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 looked at Khaat as she spoke "I...I didn't know, I just feel a fear , I don't even know why but its there " she said and looked at Jack playing with Andrew"I want to go over and play with them , part of me wants that but the other .... is scared" she looked down at the twins now sleep and then back to the pool , she knew she could not keep this fear and took a deep breath "Khaat .. I want to learn " she said looking at her "it felt wrong when you...I wanted to help but I couldn't" she looked at Brian then at Khaat.

"Well," she said, "if you want to learn, then there's no time like the present. Brian?" she asked.

"I agree. We'll take everything at your speed. If you get uncomfortable, you just say so," Brian said. "I won't let anything happen. I promise. And, believe me, I would never have let anything happen to Khaat. Not ever. She was only a few inches from me. You want to just try walking in the water first? I promise no funny stuff. I won't let go unless you ask me to."

Jes looked over t Jack who nodded Andrew smiled clinging to his fathers neck but only because he had got soaked . slipping out teh towel she stood up again her arms around her once more as she stood loking at the water and how the light shimmered off it. Her mind now saying like the light off a silver blade , she quickly closed her eyes to teh water hoping Brian whould stop the fear she had, opening ehr eyes again she looked at him and nervusly nodded to him.

He walked over to the pool steps slowly to avoid making her uncomfortable. "Relax a little, Jess," Khaat said, smiling, knowing how she appreciated humor, "It isn't every day you can be in the arms of another man right in front of Jack and not have him care." Robert laughed out loud, not expecting that from Khaat.

"I'd say Khaat's just fine," Robert said, laughing. "So Andrew, what do you think of the Andrew-sized pool? It looks like fun to me. And you know, all pirates have to learn how to swim. Especially if they're going to work for me and Brian. You never know when it might come in handy. "

jess loked at jack again and brian , when Khaat said the she laughed a long with them , but saw jack smile to show he trusted Brian . Reatching out she placed a hand on his shoulder as she steped back in teh water one hand went to grab the side, but as she touched Brian she saw things and felt emotions from him, and slowly pulled her had back from the side instead resting it on his shoulders. gaining some confidance from where she could only guess from him as she found her self away from the side standinfg both hands gripping Brians arms , Anbdrew thinking it was fun splashed Jessbut as the water hit her she pulled clsoe to brian her head resting on his chest as she tried to control her thougths and breathing as she heard Jack tell andrew not to splash around mommy.

Khaat watched Brian's calm and utterly peaceful strength just automatically come forward. She loved that part of him. It had been that side of him that had helped save her life when Remus died. He'd had that within him even when they were both 16, except that over the years, she had watched that part of him grow to be, in her opinion, his biggest asset.

Khaat remembered a night when they were about 14 and were home on a summer break. They had wandered completely off the Lupin farm and were so far deep into a cave they'd been exploring that they could not begin to find their way out when it got dark. Brian had been a pillar of strength that night. He had managed to keep his wand lit all night and had sat with her on the cave floor, putting his arm around her to keep her warm. She remembered of being afraid that night--until he simply sat with her, talking. They ended up talking all night long and into the early hours of the morning until Remus found them safe and sound.

It was that same strength that he showed her the night Abbey was born--when Rob abandoned her and she believed she and Abbey were both going to die because of how fragile she already was. She remembered him walking in and his serenity cutting the fear like a knife in her hospital room as he took it upon himself to actually sit on her bed, sit her up and lay her back into his chest, and take her hands in his. It had been his calm, steady voice she heard that coached her through until Abbey arrived safe and sound. And it was that same strength that now shielded her from every harm.

She felt confident that if Jess could use her seer's abilities to pick up on not just his physical strength, but also that peace that he carried within his spirit, she believed Jess would relax and put herself in his hands. She listened to him giving Jess calm, quiet reassurance as they simply walked slowly and steadily in the water. When Andrew's splashing spooked her, Brian was calm and simply held her until the splashing stopped. Then he encouraged her again by simply saying softly, "It's gone. You're alright. Walk with me--I have you."

Jess heard his voice and nodded stepping back from him again, as she stood she saw all the things he had done with and for Khaat the calmness and strength he given not just in himself but for others he worked with and she relaxed "this...this isn't that bad" she said she looked down at the water but this time she saw peace felt nothing but the water lap at her thighs as she moved threw it, her fear thought still there was slowly being pushed away. She knew it would take more than one session to completely take it way enough that she could swim but for now walking was enough.

Jess thought back as she moved why had she been so scared it was just water she bathed in it drank it so why could she not swim in it, her mind drifted as she walked back to a dark place she could feel water running down her face, a cold continuing stream never ending on to her face sometimes fast to the point she fought for every breath she took, other times slow so slow she thought it had stopped but it hadn’t. Jess in her minds eye saw h thought change to those of seeing brain there facing her. His voice controlling her fear but nothing else, her heart was for jack.

She looked at Brian “could…could we go a little deeper?” she asked she wanted to know if she could let it reach her chest, inside she knew she was safe , she found her self locking away another fear. As she moved she slowly felt the water rise as she drew into deeper water. Her breathing faltered only once when the warmish water touched her chest. She could feel her heart beating fast as the touch of it against her reminded her of that feeling.

She knew she had to ask Robert to do something about the feeling, as she knew she could not stay like this and she could not count on Brian every time she wanted to go swimming. Taking a deep breath she felt her self sip deeper into Brian and felt a stronger confidence she knew it was the strength he felt inside. now it seeming to sit inside her too and she smiled to him, glancing back at Khaat and nodded to show she was still ok.

Khaat knew Jess was tapping into Brian's inner strength--the parts of him that made Brian so special and prt of what made Khaat admire him so much. She watched Brian lead her a little deeper in the water--perhaps not as much as Jess might have wanted, but enough that the water rose around her by a few inches. It didn't take Khaat's seers abilities to know Jess was struggling with some new flashbacks about old traumas. Brian was already onto that, and he was addressing it the best way he knew how--by helping her move through the fear.

Brian was a great believer in not being crippled by fear but rather in moving through it. He understood fear, but he was determined on mastering it as best he could. And Khaat was glad that Jess was really trying to face hers.

It made her own thoughts drift to Rob and how she had been so afraid she could not live without him. Well, that fear was leaving slowly, she recognized. She knew she didn't have anything to take its place yet, and now she was having to cope with just utter emptiness and the feeling that she had no real purpose anymore. That, though, seemed silly. Rob had never really been there much even when they were getting along.

"Khaat," her father said very softly, interrupting her thoughts, "I know that look. You're thinking of Rob again. Let it go. Just enjoy tonight for what it is. There is nothing saying you have to have all the answers for all your questions right now. Give yourself time. It's a lot to take in and adjust to. Be patient. It'll work out. I promise."

"Yeah," she smiled at him, "I know. I stil sometimes miss him. That's all."

"That only makes you human, my dear," he took her hand supportively.

Steven smiled watching every one he saw Brian giving Jessica a swiming lesson and he also saw Khaat and Robert talking and walked over cofiguring his clothes to his own trunks, but sitting down next to Khaat betwen the twins. smiling at both as they slept in teh cooling eveanng air "you do know this pool was a great idea " he said looking at the water. with a wink and asmile he moved and dove in hardly making a ripple in teh water as he surfaced on the deep end. "the waters great too " he smiled now really smile as he swam over to jack and Andrew and around them pretending to be a shark as he grinned at how Andrew splashed him then on one large one he sank below the water bursting back up laughing at the fun.

"it just sort of came up while Jess and I were talking," Khaat said to Steven, "And Brian thought it would be a great way for me to work on regaining my strength. But then again, that strength building thing is really his strong suit, after all. Why wouldn't he think of that? Me, I was just thinking of having a good time."

"There's nothing wrong with putting some fun back in your life, Khaat," Robert said. "I'm all for it. I think its high time you did. I wish you'd give more thought to other ways you would like to have fun."

"Well, I guess I have sort of thought about that, but I can't do much of any of it until I get my magic back and my strength. I have some ideas, but, well, its too soon for any of that. "

"Care to share?" Robert laughed a little.

"Um..no, not yet. By the time I get to being able to do anything, I might have changed all those ideas. Who knows?"
