Corbin: he held Melanie tight. "I need you to talk to me. Tell me what's wrong. I can help."
Gabrielle: she started crying. "H-he put me under the imperious curse and made me attack my real father. But h-he froze me and saved both of us."
Melanie: "It's aw-ful. T-oo much."
Corbin: he sighed. "I know, dear. I know." He rubbed her back. "We'll be okay. I promise."
Jackson: "I don't trust him." He hugged her though.
Melanie: "I'm sorry. I love you too much."
Gabrielle: "I know you don't. But I do. He is my daddy and I love him."
Jackson: He sighed. "I don't trust him to not hurt you."
Melanie: "You're not safe."
OOC: wow I feel stupid. I always thought/heard that the battle was in 1998.
Gabrielle: she was about to pull him onto her lap, but she remembered his comment about babying him, so he didn't. "He won't, Jackson."
Corbin: "I'm the minister. Of corse I'm not safe. But that's okay, sweetheart. It's a risk I have to take."
OOC: I feel smart!
Georgie: her smile faded and she clutched her head again. "I swear, something just happened, Evan. I don't know. It's scary."
Corbin: "I won't." He received the patronus and replied "What?! I never did that! I was just in this weird cell for the past-oh. Right. I'll get you all out." In a few minutes, they were all being released.
Georgie: "How do you know?"
Gabrielle: she was about to pull him onto her lap, but she remembered his comment about babying him, so he didn't. "He won't, Jackson."
Corbin: "I'm the minister. Of corse I'm not safe. But that's okay, sweetheart. It's a risk I have to take."
Veronica: "Took you long enough. Nagini is seriously upset with you, and I don't blame her. You're lucky I respect Professor Black enough not to tell my parents, Lord and Lady Spencer, all about this." She didn't like using her family to threaten people, but if it stopped this from happening again...
Evan: "Because I know..."
Jackson: "You don't know that."
Corbin: "It wasn't me though. It was a death eater with polyjuice. I would never do something as horrible as that. You're students, for crying out loud."
Georgie: she snuggled into him. "Okay."
