The three girls were content to sit around and talk with their new kids at the dinner table, when the sound of a knock was heard at the door.

"Ugh! Someone else get it?" Carol asked pleadingly.

"I'll do it." Milla said with a wink. "Can't keep any guests waiting now, can we?"

Lilac just giggled lightly at that and Isaac did the same. Milla walked over to the door and opened it up. "Hello! How can I help you today?" She asked politely.

On the other side of the door were humans wearing brown robes. They all looked very serious and nervous at the same time. "Excuse us ma'am, but we are looking for a human child. Messy black hair, a lightning bolt shaped scar on his forehead."

Lilac overheard this, and immediately had a bad feeling about this. She placed Harry down on her seat and ran to the door, her eyes narrowed in annoyance. "What do you want with Harry?!" She demanded fiercely.

"Well, you see, it's nothing too major, we just..."

"What will it take to convince you to hand him over?"

"What?!" She shouted glaring at the man who asked than her eyes narrowed in furry.

"Subtle." Another man groaned looking annoyed. The guy sighed. "Look that kid is important! His...uh..,his family is worried sick about him!" He said trying to play up her emotions.

Lilac looked at the man with a blank expression for several long seconds, baffled by the fact that he thought she would fall for such a blatant, unapologetic lie.

And then she wordlessly slammed the door shut in their faces and walked away, shaking her head in disgust.

The others heard a slap then the door opened on its own with the one who talked before holding his head in pain and a woman looking very stern and slightly agitated. "Apologies, Mr. Storm has issues that will be brought up at a later point." She said glaring at the man. "Can you and I have a conversation involving Harry James Potter please?"'shevasked in a serious tone of voice.

Jul 22Lilac narrowed her eyes. "You're NOT taking him! Get out of our house NOW!"

In the kitchen, Carol heard the commotion and blinked nervously s before placing Crona down. "Uh...Just...wait here for a sec, all right, kiddies? I'll be right back." Carol said.

"Are they talking about me...?" Harry said softly.

"I dunno, kid, but I do know that you're not going anywhere. We'll deal with this." Carol replied with a grin.

Out front, Lilac was still arguing with the wizards. "I don't care if you work for some stupid ministry! He's NOT yours to take! He stays with me, and that's final!"

The wizards finally lost their patience. "That is enough! We need that boy in OUR world, and we will have him if we have to take him by force! Now hand him over right now, or-"

And then, abruptly, her and the two men were frozen on the spot, just as Carol stepped into the room.

"All right, what's...going..." Carol's voice trailed off at the frozen wizards. Milla had clapped her hands over her mouth. Lilac was just staring with wide eyes.

"Hey, y-you guys." A familiar voice sounded out, and they looked to see the elderly man from yesterday, and this time with a teenage boy with short brown hair.

"R-Rick, was that really necesarry? I-I mean, y-you could've found some other way to deal with 'em, y'know?"

"Ah, don't worry about it, Morty."

"You...It's...I...WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Lilac shrieked.

"Wh-What's it look like I did, dragon girl? I-I-I froze 'em." Rick replied, gesturing to the frozen statues. "Th-They should be back to n-normal at some point, I guess." And then the statues abruptly fell to pieces. "...Or not."

The three just state at the two with wide horrified eyes. "Y-you killed them. You killed them!" Lilac shouted.

"The hell was that for!" Carol snapped holding a distraught Milla in her arms trying to comfort the poor girl. Milla has already passed out from the shock.

Rick shrugged his shoulders. "Eh..." He replied.

"No 'Eh'!" Lilac exclaimed. "You made Milla faint!"

"Wow, some people can't handle a little violence, huh, Morty?"

"Aw, geez, Rick, y-you know, you're always...always killing people! Th-They could have had families, y'know? And-And friends, and-"

"All right, all right, I'm gonna stop ya right there, Morty. Those people are from the-the ministry of magic, Morty. I-I don't respect them. They're a bunch of magical narcs, Morty. Th-They think they're top s***, the top of the food chain. D-Do you have any idea what they do to criminals? W-We just lock people in cells, they put people in cells and let weird demon ghost things torture 'em and steal their souls! S-So yeah, I don't respect 'em and I think they deserve it." And then he took a swig from his alcohol.

"Um...I'm...I'm real sorry about my grandpa, he's...kind of a...um..."

"A dick?" Carol asked flatly.

"Yeah, that's it!"

"Wait. What was that about this ministry? And why did they want Harry?" Lilac asked sounding like the concerned parent she is now.

Rick shrugged. "Who knows? Probably gonna try and m-m-manipulate him or something, I dunno. They-They'll do anything to stay on top of things, they're not good people."

"H-Hey, Rick, how come you never told me about m-magic, huh?" Morty asked.

"'What, do I gotta inform you of everything, Morty? Do I have to tell ya everything I know about? Don't go prying into my business, Morty! I have stuff I wanna keep to myself!"

"Aw...All right, Rick..."

The girls were looking at the shattered remains of the three wizards. Lilac was closing her eyes to honour the dead, Milla was looking ready to cry and Carol was just angry.

"Okay, old timer! You better have a good reason for barging in here uninvited!"

"Oh yeah. W-Well uh, I'm here to monitor things, make sure the portals are stable, so...Until we're positive everything's under control, I'll uh...I'll be your neighbour for a bit."

There was dead silence for a long moment before Carol hissed out with narrowed eyes. "I'm building a fence. A very sharp and tall fence." She hissed at them.

Rick shrugged not really caring what they do. "Whatever." He muttered and went to walk away with Morty following him.

The girls all sighed and went back inside. Milla, who had awakened, rushed over and pulled Isaac close, just wanting to hold him close and make sure he was okay. Carol and Lilac followed her example and did the same just snuggling with their children.

Then they heard another knock at the door some time later. Milla sighed softly. "I'll go and get it..." She rose to her feet and opened the door, and was surprised to see Morty was standing there with a box in his hands.

"Uh...Heheh...Hi..." He said, rubbing the back of his head. "Um...I'm really sorry about my grandpa...He's not the best um...role model...?"

"Oh no, it's not your fault." Milla said with a small smile.

"I mean, um...I asked Rick to take me back to Earth for a sec so I could get these..." He held the box out to Milla. "It's a 'Sorry for killing three people and shattering their corpses all over your floor' present."

Milla blinked and tilted her head adorably. "They have those on earth?" She asked.

Morty smiled shyly and and blushed lightly in embarrassment. "Around my family? Yes." He said softly.

"Well you can come in if you want. I'm kind of holding someone...and I don't want to let him down...ever." She said.

"All right!" Morty smiled as he entered the house. "Nice place you've got here..."

"Oh, thank you! I try my best to keep it clean!" Milla said, her tail wagging back and forth as she lead Morty into the kitchen. "Girls! We have a guest!"

Lilac and Carol blinked at the sight of Morty. "Uh...The old guy didn't come too, did he?" Carol asked, smiling slightly with a sweatdrop.

"No. No. He's next door...uh doing science stuff like usual." He said and gently sat the box down on the table. He turned to the girls again and smiled a tad sheepishly. "I...I would like to apologize again for him..."

"Our beefs not with you kid." Carol said with a shrug lightly petting Corona's head.

Lilac nodded with a small smile. "Thank you. But you did nothing wrong. An apology should come from the one who did the act not someone else." She said calmly while runing her fingers through Harry's hair as he looked up at her with wide eyes.

"Oh...Uh...Either way, um...Here ya go!" Morty placed the box on the table.

"Huh. What do we have he-OH MY GOSH!" Carol's eyes sparkled.

"Seriously?!" Lilac exclaimed, smiling widely.

"Yeah, I...I didn't know what to get, and the sushi place was closest, so um...I thought I'd try that."

It was a big box of sushi. Many types were stacked inside and it alone made the three girl's mouth water slightly.

"Girls! We're eating good tonight!" Carol shouted in glee, making Crona giggle at his caretaker's goofy attitude.

Milla gave Morty a one armed hug, making him smile. "Thank you!"'she said her tail wagging a mile a minute.

Morty smiled. "No problem! Glad you like it!"

"Maybe having you guys as neighbours won't be so bad after all!" Carol said with a wink and a thumbs up.

"Glad ya think so!"

And then there was another knock at the door.

They all looked at each other then at the door. Milla frowned softly a tad disappointed that she couldn't eat yet but decided it could wait. "Hold on!" She shouted and ran to the door, opening it to see who was on the other end.

Waiting on the other side was a gray-haired man with a lab coat and glasses, and a man with long red hair, wearing a suit.

"Um...How may I help you?" Milla asked nervously.

The grey haired man gave the puppy girl an uninterested look that slightly scared her, but the look disappeared quickly. "Sorry. We're meisters from the other world. We needed to check in on someone for killing a witch in our city." He said simply, raising his hand up the screw in his head and turning it slightly.

Milla winced as she looked at the man turning the screw. "Um...Does it...hurt to do that...?" She asked timidly.

"No. Why would it?" The man replied simply.

"Why is there a screw in your head...?"

"Milla, who's at the door?" Carol called, walking up to her with Crona resting in her fluffy arms. She saw the two men and narrowed her eyes at them. "What do you want?" She asked them harshly.

"Did you kill a witch in our city?" The grey haired man asked.

"...Who wants to know?"

"We're here under order of Lord Death."

"Lord Death? Sounds like some kind of evil army leader if you ask me."

"Oh, you'd be surprised."

"What's that supposed to mean?" She asked with narrowed eyes.

The two gave each other a look and they both sighed. The red headed one spoke up. "Let's just say. Lord Death is...well..."

"A goofball."

"Yes!" He snapped his fingers pointing at the grey haired man.

Carol crossed her arms over her chest. "Okay, and what's that got to do with me?"

The red haired man spoke. "Well, since you killed that witch, Lord Death was hoping that you might be willing to be a sort of...ambassador to get Death City used to your kind being around. He's hoping you'd be willing to give a speech of some sort."

"...This is because I KILLED someone?"

"Not just someone. A witch." The grey haired man said with a sigh pulling out a cigarette. "You killed a very dangerous witch. Something that is not easily done." He explained.

"Yeah...Doesn't make it right if you ask me..." Carol muttered.

"Didn't we go over this already, cat?" Ragnarok popped out. "Witches die all the-what's with the creepy look on that guy's face?"

"What is that creature?" Stein asked, grinning widely. "Is he fused with that kid? I'd LOVE to find out how that works..."

"Easy partner." The red haired man named Spirit said placing his hand on his shoulder. "Sorry about him. Anyway. What the blob said is right. Witches are wanted criminals that should be killed on sight." He said simply.

Carol's ears pressed against her head. "I can't get behind that logic." She said with narrowed eyes. "I already feel bad about killing her. I promised I'd never kill again LONG before that. That whole thing was a big mistake...I never wanted to do it."

"I see. Guess we can't change your morals." Stein shrugged. "Well, anyway, if you change your mind, go ahead and give a call." He gave her a phone number.

She took it with caution and nodded at him. The two waved goodbye and left. Carol sighed as she walked back in and sat back into her chair and just nuzzled her baby close just wanting to be close to him.

Crona seemed to notice her stress and started to pet her behind the ears making her practitioner melt and puff in bliss.

Ragnarok snickered at the sight and stroked her other ear. "Aww, the big ol' kitty cat like being petted?" He teased.

"Don't push your luck." Carol said with slitted eyes.

Lilac and Milla giggled at that. Issac blinked at that and looked up at Milla and started to rub her neck making Milla sigh softly and smile down at him licking his cheek. Harry sighed softly he didn't know how to pet a dragon.

Lilac just giggled and leaned her head down to his level. "Go ahead, sweetie." She encouraged, causing Harry to smile and stroke her head gently. Due to being a cold blooded creature, the warmth of his hand took effect immediately.

Morty just watched with a small smile. These three ladies were all great mothers in his eyes. And so he decided to stay silent for now to let them bask in the moment. He would try to keep them all like this for a long time.

The three mothers and their three children of other worlds. Not related by blood they are all connected by bonds, the bonds of motherhood that has grown for the need to care for others.

This is were the story begins, for the boy who lived, the demon sword mister, and the child who is condemned by god. This was their beginning into a much different world.
