting to hope then that he wasn't a werewolf, because that would not go over well if he was. She was deadly afraid of them. Hopefully he was just someone to tell her to go back to the school or something like that. Hopefully. Molly then looked away from the man wondering if he was waiting for someone, he had seemed to appear out of nowhere. Although, there was a chance he'd just apparated in, right infront of hear... She didn't really think that was plausable though.

Pierce raised an eyebrow at the girl’s rash but amusing reaction. It was not at all what he was expecting. Perplexed at how shocked she was to his presence, he quickly realized that she was not the one that he had been waiting for. With an annoyed sigh, he lowered his wand. “I would put that away if I were you.” He said in regards to her wand, not about to take any chances with her, even if she seemed to be rather pitiful.
Lowering his hood so that he could see better, Pierce realized how young this girl really was. There was no way that she was even out of school yet. “Who are you and what is your business here?” He questioned her, wondering why an innocent looking girl like her would be out this late and in Knockturn Alley of all places.

Molly looked down at her wand which she had taken out of her pocket. She probably shouldn't have done that or said what she said next. "I'm not putting it away, no way." She snapped. He wasn't the boss of her. And well what if he tried to hurt her in some way. That wouldn't be too good of a situation.
Molly froze up a little bit when he asked who she was and why she was there. "I'm Molly Weasley, and I don't have to tell you why I'm here" she said simply. That wasn't happening nope, because she didn't really need other people to know why she was there, and he might tell someone. Her parents didn't need to know that she was wondering knockturn alley to find borgin and burkes at this time of night. Nor did her professors and she had a strong feeling that he might tell them. So, she decided to keep her mouth shut, as she shoved her wand back into her pocket, deciding that he probably wasn't going to hurt her.

Pierce eyed the girl with a smirk on his face at how childishly entertaining she was. “Ah, trying to be brave now are you?... Don’t worry, I won’t fall for it. Not with the way you were screaming earlier.” He replied to her sarcastically. Sarcasm was probably one of the things he was best at; he had even contemplated putting it on a job application at one point in time.
“Weasley, eh?” Pierce pondered out loud, recognizing the trademark red hair. “You’re right; you don’t have to tell me anything. But I suppose your dear old parents would love to hear all about your midnight escapades through Knockturn Alley, right?” He said simply with a grin. “And I am so sure that your headmistress would also be interested in this story too.” He continued, just having fun tormenting her. As of now, he had no intentions of rating her out, but he didn’t have to let her know that. He just wanted to scare her enough into not doing something this stupid and reckless again.

Molly just rolled her eyes as he said that she was trying to brave. She really wasn't she was just scared to death of strangers and this guy was definetly one, unless she met them in a controlled enviroment she did not want to talk to them at all. It was not something she liked, especially this guy, jumping out of nowhere and questioning her right away, like she was going to be polite to him, she was just being... cautious, it was in her nature.
Molly looked a little shocked at the threat. "If I tell you why I'm here will you not tell anyone? They can't find out, m-my parents would kill me, and I don't want to be suspended please? Please don't tell anyone?" She said in a serious tone. Molly knew her parents all too well to know that if her mother found out she wouldn't be aloud of the house the whole break, she probably wouldn't be aloud to owl any of her friends.. or anything. She knew when she left the castle that day she probably should have taken the most of precautions to not be seen. Why hadn't she? Now she was just feeling stupid.

Pierce frowned at how freaked out the girl was getting to his threats of telling her parents. He could only assume that her parents were the very strict type or that she was up to something that was none too good, or possibly both. But all he knew was that he didn’t want to have a hysterical underage witch on his hands. So he figured maybe actually telling her who he was would help ease her mind a bit. “First off, calm down… My name is Pierce Anderson and I work for the Ministry of Magic in the Werewolf Capture Unit. So basically, I am not going to hurt you, and you can relax a little.” He said in a bit friendlier manner than before.
“And second, if you tell me what you are here for then I’ll think about not informing your parents.” He purposed to her, just curious as to what she was actually up too. “If you think about it, it’s actually a pretty good deal. I mean seeing as you don’t really have any other options and all.” He said nonchalantly.

Molly listened to him explain about who he was and what he did... and that he wasn't going to hurt her. Molly looked at him and let out a little sigh of relief. Molly was still a little worried though because of him saying that he worked at the ministry, if he said anything about it to his ministry friends it could get back to her dad, he did work their after all, now she was worried about that more. Molly then looked down at her feet trying to decide if she should be polite or just pass it by, she decided on that.
She then looked up as he spoke again about telling him what she was doing there. "You'll think about not telling my parents? No, I'm not telling you unless I know you won't tell them." She said in a metter of a way. She didn't care if he thought she had no options, she couldn't however think of any other options she had, but she wasn't going to tell this guy what she was up to, that would be insane.

Pierce narrowed his eyes at the girl as she yet again refused to tell him what she was actually up to. She was actually starting to push his buttons a bit. It was quite late, rather frigid and he was late for a date with his mattress and pillow, and she was the last thing that he wanted to deal with at the moment.
“What makes you think that I’m going to bargain with a... fourteen year old?” Pierce questioned her with a raised eyebrow. He was now starting to ponder on if he should actually tell her parents. “Now how about you tell me before I decide to feed you to a nice hungry werewolf?” He asked, attempting to scare her into telling him.

Molly looked at him for a moment or two. Shouldn't be telling him, but she was really considering telling him what was going on. It may be a good idea, afterall. But she couldn't take the chance that he might tell her parents. She was just too worried that he might tell her father, she wouldn't even know how to explain to her father what she was doing their, or why for that matter.
Molly's eyes went wide when he said a fourteen year old. "Hey! I'm sixteen not fourteen," she snapped, she did not like being called younger then she was. When she heard what he said about feeding her to a hungry werewolf she wanted to tell him right away. "Y-You wouldn't actually feed me to a werewolf would you?" Molly stuttered and her eyes filled with tears at the fear. She was litterally scared enough to cry just thinking about it. If he was joking that wasn't even fair, not nice or fair at all.

Pierce laughed slightly as the girl flipped out over his comment of her only being fourteen. She was obviously very easy to provoke and he was starting to feel a little guilty about taking advantage of that fact. And that feeling of guilt only grew stronger once he saw that she was about to cry after he had mentioned feeding her to a werewolf. Now he felt quite horrible for tormenting her. He had always been completely useless against tears. Who could possibly be mean to someone that was crying? Not Pierce.
“Okay Miss Weasley, since you are almost of age, I guess that I could cut you one more deal.” He started, knowing that the only thing that would get her to calm down was to agree to not rat her out to her parents. “How about I won’t throw you to the werewolves and… I won’t tell anyone about this little ordeal if you don’t cry and you just tell me what brought you here?” He offered, figuring that scaring the piss out of her was punishment enough.

Molly looked over at him and her tears didn't stop right away but she wiped her eyes so that they would stop eventually. She normally wouldn't care about any of this, but as soon as he threatened to feed her to hungry werewolves that scared the hell out of her, it was her worst fear afterall, being eaten by a werewolf, or attacked in any way. It was just a really scary thought to her. So she listened to what he had to say about the deal he was throwing out there.
"Okay... I'll tell you, I haven't actually bought anything yet... I was still trying to find a store, Borgin and Burkes. I got lost and now I'm just wandering" she said very softly. She was glad that he wasn't going to tell her parents, because well, that would not be a good situation at all.

Pierce started to feel slightly relieved once the girl began to calm down a little bit. He wasn’t cut out for dealing with sobbing teenagers, let alone teenagers at all. He had always been terrible when it came to anything dealing with kids; hence why he chose a career that was supposedly child free.
Finally listening to her reason for being in Knockturn Alley in the middle of the night, Pierce’s jaw dropped in amazement. “Why on earth would you want to visit Borgin and Burkes? You do know what they sell there, right?” He questioned, giving her a look as if she was a total nutcase. He just could not fathom why a girl such as herself would ever want to set foot in a place filled with so much dark magic. He could only assume that there was something seriously wrong with her.
