"Ahh, well..." he replied, leaning back and looking up at Professor Morgan. "My family... My parents never got married, and my dad left when I was 3 weeks old. My mother told me it was because they couldn't afford for us all to be together, but I seldom believe anything she tells me these days," Jake added, as though that didn't really matter to him anymore. "I lived with my mum until just before I came to Hogwarts last year. Then I left there and tried to find my dad, and I did," Jake stopped here, to think for a moment. Everything had been so hurried that summer.
"My dad has another son, Dale. He's six years old and his mother died when he was born. Then it turns out my dad got married, and my step-sister is Reese Upstead... she was a Northway, though. She's a fifth-year Slytherin. And I have another step-brother, Ryan... he's about 18."
And now onto the hair fiasco.
"Dale got hold of my wand, turned my hair pink," Jake explained, tugging at a lock of his hair. "Then Ryan, instead of telling my dad, found a potion he thought might fix it... but it didn't work. Ryan is a squib, so he couldn't fix it... Anyway, my dad had to literally drag me into St. Mungo's and I was kicking and screeeeaming," Jake smiled at the memory, where all the female healers were bribing him with sweets and his dad didn't know whether to stop them or not. "And I'm stuck like this for two years." Iliana listened as Jake recounted his past. She wondered silently if this was why she felt so protective of him; why she mothered him so. He'd had it so rough throughout the years and now, when things had finally started to find some semblance of normalcy, he father remarries and he's gained a whole new family. She couldn't tell if it pleased him or not. There wasn't any indication on his face or in his statement. She just prayed that he was happy. "I know Reese. She's a wonderful girl." She said with a smile.
She held back a giggle as Jake explained about his hair. She raised an eyebrow at the 'kicking and screaming' comment. That was something she'd experienced first hand. At the thought, her leg twinged just a bit as if reliving the memory with her.
"You know Jake, it's not that bad." She said, smiling again. "The color suits you." Leave it to a brother though. She remembered the countless times Alain had tried magic on her. "Oh dear, wands and brothers." She said, shaking her head. "Mine once tried to plait my hair with his in order to surprise our mother..." She rolled her eyes. "Let's just say, she was surprised. VERY surprised." Quote:

The grounds, especially the gardens she'd found, were especially good for moments when one just wanted to get away from it all and think things through. Lost in thought, Anna stared at the ground as she walked, stopping only when she was aware she'd come across a building just up ahead. When she stopped, she glanced up and took in the sight of Professor Morgan's hut. Professor Morgan had always been a nice lady to talk to. She was pretty...and kind...and all the things Anna only hoped to be when she got a little older. Maybe, just maybe...oh, no, she couldn't!
Suddenly frightened at the thought of having an adult-to-adult conversation with a professor, Anna turned and headed back to the castle. As soon as she arrived at the doors, though, she thought better of her decision and turned right back around. No, no, nooo. If she was going to be an adult in two short weeks, then she was going to have to start acting like one. That included facing fears and speaking to other adults about adult issues---like engagements and marriage ceremonies. Gulp.
When Anna approached the hut, she heard voices inside, and suddenly, her old fears came rushing back. She couldn't talk to the professor in front of another student---a boy, no less! Turning on her heels, Anna walked back to the castle once again. As she walked, she had time to realize how foolish she was being. Number one, she was pacing the grounds like a complete loon, and number two, she was, once again, refusing to act like the adult she was about to become. With determination, she turned again and headed back to the hut. This time, when she got there, she walked right up to the door and knocked a few times. Hearing a knock at the door, Professor Morgan excused herself from the others and hurried over to answer it. "Miss Greingoth, hello. Won't you come in?" She said, turning around to offer her a seat. "How was your summer, dear?" Quote:

She would have just burst through the door, but she heard voices, and decided to knock instead. She knocked five times, and stood there, rather impatiently, waiting for the go ahead. Iliana's face lit up. She would know that knock anywhere. "Get in here, Simone." She said, grabbing her hand and practically pulling her through the door. "There are some people here I want you to meet."
