Harmony frowned slightly, "But we know how we were at that age. What would we need to see, you think?"

It amused her a little bit that...roles seemed to switch a little bit. Her younger self was quiet, she most definitely was not. It was just true testimony to how much she had grown since leaving the Ministry, how much secure she had become but...just looking at herself brought back memories that hurt. She was past it all, but it still hurt. Dante was right; how could they do that to children?

When Dante looked at her to confirm that they could stay, she nodded.

"I...don't know," Dante answered Harm honestly.

He didn't. It was just a stab in the dark actually. There could be a lot of reasons as to why the little selves were there and...maybe they weren't supposed to know.

"I think for now you guys should just stay here considering we don't know if someone did this or not and it wouldn't be safe for you guys to be running around outside."

Or to wander off.

Dante glanced at Harm, a little taken aback at her comment before he slowly smiled.

"Well, that's good to know," he said lightly.

Not understanding why sort of did bother him. Where was the logic in it? He couldn't help but be a little irked that his older self was suggesting they couldn't take care of themselves outside of the house.

"Don't get yourself all worked up. We'd be fine," Dante told him.

"Maybe they're here to see." Harm said softly. "We both were not in good places at that age and this might be giving them hope that things'll turn out well. Kind of..maybe tell them to just keep enduring, and everything will be okay."

It made sense to her, at least. Either that or someone was just playing around and they had nothing to worry about.

Dante suggested that the kids stay in and his younger self protested, she interfered gently, "She can't be outside with so many strangers, Dante. She's too liable to bite if she gets overwhelmed and people out there won't have the potions to fix it."

Harmony was silent for a while, just listening to the adults talk. Really? She didn't have much input. When her older self suggested that they were there to see that everything turned out in an unexpected - but she thought, good- way, she figured it'd make sense. After all, she was expecting to die in four years. Obviously she didn't.

Being told to stay there didn't bother her so much anymore, but when Dante protested - and then her older self explained, she felt a little bad.

Dante didn't have to stay stuck in the house just because she was. So lightly she tugged her hand out of his grip and stepped back a little.

"It's okay."

"That makes sense."

He didn't want anyone to get hurt and he also didn't want Harm to get hurt either or be upset again. When she let go of his hand he turned to look at her with a confused look on his face, and then he realized what she meant. Shaking his head he took her hand again.

"I won't go out if you can't," Dante told her, smiling as he said it. "We can just hang out here and I can teach you more magic tricks."

Looking at his older self he seemed to agree that was a better plan.

Harm watched Dante as he turned to look at her, watching as realization spread over his face. He just took her hand again though, and despite herself, she found herself smiling again.

He really was a sweet guy. She was glad that her older self had found him.

"I like that idea." She said, pulling the cards back out to give to him. Her older self enlarged them back to their original size, and then she and Dante spent the rest of the day playing with them.

Sam had given everything a couple days thought before she decided that figuring out each and every detail was a set up for failure. Then there was something to live up to, and she doubted anything thought out ever went according to plan. Before she left though she unlocked the door to Kat's room and, for once, left it open even after she left; the key safely tucked away in the silverware drawer in the kitchen. She had stopped by the mirror in the hall on her way to the door and contemplated whether to keep up looking as she did now, or to give up the disguise.

When it came down to it she hadn't been found for a while now, and if not by now then maybe never. For once she actually looked like herself since leaving the hospital months ago. Definitely something to readjust too.

Sam wasn't discrete this time either. There wasn't any sense in knocking on the door and being polite. She had done so simply for the job of figuring out which house. Once she had that it was a matter of figuring out who Harmony was and knowing the times when Dante wouldn't be home. Timing was everything.

Standing in the living room she purposely knocked something over with a rather arrogant smirk on her face. Her wand was in her right hand held at her side, but it wasn't the only option she had if it didn't work out.

When Harm heard that Rose had gone into labour, she'd wanted to go right away. However, it turned out that Dante had babysitting duty. That, of course, meant nine kids for him to take care of and three of those were newborns.

Naturally she couldn't leave him by himself like that; it'd just be cruel. Instead of relocating the five, Harm brought over Angel and Kitty and the boys, and then had come back to grab some of their toys.

So she knew she was home alone when she heard the crash. Her first thought was that one of the girls - or both, they didn't go places separate much anymore - had come back to 'help' her. But the sound of the lamp breaking told her otherwise; it was no where near the fireplace for that exact purpose.

Harm set down the toys and jogged down the stairs, her eyes already darkening slightly.

What she saw made them widen in shock, and then realization.

"I thought she was Sam..."

There was a twinge, and then she set her lips, looking at her lamp. "You must be Silver. What the hell are you doing in my house?"

Bitch had nerve.

Sam took a couple steps away from the broken lamp when she saw Harm, though the name definitely threw her off. Even if there were possible explanations she couldn't think of a single one. Maybe she had missed something after-all.

"I know I never gave you my name, but making one up on your own is pretty silly."

She was a bit annoyed by it really. With a grin still in place she went on though.

"Please don't tell him I was here. I'm sorry for wasting your time," Sam recited.

As for why she was there? That would completely ruin the point to outright say anything. Her name was one thing, but her plans? If there was anything she learned from Dante it was that sometimes you had to keep secrets.

Harm frowned. "Dante gave me your name. I'm fully aware what you guys did, so don't play dumb blonde with me. It may suit you but I don't want to hear it."

Realizing that it had been her, the other day, looking for Dante...oh merlin, it just made her angry. So she was trying to find the house, and trying to find him?

"He's not here right now. He's with our children. So I'm going to ask you to leave, and if he wants to talk to you, he'll find you." With a simple wave of her hand, the door slammed open, the lack of control resulting from the lack of control on her emotion. Cold air was flooding the room, but it wasn't bothering Harm. She was used to being cold.

"Leave." She emphasized, crossing her arms over her chest a moment later.

"He's with my daughter you mean. That's what you want isn't it? I'll leave and you'll get to go where-ever he is and stay with him? No."

That had to be the most irritating fact of it all. She hated the fact Harm was around Kat. Add to the fact the file had stated Harm was a vampire and the idea was even worse. How could he even trust her around Kitty? Around anyone or even himself? Clearly she didn't see how any of that could possibly work. This woman was just a monster in disguise.

She glanced back at the open door before she shook her head to reiterate the clear 'no' she had already said, and walked nearly right up to Harm.

"You're done playing house."

With her wand more tightly held in her hand she raised it.

My daughter.

Harm looked at the woman blankly for a few minutes, and then just said, "You're dead."

That's what she had been told. That's what Dante thought, she was positive he hadn't lied to her. She was dead, and it wasn't possible for her to be standing in her living room if she was dead. Sam, was dead.

But the comment still irked her. "My daughter, his daughter, and our sons. Our children. That's what I mean. And yes, I do want you to leave. I want you to leave, and never come back, because you are not welcome nor wanted here."

The no didn't surprise her, really. Neither did having a wand shoved in her face. It was a challenge of sorts, and her eyes faded to black before she realized she was doing it. How easy it would be to just kill the woman right then, taste human blood, and Dante would be nonethewiser. He had already grieved, and moved on. Moved on with her.

But it was against her nature to do that, so she just shoved the wand aside. "Get out of my house now."

The comment was in a way hurtful. That's what people thought but it wasn't true. If it weren't Davis then this situation wouldn't even be needed. If Harm wanted to go and blame anyone she should blame him. She was only doing what she needed to in order to get her family back.

"You wish I was."

She didn't know Harm but she knew she probably would do like Sam in doing what she had to protect her family. As much of a threat as Harmony was, she knew she herself was a threat in Harm's eyes too.

Sam watched her eyes fade to black and simply brought the wand back up. She hadn't wanted to be hasty about it, but she wasn't going to risk her getting the upper hand either.

"He'll thank me for this you know. He'll be happy to see me," she told Harm quickly before she gave it no other thought. "Incarcerous!"

Once she was bound then the next step could go much easier...

Harm shook her head; it didn't make sense and the longer it went on the more confused she got. Dante had said that there was a Silver that looked like Sam, and he had cheated on her with the woman. Now the real Sam was back? Honestly, Harm felt a little threatened, because she knew how much Dante loved her. Sam had come back when she and Dante were dating as well and Harm knew exactly how that went and...well, the woman was right. It was her daughter.

"For what? For breaking and entering, and ruining our furniture?"

The spell didn't catch Harm off guard, but her wandless magic, at best, was faulty when emotion was so high. She was still dealing with the excess hormones from being pregnant, still exhausted from their twin newborns, and she wasn't able to throw up a protego strong enough to resist the magical binds. Since they were so close, the spell hit her hard, and she stumbled back, falling against the wall.

"You think this will get your daughter back?" She asked after a moment, struggling to unbind her hands from behind her. Magical bonds weren't as easy as ropes were though, and it was proving too difficult.

"Do you really think he'd listen to me otherwise? Even believe that I'm alive? You're just useful enough to get his attention. Once he realizes who did it and why? I don't need to explain it to you."

Sam firmly believed that once she got her side of the story out then this could be over. They could take Kat and both go home. Their flat's were just separate places for when they were arguing or even needed space. The house bought by David, however, hadn't had anyone occupying it since the day Ryder nearly killed her. Of course that also meant no one even knew about the place...

"Trust me, this is going to work out for everyone."

She had kept the chloroform soaked rag wrapped up enough in her jacket pocket that despite how long she took to get to this point, it hadn't bothered her. She wasn't going to give Harm any chance of being able to fight back, and it would make getting her from the house a bit easier. Taking it from her pocket still wrapped in a different rag, she used that to hold it as she crouched in front of Harm and then pressed it to her face. Despite her squirming it only took a few moments till she was out and Sam stuck the rag back in her pocket.

The ready made note was left out in the open to be found on the coffee table, but of course without any signed name. For right now there wasn't even a location--that would be for the next note.

Sam put her hand on Harm's shoulder then and disapparated.

Dante apparated into the living room expecting to find Harm with a handful of toys and still trying to decide which ones she should bring. He expected her to hold up the two handfuls and look defeated when she asked him which ones. He would have laughed and just said to bring them all. Instead he was met with the overwhelming feeling something wasn't right. Even more so when he felt wind on his back and he turned around to see the door wide open; something that would never be left like that. The room was considerably colder because of it, but that wasn't what sent a chill down his spine.

He noted the broken lamp on the floor, but that seemed to be the only item trashed. Even the two things he saw made him instantly concerned.

Crossing the room he first shut the door, pausing as he did so with his hand on the handle. Thinking twice he then went upstairs and called her name while he checked rooms, but there was no one there. Now more panicked than ever he hurried back downstairs and spotted what he had missed before--a note. It was just sitting there on the coffee table; out of place and practically laughing at him for not being there sooner.

I wish I could have found a better way, but you wouldn't have believed me. We're going to have a bit of girl time and then I'll be in touch. I promise I can fix this.

Dante read the few lines over and over but it didn't make any more sense each time he did. He had one assumption in mind of who, and when it came to mind he crumpled up the note in his fist. No one was going to hurt Harmony. He didn't even think, no he knew, he couldn't live with himself if that happened. It was probably his fault. His own damn stupidity for getting involved with all the wrong people and it coming back to get him. Who was he to think he could just move past it and that make it right? Apparently that option wasn't working nor would it work.

He checked first he had his wand and then he disapparated with it still securely held in his hand.

Harm walked into Houghmagandy with a twin in either arm, Angel holding onto her beltloop and Kat holding onto Angel's hand. Immediately she sent the girls up to put away their coats and mittens and scarves, and since the twins were sleeping, she laid them down - but in their little playpens so they'd be close.

Before she did anything else though, she went down and pulled out a bag, setting the kettle for hot chocolate for the girls. Yes, it was nearing their bedtimes, but she didn't care. She hadn't seen them for a week, and she missed them. Only once she'd drank her fill, as much as she could handle, did Harm call the girls back down, and then sat at the table with them, her gaze on the boys, while asking the girls about their week, and hearing about the new Morvanna baby.

This? This was the way things were supposed to be. And all of it was going to change, and there was nothing she could do about it. Nothing.

That really upset her.

Dante came back to the house a few moments after Harm and he sat on the couch. Really he'd understand if Harm was upset at him, but she was probably just upset in general. He refused to let Sam barge back in and screw everything up. It wouldn't happen that way. When he heard Harm and the girls talking in the kitchen he got up and stood in the doorway of the room. He wasn't even sure what Kat would think. He'd never actually explained anything to her and she hadn't asked about Sam. Then again she had only just now started to talk again so maybe the questions would come up sooner or later.

"Do you need anything? Are you alright?" he asked Harm.

When he looked at Kitty though sitting with Angel, mimicking her too, he wasn't as sure about the promise made to Sam about her. Kat was happy where she was and she had taken a while to adjust as it was, and now she was going to be thrown into a whole other situation? Now he wished he would have actually thought about it more before he answered Sam.

Harm had been smiling at some story about the girls playing hide-and-go-seek against the boys and couldn't be found when Dante walked in, and it dropped slightly. Sure, all she had been thinking about when she had been sitting there in that living room was Dante coming, and getting her babies back.

She just didn't think that it'd be a trade.

"There's a strong probability she's going to find Els too." Harm told him, shaking her head as he asked her if she was alright. She wasn't okay.

Looking at Kitty scooping a marshmallow from her princess cup for a minute, Harm was holding back tears as she looked back at Dante, shaking her head, "I can't."

She couldn't just give Kitty up. She wouldn't let that woman walk into her home, and if he was going to take Kat away from her family? Harm didn't know what to think about that, but the idea itself was horrible to her.
