Time changes people and things!

It been days that they been hunting Maia down and they still haven't found out where she was, although they found her house doing various of charms and spells, and they found a couple of Tyler's things there as well as blood everywhereon the floor that they guess was Tyler's blood. After Tobias took it back to the office and did tests, he found out that it was indeed Tyler's blood that piss him off even more. He knew that Tyler was in a coma, but he didn't know what all happened to him, but after seeing Tyler's blood everywhere along her house, he could only guess that Tyler was beaten and tortured by Maia and a couple of other people. Although with Morgan's amazing hunting skills, they were closer to Maia's where abouts and told Tyler, he told him that he just wanted them to bring the b*tch down for him. It was something that him and Morgan were going to do m cause one it was their jobs and two she hurt Morgan partner and his best friend. 

Although months of searching they took a break to get some rest and catch up with family members and friends, as for Sam catching up with no one reslly. Although Sam was sitting in the three broomsticks drinking a butterbeer as his emerald eyes looked towards the door as he seen Hitame coming in. He knew that she probably wasn't to happy with him, but he did write her telling her that he was going looking for Sarah, who disappeared.  Although he wasn't sure if she ever gotten the letter or not, he really didn't know. 

" Who would've have thought that finding Sarah so hard to find?"Sam asked himself sighing as he ran his hand through his hair. Sam missed his little sister, it seemed like right after she graduate from Hogwarts she just disappeared, but Sam wasn't giving up on her. Although he might have hated her at first, but he loved her as if she was his blood sister instead of a adopted one. Needless to say, Sam haven't been the same since Sarah disappeared, it was like a part of him was missing. He wasn't his happy bubbly self anymore, he was cold and bitter now days, and didn't have any happiness in him. 


Looking at her he seen how nice she looked. " You look nice if it isn't obvious. " said Sam before his emerald eyes look at her completely. " So...what's the occasion, have a date or something? "Sam asked her softly but curiously. " Not that I care, just look nice just for a pop in visit love. " said Sam pointly before shrugging. Sam was a bit cold than he used to be, he was more of a douche now that really didn't care about anything or anyone.

Was it bad that she was so surprised to see Sam in the three Broomsticks when she walked in?

Probably not, he had been gone for a long time after all. Hitame had actually begun to think that he was never coming back and because of that she had started to slowly forget about his existence. That was mean, perhaps, on her part since it wasn't easy to forget about someone important. But then again, maybe hadn't been that important to her. At least, not in a romantic way.

She couldn't help the anger that had slowly begun to build up inside of her when her gaze fell on him after she walked into the pub. He'd been gone for a few months and she hadn't heard anything from him. Didn't she have a right to be mad? Maybe if she had actually been worried about what had happened to him and not just slowly tried to forget he was alive. Honestly though, no one could blame her. People in her life disappeared all the time, she was used to it and therefore didn't have much of a worrier complex to her.

"Love?" she echoed his last word, her eyes narrowing at the sound of it. He'd changed. That much she knew, he didn't act or sound the way he normally did. But that didn't mean he had to act like a douche to her. But if he was going to, then she would act the same way. "I don't think you have any right to be calling me 'love'. So I'd appreciate if it didn't happen again." she nearly spat.

Sam wasn't the only one who had changed. After everything that had happened to her during the summer - from finding out Naomi was alive and hated her now to getting hit by two spells and not remembering what happened to her to the accident on the train - she was surprised she was still even at the castle. All of those would have been the perfect excuses to leave and do whatever she wanted. But there was really only one thing that had kept her from doing that.

One person, actually.

Apollo. He was the reason she was trying to be okay. He was the reason she hadn't just left. It was all because he had shown her that people did worry about her, that he worried about her and she didn't want to make him worry any more than she already had. It was all because of him, but seeing Sam now.. she wasn't sure how long she could hold out with her act. She wasn't sure how long it would be before she started to break down. And the worst part? She knew that Apollo wasn't going to come around and help her through it, he must have better things to do.

Sam looked at her and chuckled, he could tell that she changed as well, but ttime changes people he guess. Things had changed Sam, from taking care of Maura's issue with Ryo to having no clue where his sister was, it was taking a great toil on him not physically but mentally. He was sure that Hitame knew about what happened to Maura, he was sure everyone knew of that, but now they were in a rocky boat something he never ever thought would happen between them. But I guess that served to prove that all good things must come to a end. Although for Sam, he never really had a happy ending, his life has been filled with hurt and disappointments.

" Will you take a damn bloody chill pill, it was a bloody joke! "said Sam rolling his emerald eyes at her. " Fine with with me, let me guess don't want me to call you Hit anymore either? "Sam asked his emerald eyes narrowing at her. Sam looked at her and his expression soften, it was like he was the old Sam that she knew. "Look I'm sorry I didn't tell you where I was, but please don't be mad at me, I was only looking for my sister who disappeared. " said Sam sighing. " I knew if I told you, then you would want to go or stop me, so I didn't tell you. " said Sam simply.

These past few months have taken a toil on him, it hasn't been good the past few months, he hoped things would start to look up for him and his friends. But things in life was never easy, if things were, then life would be perfect. Sam was anything from perfect, he made alot of mistakes, but that was who he was. Sam was a screw up, and he wasn't afraid to admit it, although was there anything he could do about it? No there wasn't, that was life. It sucked, and it hurt like hell, but it was how things were for him and he dealt with it.

Sam didn't have anyone to make it ok, he really didn't feel like he was honestly ok, so much was happening around him he just wanted it to all stop. From Sarah being gone to his two friends having a rocky relationship, he didn't know how much he could take, he just wanted everything to be ok again. Where was the time where everything was ok and everyone was happy? He wanted that time back, but he knew that it'll never happen again. It was funny how time changes everything, sometime in a blink of an eye, to where others it was over time.

She should have known she would receive a response like that. So why hadn't she? Why had she let herself get caught off-guard when she knew exactly what was coming? Merlin, she hated herself sometimes. She hated that she saw things coming(she'd has a couple visions) and either couldn't do anything to stop them or just didn't know when they were going to happen so she couldn't not be caught by surprise.

The Gryffindor had looked away from Sam with a roll of her eyes after he had raised his voice at her. Her eyes had widened from his words and she didn't want him to see it. When he started apologizing to her, she let her hands curl into fists but she refused to look at him. As he mentioned Sarah, her eyes narrowed back to their original form and her head shot up to look at him. "And you thought that I wouldn't find out anyways?! Ryo would have told me if I had asked him, he knew didn't he?" She asked defensively.

Even if she had wanted to ask him about Same, she wouldn't have been able to bring herself to do it. The ex-Hufflepuff had so much on his mind lately that she couldn't let herself be more of a burden to him. She felt bad for her friend, honestly, after everything happened with Maura he had too much to think about. He'd admitted that after their fights began, he started having second thoughts about their relationship.

Maura had been gone for four months, rehabilitating because of her bloodlust. Ryo had been faithful to her the entire time, hoping she wouldn't be different, but at the same time he had always been worried. He was worried that when she came back, she would try to attack their daughter again. Even after she was back and she was acting normally, Ryo couldn't bring himself to let his guard down. Every day he went to work, when Hitame was there interning, he would mention how odd it felt to leave her alone with the baby. He would always say he was worried about his daughter - even though she was with her mother.

Hitame just felt so bad for Ryo. He didn't think he could talk about it with anyone, because everyone else had problems of their own. So the little information he had divulged to her was because she had pried - if only a little bit. He knew all of her problems, so why couldn't she help him a little bit and know about his problems. Ryo had grown up so much more since he left Hogwarts and Hitame always wondered if the same thing would happen to her. Everyone already told her often how mature she acted for a sixteen year old, but she knew that she was still naive and immature. She still had a lot of growing up to do, and if showed now in her conversation with Sam.

She realized that she had remained silent for too long and she shook her head, shoving certain thoughts out of her mind. Right now she couldn't be thinking about what was going on with Ryo in his head. If she thought about it too much, she would feel compelled to tell Sam and then she was sure he would tell Maura and that wouldn't be good for Ryo. What he had were only doubts, and she was sure they were fading now that he had started to realize that Maura was really back to her old self. But that wasn't stopping their little fights and she knew she couldn't do anything to help them.

"Merlin I feel so helpless.." she muttered, accidentally opening the gate for Sam to ask questions if he chose to. Her eyes widened again she cursed at herself internally. She tried to think of something to cover her blunder up and she remembered that Sam had asked if she didn't want him to call her Hit anymore. "I don't think it matters what you call me, as long as it isn't love. Hit is my usual nickname after all, so I have no right to take that away from you." She told him, her voice cracking slightly - showing that she was nervous about something.

I have to find a way to get out of here quickly. If I don't I'll tell him everything Ryo's told me and I'm sure that's the last thing he wants and needs. Hitame bit her lower lip, trying to find a solution. Maybe I can find a way to distract Sam, but how? She began racking her brain, needing something to happen to help her distract him. She couldn't just go running out of the pub, hoping that he would follow her. Hoping that he would be worried enough to wonder what had happened.

Besides, she'd done that before to Apollo and that hadn't gone well. She had ended up getting cursed and she still wasn't sure what side-effects were going to start showing up - if there were any. I wonder if he knows about what happened to me. Ryo knows.. Maybe he mentioned it to Sam? I doubt it.. I feel like Ryo forgot about what happened to me. Not really. She knew that Ryo hadn't forgotten, he constantly checked up on her when she went to work. Almost every day she went to the Ministry he would ask how she felt as soon as she walked through the door.

Yet she constantly thought that Ryo forgot about what happened to her. Why did she always do that? She knew that Ryo was always there for her, he had been since she was a third year and he was a fifth year. Since they met the two of them had become best friends and no one thought it was weird that she had befriended the Vampire boy. She had always been an odd girl who had always liked magical beings like Vampires and Werewolves, though she had a clear favoritism for Vampires.

The sixteen year old had started to drift off into her thoughts again - it had been happening a lot more recently. Maybe that was a side-effect of the two spells that hit her? She blinked and shook her head before looking at Sam. "Have you talked to Ryo?" she asked, knowing that her question might cause him to ask about anything that would involve his thoughts about Maura and their marriage but she wanted to know if Ryo had mentioned anything to him about her accident.

Was she hoping that he had? Who knows, not even she knew herself.

Sam didn't mean to be cold with her, it was just the way he was now,  after everything that has happened he didn't seem to have any happiness left in him.  Sam wasn't expecting to see Hitame,  he was a bit off guard just by seeing her here after not seeing her in months.   Although Sam asked himself this one small question, did he still like Hitame?   Well... of course he does,  he never stopped liking her,  but he knew that after everything that had happened over the past few months Hitame probably hated him and moved on.   He honestly didn't blame her for hating him and moving on,  he did practically left her after he kissed her and told her that he likes her.


Sam looked at her and nodded his head.  " Yes Ryo knew,  he was one of the few people who knew,  I think he was one of the few that offered to help if I remember correctly. "said Sam.  "Although I told him that he had enough on his plate and I got it,  I also told him not to tell you where I was,  and I guess he kept the promise."said Sam.  " But you know,  Ryo isn't the only one who knew,  Sophia knew as well although you don't talk to her anymore from what I heard. " said Sam.  Since Sophia helped Henry out,  Sam realized that her and Sophia weren't as close as they used to be,  he could tell that it made Sophia upset even if she didn't want to admit it.  Sam didn't know why Hitame and them were so distance from them,  what did they ever do to them?  Nothing bad as he recalled but at least he wasn't the only one receiving the cold shoulder so was Sophia,


Sam knew about Maura and Ryo's problem and he honestly felt bad for them,  they were such a strong couple, he hated that they were breaking apart due to this.   Ok...so Maura had a MAJOR problem controlling herself,  but she changed and Sam could see that she had.   He just couldn't believe that Ryo was having second thoughts about their relationship all because of one mistake Maura made,  of course he knew that he was just being wary,  but he honestly needed to trust Maura again like he used to.  Although he didn't know what was going to happen to them,  but all he knew that Maura was a complete mess over it,  she wasn't eating right as well as sleeping right although she drank enough to keep her from attacking anyone and keep her strength up Sam knew that it wasn't enough.  Sam was sure that Ryo didn't know what he was doing to Maura,   Sam knew all about her side of the story,  but for Ryo's part he honestly didn't know.  


Sam felt bad for both of them,   they really didn't have anyone to talk to about it,  but Maura have been coming to him and Sophia for comfort, of course Sophia took her under her wing and took care of her.  That was one thing Sam could say about Sophia,  she was always there when you needed her, no matter what you did she still helped you.  Everyone have grown up since they left Hogwarts,  they weren't the same kids as they were,  they were having real life trails and burdens every single day.   Sam knew that he changed after he graduated from Hogwarts,  he became more matured and grown,  weird how life changes you.   Although that was part of growing up,  you got older and wiser,  you are no longer the kid that you used to.


Sam realizing that he was in a daze for a long time snapped back into reality as he took a drink of his butterbeer.  He just couldn't help but not to worry about Maura and Ryo,  but he was told by both of them not to worry about it, but he was he hated seeing his friends like this.   Especially Maura,  she been his best friend since forever,  seeing her not happy and bubbly was a bit weird and depressing to him in all honesty.  Sam knew that he couldn't help them,  this was something that they had to get over by themselves.   Sam just felt helpless that he couldn't help them,  he hated that he wasn't able to help his friends.


Although he realized that he wasn't the only one who seemed to be in deep thoughts about things,  Hitame seemed to look more deep in thoughts then he was.  Sam pushed away all the problems that he was having lately from his head and tried to relax,  although it wasn't easy seeing how thoughts kept swimming back into his mind.   Ugh...would these thoughts ever go away?  I just want to enjoy a butterbeer in peace! Sam thought to himself.  Sam set down his butterbeer and sighed to himself as he ran his hand through his hair as his emerald eyes looked out the window at the falling snow that was hitting the ground.   Now this is peaceful and relaxing! Sam thought to himself watching the snow falling outside the window,  feeling all his thoughts and feelings slipping slowly away.


Sam snapped back into reality as he heard what Hitame said.  "I don't know what you're going through Hit,  but I ensure you that you're not helpless, although you may feel like that but you can't help everyone Hit."said Sam honestly.   " If you don't mind me asking, why you feel that way? "Sam asked her softly but curiously.  Sam chuckled.  " Ok I won't call you that anymore I promise,  and are you ok? " Sam asked her his emerald eyes with worry in them.   Sam saw that she was a little nervous about something and seemed like she wanted a escape route,  he honestly didn't blame her,  he basically put her on the spot about asking what she meant.  Although he was sure that she wasn't going to open up to him like she used to,  after all she probably hated him and didn't want to see him,


Sam looked at her and sighed.  " If you want to leave just go,  I'm not stopping you from leaving if you want to leave, I never have and I never will. "said Sam softly but honestly.  Drinking down his butterbeer,  he looked at her before giving her a weak smile before ordering another butterbeer.   He honestly wanted a firewhiskey,  but he knew that if he had that,  he was probably going to get drunk off it.   He didn't want that,  not right now,  even if he had so many thoughts in his head he needed to stay focus for Maura and his friends.  He needed to be strong for his friends even when they weren't,  they needed him,  he couldn't be losing it when they needed him.


Sam didn't know anything about what happened to Hitame,   Ryo didn't tell him anything about Hitame,  so Sam had no idea what was going on.  Only thing that he knew was what was going on between him and Maura,  he didn't know anything else besides that.  Sam really didn't talk to Ryo that much anymore, since Maura's accident and sending her to St. Mungo's,  they seemed to be all drifting apart.  People might think that he and Ryo talked to each other about everything,  to be honest they never really have a close relationship,  they were more like Co workers and friends because he was Maura's best friend.  He was never best friends with Ryo,  he really didn't know what he was, but it sure wasn't best friends or anything like that.


Sam looked at her and nodded. " Yeah I've talked to him, but not lately. "said Sam honestly but honestly. " Although it just been on how him and Maura were and all that, other than that we don't talk about much, I haven't talked to him in a while. " said Sam honestly. " I been busy trying to find Sarah and helping Maura, Ciara is my god daughter so I'll do anything to help her and Maura. " said Sam softly but honestly. Sam was always there for Maura along with Sophia, but him and Sophia were trying to help both of them as well, but they never gotten them together due to them fight again. Sam sighed to himself as he ran his hand through his hair again before taking a drink of his butterbeer, he just wanted things to go back to the way they were, but he knew that it may never be the same way again.
