Reviews:

ThunderClaw03: That it is and I can't wait to write more about it. Yes, yes, he is.

Jostanos: Thanks. I wasn't sure what exactly I could have Jason's gift be, but a mirror just fit, you know? Yeah that reference is fairly old. An interesting thought that may just come about, but perhaps not.

Twister60: Thank you!

Time goes on

"The design isn't bad at all. It could definitely use some work, but it is possible," Jareth said making Calla grin, "Perhaps have another control mechanism to ensure that if one is lost or damaged, Miss Granger won't be without. Earrings would be a good idea, they would need to be small though to ensure they're over looked,"

"They can't have pointed edges," Calla said as she tried to picture them, "Studs would work,"

"Skin colored?" Jareth asked peering at her.

Calla thought about it for a few moments before shaking her head, "We would need to be able to see them. Perhaps a glamour charm over them to prevent people not in the know from seeing them? We should also make it so Hermione's second personality won't be able to take them off."

Jareth began drawing something and Calla watched as a pair of stud earrings took form, "I'll be difficult to add all of the spells we need to them."

"Why not have the control mechanism in the ball of the stud and the glamour on the back of them," Calla suggested before pointing to thin line of metal that would be going through Hermione's ears, "The thing that would keep Hermione's second personality from taking them off would go there,"

Jareth's head tilted slightly before he nodded, "That's a brilliant idea, I can make it in three seperate, but connecting parts," He looked at Calla and patted her on the head, "You are a brilliant girl, Sprite."

"Thank you, Uncle," Calla beamed at him before looking back at the design, "We can't use certain metals otherwise they'll end up dissolving under the strain,"

"I'm thinking rose-gold would be a good metal to use," Jareth replied earning a curious look, "It's a metal that is very conductive for fae magic and should be strong enough to handle the strain so long as I mix just a hint of goblin steel to act as a sieve which will allow the device to be fueled by Miss Granger's own magic,"

"That would mean adding a spell that would ensure it wouldn't absorb too much magic at one time," Calla said as she looked down at the design, "But that shouldn't be too hard as limiting spells generally do not interfere with any magic save the one that they're there for,"

Jareth finished the design and they both looked it over before nodding. He put them away into a box that he would be taking back to his home, "Now, I only need to meet Miss Granger and get a sample of her magic as well as her second personalities energy. Once I do, I can start constructing the controlling mechanisms."

Calla nodded with a relieve smile, "Thank you for doing this, Uncle. I really don't want to lose one of my friends because of stupid magicals."

"I'm happy to help," Jareth replied as Jason walked into the living room, "It's an interesting project,"

"Finished?" Jason asked as he set down a tray of drinks and snacks onto the living room table.

"Yes and you were right about how smart she is," Jareth said as he reached over to grab a mug of something steaming.

Calla grimaced as she noticed the glass of milk on the table before turning to pout at her father. Jason chuckled as he poured some chocolate sauce into the milk and stirred it before holding it out to her, "I know you don't like drinking it, but you need to until you finish growing."

Grumbling a bit, she drank some of the milk. Admittedly, it didn't taste so bad with the chocolate sauce in it, but she still didn't like it. Jason sat down, "So when do you want to check her scar?"

Calla looked up at Jareth as she grabbed a cookie from the tray. Jareth hummed softly, "Now would probably be a good idea."

Calla took a bite of her cookie before setting it down along with the milk, "How will this work?"

"Just sit still and close your eyes," Jareth instructed as he turned to face her, "Your scar will probably itch a bit while I'm doing this, but that's normal. It shouldn't take me very long,"

Calla did as Jareth had asked while keeping her attention on his energy. Jareth's energy was like a fast flowing river with just a hint of electricity to it. A hand that radiated his energy rose up and pressed against her forehead. She struggled not to fidget as his energy slid over her scar before sliding inside of it. Thanks to his energy, she could now feel the sickening energy of Voldemort inside of it. It was a twisted and malevolent energy that left her wanting to heave at the fact it was inside of her scar. A second energy that felt like warm fire that burned the edges of Voldemort's energy and kept it from spreading. She knew that it was her mother's energy. Eventually, Jareth's energy slipped away and she couldn't feel either energies within her scar. She opened her eyes as Jason asked, "What did you find out?"

"I do not have the power to get rid of the soul piece in her scar without risking both her life and the soul of your wife," Jareth answered making Calla's stomach drop, "However, I know of some who might be able to help. I'll ask around and see what I can do. It is possible to seperate the three, but it will take skills that I do not possess," Jareth offered Calla a warm smile, "I promise that everything will work out,"

"Is there anyway to remove Lily's soul without allowing the soul piece to harm Calla or kill her?" Jason asked with a frown.

Jareth shook his head, "No. It's her soul and its energy that is keeping the soul piece contained. Only once the soul piece is removed and destroyed can we remove Lily's soul."

Calla spoke seeing her father sigh, "It's okay, Papa. It just means it'll be a little bit longer until Mama can be with us physically."

"You're right," Jason looked at Jareth, "Keep me up to date, okay?"

"Of course, cousin," Jareth picked up his mug, "So long as you do the same,"

Jason walked with Jareth behind Slenderman as the faceless entity led them to the room that Hermione was staying in. The faceless entity paused in front of a door and unlocked it before saying, "Try to avoid getting too close. The second personality is still quite violent."

Slenderman opened the door and they walked inside. Jason looked at the bed and found Hermione sitting on it cross legged reading a book. She looked up and her eyes settled on him, "M-Mr. Maker?"

"Hello, Hermione," Jason greeted her making note that she didn't look too bad, "How are you doing?"

"I...I'm okay...I guess," Hermione looked down at her hands.

Jason glanced at Jareth and Slenderman before asking, "Do you understand what's going on?"

Hermione shook her head, "Not really, I don't know what to believe anymore," She looked up at Jason, "Why did Calla let this happen?"

"She didn't have a choice," Jason answered watching confusion fill her eyes, "It was going to happen no matter what once Slenderman had everything ready and you'd settled in. Calla made the decision to bring you to Slenderman wanting you to have a familiar face with you and because she would have interfered otherwise,"

"Why hasn't she come to see me?" Hermione asked as her eyes flashed sea blue, "Why? Is she scared of me?"

"I haven't allowed her to come see you because I do not want her to get hurt," Jason explained feeling Hermione's energy start to change a bit showing that her other personality was attempting to gain control, "Calla would never be scared of you not when there are far more scary things out there,"

Hermione's jaw clenched and she scowled at him, "What gives you the right to keep her from us?"

Hermione's eyes were slowly turning sea blue as she glared at him. Jason kept his expression passive as he said, "I am her father and I will not let anyone take her away from me least of all a child."

Sea blue eyes burned with anger as Hermione's second personality took full control, "And you think you'll be able to stop us? She's ours!"

"And who are you?" Jason kept a careful eye on the book in Hermione's lap.

"Who am I? I am Leon and if you keep Calla from me, I'll rip your head off," The male personality hissed at Jason.

Jason snorted at the threat, "And that right there is why I'm keeping her away from you. Until you learn how to control yourself, you will not be going anywhere near her."

Leon let out a snarl tossing the box to the ground and attempting to lunge at Jason only for the shackles around his legs to prevent it. Slenderman pulled Jason and Jareth from the room as snarled curses were hurled at them. Jareth whistled as the door closed behind them, "The sprite sure does know how to pick her friends, Cousin."

"Did you get what you need?" Jason asked earning a nod, "Good," Jason looked at Slenderman, "Has any progress actually been made?"

"He didn't immediately push for control or try to attack you," Slenderman replied making Jason sigh, "With the control devices, we should be able to make more progress. As it stands, EJ has finished running the paternity test. He will give us the results tonight,"

Jason nodded, "Calla was hoping she'd be able to see Hermione soon."

"Depending on how the next few days go, I may allow the child out of the room for a little while," Slenderman said as they began walking away from the room, "She will be under guard. If you allow it, Calla may see her. If anything, it might help the child learn how to control herself,"

"I will need to think about that," Jason really didn't want Calla to get hurt.

Dinner at the mansion was always fun, Calla looked forward to each dinner as the food was always good and the company was awesome for the most part. With Splendorman and Luna there, the dinners were a little bit odder though it didn't change how fun they were. Luna was an odd little duck that often made random comments. Sometimes, they were just bizarre and ignored by the table. Other times, they were odd observations that quickly enraged certain members of the mansion. With everyone being the way they were, Splendorman and Luna fit right in at the dinner table.

Calla snickered as Jeff's face was slammed into the table by one of Slenderman's tentacles when he attempted to dive over the table at Luna. Slenderman cleared his throat, "As most of you are probably curious as to who Miss Granger's father is, EJ?"

Eyeless Jack stood up with a file in hand, "Hermione Granger's father is...Liu."

Liu looked a bit faint, "Y-you're sure?"

"Yes," Eyeless Jack handed the file over to Liu.

Liu opened the file with shaking hands and looked through it as Vivian commented, "Well, it's better than being sisters with her."

Jason woke up with a start as he heard a scream from Calla's room and immediately shot out of bed to find out what was wrong. Upon entering the room, he smelt blood and looked to see Calla shaking a bit with blood coating her sleeping shorts. Immediatly, he realized what was wrong as Calla looked up at him with a pale face, "P-Papa?"

"Let me get Candy Cane," Jason told her before leaving to find Candy Cane walking out of her room, "Cane, Calla started her..."

Candy Cane's eyes widened before she nodded and moved towards Calla's room, "Go make the calming tea in the cupboard, she'll need it. Brother," Candy Pop walked out of his room with a concerned look on his face, "Change out Calla's mattress and bed spread. I'll get her cleaned up and explain everything to her. You two go drink or whatever once you're done your tasks. I don't need you messing anything up."

Candy Cane pushed past them to enter Calla's room and Jason shook his head, "Tender's?"

"Tender's," Candy Pop nodded.

Vivian stared at Calla in shock, "Seriously?"

Calla nodded shifting uncomfortably, "Yeah."

"I am not looking forward to that, but at least yours started before we went back to school," Vivian offered earning another nod, "You okay?"

"Everything is uncomfortable," Calla tried not to tug at her pants, "Candy Cane said it'll take time to get used to it, but that doesn't make me feel any better,"

Vivian gained a thoughtful look on her face, "I think I heard one of the upper years talk about how chocolate helps. Want to go see if LJ has any?"

Calla perked up at the thought of something helping with the uncomfortable cramps, "Sure!"
