When Norah dragged Kris out of the Three Broomsticks, for a long, terrified moment, she wasn't sure where to go. She had only just arrived in England, and hadn't even bothered to find a place to stay first. She had been so desperate to see Kris, and had planned on taking a room above the Three Broomsticks. Now she couldn't very well do that. She needed to go someplace where no one would care what she was up to.
She knew of Knockturn Alley, and had been there a few times with friends who had magical powers. There was a dark, dirty little inn there that she remembered being particularly private... but getting there was a problem. Not having magical powers, she had to be taken there by someone who did. Desperate, she reached into Kris's pocket and pulled out her wand. Placing it in Kris's hand, she then held it out to summon the Knight Bus.
In an instant, the bus appeared in front of them. "Knockturn Alley," she said sharply. "And make it quick."
Thankfully, the bus was almost empty as they climbed in and sat toward the front. The drive was typically erratic and nerve-wracking, and Kris kept trying to fight her, but Norah would not let go. When they arrived in Knockturn Alley, she paid the driver and dragged Kris out of the bus and into the inn.
After renting a room with the sinister-looking clerk, Norah carried Kris upstairs and into the rented room.
"Now, then," she said at last, releasing Kris on the bed. "Why did you make me do this?"

"I didn't make you do anything!" Kris shouted to afraid to move, she didn't know what this woman was capable of, now that she thought about she didn't know anything about this woman. "Why don't you want me to be with my real family?"

Norah began to pace the floor, wringing her hands wildly. "You're the only family I've got, why can't you see that? I can't be alone... I can't let him have you... He was supposed to be mine... you should have been mine... Stupid Eileen, she stole everything I ever wanted! I was supposed to be the witch... not her! She was a muggle! My parents were magical... but I had nothing... she stole the magic from me! She loved Rupert... I loved him, too... but he only wanted her! So when my chance came, I took you... you were mine. I used to pretend you were mine... his and mine. And then you were mine. I couldn't let you go back there. I couldn't. You were the only thing I had..." She began to cry.

Kris glanced at the door as she backed up on the bed. "Did you do something to make me forget my mother?" She hadn't wanted to believe the woman who raised her had made her forget her mother. Though if she had it would give a reason for why she forgot her mother.

Norah turned and glared at Kris. "And just how would I do that? I have no magic. I can't even do a simple charm! A memory charm would be completely beyond my abilities! Your stupid, evil mother stole the powers that were supposed to be mine, leaving me just a pathetic, useless... muggle!"
She continued wringing her hands nerviously. Luckily for her, Kris hadn't asked if anyone else had made her forget...

"Then why don't I remember her?!" Kris didn't want to believe she had forgotten her mother on her own. She glanced at the door again, she didn't understand why she couldn't remember her but she could her brother and father. She backed up to the head of the bed to be as far away from the woman as she could. What was she going to do when the full moon came?

Norah shrugged. "Maybe she just wasn't that memorable," she said harshly. "She wasn't that pretty. I was the pretty one. She wasn't that smart, either. I was smarter, except for not being able to use magic. There was really nothing so special about her, I never understood why she got everything and I was left with nothing!"

Kris glared at her, she wouldn't believe anything the woman said about her family. "Why did you lie to my father? Why did you tell him I was happy? I was never happy!" She wanted the truth, she wished there was a spell that made people tell the truth. "I will not believe anything bad you say about my family. Greyback tried to turn me against them, he had me against them until he said the only way to get back at them was to give him my brother."

"Was I so bad to you?" cried Norah hysterically. "I loved you like you were mine! Why couldn't you be happy with that? If you'd gone back with them, you always would have been second to the boy and what he is. He was their life, and no matter what they tell you, they never would have had the time to give you the love and attention I gave you. So I kept you, I lied to them... it was for the best, don't you see?"

"Everyone thinks what they did was for the best... well you know what? It wasn't. Greyback attacked me because I wouldn't give him my brother, and from what I heard he tried to take me to his pack. So what my father wanted to prevent, happened." Kris crossed her arms, though she was scared she was angry as well. Everyone thought they were doing everything for the best, all they were doing was making things bad.

Norah immediately stopped pacing. "He what? That bastard! He swore to me you wouldn't be touched! He only wanted the boy!" She clenched her fists and uttered a long string of obscenities. "I can't believe he did this... so... now you're a werewolf, too... just like him?"

"Did you have something to do with his attacking Remus?" Kris didn't understand, why would she even talk to Greyback? "Though, yes, I am a werewolf, and I'm still getting use to it."

Norah raised her chin and crossed her arms. "Well, not that I owe you an explanation, but... Greyback may have threatened me, in order to get me to tell him where to find your family. I could use it to my advantage, so I did. He swore he only wanted the boy. Why in hell did he attack you?"
She began to pace again. This was all wrong, everything was going wrong. It wasn't how it was supposed to be at all. She couldn't very well keep Kris here as her prisoner forever. But it was the only way she could keep her. She had already lost Kris. She was already left with nothing. "It's not fair!" she cried out. "She's been dead so long, and still Eileen gets everything, and I get nothing!"

"He attacked me because I wouldn't take my brother to him." Kris told her quietly, "I can't even tell my boyfriend even though it's tearing us apart." Tears formed in her eyes as she thought Sirius being with someone else. She wanted to tell him so much, but it was hard to know if he would stay with her.

"You don't need that boy, baby," Norah said, her voice suddenly soothing. She walked over and sat down on the edge of the bed next to Kris. "Men are just trouble, believe me. You're better off without them. I wish I hadn't fallen in love with your father, then maybe I could have learned to be content with what I already had. But he didn't love me, he only loved your mother." A tear formed in her eye. "I'll never understand why everyone always loved her so much..."

"I do need him! He's the only reason I went back to school! He's the only reason I stay at that school! That stupid Greyback messed everything up!" Kris shouted moving away from her, she wondered if Sirius ever came back and found her gone.

"Kris, listen to me," Norah said, knowing even as she said it that her credibility was pretty much gone at this point. "You can't base your life on a boy. Boys--and men--are terribly unreliable. They get bored, they move on, they leave you... you can't let your life revolve around them, do you hear me? If you do, it's almost guaranteed that he'll break your heart and leave you sad and alone. Please... you've got to look out for yourself and do the best you can for you. Do you want to end up like me? Do you?"

"I will never make a deal with someone as evil as Greyback or kidnap a kid!" Kris shouted. "I wouldn't make myself believe someone elses kid is mine! I'm not crazy like that!" She didn't have a way to leave, she hugged herself as she thought she would never see her family or boyfriend again.

"I am not crazy!" Norah shouted. "I just... I don't have anyone anymore... I don't belong anywhere... you were the only thing I had left... the only good thing in my life... I wanted a little girl just like you, and I was able to get you from Eileen.... I loved you like you were mine... You should have been mine! I had no choice but to make a deal with Greyback... he would have bit me instead if I hadn't... Of course, if he had, at least I'd have some powers instead of having to steal them from other people... Oh!" she clamped her hands over her mouth suddenly. "Did I say that? I mean, I..."

"Steal them from other people? How can you steal magic from other people?" Kris asked fear in her voice, what if she used someone to make her forget her mother? That would explain her lack of memories. She would have asked her but she was too scared to mention her mother.
