*Blaine flies down into the middle of Diagon Alley he turned into Blaine a short fall from the ground. He stood up and closed his eyes and took in a deep breath and choked on the smell of something he did not understand but liked he shook his head to clear it and looked around seeing fliers of things that made no sense to him people seemed off more nervous and they all started to move to the outskirts away from him something was off this was not what he remembered he continued to watch people he could sense the unease in the air but he had no clue what it was about and he knew he would feel stupid if he asked so he stood there glaring at everyone for no reason other then he was irritated*

[Laura O'Callaghan]

Numb was what Laura's hand was at the moment. Apparently the mittens that she had bought a couple of days ago didn't help at all. And it was one of those mittens that should keep her warm. Magic wasn't what it used to be, was what Laura always thought. Devises and such are not as good like the ones she used to know. Take these mittens for one. Laura could've just casted some heating charm but she wanted to try them out. Bad choice on her judgment. This wasn't the first time though. Stopping, Laura took her wand out of her pocket and casted herself a heating charm that would last for the whole damn day. Ya, she's that good with magic.

Muttering to herself about her stupid mittens, she pocketed her wand and looked around the area. Diagon Alley wasn't like it used to be. Not much people filled the streets, not even if it was that time of year. Christmas didn't look like it had filled the hearts of the population of the wizarding world. Although some shops had decorations up, it still made a difference. At least someone was trying to make a difference. Speaking of shops, Laura was out to shop for her son and friends. So far she's gotten a few stuff for her friends. The only one she's having a hard time shopping for was her son, Corbin. What can a mother get for her son. He's an adult now and toys and games were not good. She really needed help with this one. If only Logan was around, he should know what his son would want. But alas, he is off to some place, always busy with something. Now she knew how he felt when she was always busy in the office.

Giving out a small sigh, Laura started to walk again. Just as she took a couple of steps, she sensed a familiar ora. She's never sensed this sort of emotion. Curious, Laura let her mind wander, reading the minds of the people around her. But then she focused on one thought. This person felt irritated and rather confused. Laura looked around the area and saw this big looking guy. She focused more on him and knew that this feelings that she read were coming from him. Laura stared at him for a while, feeling like she knew this man. But where? Curious once more, Laura lingered on in his thoughts. Sorry, Laura likes to see what's in peoples head these days. It's really useful when you want to know what the other person's intentions are.

As Laura went through his mind, she gathered some information. It seems he hasn't been here for like EVER. But who is this man? The more she wondered the more she wanted to get in his head. Laura was now trying to find his name. Searching deep in his mind there she found it. Laura looked rather dumbfounded with a gap on her mouth.

Not thinking of what she was doing, Laura started to walk up to him. So many things raced in her head. She couldn't believe what she had found out.

Blaine?

She said as she had walked up to the guy. Laura stared at him, trying to see if this was the Blaine that she knew back then.

[Blaine Mcleod]

*Blaine had been standing there for nearly fifteen minutes glaring at random people that passed by when he felt someone watching him he searched the small crowd and could see no one at first but then he spotted an older women looking at him with the most curious look he had ever seen he raised a brow wondering what she wanted he was unsure if he was glaring or not maybe thats why she was watching him in such a way but as she stepped towards him and spoke his name he knew he was wrong* "Who's asking?" *was all he could say in a irritated voice he looked into her eyes and could sense she meant no harm no intentional harm anyway and recognized the eyes but he couldn't think of the name of the person they belonged to he could barely remember he had friends let alone there names he just knew they where out here somewhere*

[Laura O'Callaghan]

Who would have thought that she'll ever get to see Blaine again. But it looks like he doesn't remember her one bit. Ok Laura maybe 50! But she doesn't look it. Thank gawd for Voula la la's anti-age cream. Laura's been using that since well, long time now. Not every woman should tell her secrets. Anyways, obviously Laura would still look like she was in her 30s. 20s would be too young and people needed to age at least. Frowning at the fact that Blaine didn't remember her, this so reminded her of when Logan came back from the dead and didn't remember anything. Well the only difference is that he only remembered Laura. Sweet huh. But sucks for Mr. Blaine here to not remember the one Puff that always was there for him.

Who's asking? Laura. Laura James.

Why use her maiden name? Well Blaine here wasn't around the time when she and his best bud Logan got married. So he wouldn't know a Laura O'Callaghan. Just a Laura James. Well she hoped that he remembered. Because if he didn't she'll totally fuck with his mind.

[Blaine Mcleod]

*Blaine stood there looking into her eyes he knew he knew her but he couldn't think exactly where from as she said her name was Laura James he thought even harder on where he knew here from at least now he had a footing he looked her up and down and then stood there thinking again suddenly she was no longer the grown woman in front of her but a young woman in robes with a badger on her chest he shook his head and she was back to the older woman* "Laura...?" *as he said her name a rush of memories came to his mind as well as his memories of Logan and like a chain reaction things started to fall back into place he dropped to his knees gasping for breath as his former life flashed before his eyes he shook his head and looked back up to her* "
Laura, wow..." *he shook his head standing up still trying to clear his thoughts now that he had so many* "You look like your still 30 but i thought i had been dead for nearly twenty or more years"

[Laura O'Callaghan]

Laura had this hopeful look on her face. Hopeful that Blaine would recognize her and remember everything. Maybe she should fuck with his mind. Like you know dig into his brain to make him remember her or something. Just wanting to give a little nudge or two, you know. But she didn't though. She didn't get into his brain or anything. Instead she waited for him to remember.

She wasn't too sure on what's going in his mind. Laura didn't invade anymore because she too would get some brain freeze effect or something. Because if one is having so many thoughts in their mind, Laura gets her mind jumbled up and well a very big headache after that. Good thing she didn't though because all a sudden Blaine dropped to his knees. Surprised with his action, Laura tried to help him up but it seems he still has a hold of himself.

Yes, it's Laura.

She said as she smiled at him. Finally, he has remembered. Now we can all celebrate.

Well that's real sweet of you to say Blaine. Dead for nearly twenty years? What do you mean by that? Where have you been?...

Laura's got so many questions to ask. Ok well those are pretty much enough to get the most information she can get.

[Blaine Mcleod]

*he shook his head again trying to clear it as she asked her questions he smirked gaining some of his old personality back from his memories he began to think of how to start last time he seen her he was attacking her Aurors and storming out of her office of course she wouldn't remember that shortly after that he was killed he stopped thinking for a moment and looked at her with a raised brow* "Wait your not in my mind right now are you? and who do you work for? before i can say anything i need to know those two things" *he has to many secrets to keep to start spilling things then again he wasn't sure exactly what was secret and what wasn't now a days so what did it matter he was no longer a Death Eater but he was still loyal to Raya and a few others he shook his head once more and walked over to an ally nodding for her to follow not waiting for her to protest he walked into the ally and leaned against the wall*

[Laura O'Callaghan]

No. I'm not in your head. Not now. And I work for no one.

Laura admitted that she was in his head earlier. She would dig deeper for more info but that wasn't what she was looking for. Just for his name. Although there were so many dark thoughts inside. Something Laura didn't like. She did remember the last time she saw him. But she didn't know he was killed after that. What a way to say goodbye. But that was all in the past. Very long time ago.

The second question, well Laura didn't work for anyone. She was still loyal with the Ministry and is secretly trying to get things back on track. But of course she didn't mention that. She didn't want to. It was something no one knew about. Not Logan, Corbin, nor her friends. Just her and Balthazar.

She didn't find it odd that Blaine wanted to talk in a secluded place. And what better place than an alley. Who knows who'd be listening when around the public eye. She followed him, not afraid at all. She still trusted Blaine and sensed that he wouldn't hurt her. He didn't hurt her when they last saw each other, so yeah, she wasn't afraid.

Ok, we're out of earshot. Spill.

She wasn't demanding but she really wanted to know. Laura was resisting really hard not to read his mind right about now.

[Blaine Mcleod]

*as he leaned against the wall he looked at her she was working for no one that shocked him he wanted to ask what happened to the ministry job bust put it to the back of his mind he just nodded and took a deep breath he had just then decided to hell with it why keep secrets not worth keeping if she wasn't the ministry anymore he took a second deep breath and looked at her* "Ok im not sure if you remember what happened last time we met when i told you I was a Death Eater well after i nocked out your guards and ran for it i ran into...our leader" *he chose to keep Raya and her family out of this* "come to find out i was betrayed by someone i thought to be a friend and he lied about a lot of things to get me killed and it worked i was killed brought down in a church by those i thought friends...well shortly after that i was brought back to life by two people who had been where i was well when they brought me back they had to turn me into a demon so here I am now as a demon but i made a bad choice and chose to try and fly to heavens gate to get someone back that doesn't want me back and was thrown back into hell for around twenty years i escaped as you can see and here i am not sure what the hell is going on" *he paused so she could catch all he had said and accept it before he continued with his questions* "Now whats going on here on Earth?"

[Laura O'Callaghan]

Laura tried to listen intently but it was rather hard since it's been a long time they've last seen each other. So many things happened then but she kept up. Blaine's story was like some Dean Winchester shit. Just minus being turned into a demon. Ok wait, not true. While in hell Dean was a demon and did kill people and whatnot, so ok ya it's almost the same. Anyways, back in Harry Potter world, Laura was quiet as things sunk in her.

So you're a demon?...

Laura said then trailed off. All she was thinking right now was "Oh hells yeah I can read demon minds!". She guessed her powers have gotten more powerful than ever or something. Alright, enough about that. It was time for Laura to explain what has happened here. It was rather hard since she too was lost nowadays. She looked away from Blaine and sigh for some dramatic effect. What? I can't do that? Anyways, this was going to be really hard for her to explain.

Things have been different now Blaine. VERY different.

She looked back at him now, somewhat sad to even go on.

The Ministry is dead, Blaine. And chaos has taken over. So many things have happened that everything's a blur to me. I've lost pretty much everything I have accomplished but I haven't lost everything. There are many groups now trying to take over the world. It's crazy. Everything you knew is now dead.

Laura wasn't sure if she explained everything to him. But if he had questions, she will answer it for him. It still hurts. Everything that happened to the Ministry still affected Laura. Like a unhealed wound in her heart. Everything that she had worked for was gone.

[Blaine Mcleod]

*Blaine stood there listening as he got a not to clear version of what happened she had told him everything was new but she didn't tell him what happened or who's group was winning or who the groups where or hell even what group wanted what he raised a brow and waited expecting more but as she said nothing he shook his head* "So who brought down the ministry?" *he had so many questions but he figured one at a time would be better then flooding her with questions and as he asked another question he figured he would answer the one she asked* "Yes I'm a demon" *he smiled and choked on the smell of something again catching his breath he shook his head* "Man I'm hungry"

[Laura O'Callaghan]

The reason why Laura didn't explain a lot is because the rper has no idea on what exactly happened. So yeah, we'll just have to leave our imagination with that and just play along. Laura was quiet for a bit, feeling rather powerless at the moment. Why? Well because there isn't really a "WHO" on who actually brought the Ministry down. With so much power she possess, Laura feels really powerless with that. Like when Peter Petrellie lost his powers. Powerless in that sense.

I don't know, Blaine. Everything was a blur to me when it happened. All I can think of was saving my family. I couldn't leave Corbin's side.

It was hard to imagine Laura ever leaving the Ministry's side. She devoted her whole life to the Ministry and when the day the Ministry needed her, Laura surprisingly said "No" and stayed with her son. She did help, but she kept watch of her son like a hawk. Laura was too afraid to lose him. Since he is her only child. Laura can sense Blaine wondering who the fuck is Corbin. She will explain in due time but right now there's a hungry demon she's got to feed.

Let's go get something to eat then. I know a nice place.

This was an excuse to get away from the cold, put something in her stomach, and have some little time with Blaine. It's been forever since they've last hung out. So this would be a really nice pace. Grabbing his hand, Laura lead Blaine away from the alley and to a really decent looking restaurant. It was small but humble with a very relaxing atmosphere. And it wasn't freezing inside. This was always a good spot for Laura to just relax in and enjoy her meals.

She took a sit at her usual table, located at the back. She liked her privacy here and there. The waitress came over and placed menus infront of them. Laura knew what she was getting but she always liked to see what else they have before making an actual choice. There were all sorts of food that they make. Loads and loads of variety. But Laura wasn't sure what do demons eat.

See anything you like?

Blaine can always get a combo meal or something. If he was that hungry. Laura here always enjoyed a light meal, since she never really ate a lot these days. She was too busy plotting than being stress free.

[Blaine Mcleod]

*Family was the first thought that popped into his head. Family? Laura had a family? and who was Corbin her boyfriend? her husband? who? he knew she had to move on from Logan after his death but he still didn't like it after all Logan had been Blaine's best friend sense they where first years. They plotted together plotted being Death Eaters. killing Logan's mom which Logan and his father did. plotted so many things and did so many things together. what amazed him was that he never seen Logan in hell. he shrugged it off and was about to ask her all these questions when she took him off by the hand to a restaurant. he was not used to kindness anymore and this felt very alien to him but it was Laura. he smirked this was one of the first people he ever met at Hogwarts he got lost countless times in his cave with her hell he went to her when he almost turned himself in for being a Death Eater there was almost no one he trusted as much as her so he allowed her to drag him by the hand to a far table she had very good taste in location you could see everyone in there and your back wasn't to a door he smiled he guessed an ex auror had to think like a Death Eater did. as they sat down he looked at the menu he didn't know what he wanted and in all honesty he was hungry but it wasn't like a food hungry he put the thoughts of other types of feeding to the back of his mind he knew he had one but he didn't know if it was blood like a vampire or if it was... well lets just hope he didn't have Del's hunger. he looked over the menu and figured he would just have a cheese burger and tatter tots he then looked to Laura and figured he would start asking questions first ones first* "Who the hell is Corbin?" *he quickly put a hand over his mouth he didnt mean to sound so violent about it* "Sorry i mean who is Corbin"

[Laura O'Callaghan]

A burger and tatter tots, what good choices of food Blaine has. Yes she totally read his mind and this rper just got hungry. Knowing what she was getting, Laura ordered for the both of them since Blaine didn't give his order. Just as the waitress took order and left, Laura was somewhat startled with his question. It was obvious that Blaine didn't know who Corbin was and Laura totally forgot about that. Right now she feels as if Blaine never left her life.

I'm sorry Blaine, I forgot you weren't around at the time. Corbin's my son. My son with Logan.

Laura simply said with this genuine smile on her face. Whenever she mentions or talks about Logan or Corbin, you can really see how happy Laura is. There would always be that hint of glow on her face. See Laura here always thought that she'll be single through out her life and that she'll never have a family. With so many bad relationships and many working hours, it's really hard to keep your hopes up with the two. But from some divine miracle, Logan was still alive and came back to her. All to sweet really. She knew that Blaine would ask more, especially anything about Logan. This didn't bother her at all. Laura was willing to answer any of his questions. Just nothing about the Ministry. It's all hush hush.

[Blaine Mcleod]

*Blaine sat there with raised eyebrows as she said Corbin was her son her son with Logan did she mean Logan Logan or some new Logan he wasnt sure he thought Logan had died but maybe he hadnt after all he didnt see him in hell maybe Logan didnt die he shook his head he was so confused now and to make it worse he didnt know where to start asking questions to get the answers he needed to not be confused he shook his head once more and took a drink of the water they give you he took a deep breath and shook his head one more time god he hated coming back from the dead so damn confusing he looked up at her and was about to ask more when the sudden thought of son hit his mind he had a son or did have a son John what had happened to John last he had known John was with Aunti V the thought of V brought back a small flash back of a time he was drunk and he had to take another drink and shake his head clean god he was acting funny and he didnt like it ok focus Blaine he wanted to slap himself but didnt think that would look to normal so he looked back at Laura taking another drink* "Sorry memories. anyway so Corbin is your son with Logan, Logan who?" *that was the best way he could think of to get a straight answer but by the look on her face it didnt matter if it was Logan Logan or not she loved this guy and her son she could pretty much light up the room with her smile when she talks about them he smiled he wished he could ever find something like that but pout the stray thoughts to the back of his mind once more*
