Eventually Merida refused to allow him to ask any more questions until Id gotten some sleep. She was safe and she was free. She was dressed for a muggle hospital and was clutching her head. Closer, closer. She barely looked at him before turning back to Regina. Because practice makes perfect. As they ran, Emma recognized one of the side streets. The main street is still pretty fun, just some other places werent. She shook her head and put on a false smile. Its a good place to keep the key once weve taken out some money., Okay. Emma grabbed it as they left this room. Ollivander was shaking his head, No, not right., Here; English oak, thirteen inches with the feather of a phoenix.. You cant just go around cursing people!, Regina folded her arms and proceeded to look extremely unamused by Emmas theatrics. Toddler antics with a magic twist. I see, Gold replied, now his voice was amused. I went up because I forgot one of my star charts in the classroom and I nearly walked into them! Um, why are you here? Emma still couldnt believe theyd come. Most were too powerful to use, more likely to knock her out for the entire exam week than to provide the normal amount of rest she should be getting. Its very simple, Excito Pro Tempus., Thats it? Emma said skeptically, she looked at the parchment which was written in a fancy script she could hardly read. Diffindo, Regina muttered and didnt even flinch when the charm open a shallow gash on her arm. My mom, Red Lucas, and your mom, Snow White, were best friends at Hogwarts. Emmas eyes went wide at that, This is so cool!. Emma did not feel reassured by this statement. Emma had called the spell up more quickly an effortlessly than Regina could have. Who are you? Emma asked, too confused to be more polite, even though the witch had gotten Leroy to leave. Regina always felt nervous that Mother liked to have muggles as servants for anything nonmagical. She could remember feeling like she was still trapped in some of her old foster homes. He cheated, Regina said flatly. What? Finally, she found one that seemed promising. She had been hurt because Ruby wouldnt tell her what about. Shed only picked up a single wizard guide book to London when the flutter of wings caused her to drop it on to the table. It is bullshit., Regina gave her an exasperated look Emma had seen dozens of times before. As usual, the librarian always looked nicer when she was returning books than when she was checking them out. Shed gone back and forth with her friends in private about whether or not to actually go with August, but ultimately decided she was too curious to resist. She sat down on the floor next to Emma and reached for her ankle. A loud groan caused her head to snap around, but it was only the one unconscious auror who was evidently waking up. She nodded, Leroy said there was some book in the library that should help, then theres some blanket in one of the bedrooms, and lastly a certain flower or something in the pond., Mary Margaret nodded thoughtfully, We should get the flower last., David continued where she left off, So which first: library or bedroom?. It was good not to have to endure the compartment ride home with her friends, which would have felt oppressive and stilted. McGonagall tried to find the words to explain how complicated it was, However, they were young and I doubt they ever truly believed anything would happen to them. She could still remember their proud and idealistic faces, their self-assuredness when they brought the Red Fist to trial. Regina was in the tack room since she knew her horses tack had been recently polished and stored in the general room when the boy shed seen last week walked in. Which they seem to find mysterious and interesting, rather than scary. Good evening! November first, was that the day her parents died? Golds? Not only because we were going to unwrap the gifts, but because I was curious what Regina would say when I asked her if she would go on a winter holiday with me and Henry, the three of us. She let me lead her into the crowd and we started dancing. Why she didnt just get me to come to her Ill never understand. Nice to meet you.. Very well. Um, do you want to try again?, Regina glared at her, Yes. Then she forced herself to take a deep breath, reminding herself she needed a happy memory. Yeah, sure, he agreed and they moved over to where shed dropped her star chart and telescope. I did the same and Regina - instead of the expected disapproving look - giggled. Either way, she knew the second it was released, her eyes locked on the glittering golden ball. She didnt have any time to be worried about Emmas reaction because by the time she herself had finished processing that she was really feeling Emmas lips against hers after wanting to for so long, she was also aware that Emma had immediately, with no hesitation at all, kissed her back. She ignored all of her foster brothers question and simply called, be back later!, Ms. Sapphire was waiting on the cement steps for the girl when she came out, Why dont we go down the street to the caf there?, She started walking without waiting for an answer and Emma moved to walk next to her, too bewildered about why the older witch was even here to protest beyond, What about the muggles there?, Ms. Sapphire laughed, Muggles never listen properly. Yes, yes I know! She also added Mal to list of customersshe wanted a tailored throat soother due to her overuse of a fire-breathing spell. Only real families had pets. Incendio! Flames leapt from her wand, fierce and hot as Reginas anger over how many times her mother had done this to her. Thank you, is all I could say to her kind words and I gave her a quick hug I couldnt resist. Hiding under a bridge, Emma was even more grateful for the inherited invisibility cloakGranny had given it to her at the end of the school year, saying it had belonged to her mother. It was a shining mare, sleek and strong. And I dont get anything for watching them except not in trouble., That sucks, Lily said and Emma gave her an appreciative smile. Emma, I dont- I started but then she lifted a bottle of water from beside her chair. I do know the shield charm., Emma shook her head, Theres knowing it and mastering it. We have it set to a simple circle right now, but you can change it once youve fully unlocked the trunk by repeating the pattern of the inside and then tracing the next pattern on the outside. She demonstrated what she meant, using her pointer finger on each hand to draw identical circles on the wood of the trunk. I wanted to take a step back, but I didn't. She nodded again and slowly filled the small glass to drink again. So what does that have to do with how youve been acting? It could just be that her mother had killed her dad, but Emma knew, even under her shock at this information, it was something else that was occupying Regina. This was already bad enough, what if I get expelled now?! And as I said, no need to stress about it. On their second day of classes however, the girls had gotten lost on the way to class. Well, I know the truth: your parents werent anything special. This girl isnt a customer, let alone a valued one like myself. She couldnt handle all of this, it was too much. All four of them stood up to follow August and he lead them a street or two over from the main High Street until they stopped outside Marcos Handyman & Woodworking Services. Bye, Regina said, still trying to recover from awkward thanks. She sniffed, but slowly leaned the broom against the table, I suppose you can assist me.. The teachers here seemed weird, but pretty alright. Of course. Nevermind, Mary Margaret took another sweeping look around, I dont know where your parents might have had theirs though, it varies. Then her face brightened, I know how to find it. Thanks David, Emma said, rolling her eyes. Shed need to drink too much of it to make half the difference of a normal menstrual potion. Regina ran her fingers through her hair in frustration, There are a couple ways to boost it by tweaking the ingredients and brew style, but I still dont think itd do enough.. For a couple extra galleons, well put on a standard lock with an anti-alohomora charms and spells to resist the physical remove of the lock. Push me away and Ill stop, she yelled back and in the blink of an eye, I was filled with anger. You were walking around with your father Henry in the gardens with your (son/daughter) held tightly in your arms. I didnt hear about a specific book.. Together, they looked over her star charts, trying to identify a few of the others like Draco, Cygnus, and Cassiopeia. Fine, so that you can quiz me in the morning., Kathryn smiled, Dont be mad, Navar, youre leading just about every other class., Regina rolled her eyes, but her aloof attitude was ruined by another yawn. She looked up to see Kathryn sliding onto the bench opposite her and Abby leaning against the door frame. Since the curse had left the people afflicted thinking they muggles and with no memories of their loved ones, theyd been primarily in muggle care centers as their conditions deteriorated. And his dad found him?, I think he found his dad, the woman corrected. Carefully, she began to place the coins inside, eyes widening as they continued to fill up the box well beyond how much it appeared to be able to contain. Grundrans eyes were fixated on the flask and he reached for it automatically. But you lied!. Mary Margaret and David pulled open a small door which revealed a small space she identified as house-elf rooms. I dont think its a bad idea, I approved. Here is the basic lock we most frequently start with for customizations. We could get some nice stuff next Hogsmeade visityou could treat me and Abby., Regina laughed, I see what this is about, you just want the benefits without having to actually put in the work., You caught me, Kathryn replied, feigning dismay. Um, sure, Emma said, still feeling out of her depth, but feeling a little better now that one of her friends was here. Once shed restored moisture to her mouth, she stood up with a groan and stretched. It was already the faded yellow of a few days old bruise, but it did not look good. No, no. Were all just moving to the rhythm, I said and took her hand. Had they discovered her potion side-business? Eight," we yelled, "Three! The feast passed in a blur as Regina hesitantly filled her plate. Emma looked around, even when shed gone over to a classmates house for a projects, theyd really only been in the living room. She pulled out her wand to tap the lock to the Hufflepuff brooms and went to grab the one shed claimed. Regina had vowed she would make the most of spending the majority of the year away from home. She wished she could change into her school robes or something, just so she could feel more magical, but she certainly couldnt leave the house like that. I knew youd see it my way, Whale replied triumphantly. Regina cleared her throat and tried to bring some moisture to her already dry mouth, My mother found out I was on the team. She swallowed again and her voice was pleading as she went on, Im really sorry, I dont know how. Would you be a potioneer if you could? It felt like her foster parents entire flat could fit in here. Do hurry or Ill find myself bored waiting.. Regina found, with the right twist it was easier to talk about school to him than shed thought. While she had been told by her captain she needed to make up the practice ASAP, doing it after curfew wasnt actually allowed. Do you know how to play Bavarian Exploding Snap? Neal asked. They had a silent jostling argument about who was to leave first, with it ending up being Mary Margaret with the spellbook, then Ruby, who had the wall to one side and had been able to clear out most of her doxies, and David right after her. Sure, of course, Emma said. Abruptly light and sounds came back, especially after the mine, daylight was too bright. Of course, McGonagall smiled and gestured the girl into the shop. So what do you need to do to become one?, Oh, its super complicated. This was just another thing she was supposed to because of her parents. A couple of students cried out at the sudden spell, but most just backed off, leaving a large amount of space around Emma and Hans. Wow, that seems like so many., I thought youd only been in this school since you were eleven. I wasnt joking. She smiled at them as the clothes settled themselves with a flick of her wand, Hello, Minerva. And then it never came. Give me a few moments to whip up a few sets in your size and by then the Professor should be back with your trunk. Wed be in the same year, right? McGonagall felt that question like a punch. She was being strangely forthcoming under the night sky. McGonagall asked if she would be alright, before heading to another shop to pick up a trunk. Suddenly the ground fell away and everything went blurry. Shed already been in the kitchens and added the required Veritaserum to her mothers coffee. Finally, Emma decided to come right out and say it. Rather controversial section, well hidden., Emma looked over the section with new interest, How do you know about it?, Mother hates muggles, Regina said quietly. Regina drew her wand and backed away, but before he could get any closer a nonverbal immobilization spell from Flitwick had him frozen where he stood. She was nearly crying from the effort and the sheer pointlessness she felt it was. Kathryn rolled her eyes, Well no, but itd be nice if the Hogwarts gossip circuit kept spreading the word. I don't own the characters. Unfortunately, Tina and Tiana werent part of the pureblood social circle her mother moved in. Luckily, only a few minutes later a voice asked, Sorry, but are you Emma?, Emma looked up and saw a woman in the Bugs aprons. Um, right, muggle thing. Still, she found it hard to look away from Emmas clear green eyes. Right, Quidditch, sorry. Even though shed bought the book and they were having lessons with the brooms, it still seemed very absurd to her. Granny looked pleased at her compliment and the way Emma took a second biscuit immediately after finishing the first. Its only three words, Mary Margaret said, mouthing them to herself. A number of them were labeled with names and dates. I must remind you that dueling is expressly prohibited within our shop. Sure., You dont actually have to use a memory., Reginas brow furrowed as she stared at the Hufflepuff. It surprised me, but for some reason I wont admit even to myself, I didnt let her go. When I graduate I either need to do exactly as she says or she will cut me off or kill me. Very well, if you must be in Ravenclaw, you will be at the top of your class. She was glad to see some familiar sights, but overall the thought of returning to a group home was really starting to bring her down. Emma handed over her moneygalleons, although the store accepted muggle money too. Besides the Department of Magical Law Enforcement with the Aurors Office, the Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes with the Office of Misinformation is involved now, so now half the time inter-department disputes are going on. Shed probably also need to start ordering ingredients in larger quantities. Geez, Navar. Im writing in circles instead of telling you straight out, a vice I fear has already harmed you. The distortion changed until it became a cloak. When Henry entered (he was downstairs the whole time; he mustve heard the oven timer beeping, but apparently, he was too busy with something else), I sighed and dramatically wiped my forehead with the back of my hand. Good morning, Regina, he replied. Dads at some conference all day and Mums at work so weve got the place to ourselves.. No sooner had she thought that when she heard a pecking sound at the window: a black owl holding a blue envelope. Shed never seen the put together fifth year look so surprised. I thought she was still asleep, but she put her hand on mine and I didn't know what to do. (And they don't yet know that it will change their lives. The cure came with a price, which is both Emma's and Regina's to pay. If shes k-killed Papi though There is no other way. Then the entire potion let out a loud hissing noise, like air leaving a balloon. Of course I am, Emma replied defensively. Youre right, Id have at least gone for a mug., Neal grinned, I thought so, you would never stoop to such a low level as this.. Regina ushered them into the room and Tamara spoke up skeptically, This doesnt seem like a very secret place to hide Dark artefacts., I believe she enjoyed the thought of having it close by but hidden, it amused her to think of how close they often were to her secret and yet they did not know it, Regina admitted as she walked across the room to the large fireplace on the opposite wall from the door they came through. Um, not really, I can check my schedule. She tended not to know professors first namesmade them seem to much like real people and harder to hate during exams. It was almost four and it would have been nice to just lay down finally. Regina - Summer before Year 6Emma - Summer before Year 5. Most of the students left her alone even as they watched her more than ever, their eyes tracking her as they whispered. Be careful with that, Regina snapped. Feeling that her friends would leave her if they knew who she really was. Could you please tell us more about that?, Emmma looked to Regina and the other aurors followed her lead. But the prophecy Emma said, bewildered. It was the most surprised shed ever seen a goblin, even if all he did was pull back in his chair a bit further. The Do Over Chapter 1, an once upon a time fanfic | FanFiction The Do Over By: LittleSwanLover What if you were given a complete do over in life? After shed taught him the best techniques and tricks, she hadnt even needed to tutor him this year. No, its not, she said and ripped her hand out of mine. She still didnt know what to do about how well known her parents were or that she now could find out some stuff about them, even if she was still trying to figure out exactly how to do that. Madame Gligan was even able to recommend a few herbalist guides Regina hadnt heard of for research, which Regina thanked her for. Starting with a potions schedule and an intense charms study session to catch up. Regina struggles to cope with the abuse she's endured but wants to let Emma in. What next? Emma asked and Lily turned the pages, their arms brushing as she did so. Another new student for me?. And finally, Hufflepuff prized hard work and loyalty., Of course, she waved, most people have a mix of all of those traits, but everyone still has to be divided up by whichever is most important to them. No way. Regina seemed way to proper to make out in the astronomy tower, which was notorious for couples to sneak up to due to its many closets and hidden nooks. Did she know that last name? Its over, Emma, I said and started moving forward when I found a way out of the crowd, dragging Emma with myself. I mean, she is tutoring youshes kinda supposed to tell you what to do..
