Will managed to shock the good doctor into silence. She was proud of herself. The man was a psychiatrist she knew from the get to go that it would take something extreme to shock him. Thankfully with the information provided by Lucius and with the help of the three deranged voices in her head she managed quite fine. She let Tom a little too much to the surface, but out of all of them Tom was the only one confident enough to appear naked in front of strangers. Well that and the fact that the man had no shame even before he died. Severus kept an eye on anything and everything. While the ferret helped her to sound more distinguished and mysterious than she actually was.

She hadn't taken the glamour off in years.  She felt strange without it. Now the only glamour that she still put on before leaving for the day was the one on her face. Years passed but the lightning bolt scar was still wildly recognized. She couldn't get out in society without being recognized if she had the scar on display and that would defeat the purpose of her running far away from the British Isles.

Will would admit that seeing the doctor, Hannibal, as he insisted she call him, so ruffled gave her an immense amount of satisfaction. It's been a while since sh played games like this but in her defence he started first. Childish maybe, but she hadn't lost a game yet and she didn't intend to lose this one. The amalgam of emotions passing Hannibal's face was funny to watch. When she first opened the door she saw his eyes going wide, scanning her body before settling on her face. Will could see the struggle he was going to, trying to form words that didn't want to leave his mouth. He got his bearings after she covered up but the damage was done she knew.

He was atractive. He was handsome, not in a topical way no, more unconventional like Severus had been. He had broad shoulders and a well defined face. Sharp eyes and nimble fingers. He was intelligent and well mannered. He was also incredibly curios about her. A thing she observed from the first meeting. Calculated eyes scanning her, observing every move. He tried to get under her skin, a thing she respected. It seemed like it backfired.

The meal presented to her was a surprise. She of course, because of her childhood, accepted the food he graciously provided. She wasn't one to reject a meal. And that was the moment it became interesting. She didn't recognize the meat, but Tom did. As soon as the lid was off and a piece of sausage was in her mouth Tom began laughing like a maniac. He was the only one who had tasted human flesh before. As much as she hated agreeing with the resident psychopath, she began to believe that them and Hannibal had a lot more in common than she first assumed.

She found it didn't bother her as much as she first assumed. The taste of human flesh didn't gave her any negative feelings. Oh... How the mighty have fallen. If her "friends" could see her now. Sharing a meal with a cannibal and enjoying every bite she took form the meal he provided.

Now they were together in the car going to a construction site following the lead that Katz had found on Elise Nicholson. No music in the car as usual. There were a lot of people talking already she didn't need somebody singing as well.

"He recovered quickly." Severus said.

"He is a psychopath. Like us."  Chirped Tom.

"Like you, you mean" Draco snarked.

"Get off your high horse boy. None of his are sane here. Just look where we are." Tom responded.

"I believe that he is attracted to you." Snape remarked.

"The question is. Are we attracted to him? I personally am." Tom said and she could practically see him in her mind licking his lips.

"Since when are you attracted to men?"  Draco said.
