She couldn't sit down. No. So she just stood there. "Wow. This is stupid!" she said sitting down finally. But she got up immediatley. She couldn't sit. No way. She began pacing again. It helped.

Harvey looked at Minnie "So thats it?!!you are now going to live in fear??!!.. the strong Minerva.. who never feared anybody.. not even someone she trusted is now going to go back on the run.. Well done Mins well done.. you HAVE changed.. you have. IF you still ARE the Minnie I knew.. you would not fear him..you will trust us... your friends and their family" he said to her as he looked at her.. there was Chaos, Vinnie and Kyle.. and he was sure they could DO something to keep them safe.

Kyle blushed. "I'm just doing what's right." She nodded. "I do know him. His name is Edward. Former Slytherin, so I know all he wants is money and power. And I also know he is the only wizard. He is very independent when it comes to tormenting people." She saw it first hand. Kyle heard her little sister leave and looked over to the youngsters. "No need to go after her. Now Minerva, You haven't ruined a party." She smiled. Well, she hadn't. "Go to Kings Cross. You are safer at Hogwarts. If you want, I personally will take you there at the VERY last minute. That way he can't cause any harm to anyone." Except Kyle herself. But of course, Kyle knew she was strong enough to take that coward.

Gosh. How could Harvey do that?! He was so good with words, it was crazy. All she could do was say she'd kill people. That wasn't anything compared to what Harvey said.

This was really getting out of hand. "Ronnie let's change the subject. Let's get back to the party." Just then Harvey started telling her she changed and she was different. Tears started coming she couldn't stop them. She got up and slapped him. "How dare you Harvey Watson, How dare you. You didn't live in the locked room for weeks scared of what they are going to do next. You didn't have to live with being watched so you couldn't leave. You didn't have to hide away, change your hair." She grabbed her blonde hair to show proof. "You didn't have to hide wondering when they would find you and put you back in that room. You don't have to live with nightmares every night that when you wake up you are not waking up to your friends you are waking up to them. You don't have nightmares of them taking your friends and family and doing the same things to them they did to you." She was furious with him and getting louder and louder. "How dare you.... Have I changed, YES.. I am terrified that I will be forced away from my life again or worse my family or even you will be taken because of me."

Victoria listened as Kyle talked about Edward. "Well I know my girl is safe with you, but if she wants to go then I will let her." Just them the kids were getting louder. She looked at Kyle and Vinnie to see if they should interject. She never like to fight her daughters fights, but this was a serious matter that 12 year old children should not have to be dealing with. Her heart ached that her daughter had been through so much. Kyle then told Minerva she should go to Hogwarts. "Min I agree with Kyle you will be safer and have more fun with your friends. Honey, I have charms around your dad and Jacob they will never find them. The wizard is looking for yo the muggles are looking for the rest of us. I can handle them."

Minerva was so angry at Harvey that she didn't really hear her mother talking Without looking at her she said, mom I could help you with those charms, what if Edward starts coming after you. He will know the charms."

Ronnie tried not to giggle as Harvey got slapped. He deserved it. Really...but she didn't laugh. She didn't even smile. "Y-your right. We should change the subject...I...I'm gonna get something to...drink." she said walking off. Hopefully the rumor about no boys at Beaxbatons was right. She didn't wanna deal with them anymore. Unless they were Jordan. As she drank, she wanted to leave. Right now. She hated this. She didn't want to deal with anyone having problems anymore. It was really stupid. Maybe leaving would be a good thing. For the first time, she could not wait to go to Beaxbatons.

Harvey knew he had gone too far when she slapped him and screamed at him with all that she had been through.. this Minnie hurt him more than anything he had been through before.. he hung his head.. he knew he had gone too far.. she was right he didnt know what all that felt like.. he looked her he was defeated she WAS stronger than him... he was wrong.. he sat down in a chair.. defeated "You are right.. I dont know what all that feels like.. you have defeated me Minerva Wheatborn.. you have defeated me.. I am sorry.. I shouldnt have said that to you.. I am sorry.." he said not looking at her... he couldnt not after what he had just said.. how could he.. he was ashamed he had just made his girlfriend slap him .. he had NEVER dreamed that it would happen.. but here it had happened.. slowly he touched the cheek that she had slapped it still felt tender .. he still didnt look up...

Minerva just looked at Harvey is he really going to walk away and think I am going to back down Minerva thought. She just shook her head and looked at Ronnie tears still streaming down her face. "Ronnie I think I need something to drink as well."

"MINERVA WHEATBORN you do not hit anyone. I can not believe you had done that to him." Victoria had enough. "Minerva you are not going back with me you will be going back with them. You are needed here not with us. I need to know you are safe if I could send Jacob to Hogwarts I would, but he isn't old enough yet and we do not know if he will be a wizard yet. I do not want to hear another word."

Minerva looked at her mother angered.. "Fine, Kyle I will go with your to King Crossing. I will go to Hogwarts is everyone happy now." She took a diet coke and opened it to have a drink.

Yup. Boys really did not treat Minnie right. Ronnie was right. She sipped her drink, trying not to laugh as Harvey touched his cheek.

"Why do you have to be so mean?" a voice in Ronnie's head said.
"What?! It's funny! She slapped him!" Ronnie said (in her head) back.
"No, it's mean, Ronnie. You shouldn't laugh. Minnie slapped him because she was serious. She went through a lot, Ronnie..."
"You're right..." Ronnie thought with a sigh.
"You need to stop having mean thoughts about others, really Ronnie. Unless they're of Voldemort or Will of course."
Ronnie chuckled.

As he listened to Minnie finally agree to come to Kings Cross Station.. he knew she would only be happy going with her mom.. and he going with her then suddenly a thought came to Harvey that way he and Minnie would both be happy he stood up and addressed Minnie's mom "Mrs Wheat.... I mean Victoria.. You may take Minnie with you to America.. since she wants to go so bad.. I cannot deny her that much... but I have a condition..." he said looking at Minnie hoping that she was listening to this.. she could slap him a million times but that would not change his thinking.. he was staying with her and THAT WAS IT!!! she may have a choice in what SHE did but she had no choice in what HE did.. never!! he then looked back at Victoria "You are to take me with you... with your daughter...." he then looked at Minnie " to America or wherever it is you are going.. I have been in hiding for this long.. whats a few more days in hiding.. " he said looking at Minnie's mom.

Minerva listened to Harvey speak to her mother. "I'm not going.. I'm going to Kings Crossing I just said that to Kyle or did you not hear what I just said or are you deaf?" her anger was still in her. As she was wiping her tears she looked at Ronnie "Ronnie are you ok?" she looked like she was talking to herself, but Minnie wasn't sure..

Harvey looked at Minnie he need her to calm down and get rid of the anger inside her first before proceeding onwards.. and there was only one way.. to show her how much he loved her and cared for her.. but Ronnie was there.. he went up to Minnie and took her away from the table "Just come here for a minute before you throw a drink at me or something" he said this mostly for Ronnie's benefit so that she wouldnt get suspicious as to why he was taking her away from the table .. he held he shoulders and looked into her angry eyes.. and he hugged her.. just to whisper in her ear "Mins.. I cant see you like this.. you are hurting me more now than you would if you left me to go with your Mom." he closed his eyes to stop the tears from coming out.. he swallowed and breathed rapidly "Oh I Love You too much Minerva Wheatborn." he opened his eyes again "I just want to be with you.. who knows when we will get the chance to be together as a couple again.. once we get to school it will be almost impossible.. but I guess even now is impossible.. I just want to be with you.... My....... Sunshine.... my ....... Love." he whispered... he then let go of her.... and turned around to hide the tears that were now really threatening to make an appearance.. he closed his eyes to stop them from coming.. but he knew he couldnt stop them forever..

Minerva was drinking her pop when Harvey took her away and talked to her. Then hugged her. His touch melted the anger even though she stayed stiff not to show him. He looked at her again and then turned away. She took her hand and pulled his face back to look at her. "Harvey I want to leave to protect you, you know that right? I don't want you hurt. I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt, but you all win I'm staying." She couldn't handle looking into his hurt eyes without taking her eyes off of him she spoke "Ronnie, I am so sorry I hurt you at the party before. It should have never happened. I know we talked about it and I know you told me that it was ok if we got together. I know your still hurt by it and I am so sorry for that. I am so sorry for what I am about to say and if you hate me and don't want to be my friend anymore I understand, but I can't lie, I can't keep this from you. I love him, I love you Harvey." With that she pulled his chin towards her and kissed him.


Victoria watched all of this and her jaw dropped to hear her daughter tell someone she loved him. "Umm Minerva your 12 don't get ahead of yourself." but she knew her daughter wasn't listening. "Kyle I think she has made up her mind. I need to get back to my unprotected family I will let myself out. Thank you again for all you have done. Minerva love, I am leaving. Be good and I will owl you soon." She wasn't about to interrupt what was going on she would wait and then say her goodbyes.

Harvey was just calming himself down when he felt a hand pull his face back towards Minnie.. he saw that the hand was Minnie's he didnt look at her instead he looked down at his feet as he listened to what she said.. he smiled weakily when she said that she was staying and she then spoke to Ronnie but he could still feel her eyes on him.. he was then shocked and became wide-eyed.. she said that she loved him with Ronnie right THERE!!!!!!!! and suddenly she was pulling his face to face her and then she was kissing him as WELL!!!!! he then couldnt hold himself back.. his body melted into the kiss and he put his arms around her and kissed her back.. oh how he had wanted to do this for a long time.. Ronnie now knew.. well she WAS leaving... he was glad inside as he kissed her .. she WAS the Minnie he knew.. strong and yet soo loving.. he wanted to cry again.. but he didnt.. now was not the time.. not in front of everyone.. he then heard her mom speak to Minnie.. and he pulled away so that her mom could say her goodbyes....

As the kiss ended Victoria walked over to her daughter. "Young lady" She shook her head adolescents definitely was setting in she could see the roller coaster hormones starting already. "Young lady as I am glad you are staying and that you and your little boyfriend have made up I do not want this to get in the way of your studies." She looked at Harvey. "I think you are a nice boy, but don't let me catching you do more then this anytime soon. She is to be doing her study at school." She smiled and gave him a little hug and then hugged her daughter. She turned and went to Vinnie and Kyle "You two are amazing women and I am very very grateful for you to be in our lives. If I can ever repay you please let me know how. I owe you our safety and our lives and I will never be able to show you my appreciation. I will be apparating as soon as I am out of the cave."

Minerva hugged her mom tears filling her eyes. She didn't want to see her mom leave so soon. "Mom I love you. Please tell dad and Jacob I love them. Be safe." She watched her mom walk out. Once she was out she turned "Has Ame not come back in yet? I feel bad upsetting her." Then she turned to Ronnie to see if Ronnie hated her again.

Harvey watched as Minnie's mom spoke to her daughter hugging her and Minnie tearing up and sending her love to her father and brother.. and then Victoria turned to him.. he listened intently.. he then nodded "Yes ma'am.. I will make sure that she studies in school" he said looking at Minnie as her mom hugged him.. he then watched as Victoria said her goodbyes to everyone else.. and she left.. he then turned to Minnie who was concerned about Ame and then looked at Ronnie.. he then walked upto Minnie right behind her and held her shoulders from behind... everyone including Ronnie now knew.. no use hiding it now.. and he kissed her head.. he was with her now that her mom wasnt..

Minerva leaned into Harvey when she felt him take her shoulders. She looked up at him "Are you sure you can handle the changed me? I'm not to horrible for you?" she was still a little irritated at his comments.

Justin watched in horror as the whole party and those invovled came unraveled. Between Harvey flipping out on Minnie and her smacking him across the face.... He didn't know that Harvey had it in him to go off like that.
Then Ronnie announcing that she wasn't going back to Hogwarts this term caused a bit of a commotion. Ame transfigured and went howling out of the cave.... Why can't we ever have a normal low key party? Justin thought to himself.

" Oh. It was very nice to have you visit. I know how important it was for the both of you to see that the other is safe. Please, owl us as soon as you arrive where ever it is you are going. We all think of Minerva as amember of the family. We'll make sure she stays safe for you.
I'm very thankful that we were able to help her in any way, Victoria. " Said Vinnie as she smiled and hugged Victoria.

Harvey felt her lean into him as he held onto her shoulders and then he felt some eyes on him and looked to see Minnie look at him.. she then asked him two questions to which he smiled.. You have NOT changed AT ALL!! I was wrong to think you had.. but that slap proved me wrong.. you are still the strong and loving girl you were before.. the one that I fell in love with .. my Minnie.. my .. Sunshine.." he said as he felt like crying again.. she was not happy with what he had said and he knew it.. he could feel it. He still looked at her "I am sorry Mins.. I was so very wrong about you.. but in the future even if you DO change.. I will be able to handle you as I love you too much to let you go just because you have changed.. but dont worry you havent changed at all.. you are still the strong and loving Minnie from before.. who stood up for herself at school.." he said as he remembered her yelling at William.. he then wrapped his arms around from behind as he watched Ms Divinity say her goodbyes to Victoria.. he then whispered in her ear "I am all yours now.." he said kissing her shoulder.. and it was true he was..

Minerva couldn't help but smile as Harvey talked and she blushed a little as well. She put her arms on his when he wrapped them around her. "Your wrong I have changed. I can feel it that's why I got so upset. I am so ashamed of it. I can't go anywhere without having a panic attack. I can't stop my nerves and stop watching everything just waiting. Waiting for the moment that he appears and takes me again. Harvey I can't go back to that.. that room." She shuddered at the thought.

Harvey felt her arms on his as she spoke to him.. his listened to her every word.. "Firstly.. you have not changed.. all that you just said comes with what you have been through.. its natural.. so no you havent chanaged AT ALL!!.. Secondly.." he paused here for a moment "I wont let you go back to that room.. not now that I have you.. you are mine and I will fight to keep what is mine.." he said to her still with his arms wrapped around her. "I cant say it enough... I love you." he said to her.. resting his head on her shoulder now..

Justin came back into the living room without Amethyst. He was out of breath and dishevelled. " I could keep up with her. She's alot faster now that she can change on the fly..."
He saw Victoria getting ready to leave . So, he straightened himself as best he could in a moments time. " Victoria, are you leaving so quickly?....Well, it was a pleasure." he said as he bowed and took and kissed the back of her hand.

Kyle smiled and looked to Victoria. "I think it is best you Apparate here." She nodded, becoming even bigger in height and muscle. She was getting protective of everyone now. Why? She hardly knew Minerva's Mum, but she knew it was her job.

A loud grunt was heard, along with the sound of crumbling rock. Ame was obviously practicing again.

Kyle , Love. Would you go get Amethyst so that she may say goodbye before she Disapparates? " Vinnie said with a no nonsense tone that only Kyle could detect. She was of course the lady of the house.

Kyle didn't need to get Amethyst. She was standing in the doorway, the sleeveless training shirt on, a bit of blood smeared across her arms and face. She had a rag in her hand, as she wiped of the sweat and blood from her face and arms. She behaved herself, knowing it was Mama Wellheart's wish.
