Wishing I could tell her. (King Cross Station)
(Continuation of Khalid’s Island, Getting the Upper Hand)
Troy Spellman
Troy had been standing waiting for the children to come for the Hogwarts Express. He decided to wear his leather jacket today. He knew a certain young lady would be happy to see him again. 'I was stupid to try and confront The Dark Shadow, Tia's second year. I should have waited for Seth and the others.' ,Troy thought looking at the scar on his wrist. He had spent a year in the hospital for his mistake and Seth said that Tia blamed herself. 'Dang, that girl had enough to worry about without blaming herself for my over zealous behavior.' ,Troy thought. Seth and William had really let into him at Mungo's when he woke up. Troy had known he had messed up big time. The worst thing was that they had missed. 'I can't even tell her the truth.' ,Troy thought shaking his head, knowing that it was his fault that Tia still had to go by Spellman. 'Not for long, Tia, Not for long.', he thought smiling. If Troy Spellman had his way Tia's problem will be fixed by Christmas. Troy stuck the Aurors Training letter into his jacket pocket as he saw Chris Newcastle board the train. Thinking with his hand in his pocket, 'The rest will be coming.' With that thought Troy Spellman knew that this time he planned on making sure that nothing happened to Tia Spellman or her friends.
David Valentine
Why'd did morning always have to be so early? Valentine thought as he pulled into the parking lot of King's Cross Station in his black Suburban. It was an american made vehicle purely for the reason that the British made zero vehicles that could fit a party of four when three of them had to pack lots of luggage. The parking lot was crowded but David was lucky enough to get a spot about halfway up the lot.
Stepping out of the car, he put his dark sunglasses on to ward off the bright sunlight. He wore his usual suit today, but it didn't look to formal. It looked more casual. A casual suit was a very hard thing to pull off, but David could do it. "C'mon kids. Trains waiting for you." He gave Rufus Scipio, who was getting out of the passenger seat, a conspiritorial nod. In return, Rufus gave him a thumbs-up to show he was ready.
Valentine smiled. He was really impressed with Rufus and all the hard work he'd been doing the last few months. He helped unload Penelope's luggage, leaving Rufus and James to work out theirs for themselves. After all, they were big boys. A quick check to his wristwatch showed him the time, and it was getting mighty close. He checked to be sure his wand was up his sleeve ready to go and took off with kids in toe down the parking lot towards the entrance to Platform 9 3/4.
As he got closer he flashed back to a particular moment there where he had a confrontation with a man known as Troy Spellman. He was a guard at 9 3/4 and a sorry excuse for one at that. Even as he said that he realized that he may be incompetent but he did spoil his whole purpose for being there. Tia Tocenema. He was going to take her that day, but the wretched man got in the way. No worries, Troy was back on full duty after spending a year in the hospital for the injuries that Val had inflicted on him. If he met Troy again today, then he would not be so lucky this time. A year in the hospital will sound appealing.
But he probably wouldn't meet Troy today as Valentine had no plans to venture onto Platform 9 3/4. All of his plans would go into motion from the outside while Rufus would do his part inside. He loked at Rufus, who walked a little further ahead so he could get into position. He certainly will make a great Seven member some day. He smiled for the second time that morning.
Tocanema Tia Spellman
Tia was running late as usually. The car had died about three times on their way to get Telk and William. Tia was starting to get comfortable having Telk Brooks around. Sure he was a joker but harmless.
Tia had asked Seth about the Runes Professor Tarik but didn't get no straight answer. 'Seth and his secrets?', Tia thought as she wondered how she would know who to trust when Seth didn't tell her who was protecting her. He had only told her that she was being protected and then spent an hour talking to her about the dangers of leaving Hogwarts.
Tia remembered both times, she had ran. The first was when Tarik had said Andreas in class. The second was that Christmas when Troy got hurt. That had been twice he had gotten hurt because of her. The first was a mild attack her first year. The second was last year and Troy was just now getting back to work. Seth had told her that Troy was fine and more worried about her.
Her thought were still on her memories as they got out of the car on her way to the platform and Troy.
(occ: I have William Brooks and Telks permission to say they are with Tia and Seth)
Rufus Scipio
Rufus was reeling with his plan as they pulled into the parking lot at King's Cross. He looked over at Val who nodded his head. The message was clear : Let's do this. Are you ready? He gave him a thumbs up and got out of the car. He went through the back seat to grab his luggage and piled it near the car while he ran and got a cart. He brought one back for himself and one for Penny. He had to admit that Penny got cuter every year. James could fend for himself.
He took off as soon as his stuff was loaded and looked back just long enough to see that everyone was following. He approached King's Cross with a watchful eye. He had to be sure that Tia wasn't already here and satisfied that she wasn't anywhere on the muggle side, he navigated towards the Platform opening and plunged through.
Once on the other side he did another take looking for Tia. She was not on the Platform, but he did however spot Troy Spellman. Valentine had told him all about his encounter with that idiot. He smiled at the thought of the year of hospital time he took due to Val's attack. Rufus loaded his stuff onto the train and did a walk to see that Tia was not already sitting in there. Satisfied that she had not yet arrived, he went to a compartment where two first years were sitting. He went in there and scared them out of the seat and put up a reserved sign so that no one would take it. Of course, he would remove it before letting Tia inside the compartment.
He went back outside to look for Penny so that they could begin to execute the operation. The plan was that he knock down Telk, the boy who would be with her and while Troy the helpful guard was helping him, then Rufus would escort Tia to her new seat on the train. Flawless.
Penelope Onaris
Penny smiled out of the muggle transportation vehicle at the familiar train station that David had just turned into. As much as she hated muggle inventions such as the one she was sitting in, she had to admit that it was a pretty darn impressive idea. It would be horrible to be riding in carriages with horses to and from places almost everyday. Penny scrunched up her nose at the thought of all the horse’s after math that would be out in the streets if that were true. “Ugh,” she said under breath. “Stop thinking about it.”
Penny smiled at David. She knew what was going to be taking place that day and knew he probably just wanted to get it over with. Nodding a “thanks” at James, who was holding the door open for her like the gentleman he was, Penny stood by the car, knowing that the boys were probably going to be doing her work for her. Especially Rufus. Again, Penny blushed at any thought or mention of the boy who surprised her by coming back with a cart for her. James who saw his sister’s blush and the only two carts and not three, smirked, snorted, and said in a laughing tone, “Jerk.” Then, went to get his own cart. While passing Rufus, James “accidentally” rammed into Rufus’s shoulder and said in a not so sorry tone, “Oh, I’m sorry there, mate. Should watch where you’re going next time.”
Glaring daggers at her brother‘s retreating back, Penny leaned against the suburban to wait for instructions like she was supposed do after all of her trunk was on her cart.
((I had permission from James for him to be in this post! I am truly going to love this guy!))
Troy Spellman
Troy was checking on the time and most of the other students were already here. Looking around he didn't see Telk or Tia. Where are they? he thought worried.
Troy thought that it was more like that she could not remember who. He planned on keeping his adopted sister safe, even if that meant lying about Valentine to everybody, including her. For some reason, the man had let her go. Then Troy smiled patting his pocket he thought, That is the last time Valentine, that you will get that close.
Looking at the entrance to the Platform, he was worried that Telk and Tia only had twenty minutes before the entrance locked and the train gave last call. This was cutting it way too close. Could something have happened? Maybe I should signal for Dempsey., Troy thought worried than he saw Telk Brooks come though. Troy knew that Tia would be the next one though. Then Seth and William. They made it. ,thought Troy as he wondered why William had not come though first. He shook it off due to knowing that Tia really had not like the bodyguards. Seth probably just changed the order., Troy thought as he scanned the area for Valentine, who was no where in sight.
(occ: I had permission to say what was said about Telk, Seth and William. Troy did not see Valentine but that doesn't mean he was not there.Val said in earlier post where he would be.)
David Valentine
Valentine looked over at the girl Penny. It wouldn't be such a bad thing, Penny and Rufus getting together. Khalid's favorite granddaughter and my perfect pupil. What a team they would make. Think of all they could accomplish together. Almost like me and Khalid. "Alright my dear? Hope you are ready for today and I don't just mean for school. You and your stunning beauty are the center of todays plan. Once yoiu get through, give your luggage to James and he will stow it away for you. Then meet up with Rufus. Once he "accidently" trips the boy Telk and his stuff is "spilled" all over the platform, you will go help him pick it up. But the most important thing is that you ask the guard Troy Spellman to help you. He'll be standing right by the entrance. UNderstand? Now run along and get into place."
Valentine escorted Penny and James to the Platform and watched as they ran head long through the entrance. Satisfied that Tia was not already here, as Rufus would have sent word, he settled onto a bench not far from the entrance, yet far enough to not rouse suspicion. He pulled out a copy of that days muggle newspaper and proceeded to "read" it. The newspaper acted like a one sided window. On David's side and with the use of his modified sunglasses, he could see through the paper out onto the Platform and beyond. Yet from the other side, it looked like a normal paper.
Here he would sit and watch for Tia and this Telk boy, Once they went through he would lock the gate so that Seth would not be able to get through. Thus Rufus picking her up and wisking her away while Telk, who had fallen and hurt himself, would be keeping Troy busy. Simple. Although it grated him that he could not kill the man yet. Sooner or later, he could be dangerous, because once Tia got part of her memory back then she would start asking more questions. And Troy would answer them. Idiot.
Tocanema Tia Spellman
Tia looked at Seth and said, "Seth, I'll be fine. Let Telk go first instead of his grandfather please?" Tia had known from her friends that the addition of a lot of Aurors at King's Cross was making people nervous. So Tia had been getting Seth not to bring so many. Looking at William she said calmly, "I know that you guys are still worried because of last Christmas. But me and Telk are a team now, let us go first. Troy will be on the other side. We stay by him until you are though okay." Nodding at Telk as he went though, she said, "Now see nothing happened. I haven't been attacked since last Christmas break. Whatever the person wanted, he had two weeks with me."
Looking over to the benches, Tia saw a man reading a paper thinking, Why do I get the feeling that I have seen him before? As she tried to remember from where she saw that Seth was also looking at the man. Turning to Seth and William, "The attacks have stopped, so the person must have decided that like Marcus said I am no threat." Tia was not going to tell them about her latest message. If they can't be straight with me then why should I show them the present I found after returning from Diagon Alley., thought Tia.
Remembering the note at the bottom of the box, Tia knew that the person had just made this game all the more important. The note had reminded her about getting her friends involved. It also said something about showing her this term how weak they really were. What worried Tia as she again looked at the man with the newspaper and a few people that were sitting near him, was this Christmas present that the note referred to. Tia had not even realized that she had been rubbing her medallion until it fell off in her hand. Handing it to William who was closer for him to fix.
Seth gave her the signal to go though. Once William put the medallion back on her neck, Tia walked though the portal, thinking, I have a few presents of my own. Tia was going to be telling the Allies that the stakes just got higher.

'Not like the one leaving me presents the last two years.' ,Tia thought as she looked at Telk and hoped that the messenger was getting as bored with the game as she was.
Tia had asked Seth about the Runes Professor Tarik but didn't get no straight answer. 'Seth and his secrets?', Tia thought as she wondered how she would know who to trust when Seth didn't tell her who was protecting her.

Troy Spellman
Troy was checking on the time and most of the other students were already here. Looking around he didn't see Telk or Tia. Where are they? he thought worried.
He started to remember last Christmas. The Aurors had gotten a warning that an attack might happen. Seth's tires came up missing. It was Tia's second year and Telk 's first. Telk had been helping a pretty girl. Troy orders were to watch but not to interfere until Seth and the others came. He had waited. That was until he saw David Valentine. The man was right next to Tia. Troy had exploded inside. This man was responsible for his father's death and most likely Tia's mother's as well. Troy was not about to let him hurt Tia. While Tia was in the bathroom he confronted the man. That was the last thing he remembered until he woke up at the hospital a month later. He had found out that the Aurors had found her two weeks later. She was unable to say who took her or why.
Troy thought that it was more like that she could not remember who. He planned on keeping his adopted sister safe, even if that meant lying about Valentine to everybody, including her. For some reason, the man had let her go. Then Troy smiled patting his pocket he thought, That is the last time Valentine, that you will get that close.
