I forgot were staying, she said. Why did they do that?, Obviously, Emmas confusion and horror must have shown in her voice as Marco rushed to explain, We were concerned members of the Red Fist were going to personally target some of us. So what are you going to do now? Emma asked as they lounged against the tree. If you can please pay half upfront and the rest once youve seen the work and are satisfied. Regina pulled out her money pouch and counted out the first payment. Hogsmeade was a lot fun, Emma thought as they went around to the different shops. She hastily tried to revert back to a casual tone. Emma was still so grateful to know what her mother looked like. She felt herself flush, Maybe, but I dont know if I can get new ones. The ones she had were a donation and they did exactly get to be choosey about them. Rocinante coming closer had evidently ruined any confidence shed gained while here by herself with the thestrals ignoring her. Once they got to the right spot, Emma gathered everyone around to look at the right page. I feel a little dizzy, though., Youll be okay after you've had some sleep.. No more Ruby, Granny would be sad, but unsurprised., Emma laughed even as she pictured some of the glares Regina had given her when they first started working together, I can definitely see her being able to make that happen. Im here for you. Sorry, she said. Tamara escorted me out after I was done. I know its still a couple months away, but I fear by then it might be too late., Do you really think I can help? Emma asked, unable to keep her doubts to herself. You must be able to see it.. Regina just starred down in shock. His wide unseeing eyes. Which constellations do you know?. We can quiz each other in the morning?. Emma placed her hands on my waist as she leaned closer a little. Theyd passed a train station close by last nightthats where she needed to go. Yup, Emma held up the spellbook, Ruby the clothe, and Mary Margaret the flowers. Emma gave her a shaky smile and took a hearty swallow of tea, Sorry, I just never thought that I would Professor McGonagall said they didnt have any family left and so I figured there werent any pictures. You did get her here after all and thats what matters. She glared at the haughty fifth year, Maybe you just need to learn how to teach better.. Night came quickly. Transfigured into something that doesnt look like a key, if youd prefer. Regina swallowed heavily, she knew Gold was an old friend of Mothers. (Well, Snow didnt get on my nerves.) At least two sets of robes, a sheaf of parchment, and three books had been damaged on her journey home from school this year. We take a year of Beings and Beasts, a year of Magical Language, and a year of Alchemy each. Regina tensed waiting for one of them to speak. To end the day, we watched a family movie called Beethovens Christmas Adventure before we settled in our beds. There was nothing to be done as both precautions were built completely into the wards so she would merely have to stall between their arrival at the edge of the property. All four eyed the dark cave dubiously until a round faced dwarf holding a torch came out to meet them. Whatever makes you most comfortable.. The prefect led them to the spiral staircase in the center of the common room. Not when it wasnt hers anymore. Regina found, with the right twist it was easier to talk about school to him than shed thought. After giving her reply to Silver the next morning, she went down to breakfast only to come back once she was finished and start packing almost immediately. With her father undercover and no one really suspecting that anyone was actively opposing them, they were able to achieve much without the Red Fist even knowing about them. I am paying attention! Emma protested. A quick click was heard and the front panel of the trunk slid away to reveal a combination lock which consisted of a full wheel of letters and a two-digit number wheel in the middle of the letter wheel. That was potentially a good sign. Emma didnt bother trying to keep her gaze fixed on Regina, she would only have gotten dizzy. You just cant do it on a larger scale.. In later years there will be more leftover for other things.. I see, he said, obviously thinking over all she had said. Youre very welcome, Gina! she said and then I helped her put the still-hot cinnamon rolls onto a plate while Henry took a jug of green tea to the dining table and called his grandparents. Mary Margaret stared at her blankly. She looked up to see Kathryn sliding onto the bench opposite her and Abby leaning against the door frame. I know something else happened. Leroy thinks I know how to break it, the spell, Emma said. The crowd was enjoying the regular seeker chasesnormally seekers werent so active. It felt like being squeezed and then shoved through a tunnel that got narrow and narrower. Ive asked the legal team focus on her contract before the rest of the property, but I think they feel Im just acting spoiled. When she was in bed that night, staring at her canopy, she found herself thinking about being a potioneer. She barely saw the smile fade from Chars face as he realized hed caught the snitch too soon and that Ravenclaw had won by twenty points, even with his 150 point bonus from catching the snitch. Dont be paranoid!, Im just worried, Emma, she said and bowed her head, I wont be able to sleep properly., I was about to speak when Dad stepped in. Emma watched in slow horror as Regina painfully used the broom to move a few feet, hopping on her left foot. It would have worked the same for you except that since both Snow and David died, you had no living blood relatives. I dont have any parents let alone any that would have left me money. That just seemed so fairytale to her stillit belonged in Halloween movies, not in school. She belonged on this team, she belonged in the air. Emma followed Regina so silently through into the normal section of the library, passed Madame Pinces desk, even though it was empty. Emma - Summer before Year 3Regina - Summer before Year 4. The changes made by her mother disappeared and instead the outfit shed designed was restored. To be fair to Regina, that wasnt something Emma thought she would believe. Both hope that Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry is the answer to give them everything they are hoping to find. Together, they looked over her star charts, trying to identify a few of the others like Draco, Cygnus, and Cassiopeia. Emma found herself staring as Regina laughed. Some didnt trust the aurors offer of protectionafter all, aurors guard Azkaban along with dementors. Look, I dont know you and Emma tried to say, she needed to get this guy to leave. In traditional Exploding Snap, the cards are in a single stack and they self-shuffle to turn over cardswhen two of the same come up in a row, you have to tap them with your wand. He quickly demonstrated by setting the cards down and tapping twice for it to start flipping, tapping the first pair that came up. Things had not been improving for either girl as the weeks went on. Thanks, Emma said sarcastically, but didnt call Regina out on the obvious posturing. The question would be which one. Finally, the team was called out by Madame Hooch. Dont panic. Then she looked back down at her book and shook her head to refocus. Not bad., Thats all? I chuckled and as she shrugged, I said Well, then lets have some real fun! and hopped off my chair. It wasnt until a few days later in the same study room that they stumbled upon the solution. Emma - Summer after Year 1Regina - Summer after Year 2. When Im not as sure about. Papi taught me how to ride and care for horses. A new villain lurks, biding their time. Emma shrugged it off, it was probably just because Ms. Sapphire needed other things besides Emma. The bus hissed as the door opened and a man stepped out, saying in a bored tone of voice, Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. Silvia looked up as soon as Regina walked in, for all that there was no bell. Regina didnt trust Emma to grab the right plant and besides it was too late. Her foster family was making her jittery though and so she dressed and left as early as she could. That made her so uncomfortable that she decided to ignore it completely. I wasnt expecting you, so I think its a bit messy in there, besides all the kids are muggles., Ms. Sapphire smiled kindly at her, Of course, Emma. Wow, I cant imagine that. And its says it works best when coupled with a specific potion. Regina perked up at that and gestured for the book. Only real families had pets. They suffocate and eat people., What the hell is one doing here? Emma shouted. They stepped around to the opening and Emma saw that Regina was frowning as she looked at her propped up ankle, which was covered in thick orange paste of some kind. Ruby and Emm had talked to Granny the next time they visited. What did you do! Yes, yes I know! Fine piece of work that spell was. I cant go to someone and then have them turn me over to her. It made Emma want to do all sorts of stupid thingsas long as it got Regina to laugh. She ran back out, tossing a quick goodbye to Robbie as she did so and ignoring his squawk of protest at her leaving him with the little ones. The Whoomping Willow didnt stay quiet for long, as soon as the were within the reach of tis branches it woke up violently, untwisting from its more contained resting stance. She ushered Regina to the back room where her trunk sat, complete with shiny new locks. Emma went to the opposite end of the room and began to make her way towards the front, while Ruby did the reverse. I think Im gonna try out for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team this year., Yeah, whos your favorite regional team?, Holyhead Harpies, Emma replied. This is just a normal broom, I thought we could help Filch keep the bridge clean., Emma laughed and elbowed her, I should have known better than to ask.. #pan Leading the horse over to the ring, she waited while Daniel opened and closed the gate for her. Hed ushered her into a car and driven through the London streets to the outskirts of the city at a pace that was rather terrifying. Its you she said, surprise evident in her own voice. Those guys are morons too.. Regina studied her carefully, I think you get too overwhelmed by the instructions. Regina hung back after her potions class two days later, approaching Golds desk. Evidently Emma wasnt quiet enough because Ruby sent her a look as she stepped back from her grandmother and said, Stop embarrassing me in front my friend.. Or are you actually going to ride it?, Regina looked up from the broom for the first time since theyd revealed it and gave her a very sharp grin. It was perfect. Emma frowned, she should have thought to bring the invisibility cloak. I wonder where I can find a good, challenging target.. A moist breeze hit her face and she couldnt tell which direction was even towards the surface. I told him to be sneaky. Regina was in the tack room since she knew her horses tack had been recently polished and stored in the general room when the boy shed seen last week walked in. Ive never thought of what you brought up, but I should have. Hows your summer going?, Alright, Emma said, she still couldnt figure out why Ms. Sapphire would be here and it was making her tense. Still she plastered a pleasant enough smile on her face as she directed Emma to a chair outside her office and Granny to a seat inside. Unfortunately, most of what she found were history books about the schools founding and how well it fared over the centuriesnot exactly useful. Were all just moving to the rhythm, I said and took her hand. It was supposed to drop off outside a hospital., Emma felt her face turn red as everyone stared at her. Really? Emma leaned closer to the book, pushing her glasses up on her nose. mimilano super soft merino. Emma pointed her wand above her head in unison with Ms. Sapphire and began to turn it in a circle as she says, Excito Pro Tempus. Emma felt the magic build up as she spoke, just as with any other spell, and a jet of blue light leaves her wand to hit the middle of the star. Lily! the mans voice called again, closer. Mothers false acquiescence to her request for mercy, Daniels screams of pain, the ash falling to the floor. She decided not to wear the hat though. It hadnt stopped her from worrying though. Do you have proof of these activities?, Regina frowned, Some, she covers her tracks well. Unbelievable. Regina was sitting on the bed, closing the book she was reading. They didnt right now, because he didnt look like himself. The result was that they were down to sixteen students and Regina was now the youngest flyer still in the tryouts. When you get to the station, youll see a pillar marked for platforms 9 and 10. For this, you will need a pass phrase and each letter will correspond with a number. Youll need Snows spell book, its where she wrote down any spells she helped create. NSFW at the end. Instead, it was as if she hadnt cast the spell at all. Emma, stop!. Her father wasnt just dead, her mother had killed him? As the other person turned the blind corner, and before they could see that shed hidden herself in the shadows, Regina incanted, Immobulus!, Her stalker instantly froze having been caught completely off guard. Not very good poison-er if I have to ask you to make it, are you? he replied with a cheeky grin. Uh, I dont know., The girl pouted, Come on, you can tell us!, The boy turned to Ruby, whos eyes widened at suddenly being roped into the conversation. So, Regina said, hopefully. Regina was content to wait with Emma for about twenty minutes until Emma finally spoke up. Hello, Regina greeted them, feeling her polite mask honed from years of social affairs slip into place only a little more stiffly than usual. Did they have a football team here? When she didnt Emma didnt if she was glad or annoyed not to have an excuse to keep ranting. My nephew is still asleep, un-aging, while my brother no longer remembers me., Emmas mind raced, there were people who were in magical comas or cursed into not remembering anything about their lives for years now. Regina floo-ed directly to Kings Cross from the lobby of the building her flat had been in. One of his brothers came as well, without his family. Yeah, weve been doing all sorts of tests. I just caught you! She punctuated the statement with an emphatic hand gesture. Yes. For a moment it looked briefly like she still wasnt going to tell Emma but then she relented, Im just having some trouble with a Defense Against the Dark Arts spell., Really? Emma asked automatically, she thought Regina was top of her class. Then I guess youre not coming in. And Sharon slammed the door in her face. She had a horrible decision she needed to make and she had laid awake every night trying to decide what to do. Regina tried to ignore the feeling of disappointment she got as she watched Daniel jog away. Regina stiffened, I havent the faintest idea what youre talking about. Her voice was crisp, but defensive. ***. She sighed and picked up her wand. I just told you I got special help learning it and Defense is my best subject. Emma closed her book, knowing her magical book cover made the pages seem to be about a muggle topic instead of Quidditch, but not wanting to risk it. Besides, she couldnt trust the other girls, and who knows what the lady would do to Splotch if she found her. 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? This is Emma Swan, a new student., Of course, of course, he said. Mary Margaret gave a little sigh, like Emma was the one being unreasonable. Frowning she, along with the rest of the class including McGonagall, turned to see Professor Gold push open the door and step inside. I think you could do anything you put your mind to, Regina.. Sometimes people didnt value potion-making and effort that went into itfor all they loved to complain about how hard the class was. The other two chasers followed her, but Regina refused to look after them or at anyone else, refused to meet their pitying gazes. The following morning, we intentionally slept in. Ruby had told her about vows, about the one her mother had given Emmas mother. I mean, I did brew this myself., Kathryns brow furrowed, You seem fine so far.. Mc-Professor McGonagall told me when she took me to get my things for school., Grannys eyes looked her over shrewdly. And his dad found him?, I think he found his dad, the woman corrected. Shed always suspected Mother had killed people, but now she had seen it with her own eyes. She eventually found a folded white blanket that might be it in the closet, I think I found it!, Really? Whats going on?, The curse, he replied, exhaustion evident in his voice. I cant do this without you.. Its not just Hans, MM. Finally, she pressed her lips together decisively and took a deep breath. Robin was standing next to the bed, fully dressed. Wonderful, Silvia said with a smile and lead her to the counter. After settling down at a table and another restaurant worker bringing her the drink shed ordered, Emma set about looking at some of her summer work and trying to figure out what to do firstat least she could take her time with all of this. Henry quickly got up from his place at the foot of the table to the chair opposite Reginas place at the middle. Unfortunately. Im only allowed to contact you because of the aurors, no one else can owl me and Im not allowed to go out in public. 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. Nine. Were still need to break the curse? Kathryn tried to remember the last time Regina had just agreed to leave work on time for anything or anyone besides Henry. Regina's world came crashing down around her (again) when Robin and Roland walked out of her life forever. A de-aged Emma gets exactly that when she awakens to find herself dependent on the Queen. Other than that, we couldnt wake up until about 2 p.m. We knew that we would leave the next morning, so after having breakfast - or lunch or snack, I dont know what to call it - we spent most of the day packing and we also went out to a nearby supermarket to buy some food and drinks for the way back home. She lowered her wand out of sight, but kept her grip on it. And, since theyd been visiting the castle, she could also remember the shock on their faces when the members escaped. She nodded again and slowly filled the small glass to drink again. Now, please go stand over there. I dont mind an excuse for a breakif you dont mind, that is, He seemed anxious not to inconvenience her and Regina was rather touched, not used to people being so careful with her preferences. Emma came a little closer and shook her head slightly, Unfortunately, no. And if she finished in time, maybe she would practice one of the potions for the exam. As soon as she was moderately awake, her eyes found Reginas. Did you get this from Madame Pomfrey or did you make it yourself? Kathryn pressed, although she stayed where she was and didnt try to grab for the bottle. She wasnt as good at flying with her knees as she would have liked but one of the third years couldnt do it at alland every position expected the player to be able to do that at least occasionally. The sound of their footsteps brought Emma back to the present. Incendio! David cast rather desperately. Ive never even heard of the Bavarian version.. Emma watched her and noticed there really wasnt much wrong with what Regina was doing. Emma kept talking though and Regina made sure to really listen to what Emma was and was not saying. Professor Gold?, Gold looked up from the potions he was checking on his desk, making sure all were labeled properly. Her dad had come here and gotten a wand, just as she doing now. The figure was a little higher than she would have liked, but it was also the most important security measure. The next morning, the blonde woman entered her friend's room and found her sitting on her balcony. Yup, Emma said with a smile, she hadnt actually wanted to start her history book. Ive known I need to escape her for years, my whole life it feels like, even as its seemed impossible. Shed tried to wear it anyways though. Regina was allowed to floo home instead of taking the train, something she both appreciated and resented. We didnt have any other choice, he seemed like he was trying to make a case, prove to her theyd made the right decision. She thought she might have heard something about care packages from home being inspected, but shed never gotten one so she wasnt sure. Emma Swan is successful in both her career and in the bedroom, but what happens when a random woman threatens to turn her ideals upside down and all around. Mother couldnt be here, she wasnt supposed to be here, not at Hogwarts. She supposed Ms. Sapphire had done all the hard work ahead of time, right? And I dont think, I know theres one about you. In unison, both students turned their brooms and took off after it, one on top of the other as they chased it around the entire pitch. Even the teachers were part of it. I dont know it although I want to learn it, Emma said, paling slightly with the memory of the first time shed been near one. OK, but you have to dance with me one more time before we go home.. His breath stank of fire whiskey. My apologies that were a little further than where we left, Ms. Sapphire said, not actually sounding particularly apologetic, as if she thought her Apparating them was service enough.
