Kate's New Ward
-thoughts-
"speech"
Kate Hade was not the motherly person she appeared to be on paper or even in person. In fact she was the opposite. She was a death eater hiding from the United States Office of Magic and Britain's too but with Fudge in charge there was not much to worry about. Kate was the oldest daughter of the Malfoy Family married into the Hades of United States who were one of the few pure blood elitist families of the US. She did have two children, both of whom (at least according to her) were wretched little unfaithful brats. Her son was muggle loving doctor trying to combine magic and science in the medical field. Kate's only daughter had (in the most un-lady like fashion) had decided to join the AIR FORCE! The muggle side of it even! The HORROR! And even though they had abandoned their family and all it stood for her husband had decided to leave them money anyway. The soft old fool!
Kate, when it was learned she was a Death Eater, changed her looks. She had gone being a blond to redhead, short to a little over average height, old to young and pale to nicely tanned. Overall she thought the change was a definite improvement, even if she was the only one to say so. Hade even without her money was important to Lord Voldemort, just for being good in potions. Every week Hade would send a shipment of experimental potions, some meant to heal others to torture and dispose of muggles. This was the life (in her mind).
In the new background she'd created for herself, Hade had decided to let it be known that she had a squib sister. It would throw people off her trail, because no self-respecting Death Eater would voluntarily associate with a Squib. Kate had another reason though for keeping a connection with her sister, her sister's son, he was a hell-born! Someone who was not only raised on a hell mouth but conceived and born on it! His blood held massive power just by virtue of where he had been born and raised. Alas she had never had a chance to get some. For many reasons, the Hellmouth liking Xander and the Hellmouth not liking her were to name a few. Her sister had made sure to keep the boy as far away as possible from Kate, and probably never would. At least that is what she thought any way.

"Sister you do know that this will not work on most of the important players!"
"Yes I KNOW brother but remember some times it is the smaller players that can do the most have in a plan."
"I see your point and will help, now may we begin?"
"Yes"
"Memories Shift Memories change Make this weave a truth to all and a gift to the champion."
A Light of rainbows flashed and shadows of pitch came after ward. Magic went out in to the world changing records and memories. Many did not remember a white knight that protected the Slayer to be named Xander Harris but Jesse Harris. Records showed a boy of 10 to be Xander Harris with a 19 year old bother named Jesse recently deceased. But just like the young God of Curiosity said there were those that remembered Xander as he truly was.

"Hello?"
"Mrs Hade?"
" This is she."
("This is Ms. Knoxson form Social Services, I am sorry to tell you but your younger sister died and let the care of her youngest son , Alexander , to you."
" OH the poor boy! What of his brother, Jesse?"
"Mrs. Hade the older boy was in the car with his parents when they crashed."
"The poor dear he did look up to his brother so much!"
"Yes because of that we have feel it best to get him settled as soon as possible, would you be able to pick him up at the airport next week?"
"Sure I will pick him up at the airport! Just tell me when!"
"This Monday, his plane should land at 6:00 am."
"Alright, thank you!"
-Oh, this just had to the work of that Chaos witch Willow. I felt like I was under the Imperious curse. Unable to disagree at all! If only my spy on the Hellmouth had not been eaten then I would know just what had set the witch off! As well as were she found the memory rewriting spell. If not for my wards I would never of known or gotten my memories back! It is times like these that I am glad to have had Wiccan (true Wiccan) ancestors. Why brother does not realize that they could use wands too is so irritating! There was a time when wands were only for the weak magic users. Wandless users today are praised if they go public, -
CRASH!
-what the #%$$%*& was that?-
10 minutes earlier
A truck pulled up to the curb outside of Kate Hades apartment building. Inside were three men and one woman. The first man to get out of the truck and the only one of the group who was black was a tall man who moved like a warrior. The only odd thing about him was that he was wearing a hat and it got a few odd looks given the heat. Those who had met the man outside of the SGC all thought his name was Murray. The second man to get out was a little shorter than the first though but not by much and he had salt and pepper hair. While he had the air of a warrior about him as well, his face showed a lively interested expression that indicated he still took joy in life. His name as he liked to tell people was Jack O'Neill with two Ls. The last man to get out of the truck was about the same height as Jack, with baby blue eyes and brown hair. While he also was well built and looked like he could hold his own in a fight, there was something about him that told people he was a peacemaker first and warrior second. The people at Starbucks which was almost his second home outside of Cheyenne Mountain knew him as Dr. Daniel Jackson a scholar cause he usually came in reading old books or books in languages no one else could understand. The last to get out of the truck was the woman. She was only slightly shorter than the last two men. She had short blond hair, blue eyes and she also moved with a warrior's grace, though the conversation she was having with Dr. Jackson as she got out of the truck clearly indicated she was also very intelligent.
Once they were all out of the truck, Jack cleared his throat and interrupted their discussion. "Well Daniel it's your stuff who gets what?"
Daniel glanced at the boxes. "Well Jack why don't you take the box of clothes, Sam will you take the computer boxes? And Murray there is a big box of plates and glasses, could you get that?"
Jack looked disappointed at being given the clothes. He'd expected to do some heavy lifting. "OK I get that Sam gets the computer boxes because she will probably help you put them together later and Murray gets the heavy boxes because he is the strongest of us but why do I get the clothes?"
The other three looked at each other trying to find a way to avoid answering the question. As they go up to the to the third floor. Talking all the way. As the reached Daniel's apartment and therefore within earshot of Katey Hade's apartment, Jack dropped his box.
CRASH! Wondering what made the noise but not not wanting to open the door and find out Katey eavesdrops on what is happening in the hallway.
"Sorry Daniel"
"That is why I wanted Murray carrying the breakable stuff Jack"
"Well it is safe to say who you trust more!" This Jack sounded annoyed.
Katey heard the soft bam of a door closing and the voices were gone.
-Ahh the new neighbor, perfect even if Dr. Jackson is a muggle, he is very good at different languages. Some thing that interested young Alexander immensely when he was younger before his parents destroyed his curiosity.-
Else Where
"Good idea of getting the Hade women interested in Daniel with out making her want to kill him!"
"Not my idea brother."
"Then whose was it?"
"The CREATOR, he/she mentioned this idea to the person who has a plan involving Daniel but from what I understand they never took the advice so the Creator took direct action to make sure this wasn't messed up."
"Must be why so many plans or events involving Daniel go funky."
"Exactly, brother"
