Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

Jim and Steven nodded and together walked to the house Jess was stood by the main door ready and waiting she had felt the wrench from Khaat as she had been temporally dead. Steven and Jim walked in unison into the house Jess transfigured Khaat's clothes to her night wear and place a blanket over her to keep her warm until they got to her room. setting Khaat down on the bed they left the board under her for now so she could be kept as straight as possible while she healed but Jack did undo the straps.

Jess sighed and moved to check Khaat over topping up here and their to keep things healing. She looked at Brian and smiled as she wrote her notes and placed them on the end of the bed.

" I'm guessing Michael's talking with Robert, Brian don't worry she is in good hands" she said and sat next to it " go wash up and grab some food it might be some time until she wakes I will send for you when she does" she said her hand placed on top of Khaats as she lay in the bed.

"I..don't know if I can let go," he said softly to Jess. He had been providing Khaat's lifeforce from his own. Robert had said she was able to provide her own now, but there was a fear in Brian that remained. He wasn't sure he was ready to take the chance that she might not stay alive if he did let go.

It seemed to require more strength to let go than to continue providing the life support. He drew one hand away finally, the life support spell now broken. He left his remaining hand there because now he couldn't stop monitoring her to make sure she was indeed going to keep breathing, her heart still beating.

He was supposed to be her chief of security, but how could he fight a beast like that? She had known. She had known it was beyond them, and the best she had known to do, clearly, was to offer to reduce the carnage by offering herself up. She had evidently known they'd have all fought til their last for her, and she had stalemated them from what she had felt was going to be needless death and destruction. Now Brian didn't know whether to feel incompetent as hell, or whether to be proud of her for calculating this correctly, given the knowledge that she had.

Jess smiled and touched his remaining hand " you must let Robert and I do our jobs, she is, thanks to your energy, stable, but she need to build her own. " she said softly as she lifted his remaining hand gently from Khaat's but still in her own, away from Khaat " she is a strong woman Brian and she loves you, that will see her through, besides you know in your heart there is nothing else you can do for her right now, tend to your needs and I will send for you , I will not leave her bed side, I promise her needs are my only thoughts." she spoke looking into his eyes, her voice unwavering to show her sincerity to him and to her charge , Khaat.

Brian nodded. He was a skilled healer, but this time he was too close to it. It brought out too much for him. He left the room. There was so much to do. The bodies, the checking of the protection spells, perhaps changing the unplottables to make the place more unplottable. He needed to do what he could now to protect his family. The beast was gone. There was time now. He had to go to work.

He was on his way outside when Robert came inside. He stopped Brian by laying his hand on his shoulder. "Stop," he said to Brian softly. "The ground crew can handle that out there. I will deal with the protection spells."

"I won't be useless again!" Brian told him.

"You're not," Robert reassured him softly. "You're a leader. You dont' have to do it all yourself. You need to know when to delegate, and you need to know when to pull back for yourself and regroup. Go get yourself a drink. Warm up. Unwind. You're welcome to join Michael and me if you like. A warm brandy and a smoke might do you good. Come on." He took Brian down the hall to his office where Michael was waiting in front of the fire with a decantur of brandy, the glasses, and plenty of tobacco choices.

It took a couple of hours but Khaat finally woke. The first thing that she felt was pain. Intense pain--neck pain, pain in her whole spine, and the worst headache she'd ever felt in her life. She had thought she was surely dead, but clearly this was not the next realm. When she could open her eyes, all she saw was white ceiling. That didn't meet her definition of either heaven or hell either one. Escobar? Had he saved her? Where was he? She couldn't remember what had happened to him. She wanted to talk, and she couldn't manage it because of the throat and neck pain.

Jess had been sat next to Khaat when she saw her eyes open leaning over she smiled to her " lay still Khaat , your safe " she said softly placing her hand on Khaats forehead she drew of the pain she felt " that should make you feel better" she said making a note of what she had found and sending a note to Brian as she had said she would letting him know she was awake . Jess smiled back down at her " you hurt your neck rather badly so I would advise you not make any sudden movements, the wears gone" she said softly topping up the healing spell Robert had placed on her " don't try and talk ether , your vocal cords were bruised by the chain , I have sent for Brian he requested that I notify him as soon as you were awake " she offered her some water gently trickling it down a straw to her lips to make her feel more comfortable.

The water was most welcome. It temporarily soothed the irritation in her throat.

"How..." she wanted to know how she survived. She wanted to know of the beast had survived. If Escobar had survived. Had they lost anyone else? And she had no idea why the chain hadn't just instantly killed her.

Downstairs, Brian had listened to Michael telling Robert about the agreement he'd been pinned into with Khaat. The agreement to kill her if there was no other way out. Robert had been more disturbed that she had kept a wealth of information from them all in order to try to protect them from impossible odds. But he did, in his own way, respect her for making sure that if she were going to set herself out as bait and found no way out that her death would ultimately be in the hands of someone who loved her. It was something he might have considered himself had he been in her position. And it wasn't something Brian could argue with much either, really.

But when Jess's note came, he read it. "Khaat's awake," he told them softly. "Excuse me."

"We'll be up in a moment," Robert said, deciding to finish the last of his cigarette and the last bit of brandy in his glass.

Jess smiled " Brian Escobar from what I saw Escobar took the beast away with him nobody was lost , rest " she said softly hearing foot steps of Brian walking up to the room " as for being here and now thank Brian for keeping you alive" she said letting a little more of the cool water run down Khaats throat. " I guess love can even pass the veil too " she said smiling as she tended to her " I have to say he has some strength , he didn't want to leave your side" she said drawing off some pain she felt just start to creek up. Jess moved to the opposite side of the room as Brian entered and smiled.

"Thank you," Brian said, coming in. He went over to the bed and checked her first. It was just his need for reassurance. She was doing better than he expected. The damage in her neck was immense. It would take time. "We can do away with the side of the barn now," he said. He flicked his wand at it and disapparated it from under her. The bed was more comfortable than the wood, Khaat had to agree. "Better?" he asked.

"Yes," she managed.

"You'll feel better if you lay still," he told her. "Khaat, Michael told us about your agreement. I don't criticise you for that. I'm not happy you didn't tell us, but I know why you didn't. You knew we'd go right after the beast, against incredible odds."

"Where is the beast?" she asked.

"I don't know," he said softly. "Escobar grabbed ahold of him and apparated out with him." Khaat groaned. She didn't believe Escobar could survive. "Khaat, he protected you, but ultimately, he's a loner. He's spent centuries alone. Just because he might not come back doesn't mean he's dead. But do you realize? Abbey's litle scribble was right. Escobar faced down a werewolf and stood between him and you--to protect you. She truly has your gifts. Now--you need to rest. Is there anything you need?"

"More water? With some ice?" she asked.

"Certainly. Jess? I presume we do still have ice in the kitchen?" Brian asked. "I'm sure the ice water would taste good to her."

Jess smiled and headed down to leave them alone for a moment she grabbed some Ice water and headed back to the room on seeing Jacks back she placed her hand on it making him jump a little but he smiled as he felt the cuts and bruises start to heal " you'll be stiff but a warm shower and good nights sleep should help" she told him then after a quick kiss she headed back to the room poring fresh ice water into a glass and placing it next to the bed in case Brian wished to give her it as she straightened out the bed before moving to let a small trickle of ice water trickle down her throat " that better Khaat?" she asked softly with a smile.

"Yes," Khaat said, relieved. She looked at Brian. "You really do need to shower. You've looked better."

"Yeah, I suppose I have," he said, seeing he was clearly wearing all sorts of evidence of battles. He knew Jess would stay, so he got some clothes and headed to the shower.

Michael and Robert finished their conversation, and Michael went to help start breakfast. The sun was just coming up. Another day was beginning, and there were children that were soon going to be awake and hungry. Robert went upstairs to Khaat's room.

"Thank you for staying," Robert said to Jess. "But I think I hear the little patter of uncontrolled toddlers running amuck down the hallway. A great many of them. If I stay here, would you make sure they get dressed and don't get into trouble? Oh, and by the way, Khaat's boys seem to have figured out how to take their clothes off. That appears to be the new game since yesterday. Do try to not let them be naked, would you? I'll keep watch until her paranoid husband manages to finish looking more respectable. Maybe by then, one of our kitchen crew with send up coffee and tea."
