Harry Dresden There are a lot of things one has to address when teaching and learning about magic. Harry invites Sabrina to come to the office this evening to see where things stand with how she understands magic and how he can help her. Zatanna hasn't really told him exactly where the trouble is, what her needs are.
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Smiles softly as she walks into the place and cocks her head " Hi Harry " She smiles brightly as she walks over and puts down her books " sorry i'm late trying to figure out what college or university you wanna go too is rough stuff "
Harry Dresden Harry is sitting at the desk, for once not having a pile of paperwork to hide behind. Apparently someone is soaking up some of the work. He stands up and replies,"Good luck with that. Be glad you can go." He motions her to sit down. Of course, sitting beside the desk is the horse that looks like a dog, Mouse. He stands up and goes to investigate the new arrival. At least he doesn't bowl her over. Yet.
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Holds out her hand for mouse to sniff and smiles " hello mouse..Harry told me about you it's nice to meet you " she says brightly She really hopes he dosn't react baddly to her whole half demon kinda thing .
Harry Dresden Apparently, Harry told Mouse about her. She slurps her a time or two, leans on her when she pets him, and then wanders back to the desk to lay down. He's not defensive or anything, just settling down and looking at her...for a long time. Nothing threatening about it, just watching her.

"You're OK. If he didn't eat you already he won't." Harry says flatly. Maybe he's joking, but maybe he isn't. Once she is settled he takes a seat as well,"So tell me a bit about what you know, how you know, and what focuses your abilties."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Blinks " Focus? Like the wands and stuff from the old days? " She cocks her head " I don't need that stuff .. I mean I can use it sure .. but it's not required.. Because I'm witch born .. " She says this and sighs then blinks " Well half " She adds.
Harry Dresden He frowns thoughtfully and nods,"I can as well, but the focus makes the magic flow easier and more controlled. You should consider, at least for a while, using them to ease your use. Just a thought. I know when I focus my ablities I tend to do more damage in more places. Unfocused my abilties are stronger, but I don't blow up near as many times."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Laughs " Well I do this mostly to help " She snaps her finger and you see the power flow around her finger as it sparkles " The issue isn't my natural magic.. it's the new one I found out about.. and got unlocked against my will "
Harry Dresden There is a nod and Harry asks,"Tell me about that then." One thing about it, he is willing to teach, but he's real good at letting people teach themselves along the way,"Pretend I know nothing beyond your name."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Blinks " The demon thing? " She says softly " I don't know much myself.. I got dragged to hell by my mother.. she tricked me , I didn't know she was alive till like a year ago.. My aunties told me she died :"
Harry Dresden "Lovely." Harry mutters softly,"So your mother woke a demon inside you or one of your parents have demonic heritage. I am trying to get the full picture, not just annoy you for the fun of it."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Nods her head " Yeah sorta.. " She rubs the back of her neck " I know you need the info so you can teach me.. basiclly she tricked me into going to hell.. I went as myself not as a dead person that's why I was able to get back out.. but anways " she waves her hand " I went to hell and she handed me over to my father.. who is a prince of hell ..He is the one that woke up my demon side.. I kinda went evil for a while "
Harry Dresden His brow furrows slowly, listening to her explination,"Ain't family grand." he mutters softly, but doesn't expand on that for now,"OK. Your father is a Prince in Hell. That makes things..." he is thoughtful,"I know what it is like to..." he pauses and then shakes his head,"...and that's my Zatanna sent you here." He sighs and asks,"You like beer?"
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman sighs and nods " Sure please.. can't get drunk anymore anyways " she sighs " That's the thing not exactly sure what being half demon did to me.. I mean I got stronger and faster yeah .. But not sure what else.. I know my spells got stronger that was neat.. losing myself for a few months wasn't cool thanfully I snapped out of that " . She rubs her cheek " But now with the extra power..every once and a while my spell goes sideways "
Harry Dresden "Again, my point towards focus for your powers." he tells her, but then gets up. He returns with two home brews from across the street at the restaurant,"Never tell Mac across the road that you drank his home brews cold. He takes that personally."

Harry takes a seat at the desk again and tells her,"Anybody can fall to the tempation. I have used magic in ways that most frown upon, killing a man in self defense. He was more powerful than me, well so he thought. It ended that way." He sighs softly and tells her,"Can you open your third eye?"
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman cocks her head " Thrid eye? " She frowns " Oh wait no.. I don't have that .. that's a human magai thing.. I can sense magic and see it if I need too.. I don't need to open a third eye or soemthing like that " She says " But I will try a wand that might help.. hopefully keep my flare ups from happening "
Harry Dresden "Zatanna sent you to me because..." he taps his head gently,"...there's a demon taking up real eastate in here. She probably decided between the two of us we could fix each other's problems. That and she didn't feel real comfortable about Constantine teaching you."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Nods her head " I met him and he was kinda yeah " She sighs " I didn't feel comfortable to be honest " She says " I'm a good girl.. I picked to be a witch of the light.. not a darkness witch.. and not a fallen one like my mother.. Even when I went evil I was still kinda good " She sighs " That's what snapped me out of it .. dad tried to get me to kill somebody "
Harry Dresden "John walks with a leg on each side of the line. Hellblazer, it's not just a clever advertising scheme." Harry comments,"At the end of the day he usually comes down on the side of the ange...well mostly a decent guy."

"Magic can change you in a lot of ways, but it is difficult to change you fundamentally." he explains thoughtfully. He frowns thoughtfully,"I don't particularly like the idea of soul gaze with you. I was hoping..." he hmms,"Can you see the spirits around me, the things that have scarred my presence in the ether?"
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman cocks her head "I can sense your magic and power hold on " She closes her eye's and opens them again one is gold.. the other is clearly demonic looking as she looks you over . " I see the monster that seems to be in your shadow.. and well I can see your guest " She gives the guest a nod of hello .
Harry Dresden Listening to her descriptions he nods,"He Who Walks Behind and the fallen angel Lasciel." he fills her in,"Neither one is terribly friendly. The Walker is just a psychic scar. Lasciel, she is real enough. A shadow in her own way, but not harmless. The Walker is dead, just something that scarred my presence."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Nods her head " Well if I get control of what's going on maybe I can help with them " She sighs as she grunts " You know I never paid attention to human religion and now I'm knee deep in it " She grunts " Sucks.. I've been reading the bibble to get something and it's terrible "
Harry Dresden "I think that was Zatanna's plan. Help each other." he admits with a nod. He takes a drink and then says,"My best friend is a Knight of the Cross. Religion is everything to him. I don't know much about it either. I understand the ideas, just always assumed that God wouldn't have a place in his house for me so I just do what I can with the time I have."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Nods her head " That kinda stuff never really mattered to witch folk.. we live a long long long time.. and well we have magic and we live in else world.. I mean I live in the human realm but yeah.. The whole human relegion thing I mean I learned a little from my friends and school but that' sabout it .. now my dad is a prince of hell .. so kinda changes the whole . you know not caring bit "
Harry Dresden "I understand where you're coming from. I will live a lot longer than most around me, assuming I don't get killed in the mean time." he tells her,"I understand why people put their faith in religion. I just have trouble with it myself." He nods as he adds,"You'd think, all things considered, that I would be a litle more understanding."
%
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Nods her head " Yeah.. " She sighs " I don't think I'm really getting faithful.. I mean I belive in the witch things.. still do .. this is more like oh hey this group of people are part of your life and by the way thier part of a relgion.. because your dad a prince of hell so he was an angel that fell to hell.. so he's not like a demon born from hell.. but trying to learn stuff about it means learning the relegious stuff becaue finding info otherwise is kinda hard "
Harry Dresden Harry takes another drink and hmms softly,"I have a few ideas that we might be able to use to learn a little more. I need to contact Zee and make sure we can visit her place. We could talk to Bob, but I don't know if you want to be exposed to that." Mostly a joke, mostly.
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman cocks her head " You already did " she says softly " remember to figure out what my deal was you took me to see bob " She ays softly " he said I had a nice ass among other things " She sighs
Harry Dresden "Well, expose you to that again." Harry amends,"While I can't fault Bob's taste, he's fortunate he is locked in that skull. If he was still in this world he'd be in prison for under age fraternization or worse."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Laughs and smiles " Hey I'm legal ish " she says and frowns " I mean I am 20 you know that makes me an adult last time I checked.. but yeah not intrested in a skull "
Harry Dresden "If you were 14 he would have fallen off the shelf." Harry replies,"It's impossible to deal with him sometimes. Except Zee. She did the unthinkable and shut him up. Now if he annoys me I tell him I will give him to Zatanna and be done with him."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman giggles " makes you wonder what she did " She laughs brightly " Well I mean I could send him to hell .. He wouldn't like that nobody likes that to be honest " She smirks
Harry Dresden "She threatened him. I don't remember exactly what she said off hand, but he'll never forget." Harry tells her with a smirk. A drink of the beer and he tells her,"See. You have your ace too. He'll believe you because I will make sure to tell him it is well within your abilties."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Laughs and giggles " but it is " She smiles " It's the getting him back I need to work on " She smirks " That part you don't need to tell him " She thinks " Or maybe you should I dunno what's got more scary "
Harry Dresden "I think that would probably scare him more than anything. Put you there and not be able to get back." Harry muses softly,"Zatanna made the lights go dark, but he mouthed off a little bit. Maybe you will have the secret to make him not speak until spoken to."
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman Shrugs and smirks " I dunno teach we'll see , I mean he was a little rude but he did help me so .. so far I'll accept it .. and while it was crude.. all he did was compliment my body so" She beams a pixie smile
Harry Dresden "Holy Hell don't tell him that." Harry warns her,"That will only encourage him and there'd be no living with him." He takes another drink and he says,"All right. I want to take you out of the city somewhere so I can see what we are working with without putting people into potential harm's way. You good for a trip this weekend?"
Sabrina Spellman Sabrina Spellman thinks " Sure I can do that " She says " Yeah i think you need to see when it goes wrong and stuff so you have an idea what's going on and all that " She sighs but she beams " I'll be there.. but I gotta run , I gotta report back to my aunts about the college I checked out "
Harry Dresden "All right. I will look for you Saturday. Hope you don't mind riding in style...really old style with multiple colors." he tells her and waves as she prepares to leave,"Be careful out there." One he doesn't have to worry too much about walking around.
