Welcome to the Henrick Family's House

User Image
Location: London


The House
The brick house itself is quite new. The lawn is neatly trimmed and decorated with just the right amount of flowers and bushes. The atmosphere is welcoming and hospitable. A cute little doormat that says "Welcome!" sits peacefully in front of the door.

The Backyard
The yard space isn't as big as the Henricks wished, but suitable for the size of the family. It's a piece of land covered in grass, with an entourage of flower beds. Sitting in a corner is a tiny little shed that houses the different gardening tools and construction tools.

The First Floor
When you enter the house, to the left are the stairs that lead up to the second floor. To the right is a study encased in books. The room is decorated to be similar to a Victorian era room. That's Chase's favorite place to be, besides his room.

Straight ahead is the living room with enough couches to sit seven people and a TV big enough to satisfy the children. To the left of the living room is the kitchen. All of the walls are painted pure white. The open concept plan makes the space seem bigger than it is and gives a feel of breeziness and relaxation. The wooden cabinets and the granite counter tops makes a great addition to the stainless steel appliances. In the kitchen is a double glass door leading to the yard.

To the right of the living room is a hallway that leads to a half bathroom and the guest room.

The Second Floor
At the second floor, five different rooms exist: A bathroom, three regular-sized rooms, and a master bedroom. Each children decorated their rooms the way they liked. Chase's room is filled with books and research notes. Sun's room is filled with action figures and trading game cards. Autumn's room is decorated with princesses and tiaras, with pink and purple walls. Under her bed is a collection of books she took from her big brother Chase.

The Attic
The attic is filled with items deemed to be useless by the family. Occasionally, one Henrick will go up to the attic and dig up a bauble.

The Basement
The finished basement is separated into two parts. The first part contains a running machine, two more couches, and a TV sitting snugly on a stand in a corner. It could be considered to be another living room.

The second part is separated from the first part by a double door, which is always kept open. There, that's where the musical instruments are located, as well as the washer and dryer. An unfinished jigsaw puzzle sits lonely on the floor in a forgotten corner.

Miles Henrick knew something bad would happen. Something so bad that it hurt his chest when even thinks about it. Was it his fault? Was it his son's own fault? Perhaps both were to blame. But why did it happen to Chase?

Shortly after he was given stacks of paperwork to do, he received the news from Headmistress Swan about Chase's accident and how he would spend an unknown amount of time in the hospital wing. The fact that Chase's father didn't know about his condition only gave him days of restless nights. And finally, it was time for Chase to come home.

His lips thinned as he clenched his sweaty fists. He was nervous and worried, imagining if his boy was in a full-body cast or not. Miles started to pace up and down in front of his house, wondering when Chase would show up. He hadn't eaten for almost a day. Who knew? Nervousness was quite a filling dinner, breakfast, and lunch.

"Honey," Sicilia called to Miles, coming out of the house to wait for Chase with him. "I get why you're worried, but please eat something." She handed him an apple to munch on. "I already have a son who was hospitalized and I don't want to see my husband in that building either. I will shred your finished paperwork to pieces if you don't eat this fruit."

She may seem calm on the outside, but she was screaming on the inside. She wanted to know what happened to her boy. Sicilia felt guilty that she wasn't there for Chase when he got hurt. But what could she do? She had no magic, so no way to visit his school. If Miles wasn't so busy with work, she would've forced him to visit Chase. At least then, she'd sigh in relief.

Miles looked uncomfortable at Sicilia. He couldn't tell her that he was blaming himself for Chase's rash actions, for some reason. But knowing how Sicilia never joked around when it came down to health, he took the apple from her hand and took a bite. The apple was bitter to the point where he wanted to spit it out and barf. But Miles knew that if he did that, Sicilia won't be happy, so he swallowed hard. He let out a sigh.

"Usually, it's the mother who's worried sick and the father will try to calm the mother down," he said, remembering how his coworker's daughter entered Hogwarts and had a screaming wife who couldn't stop worrying about her child. He rubbed his forehead when he felt a tiny headache coming in. If Chase doesn't show up soon, Miles felt like he would die.

Chase sighed. He was inches away form his house and within a couple steps, he could be seen by anyone from that house. Provided that they're looking through the window or door at the front. He was unsure how his family would react. Maybe grounded for a couple years? No books for the summer would be the worse punished for Chase. He sighed again.

Just when Miles' stomach started to hurt, Chase came into view. His son looked way better than he previously imagined, thanks to magic, he figured. He quickly handed the apple back to Sicilia and quickly ran to meet Chase, jumping over a couple obstacles as he flew through the air.

Miles was desperate to make sure his son was absolutely okay and no internal bleeding still remained. He knew that the healers at Hogwarts were skilled in their profession, he was still a father who never really paid attention to his children. And for that, he blamed himself.

Chase was deep in thought, playing out every single possible punishment he could receive when suddenly, something smashed into him. In between his desperate gasps for air and struggle to loosen the tight arms wrapping around him, he caught glimpses of the man's eyes, filled with worry and relief.

Chase was surprised that his father could act this way, since he was usually away at work or sleeping. He loosened and let the man hug him all he wants, even though it hurt his bruises on his back. Chase wouldn't be surprised if new bruises showed up on his body the next day.

Sicilia was taken aback when the apple was thrown at the face. She caught it just in time to avoid a black eye. Before she could process what just happened, she saw her husband almost suffocating Chase in a tight hug. She couldn't help but chuckle at the sight.

"Dear, don't suffocate the boy!" she yelled at Miles. And finally, Miles could rest.

Miles heard Sicilia loud and clear. In a snap, he remembered the fact that Chase's wounds haven't healed yet and released him. "I, uh... Sorry," was all he could say. He rubbed the back of his head, not knowing what he should do next.

"Let's go inside to talk," he said to Chase, ruffling his son's hair as he smiled and walked inside the house. He's safe, Miles sighed in relief.

Chase didn't quite like it when others mess with his hair, but he didn't complain. He followed his father into their house, though wondered why Sun and Autumn didn't jump into him like his father did. At least his younger siblings didn't pose the threat of accidentally squashing him.

He observed his parents' movements and concluded that they weren't angry. For now. Who knew how fast their moods can change? Maybe they would make sure he was healed and healthy, then burst into vengeful vents. Chase thought he could act sick and be saved for a couple more days. But since he stunk at lying, all he could do was brace himself for the disaster that's about to happen.

Good thing Sun and Autumn won't be home for another hour due to summer camp. Or else, Chase will suffocate. But now the problem was how to tell Chase that he shouldn't be rash and reckless, but also to take chances like he did. Sicilia thought the best way to approach the problem would be to use reassurance rather than punishment. Besides, he was already punished enough.

When the three sat comfortable in the study, she started to feel a little bit claustrophobic. Three people were rarely in this room all at once, so it made the room look smaller than it appears. "Chase," she began. "You know that no matter what, we love you. So please, if there's anything that's bothering you, tell us."

"We were very worried," he said, suddenly feeling very weary. "We sat here for days not knowing how you were doing." He couldn't find the right words to keep going. Miles never had the experience to chastise his children, and he didn't have the heart to. But he knew with one look, Chase could understand him. Maybe.

"I'm sorry," was all Chase could say. He was blinded by self-loathing and hatred back then, so he didn't think through what his parents would think. Would this count as selfish? Yes, definitely.

"I will think twice, maybe even three times, before doing anything out of the ordinary in the future," he promised his parents. It was the same promise he made to himself when he got out of the hospital. Hopefully, he would never have to enter that place ever again.
