Kiley had them form three different groups of three each, herself included in one of the them, and then set the three prospective beaters to each guard a group. Regina bristled, this couldnt be going anywhere good, What does that have to do with anything?, I was just thinking about how if I cant do what I need to do with an invisibility potion, perhaps Id practice some other spellwork. His smirk deepened and he crossed his arms, Ive been meaning to work on my aim with Confringo. Hi, nice to meet you, Emma hastily stuck out a hand; that was what you were supposed to do, right? Wonderful job, Emma! Emma couldnt believe what she was hearing. You know what they call her, Regina said plainly as she arranged the stone pieces on the door in the correct formation.

Henry asked as he leaned forward on his elbows, a little concern in his eyes. And thats how we spent the following hours: the three of us fooling around in the pool while I got more and more confident practicing my new skill. Never saw much point in thinking about it, really. No point in presuming she could control her own future like that, it was nice enough that she was in Ravenclaw where she had some freedom. And she needed to tell someone. Emma felt like she was being pressed tighter and tighter, the world around them disappearing. Now that I know that, lets see if we can translate any of those skills over to Exploding Snap, speaking of, shouldnt you have faster reflexes?, Emma narrowed her eyes in mock offense, Give me a bat and Ill show you how fast my reflexes are., Neal held up his hands in mock surrender, Understood.

The goblin still had her key and after carefully drawing his finger over the door in a complex pattern, a keyhole appeared at his eye level. The conversation moved on to other topics, but part of it stayed with Regina. She missed her friends, she missed the professors, she missed Hogwarts itselfand she hated having to be around her mother all summer long. Whatever. Emma didnt think shed ever heard the other girl say anything so casual. How do your parents feel about you being gone so much of the year? You look like youre gonna pass out on us, Grannys voice was kind despite her words.

Trigger warnings apply, see tags and chapter notes. Since I live with mugglesIt sucks having to hide everything., Yeah, Lily agreed. Thats g- I smiled, but Regina cut me off. She relaxed slightly. She tried her best not to define he other thought shed been having, that if they had protected themselves with the curse, she could be waking them up. She used to do some work for the Department of Mysteries I think, just kind of shady all around. Your bad mood, Emma said and Regina did look up at that. Chudley Cannons they finished simultaneously. Emma! I yelled again. Emma just moaned and swallowed something and I realized there was a shot glass in her hand. It wasn't rushed or obnoxiously passionate. Clearly he felt it too as their seventh-year potions class was a small group. My brain was clouded by alcohol and we really needed to stop. Regina had been drawing continually closer and knew shed need to actually reach out and catch it soon if she had any hope of winning. It took over a month to prep the potion seeing as Regina wanted to make enough of it so that there would be some leftover for her to use when the time came. Finally, Emma reached the bank shed come through with McGonagall. Are you right handed or left handed, Miss Swan? McGonagall clarified. Ive been looking into becoming an Animagus. Mother had such influence throughout he Ministry, she didnt feel comfortable going to anyone with what she knew. Her face was rather red as she ran off.

I hope that you have reached the age of majority, before I died, but I fear I might not even last four more months. Whats next? Emma asked, clutching the box that held her wand tightly to her chest. The litter box? There was a group of them that would talk in class and study together, but Regina wasnt sure if the others merely didnt mind that she was there and valued her potions knowledge. She almost had Emma, she could sense it. She hated that people would just come up to her and start talking to her now. It was hard to watch. While Regina waited for the lock to be designed and set up, she went to numerous apothecary shops, checking prices, evaluating ingredients quality, and inquiring about shipping availability. So, you do have one? He hasnt been feeling well lately, but he had been insisting on continuing to care for the horses. Hed promised another dwarf would meet them at the mine entrance. Regina stood there just holding it for a few more seconds before she began to mount it. Then it passed across her field of vision and Regina suddenly became aware it was circling towards her.

As she rose, she looked over the large brown envelope shed picked up from the stone floor. Mine was draped over some chair over there.. How long have you been able to see them? Emma asked carefully, but without judgementmerely simple curiosity. Dont know why I bothered.. Ive never been a big fan of the water, anyway., Its not deep. Morning came and as I tried to wake up completely, I started noticing some unusual things. Teach me a lesson about consorting with muggles. How can you not get what you did?, Mary Margaret continued to stare at her in complete confusion. She sat down next to Emma and began flipping through the pages, which primarily featured a slim, dark haired girl who bore a striking similarity to Ruby. Instantly, Regina looked up from her book and refocused on the potion. Daniel jumping in front of her mother, Regina trying to pull him away. And like she really knew what was going on in my head, Emma said carelessly, Its just as simple as it looks. I felt she wanted to let go of my hand, but I unconsciously squeezed hers.

You need to make this complicated potion and meditate a lot. Im just not satisfied, she said as she looked around. Are you a half-blood?, Well, uh actually, Emma squirmed from the attention. Now, why dont you take a seat, sweetheart? Isha flew after her, Come on Navar, cant you change her mind? Regina hated to turn her back on her new friend, but she couldnt keep looking at her, at them, at her team. I guess, as she hurried after the other girl. She knew it was weak, but Regina wasnt sure she could kill her mother even it was possible. So How are you going to teach me how to swim? I asked to get to the point and forget about the embarrassment as soon as possible. He started walking toward us and I instinctively took the robe off to throw it at Emma. Regina hung back after her potions class two days later, approaching Golds desk. Aurors? Neal.. I am grateful we can still exchange letters. Therefore, since August said hed find them, but he didnt say when or where, she was constantly on alert for when he might show up. Ive talked to Archie and he prescribed a calming draught for her. Thats where Im going. The professor seemed to her be telling her that her parents were neither, in factthey were wealthy and well-respected. They do better when they know people cant see them., Emma actually cracked a small smile, I can relate to that., Regina raised a brow at that, remembering Emmas extremely high-quality invisibility cloak. Sometimes, she allowed. There is a dwarven mine near your family estate and your mother grew up knowing them. Her shield had evidently been too high, aiming to protect their heads, not her feet, and so her ankle had been burned.

She represented a lot of their worst fearsnothing drives home anyone can die than your classmates own father passing away.

She needed to refresh herself with what potions were covered during fourth year. In a way she had, but Emma just stared at her in horror and blurted out, MM! Hurt and embarrassment and sadness clashed within her at her new friend betraying her. Emma tried to put the whole thing out of her mind. Why would she need a prophecy to feel special when she had friends like these? Any idea what house youll be in, dear?, Of course, if youre with Min-Professor McGonagall, you must be a Muggleborn. Under the gaze of her curious classmates, she got up and followed Gold into the hallway. I said, stop! Sapphire shouted, pulling out her wand and heading towards them. And then, without either remembering moving, they were locked in a tight embrace. You think I cant tell?. Regina recovered first and abruptly levered herself so that she was suddenly straddling Emmas lap. She had her wand out next to her and was thinking hard about where to go. I do not know if it is defiance or incompetence, but I am disappointed in you, Regina. Regina nodded to madame Pince when the older witch passed. Reginas restrained relief brought Emma down from her excitement. Regina scoffed, Dont be silly, I mean with me.. Thanks David, Emma said, rolling her eyes.
