"Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel." -Michael Morpurgo.


"This Girl is a thief. Under the employ of the dangerous Madam Larisa. And as the Official of the Ministry of Magic of Greece, she will be taken into Ministry Custody." The Greeks informed pointing their wands at Kassandra.

Kassandra stayed behind Ethan. She was shivering. "So it takes many Aurors to capture a 10 year old thief?" Ethan asked. "Surely there are other crimes you have to attend to gentlemen."

"We have no quarrel with you, English." The Head Auror informed. "This Girl is wanted for several crimes against the Greek Wizarding World. Including what she has stolen."

"And what has she stolen specifically? Candy?" Jae asked. "Big deal... I've seen plenty of more dangerous criminals in Knockturn alley." He told them.

"And that includes Slayton." Lizzie added.

"She stole a very valuable, priceless, heirloom of Greek heritage. The Vase of the Gods." The Auror answered. He then used the Accio spell to bring Kassie towards him.

"Hey!" Ethan yelled.

"Stay out of this, English! This is an internal Greek affair." The Auror warned.

That was when Jacob came back. "Hey guys! I got the Portkey!" He yelled, but he stopped when he saw a group of Aurors with Kassandra around them.

"Jacob! Help me!" Kassandra yelled.

Jacob walked up to the Greeks. "What's going on here?" He demanded.

"It's called an arrest." The Auror answered.

"On Kassandra?" Jacob asked confused.

"On this thief." The Auror corrected. "And now..." He took out a vase that was covered in Greek carvings. "This Vase was stolen when we received a tip that the thief here had taken this to the Mansion of Mistress Larisa. While the Mistress did flee, we have her little delinquent who stole it. Along with other treasures and artifacts. Drachmae, Orichalcum artifacts. And several other items."

"Ethan! Please! I never meant to steal the vase. But the Mistress! She makes me!" Kassandra begged.

"It's okay, Kassie. I believe you." Ethan assured. "We have no quarrel with the Greek Ministry either. But if you put another hand on Kassie, we're going to have issues." He warned pointing his wand. "And listen. I just escaped a crazy Labyrinth, and fought a freaking Minotaur, along with living skeletons. So I am not in the mood to have issues." He added.

The Greek Aurors looked confused. "You fought the Minotaur?" One asked.

"Yeah. I mean we all did, but for the most part, it was a 1v1." Ethan answered.

The Aurors all looked at Ethan with admiration. "Apologies, sir. But our orders stand." The Head Auror informed.

"Woah, hold on a second-" Ethan started to say, but Orion held him back.

"Does she really have to go?" Orion asked the Aurors.

"She does." The Greek Auror answered. They started to take Kassandra away. And Ethan could see that Kassandra was starting to get tears in her eyes.

"Are you taking her to an orphanage or something?" Tonks asked.

"No. We're taking her to jail." The Auror answered.
