Rough Beginnings...(Matilda, Dristan, Teagan)

Once sitting back down after starting coffee in the coffee pot, and having Matilda come to lean against her lap. She snuggles with the girl, pulling her onto her lap and watching Pia talk. Teagan looks over to Dristan and smiled towards him. This was really happening. THey were going to try and bring her to London with them. ANd she hoped that it would work.

Pia smiles and pulls over laptop, pulling up a notepad. "Well. Let's start with your full name, your birthday, and where you were born, ok? I gotta put it all in so I can make the passport and they are going to look for it." She smiles and waits for her answers, patiently holding her fingers above the buttons.

Pia nods and types. "It's very nice to meet you Matilda." She types for a long moment and then looks up. "OK now..." She stops and blinks. "Oh Matilda...honey, please don't cry! I understand it was a rough night for you and today there seems like there is a lot going on, but that's why I am here! To help and do everything I can to make this smooth so that you guys can head home, ok?"

Dristan was not upset when Matilda moved away from him. She had been through a lot and still going through more so he stood back up and remained where he was listening to the answers Matilda gave. When Matilda started crying and Teagan looked at him Dristan quietly came over and lifted Matilda from the chair and sat back down with Matilda in his lap since he had noticed that when he held or cradled her she was able to calm down easier. "So here we go. You answer her questions and we fly to London and we get to show you our home and we have a huge dog that would love to meet you as well." His voice calming, and loving.

"We are going to have so many adventures and games this summer. You champion are going to have the best time and fun this summer and Ms. T and I will always be right by your side as we are now. We will not leave you." He whispered to Matilda.

Pia is about to start asking questions again...when the sounds of scratching can be heard from the front door. A few seconds later there is another knock. Pia seems confused and checks the time on the computer. "Hmm...they'd be reeealy early if that is the delivery man." Pia looked to Dristan and Teagan. "Expecting someone else?"

Teagan jumped, startled at the scratching at the door. Teagan takes Matilda's hand as she's handed from Dristan and looks to Pia. She stands ushering Teagan back into the bedroom. "My Knight..." She whispers, as if debating if she should stay to help him. After a moment she makes her back to the bedroom, shuts and locks the door as requested walking over to sit on the bed. Her hand goes up to the bauble about her neck, or playing with the single ring. She motions for Matilda to come sit with her.

"He is a brave knight Little Champion." She nods reassuringly. "Come sit."

The other two ran to the room but Pia stayed, grabbing her bag and standing. "I got your back Sir Knight..." she says quietly. There is more scratching and then a voice. "I am already knocking furballs...maybe just wait until they answer the door? Maybe?" It is male and adultish but also...exasperated at...something. Pia shrugs as she looks at Dristan waiting for him to open the door.

As Dristan opens the doors, two squirrels zoom in and race towards the bedroom where they start scratching at the door. On the other side, a man close to six feet tall and looking almost...not homeless but not well to do either waves slightly.  "I followed them here.  Name's Benny...and there are some strange things going on here.  Do you mind if I come in?  I think it would be better if we had our conversation inside and not out here." 

Dristan saw the squirrels rush in immediately and jumped back with the knife ready and then paused seeing them go to the bedroom door and even though he was fully ready to fight to actually really see this he was very confused and looked at the man and then to Pia and once more to Benny. "You may come in but I swear any funny business....." Dristan spoke dark and cold to him and moved now to position himself between Benny and the door to the room Teagan and Matilda were in.

"Mind calling off your friends please before they freak out people?" He asked and glanced to Pia and back to Benny again. "Who and what are you. Answers now!"

Dristan saw the wand the spell and instantly he looked right back at Benny and raised his hands to gesture to the man he was no threat. "Dristan Adamson, Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy. Yes the orphanage was blown up we were told to come rescue the young girl in the room. And as you just confirmed with me because I did not know until now she is a witch but does not know it and by my guess has not received her letter yet." Dristan slowly relaxed now.

"The young girl is under my protection. I was told to come and protect her from something that was hunting her. Told that she was almost killed in the orphanage by something with black eyes, black skin. She must have released her magic in her panic state and caused it. She has to come with us. That was what the instruction was given to my fiancee and I. We do not have a lot of information and by the way you carry yourself you are definitely an auror."

Dristan did not move away from the door. "She is very scared right now and still reeling from the experience. We are taking her to my home in London to protect her until she receives her letter." Everything taht Dristan spoke was truthful. "She knows nothing of magic and if you want any remote chance of seeing her you need to put your wand away or you will freak her out more and you know what could happen Benny."

Dristan looked at Pia and smiled. "She is a close friend of mine that I called here to help with some paperwork so that the little girl can leave with us today to go to London. Since the orphanage was destroyed means no documents for the girl so I called a favor of a friend." Dristan spoke yes he made it up but he was protecting what Pia was from Benny. "No need to worry about her. She is good I assure you."

Dristan lowered his hands now as Benny seemed to relax. "So are we all good here?"

"She will have proper wizard guardians with me and I am a professor for a wizarding school so I have more then enough knowledge and to be able to give her guidance and slowly bring her into our world and explain everything so that she will not be an issue and since she will be with me this will move from under the jurisdiction of the MACUSA to the Ministry of Magic in London. I assure you that what needs to be done is to let my fiancee and I take her and then over the summer I will be able to monitor and guide her. I will take full responsibility for her."

Dristan would not let the door to the bedroom be opened yet not until all was calm. "She is wild yes but we all were at her age before our letters. It does happen. She is an orphan so she had not parents to guide her that is where I come in. With that said as soon as I get back to London with her I will report to the Ministry of Magic with a proper report and make sure that a copy of the report is sent to the MACUSA by all regulations and guidance."

Dristan steps over and stands next to the bedroom door now and crosses his arms over his chest and waits quietly for Benny to speak with his higher ups. If things did not turn in a certain favor then Dristan would have to get a hold of his father at the Ministry of Magic to try and override a decision if they wanted Matilda to remain. He was instructed to aide the little girl and bring her to London and that was what he was going to do.

Dristan was silent for a moment at Benny's questions and comments and walks over to the wall where the knife is. "Putting the knife away just relax." He pulls the knife out of the wall and places it back in his back pocket and covers it with his shirt. Calmly he walks over to the bedroom door once more. "Yes she has had a couple of flashbacks." Dristan spoke truthfully. "But I have also noticed that when she has them I am able to soothe her out of them." Dristan rubbed his face a bit with the idea in his head where this was going.

""Let me talk to her first and calm her so that nothing goes crazy. Will you allow me to do that before you see her?"
