Chapter 4 - Present. (part 2)

As Godric is enjoying a hot cup of tea a sound is heard in het hallway. Not long after Rowena appears as she walks into his office. "Godric we need to talk".

Seeing the severity in Rowena's eyes Godric sighs and makes some room in his office, for Rowena to sit. Though he might not be a bookworm like Rowena, his office is almost entirely filled to the brim with books and trophies of his adventures. Though that doesn't take the eyes away from the mess his office is in. Papers are spread everywhere as even the chairs hold multiple stacks of paper. "You should really learn to clean up, your bad behavior is rubbing off on your students. Never in my life have I seen such chaotic room" Rowena says as she looks at Godric with eyes full of disgust. Who knows what kind of rotting food you can find in those rooms.

A faint blush spreads across Godric face as he chokes on his tea. "Now now Rowena, why did you come her, I'm sure it isn't about my bad habits". He says as he is trying to change the subject as soon as possible.

"Is it possible to enroll Helena and Willow a year earlier? Their magic is getting out of control. I already asked Ollivander to make their wands, but as I'm not home all the time it might be getting dangerous to leave them alone" Rowena says as worry is painted across her stoic eyes. She has never shown this much emotion with her daughters, but Godric is all too familiar with the problems her daughters will face.

"You know we can't change the rules Rowena. We have to draw a line. For there is no going back once we change the rules. However you can bring them to your living quarters. Make them live at Hogwarts, though they will not follow lessons, we can still keep an eye on them." Godric sighs as he knows what kind of dangers magic out of control can cause to the caster as well as the environment.

Rowena gives a weak smile as there is no other option. 'This is better than nothing'. She accepts the proposed solution and recollects her emotions. "One more thing Godric... When did Willow get in contact with an Occamy and a Phoenix? I know Salazar gave Helena the feather, but when and who gave them to Willow? Willow spends most of her time in the library or in bed, were did she get those materials?"

"A phoenix and Occamy you say.... Though Phoenixes aren't that dangerous, but a Occamy? How indeed. I didn't give it to her, that's for sure. Seems like that daughter of yours is more wild than we initially thought." He smiles as he can almost see the girl running in the forest with her boyish outfit.

*

While Rowena and Godric are making the moving plans, a girl in boyish clothes and tied up black hair is running in the nearby forest. Though not too deep as Marrie would worry and take her back forcefully. As she reaches the edge of the forest the sound of hooves is heard in the distance. Branches are hitting her face as bruises start to form on her arms and legs. Her face has multiple cuts from twigs as she is running at full speed.

Almost reaching the end of the forest, Willow can feel her feat leaving the ground. A hand pulls her up at the scruff of her blouse as she is dangling like a soaked kitten. "Milady, how many times must I warn thee not to enter the forest" A low and dignified voice is heard behind her as she gives an apologetic smile.

"Firell! Did I really go in that deep? I never noticed... Good thing you are here to warn me" Her are eyes looking at the side as sweat is forming on her face. Avoiding Firells glare she starts to softly mumble a word that resembles 'mother hen', earning her a hit on the head from Firell. Willow looks up at the man as tears start to form in her eyes.

A bronze tanned man is seen with long light brown hair. His broad chest is bare and full of scars. Most likely inflicted by human poachers. For his lower body is the body of a dark brown horse. A sword is tied to his waist and a bow and quivers on his back. Before her stands her long time friend and teacher of the stars, Firell the centaur.

"But I had to visit Nox and Sill. I promised! Sill is still too young to get her food on her own. And Nox is avoided by everyone, she would be lonely without our daily meetup." Willow says as she I trying to make her point and convince Firell.

"Milady, I know the agreements thee has made with thy friends, but thee still can't enter the forest on thy own. Please inform me next time so we can go together. For there are worse beings here than the magic less beings" Dangerous eyes are looking into the forest as the surroundings are dreadfully quiet. "For now let us leave, for Mars is bright tonight. Something dangerous is looming in the future and it will affect us all in one way or the other" Having been found out, Firell brings Willow back to the castle. Receiving a sermon from Maggie, for she had gone farther in the forest than they had agreed upon.
