The next summer when the girls were 16 it was decided that they would spend the entire summer in England. Robert McGonagall was stressed about having a house full of magic children, all now in Hogwarts and around his precocious and inquisitive niece.
Robert made his excuse for the change to his sister, that the boys were driving Minerva insane and the girls were now old enough to take the train into London and see the sights if they wanted too.
Olivia and Minerva were happy about it. Minerva planned on coming to London for a job within a few years and would love to have adventures there with Olivia. The two girls had matured into lovely young ladies. Minerva being tall and slim with red hair, compared to a petite curvy Olivia with her sunny strawberry blonde hair. The boys in the area noticed and this was where this summer's problems began.
The lovely manor home down the road was home to the Wilson family. This summer, like the past, the two Wilson brothers came home from boarding school and college to live the life of the wealthy with little or no parental oversight.
Ronald and Joseph Wilson are now 18 and 17 years of age and sowing their wild oats in town on a nightly bases. Their father, a wealthy man who taught them to get what they want with hard work and single-minded dedication to a cause, in all aspects of their lives. Their parents were often in London, leaving their ill mannered sons to abuse their country home and the surrounding area with impunity.
These two privileged arrogant young men had no trouble bedding whoever they choose from the town, and were treated like princes wherever they went. However, the Wilson boys have taken noticed the two beautiful girls down the road. Olivia and her pretty Scottish cousin have always held their attention, as they daily watch them walk by. Olivia Jenkins, the annoying girl from their childhood, had become a beautiful woman and so had her flame haired cousin.
Ronald had been obsessed with Olivia for years. Even as a child he remembered tormenting her but she always stood her ground and gave it all back as hard as she could, for a girl.
Joseph had also always liked Olivia, especially the way she would give him a crooked smile when Ronald was not looking. Joseph told Ronald that he liked Olivia one day and his older brother snapped.
"Olivia is not for you…I am oldest so I get her, you can have the pretty cousin."
"But what if Olivia likes me better?"
After a punch to the face and body, Joseph never voiced his opinions on the lovely Olivia again to his larger and older brother. The young men had taken to observing the girls through binoculars as they walked by, towards the woods every morning. Father caught them on morning that he was in town and inquired about the object of their surveillance. They told him about the two girls from the Jenkins family.
Father told them to invite them over and have a small party for some of the people nearby to impress the girls and do it correctly by writing and sending the invitation addressed to the father, Thomas Jenkins.
Ronald and Joseph began working on their plan and the party was arranged, for when their parents would be in London for the weekend.
The invitation came and Olivia's parents suggested that the two of them go and enjoy themselves with others from the neighbourhood. Olivia and Minerva were nervous about the party, they had not even seen the Wilson boys yet this year. Hopefully, they had matured. The two of them do not really want to go, however Judith and Thomas are impressed by the invitation and urged them to attend, thinking that it was a way in which the Wilson's were trying to apologise to them.
Thomas drove the girls to the party at 8 and told them he would be back at midnight to pick them up. The house was all lit up and the music was loud. The girls walked to the door just as it opened with a flourish, Ronald welcomed them and ushered them in.
Minerva frowned when she saw the empty great room. The party was a ruse to get them here and alone. Olivia and Minerva shifted nervously on their feet as Ronald and Joseph handed them each a drink and asked them to join them for a romantic grown up dinner.
The intent behind the invitation was now obvious and Robert latched on to Olivia like a drowning man to a life-preserver. Minerva had the same problem with Joseph but she was confident in her abilities to help her if she needed it. Olivia had only her wits to outmaneuver Ronald.
Ronald separated Olivia from her cousin, dragging her along to give her a tour of the house. Joseph did the same to Minerva. These young men had nothing but arrogance and wealth in the muggle world. This meant little to Minerva and Olivia was hardly influenced by their social importance.
Joseph gave Minerva another drink that she magically changed to water. He was an attractive boy but she already told him that she had a boyfriend in Scotland. She told him this repeatedly during the tour of the downstairs of the large house. Joseph watched her drink the water hopefully. There was possibly something other than just alcohol in the drink. Damn, she really should go and find Olivia. Joseph grabbed her suddenly and roughly, spun her around and into an embrace.
Minerva reacted instinctively and let loose a spell that knocked him back onto the sofa against the far wall of the sitting room. Joseph was knocked out cold. Minerva moved up the stairs house looking for Olivia. The use of magic without a wand took energy. She needed to find Olivia and get them out of this house as fast as possible.
Olivia continued to swat Ronald's hands away from her breast. "Ronald stop! You lied and told us this was a party! You've plied us with alcohol…do you think I'm stupid…I know you are just trying to get me in bed and it's not going to happen."
"I have watched you for ages and I want you…I've always wanted you…for years. I will promise you marriage...anything you want."
"I want to leave. I am going to university soon to study and make a life for myself. I will not play house here in your parents home, for some illusionary award of comfort and big bank account. You were never anything more than a bully and pest to me since we first met, why would I ever be with you?"
"You will not need to work…I love you…every time I see you my heart does a flip. I think we are destined to be together like Jane Eyre and Rochester."
"Oh…Do you already have a wife trapped in the attic?" Olivia added sarcastically.
"No; Olivia and you and I can attend university together. I will follow you wherever you go and I will set up a house for us there."
Olivia cannot believe that he was saying all this nonsense. "Why would you, want to marry someone who never liked you? You cannot truly love me and I don't love you. This is the nicest you have ever been to me and you keep pawing at me like a bloody predator!"
"I alway knew you would be my wife. I have never wanted anyone the way that I want you. I know I have been a pest to you, but it was because you always made me feel awkward, clumsy and idiotic. I have admired you a long time and now I am coming forward and admitting this to you. Please, tell me that you will be mine. I don't think it would be wise for you to say no."
Ronald pulled her to him and kisses her hard. It was unfortunately her first kiss and uncomfortable to say the least. Olivia pushed him away but his iron grip does not ease. Ronald pushed them backwards down the hallway and into his room. He tossed her on his bed forcefully, angered by her rejection.
Olivia was in panic mode now. Where was Minerva? Was she enduring the same treatment? Ronald jumped on her, pinning her to the bed as his hands roamed her body.
Olivia continued to struggle as he forced his tongue into her mouth. Olivia could barely breathe with all his weight and his mouth on hers. She can't even scream, but within her own head.
Suddenly Ronald's body began to glow and he lifted off of her and disappeared across the room. Olivia looked at the door to see Minerva standing there with her hair billowing around her head and her hand pointing at Ronald. There was a glow of power around her cousin that Olivia had never seen before. The smell of burning chemicals permeated the air. Minerva was panting hard and barely standing under her own power any more.
"Olivia we have to leave…now….but…weak…the ministry will come…be upset."
Olivia jumped off the bed and ran to Minerva before she collapsed. Olivia helped, practically carrying Minerva down the stairs, out of the house and down the road. They rested on a bench for a while before continuing their walk home. Olivia continuously glanced back the way they came, to see if the brothers were following them.
"They are out cold and will be for a while." Minerva said as she noticed Olivia's worried glances.
"You're a witch…and so is your mother."
Minerva nodded. "You can never say…"
"I understand…I can keep a secret." Olivia understood that to say something about this, could be dangerous for her cousin's life. If the world found out about this, there was no telling what could happen to her family.
The two girls do not tell Olivia's parents anything, other than the party ended early because the parents could not stand the noise anymore. A small white lie to protect this ever coming out. Hopefully the Wilson's had learned a lesson and would leave them alone.
Now, while the girls were on their walks, they stuck to other areas, walking in a different woods further from home.
Olivia was excited about the concept of a parallel wizarding world alongside theirs and asked a lot of questions. The ministry must have checked the Wilson house. Minerva pointed out the green smoke marker above their manor house from a distance.
Minerva did not use her wand, so she doesn't think that they could not trace her. The magic she used came from the panic deep within her.
This was the summer that Olivia learned all about muggels and Hogwarts. Minerva even displayed simple spells for her. How the world changed once she was in on the big family secret.
What Minerva and Olivia did not realize was that Ronald and Joseph often followed them at a distance. The two girls assumed that the Wilson's would be too terrified to come anywhere near them after what happened that night.
Ronald and Joseph were sure something magical had happened to them that night and became even more obsessed with the girls. Because now they were a source of power. The kind of attractive power that would benefit them in the future.
After a week Olivia asked Minerva to show her how it all worked. Olivia followed and mimicked Minerva's hand motions and felt a tingle deep inside her. She managed to make a flower glow and get larger, but it made her very tired.
"We are blood sisters…through thick and thin. I would like to see part of your magic world if I'm allowed?"
Minerva smiled. "I have to get my school supplies at Diagon Alley in London. You will be allowed to come with me, because many muggles have magical children. Dad is a muggle, as you may have guessed."
Olivia took her penknife out of her pocket. She had taken to carrying it ever since the incident with the Wilson brothers. She took it out and cut her finger holding it out to Minerva who knew just what she meant to do and cut her own finger. They joined their fingers and their blood mingled. There was even a slight glow from the connection.
Minerva looked at her cousin who was more like a sister to her. "I will eventually leave the muggle world behind and stay in the magical one. Now we will have a deeper bond and we may be able to feel a connection over great distances. We can get special bracelets in Diagon Alley that will help us stay in contact, because witches don't use phones. Some of them have never even seen a car."
Olivia was excited about being introduced to this special world. "I will miss you but I think I belong out here in our world. I want to study history and politics and enter public service. Do something important to keep this world safe from the evil men like Hitler. I want to help prevent wars if I can."
"That is a noble cause. I think that I want to do the same in my world, or teach. I think teaching would be rewarding."
Two days later the exciting day arrived. Olivia's mother saw them off on the train to London. They were to return late that evening and both girls were very excited about the trip.
Diagon Alley was incredible and Olivia would never forget the experience. The tastes, the smells and all hidden away in a corner of London. It was like going back in time.
At the wand shop a man named Ollivander helped them pick a wooden bangle for each of them.
The bracelet will connect them when the spell Ollivander cast's completed. Olivia adds one drop of blood and a hair to Minerva's wooden bracelet and Minerva does the same for Olivia's.
Unbeknownst to the girls, Joseph and Ronald Wilson followed the girls at a distance for much of the summer. They followed them all the way to London but they disappeared down a strange magic alley that closes as two of them approached.
There was a separate world that they had no access too. However, two attractive witches could gain admittance. There was power in this knowledge and they intend to find a way to get some of this power for themselves. This was not their only motivation, Ronald desperately wanted Olivia and this just amplified his desire for her.
Ronald was still furious at being rejected by Olivia. He offered that girl everything he had. His fortune, his name and his love. Any woman would beg for such a thing. His father had told him long ago that this world was made for men with money and power.
Women in the town love Ronald, he had an attractive appearance and best of all he was rich. Heir to a large manor house, a home in London and the businesses of his father. Life for him would be easy and luxurious. Mothers thrust their daughters at him. All the girls in the town, but the Jenkins family.
Olivia was the only one to say no to him. No; other women would wake up in his bed and begin nattering about what they wanted him to buy them as if they were a couple or required a reward for sex.
These other women entertain, but disgusted Ronald all at the same time. He usually bought them a trinket and never saw them again. None of them would make the wife Olivia would.
Joseph was in a similar state as his brother but he was a little more intimidated by Minerva. He thought that it was only Minerva that had a witch's power, but Ronald believed that both of the girls were magic. Ronald always had grand plans for the future and felt that by marrying them, the two of them could be unstoppable in this world. Joseph still fancied Olivia, but knew better than to say that to his brother.
University was upon them and goodbye was in the air. Minerva and Olivia shared a tearful goodbye knowing that this was the end of their childhood together. They would write letters and have their link through their bond if either of them was ever in danger. Each of them vowed that they would do what they could to help each other.
The years passed with short visits once a year. Minerva could travel by apparition to Olivia, homing in on her bracelet. It was dangerous depending on the time and place, so Olivia usually make plans with her cousin by owl-post before.
Olivia married and had two lovely children. Minerva visited after each birth and told Olivia that she felt that both the babies are muggles. There would be an owl sent when they are eleven, if either of them show any magical ability later in life.
Olivia was happy in marriage and work, advancing highly within her secret organization. Olivia did discuss her job with Minerva, even if it was not allowed. Nigel, Olivia's husband does not know about Minerva's true life, but he was use to the secrets that she had to keep by now.
Nigel was well aware of the organization that Olivia worked for and he accepted that there were things that she could never share with him from work. He just never understood that there were even more personal secrets that Olivia would always have to hide from him and the children.
Odd magical things began happening around the country by the time Olivia's children have grown. Olivia contacted Minerva or vice versa, so that Olivia could help guide the muggle authorities away from the areas of concern. Olivia kept Minerva informed on all the political dramas in the muggle world.
The rise of Voldemort was of high concern in both worlds. Olivia had a file on him and his supporters just in case MI6 should ever need the information. It was high security and anonymously written, in case anyone that stumbled upon it. Olivia delved into everything that MI6 had on the paranormal and uncovered some interesting facts about an organization set up by Queen Victoria herself, called Torchwood.
Once Olivia retired she planned on creating a liaison to replace her as a go between, between MI6 and the wizarding ministry. Minerva had friends in the ministry that she kept updated with any pertinent information that Olivia had given her over the years. Perhaps they could find another muggle relative of someone in the wizarding world just like the two of them. It had worked out well for over twenty years between them, and both sides were happy with the arrangement.
Ronald and Joseph Wilson continued studying the occult, and making connections with whomever they could in the magic underworld. They bought spells to enhance themselves and extend their youth but they never stop looking for Olivia and Minerva.
Minerva was known by their contacts, to be at the magical school as a teacher, but they would be unable to get near her because it was so well guarded. Minerva was known to also be a very powerful witch. Olivia was known to have married but she seemed to drop off the face of the earth shortly after.
Joseph did marry a woman and had a child. He was unable to carry on the obsession of his brother for that long. Unfortunately his wife died in 1992, and he quickly got sucked back into his brother's ideas once again.
Joseph worried about Ronald's mental instability and the continued obsession with Olivia from their childhood. He stayed around solely because, through this obsession, Ronald had kept them young and very rich. All the while, he continued chasing the pretty blonde woman from their youth.
With the rise of modern technology, the Wilson's accomplished the search for Olivia with new facial recognition technology. Amazingly enough, Olivia resurfaced in London in the mid 1990's.
They hired a private detective to watch her, but he eventually snapped a few photos and quit.
"That woman is someone very well guarded. It's too dangerous to watch her, she's up high in an organization that guards its secrets well." The private investigator told them as he handed them his surveillance photos.
Ronald spent a great deal of time staring at the black and white photo of the woman he had dreamt of for years.
Olivia was still a lovely woman, but by now they were nearing sixty years of age, although he didn't look it. He could make her young again, by giving her the potions that he and his brother took to give her the gift of near eternal youth.
Olivia could lead them to her cousin Minerva, and maybe they could threaten her into doing what they want. They needed more power to carry out some of their corporate plans and rise in power within other realms. Creating a youth serum to be marketed to the world would make them rich beyond anything anyone had ever seen.
The Wilson's tech team discoversed some interesting facts about a fissure in Cardiff that was leaking power. They moved there to do some more intensive occult experimentation. With new connections in outer worlds, with aliens and demons, they gathered material and abilities that most people would shy away from.
The criminal element in the wizarding world contacted Ronald occasionally with updates and potions, that in their world were considered morally wrong. But in the muggle world, these things were priceless.
It confused Ronald why, with all that power in the wizarding world, that they do not take over the muggle world. Why did they allow themselves to age, when they really didn't have too? There was apparently far less vanity in the world of witches. The power within the person must be much more alluring than physical aesthetics. He could understand this to a point, but his arrogance and vanity could not contain his desire to continue his youth indefinitely. The problem was that once you started the treatments you had to continue and that was what they could make with experimentation of alien technology mixed with magic. Perhaps the permanent appearance of youth or immortality would be found.
Regardless, the Wilson's would like to have influence and power in both worlds and connections between planets and dimensions as well. This influence would bring multiple rewards, money, extended youth and the secret of which alone could make them the wealthiest men in this world.
There was an organization in Cardiff that guarded the rift, but the energy could still be plucked from the surrounding area for their use.
The Wilson's various connections in Parliament and the echelons of power in Great Britain gave Ronald the name of a very old organization that dealt with the bizarre worlds interfering with ours. This Torchwood organization had not yet discovered them.
Once Ronald finally found the missing piece in his life he began making a plan to kidnap his love, and lure the witch out of her world. Once he brought them together he planned on binding them him and his brother for the rest of their extended lives.
They would have great wealth and power, beyond what they had now. In all his life, Ronald had not yet been rewarded with what he had wanted since he kissed her as youths…Olivia Jenkins.
Ronald sat back in his luxurious leather chair and sipped his brandy. He was still an attractive thirty year old man in a bespoke suit, with diamond cuff links that would make a Prince jealous. Tonight he sat in front of a large television with the cctv feed of London playing from some connections that alerted him to watch a particular funeral. Olivia was on this cctv feed. Her husband, Nigel Mansfield had died. Ronald watched her sadly walk away from the cemetery with armed men surrounding her.
"Don't worry my dear you will not be lonely for long."
