Daisy nodded slowly, brows furrowed. She wasn't sure what she would have done had she known... She simply wasn't one who could just turn someone over to the authorities very well... Especially if the one didn't seem harmless and had befriended her... Not that this was a hard thing to do. She smiled gently back up at Gawain. She had formed a bit of a fondness for him as well. He was strong and could help her. And he was kind, even if he was a bit loud for her tastes. "Yes... He didn't seem harmfull to anyone when I met him... I have seen him on a few occasions and none of them did he seem hostile... He seemed amiable... Is he dangerous?" She tilted her head a bit, furrowing those brows again in confusion. "Why is St. Mungo's trying to get ahold of him? If you don't mind my asking..."

*He tilted his head from one side to the other.*
Well I can't say for sure whether or not he is dangerous. There was the incident at Hogwarts with the opening of the chamber of secrets, but now... who knows?
You see, he had his memory completely erased. Everything gone. Poor fellow didn't even know who he was. So they took him into St Mungos for treatment.
He made a darn fine recovery if you ask me, but as far as the records show, he is not yet one hundred percent. So they want him back to finish the treatment that they started.
You see? It's for his own good.
Though I don't know why that German fellow is after him.

The young woman listened intently to his words, worried about her newfound friend. She tilted her own head a little as she heard about the incident at Hogwarts. She nodded solemly. She remembered that... Those were not good times. She also remembered Gilderoy now... He was a teacher at Hogwarts that year! That's why he was a bit more familiar than she knew why...
"Poor guy... He seemed alright when I met him, as I said, he remembered who he was and everything so far as I could see..." She nodded a little. Yet as she pondered, she shook her head a little bit. "Maybe I should talk to him.. Not sure why he'd listen to me... But I suppose it's worth a try..."
Another light shake of her head was given as she thought about this. "I don't know either... And in his owl he seemed very shaken up and frightened even... I am worried about him..." Among other things... Her thoughts were rather dark at this point... She sighed gently and shook her head a little. "Maybe I can convince him to return to St. Mungos... Maybe that will make the German man stop following him..."

You may be right dear. He's lucky to have a friend like you.
*He winked at her.*
Tell you what, I won't mention to anyone that you know about Lockhart, and I'll let you see if you can get him back for us. There might be a little reward in it for you, and after all, it's for his safety.

Daisy gave a shy smile and dipped her head, allowing her hair to fall over her eyes. "Oh I don't know... But thank you sir..."
She gave a small shy grin at his wink and she nodded lightly. "Thank you sir. I will try my hardest to get him to understand and get him to go back to finish his treatment sir..." She dipped her head again in that shy manner and shook her head a little bit. "I don't need any reward sir... I'm happy to do it..." She smiled sheepishly but then glanced off worries in her eyes. "I just hope he'll see reason... Though perhaps... Perhaps the German man will stop chasing him if he goes back..."

I should hope so! And of course I know that you aren't doing this for a reward, but I'd feel better if we gave you a little something for all your help.
Why, if you weren't so busy with your shop I'd like to have you as full time staff!
Haha.
Well anyway, if you need anything, you know where to find me.
*He gave her a warm, friendly smile, somehow extremely proud of her, despite not being related in any way.*

Daisy smiled warmly to him and dipped her head shyly once more. Aw Gawain was making her blush a bit... "Alright... But you know I'm more than willing to help wherever I can, however I can..." This was slightly mumbled but understandable. She grinned shyly and nodded a little. "I would never be able to fully leave my shop... I love the little ones too much... But I'm always here to help anyway."
She smiled and nodded warmly to him, but shivered a little at the thought of helping. "Thank you Gawain... Can... Can I ask you something?" She looked up at him all seriousness in her eyes once more.

Of course dear. I'm all ears.
Haha.
And a bit of belly.

A sheepish, albeit small, grin spread across her lips at this and she glanced up at the large man and nodded some before drawing a slightly sharp breath. "Yes... Well... I know you must know about Venus'... Venus' and my plan... So I won't tell you about it... You do know don't you?" She looked up at him suddenly worried that the plan may not have made it to him yet. Oh she hoped it had. But he didn't look completely shocked so she would continue. "W-what are your thoughts on it?" Daisy was terrified... And yet she tried to keep that out of her voice and mannerisms as much as possible. And right now she was failing.

*He sat back in his seat, looking all the more serious. He truly was concerned about the plan.*
Yes, I know of the plan. I was in the meeting when Venus proposed it.
*He remembered supporting the plan, but now, with the girl in front of him, he was having second thoughts.*
It is awfully brave of you to volunteer for such a thing. I take my hat off to you, I really do. You're an incredible individual.
*He knew full well that the plan could possibly spell her death. He hated the thought. He wished there was another way.*
You know my dear, no one would look down on you if you wanted to back out. Now, I'm not suggesting you do, but...
*He didn't really have a 'but'.*
Well... it's extremely dangerous, but I'm sure you know that.
*He had little idea of how to help.*
Tell you what. Let's go through the plan together eh? If you have any concerns, any worries, I'll see what I can do to make it easier for you. All right?
*He leaned over his desk, pulled out some parchment and a quill to take notes.*
Right. So Miss Tamwell will befriend a Death Eater, gain their trust and hopefully access to Azkaban. She then tries to discover where exactly Bonobo and Shacklebolt are being held. With that information we can better plan our eventual rescue.
But the tricky bit is gaining the trust, which is where you come in..

Daisy was shaking a little bit. Her hands quivered but she clasped them in her lap, trying to slow down the quaking. She was scared... Scared as a rabbit cornered by some unfriendly critter. But she put on a brave face, gazing into Gawain's eyes. She was certain she wanted to do this. She had to for her dear friends... "Yes sir... I understand that it is exceedingly dangerous... But I wouldn't back out. If I can help with this plan at all... I want to desperately."
She furrowed her brows a little. She wasn't sure exactly how she could help... Only knew she had a more than willing heart. Daisy watched as Gawain pulled a quill and some parchment, and positively lit up when he proposed they talk about the plan together. She nodded and leaned slightly over the desk, very engaged in the conversation now. "Yes... That would be a wonderful idea..." And she would fall silent as he spoke.
"I help Venus gain their trust by offering information on Harry Potter... I am afraid because I don't know any solid information about his whereabouts or any such..." She bit her lip feeling slightly silly. She had totally jumped on the band wagon, if not brought up such a plan with this and here she didn't know what it was that she would tell the Death Eaters and... He Who Must Not Be Named... "Not that I would give them anything true if I did know anything." She said this quickly and with certainty.

*He smiled as he looked up from his notes.*
Of course I know you wouldn't willingly sell out your own side. Which is why I propose we fill you with plenty of false knowledge.
Fortunately, I have the semblance of a plan to help you.
What I suggest is that you tell them that you know that Potter is hiding in Diagon Alley, in the middle of everything, the last place they would expect. We can choose the exact place later.
Once they have that information, no doubt they will send a team to capture him. They won't find him there, instead they will find some fully battle ready Aurors and Hitwizards.
In the meantime, we take the chance to send a task force into Azkaban while their numbers are fewer. Their first priority will be to get you and the others out of there. If they can drive out the Death Eaters all the better, but with our forces split, I think that is a little optimistic.
*He began making notes of who he thought should be posted where for the plan, his own name first on the list of the Azkaban strike team.*
Once you and our Aurors are freed, we regroup, hopefully with a few captured Death Eaters locked away in our cells.
Then at full strength...
*He slammed his hand down on the table.*
We strike back and drive them out once and for all!

Daisy smiled shakily up at him, clasping her hands in her lap to either stop them from shaking or at least hide that they were. She nodded gently to him, thankful that he didn't think she would do that loathesome of a thing... Likely hence why they seemed to trust her to help with this plan.
A determinedness settled into place on the young woman's face as she listened intently to his words. She grinned a little at them, nodding gently at the thought. "Perfect... Now... I-I've never done anything like this before... D-do I try to resist to buy you more time to prepare? Or will all that be prepared soon after Venus takes me in..." She trembled a little but got it under control, biting her lip slightly, feeling silly for asking such a question... But she honestly didn't know.

I will make every effort to have things prepared before you are taken in.
It will take Venus some time to gain enough trust and get access to Azkaban so that she may take you to them.
In that time, I will have wherever we choose to say Potter is hiding added to the Floo network so that we may sneak our Aurors in and out without being seen. The enemies spies may notice otherwise.
*He continued making notes of who to use and possible locations to hide his men.*
It might be best that you resist at first, give the impression that you are not giving away information willingly. But I assure you, I will make it my personal priority to have you out of there as quickly as possible.
*He placed his quill down and reached his hand out to place on her shoulder again.*
I want you to take care of yourself in there. Don't worry about the rest of us. We will manage.
*He felt a lump in his throat. As well as the planning was going, he hated the part of the plan that put Daisy in danger. Although it was the part that everything hinged on.*

Daisy fixed those gentle brown eyes upon him. She nodded just a tiny bit, feeling some relief that he would at least try to have things ready... Or at least as ready as they could be, before she was even taken in. This upped her chances of survival she was sure. Daisy's brow furrowed a little as she heard him speaking of Daisy needing to take some time to gain enough trust. Imagining Venus in there for any amount of time frightened her. Even though she knew Venus could handle herself just fine. "Alright. Thank you Gawain..." Her voice was soft as she tried to keep the fright from it.
Daisy grinned a tiny bit and nodded once more. "Yes... But what about the people in Diagon Alley..." A worried look crossed her eyes as she looked anxiously up to him.
She shivered a little as she thought about them. But she supposed it couldn't be helped... This plan had to work this way, and wherever it happened there would likely be casualties. Ah the wonders of war...
The next bit, Daisy listened intently to what Gawain said. This was one point she was not entirely certain about. But she nodded thoughtfully at this. "Alright... I will resist as much as I can... I... I'll try to give them enough information to keep them interested..." She began to speak mainly to herself at this point, internalizing this plan.
She smiled shyly at his words, gratefully but shook her head a little. "Only if priority is also to get Ken and the Aurors at the same time. I'll be alright..." This was a lie... She knew very well that there was a high chance she wouldn't. But for all Daisy's faults... She was brave and had pluck.
Her eyes shifted to where he placed his hand, a small smile on those lips until she raised her eyes to his again. "I will Gawain... I will. This will work... We will get our people back and we will strike back at the enemy for taking them..." A fire burned in Daisy's eyes... One unlike what was typically seen there. This plan would succeed. It had to one way or another... And Daisy would do whatever she could to help it do so.
