Chapter 16
"My Clan could go look for them but we need a place to send them to keep them safe".
"They can move through muggle cities without drawing to much attention?" I ask doubtfully.
"We are Veela we always draw attention".
"Cru, Ingrid and I lived with non magicals for many years we understand and can move around cities without drawing to much attention and Emma use to be a bounty hunter" Ursula says calmly "If you can point us in the right direction we can go from there".
I nod looking at her as Emma nods holding a pen and pocket notebook "what can you tell me?"
I bite my lip sighing "Monica and Wendell Wilkins in Sydney Australia, they're dentists".
Emma nods writing it down "That will make it easier to find them I'll go and take Cruella and Ingrid with me, in case we need to influence them into coming with us I'd rather not have to be aggressive doing it".
"We'll get a flight back and bring them here" she adds working on getting tickets "how does that work here?" I ask.
"Oh I found a way to feed my magic in it to work like outside here" Emma says laughing.
"We may have to send them to Storybook after for safety because your old friends messed up by trying to kill you that makes it personal and we plan to get revenge".
"I'll explain everything to them about magic and what's happened here" Emma says standing up "we need to move fast and stay ahead of them so we leave tomorrow morning".
Seeing everyone nod I look at the group leaving "Thank you for doing this".
"They're your family and important to you so they're our family too and we protect our family" Ingrid says smiling.
I nod feeling a weight lifted off my shoulders, standing up I grab Fleur's arm "Ursula could I speak with you before you and Cora go off beating on each other again please?"
She nods following me to the library "What's the problem?" She asks.
"Not really a problem I was wondering if your dating anyone" I say while keeping a hold of Fleur.
"No, I'm not with anyone right now why?" She asks confused.
"Veela know their mates the moment they look in their eyes" I say nodding to Fleur "when you both made eye contact her Veela identified you as her mate".
Ursula frowns looking at Fleur "Why are you restraining her?"
I laugh slightly "I'm not, she's letting me, I promised to introduce her to you but, she had to stay in control it gets harder the longer it takes I'm keeping a hold of her to remind her to focus".
Ursula nods "I'm guessing if rejected by her mate it's painful?"
"Could turn deadly" I answer nervously.
"Okay, I don't jump into relationships, I will get to know her and we can go from there will that work?"
Fleur nods as I let go seeing Ursula hold her hand out to her "come on beautiful".
I watch Fleur takes her hand following her "What's a Veela?" Ursula asks smiling at her.
Turning I leave the room quietly closing the doors behind me making my way back to the group "Library's off limits for a while" I say calmly.
"Why is my library off limits?" Narcissa demands looking upset.
"If you want to Interrupt a Veela and their mate talking and getting to know each other go a head".
Narcissa shakes her head "No, I'm fine plenty of books in the other library".
I sigh watching everyone move around planning when Lily comes up putting her arm around my shoulders "come on".
Following her outside she sits down under a tree "What's wrong? you been a little unsure since we mentioned Revenge".
"I feel angry at them and betrayed like I want to hurt them all but, I feel bad about feeling that way because they were my friends at one point" I say softly.
"That's normal your dragon's awake now and remembers everything someone's done that hurts or upsets you, you're resisting your natural temperament based on what you had before, dragons by nature are trouble makers in their own unique ways, for Emma she charges in head first impulsively. I destroy anything and everything I view as a challenge or threat, I'm sure if you think about it you've caused trouble in your own ways".
"I set Snape's robes of fire, made a potion accidentally turning myself into a human cat, and kept a woman prisoner in a glass jar over summer".
"What lead up those events? where you feeling anything specific?"
"With Snape I was annoyed, the potion Harry and Ron thought I was helping them but I wanted to prove I could make it, and with the woman I was angry".
"That's your dragon temper when it comes down to it nothing's ever simple, it's not good and evil or black and white it's shades of gray, you have to pick if you can live with your actions, sometimes you have to turn your back on people, pick your own path even if it's against people you care about or even who care about you, if you want us to back off and let these people go we will, if you want to walk away from this fight we will follow you out but, can you live with the knowledge of you're actions" Lily says calmly, she stands up looking at me "all that matters is you can live with your choices so think about it".
