Regulus had warned Elizabeth about his bedridden sister, and so she stormed off to the second manor on the ends of the property with a plan on her shoulders.

She was prepared in pulling her friend out by the hair and straight into the bathroom for a bath.

But all that stopped when she caught the sight of Aurora, it was close to nine and she knew her friend all to well that she wouldn't sleep in on the weekday.

Putting a hand to her forehead did she grimace that Aurora could actually have caught something, and so she whipped out her wand and ran a full diagnostic, a gasp had signified that she uncovered the truth.

But even then had Aurora slept fitfully, and no part of Elizabeth would wake a pregnant witch. Not when waking meant spending the morning in the bathroom, instead she prepared a special tea, one that she was recommended when she was pregnant with Paige.

It was a beautiful light grin that rose on Aurora's face when she smelled the awful brew. "Raba?" She whispered out, and Liz could only feel her chest tighten as she shook her head.

There would be no good in letting her live this imagination.

"No honey, thought you could use some tea." Aurora popped her eye open but then snapped it shut, even going as far as scrunching her face together.

"What time is it?"
"Almost ten." She hummed and cuddled further into her pillow, but then Liz watched her inhale rather deeply.

And it hit her Rory faster than the Hogwarts Express.

"Liz I swear I didn't—I didn't know." She cried, and the standing witch sat down beside her friend. Her first school friend. But there wasn't a moment of hesitation where she gave Rory comfort.

"It's alright, it's alright. Breathe with me Rory. Don't let this turn negative, another child...Think Rory, it's him...Right?" Elizabeth allowed her words to linger in her friend, she was empathetic to the situation.

She had to be or else Regulus would've come to America with no one by his side.

But it wasn't simply about taking in Rory's family, Liz didn't get a wink of sleep when she and the kids arrived. If John had been arrested for something so dark and twisted, having been missing the majority of the year?
