"Athora, I just want to thank you for helping me learn more about my family." I said shaking her hand.
"No problem dear. I just hope you come round more. I would love to speak with you again." She said wiping her almost dry tears away.
"Of course." I smiled. I debated whether I should say my goodbye to Ralph. He didn't really seem in the mood for conversation. He just sat there at the table staring with a blank expression. He made this whole experience uncomfortable; and I realise he had all the reason.
Harry stood outside along with Peter. The fear of the unknown controlled my thoughts. Not knowing what was to come irritated me. All these questions ran through my mind causing me to feel lightheaded. My heart picked up pace as adrenaline coursed through my body. Just like at the lake, I could feel the energy flowing through my veins. I started to panic, not wanting to cause any harm to this shop. I tried to calm myself as I raced toward the door. Right before I could reach it, Eric stepped out of the corridor startling me. I gasped and let a ball of purple light toward Eric.
"Eric watch out!" I shouted.
He caught it without touching it. It floated between his hands. He studied it carefully before crushing it, into thin air. "You're going to have to learn how to control that..."
"I'm sorry." I said.
"Luckily for you, I can teach you." He smiled. "Your magic skills are about as good as mine... When I was just a babe." He laughed.
I blushed. "I know... I'm just not quite used to it yet."
"I can help you get used to it. I can teach you everything I know. And soon you will be better than me." He said with a small smile.
"Is everything alright in here?" Athora asked. "I heard you shout."
"We're fine Nan." Eric said.
"Oh alright." She smiled. She turned around back between the curtain.
"Nan wait!" Eric called. "Elle could use some help with her magic and I was just wondering if you had anything that could help her control her defense mechanism."
"Oh yes! Child if you would like to stay for a while I can teach you. I suspect it wouldn't be a challenge considering you are the most powerful one." She smiled.
"Would you like to stay Elle?" He asked.
I looked from Eric to Athora. "I'm sure a while longer wouldn't hurt." I smiled. "But if you'll excuse me, I have to let the boys know."
"Whenever you're ready." Athora said.
Knowing Harry was not in the mood to talk, I made my way out there anyway hoping his hostility had died down. When I walked through the door Harry stood next to Luna petting down her back whilst Peter leaned against the wall shuffling a few cards. Harry wouldn't be interested in what I had to say so I spoke mainly towards Peter. "I'm going to stay for a little while longer. But you guys can go ahead and look through the market or head back to the cottage. I'll meet you there."
Harry ignored me still petting Luna. I noticed him clench his jaw and look at me through peripheral vision.
"Will you be okay?" Peter asked.
"Yeah, they're just going to teach me a few things. I'll be fine." I smiled softly.
"So basically you want us gone so you can have more secrets to hide." Harry said turning around.
"No." I replied calmly. I wanted to avoid fighting. I had no energy for it. "That's not it at all. They want to teach me how to control my magic so I don't hurt anyone."
"You hurt people with more than just your magic.." He mumbled.
I looked at him with sympathetic eyes, but my anger and irritation grew. "They were right it was a mistake bringing you along. It should've been just me.."
Without a glance back, I stormed back inside.
