Norah cursed herself for letting that slip. This wasn't good. She was losing control, and she really wished she had some more potion. If she could take Kris's powers for a while, then maybe she wouldn't be so helpless here. "I don't actually steal them. I just.... temporarily absorb them," she found herself saying. "You know... borrow them. There's this potion... That's all I was ever able to do. It's just like cooking... any idiot with a magic book can brew a half-decent potion. So I make one that lets me take people's powers for a while. It doesn't last long... but at least it lets me feel what it's like to have the power. Your mother must have done it to me, only the powers stuck with her instead... how else could I be born with nothing, while she could do magic. Huh? How? It isn't fair... she stole it from me!"

"I-it happens to a lot of people.... m-my friend Lily has muggle parents but she's magical.... I-I thought you and Mom were friends... that's what Dad told me.." Kris rubbed her arms. "Remus doesn't remember me because of the attack by Greyback... here I was thinking he tore my family apart and it was you."

Norah glared at her. "I know about mudbloods. But what I don't understand is how she could have magic, and I was just a miserable squib! Useless... cast out..." She let out a choked sob. "Eileen was my best friend... we were as close as sisters... but it all changed when she got her Hogwarts letter and I didn't! I told her I was happy for her... but I was lying. How could I be happy for her when she had what I was supposed to have?"

"So you take me from her? Do you think that's fair?!" Kris glared at her. "You have something to do with my memory of her being gone, I know you do!" She got off the bed and took a chance and ran for the door.

Norah saw her move, and in a flash, she rushed over and blocked the door, grabbing Kris by the arms. "You're not going anywhere!" she cried. "You're staying with me. I can't lose you, do you understand?"
She dragged Kris over to the bed and pushed her back down. "Don't make me tie you up, OK? Just... please... I'm not a bad person, I'm not. I cared for you all those years and loved you like you were my own. Doesn't that count for something?"

"Not when you're the cause of my brother being a werewolf! Not when you kept me from my family! They wanted me home! I thought they hated me and didn't want me! And it's all your fault!" Kris shouted as tears formed in her eyes, she wished they would have just let Greyback take her.

Norah was getting frustrated. Kris didn't understand at all. "Don't you understand?" she yelled. "I did this for you! You were always second to your brother! They worshipped the boy, and barely even noticed you. And that was before he was bitten. And Greyback would have found your family and bitten your brother sooner or later, without my help. I just wanted you to be happy... why couldn't you be happy?"

"I was happy! I was close to my brother before you messed it up! I want that life back! I always wanted it back! I didn't want to leave him!" Kris hugged herself wishing someone would save her, she felt scared and alone. "I never had friends, no one would talk to me, friends come and go but family would always be there. I never thought that after a few years of being away from them and getting nothing from them."

Norah shook her head. "You would have had to leave him at some point, anyway, no matter what I did. Greyback had made up his mind... he was going after your brother. He was going to bite him, whether I helped him or not. This way, I knew I'd be able to take you in and protect you. You should be grateful! You were going to be cast out, no matter what, when he was attacked!"

"You're lying! They loved me!" Kris could barely remember her childhood, but she didn't want to believe what she was being told. "I wont believe it!" She hugged herself tighter, she wished she could leave, she wanted to be with her family.

Norah was getting tired of this. She needed to figure out what she was going to do next. She had kidnapped Kris, taken her away from her boyfriend, her brother, and her father. But what was she going to do, now that she had her. She couldn't force Kris to live with her as her prisoner forever. She needed to do something else. She began to pace as she thought about her options.
She'd already lost Kris. She didn't want to stay with her, and if she tried to keep her here indefinitely, it would just make both of them miserable. But the thought of being alone... it was intolerable. Maybe... just maybe... there was a way she could have everything she wanted. But first, she had to keep Kris quiet.
She looked around the room and finally found some old cloths in the bathroom. She walked over to Kris and used the cloths to tie Kris's arms to the bed post. Then, with the last cloth, she tied it around Kris's mouth, gagging her. "It just won't do to have you talking or moving around," she said angrily. "Since all you want to do is whine and complain about being here, I don't see any reason to make you comfortable. I need to think!"

Kris had watched as she paced then before she could react the woman had got some cloths then tied her to the bed and gagged her. Tears formed in her eyes, she didn't think anyone was going to help her, she didn't know what the woman was going to do but Kris didn't think she would like it.

Now that Kris was silenced and restrained, Norah was free to do what she needed to do. She rooted through her bag and found a notepad and paper and sat down at the little desk in the corner of the room. She thought for a minute, chewing on the end of her pen. She could hear Kris struggling and whimpering over on the bed and it annoyed her. "You know, I wouldn't have had to tie you up if you had just cooperated with me!" she said angrily.
Then she put her pen to the paper and began to write:
Satisfied with her letter, she ready it over several times, chuckling joyfully to herself. She was so clever and brilliant! If only she could do magic, she thought, she would certainly be perfect! Then everyone would love her and no one would abandon her again.
She stood up and looked around the room. She needed to fetch an owl. "Where the hell are the stupid owls in this place, anyway?" she raged. Turning back to Kris, she said, "Now, you just stay right where you are, you hear me? I need to mail this to your dear old dad."
She left the room then, locking the door with the key before she left.

Kris struggled as hard as she could once she had left the room, she felt the cloth tighten the more she struggled. She closed her eyes as tears rolled down her face, she was so scared and she didn't think anyone was looking for her. She wished she hadn't told that woman anything, she should have just made Sirius take her somewhere else, or even back to the school.

Norah walked down to the lobby of the shabby motel, and after some searching, was pointed to an open-air owlery where she could mail her letter. She found a small, nondescript barn owl and attached her letter to the bird's leg. It flew off quickly and was gone, and Norah smiled to herself. Maybe she still had a chance to be what she should have been all along.
After standing in the dirty owlery for a long moment, Norah went back inside and inquired about a cauldron and potion ingredients. But the stupid motel had nothing, and sent her off to the apothecary and cauldron store.
While she was out, Norah picked up the ingredients for her potion, as well as a second-hand cauldron, and some fresh rope. She also bought some food, so that she could hide away in the room for a while.
It was nearly an hour when she finally returned back to the room. She was a little nervous about having left Kris alone for so long.

Kris had gave up on getting free, she didn't see the point in going back, Sirius didn't care about her. She pretended to be asleep when she came back in the room, she was still scared and didn't like when the lady looked at her. She did want to be with her dad and brother but this woman wouldn't let her.

Norah came back to find Kris lying still on the bed, looking as if she was asleep. Good. She didn't need to have her struggling and making noise.
She set her purchases down on the desk and began to unpack the potion ingredients. There was a fireplace for potion brewing set up in the corner, so Norah set about starting up a fire so she could work on the potion. If her plan was going to work, she would need to have the potion ready ahead of time.

Kris kept thinking that if Sirius had been there she would be with him and not tied up. She didn't think Sirius even cared enough to look for her, she just had the feeling that he had been lying to her about what he talked to James about and that he was with another girl when she needed him most. As she thought about him with another girl tears formed and slowly fell down her face.

After she had lit the fire, Norah walked back to the table and took out some of the food she had purchased. In order to keep things simple, she had mostly bought junk food. Taking out a pumpkin pasty, she opened it up and began to eat. After a few bites, she decided to check on Kris, to see if she wanted anything to eat. Walking over to the bed, she saw that there were tears streaming down the girl's face.
"Oh, Kris, don't cry. I'm not going to hurt you, OK? I promise. I would never do that, you know that, don't you? All those years I raised you... I love you. That's why I can't let you go. You understand, don't you?"

Kris nodded, she didn't understand but she was just giving in. She couldn't stop the tears though, the thought of losing Sirius was heartbreaking. She opened her eyes and looked up at the ceiling hating herself for listening to her brother, her keeping the secret from Sirius drove him to someone else.
