Cassie was horribly nervous, pacing her dorm over and over again. She hadnt slept, hadnt eaten...well less than she normally did. She had spent the last three days preparing and trying to calm her nerves. She watched the alarm clock click from 4 all the way to 5. She stood up and clicked on her music. As she moved around her room she looked at the photograph of her and Chase at Miu's party and smiled. Today she was going to meet his father. Oh good lord.

She had laid out her outfit the day before, after destroying her closet. She took a shower and walked back into her room with shorts and tee shirt. Sitting in front of the vanity she waved a wand over her hair. It fell into her natural beachy red waves, heading down her back. She pulled on a pair of dark blue skinny jeans, silver shoes and an off the shoulder green shirt. After applying some light makeup she grabbed her bag and headed out of her common room.

She headed through the Great Hall, now in a full fledged panic. They had promised to meet on the bench by the lake. She walked the grounds, thankful that they werent muddy until she saw the bench. She was now completly panicing. She sat down on the bench and waited for Chase to arrive trying not to faint.

Chase had written his father a letter. It wouldn't be to long until he left with Cassie to see his dad and he was in as much of a frenzy as she was. Breathing deeply he stood in the owlery and sent the letter off with the fastest owl he could find. He was wearing a muggle made suit. The same one he had worn on the train ride to Hogwarts two years ago. Cassie wasn't expected to be in dress clothes. He was. Putting his hands to his head and almost pulling his hair, he took a breath and moved through the castle. The air felt so shallow that he had to stop twice before he could get outside. "Maybe my tie is to tight..." He said to himself as he loosened it and made his way to the lake. Chase noticed that Cassie was already there and sped up a bit. Eventually sitting down beside her he took another breath. "Ready?"

Cassie was wringing her hands nervously in her lap. She was scared out of her mind. When she felt someone come up behind her she tensed nervously. She felt him sit down beside her and leaned her head on his shoulder, carefull not to mess up her hair. She shook her head, no. "Im ready." she stuttered. She stood up and continued to wring her and turned to him. "You look nice" she said smiling softly before pacing.

"Really?" He said wrapping an arm around her until she stood. He stood as well. "I'm not." Blinking a few times he forced a smile and took her into a hug. "When we get there I may need to pop six or seven pills for headaches..." He said in a light whisper as he imagined the manor. "My father likes order. He likes things to be done his way..." Chase felt a shiver but didn't know if it was Cassie or him. "Just don't talk until we get past the introductions and... Looks... And you should be fine." He said. Chase sighed. It seemed he would be forced to remember his brother's names. All four of them.

Cassie relaxed into the hug and took a few deep breaths. "I've already popped a Xanex" she said trying not to panic. Cassie nodded to him, listening to every word he said and devouring it. "Or I dont talk at all and I stand there and look okay" she said grinning. "Ready to go. Im ready. im fine. IM totally fine" she blabbered waiting for the Xanex to kick in. She brushed the hair out of his eyes and grabbed his hands.

Again he felt a shiver, but this time he was sure it was him and that honestly worried him. Clearing his throat and closing his eyes, he nodded. "Yeah. Sure." Looking at her with a half smile he took another breath. "I'll give you a subtle nod or something when he's expecting you to talk or do - something... Kay?" Chase was almost talking under his breath but had finally gotten a smile out... A full one.

Cassie nodded and gripped his hands tighter. her nerves were getting to her and she felt suddenly faint. "oohok sure. I will only speak when you tell me too.Oh I wish i swas more ready. Lets go" she said nervously trying to keep up an air of confidence. She wanted to do this for Chase and determind herself to be strong for him. She smiled, fake and confident as she nodded her readiness to him.

"I bet you a million dollars that you won't be as nerve wracked as you are now after we get there..." Chase hadn't quite planned how they were going to get there, mostly because he wanted to do whatever was the most comfortable way for her to travel.

Cassie's eyes widened and she sighed. "okay I guess" she said grinning. "How are we getting there, portkey flying...anyway is good with me. Its your choice" she said smiling softly. Cassie wasnt sure he was right but she supposed that he did know best and was actually starting to get excited to meet Callie.

Chase nodded, realizing that she was still a bit uneasy, he smiled and kissed her lightly. "Thestrals are always fast. And they provide cover from any muggles... Because they're invisible to the hide their rider somewhat..." Chase said with a smile. "Never really liked the feeling of a portkey..." He spoke that last sentence in an almost whisper.

Cassie nodded to him and looked t the forest sure enough there were two thestrals. She whistled to them and accoided some meat from the kitchen. They came to the meat and soon Cassie had petted one. "Ready. Im following you" she said gently boarding er thestral. She was nervous but nodded to him and the thestral.

"Are you sure you're alright?" He asked in a reassuring way. It seemed he had gotten over his fear of visiting his father, but really he had just pushed it aside for her sake. As he smiled at her and got on the second Thestral his face went a bit softer. "We can always go later if you like?" He had started speaking, but the Thestrals had already started to move. Holding on he shrugged and whispered instructions to the beast. Simple. Easy. "Can you take us to the Train station in London please?"

Cassie shrugged and smiled sheepishly. "Yea..sure. No problems. " she said controliing her breathing. "No we go now...I ahve to do it." As the thestrals took off Cassie immediatly calmed down. She loved flying. She smiled zspreading her arms wide. It wasnt a long journey, merely ten minutes but she loved it. As the thestrals zoomed over London she waved to no one, loving it completly. The thestral landed at the train station as the thestral carrying Chase drew closer.

They were on the roof of the station and Chase got of the Thestral, throwing a peice of meat that had appeared. "Thank you. You can go back now." Moving close to Cassie, he helped her off not because she needed the help, but because he wanted to help. Then, the Thestrals were gone. Taking her hand and turning in a certain direction, he pointed to a large almost mansion-like house. It was about three or three and a half blocks away. "That's the manor..." There was a stairway that led into the station and they took it down and out after a few minutes. Immediately, a large white limo with the letters SV in gold on the trunk was in sight. "I suppose my father got my owl then..."

Cassie saw the manor, standing on her tip toes, not easy int he shoes she was in. She pulled out a compact and saw she still looked pristine like she had not even taken the ride. She sighed and made a little. "wow" at the Manor. As he lead her through the station she became increasingly nervous and hoped he couldnt notice. As the Limo appeared her eyebrows went into her hairline."Ace" she said as the man who was driving opened the door and let her in. He looked friendly enough and she hoped it was a good omen.

Chase smiled a bit and got in the other door with a nod at the driver. Sitting opposite her he smiled. "This is my other option for getting to Hogwarts... But I wouldn't miss the train ride." Giving a slight shrug, he smiled again. "You like limos? They get tiresome after a while..." Looking out the window he took a bottle of firewhiskey out of a compartment and took a swig. "Want some? Might calm any remaining nerves you have..." He blinked twice. "We'll be there in about a minute or so..."

Cassie laughed. "Yes the train rides are the beginning essene of what we believe of Hogwarts" she said giggling. As he held up the bottle of firewhiskey she was tempted to take it and down the whole thing. But she didnt. Cassie took the bottle and took a small swig waiting to get there. She handed the bottle back to him with a small grin.

Chase nodded. He could see her temptation and felt the same way, yet he still capped the bottle back off. Tucking it inside a hidden pocket only after he shrunk it down in size. "Just in-" The limo stopped and the doors opened quickly. "-Case." Chase got out and moved around to her side quickly. The manor was, just like the limo, large and white. The door was a golden color and the letters SV were, again, labeled on it. Around the upper levels there were two dementors moving around every level. "And he did bulk up security..." Putting his arm out like a gentleman he too a breath and only walked after a moment. There was what seemed to be a doorbell beside the door, but it was red and Chase looked at it for a moment before digging into his pocket and taking out his badge. The badge went into a slot on the door and when it disappeared, he took his thumb up to his lips and bit it until it bled. Touching the 'doorbell' with his thumb he waited until the door swung open to take out his wand and heal it. There were five men at the end of the long hall. Four of them looked the same. One... Was his father.

Cassie suddenly felt extremely faint and leaned against Chase so she wouldnt faint. She never felt this nervous before a competition but then again it wasnt everyday you meet extremely scary people. She watched as Chase open the door and she climbed out, staggering a bit then regaining her balance. She looked up at the HUge house. It was beautiful and majestic, like the ones in the storybooks. She loved the color scheme and it looked like such a happy place until she looked up and saw the dementors. "wow." she said noting her accent was especially strong that day. She watched keenly as CHase inserted his badge, occaisionally looking up at the dementors as if they would swoop down . As he bit his finger till it bled she gave him a sympathetic smile. She began to fill her mind with happy memories and felt the medicine and firewhickey kick in and she felt great. She put on her broad confident grin and held onto Chase's arm as he opened the door to reveal the quads and his father,

Straining himself to remember his brother's names as he closed the door and walked down the long hall that had a red carpet leading from the door to the stairs behind his family he smiled. About two or three feet away. Chase nodded at his brothers then to his father. Motioning for Cassie to stay where she was he stepped off to the side beside his father. "This is my father Traiton Summerview. And these are my brothers. Erin. Sander. Bryten. And Cradie." Though the four looked almost the same, there were a few things about them. Erin had glasses. Sander and Cradie both had freckles, and Bryten seemed to be the most fortunate of the four because he was actually not so nerdy looking. Bryten was standing closest to Chase's father. Obviously the favorite. "And this is Miss Cassie Jordyn."

"Pleasure." The five echoes together making a sound that was like grating chalk. And just after the male voices called out, a little girlish one did so.

"Daddy! Can I come down and say hello now! I MISS CHASE!" The little girl obviously didn't care much for yes or no's and she bounded down the stairs in more casual clothing than Cassie. Wearing little shorts with the words 'surfer girl' on them and a spagetti strap shirt, she jumped on Chase whom lifted her quickly. "Chase!"

Cassie smiled broadly at them trying to remember their names. She put it in her memory of their names. Master Traiton Summerview was obviously the father that she could remember. The quads were a little more difficult. Glasses was Erin obviously. Sander and Cradie was it? had freckles. And bryten was daddy's boy. She smiled broadly at then. Not sure whether to speak or not. She fely uncomfortable but didnt let them see that when she heard a little girl voice. She saw a little girl burst out, nearly laughing but keeping her silence when she saw the surfer girl and run into Chase. Her smile seemed to both soften and widen at the sight of the little girl. She was adorably just as CHase said she was. She couldnt wait to see her in Australia.

Chase smiled slightly at Callie's clothes but his father did not look pleased. "And this is Callie." The little girl let her very blonde hair out of the ponytail it had been in and kissed her brother on the cheek for a moment. Chase, getting the idea, put her down. Callie moved over to Cassie and circled her with a look on her face. Spinning around in a circle, her clothes were different when she went steady. In a pretty green dress she laughed a bit until her father told her not to do that. Then she merely shrugged and moved her hands in a way that called Cassie down to her level.

Chase smiled as Callie did this. He was the only one who didn't think it was a harm for the girl to change clothes. The brothers went up the stairs. All but Bryten.

Cassie smiled brightly, biting her lip subtley so not to laugh, for CHase had told not to do it, The little girl, Callie, was adorable and sweet and devious and Cassie immedaitly loved her. As the little girl Changed clothes Cassie was impressed for such a young girl it was great magic. She watched with the same smile as she circled her. She knew Callie was protective of CHase. She liked that in the girl. She reminded her almost of herself at that age minus the blonde locks. She calmed her nerves and as the other byos went upstairs she wondered why Bryten was still there.

Finally, when Callie realized that Cassie didn't notice her asking her to kneel down, she called over Chase. Chase was a sucker for his sister, so he came right away and lifted her up. Callie never liked to be shorter than anybody. "I am Callie Dwighte Summerview." Her eyes looked as if they were studying Cassie's face until the four year old smiled brightly again. "But you can call me Cal!" Chase laughed a bit. He could feel eyes on the back of his neck and he stood beside Cassie now to look at his father and his younger brother.

For the first time, Traiton spoke, but not to Cassie, about her. "Just as I guessed it." He said looking from Cassie to Bryten. "I told you didn't I?"

"Yes father."

"And what did I tell you?"

Bryten smirked. It was hard to tell which one of the two looked more sinister, but Bryten definitely had better looks than his father. "That Chase would meet some 'perfect' surfer girl who he thought could change your mind on certain issues that your mind will not be changed on."

"Correct. Bryten, you can go now." Traiton watched with a genuine smile as he favorite child left. Then his gaze fell back on the three in front of him. "Is that what you thought Chase?"

Cassie smiled at the little girl and couldnt help to let out a tiny giggle. "G'day there Callie" she said softly, her accent prominant. Cassie then heard Master Summerview speak for the first time. She heard them speak of her, in a way that wasnt so nice. But then again she beamed at being called Perfect. She had the urge to snarl and bawl her fists. but kept her mind focused on Evvie and Callie and managed to keep that smile on her face. She smiled at the two person brightly remembering something her mom had told her. She turned to CHase and smiled once again looking at the two men, now one.

Chase let his momentary glare at his father recede and shoo his head. "No father. I was hoping that you would like her for who she is because I'm not planning on letting her go any time soon." He couldn't quite look at Cassie at the moment, not wanting to explain what his father was talking about.

Traiton nodded and this time spoke to Cassie and Callie. "I am glad you came dear." He was looking at Cassie, but how he spoke made it seem as though he was lying. "Callie. Be a dear and take Miss Jordyn upstairs. Perhaps give her a tour?"

Chase shook his head. "No father." He said again. He was still holding Callie in his arms and balancing her almost on a hip. "That's my job remember." Chase began to walk away and shifted so that he held Callie in one arm instead of both, then took Cassie's hand with the other. Father wanted them to stay for a while. He knew that. Callie knew that. Did Cassie?

Cassie smiled at Master Summerview. As Chase defended her, her face turned a light shade of pink but she didnt stop smiling. She was determind to make him like her. "Thank you Sir" she said polietly, her accent strong and proud. Cassie slipped her hand into CHases and smiled at Callie brillaintly. From the way she saw it, Master Summerview wanted them to stay a while. It was up to Chase and obviously Callie. She followed CHase now smiling softly brushing a strand of hair out of her eyes as the Trio Left the room.

Once out of the room, Chase heard his father climbing the steps. Placing his little sister on the ground he sat on what was either a couch or a hammock depending on how you lay on it. When he got on it turned to a hammock. He had let go of Cassie's hand and a slight sigh escaped him. "Not to bad all and all..." He said looking at her and making room so she could get in the hammock as well if she liked. "I was able to do that thing where I move my lips and words come out, so I would call it a success..."

Callie looked at her brother and did that spinny change clothes thing again. Back into what she had been wearing before, she put her blonde hair back up into a green ponytail again. Pulling herself up, she lay on her brothers stomach. "Chase... Chase's girlfriend..." Was that what she was going to do forever? He really hoped not. "What is Hogwarts like?"

"It's Cassie." Chase said correcting Callie with a smile.

Ooc: You can feel free to say stuff and play as Callie and the quads as well if you like.

As Cassie heard Chase's father finally get upstairs she let out a large sigh. "Oh good lord that was so nerve wracking" she let out so fast no one probably could understand her. She had wanted to literally die back there. "God he's nice" she said a smile cracking on her face. "Nice job talking love" she said winking at him playfully and rolling her eyes. It was nice to let go and just be herself. Cassie sat next to them and shook her hair out letting it fall naturally over her shoulders. "God they are like the evil twins" she said,

She turned to Callie. "G'day there again. Cassie Jor'yns the name" she said grinning. The girl looked at her for a moment suspiciously then shook her hand. Leaning on her hands she grinned at the girl. "Hogwarts is amazing. There's so much magic. And a lake with a squid in it, and a a big forets with unicorns in them" she replied and the little girl leaned fowards eyes wide. "Unicorns" she asked and cassie noddded excitedlyl. "And a kitchen that is ALWAYS sticked with everything and a Room of Requirement that can become anything in your wildest dreams from a mountain top to a beach" she continued excitedly smiling sincerely.

"I'll get to go there when Chase is in his seventh year..." The little girl said with a grin. "Me and Chase have the same birthday you know!!!" Callie was over that protect her brother thing. "Otherwise I'll have to go to beau-beau- Chase, what's it called?"

"Beaubatons you mean?"

"Yeah! But what's the fun in going to an all girls school? There'll be no boys." Callie smiled up at Cassie. "Do you like other boys Cassie?" Chase choked for a moment and was forced to sit up, which made Callie giggle a bit.

Cassie smiled brightly. "Oh you'll love Hogwarts I can already tell" she said. Cassie began to laugh as Chase chocked on what Callie said. She shook her head at him and turned back to Calliel. "Oh of course I do. My best friends are boys. One is Logan, and he is so hilarious and the other is Khai. He lives in Australia with me. And we both surf. By the way I love the shorts" she said. The little girl beamed up at her, "But I do have something special with your brother. He is the sweetest" she said grinning at him. "So are the quads always like that and whats the deal with your father" she said quietly.

Callie had smiled about the comment about her shorts. "Chase got them for me." She said with a smile before getting back on topic. "No... I mean... Like them." She didn't really care that her brother was there, she just wanted to know. Chase choked again but Callie didn't laugh this time. "You know... Like you like Chase."

Chase went along, after he stopped choking, to answer Cassie's question. "The three of them just stay quiet. Bryten is the one that has a tounge. But it can't be helped. He's our father's favorite..." Chase shrugged as he tried to make Cassie forget Callie's question. "But I really can't explain my father..."

Cassie poked CHase's nose playfully."I dont like anyone like I like your brother and he is super special." she said grinning and giggling slightly at the girl. "And I like Chase's fashion sense for girls clothing is exquisite." she said grinning broadly at her. She really liked the little girl and felt a special connection with her and enjoyed it greatly spending time with the girl.

Cassie smiled at him. "Are any of the quads...nice. I mean Breyton obviosuly has as additude issue but ya know maybe one of them is nice. I know they stay quiet but ya know" she said laughing. Ah well" she said not listening to her father. She cracked her knuckles, crossed her legs and smiled at both of them green eyes sparkling brightly.

Callie smiled. "Oh..." She said as if she were hoping Cassie did. This reaction made Chase frown a bit but as soon as Callie flashed him a smile he was hooked again. "Did you used to?" She asked with another sweet smile. "Before Chase?"

Chase didn't mind that question as much. It still made him uneasy but if he had to pick from the two he would have definitely picked the second one. "They don't talk enough to be nice. If someone speaks to them they ignore you. Unless it's father..." He smiled. "And yes I do have very good taste!"

Cassie shook her head in the no motion. "I dont like and never liked anyone like I like your brother and I really do have feelings for him" she said smiling at Chase brightly. Cassie smiled at Callie. "You have no idea how much you make me miss my little brother Evvie. He's just like you" she said smiling at Callie softly.

Cassie looked up. "So If I talk to them they wont talk to me...oh and your father kind of scares me" she said softly. Truth was he did. Suddenly her keen ears picked up footsteps of someone coming down the stairs. "Someones coming" she whispered smiling at them with that stupid fake grin again in case anyone came in. "Human footsteps" she said. The door began to open.

Nemo. Wearing shoes? Or... Stones, on his feet. Bricks were attatched to his feet as he walked and Chase sighed. "Nemo! Get them off your feet!" He didn't usually order Nemo around. Normally he would just ask, but he wasn't in the mood for a no thank you. Then the feet came in behind the elf. It was obviously a muggle. "Darwin?" Chase said with a look of surprise. "What the hell... He's a muggle from down the road." The last part he whispered to Cassie.

"Your father asked me if I wanted to go hunting..."

Chase and Callie exchanged looks. "Don't do it!" They said together, but then Darwin noticed Cassie. He would never leave now.

"Chase... You do realize that you have..." The muggle looked awestruck. "Her... In your hammock right?"

Cassie watched as a boy walked though the door. She cocked her head to the side and mentioned himself wanting to go hunting with Master Summerview. She chimed along with them "Dont do It!" she had heard about the muggle hunting. Suddenly the boy looked at her. She felt slightly uncomfortable and looked at Callie and Chase witha weak smile. Turning back to the boy she smiled. "G'day there. Cassie Jor'yn" she introduced herself waving awkwardly. "Erm Yea I do relize im here" she said her accent she wished would go away.

The muggle's mouth dropped when she introduced herself. "You've been on TV!" He said, his eyes widening. "You're awesome!" It was worse than Chase's reaction when he met Cassie.

"Eyes off Darwin. She's mine." He felt the need to say it. Darwin was one of those muggles that always knew things about Tv, but wouldn't actually know what they meant.

His mouth dropped again. "Why the bloody hell didn't you tell me you're new girlfriend was surfing royalty!?!"

"I didn't think it was that imp-"

"Not imp- Not imp.... CHASE!!! IT'S BLOODY CASSIE JORDYN!" Again, he had to shake his head to speak.

Cassie blushed a bright shade of red as he reconized her. I mean sure, she won a whole lot of awards and competitions but didnt know that anyone would really reconize her. She turned her face away and grinned at him. "Yea thats me" she said awkwardly. "im only a junior leaguer. Im not old enough to be in the high leagues. Im no Kelly Slator but I think I am one of the junior tops" she said sheepishly. She looked at Callie with a pleading look. She bit her lip gently. she felt incredibly awkward this muggle. She had crazy fans before so she understood the situation, but nevertheless it was odd

"Well, Chase isn't old enough to charm anyone older than you so it all works." Darwin said with a boyish grin as he looked at her again.

"Yeah..." Chase said in a whisper before going a bit louder. "Poor choice of words there buddy..." The muggles hadn't the faintest idea that Chase was a wizard, but he still didn't feel all too comfortable when they used certain words.

Callie laughed. "You put a charm on her?"

"Figure of speech darling. Not even Chase could really do that..." Darwin smiled at Callie and Callie shut up.
