I smile slightly, looking out the window and over the grounds.
It was long drop, Erin had met her end right here. I hadn't known her that well, but I saw what it did to him and that was enough to feel downright miserable about the whole thing.

I shrug, "Long way down."
Thinking about the only time I've ever seen my brother cry.

I look over the ledge again. *So many people jump from here...* I think to myself. "So, where's Poppy right now?" I ask him.

"With Uncle Ian," I say, "Or maybe with Lorelei, she said she was taking her shopping." I bite my lip, "Or she might be playing pirates with Mia, Brett and Yumi...Oh God, that's awful. I don't know. Any of those."

I sigh. "You'll get it under control, the parenting that is. I helped Yumi, I can help you too..." I say softly.

"One isn't bad, but once you can deal with two, more than that is a piece of cake..." I say to him.

"Good job I don't plan on more really," I laugh slightly, "Never been a kid person to be honest."

I smile. "I never thought I had this many either, but after I had Jenny, and then Zoe I loved being a mom..."

"Yeah..." I say laughing. "It just took over, I never really wanted kids though..."

"God, someone tell that to my brother and Maddie. They need to stop with the whole not wanting it thing." I laugh softly, "Keep telling them they'll do fine but they've got it stuck in their heads that it's going to hate them or they'll kill it by accident or something."

I laugh. "The only way that would happen, is if they continue to say that after the baby's born, then he or she will hate them cause he'll feel unwanted and unloved..." I say to him.

"I know they won't. They'll be good at it. It's just a whole load of neurosis at the moment, but when it's born they'll love it." I smile, Hopefully.

"I don't know," I reply, looking up at the stars, "What are you thinking about? You asked me, now I'm asking you."

I smile slightly. "Well, I was thinking about how much time I spend up here, it's really sad..." I say laughing at myself.

"That's not sad," I laugh slightly, "Great view. Nice place to come and think. Unless it get's invaded by irritating people like me in which case you're screwed."

"You're not irriating...the people who come up here, and refer to me as the keeper of the tower are irriating..." I say with a small laugh.

"The keeper of the tower? Nice. Sounds kind of ominous," I laugh slightly.

I stick my tongue out at him. "I hate it, but I just love it up here..." I say with a sigh.

I stick my tongue out at her back, "I've only been up here a couple of times before. Nice though. I like it. What do you love about it so much?" I ask.

"Before I found out that I wasn't a regular muggle, I was going to go to college for Astronomy..." I explain to him. "See, my father didn't think I could have magic, because my mum was a muggle, and he's a squib..." I say softly with a frown.

I watch her frown slightly but don't try and pry, just nod slightly.

I look at his expression and sigh. "My father killed my mum after I was born, and well he claims it was my fault so he abused me..." I say trying not to let my tears fall.

"Oh God, Shell, I'm sorry. You didn't have to-...I'm sorry." I say, putting a hand on her arm tentavely.

I look up at him with a few tears falling, but with a smile. "It's okay...he's in muggle jail now..." I say almost in a whisper. *or so i think...* I thought to myself as I remember the family mark on my arm.
