Eleazar's pov

Abigail watched me pace back and forth in the living room. I had a baby in each arm, bouncing them gently as I paced. Abby had offered to hold one but I had just shook my head and kept walking.

Anne ran through the door out of breath but stopped when she saw the second baby. "Uh.. that's not how anything work," she mumbled.

"She's the one I was wondering if you are able to do a memory charm and see who her parents are,"

Anne narrowed her eyes, "you said a kid! I thought you meant a walking talking kid. I'm still learning about my magic I've only successfully done the spell on adults,"

I handed Cordelia to Abby and walked up to Anne with the baby. "Annie I need you to try this, if her parents are strong enough to get through my barrier I had up,"

"Like that's hard," she added.

"...if they are strong enough maybe they can help with Evelin,"

My sister sighed and rolled her eyes. "Fine," she mumbled and looked at the baby. "Hi," she said sweetly.

She gently place a finger on each side of the babies temple and her eyes started to glow blue as she closed them and began to concentrate.

Ava's pov

I walked along the outside of the miasma slowly. The little tendrils dancing around from the way my dress moved as I walked. I looked down at the skirt wishing I had worn pants.

Sebastian and I had decided to split up because it would be faster. I would shoo away any animals that got too close to the gas. The authors have already blocked the area off for wizards but you can't really stop animals.

"You know A lot about my father,"

I spun around aiming my wand at Eve who did the same. She made an 'ahh' sound and smiled as if this was a game and I had just found her.

We slowly began to circle each other as we locked eyes. "I do," I admitted, "I helped kill him,"

"How? I thought that glasses kid did everything,"

"May have told Albus where all the Horcruxes were,"

She looked at me impressed, "I wonder who did that in my world,"

"Let me send you somewhere." I spoke over her, "Where the man you love is still alive, and you can leave us alone,"

I saw something in her falter for a moment. But then the grip on her wand tightened, "like that could happen,"

I gestured around us and looked at her like she was crazy, "you are in a different universe,"

"Shut up!" I moved my head to the side slightly as a spell she casted shot past it. "You made him weak!"

"I've heard,"

"You'll never be what he really wants,"

"Heard that too," I threw my hands up.

Eve stomped in a childish way and groaned. "I tried to have a conversation with you!" I rolled my eyes and casted the firework spell into the air making the red light shoot up.

Evelin groaned again and aparated away just as the boys got to me with their wands ready. My brothers looked around frantically but I waved them off as Sebastian picked up each of my arms checking me over.
