(It's absolutely fine! I haven't post what Merlin did when he landed so I added that. =P You could have started either places.)

(OOC: Sorry for going awol! I was finishing up Survival yesterday and now I have a couple deadlines coming up irl.)

Paul nodded took out a bottle from his coat and took a long swig. It looked like fruit juice... was it, curious. He started making rounds looking at children to see if any where harmed--Charlotte was still on him but he was acting as if he didn't have a large guest wrapped around him.

At Merlin he handed him the potion again. "Strength potion, since you freaked out about nakedness earlier. You hurt at all? So, am I crazy?" he asked with a smirk. At Tamsin he frown and his eyes flashed with a hint of anger. Then it was gone. And he lowered his head. "Sorry," he said with a sigh, "Yeah, I am well acquainted with dark magic unfortunately given my parents were Death Eaters. But you shouldn't doubt yourself, kiddo. You've gotten the kids this far, none are hurt badly, everyone is alive and you got help. You are doing what you can. So, ease up on yourself."

At the new look of Lee, Paul was surprised but he smiled. Then he checked over Magnus. "When did you get those burns?"

"Er, when I was helped out Devils snare."

"And you didn't heal them?"

"With what, Paul?" Magnus asked. "Merlin put balm on 'em."

"Ditany you idiot," Paul said pulling his collar down and pouring some on him then whacking him gently upside the head. He then sat down for a moment.

Magnus blushed feeling stupid for not thinking of it.

Merlin grabbed the potion. "I forgot to drink with all the excitement." He took a shot and blinked a few times. "Eeww! Tastes awful!" Merlin touched himself to see if he was hurting anywhere. "I think I'm fine, my muscles are a bit sore but that's all. I didn't know dittany was good for burns, good to know." Merlin found the berries and started munchin. "MM, you gotta try this." Merlin wondered if anyone was now afraid of him. "Hum Mag, do you think...maybe they will be scared of me now? You know, I have fangs when I transform." Like that was the only thing to worry about.

Tamsin listened to Paul. "I didn't mean it because of what your parents were...even when I loathe death eaters, they killed my father, remember? I only mean you are better than me, I still can't control my power properly..it's overwhelming."

(and anyone else :) )

Drew slid off his thestral, running his hand down the animal's neck and murmuring his thanks. He asked that his mount and a few others linger nearby in case they were needed again. The thestral snorted in response and bobbed its head. Drew smiled and fed it another piece of meat. As he started for the tunnel he heard a joyful bark and Dodger came barreling up to him. "Hey, boy," Drew smiled, kneeling to hug his dog. "so you escaped from Mags, hmm?" He ruffled the thick smokey colored fur and then stood up again. "Let's go see where we are."

Once through the tunnel, Drew was again overwhelmed by what he saw, just as he had been in awe of the centaur and the unicorns. But this, this was different somehow. It was calming in its beauty and the boy twirled in a circle, trying to locate the source of the bells he was hearing. Dodger frisked at his side like a younger pup. "It's...it's..." Drew searched his vocabulary but came up short on words to truly and adequately describe what he was seeing. If only he could find the right words or capture the scene somehow. But he was no artist. But he knew someone who was. With a grin, the boy turned to look for Magnus and spotted the car, seated like a monarch on a throne and he had to laugh. It just seemed out of place yet somehow right at home in the magical grove.

Emmett and Millie had been so quiet, the group had forgotten they were there. The two had decided to remain quiet because the amount of problems there have been. They were both relieved when Merlin called for a break. Emmett pulled the water bottle from his coat pocket and refilled it with the Aguamenti charm. He drank the whole bottle and refilled it before handing it over to Millie.

"So, now vhat?" Emmett asked? as the group noticed a very old blue car. "Is that what I think it is?" Millie asked.

Lee heard the conversation between Paul and Magnus and laughed silently when Mags got a light cuff to the head. Charlotte looked quite content where she was.

He looked over at Drew to see what he was laughing at, and looked where he was looking. The car...so it actually was true then, there had been a flying car. He remembered that detail when they had studied the wizarding war in class, but thought it must be long gone by now, or not even real.

He pulled out his phone, and walked to where he could get a good picture of it. he saved it, and went to relax again, sitting down and stretching out his legs, they were sore for some reason.

Paul notice Merlin didn't answer his other question so he was probably crazy too. That actually didn't bother him at all.

"Why would they be afraid o' you, Merlin?" Magnus asked, "you're in control of yourself. You have nothing to fear. And you're freaking amazing."

Paul gave Tamsin a sad smile, "Sorry... I get a little... anyway, I'm not better than you. You got through the same program I did. Don't doubt yourself."

Magnus sat back resting and trying to process things.

"Hey Lottie," Paul said, "would you like a coat like mine? Maybe in nice pretty colours? Make you feel safe and warm?"

(hey Merlin, i'd like to propose a chat night and we all just have a "break", let others catch up. I'm so tired I'm struggling. Dont think I have action in me)

Charlotte realized she was still on Paul and felt stupid. She jumped down and ran up into a tree without answering. She had acted irrationally and stupid and she just wanted to not be looked at for a bit.

Once she felt concealed in the tree she shifted. Outfit Not Found

She pulled her knees up to her chest and wrapped her tail around herself. They said it was safe...so she took out her phone and put her earbuds in.

(No worries! xx)

Merlin was frantically looking for the fairies but still haven't found a single one. "Where is my luck?" He pouts and sits under a tree while he catch his breathe for so much running. "I could stay here forever, the songs are soo calming." He was smiling and drawn to the beauty of the place and looking away from the car he thought was an eyesore, when he heard Emmet and Millie asked, he responded. "It's a car, something Ford, I don't know why its here or where it came from but it doesn't really fit." Then he spotted a black and blue giant butterfly. "LOOK! It's huge!" The butterfly was the size of a large bird like a phoenix and it glittered when the light touched its wings. Merlin stood up and begin following the butterfly around and taking noted on his notebook. "Did you guys see this?"

(OOC: - just saw your post will respond next. I have no problem with a chat night if everyone agrees. We can just enjoy and rest. Merlin is more than happy to play around.)

Dodger gave a little woof and bounced from Drew over toward Magnus and then looked back at his master as if to ask what he was waiting for. Drew smiled. It seemed like ages since he'd actually talked to his friend, but he knew the bond between Magnus and Paul and wasn't willing to get in the way. However, seeing Magnus sitting on the ground and Paul occupied with his newly acquired fur stole aka Lottie, Drew made his way over to the young werewolf. "Hey," he said with a smile and flopped down on the inviting grass near Magnus.

Lee watched Charlotte hop down and then up into a tree. She looked like she wanted some time to herself, but ...he hesitated, torn between wanting her company and giving her space. Then Merlin distracted him with the butterfly, and he took out his phone again, moving to get few good pictures of it. Satisfied, he thought this now gave him an excuse to go and disturb her.

Lee approached the tree where Charlotte was sitting, and gave her a wave, hoping she would see the motion.

[img align=right]https://sapi.subeta.net/shared/144050.png[/img] [img align=right]https://sapi.subeta.net/shared/144032.png[/img] "I've heard about that car. It's amazing it's still here. Oh dear, I hope there aren't any Acromantula nearby. I love most animals but those aren't included in the list." Millie shifted her weight to her left foot and looked around nervously. Emmett pointed to a giant blue butterfly Merlin noticed. "oh wow, that's beautiful."

Merlin listened to Magnus response and nods, he really hope everyone felt that way. He have hid his animagus form to everyone because he feared they will be scared of him. "Thanks I hope so..you really think it's amazing? I do too. I wonder how many wizards can turn into dragons. That probably explains why some of them understand me and I them. I can talk with my Meolc, not with words from her but somehow I can know what she wants to say." Suddenly merlin remembered he needed shoes and had his feet all dirty already so he accio shoes and washed his feet. "Much better. I need to find those fairies."

Tamsin appreciated Paul's words, still she was scared of her own power. "Thanks. I'll try to believe in myself more."

[Edit] ((I keep missing posts))

Merlin heard what Millie said about the car and asked. "Can you tell me about the car? Is that the one...no way. Is that the car Ron and Harry used to come to Hogwarts? It can't be!"

"Of course it is, Merlin!" Magnus said.

Charlotte didn't reply so Paul decided to wait as he took another long drink from the bottle. "I hate cars," he said. "And yes, Merlin," Paul agreed, "that's one hellva tallent. I wish I could change into a dragon. Mind you I have a rather large collection of dragon toys and such."

Magnus looked up at Paul, as now the boy was laying on his back not far from him. "Ey Drew," he replied. "So you 'ave thestral powers 'ey? That's cool."

Paul smiled gently at Tamsin. He couldn't blame her, he rarely believed in himself.

She saw the movement of a hand and let her gaze fall down to it. She didnt quite recognize the person looking up at her. She gave a awkward wave back. 'Gods I am loosing it...cant even remember everyone in the group...so stupid...so so stupid.'

She had not intended a quarter of the stuff she did today and she just kept making more and more mistakes.

Lee held up his phone, then motioned to Charlotte's ears, as in 'take out the buds' and gave her a small smile.

Drew lay there a moment, thinking, and then answered Magnus. "I guess so," he said. "I really didn't know I did. I...I just talked to them like I do Fleet," he said quietly, not certain whether to classify it as a power.

He rolled to his side and propped himself on an elbow. "Now Merls has an awesome power." He smiled over at the prefect. "Thank you again for what you did, Merlin," he said sincerely. "I think it's because of you that I'm overcoming the heights thing. Not to mention you saved us."

Outfit Not Found

She looked at the boy, 'why was he trying so hard?' she mouthed a 'Really Im fine' to him...thinking maybe that was it...maybe he thought she was injured or something. She was taking a moment to analyze if he would try climbing up...noooo...most teens hate climbing...they outgrow it.

Paul looked at Charlotte in her treat. "Would you like any sweets or drink or something, darlin?" he asked.

"Threstral whisperer," Magnus said
