Harry in London

*Loosely inspired by the British Miniseries The Bodyguard. Cameo appearance by Richard Madden’s streak of gray hair. Explicit language and some sexual references.

We had passed each other many many times. I think I even spoke a few brief words to him here and there, polite greetings and the like. In this way it was strange then to feel like I had seen him for the first time. “Sarge,” I had heard some of the other security call him. I wasn’t particularly familiar with British Policing but he did seem to be the one that others reported to on our security detail even though he worked along side them.

I was uncomfortable with the idea of personal security at first, unsure why an international consort of social welfare experts needed such a thing, until we encountered our first protest. It turned out that almost every political platform could find a reason to disagree with this initiative. There were complaints about taking British social practicum into the international sphere, disagreements about our inclusion of family planning and safeguards sensitive to immigrant welfare. The list never stopped. A few weeks into our stay we learned that there were also death threats targeted at several of us individually. That was when I first officially met Sergeant Collins. They started the day off by pairing each of us with a personal protection officer who, from that time forward, would be with us from the moment we stepped out of our residences till we returned there in the evenings. The Sergeant had stepped toward me, introducing himself and I did the same in return, putting on a display of politeness but distracted by the work we had yet to do that day.

At lunch, I dragged myself down to the lower floor courtyard, a paper cup of coffee steaming in one hand and a pack of cigarettes in the other. I lowered myself to the ground against the wall, sloshing coffee over my fingers. “Fuck,” I muttered, remembering suddenly that I had a horrid headache. I set the cup down on my right side and tossed the pack of cigarettes down next to them. I wiped my stinging hand on the fabric of my black pants and drew my knees up so that I could rest my head on them for a few moments.

“Are you all right Ma’am?” An emotionless voice said. I looked up, startled that I was not alone as I had thought. The sturdy figure of Sergeant Collins stood in the doorway of the courtyard. I took another deep breath, this one a little more exaggerated than the last and rolled my eyes up at him.

“Yes Sergeant, I’m fine thanks. It’s just been a long day, and it’s not nearly over, ” I said on an exhale. I brought the cup of coffee to my lips and took a heavenly sip of the dark brown liquid. I had the forethought to pack my old dorm coffee pot from so many years ago, anticipating a lack of American style coffee in work spaces, and I had been right. Tea and instant coffee would not get me through these high stress days, and so I brought my own solution, something I was well known for and one of the reasons I had the honor of serving on this initiative. Though I did receive my fair share of ribbing based on my very Southern American preference for black drip coffee.

“Are you allowed to sit while on duty Sergeant?” I asked, inviting him to join me with a nod of my head.

“Sometimes, Ma’am, if it’s appropriate.”

“What would make this an appropriate time for you to sit next to me?” I asked taking another sip of coffee.

“Well Ma’am, firstly if I’m not interfering with your work duties or personal wishes, and secondly if it is advantageous or inconsequential to your physical safety.” I had never heard him string that many words together, and I was startled by the brusk Scottish tone of his voice.

I raised an eyebrow at him. “Well we are still within a secure government building and I am inviting you to join me because it’s weird for you to stand over me. Is that sufficient reason for you to join me?”

Interestingly, he cracked a smile at me and then took a few measured steps toward me and lowered himself to the ground. I noticed the special care he took in making sure his fire arm was still safely holstered in the belt at his waist. He kept a professional distance between us, but it was the closest we had ever been to one another besides the few times he held car doors open for me.

I studied his form. From far away all of the PPOs looked put together and slick, but up close he looked uncomfortable and lumpy. He wore a well tailored suit, but there was an intercom wire attached to his collar and threaded down the back of his shirt and clipped onto his trousers. He also had an ear piece in the left ear, which was closest to me. His chest was unusually stiff and wide, which led me to assume he had a bullet proof vest under his crisp white collared shirt.

“Want a smoke? I asked, offering him the pack.” He shook his head.

“No thank you, Ma’am.” So I dropped the pack again. Instead I held out my hand to him.

“Lucy, I’d rather you call me Lucy, at least when we are alone,” I said to him. Hesitating only for a moment, he took the hand I offered and shook it twice firmly.

“Harry,” he replied. Our movements stirred the air just a bit and the faintly masculine scent of old spice teased my nostrils. I turned to face forward again so that I wouldn’t stare too hard at him. I had assumed that he was middle aged because he was the Sergeant, but up close he appeared to be in his early thirties. “Don’t let me interrupt you Ma’am, go and have your smoke.”

“I don’t smoke,” I replied and we both fell silent.

Finishing my cup of coffee, I rose and dusted myself off as I waited for Sergeant Collins to check the door and open it for me.

The day faded to late afternoon and then into early evening. Much of the day had been set aside for meetings and I was throughly spent. Our final decisions were made for the day around six and I was already thinking about what I would make for dinner and coaxing myself into believing that I had enough energy for a short workout as well.

As we filed out of the conference room I sought the dark shape of Sergeant Collins amidst the line up of PPOs. He nodded to me and stayed where he was, patiently waiting for the halls to clear before moving toward me.

“You mind if we take the stairs instead of the lift?” I asked. He spoke a few words into his collar and then waited while I assumed someone was responding through the receiver in his ear. I was about to interject that if it was any trouble we could just take the lift, but he nodded in assent and we headed the opposite way down the hall from the cluster waiting for their turn down to the ground floor.

I was itching to get some of the wiggles out after being seated for so long and I relished the faint strains on my quads as we made our way down the five flights of stairs. It is hard to explain what happened next, my brain recalls only fragments of it at a time. I remember bursting out of the stairwell and into the building lobby slightly out of breath and then being tackled by a huge mass behind me. I hit the ground hard, slamming my jaw on the tile floor and I felt my knee pop. All around me there was a deafening noise and an abrupt wave of heat followed by screams and the hectic whining of the fire alarms.

“Lucy… Lucy!” I heard in my ear, “can you hear me?” I nodded, realizing that the heavy weight on top of me was Sergeant Collins. “Stay here, don’t move at all, I am going to assess the situation and then come back for you. I won’t be long.” I felt the weight shift and then lighten as he rolled off of me and staggered to his feet.

I stayed there, inhaling thick smoke, systematically wiggling each of my body parts. As far as I could tell I was in one piece.

A few moments later a strong hand reached down and grabbed my arm. Startled, I tried to wriggle out of the grip. “It’s me Ma’am,” Harrys voice cut through the smoke and alarm bells. “Come, there is a car waiting out the back entrance. Can you stand?” I scrambled to my feet, wincing at a sharp pain in my knee but gritted my teeth and allowed the Sergeant to guide me back into the stairwell and through a series of emergency exit doors. Hesitating just inside the final door, Sgt. Collins spoke into his collar, waiting for some kind of signal before he stepped out into the fresh air. From my vantage point behind the Sergeant I was still able to see a black SUV pull up and brake hard a few meters away from our exit. As it halted abruptly, the back door swung open and another PPO got out and made a signal in our direction. Sgt. Collins gripped my arm and ushered me out into the cool air. We walked quickly to the vehicle and I climbed in, Sargent Collins following me into the back seat.

“Ma’am,” a sturdy female voice caught my attention from the driver seat, “have you any need for emergency medical assistance?” I blinked a few times, unsure of what to say.

“Um, I don’t think so. I’m a little battered but I don’t think I’ve got anything major thats wrong.”

“In that case, we will drop you off at your safe house. A detail has been sent to screen your belongings for hazards and then they will be brought to you at your new location.” I nodded, unsure of how one was supposed to react in a situation like this. “Sometimes you don't notice you are hurt until the shock wears off,” she continued, “Sergeant Collins has the appropriate training to treat any minor injuries you may discover you have and a trip to the doctor can be arranged for tonight or tomorrow if that becomes necessary.”

The rest of the ride was quiet. I had no idea where we were, although I was still unfamiliar with London in general. Finally the vehicle glided to a stop and Sgt. Collins stepped out and held the door for me. It was now too dark to see anything and there were no lights on the outside of house, just the headlights from the SUV. Collins stopped me at the front door and he proceeded to check each room, shouting “clear,” as he finished his inspection of each one. Finally he returned to the front door. “Ma’am, it is safe for you to go in now. I will be waiting here with you at least for the time being. Would you prefer it if we arranged for a female officer to stay with you over night?”

“Um, no, I trust you, it is fine, I just want to be as little trouble as I can,” I replied hearing an unfamiliar tremor in my voice. Sergeant moved aside, allowing me access to the interior of the house. I wandered through the little rooms without much purpose while the two PPOs spoke quietly to each other on the front stoop.

I managed to find a few light switches and flipped them on. There was a kitchen and dining room all in one with a sitting area just beyond and a short hallway that I gathered led to a bedroom. I went to the dining table and pulled out a wooden chair and sat down. In the light I noticed that I had little scratches all over my arms and my clothes had small holes in them. There wasn’t a lot of blood but there was enough that I felt my hands tremble as I felt around, trying to locate the source of it.

I didn’t notice that Harry had come into the house till he pulled out a second dining chair and sat across from me. His clothes were torn similarly to mine, and I could see that he had a nice sized cut on his eyebrow. “You’ve got a few cuts on your face,” he said to me. “May I bandage them?”

“What happened?” I asked, ignoring his question.

He sighed and leaned forward, putting his elbows on his knees. “Someone detonated a bomb.” Pausing, he looked at me, waiting for my response. I had assumed as much, I mean, I had heard it, felt the blast, if just the very outer bit. So I returned his gaze, though I suspected my eyes were a bit harder than his. “I don’t have many details, I expect you will be debriefed in the morning.” He sat back, sighing.

“What do you think though?” I asked. He shifted, pulling at his shirt like he was just noticing the warmth of the room.

“I can’t confir-“

“I know,” I cut him off, “but what do you think?”

He was silent for a moment, meeting my cold stare again before he finally replied. “I think if they wanted all of you dead you would be.” He stood and turned his back on me, reaching into a cabinet and pulling out a bottle of brown liquid. From the drying rack he took two glasses and poured a little liquid into each of them. “This was hate mail, not attempted assassination.” He placed a glass on the table in front of me. I picked it up gingerly, half expecting it to blow up in my face as well.

“So what happens next?” I asked quietly. The Sergeant let out a sigh and met my gaze as he downed the contents of his glass. Closing my eyes for just a moment, I did the same.

We remained silent as he then proceeded to inspect my injuries. Though I insisted I was uninjured, as my shock faded, it was replaced by a dull ache in my jaw and a sharp pain in my knee any time I tried to put weight on it. He stuck a few bandaids on my face and gave me some paracetamol which I washed down with another shot of whiskey. He showed me the bathroom and the spare clothes already laid out in the bedroom.

“What about you?” I asked stopping him in the doorway of the small bathroom.

“Ma’am?”

“Lucy, please,” I said without thinking. He looked straight ahead, just over my hairline, as if that mask of professionalism would erase the intimacy of our now entangled reality. “You are bleeding, may I clean your cuts?” I stared at his face, willing him to look at me. Finally he looked down and met my gaze, his eyes softened.

“Thank you, Lucy.” So we returned to the kitchen where the first aid kit still lay open on the table. He sat down as he had before and I fumbled with an alcohol swab determined to stop my hands from shaking. I could feel him watching me and my frustration grew as hot wet tears squeezed out of my eyes unbidden and unnecessary.

And then his warm hands were covering mine, stilling them. His touch calmed me and I drew in a slow breath. I remembered how far from home I was, how alone, only working and working.

My gaze settled again on the Sergeant, who, I noticed, was still wearing his suit jacket which was badly shredded, since he had weathered most of the impact from the explosion.

“You don’t know me,” I said, my brow creasing as I dabbed at a cut on his forehead.

“I’m sorry, I don’t follow.”

“Why would you put your life in danger for someone you don’t know?”

“It’s my job.”

“But what about your family?”

“I don’t have any.” I paused my barrage of questions.

“But what if I’m a bad person, you don’t know me. Why would you risk your life for someone you don’t know?”

“It’s my job.”

The tears were flowing freely down my cheeks now. “And if someone was shooting at me, what would you do?”

“I would move you out of the line of fire, using my own body if I had to.”

I let out a sob and I sank to my knees on the ground, he followed. Blinded by the moisture in my eyes I grappled with his jacket, trying to tear it off. “I want to see it,” I spat through my soggy tears. “Let me see your vest.” He had been trying to still my hands, but at this demand he released my wrists and helped me pull off his jacket and held still while I fought with the buttons on his well tailored but now ragged shirt. Finally they were all undone and I couldn’t really recall what it was that I had intended to do, so I placed my hands on the hard surface of his ballistic vest. It was white and started high up on his chest. I started there, running my fingers over the top seam of the thick material, then I followed it out, to where it ended on his taught shoulder muscles, and then tapered down just below the bottom of his rib cage. I circled my arms around him so that I could feel the back side of it as well. Realizing that I was looking for punctures in the material. I found what I had been dreading close to his left shoulder blade, a shard of glass dug in deep. I pulled and pulled but it wouldn’t come out. Finally I felt his body resisting me and I sat back on my knees.

Not breaking eye contact with me he undid the velcro under each arm and lifted the vest over his head.

I jumped at the knock on the door. “Stay here Ma’am.” Harry said, resuming his professional tone, despite being dressed in only an undershirt and his slacks.

It was the other PPO from earlier arrived with a medic who checked the work that Harry had done on me, providing a knee brace that I should wear when I needed to move around. After that I excused myself and took a long hot shower.

…

I awoke slowly the next morning, my mind fuzzy and my body sore. Shifting uncomfortably in an unfamiliar bed, I slowly recalled the events of the night before. Eventually I thought to check the time but could not locate my phone anywhere. Easing out of bed I searched the unfamiliar room but to no avail. I thought it might be in the kitchen where we had first sat upon arriving, I made for the door but realized just in time that I was dressed only in a large t shirt, no pants and no bra. Turning to face the room again, I saw only my clothes from the night previously strewn about the floor, which were in tatters and covered in blood.

I saw a towel draped over a chair so I grabbed it and wrapped it around me. Tiptoeing down the hall, I made my way to the living room area. Harry was sitting in a lounge chair, looking not at all relaxed as he stared at a tv screen showing footage of a building up in flames. Fascinated by the violence of the black smoke and the red fire, I moved closer. “God, is the building even still standing?” I muttered, and was surprised at how quickly he stood and turned around. I must have been quite a sight, because he relaxed when he saw me standing there pitifully wrapped in a towel still damp from the night before.

“Good Morning,” he said. “Your things were delivered earlier this morning. They are in the kitchen.” I swiveled to see three half full black garbage bags sitting on the kitchen floor. I moved towards them. “You may want to put on something comfortable,” he said to my back, “you can’t go in to work today.” I gave him no sign I had heard what he said, but I rummaged through my now rumpled clothes and came out with a pair of dark wash jeans and a light knit sweater.

I returned to the bedroom to make myself presentable. I peered into the floor length mirror and frowned. The left side of my face looked like I had been sprayed with brown paint from the micro cuts that had sliced into my skin. I also had a growing dark splotch under my right eye which I expected would bloom into a full on shiner by the end of the day. My shoulder length black hair was frizzy and knotted, but I didn’t know where my brush was so I ran my fingers through it a few times before giving up, not wanting to look at my damaged face anymore.

Harry had said I couldn’t go to work today, so I suspected the next best thing to do was to make coffee. I nosed around in the kitchen, unsurprised to find that there was no coffee maker, just a kettle and a half of a tin of brittle brown pebbles. Happy to grumble about something normal, I set the kettle to boil and located the cupboard of mugs. As I waited I recalled that I had originally come out to look for my phone.

“Sergeant, have you seen my phone lying anywhere? I’m not sure what happened to it last night.” There was a sound of old creaking wood as he rose from his position in front of the news and joined me in the small kitchen area. We each retraced our movements the night before but to no avail. During our search I couldn’t help but notice again his various scrapes and bruises. There was a long gash that went up into his hairline as well as some of the smattering of tiny cuts that I had on my face, but his were thicker and though his new crisp white collared shirt obscured his torso, I guessed that they continued down his arms and neck.

“Its likely it didn’t make it out of the building,” he said. We discussed this possibility and I realized that if my phone didn’t make it out, neither did my wallet or passport. After a number of expletives on my part, he excused himself to make a call.

The kettle boiled while he was out and so I poured out two steaming cup fulls of hot water. In one I spooned a few sad lumps of brown instant coffee and in the other I plopped a tea bag, a drop of milk and one sugar.

“Okay,” he said, reentering the house and bolting the door behind him. “Here’s the plan, someone will be brought over from the American embassy to take some information from you and they will hopefully be able to get you a new passport by the end of the week. My colleague from last night, will also be returning to take our statements about the events yesterday.” I nodded and handed him the mug of tea. He took it from me with a lift of his eyebrow and brought it close, as if inspecting it. Then he sipped it, his face changing to amusement. “How did you know how to fix my tea?” He asked.

I just shrugged, “What? You think you are the only one who notices details? I’ve got nothing better to pay attention to during all those long winded meetings than what happens at the tea station.” I sipped the dark sludge in my cup.

He nodded as he took another sip.

The embassy clerk came first, looking a bit wide eyed at the two of us, reminding me again how close we had come to death. I gave him all the information I had and we coordinated for the rest of it to be sent to the embassy from the United States. The fidgety man assured me that it would all be processed as quickly as possible and that I should expect new papers by Friday. I stood to shake his hand and then Sgt. Collins showed him out and watched the armored vehicle leave.

The other PPOs arrived not long after, bringing gifts. The woman PPO who had driven us here the night before, Davis, I think was her name, arrived with large cups of real coffee and a bag of groceries, on the very top of which was a box of croissants. She set it all down on the table and slid a coffee over to me as well as a croissant. I ate and she and Sergeant chatted for a while till I was done. Sensing a shift in the atmosphere, she turned to me and laid out the situation as they understood it to this point.

I was the only international on the task force that had not been hospitalized, likely because they had targeted a spot close to the elevator, not the stairwell. One of my colleagues was in critical condition but stable and all the others were suffering from topical injuries such as burns and shrapnel and all were expected to recover. I was to continue to remain in this safe house for several more days as an investigation took place. Sergeant Collins would remain as my PPO as long as I was comfortable with that. A new cell phone and any other equipment I would require would be provided to me.

I gave her my statement and Sgt. Collins retreated outside with her for quite a while. While they were away I dug into the bag she had brought. There were a few groceries as well as a chocolate bar, a bottle of wine and a pack of cigarettes. I studied the box of smokes, curious about why she had thought to include them.

…

It had been a while since I had done absolutely nothing. Idleness never looked good on me. I had picked over the sparse book shelf several times already that morning, finding only two novels that looked palatable, only to discover they were too smutty to stomach in my current state of emotional and physical frailty. I had unpacked my things in the small bedroom at the back of the house and then reorganized them.

Mid-afternoon, a gentle rain settled over the house and I finally sunk into a chair in the kitchen. My knee was throbbing so I hobbled to the freezer and found a pack of frozen mixed vegetables that I laid on my knee. The PPO agent had offered to get me set up to work from this location immediately but warned that no one else was up to it, so I told her to get me connected whenever the rest were healthy enough to begin working again. Sergeant had left for a few hours earlier and Davis remained in his place. He had returned with a neat little overnight bag hanging from his shoulder. The rest of the time he either lingered next to the door, muttering into his earpiece or he would pace in a loop around the kitchen and living room. He didn’t speak to me really, but now in this small space together, it was hard to ignore him. And it felt silly.

“Are you allowed to sleep while you are on this assignment Sergeant?” I inquired when I finally couldn’t take the pacing any longer.

“Of course Ma’am,” he replied, turning to give me his full attention.

I nodded, “Then is there a second room for you somewhere that I missed?”

Resuming his mantle of professionalism, he raised his gaze to just above my hairline, “no Ma’am, we did not have a house available at this time that is more suitable to the situation.” He didn’t answer the question.

“So where do you sleep?”

Still gazing beyond my head, “On the couch Ma’am.”

I closed my eyes and sighed. “I know you will refuse, but I just want you to know that I would gladly give up the room for you.”

“Thank you Ma’am, thats very kind.”

“I mean, you did all the hard work, you did your job for sure, kept me safe, had to react under severe stress…” My words faded away, I wasn’t communicating what I was trying to. Sergeant remained standing at attention as I floundered to gather my thoughts. “Why did officer Davis bring a pack of cigarettes if neither of us smokes?” I blurted finally.

Sergeant Collins raised that one eyebrow again and if I wasn’t mistaken, a faint look of amusement settled on his face. “Ma’am, she brought them because you have led everyone to believe that you are a smoker.” I continued to look at him quizzically, so he continued, “When I was first assigned to you I was briefed that you took up to four smoke breaks a day.”

“Oh right,” I had discovered within the first week of working in London that only the smokers ever actually got fresh air during the day, everyone else took their lunches and breaks in sad corners of the break rooms or at their desks. So I had walked down to a corner store and purchased a pack of cigarettes, and like magic, any time I wished to be left alone, I would grab it and make my way to the courtyard. The Sergeant was the only person who knew I never actually smoked any of the cigarettes. I lifted the pack off of the table, “Any chance I can scoot out the back while I smoke one of these?” I swear, I could hear him itching to roll his eyes, but he gamely refrained.

“Of corse, Ma’am.” So he did a quick sweep of the fenced in garden at the back door and then stood aside to let me out. It was still gently sprinkling but I was happy for it. The back stoop was covered so I sat there, rubbing my hands up and down my arms, having forgotten that it was late November. This back garden had a lovely peaceful, very English feeling that I hadn’t ever gotten in the flat I was provided in the center of London. There were some over grown roses climbing up a disheveled trellis in one corner, a few garden chairs and a little table on the other side. Acting on a whim I stood and stretched, reaching my hand out to test the rain. The sky was darkening and the drops grew more frequent. I stepped out from under the back stoop, hobbled to the center of the small yard, feeling the drops plop onto the back of my neck, I stood there unmoving, waiting for the steady fall of rain to penetrate my clothes and shock my system with their cool wetness.

It felt good on my face, cooling the skin that was scabbing over. As the water ran over me I remembered the weight of my arms, my head, my back and legs. I breathed slowly, aware of the small stream of water running off the tip of my nose. I didn’t hear him move closer, but his warm hand on my shoulder did not make me jump. I noticed he had a days worth of stubble on his cheeks and neck, already obscuring some of the scabbing on his face. And the rain caught and was lost in his dark curly hair, a streak of it already greying on the left side of his head. I had a sudden urge to touch that streak of hair. I wondered what he would do if I did.

“Come inside, Ma’am, you’re getting wet.”

“I prefer it to the heat,” I replied.

“Ma’am, really I insist.”

“I can’t,” I said, exasperated and wanting to be left alone.

“I’m also getting wet Ma’am, please can we go inside.” I tilted my head, gazing at him through the sides of my eyes, enthralled both by his dark silky voice and by what he said. What did he think he knew about me that would make me more inclined to save him discomfort than myself? So I asked him.

“Am I really that persuadable?”

“Sorry, Ma’am?”

“You think I will value your discomfort over what I need?”

“Is that so, Ma’am?” He asked, evading my query with his own. I watched the rain falling heavily on him now. His hair was flattening and streams of water poured off the hems of his jacket. I imagined his shoes were filling with water also.

I sighed, “Fuck, I guess so.” Turning away from him I moved toward the door.

As I reached the cover of the stoop I pulled the now drenched sweater over my head, realizing too late that I was not wearing a shirt underneath. My eyes widened and I glanced at the Sergeant who was behind me. At my look he turned around quickly, allowing me a moment of privacy to right myself. I rung my sweater out and bounded inside the little house, closing and locking the door to the bedroom, which I was now ashamed to have since I knew the Sergeant was confined to the couch.

I took my time slipping into some stretchy leggings and a loose fitting shirt. I noticed in the long mirror that my hurt knee was much larger than the other one and I winced as I pressed on it. I hobbled back down the hallway, intent on the bottle of paracetamol in the kitchen. Rounding the corner my eyes were arrested by the half naked figure standing in the living room. I stepped back into the hallway quickly, not wanting another awkward encounter with Harry, but it was too late, he had already heard me and turned to look at me.

“Apologies, Ma’am, I thought you would be in there a while.”

“Oh, no,” I said hurriedly, my voice too high, “This is your space, after all. I should have given you more warning.”

“Not at all Ma’am,” he replied stiffly as he pulled a tight shirt over his head, obscuring his torso. But he wasn’t fast enough to keep me from noticing the marks and scars all over his back. I hadn’t looked very hard, but while some appeared to be from our recent bombing, others looked like long healed scars from some other event in his life. My gaze slipped to the kitchen as the kettle whistled.

“Ah, I was making tea,” he said, walking over to the stove and cutting the fire. “Fancy a cuppa?” He asked, already filling two mugs with steaming water. I joined him in the kitchen, sitting with my aching knee propped up on a second chair. “How do you take it?”

“Just milk.” I said, gritting my teeth as I massaged my knee gingerly. He placed the cup in front of me and remained leaning against the counter top.

“May I check it?” He asked, nodding at my swollen knee. I nodded in unperturbed assent. He swiftly but carefully lifted my leg high enough that he could slip into the chair I had propped it on. He sat so that my calf way strewn across his lap. I quieted my breathing as he poked and prodded at my poor knee.

“What are you looking for?” I asked in a gasp, realizing I hadn’t been breathing.

“I’m just checking again to make sure there are no obvious fractures or a dislocation.”

“Do you think I need to see a doctor?”

“I am going to schedule an appointment for tomorrow.”

“I’m sorry I ruined your suit,” I said.

He raised an eyebrow at me. “Not at all, Ma’am, it’s my job.”

“Please call me Lucy,” I said. He opened his mouth to respond so I cut him off quickly, “I mean you saved me from a fucking bomb, you’ve at least earned that. It’s so weird you have to call the people you guard Sir and Ma’am, I’m not your boss, just the pathetic person who can’t look after herself.”

He was outright smiling now. “Well Lucy, I have no doubt you can look after yourself, I’m here so that you can focus on other things the rest of us aren’t bright enough to deal with.” I was transfixed by the hollow of his collar bone, the way the skin over it stretched when he breathed and spoke. And his hands were still on my leg, one of them on the rounded part of my calf, the other just barely above my knee. “And while I officially have no opinion on the matter,” he leaned in conspiratorially, “I appreciate your American sense of earning respect rather than inheriting it, something the Scots and the Yanks have in common.”

His hands moved over my leg, a non invasive gesture meant to be reassuring but the touch made my stomach flip. We sat amicably like this for a while, sipping tea and listening to light rain hitting the low roof of the house.

“Now,” Harry continued, “shall we take another smoke break?” The sun had sunk low in the sky and the light appeared orange in the still cloud filled sky.

“Sure, but only if you promise not to follow me into the rain this time,” I made a funny noise as I hoisted myself into a standing position.

“I can’t do that Lucy.”

“Then I guess we are both lucky it has stopped raining.”

…

This time we sat closer together, squeezed beside one another on a single step of the back stoop, taking in the bright cool air the rain had pushed in. Harry had given me more paracetamol by orders of the doctor I was to see the next morning and it was making me a bit drowsy. I yawned and felt my body lean into Harry’s sturdy form.

“Shall we go back inside?” He whispered, I grunted in the negative. Now only half conscious, I thought I felt a rumbling laughter in his chest and then an arm slip behind me as my muscles loosened and relaxed.

And then I was floating, my feet weren’t moving but I was gliding down the hallway to the bedroom. I opened my eyes and looked up to see Harrys stubbly jaw looming over me. Was he carrying me? I didn’t want to throw his balance so I remained still as he negotiated the door gracefully and laid me out on the edge of the bed. As he leaned over me, I reached up and grabbed a handful of his stretchy shirt material. He hovered above me, waiting patiently.

“Stay,” I whispered. To which he shook his head and began to pull away. So I pulled again and he let me, remaining suspended above me.

“You know I can’t,” he said.

“I just don’t think I can stand to be alone right now. Please stay.” The words were difficult for me and I avoided his gaze. He sighed heavily. I sat up slowly, still groggy, “you said you would follow me into the rain.” My hand bunched tighter into his shirt, dreading the moment he would move away from me.

He sighed one last time then knelt down, removing his shoes with a resigned expression. Straightening again he sent me a defeated look. Then gracefully, he climbed over me and gingerly laid in the center of the bed, leaving a wide gap between us. We laid on our sides facing each other, his head at the height of my shoulders. Again I had the urge to stroke that streak of grey in his hair, and so I did. Tenderly, Harry ran his hand along the silhouette of my body, starting at my ear and moving down to my shoulder and side and finally stopping on my hip.

We were magnetic as we moved closer to each other. I pulled his head into the safety of my chest, his stubble a raspy comfort against my skin and our legs entangled. In silence we lay there, feeling each other breathe. We may have fallen asleep though the line between consciousness and unconsciousness was not immediately apparent. After a long while he stirred and rolled off the far side of the bed, making his way to the toilet.

When he returned he paused and removed his shirt, letting it fall to the ground before again joining me. As he lay back down I shifted, laying my head on his torso. He was very warm and I put my ear to his chest, listening for all the sounds a body makes as it works to keep living. “Am I hurting you?” I asked quietly.

“No,” he whispered, running his hands down my body again till they found my bottom. I propped myself up above him on my elbows, caressing the recent bruises and wounds, tenderly tracing the old scars.

“Tell me about Scotland,” I said.

“Hmm, what do you want to know about Scotland?” He returned.

“Only the good bits,” I said. He smiled gently as he coaxed my good leg up, bending it around his hip in a sort of half straddle and I lowered myself again to his chest. I listened to his stories about a lush green land of great promise and adventure as the words carelessly rumbled out of him.

…

I hadn’t expected to be so jumpy when I got in the security vehicle. I got in and slid to the very center seat, a hand planted firmly on each side of me. I stared straight ahead the whole time, ignoring the dizziness from the sharp turns.

The consult from the doctor confirmed there was nothing broken, but the hard fall had slightly dislocated my knee which was promptly reset and I was warned that it would take several weeks to heal. I was sent home with a heavier brace and instructions to take over the counter pain meds for swelling.

We returned to the house and were met with a second security detail that had come with equipment for me to work remotely. I dove into it with manic energy. Indeed there was little that could be done as the other internationals were still recovering from burn trauma. So I prepped all the materials I could think of that we would need in order to resume our work. Harry placed a cup of tea next to me which I drank, but I ignored the lunch delivery, feeling like my eyes and hands could not keep up with the speed at which my brain was moving.

“Ma’am,” I heard someone say from far away. “Lucy,” who was that? “Lucy!” I flinched when Harry’s hand touched my shoulder. “Perhaps you might take a break now, you haven’t eaten at all today.”

“No, no I have to get this done,” I replied, turning back to the computer.

“It is common to feel strong bursts of energy and fatigue after an event like the bombing,” he continued.

“Really?” I continued to stab at the keyboard. “Then I guess I’m fine, if this is a common reaction.”

“It’s common, it’s not fine.”

I slammed the laptop shut, pushing the heels of my hands into my temples, God my head hurt. My chest heaved with sobs. I felt him move closer but I needed air, space, I lashed out, feeling my hand connect with his ballistic vest.

I took off down the hall toward the bathroom, seeking a place he couldn’t follow me. But he caught up with me, securing his arms around my shoulders, immobilizing my arms. I continued to sob for several minutes. He continued to hold me like this till I quieted and stopped fighting and sagged weakly against him.

“What do you say we get some food and water in you now?” I nodded and we returned to the kitchen. I ate ravenously, with Harry looking on like a cafeteria lady from grade school, making sure I ate all my greens.

“Why do I still feel out of control?” I asked, “Why can’t I just move on?”

“Well it hasn’t been that long, barely two days. If anything I’d say your actions today are very much fitting with the magnitude of the event. In fact you probably deserve a few more temper tantrums.” He looked at me and valiantly fought off a smile. I stabbed a tomato with my fork and pouted, not quit ready for joking yet.

I narrowed my eyes at him thoughtfully. “Clearly you have been in situations like this before.”

“Clearly,” he repeated back.

“So when should I expect you to throw a tantrum?”

“Probably not this time, but I have before.”

“Why is this not hard for you?”

He sighed, “in my perspective, we did it, we survived. That’s not always the case. I did my job well and I am continuing to keep you safe.” He leaned over and touched my hand. “It’s a win.” He leaned back in his chair.

I stood abruptly, taking the few steps to where he sat. He didn’t move, just looked at me, challenging me. I moved even closer, my legs now straddling his lap. I thought he would again assume that distant look and excuse himself, but instead his hands reached up, urging me down closer to him. I sat, wrapping my arms around his neck and he brought his head close to mine, our foreheads touching.

“I don’t think this is keeping you safe,” he murmured to me.

“It’s hard to tell what is safe,” I mumbled.

“So for now all we can do is react.” I made a noise of agreement as our lips connected. We pulled each other in closer, unable to touch enough, to feel enough. His lips were searching and needy. Never had I needed to be touched so badly. I wanted to be shielded by him and yet I wanted to draw him in tighter, protecting him from the dangers he saw every day.

His lips moved lower, caressing my neck and collar bone as I wrestled his jacket and shirt off his body. I kept removing layers till there were no more to remove. He responded in kind, lifting my shirt over my head then drawing me close to him in a warm embrace, like he wanted to cover me completely. “Harry,” I whispered after several long seconds. Then again, “Harry,” and he responded.

“Lucy.”

Pulling out of his arms, I stood and stepped away. “I want this, I want you, and I don’t want either of us to have regrets.”

He rose out of his chair gracefully, stepping close to me. “I cannot regret any time with you.”

“And tomorrow? In a week? When I have finished this job?” I gulped, bile rising in my stomach just thinking about leaving.

“I don’t think I can let you go.”

“Will you take me to Scotland?” I asked as I wrapped my arms around his waist. He leaned his forehead against mine, “Only if you let me stand in the rain with you.”

(Music playing because of spoilers)

Tom: so again.. we’re on set

Harry: yeah i had to uhhm..

(Music playing because of spoilers)

Dom: good now that thats resolved.. yeah the brothers trust.. when we founded it we sort of had the idea that we would shine a light on charities that perhaps dont get the publicity that big charities can generate and also we wanted to use charities that uhhmm are very sort of cost effective, that most of our money very muscular .. yeah most of the money goes to the recipients rather than the offices in London or the offices in New York the big sort of have main things that we didn’t want the money spent on and .. one of the charities is lunch bowl and (points at Harry) and you’ve just been to Kabira so ..

Tom: .. (to harry) you do all the cool trips …

Harry: i went to uhhm .. Kabila which is the second largest slum in sub-Saharan Africa and is the place of the charity that we support, lunch bowl.. and what lunch bowl does is .. that they have a nursery and now a primary school slash secondary school its about half and half .. and they basically take kids out of the slum .. everyday and then provide with school and the on Saturday’s i believe it is they have a feeding program within the slum where they have 300 kids come to the middle of Kabira and they feed 300 children yeah .. and they give them food and a sachet of milk and then on sunday they have rugby so ..

Tom.. they play rugby?..

Dom: yeah they've choaches ..

Harry: they have these coaches that come ..

Sam: we bought one of the buses ..

Harry; yeah one of the things that the brothers trust is .. we bought a bus which when i heard about that was like one.. they needed a bus .. but really, the rugby ground is five kilometers from kabira … and what happens is .. the bus is completely full.. its completely full .. like its to the point where there’s too many kids on the bus all the seats got two kids and then what happens is .. when i was there i saw like 20 kids at the gate of the rugby.. and they’re just outside the gate waiting and then we went over with the head coach and he was like.. explains to me .. these kids have walked 2 hours.. like in bare foot, to come and play rugby and then they get a meal afterwards.. and then another thing that the bus does is take the kids from Kabira to the new secondary school and .. and i think the reason it’s so great is the.. uhhm the chance of a child making it to five years old is 50% so you’re talking about like the flip of a coin, so taking a child out of Kabira for a day, for eight hours, ten hours of the day, drastically improves the chances of ..

Tom: .. of Survival ..

Harry; .. of Survival ..

Dom: wauw ..

Sam: .. Cause mum was telling that during their holiday they get really upset cause they miss school ..

Harry: .. and they they say that the teachers can tell a massive change in behavior when they come back after holiday ..

Tom: really..

Harry: .. yes for these kids going to school is like ..it’s like heaven

Dom: and what they to do in Kabira is what we take for granted, we have school from say 4 to 18 mandatory free for us in Britain England and what we trying to do is to give these kids a chance to become educated ..

Harry: well .. they.. so they used to have this school, it went from i think, it was like 2 to 6 which is great but it’s not great because when their kid finishes at 6 years old where're they gonna go.. only go back to the slum, so now that it goes up to 15 they’ve only started out that last year .. is so massive for them because they can take a child from 2 years old to 15 and make a really shaped the personale ..

Newt and Theseus fanfic. written by boyfriend

Newt looked at his brother as he slept. It had been 24 hrs since the battle in Paris and everyone was exhausted, beaten and broken in different ways. They had barely gotten to Hogwarts in one piece as they stood on the bridge watching Dumbledore walk toward them. They had all been given rooms to sleep in even though everyone mostly stayed awake since closing their eyes meant going straight back to the graveyard and reliving the nightmare all over again with different deadly results. Newt’s dreams mostly always included Theseus dying in the blue flame or his brother getting it with a curse and dying in his arms over and over again. Every time Newt woke up drenched in sweat, breathing hard and glancing over to the bed next to him to make sure that Theseus was in fact still there alive and breathing. Since everyone was having issues sleeping Dumbledore had ordered them all to take the dreamless potion so that it was possible to get much needed rest or else they would be useless to themselves and the people around them.

Newt never liked the potion and secretly was able to avoid not taking it which was the reason for him standing near his brothers bed watching him sleep. Grindelwald was coming after them and Dumbledore said it had to be him that could go up against him. Newt needed a plan and to get as much information as possible in order to do exactly that and protect the people he loved most. Those people were Theseus, Tina and Jacob who even though he was a muggle he was Newt’s friend and deserved to be protected. He didn’t want anyone else to get hurt or die because Grindelwald was after him or so was the threat that he had whispered in his ear before disappearing into the night as Newt and everyone stopped the blue curse from destroying Paris. Newt placed his case of creatures next to his brother praying to merlin they would be safe. He didn’t want Grindelwald to get the case and Newt had to go to his apartment to protect the creatures in his basement as well, he had to come up with a plan to get them all out safety and bring them back to Hogwarts since he figured it was the only place they would be safe from harm. Newt had one more glance at his sleeping brother and departed the room.

As Newt was walking silently down the stairs toward main entrance he found he was no longer alone on the steps as Dumbledore appeared beside him. “I can only imagine what you are doing up so late Mr. Scamander and what you are planning on doing.” Dumbledore placed his hand on Newt’s arm preventing him from continuing down the stairs. Newt looked up at the professor and attempted to come up with a decent answer that didn’t sound like psycho babble. “Professor I know what you asked of me before everything that has happened. I’m that one you said that can take down Grindelwald and I got you the unbreakable vow pendant from him and still not sure how you can break it since there is a reason its called the unbreakable vow. But I need to get back to my apartment in London since there are creatures there that need my help and need to be protected and I need to bring them to a safe place.” Newt spoke softly with steel determination lacing his words hoping Dumbledore will get the hint that he is leaving no matter what and that he would possibly return with them to Hogwarts. “If you creatures need a safe protected sanctuary for the time being Newt they can come here and nothing will happen to them. And be careful while there young Scamander.” Dumbledore looked like he had more to say but stopped before speaking. Newt nodded to the professor as he exited the castle and disappeared.

Theseus awoke to sun shining through the windows having finally been able to sleep soundly and felt rejuvenated. The dreamless potion worked wonders. Theseus looked over toward Newt’s bed and saw that it was empty and Newt was gone. Theseus figured his little brother had gone off for breakfast and was most likely dealing with his creatures as well. Thats what he thought right until the moment he got up from bed and nearly tripped over Newt’s case of creatures beside his bed. Instantly Theseus knew something was wrong since Newt would never leave his case behind and that Theseus had only small knowledge of how to care for his creatures. Then he noticed the small journal that Newt kept that had all the instructions on how to feed and take care of his special creatures. Yep Theseus was definitely worried. Fantastic what a great way to wake up in the morning see his brother missing and his case still here, the world going straight to hell and Grindelwald wanting a little piece of his brother. Awesome. Theseus picked up the case and journal and raced out of the room and ran into Jacob in the hallway nearly knocking them both down. “Good morning Jacob have you seen Newt anywhere this morning?” Theseus gripped jacob’s arm to prevent him from hitting the floor. “Morning Theseus, no I haven't seen Newt but i got this note under my door this morning letting me know to come see you and take care of case.” Jacob steadied himself as he reached for the note in his pocket and handing it to Theseus. Theseus looked at the note noticing it was in Newt’s handwriting and passed the case over to Jacob as he directed them both down the stairs toward the dining hall. “Good you watch them Jacob I’m going to go find Tina and Professor Dumbledore. Wait here.” Theseus explained as he raced over to a few aurors and could see Tina sitting with them. “Tina we gotta talk. The rest of you don’t go very far we might need you in a minute.” Theseus acknowledged them as he took Tina by the elbow toward Dumbledore’s office. “Whats wrong Theseus? Is Newt ok I heard that his nightmares were bad and hoping that the potion worked for him last night.” Tina asked even though she sensed something else had happened. “Newt isn’t here. He’s gone and I don’t know where he is but I have a feeling Dumbledore will know.” Theseus hurried replied as they made their way to Dumbledore as they noticed him reading a book in a small alcove. Dumbledore saw them coming and closed his book as he stood as both aurors walked up to him both looking concerned. “Good morning you two. You both seemed worried about someone and before you asked any questions I will give you an answer. Newt left early this morning to go to London. Why didn’t I stop him because when has Newt ever listened to an order.” Both aurors glared at him as Theseus looked like he was about to punch the professor but was held back by Tina as she was able to lay into him as well.

Just when there was about to be a fist fight on the stairs they all got directed by a single owl flying through the window and landing on Theseus’ shoulder holding a letter in its mouth. Theseus grabbed the letter from its mouth and quickly opened it.

“To whom it may concern or should I be addressing this to Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Theseus Scamander. I have a certain magizoologist in my custody. Let me tell you he did put up quite a fight in order to get away but even after a rather good entertaining fight he did in fact fall and be brought to me. As I write this the young man is glaring at me resisting the magically cuffs that I have placed on him and attached to the wall. He keeps trying to resist and in turn the cuffs dig deeper into his wrists causing them to bleed and no matter how many times this happens he keeps struggling even though struggling is useless. This is my one warning to you. If you don’t come after him I promise my followers will stop hunting you down and attacking you. You will be kept safe from the terror I plan to inflict on those who resist and fight me. You will be kept alive and safe from death. But if you chose to ignore this then the full force will come down on you if you try to come and save Newton Scamander. He is now in my control and I won’t give him up. Stay away and live another day or die trying to get him back. This is my only warning. Yours Truly Grindelwald. PS Hello Albus I miss you and what we had together.”

Theseus couldn’t believe what the letter said. Grindelwald had his brother and was actually using him to prevent anyone from going after him. Live or die that’s the choice they were given. Leave Newt with the dark wizard or die trying to get him back. Theseus knew what he was going to do he was going to save his brother if it was the last thing he would ever do. Tina looked at Theseus and had the same resolve in her eyes. They both looked at Dumbledore with hate in their eyes accusing him of letting Newt leave and that it was his fault this happened as they turned away and ran down the stairs. Dumbledore reread the letter as he watched the young aurors disappear outside the main hall on their way to rescue Newt. He could only hope they wouldn’t be too late since already from the undertones of the letter Newt was already experiencing Grindelwald’s torture techniques.

Newt endured the latest round of torture as he collapsed to the ground still chained to the wall. His wrists were once again bleeding freely and the fresh wounds on his chest were flowing as well. They has ripped opened his shirt and used their wands to slice wounds on his chest and along his ribs while at the same time causing electricity to run through him causing the cuts to go deeper.They had finally given up for the moment as they left him to bleed. He was shivering from the cold air and from the ice cold water they kept throwing on him in order to make the electricity race through his body better. The pain was excruciating but he wouldn’t give them the satisfaction of breaking him. He had lost count of how many times he had lost consciousness from the pain and had woken up to just receive more pain. What was he thinking when he decided to do this? apparently he wasn’t thinking he was tired from lack of sleep and thought process obviously failed miserably. If he made it out of here alive or hope upon hope that Theseus and Tina and all the aurors were coming to find him he would gladly have Theseus call him an idiot, smack him along side the head and refuse to let him leave Hogwarts alone unless he went with Theseus. Yep at the current moment Newt would gladly take that option if it ever comes but first he needs to get out of here or at least get rescued which was looking rather doubtful. Newt looked up to the ceiling and prayed to merlin that Thesesus and Tina and all the aurors were going to tear this place down but the little doubt made its way in saying they would rather stay away and let him rot since it would be easier for them and was his life more important than theirs? Newt closed his eyes with that horrible thought invading his mind.

Queenie watched as Newt got tortured over and over again by overly enthused followers they had even offered her a chance to get in on the action but she declined and stood back and watched instead. He was stronger than he looked and no matter what they did to him he didn’t break he still was able to glare at them through the blood pouring down his face and refused to give them the pleasure of him begging for them to stop. As she watched him close his eyes she attempted to read his mind only for other voices to penetrate instead. She could sense Tina in the area as well as Newt’s brother Theseus, he was with Tina close to their location. One last glance at Newt Queenie apparated outside to see if she could locate the aurors. It didn’t take long as she spied them from the roof. Theseus was ordering every building to be searched and to locate basements and hidden panels. As Newt had often thought Theseus was very smart and would come for him. Lucky Grindelwald wasn’t present this time to witness the torture Queenie returned inside the building and ordered everyone to abandon the building. One follower was wanting to take Newt with them but with his injuries she refused since he would he would dead weight. One last glance at Newt she unlocked and locked specific doors and disappeared.

Theseus and Tina stood outside a building as other aurors ransacked the place looking for Newt. A muggle has given them a description of Newt and some men taking him into this area. They had started to search each building and still hadn’t found Newt. “By the time we find him we could be too late! He could be gone again with them or be dead.” The last part of that sentence terrified Theseus. What if they were too late and all they found was Newt’s body cold and stiff. Theseus didn’t even want to think about it but that sight would break him, it would kill anything left in his heart. If Newt was... Nope he wasn’t going to think that way he could feel it Newt was still alive he could feel it. Tina just looked at Theseus and had nothing good to say since even she had those terrible thoughts running through her head and it killed her as well. Tina thought she saw something out of the corner of her eye and turned toward it and saw the last person she thought she would ever see again, Queenie! Queenie looked at her sister from the front of a building they hadn’t gotten to yet and disappeared just as Tina saw her. “Theseus over there! We have to check that building now!” Tina didn’t wait for an answer as she bolted toward the building with Theseus hot on her heels. They blasted the door open and ran inside. The air was cold and there was a smell of old dew and something else, it smelled like copper. Theseus knew the smell it was blood. They both spilt up as they searched the house. Theseus was the one that found his brother first.

Theseus kicked open a metal door and nearly died when he saw Newt in the room chained to the wall his wrists bleeding, his shirt ripped opened and cuts bleeding on his chest and his sides. He also has blood on his face from taking repeated punches to the face. Theseus flew to his brothers side as he shot the chains off the wall and placed his fingers to his brothers throat begging to merlin that his brother was alive. Theseus nearly screamed when he felt a pulse as Tina entered the door with other aurors and gasped at the sight of Newt. Theseus was whispering to his brother that he was safe, he was there no one was going to hurt him again over his dead body. Newt opened his eyes when he felt hands on his shoulders and neck as he prepared for a fresh batch of pain but instead he saw Theseus kneeling over him. Relief washed through Newt seeing his brother knowing he was safe they had found him. “Thee we gotta get out of here this place is going to blow.” Newt managed to squeak out before he grimaced from the pain. Theseus looked around as he gripped his brothers arm and picked him up with help from another auror. “This place is going to blow we got to get out of her now!” Theseus ordered as they gathered around Newt wands at the ready and apparated out just as the place began to burn.

Newt had been in the infirmary for about a week in a magically induced coma in order for him to heal from his wounds which Theseus had been told were life threatening. He has lost a lot of blood and the electricity was messing with his heart. Another day and Newt would of either bleed out in that dark room or his heart would of given out. Both outcomes would of killed Theseus. He doubts he would of been able to get past it. Newt was all he had left and if he was gone.... No words could describe that grief. Theseus remained by Newt’s bedside as Tina, Jacob and Dumbledore would appear and see how Newt was doing. Finally after two weeks Newt woke up from the coma. “Don't you ever ever do that to me again Newton! Don’t you ever scare me like that. You could of died and do you even know what that could of done to me... you.. you are all I have left. If you died I...” Theseus couldn’t finish before his voice broke and the tears streamed down his face. Newt leaned forward grabbed his brothers arm and for the second time ever he hugged his brother tight knowing how close he was to dying and leaving his brother alone. “I’m sorry Thee I wasn’t thinking I thought I could get in and out without being noticed but I failed and got caught. I don’t remember much after that it comes in pieces and mostly all i remember is pain. I wouldn’t fault you if you cuff me to your side and literally never let me out of your sight.” Newt explained as best as he could while giving a small smile for the last little bit. Theseus looked at his brother thankful Newt was alive and breathing and whole right in front of him. “You’re damn right I’m not letting you out of my sight ever again. When I leave Hogwarts to do something you are coming with me. If I’m in a meeting you will be attending the same meeting no matter what. And most of all you have no idea how terrified i was when I saw you in that room I thought I lost you.” Theseus hugged his brother again a little tighter knowing full well he was going to be glued to Newt’s side for now on no matter that. The Scamander brothers talked a little more of what happened and the plans moving forward. Newt had no problem becoming an auror and working with his brother and Tina full time. He would deal with it.

When Newt was finally able to leave the infirmary Jacob greeted him with a hug and with his case of creatures. Tina arrived behind him and also gave Newt a hug and a small punch to the arm for scaring her. Ya he deserved that and several more if she wanted too. Theseus also greeted him at the door with the look on his face saying “Now you are not allowed to leave my side. Deal with it.” Dumbledore also waited outside and nodded to Newt. It was a new day and now Newt was ready to get back into the fight and was determined to take the fight to Grindelwald. They had hid long enough it was time to bring the fight to Grindelwald and they all didn’t know it yet but Newt and his fantastic beasts were the key to winning the war.

Car recommendations for a college student?

I'll be getting my first car in the spring of 2012. I'm staying in an apartment near the campus, and I'll have a bike for that. The majority of my driving will be errands around town, and driving the 117 miles back home occasionally to visit family. Low insurance, high gas mileage, and safety are top priorities. I've got about $15,000 to spend on the car. I will have a part time job to pay insurance/gas/etc. So far the only car that appeals to me is the 2010+ Mazda3 because it has a nice exterior, and I love the interior and features compared to other small cars. Gas mileage is decent, but not the best. Also, if I go for the hatchback, will that raise my insurance costs? Do you have any other recommendations? The Mazda3 has the best interior that I've seen so far, that's the basic factor that's keeping me from other cars.""

Which will cost more to insure? 00-04 mustang base or 00-04 mustang gt?

I'm 17 and live in New York. Been driving with a clean record for one year and I currently pay $100/month on my mom's '10 camry. I want to get my own car and I have narrowed everything down to a mustang, but I can't decide between a base model or a gt. I have discounts on my current policy such as good student and drivers ed. I will also take a defensive driving course for an added discount and the new car will also bring about a multi-car policy discount which will be helpful. My mom will be contributing the same $100 towards the car as she is now and the rest I have to pay for by myself. I have heard that the base and gt will cost about the same to insure, but that doesn't seem right considering that the gt has 100+hp more than the base, but people have supported that by saying the base models are involved in more crashes among young drivers. So can anybody set the record straight for me? Please don't give me responses saying that only my insurance agent can tell me that or too high for you to afford. Also would it be a wise decision to drop collision coverage for a huge insurance discount? I don't plan on racing this car.""

Why is my insurance going up?

I've been working with my employer for 7 years, as of right now I have employee & spouse coverage, I pay about 150 a month (auto deduct from paycheck) and that amount gets me a $5000 deductible and about a $25-$30 co-pay. this morning in a company meeting we were told that our insurance is going to go up (starting June 1st) now for employee and spouse it is going to be $410 a month (everything else the same as before co-pay and deductible) last year my hubby had some medical issues and we have about $7000 in medical bills (on a payment plan we pay $400 a month) so now when my new rate kicks in (in about a week) I will have to pay a total of $800 a month just for medical stuff... I can't afford this. my employer is very upset and wants to shop around but has been shopping around for 8 months now and can't find anything better than this. why is health insurance rising?? I am thinking about dropping myself from health insurance all together (I am 31 and healthy), also i plan on getting rid of my cable and internet (which would save $140 a month), my husband (with medical issues) will get health insurance through his work (about $160-$200 a month) and I will go without for a couple of years just so we can keep our heads above water... I just have a question about my plan of action- can I drop my Health insurance? will I get fined for opting out of health insurance when Obamacare goes into action next year?""

What is north carolinas cheapest car insurance company.?

Switching car insurance?

I live in North Carolina, and I got insurance when I lived in south carolina under state farm for 160. When I moved back to be with my family, I was searching for car insurance for North Carolina and found Geico with 60 a month. I didn't notify state farm of the change in insurance, and I am currently insured under Geico. I'm wondering if my license could potentially be suspended or I have something on my record about it, even though I did not have a lapse in coverage, I did not notify the other insurance company. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!""

How much should i expect in a car insurance settlement?

My chiropractor is charging 3,000 for my treatment. I was involved in a rear end accident. I was in a small honda civic coupe, when i was rear ended by a big ford F-150. My car was totaled and not driveable (the manual transmission cracked, oil leaked out, and it wouldn't go into any gear). I suffered from whiplash injuries because of the two impacts,( one small impact, then i turned around to see what happened, then the truck hit me again). the other driver got a ticket for following too closely. I was not at fault, so the insurance already paid for my car (1800). Initially they offered 1200,but i told them i couldn't accept because i paid 2500 for it, just a month before. Has anyone had a similar case? if so, how much can i be compensated for? My back still hurts. the accident was in august""
