Raporters and random acts

jackk made sure Archangel was safe on his perch in the living room and watched Brain walk up stairs after amoment he followed seeing him sat on Khaats bed "his loss you know" he said folding his arms "you know she is strong and will get over it and him" he said again not even knowing if he was making a diferance "you know the day they wed she looked beautiful , happy that he'd returned " he took a step into teh room and placed his hand on Brians shoulder "she's not dead , she will recover and she'll kick his sorry ass all the way to askaban and back again , with abby at her side and us to back her up" he gave a sigh "come on, we have to be strong for her, I guess you could say were her strength now, shes done so much for us now its our turn to pay her back for it." his own voice telling him he too felt like he wanted to riup Rob limb from limb if ever he saw him.

"You're right. I bet Rob had no idea she really had so many big brothers who will kick his sorry tail for mistreating her. I think we're taking that worse than the fact that he was selling illegal wizarding potions and making millions doing it. I think I'm far angrier that he was so abusive to Khaat. If he ever hurts her again, I will kill him. That's a promise." He rose and went to Abbey's room, waved his wand and said, "Shrink and Pack!"

Then he went back to Khaat's closet and repeated the spell, her dresser drawers, her personal things, and ordered them to also "Shrink and Pack." He found some of her personal items in the bathroom and ordered them to "Shrink and Pack."

He drew out several tiny, shrunken boxes from his pocket and set them on the bedroom floor and enlarged them. "That shouldl help, I think," he said. "I'm sure you can make them bigger if you need to. Let's see if we can get her moved in one load. Oh, and I'm going to check her study. She is such a bookworm If I know her, she has some special things or books in her study we don't want to leave behind. I'm going to let you stay here and supervise in case Khaat's magic is still here. Robert said it got a bit wonky here from time to time.

He went downstairs and was greeted by an ottoman that thought it was a dog. Apparently it had been sleeping in the study. It yipped and barked and ran excitedly at his feet. Brian laughed out loud, truly amused by an overgrown footstool that thought it was a dog. "Okay, You can go," he laughed. He shrank the footstool and put it in his pocket, telling it to be still.

He went through her bookshelves and took some of her most worn, favorite books, anything of Remus's, and her important papers. He knew too well where she would hide things, and took her most private things. He took anything that Khaat would consider of any value.

He came back out and found the furniture crowding around him. "Oh, so you all want to go, huh? Well, I don't know if I have room for all of you. Lets try this. Go back to your places, please." The furniture obeyed and he cast a deep sleep spell on all the furniture so it would not grieve Khaat's being gone and the house being empty.

He went back upstairs. "Crazy house. What do you know about this ottoman that thinks its a dog? I decided to take it. I shrank it and put it in my pocket. I presume she knows about this crazy footstool?"

jack watched as Brian left shrinking and packing stuff he knew she would need soon both boxes were filled and shrunk them to fit in his pocket , hearing Brian walk up the stairs he laughed "ow yes thats right , Abby made him when she was in one of her playful moods before she was born I think" it had been a while snice her had been in her house "jessica can tell you more about it" he chukaled thinking of a shruken ottoman running around the cabin "well i think were all done here " he said looking around as he walked over to Archangel and let him sit on his arm, he spoted the two cats in the carry cases " ow by the way its not I don't like cats , its they don't like me" he said grinning as one stretched out its paw as if waving in the air.

"I think so," Brian agreed. He sent the cats with their kibbles to Katherine and then looked at what seemed to be all of Khaat's life shrunken and put into two boxes. "She deserves better than this. I swear, if she and Abbey have to live with me for the rest of their lives, they won't ever go through not having a place to stay or money for food ever again. I promise her that." He sighed heavily. "I can't let my brain keep going here at how angry I am. It just doesnt' help," he said quietly. "Let's go. I think we're done here." He locked the door of the house from the inside. It was empty now. Khaat was now gone from here. It seemed sad. There was so much of her still left behind, and yet, they had to help her move forward now. He wondered if she ever would want to come back here again. His last act was to conjure dropcloths to cover all the furniture in the house and to order them to cover every piece of furniture. "I'm ready to go," he told Jack. "You?"

Jsck looked around and nodded "yeap all done" though he too could not help feel a little sad , this had once been a place of laughter for her and Jessica , she had helped her thew a lot of hard times , with one last look he turned to leave but on leaving he left one last farewell gift, a single red rose on the coffee table that would never wither or die, as a reminder life still exists in that house.

"come on back to your cabin " he said still holding Archangel "hes better off at your place , more room to fly and be himself" he chuckled "Humm maybe steven should change into an eagle and follow Archangel'sd exaple , to chill out more " he said chucklaning "ow you still up for cards later, Jessica can drop of eh drinks oviousely alcahol free for us but not steven " he grinned.

"I have all kinds of drinks, both alcoholic and non alcoholic. I'm good there. I think I have everything we need already. Okay. Let's go." He apparated them, with the boxes, back to his place. He pointed his wand at the box that held Abbey's things. "You--first room on the right. Go unpack." Items began flying out of the box in their shrunken state and began to enlarge slowly as they went up the stairs. He pointed his wand at the other box and said, "You! First room on the left. Go unpack!" The box of Khaat's things began unpacking and flying up the stairs, enlarging slowly as the other box of items had.

He snatched Archangel's perch before it flew upstairs and placed it in the living room in front of the enormous windows overlooking the woods and a stretch of open sky. "He should like that view." He drew the ottoman out of his pocket and restored it to its normal size. The ottoman seemed to be a bit confused by furniture that was not alive and was just, well, furniture. "Don't worry, Boy," Brian laughed, "You'll have a lot of company. Be patient." Then he turned to Jack. "We'll give this a few minutes and see whether we like where things are placed. Then if you still think Jessica could warm up Khaat's room and Abbey's for them, you're welcome to go get them."

Jack nodded nd watched the things head up stairs till both boxes were empty shrinking them again he placed thm in a draw out of the way. "ow knowing ehr she will any way i'll go get her " he said and walked out side aperating away.

Several moments later he returned with jesica wrapped in his arms , he smiled at her as she after amoment got her legs "told you it was beautiful but you can't know whee it is " he said to her and sighed knowing she would agree.

jessiac ghad been in the kitchen when jack apperaed calling for her , she plced her cloth on the counter and haded into the living room . she listened as he explained her fce growing concerned , when he said would she help jessica smacked him arm "of course I would you idiot, but what about teh twins and andrew?" she asked Jeck clled threw the floo network for there nanny Mrs Potts arived and imidialy andrew ran up to her huging her.

"Andrew we have to go some where, don't worry we will be back in an hour or so" but seeing jack face she noded 2ok I will be bck you father has to work" andrew nodded as he dragged the babysiter Mrs pottts into teh kitchen "cookies " he shouted.
Jesica turned to him "ok take me there" she said and held him tight as they aperated away aprearing infront of a log cabin. she walked over to the frount door as jack opened it

"Hello, Jessica," Brian smiled, offering her a handshake. "I'm always open to meeting a friend of Khaat's. I don't know if you know what's been going on, but Robert thinks its best if she and Abbey stay here for awhile, so we're moving her here. We've shut down her Hogsmeade house for now. I want her comfortable and pampered here. She deserves to feel like a princess. Jack thought you might be able to add a few feminine touches to her room and Abbey's. I'd be grateful for that. Money's no object. You need money for something, I'll pay for it. Just speak up. Jack, you want to show her around and let her do whatever she thinks is best?"

jessic smiled to Brian and took his hand shanking it and smiling " Yes I know " she hook her head at the thoughts that now ran thew her mind " thats ok I'll find my way, and you keep your money I am here because I want to be not because i have to " she moved along to the stairs and up to the first room on the right and smiled "you did a good job " she said moving in to the room and placing a small blanket in the crib with a wave of her hand the room warmed up to the right tempature , she never even blinked out of place it was as if Jesoica had ben touing this sort of thing for years "ok Khaat 'sroom" she move to the next room that sat opasite "nice she can see abby but be far enouph a way she has peace " walking in again she waved her hand and then poited to teh bed it imidiatly tuned its self down ready and waiting for khaat to arrive " I would say everyting is ready" jessica moved to jack and stood with him her arm around his waist "from what Jack told me she needs all the freinds she can get ad from what hes told me about you , your the best she can have" she smiled to him "now while im here i'll fix both of you a meal I am guessing you both haven't eaten yet, and I will not take no for anawnser ,I know you men" she said grining as she qickly kiesed Jack and headed to the kitchen.
