Regina instinctively sighed into the kiss, as if that was exactly the response shed been hoping for, which it was. Let me just grab my bag, Emma said, feeling almost naked without her wand in the presence of another witch. In the end, it turned out that Sapphire had purposely extended the curse and hadnt been trying to break it all. Feeling refreshed and steadier, Regina turned down to Carkitt Market, window shopping on her way to her destination: Stowe & Packers Magical Bags. Alright, fine, Lily admitted, stomping her foot slightly. Silence filled the space between them, considering, but not awkward. Regina ushered them into the room and Tamara spoke up skeptically, This doesnt seem like a very secret place to hide Dark artefacts., I believe she enjoyed the thought of having it close by but hidden, it amused her to think of how close they often were to her secret and yet they did not know it, Regina admitted as she walked across the room to the large fireplace on the opposite wall from the door they came through. It was only written five years ago. Then she made the correct circling gesture, Expecto Patronum!. While Regina waited for the lock to be designed and set up, she went to numerous apothecary shops, checking prices, evaluating ingredients quality, and inquiring about shipping availability. In the end, my primary concern is privacy. I dont suppose youll understand if I tell you that the rest would be better explain when youre older, would you? She gave Emma a hopeful look, with a bit of a sardonic twist to it. Emma made up a story about forgetting something on the train and was told to write a letter to her head of house. Ill take the demiguise hair and the payment upfront though. She could barely keep from punching him in his smug face like a muggle brawler. Well, those arent spiders, David offered weakly as more heads and some dark, vaguely fairy-like, bodies emerged. Thank you, Granny, Emma said before wrapping her arms around the older woman in a tight hug. Mary Margarets eyes got very wide at that and she covered her mouth with her hand, Oh, I didnt even", I know you didnt, Emma said, cutting her off. Time seemed to go by fast since we were all really excited. Ms. Sapphire might as well be talking about getting her house newly painted and not breaking a curse that had lasted years. She was eager to play, eager to show her skills off. Of course you wouldnt have. Lastly, her mother had turned her comfortable gray shows into white sandals that had more heel than she was comfortable with. All three are looking them as the girls come in, but it was the man who spoke first, Hello Emma, its good to see you again., Emma smiled, unable to remain on her guard with Archie there. I saw red and turned on my heels. And IIm part werewolf I guess. All that it does is make Professors waste their time fixing your dumb mistakes instead of teaching the rest of us who are actually competent.. 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. To her surprise, he continued to accompany her outside. She is! Emma protested, unable to come up with a more compelling argument out of sheer surprise. I have a separate income stream, unconnected with my parents, and I do not want my mother to be able to interfere with it., Now he seemed more considering despite still remaining skeptical if his raised eyebrows and steepled long fingers were any indication. Shed only picked up a single wizard guide book to London when the flutter of wings caused her to drop it on to the table. Without looking, she heard Kiley jump on her broom and fly awayto try to persuade Flitwick or just to get away from her, Regina didnt know. I was about to thank him for saving me from the argument, but there was a knock on the door, so I went to open it. Wary. In fact, she didnt say anything until Emma got to the third step. She decided against changing her clothesafter all one of the reasons she had designed these dress robes this way was so that they would be comfortable. Henry quickly got up from his place at the foot of the table to the chair opposite Reginas place at the middle. Werewolves dont normally had kids and not with non-werewolves. They thought some sort of mother-daughter bond would protect me, even after Id explained to them what she was like. And I hoped you would come to me., Regina continued to stand stiff as a board, looking at him with a small amount of fear. I followed her with my gaze and when she disappeared behind the door of the wardrobe, I crawled out of the bed and draped my cotton robe over my shoulders. Red Riding Hood | Ruby. I dont know that any will want to buy potions from a murderers daughter. Emma had a little more spending money each year due to already having a number of the basic school supplies and choosing to get second hand items instead of splurging on new ones just because she could. This seems like exactly what I was looking for. Whats Hogwarts like?, Its really nice. Last night had not been pleasant. OK, but you have to dance with me one more time before we go home.. Regina was probably the least squeamish person she knew. Must have been to help make the spell last longerdrawing the spell diagram on the ground is too temporary for a spell like that.. They control the Wizarding banks, Gringotts is the largest. , It gets hot under there! Emma protested. Youre scaring me, Regina! She did have the presence of mind to yell, One more! she didnt need to hear Emmas response, she knew the other girl would be cursing. Regina is in her Care of Magical Creatures, but she keeps to herself mostly so Granny said she couldnt get a good read on her. A four-pointed star in red, on a white clothe with black runes stitched around. My apologies, I didnt mean to ask personal questions, I just wanted to check if I was in the right place, he explained himself immediately. I quickly shut my eyes and parted my lips a little, pretending to be asleep. Silvia gave a quick demonstration of the blood locks and set them up so they were tied to Regina before she moved on to explain the other locks. It was a rare sunny day and she was taking full advantage of that to go to the small park near her house. I finally leveled up! he said proudly and grabbed an apple from the fruit holder on the counter. The White heir has returned. You did it, Emma said, grinning broadly. I know apparition can be a bit hard to handle the first time., Yeah, Emma lied, her voice weak. Faye? It was Granny, Emma didnt think shed ever been more relieved to see someone in your life. Stop trying to martyr yourself, Ruby said, with a weak eyeroll. Sometimes you each had a deck and played a deck each simultaneously, you could use the same deck and compete for pairs, or you could play against just by yourself with a goal number of pairs., Correct. It was just after that part that Emma remembered she was supposed to be following along so she knew when to join in. Just for tonight?, Are you sure you dont want to ask Madame Pomfrey? Regina chewed her lip nervously. Emma was the only one without any real context for what Regina was feeling, but she knew it. Emma rolled her eyes, Looking for a book, duh? Blood purists had a certain air about them that Emma had grown rather good at sensing. Ill give it a try.. Then she reached the correct sectionthe trunks with multiple compartments. And finally, Hufflepuff prized hard work and loyalty., Of course, she waved, most people have a mix of all of those traits, but everyone still has to be divided up by whichever is most important to them. I know you said you had some potions money to fall back on, but enough to live on your own until school starts up again? I pulled back as soon as I realized. After a few minutes, Regina nodded, Well, alright then., Yeah. Faye Sapphire, she introduced herself with a smile. She rolled again as she made the end of her circle and pulled off towards the bridge. Still, Emma had trusted Mary Margaret enough to explain and shed promised not to tell. Lets go., The dwarf looked at her like she must be stupid, Of course, right now., I need, let me just Emma motioned faintly back at the flat. The last thing she wanted to be thinking of before she put on the Sorting Hat was Mother. How had she forgotten there was going to be a quiz? #peterpan Leroy raised an eyebrow, The Floo network?, Emma blushed, surprised shed forgotten what that was. 2. You cant even tell when someone isnt interested, can you?, The mans face went red and he reached for his wand, Why you little b. Emma nodded, Alright, okay. And thats all I know.. Not very good poison-er if I have to ask you to make it, are you? he replied with a cheeky grin. Her mother should be sleeping soundly at the other end of the house, but Regina couldnt help but be as cautious as possible. Thats when her gaze landed on the entire reason they were here. Dad? Lily said, sounding unhappy. As Emma automatically cast flipendo she looked frantically around the room for something to help her and her friendsbefore one of them got bit. All of her things had been packed up and anything extra had been stored. This is probably the book youre looking for., Emma took it cautiously. You the one that called us?, Emma had not gotten this far in her life without the ability to roll with things, Uh, yeah, yup, Emma jumped to her feet, That was me., Great, the man said in the most unenthusiastic voice shed heard. It should open.. How about I teach you some spells to help with the fight?, Regina had known Emma was a good dueler since she was a prominent member in the school club. It would be complicated for a shop to obtained say, hair from every customer in advance to build into their brewing. He and Marco nodded, Its eliminates all the different methods of finding someone except blood magic. That was what youre saying doesnt even make any sense. She nodded as if shed delivered an irrefutable argument. Silvia held up a small bronze token, which was similar to a coin except that it had a tree inscribed on it. Regina. Im fine. Shed gotten soft at Hogwarts, she used to be so much tougher when adults were being jerks. Practice tomorrow?. It wasnt a question. Regina is quick to kneel down to greet him, relieved to have someone else to focus on, a chance to gather her thoughts. What did you do! Regina left the bank, blinking in the sunlight and finally feeling like she was making progress towards becoming independent. That curse? And she was concerned before.. I walked over to the other side of Regina and I extended my hand toward her as I bowed a little. I thought they were gonna set me on fire for interruptingno spells needed. That just seemed so fairytale to her stillit belonged in Halloween movies, not in school. A couple of students cried out at the sudden spell, but most just backed off, leaving a large amount of space around Emma and Hans. Because practice makes perfect. Are you alright?. When she left, there was an almost visible change in the atmosphere as father and daughter felt her presence leave and smiled at each other. The two couples had gathered there early that morning, wanting to forget all the confusion about who knew what secret and actually compare notes on the situation. I really like you and I dont know if you feel the same way, but I had to tell you. First years get an extra five minutes during the first week, but we still need to figure out how to get to History of Magic., Okay, okay. Emma looked around as she tried to come up with a plan, Here, the staircase came back, lets go back to that landing with the fruit and cats and go right this time., They hurried onto the staircase as it moved, walking up carefully as it glided. Emma wasnt sure if she was relieved or disappointed, when all Madame Malkin did was smile and say, Nice to meet you, dear. Im, uh, I dont have parents., Mr. Munozs eyes widened and he looked stricken, Oh, Im so sorry. This is Emma Swan, a new student., Of course, of course, he said. You think I cant tell?. He seemed to know it too. I mean, my parents know but they dont like me to talk about it. I mean, she is tutoring youshes kinda supposed to tell you what to do.. White marble walls, a tall window which showed they were in a tower in the Northwest. Regina blinked down at her once more before she shook her head slightly and moved to get off of Emma. But I was curious. Whenever a card flips over thats down in the circle, you need to tap both cards to count the pair.. Without saying a word, she shut the door as if she couldnt hear me. Luckily, the dwarves ducked behind the sleeping pedestals just in time, but it managed to hit Sapphire squarely, knocking her down. However, he relaxed and continued, Normally, only older students and those being tutored may use the spare potions rooms, but I can make an exception. The home Im in seems pretty fineinstead of a group home, Im staying with a family. All of this is mine?, Yes, McGonagall said. Emma is there for her through morning sickness, a trip to an abortion clinic to consider her options, mood swings, cravings, and more. You make people potions, right? he asked with enough arrogance in his tone to make Regina wary. She didnt look at all like the sort of person Emma would have expected to know this drunk man. Okay, nowleast favorite class?, I am not good at potions. I told you not to tell anyone about my parents and you promised. Mary Margaret had only found out because shed seen Emma looking at the photos Ruby had leant her. She actually asked me what doxycide is used for? Miss Swan, Gold said, breaking her out of her thoughts. Did he think she was someone he had a potions project with? Is it getting worse?, Im afraid so, Ms. Sapphire admitted. What house was he in? At McGonagalls mildly surprised face, Emma elaborated, Madame Malkin explained about the houses a little., I see. Correct. Regina jolted a bit and Kathryn started to pull back, thinking shed misread the situation, only for Regina to return the hug full force. After visiting the bathroom to ease Emmas nausea, it took way too much time to get to the door we came in. Now, please go stand over there. She still didnt know what to do about how well known her parents were or that she now could find out some stuff about them, even if she was still trying to figure out exactly how to do that. Regina ignored it initially, assuming it was an owl for one of the professors. I never could have imagined that. Things had not been improving for either girl as the weeks went on. It hovered briefly, before taking off like a shot in the opposite direction of the two would-be seekers as if it knew they specifically sought after it. The surprised her, while they would come when she did, normally relatively quicklymore so if she had foodshed never come to find them already there. She said my first name shouldnt be enough to tip anyone off, even with my age. Emma asked, confused and worried. Therefore, she needed more of her potion sooner than expected. The hell she wasnt mad at me. Alternate end to 6x21-22 and divergence from there. Just because I suck at potions doesnt mean Im a complete moron., Regina looked rather taken aback and regretful. Yes, she has a spell, one which allows her to pull out a, a construct of a physical heart. And even before theyd left for summer holiday, shed nearly managed to produce an actual animal. A new villain lurks, biding their time. Even with closed eyes, I knew she was looking at me. She did pay a bit extra for a watertight sealling spell, not making any potions to leak into the other compartments as well as an insert which made it easy to create smaller sections in one of the compartments. Help me! he giggled as Emma was moving toward him under the water. Cora eyed her daughter as she sipped her drink, but incorrectly attributed her nerves to Coras opinion of her performance at the party last night, You really must do a better job of talking to Robin, dear., Regina hoped the small flash of triumph at her mothers non-reaction to the potion was disguised by her ducking her head, Im sorry, Mother. Luckily the owl didnt seem to be looking for a payment, although it hadnt left yet. She can barely pay attentionand she never listens! Regina complained. Between muggle medical students, wizard experimenters, and general creepspeople were very concerned about post-mortem organ theft. A large silvery form burst from her wand and bounded forward. Evidently the noise from the blasting charm had been heard even in the soundproof music room, What is going on here?!. And this wasnt like a quick kiss either, theyd clearly been there a while. She fell back against the chair with a sigh, It was extremely hot, why do the attractive ones always pair up with each?, Emma could barely hold back asking way to specific questions, I dont know. i'm so sorry i wont be able to update for a while because my laptop is broken (it caught a virus) i'm writing this on my ipod. Hes not good at that sort of thing. We need to get Gold or Madame Pomfrey. She turned to head for the door. Whatever makes you most comfortable.. Can you do that? No one can do that.. In that sense, then the spell did its job so well, no one could find you., Emma nodded, Granny had told her something similar. Instead what came out was, I like to fly., Emma blinked at her in confusion, And you thought the middle of the night was the perfect time to do that?, Emmas incredulous tone was enough to shake Regina somewhat back to normal. Can you tell that Ive got something for you? Hed promised another dwarf would meet them at the mine entrance. Emma recognized some of the symbols from Charms class and some from Ancient Runes, but not enough to identify more than a few pieces here and there. No harm in trying., They all nodded and Emma put the book aside so they could all help with the clothe. Its fine, I just dont want you to get sick. But I know Hogwarts you take your big exams after fifth year, right? Emma nodded. But I guess I didnt really believe it.. Im writing in circles instead of telling you straight out, a vice I fear has already harmed you. Would you like a familiar?, McGonagall suppressed a laugh, but she knew it would only make Emma feel self-conscious, even if she meant no harm by it. Because saying he was glad you had a friend you could talk to and that he wishes youd tell him more, seems very not against magic., Look, hes just, just pretending to care, but he doesnt really though, I promise., Emma studied the other girl, trying ignore what she knew until she couldnt. Mr. Leston was very forthcoming explain the different styles and features they offered. Both complement each other and it is not possible for one to exist without the other.". Right. This time Regina nodded more decisively and smiled at her friend, Thanks, Tina.. Toddler antics with a magic twist. A short man came out of one of the other tunnels and joined them in the main room. It made her nervous in the dark anyways. HeShe. Regina just gave this frustrated, defeated sigh her eyes briefly meeting Emmas before darting away. Her first try for this potion in class had not gone well. Should I wake him?. Our plan worked, with the listening spell in place and the aurors keyed into our apparition field, I used veritaserum to get Mother to confess. Or working for a potioneer or as an apothecary. Regina strode forward and made a complicated gesture with her wand before hissing the password. But I dont want to interrupt your tea time with her, Im sure she doesnt want, Oh, shush. Ruby flapped a hand at her nervous friend. Emma was about two broom lengths behind Regina, but no matter how she pushed, she wasnt closing the gap fast enough. As this event has most unfortunately occurred, we hereby relinquish this package to you. They also havent reported the actual number of people she killed, but I think they werent allowed to. This was in the closet. But what? Id come back from practice to change. Its a good place to keep the key once weve taken out some money., Okay. Emma grabbed it as they left this room. I cant let it go on.. When she spoke, I looked up and I only realized now how close we were. Good, the captain said, with a nod. Here you go. That home is being re-evaluated and an extra person assigned to it. With the newly let in sunshine now that the lethifold wasnt blocking the light, Emma could tell that the clothe Ruby had grabbed was the right one. I have brought proof of the business, if that would be helpful, Regina reached down into her bag to pull out her ledger. Regina shrugged and stood up, curious as to how strong it was. Regina blushed slightly, as she always did when he complimented her, Thank you, Professor. How did you stand it?, Ruby shrugged, already bored of Emmas whining about Regina. She was not following what Lance was after, Okay, and?. Ruby stiffened and froze, looking down at Mary Margarets head like she was hallucinating. Just as slowly as they came together, they parted. Emma nearly tripped as she tried to match the older womans pace. Regina sat in silence on the top of the tower for a long time. Or someone with some sort of rare creature is having a problem that requires consultation? With a crack, the witch apparated away. I knew it! the girl said and high fived her brother before they ran off. Growing up in the foster system, I didn't used to like this period of the year, but like many other things, this has changed since then.
