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.

Jess moved the glass and placed it next to Khaats bed she looked to Khaat and shook her head " we haven't found anything yet to give us any more than what you know " she told her honestly then looked at Belby. "We port its quicker and more direct." she said " and good , make sure you eat before you sleep." she told him " I'll send some soup up for Khaat. " she moved to the door and over to the Nursery gathering the kids for supper as she lead them down to the dining room.

Jack returned laughing loudly as he did " ow sorry he cursed me as he opened the box and saw his mouse , ow now he's going to get me back for that " he told them he smiled seeing Jess with the kids walk in and settle into their seats.

" Angus would it be possible for some soup to be sent up to Khaat and Belby" she could use some extra energy right now as Belby could use it too" she asked

"Should I presume that the Minister also sometimes walks?"  Belby asked, his mind racing now.

"Nearly daily, in all kinds of weather," Khaat said.  "Not any routine routes, but he prefers to walk."

"Nevertheless, it is somewhat predictable," Belby said, looking at them both. Then he looked at Khaat. "It appears you know less than you thought you did before. Perhaps this wasn't wasted. Especially if you were all of the presumption that they were after you, then perhaps you were not entirely correct.  I don't know yet if you were entirely wrong, but perhaps you were not the only targets.  Is the Minister the man of strategy he is supposed to be?"

"I think he is," Khaat said.

"Then he might also have figured out that until they make their next move, it is little more than a gamble to try to predict their intentions. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn't see much other course now than to wait, I'm afraid."

"Oi," Remus said. "This scarely sounds like resting.  Let the others deal with this for this afternoon and tonight.  You've only survived the morning. You still have the afternoon and evening to go."

Downstairs, Angus looked up from his task of filling soup bowls for those at the table.  "I've been asking if they were awake, and people keep blowing me off," he said, unintentionally venting at Jess.  "I've never let her go without a tray.  I'll get it now."  He went to the kitchen and prepared trays to sent up to them.  

Michael didn't respond. He understood Angus's frustration.  He didn't like being ignored either or treated like part of the furnishings. He saw Dakota reaching already for a piece of bread and handed it to her, rescuing her cup before she spilled it.

"Ask next time," he said to the tot gently.  She looked at him and then nodded.  "Jess," Michael said once Angus was in the kitchen. "Don't take it personally. Sometimes he doesn't feel like as valued a fighter as he wants to be. Sometimes he feels like he's just a cook, and when he was home, he found some of his family thinks he's a laughing stock.  I'll try to talk to him this afternoon after the kids are settled for their naps."

As Michael was talking, Edward perked up, uncertain why. A moment later, Robert arrived in the living room.

"We weren't expecting you home for lunch, Robert," Edward said. "You rarely come home just for that."

"I didn't," Robert said. "I want to see for myself that our wounded are alright. And I wanted to meet with the grownups after the kids are down for their naps. Do you mind setting one more place?"

"Already on it," Michael said, as he began setting a place for Robert.

"Shall I take it that Belby hasn't left her?"

"No," Brian said. "He hasn't."

"Let him stay as long as he likes this afternoon. We won't move him until the end of his shift and the start of the night shift, I don't think. "

"So be it, but I am claiming the nightshift with my own wife for myself," Brian said.

"I don't think anyone feels that they need to be a third party in your room tonight unless its truly medically necessary," Robert laughed. "None of us need that much information." Angus's tray for Khaat and Belby zipped out of the kitchen, high up near the ceiling to avoid hitting anybody and sped up the stairs towards the bedroom. Robert frowned. "I hope he's not overshooting that thing," Robert said, a bit concerned.

Jess looked at Angus and frowned watching the tray fly passed them all very quickly.She felt his frustration but nobody had ignored him. Jim himself had sent up a tray of tea for Marcus or had he missed that. Jess signed a she tried to block out the negative energy but ended up shaking her head at feeling tension building around her. finishing feeding James she stood up " I'm going to go swim I need to clear my head " she said and headed down to the pool . Jack sat quiet and looked at Michael.

" I find it best to let her do that, it helps when she can't control her ability." he told him as Jaylen and Caitlin both grabbed for his hand. Steven looked at them all.

" okay I'm going to check the green houses once this lots fed, not done those in a while, any preference to veg if its ready to pick?" he asked knowing by now a few should be ready.

Robert watched the short burst of frustration from Angus and then Jess's rejection of him. Angus did not come from the kitchen and join the others again once Jess had rejected him.

"I said I'd talk to him, and I will," Michael said. "But however she copes with whatever she's thinking or feeling is up to her. And, Steven, as far as vegetables go, we use such a variety, that you probably ought to pick whatever is ripe. We can store it better than it will keep still on the vine."

"No, Michael" Robert said, thinking as he watched this unfold, "Why don't you let me talk to Angus? He's clearly not being understood here somehow, and perhaps I need to help him decide what he wants."

Edward said nothing. He knew exactly why Angus was frustrated and angry, but since he wasn't Angus's boss, it wasn't up to him to solve it.

Upstairs, Khaat was sharply keying in on Angus's frustration. It felt so much like her own in so many ways that at first she had thought it really was her own. Then she realized it was Angus's energies. She pulled herself awake as the tray arrived. Belby set it down on the dresser.

"Oh, you're awake," he said. "Are you in the mood for some lunch?"

"In a moment, perhaps," she said, tossing back the covers and using her good hand to pull herself up into a sitting position. He went over to her.

"Where are you going?" he frowned.

"I know why he's angry. Help me up."

"Why who's angry?" he frowned. "Look, I'm not new at working with seers, but most of them at least try not to start in the middle of their thoughts, if for nothing more than my ignorant benefit. Do try, would you?"

Steven looked at Michael and nodded " of course Michael " he said and smiled to him as he finished feeding the kids. Jack finished and looked to Michael then looked up the stairs knowing Khaat would have sensed Jess and Angus.

" okay I'll go talk to Jess some one better check on Khaat " he said Jim moved from his chair and headed up the stairs to Khaat room. Opening the door he saw Khaat and Marcus.

" okay I don't want o know why your out of bed but I do know if Robert found you he'd not be happy" he said walking in " before you ask every things okay down stairs, Angus got a little steamed up but Roberts going to talk to him, Jess is in the pool enough said " he looked at Marcus " should get her back in bed."

"Just trying to make sense out of it," Belby said. "Now, look,..." Belby told her. "If you really want to talk to Angus, I'll have him come to you."

Khaat knew that if Jess was in the pool, she was trying to burn off her own tensions.

"Did they fight?" She asked Jack.

"Is that something you need to solve? Really?" Marcus asked her. "Come on. Enough. Trust me just a little." He took the covers from her hand and covered her, and put some pillows behind her to let her sit up. "Is there coffee on that tray, by chance, Jack?" He was hoping to bribe her with a cup of French Roast.

Jim looked at Khaat and shook his head " no they didn't Angus got upset I think and Jess picked up on it " he said as he walked over to the tray " yes Belby there is and its hot " he pored out a cup blowing across it to cool it as he carried it to him " here she could use this" he said but he returned and pored one for Belby slipping in a small spot of whisky .

"Here this is for you , it'll help with your soreness, i'm no healer but I use it " he said and smiled pulling a chair for Belby to sit down next to the bed where Khaat was. " they'll cool off don't worry" he said folding his arms across his chest as he stood looking at them both.

"Thank you," Belby said, grateful that someone could provide him the answers he didn't have. And he was more than grateful for the coffee--and the whiskey. "That's about the only potion I ever use," he said, with a slight grin. "No offense, Khaat, but I don't use healers. Well, hardly ever. 'Don't trust them."

"You'll get over it if you're here very long," she said. "Jack, Angus has been upset for awhile now. His family thinks he's settled for bottom-of-the-bin employment when he's a good fighter and a superb sailor. And he feels taken for granted here. Most of the time when you lot are busy fighting the bad guys, he's staying behind in the kitchen. He really, really misses the action. I don't think he blames any of you. I just think he'd really appreciate someone taking over a meal or so every so often for him so he could either train or go along with the rest of you. I think that's all he really wants."

"All I've seen of him, so far, is that he's in the kitchen from about 4 am til about 8 or 9 at night," Marcus said.

"And most days, that's true," Khaat said.

"And the old man?"

"Don't let him hear you call him that. Michael. My godfather. He's stepped in to help because cooking 5 star meals for two dozen people all day every day is a huge job. Michael has...well,...other skills. He's retired now."

Jack nodded at Belby as he spoke. " its all I use most times, ow Khaat do you think a spar with Angus would help, you know kinda get his blood up a bit?" he asked " and hes so not taken for granted hes a hell of a fighter." he said and smiled " guess we really haven't told him that lately I guess" he said and sighed " I'll talk to the others and see if we can't arrange a rest day ,you know send out for food so he doesn't have to cook and can relax" he looked at them both.

Jess finished her swim and felt much better drying off she headed up to her room to change passing the door she looked in on Khaat. " that's a good sign" she said smiling " ow Belby don't let Robert catch you with whisky in your coffee" she could not help but smile " but if it helps" she nodded to Jack who chuckled.

" I hold my hands up I gave him it " he admitted and saw Jess chuckle as she left for their room. " shes a darlin really" he said

"Possibly," Khaat said, in answer to Jacks' suggestion of a sparring match. "But I like the other idea about letting him out of the kitchen."

"Does anyone else know how to cook besides him and Michael?" Belby asked.

"Yes," Khaat said. "We have a lot of good cooks here."

"Then, perhaps the answer is in letting others share the cooking duties with him. Or you could use spells to cook." He saw Khaat's hesitation to magically created food. "Okay, forget I mentioned that. I order pizza relatively well."

"You don't cook, then."

"No. Not really. I dine out, though, exceptionally well," he smiled. She smiled.

"Daddy won't say anything about the whiskey," Khaat said. "Technically, I've prescribed it for him. I told him where the bottle in this room was. And besides, its something Daddy might very well do himself. He's not going to care--unless Belby gets drunk."

"I am always functional," Belby said. It was true. Belby knew his limit. When Jack talked about his affection for his wife, Belby just said, "I'm sure she is."
