FG2 – The Trio Hit Hogwarts

Disclaimer: Jo Rowling is a professional author who owns Harry Potter, I am just having some fun with her creations.

Chapter 10

Glum was the only word able to describe the mood of the three Potters at dinner that night which, for some reason Sirius found immensely entertaining and repeatedly kept disintegrating into bouts of laughter.

Hermione slammed down her cutlery, "Sirius for the last time, this is not funny! We wanted our friends to accept our relationship, not form a bloody queue to join it!"

Emma tried to understand the problem, "But Hermione can't you just tell them no?"

"Mum, how do I tell our friends that I'm willing to share with Luna but not them? They don't know anything about bonds, all they see is Luna's eyes glazing over whenever she even thinks about Harry kissing her and they all want some of the same."

At the mention of kissing her husband, Luna's expression told everyone she was in her happy place, Harry's face was red enough to stop traffic while Sirius ended up with tears running down his cheeks and his head under the table as he laughed uncontrollably, uncontrollably that is until Maia's comment brought him instantly back to the present predicament.

"Oh if Harry's that good a kisser I wonder if he could give some pointers to Sirius, then again they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks!"

The thump of Sirius's head hitting the underside of the table was loud and the force more than enough to rattle the crockery but at least it got the trio smiling, which was Maia's intent in the first place.

Harry was shaking his head in disbelief, "I never thought I would be looking forward to our time at Hogwarts to get some normality into our lives."

"Never mind normality, we've got Jillian's party on Friday night and no way to get out of it!" bemoaned Hermione.

"Unless we were really bad and got grounded?" Luna offered.

Emma was quick to dispel that option, "if you were really bad we wouldn't ground you but take you there ourselves."

Harry actually brightened at this, "That's not a bad idea, you could sit with me all night, bring Danni and she would keep me safe."

Sirius was still rubbing his head, "I can't believe you're getting upset over girls chasing you, just enjoy it!" the sudden change in atmosphere told the marauder he'd said the wrong thing, Harry's murderous expression only confirmed this.

"I already have two wonderful girls who are both my wives, I neither want nor need other girls hanging over me and I will never date anyone else. If you'll excuse us we're going through to the library to talk with my grandparents, maybe they can offer some useful advice."

They left for the library but all three had let Sirius know he was in the doghouse, "Shit! Every time I think that I'm finally getting the hang of this parenting gig it all seems to blow up in my face. How do you both cope?"

Emma gave a sympathetic smile to the struggling marauder, "Dan used to say pretty much the same thing though he was always trying too hard, we have great kids but they face problems that are out-with ours, or anyone else's experience. We just have to provide unconditional love and support, guiding them as best we can."

"We can only do our best and hold our hands up when we make a mistake, by the way Sirius you made one tonight. You basically intimated to Harry that it was all right to fool around with other girls, upsetting the three of them. I would give them time to cool down before trying to apologise, it will probably be safer." Maia offered.

"I was only trying to lighten the mood, I love those two girls as much as I do Harry and would hate to see any off them hurt."

"Try and do it before they head to bed, you don't want to leave this to fester or it could get much worse."

Sirius nodded in agreement with Emma and headed off to find his godson and his wives, better to clear the air tonight.

-oOoOo-

Amelia and Augusta were standing with a healer in a secure ward in St Mungo's, discussing the patient lying unconscious on the bed, "Getting hit with multiple stunners at his great age is very bad, and there is also damage to his magical core, whether from the spells or something else I can't say. At this moment in time all I can be certain of is he won't be leaving that bed anytime soon."

Augusta desperately wanted to get some Veritaserum into the old goat but she would bide her time, she really couldn't criticise the aurors for stunning the most wanted wizard in Britain and could only hope Dumbledore recovered enough to stand trial.

They thanked the healer before leaving, "Have you heard from Susan?" Augusta asked.

"Yes, apparently she had a wonderful weekend and wants to continue her lessons there, they have also been invited to Florida to celebrate Lady Hermione's birthday, I said yes to both."

Augusta was nodding in agreement, "I got an owl from Neville that would appear to be much the same, he said it was great to be taught by experts. Even though we've put better personnel into Hogwarts it was my intention to allow these lessons to continue, if nothing else it lets Neville see a side of life I'm ill equipped and frankly too set in my ways to show him." Amelia stared at her friend, "Oh don't give me that look, we both know it's true, I just have the courage to say it."

Amelia was now smiling, "Susan did mention that they had really enjoyed learning all sorts of muggle stuff but that the Potters very much had a foot in both camps, I really don't know enough about the muggle world to comment on that but our charges are learning experiences we can't give them and making friends at the same time, I intend to encourage her as much as possible. If we could open more people's eyes to what's out there we may finally put an end to this pureblood supremacy nonsense."

This was one subject that the women were in complete agreement, both were purebloods and proud of their heritage but that didn't define them, both knew it was your actions in life that defined you as a person, not an accident of birth.

-oOoOo-

Susan was practically floating along the corridor towards class, Cedric had again approached her today, asking if she'd made any progress. When she answered that she had an idea last night that would hopefully help, the handsome Quidditch captain hugged the young girl in the middle of the corridor before heading off to his own class.

Susan was beginning to think she could get used to this, totally oblivious to the jealous stares emanating from quite a few disgruntled females, Katie Bell whispering 'Way to go girl!' in her ear as she passed brought home the realisation that, between yesterday's kiss and today's hug, most of the school had seen her with Cedric.

She thought for a few seconds and then decided there was nothing to be embarrassed about, if Cedric wanted to kiss and hug her then one thing was for certain, Miss Susan Bones wouldn't be raising any objections.

Draco was sitting at the back of the class wondering who he could possibly talk to, he'd awoke this morning fully clothed, with blood on his hands and feathers stuck to his robe and no idea how they got there. Had his godfather still been around then Draco wouldn't have hesitated but there was no one on the staff he now trusted, certainly not his new head of house, his other option of asking Crabbe, Goyle or Pansy wasn't even worth considering. You could die of old age by the time you tried to explain anything complicated to Greg or Vince and Pansy's talent's were not between her ears, in fact he was not actually sure the girl had any.

His troubles had started ever since he broke into his late father's study, his mother had sealed the room after his death at the Lovegood printing press over three years ago. Malfoy Manor was beginning to recognise him as its rightful owner and therefore allowed him access to the holiest of holies. Telling a child he's forbidden from going somewhere will just make them all the more determined to get in there, Draco had been barred from that room his entire life.

The thrill of gaining entry was tempered by the worry of getting caught by his mother as well as the dawning realisation that this room may have been locked for a reason, some of the items here chilled his blood. He searched through the desk and his hand brushed a release mechanism that also recognised him as the Malfoy heir, a secret compartment popped open in the seemingly solid desk top. Sliding out the tiny drawer he discovered a small book which quickly found its way into his pocket, promising to read it later, Draco decided to quit while he was ahead and get out of there now.

He couldn't contain his disappointment when he discovered the book was blank and threw it in his trunk, only when he decided to keep tabs on Potter did he remember it and began writing in its pages. At first Draco thought it was his father communicating with him, this person wrote exactly like he remembered his father spoke, and the lonely boy had spent hours gaining comfort from writing in the book's blank pages.

Discovering it was not his father was compensated for by realising that here was a mentor that Draco now badly needed, the former Slytherin Head Boy named Tom could offer advice and council to the fatherless, and now godfatherless boy.

This was the first time Draco had been unable to remember anything, his main worry being his hampered ability to lie himself out of a situation when he had no idea what had happened. Tom had described some detection charms he could cast on himself and all had registered normal, the blood would appear to have belonged to the same creature as the feathers. He would have to write more to Tom tonight, the idea of an owl to his mother never entered his head.

Tom Riddle was so pleased, here was a victim who was depending more and more on him, this should be even easier than he first thought.

-oOoOo-

Hedwig flamed the trio into the great hall Thursday morning and they were immediately greeted by Ginny and Susan, "How did they all take you both being with Harry?" Ginny was desperate to know.

Hermione's body language told them the question had hit a nerve but they were about to find out not for the reason they thought, "Oh they took it very well, so well in fact that we've got a queue of applicants wanting to join us!"

"What? And you didn't tell us about it, where's the sign-up sheet?" Ginny demanded.

Susan shook her head, "Sorry Harry, you are cute but I've got my eye on someone else, I may keep you in mind as back-up though."

It was only when both girls started giggling that Harry was sure they were joking, Hermione decided on some pay-back, "How is Cedric?"

"Oh Susan and Cedric are the talk of the castle, kissing in the great hall and cuddling in the corridors, who knows what they get up to in private!"

Susan was bright red but tenaciously carried on with her idea, "He's desperate for the three of you and Nym to play for Hufflepuff, would you reconsider?"

It was Luna who answered, "I'm sorry Susan we just don't have the time."

She then unveiled part one of her idea, "Could you give the Hufflepuff team a warm-up game like you gave the Gryffindors, they really need it as they're now playing to a massive crowd on Halloween, all the parents have been invited to watch."

The three Potters had a quick discussion over their bond before coming to the decision it was the least they could do. "That would be fine if we can arrange it for this Saturday, Remus and Sirius had a blast so would definitely be up for a repeat performance." Luna turned to Ginny, "Can you play seeker for us?"

The girl actually blushed, "I would have to ask my captain, I'm now the Gryffindor starting seeker."

They three congratulated their friend, "That's great Ginny but just remind Oliver you were our seeker before being his, tell him we have you under contract or something. Ok Susan I'm assuming you want to break this news to Cedric yourself?"

Hermione's comment had Susan turning a colour that any radish would have been proud of, "What do you think Luna, get Susan into a rah-rah skirt and kitted out with some pom-poms, as head cheerleader Cedric would be bound to notice her then!"

It was actually Harry who intervened to save the embarrassed girl, "From what we're hearing Susan is doing just fine on her own, pay no notice to these two Susan, they have been getting teased pretty hard all week."

Hermione was sharply performing her wifely duties, namely correcting her husband, "Teasing doesn't bother us dear, it's the number of girls who want Luna and me to share our husband with them that pisses us off!"

The three Potters and Ginny headed for the greenhouses while Cedric immediately approached Susan, "Well?"

"The Hufflepuff team have a game this Saturday morning at Potter Manor, this will give you a chance to see the Potters and Nym for yourself."

"Will they play for us though?" he anxiously asked.

"At the moment no but I have an idea for that and this is just the first part, I can't promise Cedric but I will do my best."

Cedric looked at the utter devotion on this lovely young girls face and couldn't help but be moved by this quintessential Hufflepuff, the vulnerability expressed there as well brought out the gentleman in him as he drew her in and kissed her forehead, "Susan I never doubted for one minute that you would do anything but your best, I really appreciate everything you're doing for the Quidditch team."

Her muffled, "I'm not doing it for the team!" wasn't meant to be spoken out loud but was still heard by Cedric who then kissed her cheek and whispered 'Thank-you" in her ear.

Hannah had to collect her friend when Cedric left, she was still standing there watching the spot where he had disappeared out the door, "I would have thought you would have built up some sort of tolerance by this time, Cedric has probably kissed you more than any other girl in the school and that Ravenclaw Chang looks ready to scratch your eyes out."

"I think I might just have made a fool of myself Hannah."

"Well there is a long list of girls wishing for a chance to be as foolish as you."

-oOoOo-

It was a bunch of nervous first years who made there way back into the now repaired greenhouse, memories of the last time they were here still very fresh in their young minds. Professor Sprout exuded confidence but when one young girl started crying Harry thought it was time to lend a hand, or a phoenix to be precise.

Hedwig's appearance and singing not only relaxed the rest of the class but reassured them as well, especially when she perched on Harry's shoulder and made it plain she was here for the rest of the lesson. With the white phoenix and Hogwarts new Deputy watching over them the students could forget their worries and concentrate on the lesson being taught.

Nearing the end of the period Professor Sprout was walking amongst the groups when she stopped at the Potter / Weasley bench. "Lord Potter I would like to thank you and Hedwig here for your assistance last week and again today. It was always going to be difficult for this class to come back in here but this beautiful phoenix helped immensely."

"You're very welcome Professor, Susan Bones is arranging with Cedric Diggory for the Hufflepuff team to play a practice match against us this Saturday morning at the manor, would you like to come along? We would really like you to meet our family and I'm sure that Maia would have something in her greenhouses that you would like a cutting from."

That was an invitation Pomona couldn't resist, "I would be delighted and thank you for helping our Quidditch team, even Cedric would be the first to admit they need all the help they can get."

Minerva McGonagall was so looking forward to this class, her friend Filius hadn't stopped raving about the Potters use of magic in his lesson last week and this was her opportunity to observe first hand. Apparently they had managed to teach the basics of their technique to Ginny Weasley in a period and, with the girl now starting seeker for Gryffindor the impact they had made on her life already was amazing. Minerva couldn't contain a chuckle as the thought that they had hit Hogwarts like a tornado, blowing away three teachers and the headmaster, she was drawn from her thoughts as the bell rang and they all trooped into class as she began her 'no nonsense in my classroom' spiel before handing out the matches.

Ginny was sitting with Luna and determined to put into practice what Hermione had taught her last week in Charms, she imagined the needle in her mind and really focused on it before waving her wand over the match while allowing her magic to flow, looking at her task she saw a perfect needle and an astonished Professor McGonagall.

"Twenty points to Gryffindor Miss Weasley for astonishing work, Lady Hermione would appear to be an inspirational teacher, are you sure my job is safe?" she asked jokingly.

None of the now blushing Potters answered as they casually waved their wands over the matches, leaving three identical needles on the bench. Minerva had a fun period as she ran them through most of the first year spells, the Potters coped easily and towed Ginny along with them, any trouble she had was soon resolved by Luna rather than Hogwarts new headmistress. Minerva would have to speak to Pomona and Filius about assessing what level the Potters were actually at, there seemed little point in them wasting time in first year when their abilities appeared easily beyond that. If possible she would like the youngest Weasley to move on with them, striving to keep up with her friends was pushing the young witch to excel, just a pity they weren't friends with her brother. That was one floo call she would be looking forward to making to the Weasley household, the fact that Ronald wasn't coping with second year work was not, both Weasleys could end up swapping classes which would not go down well with the youngest brother.

At the end of the class the three said goodbye to Ginny and removed their robes to reveal casual muggle clothes, Luna answered a questioning raised eyebrow from McGonagall. "We have a class at our other school in twenty minutes, Emma is waiting for us in the car and Hedwig will take us to her location. Unfortunately we can't just appear in the middle of the hall, well not without hundreds of questions we aren't allowed to answer so we have to arrive by car."

Hermione was placing her robe into what looked like an ordinary bag, "These were especially made for us, the bags have a secret hidden compartment that we can keep all our magical stuff in while still holding our books for normal school."

The three then flashed out with their astonishing phoenix leaving Minerva standing there wondering if it was just Hogwarts they were having this affect on or could it actually pass into the wider wizarding world? She had even noticed Mr Longbottom walking about a bit straighter, but that may also be due to the fact that Severus Snape was no longer in the castle, while the Bones / Diggory saga had even been mentioned in the staff room. She hoped their family would come along to the open day on Halloween, it would be nice to see Sirius and Remus again and she also remembered Maia as being one of Filius's favourite students. Yes there was a totally different atmosphere in the castle now and which the Potters had been the catalyst for change.

-oOoOo-

Emma had parked in a quiet spot of the multi-story car park only five minutes drive from Wyedean school, Hedwig delivered the trio who piled into the car and greeted their little sister, "She wouldn't stay at home when she heard I was coming to pick you up." Danni wasn't caring, Harry was sitting in the front with her and anytime he lavished attention on the toddler made her very happy.

They soon arrived and all three left the car reluctantly, Harry was going to have to do something about this, his girls were unhappy and that was not a situation he was prepared to allow. Jillian must have been waiting on them arriving because she sprang over and actually took Harry by the arm and made to lead him away, he stood firm. "Jillian, what are you playing at?"

"Oh Harry I wanted to talk to you about my party tomorrow night, surely Luna and Hermione told you I wanted to join and be your girlfriend to."

"I have no intention of taking any more girlfriends, Luna and Hermione may be prepared to share but I'm not. They both are all I've ever wanted and I simply don't feel that way about anyone else, sorry Jillian but all I have to offer is friendship."

The raven haired beauty was flabbergasted, "But Harry it's my birthday, and I've told everyone you're going with me."

Harry had two girls in his head advising him to hold his temper but they weren't entirely successful, "Who gave you the right to decide that? You stepped over the line Jillian and it would now be too awkward for us to be there tomorrow night so I apologise for the short notice but we will not be attending." Harry removed the girls hand from his arm before taking both Luna and Hermione's hands and walked away from the stunned girl.

The three were having an argument across their bond, "Harry, don't you think you were a little rough on her?" asked Hermione.

"No, it needed to be said, we're not some freak show available for birthday parties and Bar Mitzvah's, need a date? Then one of us will do it. Had that been a guy deciding one of you was going to be his date because you both go out with me, I would have decked him! They're treating me in the same way, because I have two girlfriends I will go with anyone, it stops right now and maybe my beautiful wives will be happy again."

"Hermione, I agree with Harry. Had the positions been reversed and it was us that were being hit on, we both know what Harry's reaction would be and that's exactly what we would want him to do, he's our boyfriend meaning we're off limits to other boys so it should be the same for him."

"I'm not arguing with that, it was just a bit harsh the day before her birthday."

"What would have been harsh was me going along with the charade, eventually hurting Jillian but more importantly hurting the both of you, there is no way I could do that."

This earned him two kisses which were needed to fortify them as they went to face the rest of their friends, they hadn't exactly been rushing so Jillian had beaten them to it, Jamie and Claire came towards them while Matt appeared to be spoiling for a fight.

"Jillian told us you're no longer going to her party, is this true?" Claire asked.

"Yes, since she told everyone I would be there as her boyfriend it would be just too awkward for both of us, as well as Hermione and Luna. All my girlfriend vacancies have been well and truly filled by the two girls with me now."

Both looked shocked at this revelation, "She didn't tell us you were going to be her boyfriend, we all know that's what she wants but why would she say it?" Jamie puzzled.

It was like a light bulb illuminating Claire's eyes, "To guilt trip Harry into saying yes, she must have freaked out when Mr Noble here sent her away with a flea in her ear. She would have expected you just to agree so not to hurt her feelings and probably played the birthday card as well, you three are really serious about each other aren't you?"

Hermione slipped her arm around Harry's waist before answering, "Yes Claire we are, we know this is not what's usually considered 'normal' but it works for us. All three of us are officially off the boyfriend / girlfriend market and that's the way we want it. Jillian needed it spelled out for her so that's what Harry was forced into doing, we all like her but only as a friend."

Harry was shaking his head, "Guilt trip? I live with Maia, Cas, Emma, my two girlfriends and little sister yet I swear I'll never understand girls."

Luna's arm made its way around him as well, "Harry you're not supposed to understand us, just kiss us as required?"

"I think I can cope with that," the three left to give the group time to sort out the new information, they would meet them later in class.

-oOoOo-

Sirius emerged with tickets in hand, truth be told he hated ballet but Maia, Cas and especially Emma loved it so he would just suffer in silence. Maia and him were getting along great but he was still worried about Emma feeling left out so this would be a treat for all off them. Sirius still cringed the first time he accompanied the women and couldn't believe his eyes at what the men were wearing.

His 'joke' about that being there so the women could stand on it during their lifts went down like a lead balloon; it also backfired when he found a 'dance belt' amongst his Christmas presents that year. Mortified was a fair description of opening it in front of everybody before realizing what it was, it was at least Easter before the teasing stopped.

He would have dinner with three beautiful ladies, endure Swan Lake and then get to say goodnight to Maia – the best part of the evening. Things between them were going so well that he was even considering a ring for her finger, he just hopped he wasn't misreading the situation because he was falling for Maia in a very big way.

-oOoOo-

Jillian couldn't even look in the trio's direction as she entered the class while Matt appeared ready to apologise though, since he hadn't done anything, that was going to be waved away and forgotten about.

Harry was being mentally berated about 'poor Jillian' and 'she's been crying' by his wives for the entire period so that, by the time the last bell rang, he had his defences at maximum which just seemed to annoy his girls more, he could no longer here their specific thoughts, just the odd word and the fact that they were definitely peeved at him.

Jillian approached the now tense trio, "Harry I need to apologise to you for my behaviour earlier, I had no right to say the things I did. I hope we can still be friends and would really like the three of you to be at my party, it won't be the same if you're not there."

Harry's rarely used defences were taking a battering as both girls fought to make their opinions known but he was going to say what he wanted to say, "Jillian what you tried to do today is not something that one friend should do to another…"

He was interrupted by his girls who'd had enough of being ignored, "Jillian I will be there," said Hermione, quickly followed by Luna proclaiming the same.

Jillian turned her attention to Harry with tears in her eyes, he had lost all colour in his features at his wives declarations without even letting him finish what he wanted to say. To him they were playing the same game that Jillian was guilty of earlier and this had never happened between the trio before, "I'm sorry Jillian, you lied to me to try and force me into something I didn't want to do, I accept your apology but it's going to take time to rebuild a friendship, certainly not before tomorrow night so I'm afraid I won't be there."

Harry walked away leaving three stupefied and speechless girls behind.

Emma didn't need a degree in parenting for her senses to start screaming something was wrong as Harry entered the car, apart from his expression and demeanour the three were always together, this could be bad.

"Where are Hermione and Luna?"

"Talking to Jillian," was his only reply as he played with a delighted Danni, Emma then caught sight of the two girls heading towards the car and had to up her earlier estimate, this could be very bad. Hermione looked ready to explode while Emma had no yardstick to measure Luna against, she didn't think she'd ever seen the girl angry before.

They both got in the back of the car and slammed the door shut, this was the signal for Hermione to let loose, "Harry James Potter you left that girl in tears back there, she knows she made a mistake and apologised for it. We tried to tell you all afternoon what she was feeling but since when do we start blocking one another?"

Harry's temper flared as he'd had enough of being the bad guy here, "Hermione Jane Potter I started blocking when my feelings were being ignored by you two in favour of not further upsetting poor Jillian, you're so smart so answer me this, since when did we put other peoples feelings before one of ours? You both made your positions quite clear and so have I, kindly stay out of my head as holding you both out is giving me a blinding headache!"

Danni turned round as far as her car seat would allow to glare at her big sisters, "Hermi and Lulu bad to Harry, make him angry!" The toddler then reached for her brother's hand in the silence that ensued, Emma started the car and began the drive home, figuring to give tempers time to cool before asking questions. A glance in the rear view mirror showed two girls very close to tears, all anger had left them at Harry's outburst, there was going to be no quick fix for this.

Harry had refused to be drawn all evening and had chatted away to Danni all through dinner, politely answering anyone who asked him a direct question but saying nothing of consequence. He then sat separate from the girls in the library and finished all his homework before choosing a book to read, when his wives said goodnight to his grandparents Harry just sat where he was as they headed off to their room.

It was Martha who had to speak out, watching the three of them in pain was not something she could endure, "Harry you're bonded to those girls and this hurts you every bit as much as it does them, you have to talk this through with them son."

"That's the problem Gran, they made their decisions without talking to me or considering my feelings on the matter, we've never done that before and I'm terrified what it could mean. Could they like someone else more than they like me? This feels worse than any time I spent in that cupboard but that would kill me Gran, loosing even one of them would tear me to pieces."

The tears were freely flowing down his cheeks now as Cas popped into the library, "Excuse me Sir, Madam, but I have need of your grandson." She grabbed Harry by the shoulder and popped him into his bathroom, where the giant sunken bath currently held two crying witches.

"I will not stand back and watch members of my family hurt each other, get this sorted NOW!" with a snap of her fingers had Harry's clothes disappearing and she literally flung him into the bath. "No one leaves this room until you repair the damage your stupidity, pride or whatever else you want to blame caused. You are bonded and to ignore one another is not only painful but dangerous, I will do whatever it takes to protect my family even if it means forcing you to see sense here." They all heard the door lock as she left.

Harry managed to stop spluttering long enough to say, "Eh Hi!" to the crying girls, it was hardly a sonnet from Shakespeare or a poem from Rabbie Burns but to the girls it was more than enough. Harry soon had his arms full of two naked and still crying witches, but it was their presence once more in his mind that made him rejoice! Tonight for the first time since he met his girls Harry had felt alone, that was not a feeling he ever wanted to be acquainted with again.

Their thoughts were jumbled up as all three tried to apologise for everything they could think of at the same time, when the hugs began to include kisses then their troubles just drained away as Luna discovered she had a whole new improved version of her happy place, which was only going to get better as she grew like Hermione.

They may not have solved their problem yet but now they were communicating again the trio would deal with that tomorrow, tonight was for reassuring each other that they would be many, many more tomorrows for them to wake up together.

The emotions emanating from the bath permeated throughout the Manor as the mounting tension dispersed as if it never was, all thoughts of a certain party were forgotten by the three, in fact their only conscious thought was that they would have to do something very special for Cas, she was just the best.

-oOoOo-

Far away in another country, another girl was also in water but in quite different circumstances, she was shivering because she was terrified. The last time Myrtle had heard that hissing voice in this toilet was also the last time she drew breath, the two facts were not coincidental. She'd left this very cubicle that last time to shout at the male voice she'd heard hissing in the girl's toilet only to meet her death by a pair of giant yellow eyes, even though she'd been a ghost for almost half a century, Myrtle had no intention of leaving her beloved U bend tonight for any reason.

-oOoOo-

Chance couldn't contain his chuckle as he watched the blond boy enter the chamber, this should wipe that constant smirk off Fate's face. He was sick of listening to the bitch boasting about her golden trio which is why he took action in the first place, he decided to make himself scarce before he was caught.

Fate emerged from the shadows after he had left and watched as the blond boy explored the chamber, Chance had manufactured this situation but she would ensure that it ended with extreme prejudice. They were about to find out just how big a bitch Fate could be and she wouldn't be leaving anything to Chance.
