[Closed] Harry

[youngpadawan]

Another streak of light flashes outside and hells bells I am ducking and covering and heading for the nearest shelter. Big brave wizard scared of an itty bitty thunder, well yeah kinda. May have caused the thunder or you know it could just have been that the spell I was working just happened to time itself to a freaking thunderstorm and hey, it isn't my fault. Yeah, I don't believe me either. Harry's going to kill me.

Solo wizardry, this is where it gets me. Okay, so I should've known better. Me and magic? It's temptation and bad things and all kinds of dark side but the spell was just there and it was so easy. And yeah all I wanted was a little bit of magic, bit of age on Harry so he'd stop treating me like a kid and now, yeah storms and I'm hoping that's all that's gone awry. Road to Faerie is paved with good intentions right?

I duck, t-shirt plastering against my skin as the rain covers me and I run heading towards home. Harry's home. He better not be in, he's going to say I told you so and all kinds. And HELLS BELLS the wards. Apprenticing 101 Take Down the Jedi Master's wards before you fry yourself alive.

I mutter a word, slinking through before raising them up behind me. Storms behind me but Harry's home is ahead. And that's safe right? I couldn't have gotten the spell that wrong, could I?

And Obi-Wan was pissed. She'd quote Yoda at him but she really did kind of feel guilty about the whole thing.

"It's Molly, my name is Molly. Molly Carpenter, you might have met my dad Michael?" Molly said, running a hand through her hair in frustration. Her shirt pulled taut around her breasts at the action, she looked at him guilty before sighing. "Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pull you into it. It was just supposed to be me. And the whole prison thing? Was not me. It's this place, me and Harry have been stuck here for a while now. That one is on the universe. And you... Harry doesn't look at me like I'm an adult. Trust me, I've tried."

"Alright, Molly, I'm sorry for blaming you for the kidnapping. Or at least the greater kidnapping of being stuck here," I told her. I'm pretty sure she's still partially responsible for the other part but since she's apologized and there's nothing to do about it I won't get into that now.

"And don't do that, don't tell me about the future. Do you not watch or read any sci fi stuff? That is a recipe to cause huge problems."

[youngpadawan]

"It's not like I'm telling you the entire plot of Star Wars Episode I." Molly said flippantly before making a face as she realised she'd just told Harry there was an episode one. "Harry, for the love of everything. Don't watch it. Just... trust me. Don't do it."

She sighed, knowing she shouldn't have told him that or this or anything. Time travel, if that was what this was, was hard. "I- what can I say? I mean, what happens if you're stuck here for a while. Are you just going to shack up in here until we figure something out? Or- what can I tell you?"

[wizard4hire]

"Don't say anything," I told her. I was pretty sure that there wasn't anything she needed to say because it wasn't risking undoing the fabric of reality or anything like that. That might not happen but with my luck I didn't want to risk it.

"Look," I said, running my fingers through my hair. "You're going to have to treat me like a stranger, not like the Harry you knew."

[youngpadawan]

"Yeah, that's pretty easy for you to say. You don't know me but I sort of know you, or the you that you will become." Molly said, making a face. This was getting entirely confusing. Molly sighed, pushing her knee against his before stretching one of her long legs out. "So, okay let's start this again. Hi, I'm Molly."

Molly held out her hand, biting her pierced lip as she flashed Harry a wry grin.

[wizard4hire]

"Hi, I'm Harry," I said, turning to shake her hand. She clearly knew that but I wasn't going to press that point. I don't want to make her think she can treat me like 'her' Harry because that's just far, far too weird for me and could get into a lot of trouble with her assuming things that will cause problems.

"Nice to meet you, I guess."
