Chapter 16

“What a surprise,” Tiegen mumbled to herself. She watched from her desk as Thea walked through the door of her office and settled down in the seat in front of her. “I knew a day like this was going to come eventually.”

Thea raised a brow. “What are you talking about?”

“Your studies, Thea. The development of your magical abilities.” her Aunt replied, motioning to the office around them. “Why else would you visit me during the day?”

“That’s not the main reason I wanted to see you,” Thea said, which earned her a small frown. “I wanted to talk to you about my parents.”

Folding her hands over her lap, it was clear that her Aunt wasn’t anticipating that response. However, she didn’t say anything against it. With a slight nod, Tiegen beckoned her to continue.

“Do you know about anything that happened around the time my mother came back from Chicago? Something that would have caused her to return to Ardensville early?”

Tiegen straightened in her seat, jaw clenched. She stared at Thea with a perplexed expression as she tried to make sense of what she said. Eventually, she let out a deep exhale through her nostrils.

“Why do you ask?”

Thea shrugged. “Curiosity.”

“I...” Tiegen wet her lips, tapping the armrest of her seat. “I wasn’t very close with your mother until after she married Alistair. Based on what he told me at the time, I could tell that something was going on. I didn’t know the details then and I still don’t know them now.”

“Are you sure you don’t know anything?” Thea pressed, sitting on the edge of her seat. “I talked to Professor Potter recently at the university and he told me a bit about my mother.”

Letting out an amused hum, Tiegen smiled. “So they were acquaintances, huh? That makes sense.” She rose out of her seat, dusting off her clothing. “He is a creative, if limited, warlock. He serves as an asset to this town, even if his magical abilities aren’t the best.”

Even though Thea wanted to talk more about what the professor told her, the determined look on her Aunt’s face made it clear that she wouldn’t get the chance. Tiegen had other plans for her.

“You, on the other hand, aren’t going to end up with mediocre magic skills. I would never allow that to happen,” her Aunt said, motioning for her to stand. “I want us to work on the binding spell again. You’ll start getting used to it in no time, I promise.”

“Whatever you say...” Thea murmured as she positioned herself a few feet away from her Aunt.

Following her instructions, Thea managed to bind her Aunt’s feet and rendered her unable to move. With Tiegen’s coaxing, she gradually moved upwards. Her calves, her knees, and her thighs. Her Aunt let out an amused laugh as she realized that she couldn’t walk anymore.

“Look at you.” Tiegen exclaimed, resting her hands on her hips. “Look at how far you’ve come. I can’t move anymore.”

“I’ve never seen anyone happy with the fact that they couldn’t walk, Aunt Tiegen.
