Norah couldn't stand the tears. They were frustrating her terribly. Even when Kris was growing up, Norah had been unable to handle Kris's tears. When Kris had been upset, she had never said what was wrong, and had always kept everything locked inside.
She sat on the edge of the bed and began to wipe the tears from Kris's face. "Oh, now, Kris, really... I'm not so bad, really, am I? I didn't want to have to do this, but I couldn't lose you. You mean too much to me... I just can't let you go. Wasn't I good to you when you were growing up? Please... don't cry... I brought you some food, if you want. I have pumpkin pasties and treacle tarts and some chocolate... I'll untie your mouth so you can eat, if you want..."

Kris nodded her head again, she did want to eat, she was forced to leave her chocolate behind when she took her. She wished she hadn't been saved from Greyback, she also wished she couldn't remember her family, she might have been happier that way.

Norah took the gag off of Kris's mouth and helped her sit up slightly. "OK, hold on just a minute," she said. She got up and walked back to the table, then took the chocolate out of the bag. After tearing open the package, she walked back over to the bed and sat on the edge again. "Here you go," she said, bringing the chocolate up to her mouth.

"Untie me, please? I wont try to run again." Kris just wanted to feed herself, she wasn't a baby. She looked at her lap wondering if she would untie her or believe she wouldn't run.

Norah thought about it for a minute. She didn't really want to keep Kris tied up. And if Kris swore she wouldn't try to run, maybe it would be safe to let her arms go free. "OK," she said. "I'll untie you. For now, anyway. If I get any hint that you're thinking of running, though, I'll have to tie you up again."
She set the chocolate bar on the bedside table and set about untying Kris's arms. "There now, how's that?" she said.

Kris rubbed her wrists but said nothing, she didn't want her to yell again. Kris noticed her wrists were red from her struggling, she wiped her face from the tears she had shed. She would no longer think about everything this woman was taking her from. She slowly reached for the chocolate hoping it was ok.

Norah sat back down on the edge of the bed and sighed tiredly. "I meant what I said, Kris. You know that, right? I've always thought of you as my own, and I couldn't love you any more if you were. I know I handled things all wrong... But I did it all for you. I just wanted to be able to be there for you. I see now that you were unhappy... I didn't see it then, or I didn't want to believe it. I thought you'd come to love me as if I was your mother. And I did the best I could for you... you know that, right?"

Kris shrugged as she took a bit of the chocolate, she looked at the chocolate and found herself thinking about Sirius. She sat the chocolate back down, it didn't feel right to eat chocolate anymore. She brought her knees up to her chest and hugged them as she fought back tears.

Norah saw her starting to cry again, and instinctively put her arms around Kris. "Please... don't cry. It's OK. I promise, I won't hurt you. And, if my plan works out the way I hope, I'll be able to return you to your father soon. Please don't cry..."

"Do you think everything's about you? I want to be with Sirius. I want to tell him the truth, I want to tell him everything about me.. about what I am." Kris moved away from her, she wanted to be with Sirius, not here.

"Sirius?" Norah repeated. "That boy you were with? Oh, Kris, you can't let yourself get all upset over a boy. I'm trying to tell you, baby, boys aren't worth crying over like that. They never stick around.... they get bored, they move on... there's nothing you can do about it. it's best just to stay away from them altogether. I'm telling you, I didn't like the looks of that boy at all."

"So you want me to grow up and never be with anyone... never have a family? I don't want that, I love him and I miss him. Just because he looks like a bad guy doesn't make him one, he's the sweetest boy I know." More tears streamed down her cheeks, she should have told him the truth from the begining. She wanted to feel his arms around her, hear his voice, but she didn't think that was going to happen.

Norah didn't quite know what to do. She had never figured on Kris falling in love with a boy at such a young age. She wasn't quite prepared to comfort her the way she needed, because her own experiences had been so terrible. "But Kris, baby, you're very young," she said. "It's too soon for you to give your heart to a boy like that..."

"I love him and that wont change for nothing, he loves me too, he gave me this." She pointed to the necklace, she never took it off, even when she slept it was always around her neck. "My father met him at the end of last year and didn't have a problem with him."

Norah stared at the necklace for a moment, unable to think of a single thing to say. The necklace looked old, like an heirloom, and a greedy part of her wondered whether it would be worth money. But money had never been a problem for Norah. Even though her parents had basically shunned her for being a worthless squib, they had not done her wrong when it came to money. On their deaths, she had inherited all of her parents' money, which enabled her to live comfortably while doing only a minimal amount of work.
But what stunned her even more was the fact that her little girl, as she had always thought of Kris, was really, truly in love. How had she missed so much of her daughter's life? She had no idea how to advise Kris about love... all she knew how to do was warn her against it. But she knew now that Kris was not going to listen. She had made up her mind already. She chose this boy... this Sirius.
"Oh, baby..." she breathed at last. "I just don't want you to get hurt, the way I was..."

"That's part of growing up, isn't it? Don't you think making me stay away from my family was hurting me? I want to remember my mother, but I can't." She held the necklace wishing she could go home, go to Sirius. "How long are you planning on keeping me here? Unless you plan on chaining me up on the full moon you can't keep me that long."

Norah frowned. She had forgotten about the full moon. "Curse that Greyback and the hair on his tail!" she hissed furiously. "I should skin that bastard alive for breaking his promise and attacking you!" She looked at Kris and sighed. "I wanted to keep you forever, but I can see that can't be. So it will just depend on what your father does. I've written to him and asked him to meet me tomorrow to make a deal. So we'll just see if your father really wants you back as much as he says he does."

"If I don't get to go back I will face my fear of owls and send a letter to my pack leader and he will get me from you." Kris was planning on telling Sirius everything about who and what she was. If her father didn't come she would hate him forever, she would never be able to see him without wishing she had forgotten him after Greyback attacked her.

This was a wrinkle Norah was not expecting. "You have a pack leader?" she repeated. She knew that Greyback had a pack, but she didn't know that other werewolves ran in packs. "Look, I'm sure he'll go along with it. He has to. But I wish you weren't so anxious to get away from me. I mean, yeah, I kidnapped you and all, but I used to be good with you, remember?" She sighed. "I can't quite accept that I'm losing you. Didn't you ever even try to care about me at all?"

"No, to me you were a stranger, someone I didn't know but was forced to live with, the only time I felt a little happy was when I was outside drawing the animals... the wild animals.." She missed them, she knew she could count on them. She wondered if there was any way she could find a different kind of bird to send letters.
