Kendra brought Ariana out into the back garden, having her sit among the tulips and daffodils. The mother sank down into the grass beside her daughter, watching her playing calmly among the flowers. It had been a constant battle for her to balance her daughter's emotions. She tried to get her outdoors when she could, but Kendra had to be cautious. They were currently living in a Muggle neighbourhood, having recently moved again, and she couldn't afford for Ariana to lose control of her powers.
Kendra rested her back against the oak in the garden, stroking Ariana's locks gently.
"One of these days, you'll learn how to control your magic, my dear. I promise," she breathed, hoping her words would come true soon.
