She landed awkwardly, trying to catch her fall with both arms and not break her wand. Soon enough it was time to set his coffin on fire. Emma followed Regina so silently through into the normal section of the library, passed Madame Pinces desk, even though it was empty. Then she looked back down at her book and shook her head to refocus. Geez, Im freezing! Emma wrapped her arms around herself. Young Regina, fed up with Rumplestiltskin's games, went in search of Maleficent. He peered at her with light eyes that hardly seemed to blinked and she had never felt more scrutinized. Some of you know how this goes, but everyone needs to tryout fresh, regardless of if they had a position on the team last year. Emma wanted to scream. Theyre not me and Im not them! I took a refreshing shower and after that, I put on jeans and a sweater and I walked downstairs. Hey, guess what? Regina put her book down heavily, Just because the steps are more than three sentences long doesnt mean theyre complicated or that Im making them that way.. She didnt feel any better by the time they pulled up to the house, at least it didnt look as bad as some of the other homes shed been in. Part of that hiding spell your parents did. Its alright, Emma replied, knowing that was the polite response and not having much energy to think of anything better. Emma did like Mary Margaret and she didnt have so many friends she was willing to let even one of them go. Besides, he didnt really look like he wanted any actual input from her. Finally, the team was called out by Madame Hooch. Emma rolled her eyes, Come on, its funny, you can admit it. Regina continued to look forward in stony silence and her blush refused to fade. Non-magical AU. Can you at least tell us what the potions for? Kathryn asked. Theyre not my parents! Thestrals are gentle creatures who appreciate calm, Regina explained as she beckoned Emma closer. She was unsurprised to see that he stayed while she put that on Mel too and followed her out to one of the riding rings, intending to practice for a few minutes just riding before moving onto the other ring. There are all sorts of stereotypes about the houses, but I wouldnt pay them much mind if I were you. Its not like anything bad will happen. Holy shit, Regina. I wasnt thinking. Instinctively, she reached for her potions textbookher best subject was potions after all. I must remind you that dueling is expressly prohibited within our shop. In the beginning of our ride home, she fell asleep on my shoulder. Rocinante and the other thestrals seemed to have been politely ignoring Emma. As if it wasnt obviousand I know Gold went over it in class anyways., Suddenly there was a knock on her doorframe and Kathryn stood in the doorway, which she had left open since no one was using the sitting room. Your parents were heroes! She clutched her book to her herself, knuckles white with the force she exuding on it, Whats happened to Papi?, Cora sat down as well and placed a hand over Reginas, which did nothing to ease her daughters tension. Yeah, Ruby said, but she didnt sound happy about it. Granny? Ruby said, turning around to find her grandmother standing close to where Nova had appeared. My father, Regina replied in an extremely dangerous tone. Finally, he reached the final page which listed her total amount earned. Uh, yeah, sure, she nodded and followed me. Emmas smiling and so is Ms. Sapphire, who claps her hands together. A tall man smiled down at Lily, before he looked around and saw Emma standing near her bed. Hopefully, this would work to hide them further from sight and to make their pursuers think theyd gone inside. Um, why dont we talk outside? Emma suggested. Its their job, right?, Regina sighed, Mother has at least a couple under her thumb and I dont know which ones. From his now pink hair, all the way down to his blue legs, he looked as though a paint set had exploded on him. Whats something that your school doesnt teach that youd like to learn? Daniel asked, smiling like he was proud of his question. Regina Emma said, trailing off. Go! Emma turned over and flopped down on her stomach, pulling her pillow over her head. That had done it for Emma. Scared and alone, Regina accepts comfort from Emma. His grandfather too, I think. Menu. Okay, Emma replied, looking down. Could she just remain Yin? No sooner had she thought that when she heard a pecking sound at the window: a black owl holding a blue envelope. Once it reached her, Emma made a gesture with her wand and the Patronus dissipated. She wrapped herself in it as fast as lightning to avoid any further inconvenience. Stop this at once.. Were only in London for the summer because of dads job., Emma had only been in around London, depending on her placement in different group and foster homes and to Hogwarts. He seemed to get the message and stopped asking questions. Here! Ruby pointed to a picture of two girls with their arms around each, standing just outside the very cottage they were in now. Madame Rosmerta was quick to show them to the private room that had been arranged for there in person meeting with the aurors theyd been owling for the past couple weeks. It was there I wrote my original note to you. Snow. When Archie poured her a glass of water, she drank from it gratefully. Or witch, he tacked on at the end, clearly expecting to win extra points with that part. Id come back from practice to change. Right. After visiting the bathroom to ease Emmas nausea, it took way too much time to get to the door we came in. Emma looked around, even when shed gone over to a classmates house for a projects, theyd really only been in the living room. She remembered how certain people used to treat her, how people still treated David sometimes, like they should be so grateful they were even allowed to be here. She was still grateful for the privacy of the wall as she opened the letter, which flew out of her hands, and her mothers voice rang out. And Papi has always told me that they are worth learning about, seeing as they make up the majority of the human population. After that, another Gryffindor in her own year, Marion, asked if she could make her a headache potionone that wasnt the standard as she was allergic to lavender. While we've done our best to make the core functionality of this site accessible without javascript, it will work better with it enabled. Rocinante licked her fingers clean and Emma finally seemed at ease with the thestral. You dont know what youre talking about, she warned. This is what youre using for a saddle? Daniel eyed the bareback pad she had slung over her arm. Wha? Emma said blearily, trying to focus on the sleep blurred face of Granny while not disturbing Splotch who she could feel was on her head. One-shots of cute and silly things that Little Regina gets into. One night, while she was staring up at the stars, the outline of a shape flew between her and their light. HAPPY NEW YEAR!, we yelled and watched as the first fireworks got shot up. Emma blinked, could Regina really not have a happy enough memory? Emma slowly felt her good spirits from hanging out with her friends on the train ride fall the further she got from the Hogwarts Express. Yeah, I think this is it.. Maybe for one night, if she said exam stress was getting to her. Were you kicked out by those who were supposed to be taking care of you this summer?, Well, technically they told me to leave Splotch outside or I couldnt come in. Counting on their seeker, a veteran of the team for the past two years, to overestimate their scoring potential was the center of Ravenclaws plan. I know how to ride, but not bareback. Reginas frowned deepened but before she could react hed shut the door in her face. #regina And. And I hoped you would come to me., Regina continued to stand stiff as a board, looking at him with a small amount of fear. When they reached the head table, the girlElizabeth, if Regina was correctcalled off her crows but did not send them away as Whale panted and kept his hands up in self-defense. I value my life too much to seriously consider dating someone like that, thank you very much. Shed expected Regina toto Emma didnt know what. A few weeks later, Emma came to the empty classroom theyd been using on Saturday afternoon to work out ideas and the plan originally, and now Regina had been using to work on her write-ups for the auror team while Emma studied to keep her company. From all that stuff a couple years ago, she waved vaguely and Regina nodded to show she knew what Emma was referring to. Regina woke up to a soft kiss. She tried to get Emma to sign up for a library card, but Emma promised she wouldnt check out any booksshe didnt want the librarian to find out she didnt have an address. So?. Soon enough all three witches and wizard were back with Emma in the entrance hall, ready to help out their friend. All they manage to do is cast are over done attraction charms and end up spending all day mesmerized by their own reflection., Sidney whipped around as soon as Emma started to talk and went nearly purple with rage as a number of the other Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws laughed. I sat her back on the end of the bed and went to get her and myself clean pajamas. Yes yes. Panic flashed in Lilys eyes, Hes just she faltered briefly. Regina fell very close to her broom and managed to follow it through the main hoop and, using her new-found closeness to the broom to steady herself, reached out her hand to close her fingers around the small gold ball. But no, why focus on potions when you can be hitting things with a bat? She suppressed that part of her she knew was jealous Emma could play on her house team and she couldnt, even if Emma was a beater and not a seeker. Your undoing, Mother.. Dont strain yourself. She realized shed cast the spell a bit strongly and so decided the quickest way to free the frozen Hufflepuff was to cast, Finite. She tapped Emma definitively on her arm. It took really long for Regina, though and I asked if she needed help, but she protested right away, so we waited for her by the deck chairs. Can you explain the difference between the models? Lily nodded. Even if she couldnt use it, she always had it on her. Miss Emma Swan, birth name Emma Avaline White, born October 23, inherited 11 years ago on November 1, McGonagall answered briskly. Yes, Mom. Oh. A new stable boy? Today well work on the Calming Draught.. Do you know his first name?. Ah, Miss Navar, perfect timing. This was all there was? What did you do?!. Do hydrate.. Bringing her wand up and then down, tracing an infinity sign in front of her she said, Impertabilius Totalus Bodium!. She was glad he couldnt move right now. Ha ha, Im so glad! Emma exclaimed and suddenly pulled me into a hug, unexpectedly spinning me in the air. And I guess that means you want to share your ideas with us.. Can I see yours?. Ill help you, I said and hooked our arms together. She sniffed, but slowly leaned the broom against the table, I suppose you can assist me.. She went home and ignored her foster brothers questions, locking herself in her room while she tried to go over everything theyre researched about breaking curses and blood magic. Everyone was dressed up like McGonagall and the others inside the bank in long robes, pointy hats, and a variety of other odd clothing combinations shed never seen. My apologies that were a little further than where we left, Ms. Sapphire said, not actually sounding particularly apologetic, as if she thought her Apparating them was service enough. Of her mother? His group scattered but it a still managed to hit the tail end of one of the chasers brooms and send her in a tailspin. Emma white is a stranger and I wouldnt be able to understand a thing about her., You said it yourself. Emma looked at the sparks and then at the wand in her hand with awe before a wide grin grew on her face. Silence filled the space between them, considering, but not awkward. Together, they looked over her star charts, trying to identify a few of the others like Draco, Cygnus, and Cassiopeia. Emma holds her breath until one of the figures groans, a noise she could only hear because of how silent the cavern had gotten. My nephew too, we wanted to send him along the way we dd you and August but he was too old and he was adopted so we couldnt use the blood trace. I would see it returned., Without taking his hand or his eyes from the flask, Grundran held out his other hand, Your business records?, Regina handed over her leather binder after muttering the spell to decode it, I have my written records of orders I received, who the customer was, the price I charged, and when I was paid. So, Emma said. There was a boy around her own age walking across the fields to one of the barns for non-magical horses. She knew she needed to get out of the park and into a less rural area. After they headed up another staircase, down a short hallway, and up a spiral staircase, Ruby pointed, There!. Yup, Emma replied, not hiding her pride. Neither had any effect as the creature focused its efforts on Ruby, who had backed up as far as she could go. Next time you come, bring the blanket. His grip on his wand must not have been very good because fell to the floor and landed on the ground. Theyre just words that dont seem like they could be real. I always remember how the happiness is fleeting and then my spell falls apart before it even gets started.. She looked at me and catched my gaze, but then she immediately turned back to her phone. Aside from the captain, three were returning team members, the keeper, a chaser, and a beater each, all of whom were expected to reclaim their positions. I apologize for that, I merely didnt want to risk any communication being intercepted.. Maybe it was the adrenaline rush from her new broom, or maybe it was the wonderful feeling of freedom that came with that statement or maybe theyd be building up to this for so long that she just could stand merely looking at Emma any longer. A year before the curse was put over the enchanted forest, a young bandit makes a daring rob on the queen Regina, however . She can manipulate or bully or blackmail. Regina carries dark secrets about her past that she's afraid to share with anyone. Whatever makes you most comfortable.. She stared at the tiny pile on the floor, her emotions finally making themselves known as her numbness melted away under the heat of her mothers anger. She looked completely taken aback. She has more important things to do. Id miss my family a lot. If anyones giving you any trouble, let me know and Id be glad to help you out., Emma raised an eyebrow skeptically, Really?. In the middle of the night, I went downstairs to steal some gingerbread. It didnt take long for her to understand what I was talking about. She made her way back to the front, only getting lost twice and snuck a peak at the fountain when she got near enough. You think? David said, walking around to join her on the other side of the bed. To come here instead of waiting out the week was very strange. The girl looked around for somewhere else to lose the teens, not looking scared, just focused, before she spotted Emma. Emma, next time I wont ask nicely.. Emma couldnt think of how to respond as she tried to absorb all that information. She had no memories of her biological family. Her body sank into the cushion and she tried to make herself comfortable. Yes, yes I know! I hope they only cared before the trial because yeah, it definitely hit the papers. August was clearly proud of his father, so she didnt want to say that she thought the spell had been overkill and that she hated it for meaning she grew up in foster care instead of with the Lucas or something else similar. Thump, thump, thump. That just seemed so fairytale to her stillit belonged in Halloween movies, not in school. Any last minute adjustments can be made then. She hoped the measures shed taken meant her estimate for how much of the potion she needed to take to get eight hours of dreamless sleep would work. Regina was doing none of those things; she stared directly at the Hat on its stool yet didnt hear a word it sang. That you do, he acknowledged before explaining further. How do I get one? Emma wondered if she had to go on some sort of quest or. Regina slid her wand back into her sleeve. Enjoy! It was so tempting to draw closer and wrap my arms around her that I rather just turned away and forced myself to sleep. Ms. Sapphire smiled indulgently, It is, but you only need to join in at the end, Ill be reciting the entire spell and Ill be using some fairy dust to power the spell. Ms. Sapphire pointed to the small mound of dust in the center of the diagram and tapped the small pouch that hung from her waist. The White heir has returned. There was obvious fallout around school. It was a question she knew Emma, who had been in numbers of foster homes, had asked herself too, even if shed never come out and say it until now. Just give me ten minutes! I yelled back. He needs to want to marry you, you need to make him want to. I think I get it. Shed followed along pretty well, even if now she was rather distracted by the moving pictures of dragons on his cards, some of which were breathing fire. She hadnt worked this hard just to have some living blanket end it all. Maybe, who are you?, Don you know? he asked. I knew it! the girl said and high fived her brother before they ran off. Muggles mostly, Regina said, she gestured at the circles at the end of the majority of the boxes before pointing at one marked with a triangle. She hated having to meet Mother so unexpectedly, it gave her no time to prepare, no time to seal herself away. Regina nodded somewhat uncertainly. Reginas eyes sought Kileys as she flew in a sideways arch and met her captains. Emma just moaned and swallowed something and I realized there was a shot glass in her hand. I didnt misplace him. Ruby had brought a basic healing potion which she gave to him and soon enough the bruises on his neck faded. Its Emma Swan, but, uh, yeah. After a few meters though, she could see that there were a series of pedestals with figures on them. Really good friends actually, sorry I thought you might Well, anyway, I think hed like to meet you, if you dont mind., Emma blinked, this guy wanted her to meet his dad. Finally, on two towers next to each other, Regina and the first year girl had to go up and down the height of the tower. Cases, trunks, even storage carts on wheels, were tastefully arranged throughout the store. It came back to her, lethifold successfully corralled into the master bathroom. I was on a waiting list and its shipped all the way from Puerto Rico., They both spent another couple of minutes taking it in before Emma got impatient. When she spoke, I looked up and I only realized now how close we were. I would never have used the spell if I thought it put you in danger. She made no bones about how she viewed the schoolnecessary and a stepping stone to greater thingsbut nothing more. This was just another thing she was supposed to because of her parents. Used to tutor me in potions?, Emma raised an eyebrow, You mean the girl currently tutoring me, yeahIm familiar., Ruby laughed, Right, right. What. Every time Emma thought she understood what the brunette was going for, Regina sighed, before explaining as if it should be obvious, The Wolfsbane potion is one of the hardest potions to brew and I wanted to see if I could do.. As I understand it, you are considered a minor, Miss Navar, among wizarding kind., Regina dodged the question, I wish to have separate funds, ones my mother cannot influence.. Normally I ride Balthazar or Helah, but since theyre younger and more spirited, theyre not as suited for my practice.. Team? Emma asked, she was still trying to keep up with all the new information she was constantly hearing on a daily basis. Shed been worried when they received the forms and it had said parent or guardian permission seeing as for the school year she didnt have either. Emma tried to tell them all to leave her alone before she resorted to running away for the Hufflepuff dorms in the confusion. It didnt feel right. Her mind was too clouded by memories, Because last year I had to deal with one of those curses and I didn't know what to do until the very end. Of course, McGonagall smiled and gestured the girl into the shop. Dilly?. Emma took Ms. Sapphires arm, feeling as though shed missed something. Regina flinched and whipped around quickly, causing Emma to immediately back off and let go, not that it stopped her from continuing on to her point, The real question is why do you care? After a month of mourning another lost love, Regina realizes she's pregnant with his child. Regina soon realized it was a large dog with thick fur. Regina struggles to accept that anyone could ever love her. You have to learn to float.. If the half moon is on the weekend, a bunch of us have races. Regina didnt trust Emma to grab the right plant and besides it was too late. Regina tried to ignore the feeling of disappointment she got as she watched Daniel jog away. Instantly, the figure glowed green and the table went intangible and invisible except for a faint outline, waiting for the next student who needed it to conjure it into being. They leaned back as the sun sunk lower in the sky, talking about their classes and friends, everything they left out of their letters or hadnt gotten to on the train before the others had shown up. Aurors? Her grin sharpened as she went in for a tighter circle than before, keeping very low to her broom so that she was basically laying own on it. Of words being said, words like, "I believe in her". He was looking intently in the northern corner before banking and switching to a drifting pattern, looking to survey the whole field. Now her job wasnt to make sure she caught it, but to make sure the snitch was caught as soon as possible before they lost their lead. You are my heart and my world, mija. Pongo barked a quiet greeting before heading over to Regina. Mary Margaret and she tried to absorb all that information watched as the first fireworks shot!
