Tears filled Norah's eyes. "I tried so hard!" she blurted out. "I loved you as you were my own... I even convinced myself you were... But you never even tried to open up, to get to know me, to think of me like a mother... You used to cry all the time and not tell me why... I could have helped you, I could have made it better.... if only you had let me! I'm not a bad person, I'm not... I'm just so alone...." She covered her face and began to weep heavily.

"You could have found someone to be with, have your own kid... not all guys will hurt you." Kris said quietly, she wondered what time it was, she felt like she had been there for hours or longer. She also wondered if she could make it to the door while she had her face covered.

Norah wiped at her face and looked at Kris. "But I wanted him. I wanted to be your mother... and I wanted to be able to do magic... everything I've ever wanted I couldn't have!" She punched the mattress in frustration. "But no more. When I meet with your father... If all goes well, I will have at least one thing that I want. And then I'll let you go to be with your brother and your boyfriend. But I will miss you..." She sniffled loudly and stood up. "Now, I must get started on that potion..."

Kris jumped when she punched the bed, she looked at her a little scared, "Wh-what will you have?" She wondered if she was going to take her father, or his magic. She wanted both her father and brother, not one without the other. She clenched the necklace as she thought about Sirius, she wondered if he really did love her.

"Now, now," Norah said sternly, wagging her finger at Kris. "I can't very well tell you that, can I? You will find out soon enough. Don't trouble your mind about it... just get some rest and have something to eat. Think about that boyfriend of yours, if you must. I will deal with your father." She turned away from Kris and began cutting some herbs.

Kris laid on the bed and closed her eyes, she didn't want to think about Sirius because all thoughts about him were just questions. She would make a deal with him that she would tell him the truth if he would tell her the truth. After a while of thinking about him she fell into a restless sleep.

Norah began work on her potion, chopping up herbs and other ingredients, mixing them into the cauldron slowly. For the potion, it was important to add all the dry ingredients first and make sure they were well mixed in the cauldron before adding the liquid ingredients.
Every now and then, she glanced over at Kris, noticing that she was sleeping. She wished things could have been different. If only Kris really had been her daughter... But she wasn't. Part of her considered the idea of telling her that she was her daughter for real, but she didn't think Kris would believe that. No, she was going to have to let her go... or would she?
She planned to offer two different things to Rupert in exchange for Kris. The question was, which one would he take?
She decided that she didn't even really care which one he chose. Either one would be good enough for her. She smiled at the thought as she began to mix the liquid ingrients into the potion.

Kris began having her same nightmares, nightmares of her attack. She starting muttering and whimpering in her sleep, the only words that came out clearly were 'no' and 'the pain'. Of course she hadn't been able to say anything during her attack. She wouldn't remember anything about the nightmare when she woke.

Norah heard Kris whimpering in her sleep and looked over at her in concern. Despite everything that had happened and that she had done, she loved Kris and hated the thought that she was scared or hurt. But she also knew that Kris had always shut her out of everything, only allowing Norah to comfort her when she was genuinely sick. But all the times Kris had cried over something or other, she had refused to talk to Norah about what was on her mind. She didn't doubt that this would be the same.
Still, after watching her for a few minutes, Norah added one last ingredient to the potion, then walked over to be with Kris, taking her hand and holding it in her own. "It's all right, Kris... you're safe. No one's going to hurt you."

Kris sat up her eyes were wide and for a minute she didn't know where she was. She felt cold yet she was sweating from the dream, she hated the nightmare. Her free hand went to her shoulder, she felt like it was hurting, it always did after the nightmare.

Automatically, Norah put her arms around Kris. "There, there... it's OK, baby. It's going to be OK. I'm here. You're safe now. It was just a dream..." She had done this many times when Kris was growing up. She could still remember the times when she held Kris while she cried over one thing or another. She never knew why the girl was crying, only that she had to be there for her.

"D-don't touch me." Kris said, she didn't want her touching her, she was going to trade her like she was a horse or animal. She rubbed her shoulder as it felt like it still hurt, she closed her eyes wishing she was with her father.

Norah pulled back as if Kris had slapped her. She didn't know what to say. Considering that she had kidnapped Kris in the first place, she supposed the reaction was justified, but it still hurt. "You... you really don't like me, do you?" she whispered. "You never did... did you? After all I did to take care of you and give you food and clothes and a good home... it really meant nothing to you, did it? You ungrateful little brat..."

Kris continued to rub her shoulder, "You kept me from my family, my mother is gone and I'll never get to know her. I always wanted to go home, I know what you said before was a lie." She had read some of the letters her father had given her, they never showed any sign of them not loving or wanting her.

Norah was half-tempted to give up just then. Kris was unappreciative, ungrateful, and annoyingly fixated on her family. Never had she bothered to see what she did have, to see how much she was loved and cared for. She would never understand how much Norah had done for her. "You know, I could just let you go right now, and you'd probably be ripped to shreds by the people who hang around here. Knockturn Alley is no place for a whiny little girl," she hissed furiously. "Right now, like it or not, but I am your only protection. You'd never even make it out there by yourself. So if I were you, I'd be nicer to me!" She began to pace the floor, raking her hands through her hair in frustration. "I can also tie you up again, and I will if you don't at least try to be cooperative!"
Furious, she went back to working on her potion.

"I could just take the knight bus." Kris said crossing her arms as she started sulking. "I really hate you." She added in a mutter, she glanced at the door wishing she could get to it before she turned around.

"The Knight Bus won't stop in the middle of Knockturn Alley. You have to go to the front entrance of the alleyway. And trust me when I tell you, the people you'd meet on the way would never let you pass. You'd wind up being sold into slavery or worse. And I can't believe you would say that you hate me, when I've just told you that I loved you and did all of this for you!" Angrily, she turned away from the potion and looked back at Kris, her eyes blazing. "I should just tie you up right now! And take your stupid wand away, too!"

"I don't care! As long as I'm away from you!" Kris shouted, she was still scared but she didn't want to act like it. She cowered when she looked at her with blazing eyes, she couldn't hide her fear that look.

"Oh, that does it!" Norah shouted. "I'm tying you up again! I need to finish this potion, and I can't have you constantly threatening to run away and stuff." She stormed back over to where Kris was, this time carrying a length of rope that she had bought while she was out. She tied Kris's hands together, then lashed them to the bed post. Then she grabbed one of the cloths she had used earlier, and tied it around Kris's mouth. "Now, shut up!"
Then she went back to work on the potion.

Kris closed her eyes and silently cried, this time out of fear. She didn't know what was going to happen, and that scared her the most. She wished that the next day would hurry and come, she wanted to know what she was going to trade her for. She continued to silently cry until she fell asleep.
