3rd Piece of Art

Great Hall - Newspaper
[Daisuke opened The Daily Prophet that had been delivered to him by his mother. Sure it was the newspaper from a couple of days ago, but his mother had sent it to him for good reason and that reason was his families thieving name was on the front in big bold letters:

'Phantom Thief Dark Strikes the UK' was at the front with big bold letters, however he couldn't help but be relieved that there was no pictures along with it. As he looked over he was checking that they had nothing on him, so far it looked like no one knew a thing except when the note said he would be and where and when.]

I guess this thief must be a big name.

[Just going to pretend he knows nothing of it and instead takes a sip of his drink looking around at the table of his peers.]

Oh! Um, does anyone know what homework is due?

Classes - Fourth Year
[Daisuke knew that for at least the next couple of weeks he'll be having a break from thieving which meant he could focus on what he actually wanted to do. Get through classes as well as his Extra-curricular subjects. So he could be found head down and trying to take notes. However every so often, he would look to the side, out of the window, thoughts passing through his mind.]

School Grounds - Drawing
[When he wasn't in class, he sat outside, sketchbook in hand and a pencil. The outside was nice and peaceful and helped him when it came to drawing. His pencil started to move taking shape and form as he looked up every now and again. He seemed deep into his work that he might not notice anyone around.]

[The fellow artist leans over the boys painting with a smile.]

You're very good at drawing.

...Thanks.

[Which considering what hsi job was, being able to draw like this was kind of hilariously ironic. But he didn't let it get to him.]

It's not that great at all, though.

Why do you say that?

[Naminé sits next to him with a warm smile.]

You're technique is really good and you draw from your heart.

It's just... there is a lot I can improve on.

[He looked at the drawing. Sure it was a landscape picture, but he knew there was much more he could do to improve on it.]

But I guess one can't be perfect.

That's right but you have heart which isn't something that can be taught.

[She pulls her sketchbook on her lap.]

Want to see my work? Artist to artist.

Sure. Artist to Artist.

[He figured he might as well see what others can do and appreciate that.]

[She passes over her sketchbook flipping to the first page for him to look.]

What do you think?

[He leant over slightly to take a look.]

It's beautiful. I men the light but gentle lines go quiet well with what you were trying to draw.

I mostly try and draw people.

[Her head tilts forward.]

What about you?

Landscapes for the most part, but I have drawn people every now and again if I need to come up with a gift for someone.

[He did it to his mother once as a birthday present and she liked it.]

I should try and draw more landscapes.

[She sighs softly.]

I've been learning how to water color but I'm not as skilled at it.

You should. Sure it looks like it's too simple, but you might learn something.

[He never tried water colour himself, now that he thought about it.]

Water colour sounds interesting though, I'm sure you'll get the hang of it.

It's a lot harder than oil paintings or other methods.

[She smiles.]

But I'm going to keep trying.

[ Perhaps it was peaceful, but it wouldn't be long until Daisuke had some company. The teen had heard some students buzzing about the Daily Prophet, and after having managed to obtain a copy from one of the professors (once they were done with it of course) she had taken it with her to read. So she sat nearby, reading through the paper and showing particular interest in the front page.

Good thing she had no idea that the culprit was actually right next to her. ]

Scary, this happening so close to here...

[Daisuke had put his newspaper down after hearing her. Trying to figure out how exactly it was scary. But then again it was him who was the one stealing after all, couldn't be afraid of yourself.]

You talking about the front page? it is pretty scary to know there is a thief stealing art.

Yeah, I am. He's apparently going after them here now?

[ She looked over to Daisuke again, raising a brow before looking back to the page. ]

I dunno, I mean it's a muggle museum but the paper's speculating that he's a wizard of some kind. Then again it's a Skeeter article, so who knows how accurate that is...

Yeah. They were someone we always read about in my old school. A lot of girls liked him... for a reason I still don't get.

[He really didn't. He very much doubted if they found out who it was they would feel the same way.]

But there were rumours that the muggle museums were housing magical art.

I'd have to question what's wrong with those girls then, isn't he a high-profile criminal if that's the case?

[ If only she knew she was technically an accessory to that particular crime... ]

... I guess they would need to be out of there before being discovered for their magical properties. Even so, you'd think he'd tell someone if it was just for that. If only for his own sake.

Pretty high on the list of criminals, yes.

[Which he knew he was, but he couldn't say no for many a reason. Mostly his mother sends notes before he can.]

Would you be able to tell muggles that?

I don't know... I suppose they could claim it's fake and give a duplicate? One that wasn't magical, of course. It might be difficult, but it draws less attention.

I feel like attention is what they wanted. After all they do send a note in advance.

[He really doesn't know how it works, he never asked why.]

...

Why?

Don't ask me, I only read what I know in the newspaper.

I just don't get it. He's doing something illegal, why the bloody hell would he want to draw attention to it? Is he just that arrogant to think he'll never get caught?

Who knows. I guess they could be cocky enough to do such a thing. Besides we are assuming it's a guy.

[Well he knows for a fact it is. Because it was him.]
