*Ellie was fussing now, upset by all of the commotion, and Micaela attempted to hum a lullaby to her. Her voice was shaking as she did so, holding her daughter to her chest and burying her nose in the baby's sparse hair, trying to fill it with the smell of baby soap and infant instead of the house burning. She looked around desperately for Maxim, knowing he'd got out of the house, but not knowing if he'd gone back in or gone somewhere else...*
*Liam had fallen asleep on her lap, his head against her chest, the part unoccupied by his sister.*

"Thank God," Richard sighed, holding Pina close to him. "I'm afraid I have to give the credit for saving your life to your father..."

"My father? Where is he? What happened?"

"By all appearances he rescued you, which I admit is more than I could do," Richard sighed in grudging admiration. "I have to say that whatever his faults may be, he was willing to risk his own life in the process of saving you. He was... quite badly burned."

*A very worried expression crossed her face, and she got the feeling that he wasn't telling her everything.*
"How bad? Where is he?"

He smiled at her grimly without saying a word.*

*Micaela leaned against whatever part of him was convenient and didn't quite know what to do. There was nothing she could do, now, except make sure everyone was safe, and wait for the firefighters to douse the flames. It only appeared to have touched the west wing...*
"Is everyone out?" *She asked weakly.*

"I think so. No one was staying in the West wing, thank God."

*She exhaled, kissing the top of Ellie's head.*
"Yeah, really."

"I'm not sure how fast it will spread... We may lose the house," *he said, not sounding particularly upset by this prospect.*

Jess looked over to see Micaela and Maxim and rushed toward them, she didn't say anything she just cried "Has anyone seen Snape?"

"I can hear that tone, you know."

She tried to keep her sobs low "H-h-he was, he was v-v-v-v-v-visiting us, in our room and t-t-t-then, then he had to go and-" Jess clinked her teeth together "oh he's a wizard, h-h-he'll be fine, r-right?"

*Micaela extended a hand for Jess to hold should she want it.*

Jess took Micaela's hand gingerly realizing that her problems were unimportant, the de Winters "I w-wish w-we could have done more."
