Family Bonds

London. The winds blew gently caressing against the trees that lay about through out the large family estate. An estate in which recently was bought out by an American family. A large garden lay to the east side of the mansion in which an herb green house was built. In the back of the mansion was a small lake that held a steady and reliable dock. To the west side of the mansion, a dirt trail lead into the near by woods that surrounded the estate and the lake. There at least close to one hundred yards away laid a walk way from the front entrance to the mansion. Since moving to London’s magical area they had become one of London’s wealthiest wizard families. Though the house mansion held nearly fifty rooms, an attic and a dungeon the family itself was large in size.

“Mama, why did we move?” Asked a young four year old girl.

The girl was sitting upon the cool smooth stone floor of the kitchen. Her dark brown hair was put up into two little pig tails that hung over her ears. Soft brown eyes sparkled with curiosity. Soft peach skin was covered in a little coverall denim dress and pastel colored flower shirt. White sandals and frilly white socks donned on her little feat.

The woman at the stove smiled as she stirred the stew in the large pot, her name was Amy.

“Well Leaha, mommy’s work needed her to transfer here for the Ministry of Magic,” she replied.

She looked down at her daughter with a warm smile making the girl giggle. She remembered that day when they had explained that a war was brewing in London and she was needed over there instead of here in the states.

She ran a slim hand through her short brown hair, glasses donned in front of dark brown eyes. She wore more casual muggle artier a dark red long sleeve shirt and blue denim jeans with white tennis-shoes.

Though she was thrilled to be moving to a new place with all of her children. She was just concerned for her family, especially the secret in which they held. She was older then she looked and her husband even more older then he appeared. She wasn’t ashamed of the secret just feared for her families safety, for if anyone would to find out, her thoughts ended she didn’t want to think about what might happen.

Shouting and play full screams were heard through the opened back door before two boys dashed inside and skidding across the floor. She sighed as two boys one with fiery red hair and another with icy blue hair picked up Leaha and held her in front of their bodies grinning like crazed people.

“Ha! If you want us Serenity . . .”

“Then you’ll have to go . . .”

“Through her first!” They both said in union as an older girl walked up to them rolling her sleeve up her tanned arm glaring daggers of hate at the two.

Leaha was laughing now at the sight before and behind her.

“Oh I don’t need to go through her to get to you two bird brains!” The girl growled at them. But she stopped quickly when Leaha’s face began to pout sadly. “Mom tell Fire and Ice to put her down and face their fate.”

Amy sighed to herself, but even before she could say another word, a young teenager walked into the large kitchenette. Fire and Ice had set down Leaha while Serenity settled down quickly.

The boy was thin almost as if he never ate, his skin was white like milk or even fresh fallen snow. His hair shone silver like the moons light, but his eyes were as black as night, blacker then even coal. A scar portrayed itself across his right eye. No emotions showed through those depths no emotion was seen in his motions. He was an empty shell.

“Lucas, are you hungry sweetie?” Amy asked as she sat beside him at the table. He shook his head no before placing it on the table. The four had left quietly as they could leaving Amy and Lucas alone.

“You know Lucas that you, Serenity, Angel, Sin, Nis, Fire, Ice, and Sara will be starting school again.”

“I know mom . . .”

“Honey I want you to get yourself a new wand and some new robes.”

Lucas didn’t even twitch at the mention of a new wand. Oh he remembered what had happened to his older one. Yet he didn’t want to remember it, he never wants to remember it, but he had no choice in the matter.

Footsteps were heard and Amy raised her head looking up at a tall man. Tanned skin and dark blue eyes. Black hair that was pulled into a shoulder length pony-tail, his built was one of an athlete. A white tight shirt and tight jeans portrayed that he worked out.

“Amy can I talk to you please?” The man asked his voice low and deep but held a gentleness to his tone.

Amy gave Lucas a kiss on his head smiling and left the room.

“Amy. I talked to the headmaster at Hogwarts today. I told him about Lucas’s . . . condition. He’s making arrangements with the potion professor for his need.”

“Thank you Sate.”

Sate wrapped his arms about Amy’s shoulders hugging her against his chest.

“Love, he’ll be fine don’t worry,” Sate said tipping her face up to his kissing her lips.

She smiled and nodded, before placing her face against her husband’s chest. She sighed and smiled closing her eyes.

“What?” He asked looking down at the top of her head.

“Araca and Feral are going into town tomorrow to look for jobs.”

Sate blinked then laughed loudly at his wife’s words.

“I feel sorry for them. Taking all ten of our children with them, may our gods have mercy on their souls.
