Gryffindor Common Room

[Professor Tahiri]

William Radcliffe

Will walked down to the common room, yawning slightly. He still hadn't heard anything from his father yet, and then scratched his head. He saw Lucy on the couch crying and was about go over to her when he heard her say "Pan!". Smiling widely, he ran over to her and Pan. "He's back?!?"  

[NarwhalTears]

Indala opened the door to her room and headed
down the stairs toward the common room,
half stooped over trying to put her left shoe on.
She heard the familiar voice of Lucy squeal with joy, "Pan!"

Her heart gave a leap and she ran the rest of the way down the stairs.
As they opened on the common room she saw both Will and Lucy.
Indala ran over to both of them.
"Hey! Pan's back!" she exclaimed happy that Lucy had found her other half.
She smiled, " I wonder where he ran off too?"

She bent down and pulled the back of her shoe over her left heel and tapped the toe of her left foot on the floor.

Will heard Indala and turned his head to smile at her. Then he went over and put his arm around her, kissing her on the head. "Looks like today is going to be a good day, huh?" he said, a slight smile gracing his face. If only Tammy shows up, he added to himself.  

[Professor Tahiri]

Arthur Radcliffe
Head Auror

The passage to the hallway creaked open and an older man with blond hair stepped through. He looked frazzled and tired, like he'd recently been involved in a fight. This man was Arthur, King of the Britons, for this was England! Head Auror at the Ministry and father to Tamara and William Radcliffe. He looked around, then spotted Will and the girl, Indala, was her name. He also saw Lucy with them. Well, her status has been declassified. He started over to them, remembering all the times he spent in this magnificent room. He pushed his memories down. "Will, Lucy, Indala. I have news. Tamara is safe now."  

[Professor Tahiri]

William Radcliffe

Will's head shot up when he heard his father's voice and his grew wide. His father looked like hell. What happened to him he started to wonder, then his father said he had news. At first, Will thought it was going to be bad news, but then his father said Tamara was safe. Will felt his legs go weak and his heart leapt into his throat. Temporarily forgetting about Indala, he ran over to his father and wrapped him in a hug. "Thank God you saved her."  

[NarwhalTears]

Indala smiled as Will embraced her and landed a kiss on her head.
"Well, good morning to you too" she said happily.
" It does seem it will be a better day than yesterday."

Shortly after that Arthur, Will and Tamara's father appeared in the common room.
When he said he had news she felt herself as well as Will tense up, bracing for the worst, and then it was over.
Tamara was safe, he had managed to save her. He looked like hell for it...
"Oh thank goodness," she breathed relaxing as Will rushed and hugged Arthur.

Arthur Radcliffe
Head Auror

Arthur smiled when hugged him and gave him a warm hug back, then smiled to Indala. "Actually, I didn't. She saved me, as it were. I found her dueling him by the Willow and well, we fought. He tried to cast the killing curse on me. Out of nowhere, Tammy sent this powerful blast of magic at him and stopped him." He ruffled William's hair and smiled to Indala. "She made me very proud. As have you Will."  

[Professor Tahiri]

William Radcliffe

Will smiled and felt tears come to his eyes when he told them that Tamara saved their father. Then a thought occurred to him. "Did... did you catch him? Is he going back to Azkaban?"  

[NarwhalTears]

Indala gaped in awe as Arthur explained how Tammy had saved him.
" She's really something else," she said more to herself than to her company.
She looked up and moved closer to Arthur and Will, a serious look in her eye.
"I'm relieved to find that you and Tamara are both well."

She smiled with genuine happiness at both Arthur and Will.

 

[Professor Tahiri]

Arthur Radcliffe
Head Auror

Smiling, Arthur looked to Indala. "Thank you. And I see you're doing well too. I'm glad to have another chance to talk to." He looked over to Will, who was now looking at Indala. He chuckled, smiling wider. "But I foresee that I'll get many opportunities in the future." When Will asked if they caught him, his smile dropped a little. "Um, no. Well, more like there's no point now. Tammy kinda... Well, Tamara kind of killed him." He looked out the window for a second. "Well, either she did or the Willow did. Either way, he won't be causing any more trouble. Ever."  

[NarwhalTears]

She smiled brightly glad to have another chance to redeem herself with Arthur.

I hope that there will be many opportunities, she smiled at Will as Arthur continued speaking.

Indala grinned maliciously upon finding out that Travers had been killed.
" I hope he rots in Hell for what he has done."

s**t that was a bit overkill for this crowd Eve, way to go.
Why must you always screw up in front of Arthur? She sighed a slight blush upon her cheeks.

"S-sorry...about that..." she looked down at her feet.
I just hate seeing people I care about suffer...

 

[Professor Tahiri]

William Radcliffe

Will's eyes opened widely and he stared at Indala, his mouth slightly agape. Where they hell did that come from?!? He felt kind of like chuckling, but wasn't sure how his father would react.  

[Professor Tahiri]

Arthur Radcliffe
Head Auror

Arthur raised his hand. "No need to apologize, young Indala. I fully agree with you. When I recovered her, Tamara's condition was critical. She was... badly injured. But we received word via floo that she was stabilized and is recovering now. I do hope that Satan takes it upon himself to torture that man." He gave a nervous chuckle. "I forget myself sometimes."  

[NarwhalTears]

Indala grimaced trying her best not to imagine the injuries that had been inflicted upon Tammy.

Slowly she looked back up at the weary man standing before her,
and let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding.

He understands....

She smiled slightly and tried to clear the air, " It happens to the best of us."

William Radcliffe

Will sighed and dropped his head, shaking it slightly at the two of them. At least Dad likes her. I hope Mum will too. He looked up from his thoughts. "Can I see her Dad?" he asked, slipping his arm around Indala's waist.
