"And I'm-Jesus!" Julian yelled as Sophia swung the gun around. "What the hell! Right, I'm Julian. Not Jesus."
He found a small box with his name on it and cautiously unwrapped it. Inside was a lighter made of silver with an engraving of a smiling cat on one side and a rabbit on the other. It felt strangely familiar in his palm, almost like deja vu. He flicked it open and pushed the grinder down. Out leapt a purple flame intertwined with green spirals, unfolding as it licked upwards.

Tanya inhaled and let the cold air flow through her until her bones felt thoroughly chilled. She then exhaled with a small shiver and looked around the garden. The weather was perfect outside, and she intended to enjoy every moment of it, unless something better came along of course. That's how Tanya had always lived her life; always moving forward, never looking back. Moment to moment. For instance, one moment she had been running from death eaters, and the next she was a member of the Ashes. Deep down she knew it wasn't always the most responsible way to live, but it certainly kept things interesting. And now she was here, outside of a fancy mansion attempting to practice her jinxes. If it were up Tanya, she'd be back inside exploring every nook and cranny of the building's endless rooms, but it would probably be easier without the all-seeing Aldenberg staring her down.

Squatting down in front of a manicured hedge, Tanya rolled up the sleeves of her robe and pulled her wand out from her jeans. She'd start with something basic. Tanya pointed her wand at the hedge.
"Engorgio!"
The hedge remained still. Confused, Tanya looked at her wand and then back at the hedge. Why was nothing happening? She began inspecting her wand when movement and a soft rustle of branches caught her attention. Tanya slowly looked back up and found that her spell had worked after all. Crawling up from behind the hedge was a caterpillar now the size of a small dog. The insect had a pale yellow color to it with black spots on top and short bristly hairs sticking out all over.
"Well, that answers that," she said with a satisfied smirk. "Now. Do I let you run free good sir?"
The caterpillar blinked its beady eyes and started to crawl away from her.
"Hey! Where are you g-" A loud bell interrupted her and she instinctively snapped her head towards the noise. Turning back, she found herself staring at an empty hedge. "Oh boy." Tanya stood up and circled the hedge and then spotted it skittering off the path and out of sight. She started to follow it, but a second thought stopped her. This could be interesting later on.

With that, Tanya slipped her wand back into her pocket and meandered back to the mansion as though nothing had happened. The meeting hadn't quite yet started, but it seemed she was the last to arrive, which of course suited her just fine. She entered the room and gave a small wave and a "hiya everyone" to no one in particular. Without waiting for a response, she plopped down in a chair as close to the door as she could find and began bouncing her leg unconsciously.

Julian walked up next to Sophia and looked inside the cave. He had no idea something so ordinary could be so unfamiliar and strange. The sound of indistinct Christmas music caught his attention and drew him in. He walked in and slowly approached the Christmas tree. It was wrapped in multi-colored lights which seemed to be powered without an outlet. He reached out his hand and touched the needles gingerly. It seemed real enough though. The air was warmer as though a fireplace was heating the atmosphere.
"This is weird...guys, you should come check this out."

Hmm, that could work. But I think that, being the only organization left to really oppose the Death Eaters, they would be a bit more careful than to do anything to "accidentally" give him - or anyone - the secret. The only way he could break the Fidelius Charm would be to have the secret given to him on purpose, or for him to see someone enter the Charm, and from the looks of it the manor is in a fairly wide open area, so I can't think of a way that someone could enter or leave the manor without noticing him long before they do so. Perhaps one of the younger, newer inductees gets a bit careless (and likely gets chewed out immediately afterwards by a more senior member xD) for a moment, long enough to pass on the secret?

If we go the careless new inductee route, I think Tanya would be perfect for that. I could have her exploring outside of the castle or something.

Also, I love how proper Albert is with living in this manor.

@Jig
Haha yeah that would work out nicely. Sounds good to me. =)
Since she's so young, I'm going to have her be new to the organization.

Character repost:

Tanya Pieters

NAME: Tanya Pieters

AGE: 25

GENDER: Female

NATIONALITY: Belgian

BLOOD PURITY: Muggleborn

MARKED? No

PERSONALITY: In school, Tanya was the student known for being too curious for her own good. She was the one who would question the teacher, not for the sake of intellectual pursuit or debate, but to simply see how far she could push him or her. Not knowing what's around the corner or what is locked away in a secret chest would drive her mad. To Tanya, rules are meant to at least be bent to point of breaking, if not broken whenever possible. She is carefree enough that punishments or volatile reactions seem to simply slip over her head, and clever enough that she would find a way around anything that didn't.

This however doesn't mean she's not loyal or brave enough to stand her ground. Because she can be, although it might take awhile for her to lay down her life for someone due to some trust issues. Because she tends to have a lot of acquaintances and only a few close friends, when she does defend someone, it can be nasty and dangerous to be at the receiving end. Instead of constantly standing up for those in need, she likes to watch how events play out, and sometimes even provoke situations if it will make things more interesting.
Although this type of almost childish behavior can seem naive, and well childish, it's a kind of defense mechanism for Tanya. Deep down she understands the gravity of the situation, but until it becomes truly dire, she will often remain light-hearted even in the face of danger.

SKILLS AND TALENTS: Magical: Tanya is more proficient at various jinxes, curses, and some hexes. Her style of spell-casting is often indirect, creative, and quick to counteract, though not always disciplined. Skilled with flying a broomstick.
Nonmagical: Surprisingly athletic, though sometimes a bit of a klutz.

WAND: Maple, Unicorn Hair core, springy, 11"

BIO: Tanya is the child of two muggles, who were quite dismayed when their six year old daughter began performing accidental acts of magic all over the house. Although no one in the immediate or extended family knows it, Tanya is the great grand daughter of a witch, on her father's side. The parents tried to be skeptical about her powers and blamed them on anything other than magic, even resorting to the possibility of ghosts. But, they gave up on logical explanations after Tanya managed to grow her hair out nearly ten feet so she could climb out her second story bedroom window. After that, her parents did their best to keep her powers hidden until she came of age to attend Hogwarts.
Tanya was sorted in Slytherin and instantly almost all friends made on the train were lost. In her spare time and sometimes during class, Tanya did her best to explore every inch of the castle. Her grades were mediocre at best and hardly any of the friends she made were from her own house. Among others, Tanya was somewhat confused at first as to why she sorted into the house of ambition and power. But soon she realized that she didn't quite belong in any particular house anyways. After awhile she let it go and decided to accredit the hat's choice to her pranks and small rebellious streak.

"I guess we're calling this place Wonderland now. I don't know how I got here. I was out jogging this morning," Julian said motioning towards his sneakers, "...and, I think I might have stopped to rest, but I can't remember anything more than that. What about you?"
