Deanna smiled at Lance.
"Ask away," she said smugly.
Deanna put her glass to her lips. She gulped it down, like a camel in the desert. She knew Lance would question her, and it was only a matter of time before it was his turn in the hotseat.

So, I think that Soffee allready asked you, but what did you do when you got home?" said Lance.

"I changed into my pajamas. Went to sleep. The usual. I had nothing else to do. I woke up at seven and took a shower, got dressed, brushed my teeth, hair... makeup. The usual girly-routine," Deanna said truthfully, a grin on her face. "Sent an owl to McGonagall. Told her I'd found you and that we were gonna head out. After that, I went to the Hogs Head. No one was there."
Deanna continued to smile.
"When your patronus arrived, I followed it to your apartment. You looked as though you'd been duelling. I don't know exactly what happened; unless your explanation was true. Came back... Asked Aberforth about the drinks, Lance left. I laughed at Lance because a barmaid..."
Lance cut her short. Deanna grinned. In her past expeirence with Veritaserum, she'd learned to tell half-truths (as in the thing with Aberforth) and to elaborate on things the questioner didn't want to hear.
"You did ask," Deanna said calmly. "Thought it may be important to the case."
The Veritaserum was rapidly losing it's effect, but before it did, Deanna remembered a question Lance had asked earlier.
"I work for the order," Deanna added. "I'm also an Unspeakable in the Ministry of Magic. I'm studying death at work right now. My last project was human-emotion... Not very useful to the Order at the time, but useful enough when I went on missions. Death, though, is much more interesting and useful to the Order. I was studying Van Depron's body before I came to find you, Lance and I think the Dark Mark may have been poisoned."
She finished answering almost immeadiately before the potion's effects wore off. She smiled and sat up straighter. Any minute, and I'll know who Lance is working for... she thought happily.
(OOC: I fixed my post Avenger, your turn.)

"So, did you try to betray me then?" he asked.

"No. I would never do that, unless you betrayed me or showed signs of betraying me," Deanna said.
It was the final question she had to answer truthfully.

During their conversation, Sophie began to realize what was going on. They would question everyone, they all must be under a spell or some kind of magic. If she could guess, it was probably Veritaserum, but there was no way to be sure. She decided now was not the time for her to speak. Remembering her after noon shift at Zonko's. She quickly scribbled a note on a napkin to send to Daniel to ask him to take her shift. She muttered an incantation, and the napkin sealed itself and popped out of site. It was an incantation that had the same effect as Apparition, only on an inanimate object. Daniel would probably be reading it now.
That business done she looked back up, as Deanna answered another question.

Deanna had finished and was now asking Lance questions.
"Who do you work for? Did you betray us?" she probed.

"I work for the ministry of magic," said Lance. "I am a Jr. Auror and I also work for the orader. I would never betray you unless it was necasary..." Thought Lance. He still wondered how she had so amny scratches on her face...
"Soffee, were did you get those scratches?"

Deanna began to drum her fingers on the table. Questioning was taking a long time and she felt as though someone was watching them.
"Guys, don't we have to find Eddie?" she asked, an edge or urgency to her voice.

"Yes, but the thing is I feel a little silly going out looking for a criminal who, by the looks of things, may be looking for us to, babe."

"I fell on the road, landed in the ditch in a patch of nettles," she lied, the easy feeling of what she suspected as magic gone. "And yes, we should get to Eddie," she said wanting to aviod lying anymore.

Deanna sighed in relief.
"Thank Merlin!" she muttered as she stood up. "Let's go!"

Lance did not think that it was the truth... (how did you damadge your collar bone by falling?) but he could see that they were not getting anywere, so he aggreed to go with them. They stood up and walked out of the bar.

Sophie took the lead and Deanna caught Lance's arm.
"I'm sorry about putting Veritaserum in your drink-- it was in Sophie's and mine too. I just wanted to be sure we all knew the truth about eachother," she said quietly, so Sophie couldn't hear. "I just wanted to be sure we could all trust eachother."

"sok, toots," said Lance with a grin, "Slong as we are all telling the truth. But I will tell you who aint telling the truth... sophie. How do you damadge your collar bone when you fall on the ground? anyway, she never actually answered my question the first time I asked it, which means that the vitrusirim did not have complete controll over here....
