Back to The Mansion

Jasmine saw Harriate struggle with Cody. She hoped that Cody could handle this. "Harriate, relax. We are trying to help you. You're not going back to the hellhole. Cody hurry, get inside before she runs off to the Riddle Manor. Remus, help us out here instead of standing there and looking pretty."

The small cub whimpered eyes darting around in fear as it bit down towards Codys hand wanting free. A familiar scent reached its nose but she was to confused to understand what it meant.

"Cody, don't be a smart arse, Jasmine, go in and get freshened up, I'll take Harriate in to the Den, but I'm not a doctor, and I can't just, de-brainwash people..none of you would be hurt if you would have listen, if anyone is stuborn around here, it's you three!"

Jasmine looked at Cody and nodded at what he just said,"Believe him, Harriate. Cody is one of the most gentle guys I know. You can trust him." she said in a calm and kind voice. She looked at Remus with a weak smile plastered on her face and nodded,"Yes sir. After I do get freshed up, I'll explain everything." Jasmine walked into the manor and she walked upstairs to the nearest bathroom.

'Harriates' eyes darted around looking for an escape back to her 'mother' yet for some reason she felt safe here.

Jasmine walked into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. She searched the room for about five minutes until she found the first aid kit. Jasmine removed her black cloak, her tee shirt, and unhooked her bra. She looked into the mirror and saw all of the scratches and cuts that Harriate gave her and the old scars that had been there since Josh beat her. All of those memories began to flood back as she looked at the faded old scars on her back.

He helped Cody take Harriate into the Den and rested her down then he made his way to the fire and began to set it up, putting some wood and paper on and coal then used his wand to lit it, bringing some light and warmth into the room.
He walked over to the window and looked out to the grounds watching the turning leaves at it became dark.

'Harriate' remained where she was placed shaking slightly as she glanced around the room. She sniffed at a familiar scent and wondered what was so familiar and sniffed again her small wolf face scrunching up.

She got up from her chair and walked over to Remus.

"Would you like to get some fresh air", she asked with a warm smile?

He looked round to her and nodded
"Need to get sometime to think so yes be nice to get out, sure they can sort their propblems out, learn from their mistakes, can't always be the one to cover up, fix everything which they caused for not listening in the first place.."

Meanwhile in the bathroom, Jasmine continued to stare at her old faded scars on her back. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell down the sides of her face as she remembered that horrible night when Josh tried to kill her.

Flashback:

The apartment was dark and depressing and a young teen about the age of 14 was crouched in a corner, cowering in fear as a young man with a large kitchen knife kept hitting and insulting her. "You little tramp. Answer me when I'm talking to you. Did you go out last night when I told you not to?" The girl shook her head,"No, I did not." she said in a shakey voice. The young man slapped her across the face, making her head hit the wall. "Fine, have it your way then. I was getting sick of having a dirty little siren like you living off of me anyways. I wish I could have burned you at the stake when I had the chance. Go to hell, Jasmine Granger!!!!! Burn in hell with the rest of your family." He made a swift motion to stab her but, she rolled out of the way and she took out her wand and aimed it at him and screamed,"JOSH STOP!!!!! I'M SORRY!!!! I'M REALLY SORRY!!! IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!" He didn't listen to her charged at her and knocked her to the ground and raise the knife to stab in her heart but, she was too quick for him. She shut her eyes and yelled the first curse the came to mind,"AVADA KEDAVRA!!!!!" In a flash of greenlight, everything went black.

End Flashback

Jasmine looked around the room realizing that she was still in the Gryffindor Manor, reminding herself that it was just a memory. It was still fresh in her mind and Jasmine crumpled down to her knees and she began to cry without bothering to treat her wounds.

The small cub pushed itself futher into the corner of the chair trying to hide.
'Harriate' was so confused about everything that was going on and wished that she at least had her memory back.

"Good, I'll get our cloaks", she said turing around and walking to the cloak rack getting thier cloaks.

*She held out his cloak for him*

"Walk or fly?"

"Fly, rather get there asap seeing as winter is setting in."
He said taking his cloak from her and putting it on then heading out of the Den to go get a broom from the broom cupboard.

She tuned and follwed him as they retrieved thier brooms.

She opened the front door and stepped out feeling the cool crisp air on he face.

The lawn was covered with leaves.

She mounted broom and waited for Remus.

After about 20 minutes or so, Jasmine quickly calmed down and cleaned up the wounds on her back. She clipped her bra, put on her tee shirt, and cleaned up her mess, and then put up the first aid kit back into it's place. Jasmine picked up her cloak and walked downstairs to the den where Harriate was. She shut the door behind her and smiled at Harriate, approaching her cautiously,"Hello Harriate. Are you starting to remember anything yet?" she asked her politely.

Jasmine decided to leave Harriate alone and she walked out of the den. She walked outside and she met up with Cody,"Hey. Is everything alright?"

Jasmine nodded,"Have you punched the jerk in the face yet? I did."

Jasmine sighed,"You're right. Heck if you think your life is crap, mine is even worse."
