Escape to Brian Quinn's

steven nodded "understood Brian" he said and charmed the door once he had left so nobody could enter he moved to Jessica who now sat cradling catlin as she had sensed the fear and woke , jessica reasured him she was fine and continuted to nurse her . He moved to Khaat and Abby "you two ok" he asked softy so not to disterb Abby as she slept "it could be nothing or something we can't take that chance as you kow Rob ahd many enamies all would be happy to see you and him dead." he said " but were going to make sure it dosn't happen, Cara's out side with Robert " he said smiling .

"I really do need my magic back," Khaat sighed. "Without it, this planet seems to get smaller and smaller and there are fewer places for me to hide my daughter. These are the moments when I really want to throttle Rob for not being honest with me in the first place about who he really was. You do realize that I might have to run like this for the rest of my life, and that might mean that Abbey might have the same dismal future. You do realize that, right? And I can't have you all bodyguarding me forever. At some point I will have to face whatever is in store for us by myself. But as far as I'm concerned, they can do whatever they want to me so long as they leave Abbey alone."

steven looke at her "No Khaat you won't were all prepered to stick this out for as long as necssicary, Brian most of all will not let that happenas for your magic ne'os can't hang onto it for long you'll get it back don't worry , let us do that " he said looking at her he was determined she and Abby would have a good and happy life and not one constaly on the run. "you and that little girl deserve a happy life and by god I will see you get it , we all will Khaat " he now stood looking deadly seruouse at her.

"Thanks, Steven," she said. "I guess I'm just feeling really helpless in a lot of ways. I know you're right. The last thing I want for Abbey is a life where we have to run and hide continuously. I wanted her to be the happiest child in the world, and I still want that for her. Right now, I just don't know how to give that to her." She paused for a second and then said, "But that doesn't mean I wouldn't be willing to die trying." She knew Steven would understand that. He'd been a Gryffindor. So had most of her friends. They understood well the makeup of a Gryffindor that was so courageous that they were never afraid to sacrifice themselves for someone they loved, and didn't hesitate to do so. It was just in the blood of a Gryffindor. It was the hallmark of a true Gryffindor when one would "throw themselves under the bus" instead of letting any harm come to someone they loved. And she hated seeing Jess and her kids being caught in this. Much as she loved Jess's company, she and their kids did not deserve to have to see this kind of danger. Jess still had a lot of emotional healing to do, and she wished this had not happened on a day Jess was visiting.

steven nodded he understood and moved from the dor to the window.

Jessica moved with the twins to sit beside Khaat "its ok we all know what its like even me I was a teacher but I was involved in a battle in hogwatrs thought many died I servived eve with just having andrew , I will fight Khaat for what i see as my family and that incudes you and abby he is like an unofficial neice to me " she said smiling as Catlin reatched out for Abby "you see even Catlin want you to know everything will be ok" she said and smiled drawing her own wand "my hormones mght be a litle out of sorts but not my magic"

"Thanks, Jess," she said. "You are getting your strength back. Its nice to see. It's nice to see you becoming a strong woman again. It gives me hope that perhaps Abbey and I can weather out what Rob is indirectly throwing at us. I realize he didn't do it on purpose, but it certainly does affect our lives on a daily basis.

"I did actually think about going in and trying to close up Rob's industry from the inside out. Pay off Rob's creditors, and close it up. But that means I'd have to temporarily float over to the other side of the law to do it. I would not even consider that unless Matt knew first that I was going to do it, basically, under cover. I refuse to end up in Azkaban for simply not telling him. But so far, I haven't decided to either do that or not to. I haven't seen Matt to ask him his thoughts, so I've just put that idea on hold."

Sophia was laying in her bed angry and frustrated for she wasn't out helping the others just because her magic was gone from her. "If I had my magic, I would so be out of here already I hate sitting and waiting and not knowing what's going on."said Sophia angrily as her eyes turned red and a fire started going on around them. Emmanuelle's eyes widen as a fire started around them. "Oh dear, accidental magic!" Emmanuelle thought to herself as she gotten out her wand and pointed it to the door as it unlocked itself and swung open. "Sophia come on!"said Sophia grabbing her daughter as she pointed her wand to the flames putting them out with her wand. "Mom you hear that?"Sophia asked her mother as she heard voices inside her head speaking to her.

"No Sophia I don't hear anything!"said Emmanuelle as she apperated them into Khaat's room. "Hey Khaat, sorry to bug you but some how my room started being on fire!"said Sophia. Emmanuelle looked at Khaat and mouthed 'Accidental Magic' to her. Emmanuelle was happy and surprise that Sophia's magic was coming back to her, it must have meant Sophia was a very powerful witch indeed.

"I thought I smelled smoke. Are you two alright?" Khaat asked. "I have plenty of room on my bed, Soph. You could come sit on the other half of the bed next to me, and that way you could meet Abbey. You can hold her if you like. She's awake right now. So your magic is coming back, too, huh? I thought I was starting to pick up on magical energy signatures again, so I knew mine is trying to return too. I guess that means that Ne'Os's spell was not as powerful as he thought it was. If your magic is truly returning, you'll find yourself getting stronger again too. You'll start feeling better very soon now.

"I don't know if you've met my friends, but this is Steven Walker. He's an auror and a friend of mine. He lives next door to my parents. And this is Jessical Black Heart. She's the wife of Jack Black Heart. He's the great big guy with the shaved head. He's an auror and a bodyguard too right now. Jess and Jack are good friends too. I know you met Andrew, but the twin babies are hers--Caitlyn and Nicolas. She had them the night your dad was made the Minister. So they're a little older than Abbey."

Abbey started to cry angrily. Khaat instinctively checked quickly to see if she was wet. Nope. "Emmy, could you conjure a bottle for Abbey, please? It seems she's hungry. Soph? Would you like to feed her? You can if you want. Would be good experience for that career of yours as a healer."

Sophia and Emmanuelle nodded. "Yeah were ok, although I tried to repair the room as much as I could."said Emmanuelle taking her seat beside Khaat side. Sophia walked over towards the other side of Khaat bed and laid down. When she asked if her magic was coming back she shrugged. "I don't know Khaat I really hope so, but then again if they wasn't how could I hear these voices inside my head?"Sophia asked her. "I already feeling stronger, but I think it's more my vampire side of me then my witch side."said Sophia softly. "I just be glad when it comes back, I feel so helpless and useless without it!"said Sophia sighing.

"Hello Steven and Jessica, I'm Sophia as you probably already know."said Sophia smiling shyly at them and then llloked at the twins. "Aw... there so adorable!"said Sophia looking from them to Abbey who was crying. As her mother waved her wand at Abbey's bottle Sophia caught it in her left hand and smiled. "I maybe muggle, but I can still do muggle things better then I can by magic at times!"said Sophia laughing. Sophia nodded when Khaat asked if she wanted to feed her. "If I can, I would love to!"saidSophia softly as she held the bottle in her left hand. "I want to be a healer so bad, but I doubt I would be one now seeing how I'm so behind at school!"said Sophia sighing.

"Voices?" Khaat asked. "So you're a leglimens, then? What were the voices saying? Maybe we can figure out who you were hearing. And I do know what you mean. My nonmagical side is a lot stronger right now than my magical side. It really is very frustrating. I guess I didn't realize how dependent on my magic I had become until I had Abbey. Now I feel completely helpless to take care of her or protect her without my magic. Silly, isn't it? Muggles have children that they raise without any magic at all and they do just fine.

"I'd be grateful if you would feed Abbey for me," Khaat told Sophia. "With one hand in a cast, it isn't as easy to take care of Abbey as i'd like. Daddy says the cast should be able to come off tomorrow. He accellerated the healing in the little broken bones in my hand so that it heals in just a couple days." She helped move Abbey over to Sophia's lap.

"I wouldn't worry about being temporarily behind in school. My real education as a healer didn't begin until I finished in Hogwarts. And it seems to me that Daddy had similar experiences with his healing abilities. As for his potions abilities, well, he was pretty much the geeky kid who was glued to his textbooks. He did learn a lot of his potions skills in Hogwarts, but certainly not all of it. And, as Daddy tells me, he'd be more than happy to take you underwing as a new healer. It seems to me we have a coiuple openings for healers at St. Mungos. If healing is what you really want to do, you need to get your application for St. Mungos onto my desk so that Daddy and I can consider putting you on there when you graduate. We might even be able to take you on before you graduate, once your powers come back, so long as its alright with your parents. I'm sure you'd find you could learn a lot from being at St. Mungos. But that choice is yours."
