Pirate Blood

Chapter 29

Draco walked into his house. He found his mother in the den. His mother immediately pulled him into a hug and started talking. "Draco, I've missed you so much. I have so much to tell you. Rachel was expelled from Magic Preschool. Apparently she the teachers ink bottle with her powers. She is already so like Kaylee. Getting kicked out of school at two. They think Rachel can control her powers. How dare they! I'm going to get her to another one, but honestly. A young witch can't control her powers, especially powers as peculiar as hers. How are you?" She finished.

"I'm good. I've missed you. But I have a surprise." he said.

"What is it?" Narcissa asked.

"Come in." he said. A girl with blood red hair and black highlights with fair skin came in. She smiled at Narcissa.

"Kaylee." She said in a voice barely above a whisper. Narcissa pulled her into a tight embrace.

"Mistress, Little Miss is now dressed." a voice from behind said.

"Thank you Millie." she said letting go of Kaylee.

Millie's eyes opened wide. "Young Mistress is back?"

"Yes, but you are not to tell anyone, Millie." Kaylee said.

"Millie, where did she go?" Narcissa asked.

"Oh dear." Millie said. She was back five seconds later. "Here is Little Miss. She had wondered down the hallway."

Next to Millie stood a little girl who looked to be about two. She had wavy blonde hair down to her shoulders that was pulled into a high ponytail. She was in a light blue shirt and pants. "Mommy!" she yelled. Kaylee had kneeled down on the floor. Rachel ran into her arms.

"Hey, sweetie." Kaylee said. She kissed her daughter's forehead. She was using all her strength not to completely break down crying.

"I missed you."

"I missed you too."

"Are you gonna leave again?"

Kaylee hesitated for a moment. "All that matters is that I am here now. Don't worry about me going away, right now."

"Millie bring us some tea. We have loads to discuss."

It was midnight. Jesse had been playing guitar. Jesse Sparrow was in his house playing guitar. That felt wonderful. He was himself. He was at home. He looked out his telescope. The telescope was a wizard's telescope, so when you looked through it, it seemed as if you were only five feet from what you're looking at. The telescope also let you hear. It was pointed in the same direction it was when he left. Hermione's bedroom window. He could see Hermione in her room. She was sitting in her bed. She was in a black tank top and grey track pants. She ran a hand through her hair. She was breathing heavily. She was sweating. "Stop it, Hermione. He won't come here." she said to herself, "Why can't I just sleep without a nightmare?"

Jesse went into his desk drawer. It was still there. His dad had enchanted a pack of papers to fly when made into a paper airplane. Just scrawled down the words 'Hermione, apparate over. –Jesse'. He folded it into a paper airplane and sent it out the window.

Hermione was in his room a second later. "What's wrong, Jesse?" she asked. She sat down on the bed next to him.

"I looked out my telescope and saw you. You can't sleep without nightmares, can you?" Jesse asked.

"Not yet. I don't get it. He didn't even get to really do anything. He just tried to." she said. He put an arm around her.

"It still affected you. It would affect anyone." he said.

"I know but I can't sleep. I just feel like he could hurt me whenever I'm alone."

"Then stay here tonight. Your parents never notice when you don't come home."

"Okay, thanks, Jesse."

"I'm going to sleep on the floor–" Jesse started.

"Jesse, just sleep in bed with me. I don't want you to sleep on the floor." Hermione said.

"Are you sure?" he asked.

"Yeah. But don't try anything funny." Hermione said.

"Okay, fine." Hermione got under the covers with Jesse. He put his arm around her waist. Hermione's put her hand on top of his. They fell asleep, without nightmares.

There was only small talk while Rachel was awake. After she went to bed, Kaylee explained everything in detail. Kaylee had gone to sleep in the guest room next to Draco's room. She had a sleepless night. There was an owl at her window in the morning. It was from Jesse. Jesse had to go to the reading of their dad's will. He wanted her to go with him. He had a plan to hide who she was. Go as Chris, and say she was a friend there for moral support.

Kaylee got dressed in jeans, a white tank top, and a black velvet blazer. She wore black boots with a four inch stiletto heel. She went down to the kitchen for some coffee. Draco was already there. "Why are you up?" he asked.

"Good morning to you too, Draco."

"Good morning. But you are never awake before noon on a day off without a reason." he said. He knew her to well.

She gave him the letter from Jesse. She poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down. "That sucks. You know what he left you already, though. Right?"

"Yeah. He left us, technically Jesse now, everything he had. The money, Sparrow's, the house, everything. But they need to go and make it all official." she said.

"You have to get to your house in five minutes."

"Yeah, I want to see if Rachel's awake, and tell her I'll be back."

"I checked on her five minutes ago. It's only eight. She won't be up for a while. I'll make sure to tell her you'll be back, though."

"Thanks, Draco. I should head over. I'll see you later." She left to go to her old home.
