Harry had done a thing. This was definitely a Harry thing. If she had to guess on how much of a stupid Harry thing that Harry had done? It was definitely at about a nine, which on the Scale was akin to wearing a leather and metal bikini around a giant fugly slug creature. So, Harry had done a thing Again and she had to pick up the pieces. In her towel. Yeah, Harry had definitely done a thing worth killing for. Or at least Mom level of scary glare at him.

"And he would've gotten away with it to if it hadn't have been for those darn pesky kids, come on Obi-Wan not really getting the whole point of this little lesson!" Molly said to the air, raising her hands above her head and almost giving a couple of hey, faeries and just her kind of faeries. "You guys want to help a girl out and in return I promise I'll buy you guys a slice of pizza?"

Yeah, who was the big bad faerie tamer that would be her. Now, all she had to do was get some clothes, get her magic on and find her stupid ass Captain oh Captain. Wherever he was, he better have his damn coat on him because it was cold. And was that a door? She was definitely going to exit stage right because damn that place smelt like coffee.

I wanted to facepalm, but at some point I have to let Molly start making deals of her own. I was a lot younger and dumber than her when I first started getting into that sort of stuff, so I shouldn't be too harsh on her. I just don't want her to be as stupid as I was about this stuff.

"I'm not tense, I'm just ready for anything," I said, giving her what I hope is a reassuring smile. "Tense is the poor man's paranoid."

[youngpadawan]

A small, nagging part of her whispered that she could just take if from his mind. Whatever was worrying him, whatever was making him tense she could find out if she just used her magic. She could even feel it, wanting to brush against his mind and ta- No, she wasn't that girl. That wasn't who she was, she was stronger than that.

Tugging her magic back, making it bend to her will and not its own or her stupid ass desires she got herself back under control. Harry didn't need to know, Harry never needed to know.

"Come on then, show me your home poor man's paranoid. And then I can give you back your coat, you look naked without it." Molly replied.

[wizard4hire]

"I feel naked without it," Harry admitted. Especially considering how not too long ago someone put a bullet in him, which his duster was able to protect against. Somewhat. Definitely better than his shirt and skin had been, that was for sure.

"But the place is nice. It's where the town just meets the forest, so it's isolated and it has the bonus of having a basement."

[youngpadawan]

"It's isolated? So, how exactly are we going to get me a place near it. I'm not living in the middle of nowhere on my own," Molly said. Okay, so she might have had some ulterior motives but he didn't need to know that. "It would just be easier if I stayed with you, at least for the moment until we know this place isn't secretly trying to lure us in and kill us in our sleep."

[wizard4hire]

"Not completely isolated," I said, rolling my eyes. She does have a point though about living by herself. It's one thing to have your own place in the city you've grown up in and know, another to be isolated and separated from the one person you know. I'll have to think about it.

"But we'll see. Later. For now you can crash at my place tonight."

[youngpadawan]

Molly tried not to smile too much. Damsel in Distress, thy type was Harry. Really, sometimes she just wanted to hit him for it but now? She was going to use it to her advantage. Just a little, look no magic was even involved so it wasn't even that dubious.

"Is that it?" Molly asked. "I hate to are we there yet but are we there yet?"

[wizard4hire]

"Patience, grasshopper," I said, suddenly feeling like I've been tricked into something. I don't think I just agreed to something I didn't want to do, but it kind of feels like that. I hate that feeling. Nothing to be done about it now.

"Five more minutes."

It was more like 15 now, because I was going to take the scenic route there.

[youngpadawan]

"Are we being followed? You said five minutes, this is more like fifteen." Molly said, pressing her lips together to stop her voice sounding like a whine. Fifteen minutes of him being out in the open without his damn coat and-oh. Molly stopped suddenly, glancing around before she brought up a veil and hid herself out of plain view.

She made the glamour strong and made it stick so no one, not even Harry would see through it. Shrugging off his coat, she took a step closer to him before pressing the coat onto his shoulders. There that was better. And now if someone was following them he'd be safe.

[wizard4hire]

"We're not being followed, I'm just teaching you patience," I said, trying not to sound exasperated by the fact that she's not picking up on the lesson that I totally didn't tell her about, never mind that it's on me that she hasn't.

"Good thinking about the veil and the jacket though," I told her, rather impressed at her quick thinking. It wasn't the correct reading of the situation, but it was a reasonable one and the correct response to it. "Next time you should veil yourself out of sight if you can instead of just disappearing. Maybe we should think about getting you a coat too."

[youngpadawan]

"I hate patience," Molly muttered from beneath the veil, scowling a little at Harry and pulling a tongue at him where he couldn't see her. She didn't need him to think she was being a kid about this but well, she might be. "Or I could just make a duplicate Molly and have her walking and talking beside you? Or you know an image of one. I'm getting good at the whole illusion thing, kind of need a Bad Guy to plant the image in though."

[wizard4hire]

"I know, that's why I make you practice it so much. Over and over until you don't mind it. Then, once you don't mind it, I'll still make you practice it but you won't care," I told her. Patience isn't always my strong suit, but I know the importance of it so I'm okay with it. Alright, maybe not okay but I can struggle through it if I have to.

"And you should be able to cast a veil that anyone can see."

[youngpadawan]

"But that's harder," Molly said, sighing before she concentrated and cast a veil that a rather realistic looking Molly dropping a veil and walking out of the shadowsI to walk alongside Harry and the real, hidden Molly. The only difference between the magic and the real Molly was the pretend Molly didn't seem at all bothered by her erect nipples, pressing against her shirt. It was a little cold.

[wizard4hire]

"Yup, sure is," I told her. But I'm still making her do it, because she needs to be able to do it and better she practice now than later, when I start throwing stuff at her and make her do veils under extreme duress. I had to admit though, grasshopper is good at veils. Real good. Pay attention to the little details like erect nipples, good. Which is maybe too good.

[youngpadawan]

"Ass," Molly muttered under her breath. Watching Harry watch her or at least the veil version of her. Yeah, if only she could get him to look at her. That would be nice.

Approaching a building, Molly looked up before pinching Harry's hand and pressing against his side to indicate where she was in comparison to the veil her. "This it Boss? Please say yes."

[wizard4hire]

It was a cabin more than a house. Well, it was a cabin-y house that backed up to the woods and had a log-like exterior. Now that I looked at it, it was rather big, which might be a good thing if Molly stayed a while until she felt comfortable here.

"This would be home sweet mi casa."

[youngpadawan]

"Woah, who did you have to kill to get this place?" Molly asked, letting out a whistle. It was nice, it was really, really nice. Like better than something her dad would've made and her treehouse had always been the pride and talk of the street they lived on as kids. It was amazing, she could just imagine giving Harry a bl- The veil Molly parted her lips and looked at Harry hotly before the really Molly panicked and the veil disappeared sharply and suddenly. "Uh, I meant to do that. Come on Obi-Wan, let's get inside I'm freezing. You need help with the wards?"

[wizard4hire]

"Oh you know, a battalion of Storm Troopers and a guy with the ability to manipulate metal. Just your standard tenants," I said.

The fact that Maggie just handed the keys to me was definitely a less exciting story but probably spoke better of how long we'd be able to keep this place. And apparently now I was thinking of it as 'our' place. That was just great.

"Why don't you see if there's any areas you can add to them or work your own brand."

[youngpadawan]

"Sweet stolen dark side property, they always have the best views." Molly replied with a grin as she looked over the premises from the outside. Replying that she'd be right back, she bolted around the place looking for all the weak spots and the different layers in the wards. Overlaying his ward with an illusion, she pushed herself to her limit and made the entire building look dilapidated and old and abandoned. She couldn't get rid of it completely, it would show up on maps and plans but she could make it look like no one had been there in a while.

Looking exhausted, drained and tired and with the threat of a headache coming on Molly made an incoherent noise before stumbling back to Harry and trying to hold herself up to his scrutiny. "What do you think?"

[wizard4hire]

I was pretty impressed by what she had done. The illusion she had made was on a pretty big scale, way bigger and far more complex than anything I could ever hope to do. She was going to be feeling that one for a while now, no doubt about it. Still, she should be proud of it.

"Impressive," I said. "Hopefully we don't have anyone swinging by that is looking for a fixer upper. What could you have done that would have used a lot less energy? Not saying it would be a better choice, but what's an alternative for a wizard that maybe doesn't have your gift?"

A spell like I had used to get into the police station to get to the loup garou would have worked well and not taxed her so much. Just making someone see the house but not want to focus on it would have probably been better since now the house stood out, but I didn't want to burst her bubble, she had just done a hell of a major work and should be proud of it.

[youngpadawan]

"Something-" Molly yawned, scrunching her face up as she tried to shift the headache blossoming in her mind. Yeah, she was going to feel this one. "-dissuade-y. It's a word. The old Jedi Mind trick, this is not the house you are looking for muggles."

Kind of mixing her pop culture up but she was kind of exhausted magically. Lucky for her she had her very own white knight.

[wizard4hire]

"Right. You did good though, grasshopper. Why don't you go get some sleep, then we'll go shopping for clothes and supplies," I said.

She was going shopping for clothes, I'll grab some supplies when she's done. I really don't want to see how Molly selects her outfits or what she'll torture me with during the process. Actually, I know just how it would go and- no. This isn't that place, this isn't the same Molly, not exactly.

[youngpadawan]

"Mmmmhmm," Molly said, head swimming as she let Harry lead her. Following and trusting him to keep her safe before she headed towards a bedroom, pulling the shirt off over head before she'd gotten in the room properly. "Night Harry."
