Hogwarts: New Moon

"Maddie...go up with her...do you have pajama's Lake? oh it doesnt matter...go with Maddie and she can give you some...I'll get your potion ready then us go into Michael's room"

"I'll take Ronan and Shawn home."Cory said

 

Lake nodded slowly and pulled herself off of the sofa, her legs shook under her weight slightly.

 

"Maddie helped her upstairs

Cory headed back outside with his two cousins in tow

 

She hiccuped quietly and wiped her face. After a moment she looked at the mess of make up on her hand with disgust and looked away and to the floor.

 

Maddie dissappeared into her room,then came back with a grey jumper like top and baggy bottoms."Its kinda cold at night so sometimes Mickey gives Immy and me stuff he's out grew...these should keep you warm...come on...lets get your face cleaned up."Maddie said,

"Michael get some covers and pillows from the closet.."Lyra said going into the kitchen


Im being full named...that means Im in trouble... he thought rolling his eyes

 

Lake took the clothes from her silently and nodded.

Casey sighed and followed after Lyra, she's was mad and he knew it. But hopefully he could defuse the situation before she blew up at one of the kids.

 

"I'll go give Mickey's room a quick clean then go get your potion while you got get changed and stuff"she smiled weakly at Lake,then headed into her twins room

Lyra bent down to look in a cabinet under the sink,where she kept most of the sleeping potions...when her children had been younger,they had been higher up...now she could trust them not to knock themselves out with one....she hoped.


"Thanks for the lift Cory"Shawn sighed as he got out,he walked into the house"Im back."


Your back....and not all over the place? did you drink tea?"Sophie giggled

 

Lake headed into the bathroom and closed the door. Slowly she changed into her 'pyjamas', it was strange that even though these hadn't been Mickey's clothes for such a long time yet she could smell him in the cotton.

"You all right there Ly?" Casey asked, leaning against the kitchen counter.

 

Maddie came back out,leaving the light on for Lake


"Mmmmh-hm."she said absentmindedly

"Something wrong?"Alex asked

"Not with me"

 

At the same time Maddie left Mickey's room Lake left the bathroom, the hood pulled up over her now matted curls and a damp tissue in her hand that she was using to wipe what little make up was now left on her face.

"You sure?" Casey continued.

"With who then?" Nate asked, looking back at his brother over the back of the sofa.

 

"Yep."

"Wait here...Ill go get your potion.."she said hirrying down stairs

"Lake."

"What happened to her?"

"Well...she was outside alone...I dont know what happened really...only what I heard from Mickey....he went mental....anyways some guy tried to...you know...do stuff with her...of course she called for Mickey and he came rushin' out and without even seeming to think about it...he changed into a werewolf...and now everyone he knows....knows what he is..>"Shawn said."and this is the guy who's 'just her friend'"

 

"Sure you're sure?" He asked once again.

"Okay..." Lake mumbled as she stepped into Mickey's room. As she waited for someone else to arrive she looked around the room, resisting the urge to poke around and find out more about the blonde she was so unknowingly infatuated with.

"Just friends my pale white arse!" Nate laughed loudly, earning a smack around the head from his eldest sister whom was sat beside him.

 

"is he too old to be grounded?"Lyra asked,ignoring the first question,handing Maddie Lake's potion

"Lake?"She saidhold out the potion to her"I can sit with you untill you fall asleep if you want."

shawn grinned

"Is she ok?....Bet Michael's not very happy....or Lyra and Casey for that matter."

"Oh...Mike's seriously P'd off dad...like never before...p'd off...he completely blanked Jazmin when she tried to talk to him...it was rather funny...it was just a 'not now....Lake has to get home...we can talk tomorrow' Shawn saidn laughing,doing a poor immation of his cousin's voice

 

"I don't think he'd pay much attention to it and he'd just through a wobbely." Casey sighed.

Lake shook her head and gave a shuddering sigh. "Wh-Where's M-Mickey...?" She asked quietly.

"Things are going to get a lot worse very quickly..." Jamei said in her usual enigmatic monotone.

 

"Down stairs...want me to get him?"

she sighed


"What do you mean? a lot worse very quickly?"Shawn said

 

After a moment a small red blush went across her face and she nodded. "Please...?" She replied weakly.

"I think we shouldn't tidy up after him this time, that could be his punishment." Casey said thoughtfully. "Showing what being an adult really is."


"Events have been triggered tonight, there's no stopping them." Jamei continued, her white eyes flickering as though she was seeing something that wasn't there.

 

"sure"she said,smiling,she hurried back down stairs"Lake wants you."she said to her brother

He headed up stairs

she nodded"yes...that will do nicely"


"what kind of events?"he asked

 

Lake sat down on the floor, hugging her knees close to her. She was fighting back more tears, but at least now her make up wouldn't run. However, the price for that was Mickey seeing her without make up; seeing every little imperfection.

"Good." Casey nodded. "But if he gets it too bad I say we step in, like if it starts effecting others badly too."


Jamei's posture dropped and her eyes shut. Then in a quieter tone she replied: "I'm not certain as of yet..."

 

"Lake?"

she nodded


well that cant be good."

 

Shyly Lake looked over at him and smiled weakly. She managed to keep this smile for a few seconds, only for her to collapse back into a sobbing mess straight after.

"You think Lake's going to be okay...?" Casey asked after a moment, he'd grown attached to Lake. She was like another daughter to him.

"It's not..." Jamei sighed.
