She didnt if she could open her mouth to scream, but she was going to anyway. Emma actually leaned back and turned a bit red, Uh, never mind then. A shrill whistle interrupted her thoughts and she turned to look at the Captain, a sixth-year girl who was their lead chaser. Regina brought up her wall and changed in to her pajamas in a tired haze. What? Emma frowned, why couldnt Regina ever say a thing outright? Phoebe Jones had spent the last fourteen years of her life in the foster system, moving from home to home. "Oh. What are you looking for in a vault?, A small vault is fine to start with, although I would like the ability to upgrade to something deeper in a year, she said automatically, having put a lot of thought into it. To distract Emma, she said the first thing that came to mind, We breed horses, my family. Regina frowned, Well, my fathers family really, Mother is in politics. Once it connected with the landing, they saw a Gryffindor girl running along the hallway after jumping off from another staircase further down. Heres the thing, Emma started. What do you mean you ran away? Finally though she was in bed, ready to turn off her light, and all that was left was to take the potion. Shed expected Regina toto Emma didnt know what. They didnt raise me, they didnt know me! Bad enough that Gold had singled him out like that when David had gone to him to ask where to find aconite. Hey, Regina, Emma greeted as she came in and waved at her with one of pillows from the Transfiguration room shed brought with her. Regina stiffened and drew herself up, offended that he thought she couldnt keep a secret. Home; Summary Resume. Regina didnt show as much enthusiasm as Henry did, but since we had no other option at that moment, she nodded and we went back to the car. Mary Margaret sighed, We cant make any details out like that, lets just open up the curtains. She turned around to pull on the drapes aside while Emma and David cast lumos once more. Theyd passed a train station close by last nightthats where she needed to go. She took a few deep breaths and tried to focus on what she needed to right nowmagic, schooltangible things that were happening at the moment. Emma drew her wand and turned that way and was shocked to see Ms. Sapphire walk in. She hadnt meant to reveal anything, but they were so nice Surely saying this much wouldnt hurt. She just wasnt being specific about which potions she would practicing making. She always gets her way and when she doesnt, people tend to disappear until she does., Archie was frowning at Regina, You say she killed a muggle in front of you? She turned around to see Regina partially blocking the way with a smug expression on her face. Then she gestured at the other worker who was currently in the back of the kitchen, Sorry about himhes just upset because Neals gone., Emma felt herself freeze, disbelievingly she asked, Gone?, Yeah, she nodded. I dont know why I am surprised. Why are you yelling? Henry asked from the bathroom door. But theyd only just broken the spell. The timing of the upcoming Quidditch match hadnt help either. Normally I ride Balthazar or Helah, but since theyre younger and more spirited, theyre not as suited for my practice.. She was a second away from bolting when someone else stopped by the table. Her parents and their friends worked in secret to investigate the group of muggle and wizards known as the Red Fist, who wished to break the statue of secrecy and use magic to exert influence over the majority of muggles. She hurried on to the train, giving the train attendant her ticket, since they had to be checked when the train wasnt leaving for another couple hours. Whats the point of the bloody prophecy then? the drunk man was in her face now, pointing an accusing finger. Unfortunately, Tina and Tiana werent part of the pureblood social circle her mother moved in. I help Ruby and GraProfessor Lucas sometimes with things in the Forbidden Forest. Her bed had a matching brass head- and footboard. So Im studying for that and practicing, while waiting for my O.W.L. Yes. Secondly, she went to Professor Gold and asked to borrow some time in one of the private dungeons for practice. Wow, thats harsh., Regina let out a breathless little laugh, that was such an Emma thing to say. It shouldnt be. What?. Driving your muggle vehicle sounds interesting, perhaps you can show me how one works once youve been certified. Instantly, an intense protective flare came over her. Everyone automatically gathered in a loose circle around her in their confusion. One year after the birth of Robin and Regina's daughter Sophia, everyone's happy. I didnt laugh because Im mocking you; I just thought you have a bigger problem., Well, considering that were at a party, I assume there were balls in the Enchanted Forest. Gringotts wanted long term customers, that was why it gave such good service to the older families, despite their attitudes. Im really proud of you., I grinned at the compliment, but there was another problem. Regina held her hand up over the brooms handle and said with complete confidently, Up!. I nodded. Rocinantes white eyes focused briefly on Emmas face, before he leaned down to nudge her hand. Her friend left her to her thoughts as they made their way back to High Street. She stared at the tiny pile on the floor, her emotions finally making themselves known as her numbness melted away under the heat of her mothers anger. Here, want this banana? She pulled it out of her sleeve and held it out to Ruby. That is, until she tasted them, Oh god, these are really good. Hogwarts mealtime was probably her favorite thing about the school, so much good food and such variety, but these cakes knocked most of their desserts out of the water. Regina ate slowly, trying to come up with a way to bring up a topic that would lead to Mother confessing to murdering someone, but she spent so much of her time avoiding topics like that, not wanting the reminder, that she was failing to figure out how to do it. Do you think youd want to be a potioneer? Kathryn asked, curious. Tears falling down both of their faces, they stood there for a long time. They thought some sort of mother-daughter bond would protect me, even after Id explained to them what she was like. She stood, staring around the room, taking in all the detailsfrom the little chest of drawers to the other books and toys scattered throughout out the roomas if someone had been using the room until they vanished and no one else had ever cleaned it up. She moved closer to her broom and urged it to go faster the way she did her horses at home. Thats when her gaze landed on the entire reason they were here. I believe she will kill me. Ruby was the last to reply and confirmed that Granny had heard the news for all they were deep in the north somewhereremote enough that even owls had a hard time reaching them. She held her in a tight embrace and she breathed in a familiar scent. What happens when Emma finds herself falling for her in the process? She built the place in her mind, piece by piece. Regina doesn't trust Robin, or herself, to perform the skills required of pairs skaters. Some are things I wanted to include in part 1 or part 2 but it never quite fit. Hey, we all agreed to help, David said with a frown as he tried to catch his breath. A nurse hung fluids from the IV now in place in Regina's tiny arm. Pardon me, Professor McGonagall. She was reminded of when she first tried learning, about using her memory of being sorted into Hufflepuff and the welcome feast and how Granny told her it probably wasnt strong enough. It was one thing to test potions on herself, another to do it to her friend. I put in eight fire seed pods and. Im leaving! Emma called back, bounding down the stairs and making for the front door. She stifled a yelp and panted as she clutched the armored waist of the suit of armor with her other arm. Um, sure, Emma said, still feeling out of her depth, but feeling a little better now that one of her friends was here. Thats what wed like to know too, one of the witches said. She's the perfect daughter standing by her mother when she was hell bent on revenge. A student came out of the classroom, he barely looked at the other second years waiting to go to class when his eyes passed over her. No, Im fine doing this myself, she replied, selecting a bridle and moving over to the saddles. After going under the captain and then over the keeper, with Regina following closely enough that her foot almost knocked the keeper in the head if he hadnt ducked, it spiraled up one of the stand towers. Regina gave a satisfied nod before carefully making her winding way down the ground, past various shelf outcroppings and floating stacks. Why are you this stubborn? She swung around to finish the Sloth Grip Roll, the preferred move of her favorite player and one which shed practiced for hours over the summer. Everyone was dressed up like McGonagall and the others inside the bank in long robes, pointy hats, and a variety of other odd clothing combinations shed never seen. Your father requested my sister and I stay over night to help with Artemiss pregnancy. She smiled, It does.. If you log in you can store your preference and never be asked again. It was also enough for Emma to slide a bit closer on the broom. Are you alright?. It was suddenly hard to breathe. Then there was a pecking noise at her window that drew her out of her thoughts. Between muggle medical students, wizard experimenters, and general creepspeople were very concerned about post-mortem organ theft. Once shed escaped to her room though, the tears fell. Emma was rather surprised shed want to go anywhere else. He looked disappointed that theyd made it within the five-minute grace period, but as the class continued, Emma started to suspect he just always looked like that. Im so glad youre on time., Hi, yeah, of course, Emma stumbled over her words a bit, never used to praise from an adult. I do know the shield charm., Emma shook her head, Theres knowing it and mastering it. Good, thanks, Regina said before stepping up onto the block and then mounting Melchoir with the ease of practice. I- Emma, can we please have a word in the study?. It would be wonderful to race Regina said wistfully. Hi, Daniel said, once hed reached the top of the hill. Do you know what people love to say to me today? Emma asked rhetorically, hands on her hips. Emma tried to brush off their concern as they circled her, Im fine. She tried on a weak smile, Hans has bad aim.. Thankfully, the other girl finally slowed down to a fast walking pace. Then she remembered, of course. Back in Emmas bedroom, McGonagall handed Emma an envelope with her ticket. Regina and I were lying in the large bed. Regina drew her wand and backed away, but before he could get any closer a nonverbal immobilization spell from Flitwick had him frozen where he stood. I sat her back on the end of the bed and went to get her and myself clean pajamas. Thank me?, Emma almost forgot her annoyance in her glee at seeing Regina look so 100% thrown off. Regina might just need more off time, I whispered to myself. Luckily it was a very distinctive sound and no one else in the Bug even looked over at them. Oh, okay, he seemed to accept her answer until he frowned at her squinting in the moonlight. Finally, she pressed her lips together decisively and took a deep breath. Not to mention whatever it was that had happened over the summer. Regina rolled her eyes at the old superstition of how pieces of hair or nail clippings could be used to cast Dark magic, but Tina suddenly turned to Regina, her finger raised, Oh! Sorry to bother you. She turned to leave. I have relatives who are muggles. Geez. She slumped off to her usual table in the back. Mother had such influence throughout he Ministry, she didnt feel comfortable going to anyone with what she knew. Luckily, she recovered well enough and the captain ordered all the bludgers to be caught and locked up again. I- I could use a hug, you know. She frowned or at least tried to and she looked adorable. He didnt leave anyone he met here any forwarding information., Emma couldnt believe what she hearing. The door! Emma said, her mind racing, Lets just get out and lock them in.. Faye gestured to the empty chair, Do you mind if I join you? Slowly, slowly, Emma began to lose some of her tight tension and relax. Part 1 or part 2 but it never quite fit whatever it a.
