Norah was an emotional wreck. She was both angry at Kris, and deeply wounded by her hateful words. She was also on edge by the sound of Kris's muffled sobs. She wasn't sure how to react and what to do, so she forced herself to tune the girl out and to concentrate on the potion. She was getting into a particularly precarious part of the potion, and she knew that if she made even the smallest mistake, the entire poton could be ruined.

Kris woke up the next day, at first she didn't remember where she was but at feeling the ropes on her wrists she remembered. She looked around for Norah, she wondered if the woman had just left her there.

Norah was in the little adjoining bathroom, washing up in preparation for her meeting with Rupert. He had responded to her owl during the night, and had agreed to meet with her.
She stopped to look at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes had bags under them after a long night of brewing her potion and worrying over what would happen. But otherwise, she thought, she looked stunning as always. Why was it that no one wanted her? She'd never understand it.
She paused to apply some makeup to her face, doing her best to smooth over the bags under her eyes. She wanted to look her best, if she was going to get Rupert to give her what she wanted. It took several more minutes to finish applying the makeup, which she topped off with a touch of dark red lipstick. Then she ran a brush through her hair before opening the door and stepping back into the room.
Immediately, she noticed that Kris was awake and looking around the room. "Well, good morning, sunshine," she said. "Sleep well?" Then she laughed, knowing the answer to her question. Besides, Kris couldn't very well reply with a gag in her mouth.

Kris glared at her, it wasn't funny that she couldn't answer because if the gag. She wondered why she was all gussied up, she struggled, she couldn't leave her tied up, what if she had to go to the bathroom? She wanted to be able to move around and if she was going to see her father she wanted to be there as well.

"I'll be seeing your father in a little while," Norah said. "I'm meeting him for lunch in Diagon Alley. It seems he actually is anxious to have you back after all. So we may be able to make a deal after all. If you're lucky, you may be free in time for dinner. How's that sound?" She laughed again, then walked over to Kris and took off her gag. "Now, just so I can't be accused of not taking care of you, I'm going to give you some food. Do you promise to eat it and not try to get away? Because I really don't want to have to force feed you."

"I want to see him!" Kris said a little loudly with tears in her eyes, " I wont eat unless I get to go." She wanted to be able to see her father, it wasn't right to leave her there not knowing what was going on. She also wanted to know what the potion was suppose to be for.

"Don't be ridiculous," Norah snapped. "You can't go. What would be the point in bringing you? I can't very well bargain with him if you're right there, now, can I? You're not going. And if I have to, I will force feed you."

"Fine." Kris mumbled, she struggled with the ropes then just gave up. "Please untie me, I wont even leave the bed." She wondered why she even used ropes, if she didn't want the be accused of mistreating her she wouldn't have tied her up.

Norah smiled then. "Good," she said. She bent down and untied Kris's wrists. "There. Now, what do you want? I found some breakfast pastries downstairs. Cherry or apple?" She walked back over and took a plate from the desk and brought it over to the little bedside table.

"Apple." Kris mumbled, she hated this woman more then she hated Greyback. She wished she could use her wand against her, she wondered if anyone at the school knew she was missing. She bit her lower lip, she would wait for her to leave before she even tried to go to the bathroom.

"Good!" Norah replied again, smiling brightly. "Enjoy!"
She turned away again and went over to the fireplace, where the potion had been steeping overnight over the low heat. She removed the cauldron from the heat and carried it over to the desk, where she set it down with a thud. She smiled to herself as she took out several vials and began to fill them with the contents of the cauldron, one at a time. As usual, she'd made much more than she would need. She would have to put the word out that she had some available. Maybe she could make a few extra galleons while she was at it...

"What's that for?" She asked quietly as she reached over and picked up the apple pastry. She opened it then took a bite, she wondered if she would even tell her. Kris wasn't normally nosey but if it was going to be used on her or her father she wanted to know. She thought the pastry tasted ok but a salad would be better.

Norah smiled mysteriously as she continued to dole out the steaming blue liquid. "It's my special brew," she said vaguely. "I'm surprised you don't recognize the scent. I've been brewing it for 10 years, since even before you came to live with me. Of course, I usually made it while you were at school. But this little potion was what paid for you to have nice clothes and good food. I had no other way to make muggle money... so I used to sell this potion. And now, it's going to get me the only thing I've ever really wanted."

Kris took another site of the pastry, "I'd rather have a fruit salad." She said with her bite still in her mouth. "I used to be a vegetarian until I got changed." She added after she had swallowed, "And that potion scent is over baring, I really can't smell anything else."

"A fruit salad? Look, they don't have that in Knockturn Alley, honey. I'd have to go too far to get you something like that. Just eat the pastry. They're made of fruit. I think." Norah finished doling out the potion into the last vial, then took the cauldron into the bathroom to run water in it. When she came back in, she said, "The smell should clear in an hour or so. I'd tell you to open a window, but you'd probably just try to escape. And besides, the smell out in the alley is worse than anything in here." She smirked.

Kris sat half the pastry on the bedside table, the smell was really making her sick. She was ok in potions but she didn't know much about stuff they taught the older kids. "If you really cared about me you wouldn't care how long you had to go to get good food." She mumbled as she held her stomach.

"Yes, but, baby, you know I have to meet your father soon. And besides, if I went out to get that for you, what guarantee would I have that you wouldn't try to get away while I was gone? The only thing I could do is tie you back up again, and I'm sure you don't want that. But you're my only bargaining tool right now. And I'm too close to getting what I've always wanted to back down now."

"I was tied up at the time you was out, and I can't use magic out of school so if you lock the door I can't leave. Anyway that smell of the portion made me lose my appetite." Kris laid on the bed on her side still holding her stomach.

"Well, not that I should be telling you this, but you can use magic when you're in a wizarding area, which you are," Norah said, frowning. "Of course, if I took your wand with me, then you wouldn't be able to do anything, unless you know how to pick a lock." She rolled her eyes at Kris. "Look, I don't have time to get you a fruit salad. You're just going to have to wait until I meet with your father and I find out if he's going to accept my deal."

Kris said nothing, she had nothing else to say to her. All she wanted was to be with her family and find out why Sirius wasn't there when she needed him. She put the pillow over her head to try to block out Norah's voice.
