Sarah Beth~
I hung the phone up and put it down beside me. Triangle-Face, sensing my unhappy mood, rubbed up against my arm in an attempt to make it better. Of course, it didn't help. He didn't understand the horrible thing that was happening; The Ministery for Magic made a whole Department just to go against me: The Department of Interworld Residency.
They had made a whole Department. A WHOLE DEPARTMENT. I just couldn't believe it. That was not a good sign. I wasn't sure what I was going to do or how I could even fix it. Obviously, they didn't want me here to begin with, and they were slowly making it so they could have their way. the queston was, if they didn't want me here so bad, then why did they let me come to begin with? Because now I've made freinds and have met the love of my life, who I couldn't leave. I couldn't put them behind me now.
I was deep in thought when a sudden flaming in the fireplace brought me out of my thoughts.
"Sarah Beth?" Came a voice I couldn't have mistaken. I looked in the fireplace to, sure enough, see the face of Auntie.
"Hi, Auntie. Is everything okay?"
"Well..." She thought for a moment. "I got a letter from the Ministry today... It says that you're in some kind of trouble with the Muggles. I think the question is, are you okay?"
"I..." I hesitated. What should I say? "No, Auntie, I'm not. Some guy got sick and sued the shop, and we might lose it, along with everything else."
"Hm." She breathed, making the high pitched noise she always made to show she had been right. "I told you that those Muggles would lead to nothing but trouble."
"Auntie." I warned. "You promised you wouldn't do this."
"I know, pumpkin, but I'm fearful of what is going to happen. I don't want you to get hurt."
"What ever happens, I'll get through it. I just hope it's all settled befor the wedding."
"Me too. But you know you could always come back her and stay with me, if you need to."
"You know I can't leave Ashley, Auntie."
"Well... I suppose you could always bring the Muggle..." She offered. My jaw dropped; Did she just invite not just I, but Ashley to stay with her if anything happened? That was the last thing I ever expected.
"Really?"
"Of course. I promised your mother that I would always take care of you. I can't go back on that now."
"Thank you, Auntie. I really appreciate it." I smiled. She smiled back. As we grinned at each other, the green flames became greener. Another face started to overlap with Auntie's. The two pictures tried to appear, pushing the other one away. They went back and fourth.
"Sarah Beth!" The other one called out. It was very faint. I looked closer.
"Who is that?" I questioned, trying ot figure it out. Auntie re-appeared.
"What is going on over there, Pumpkin? Is there a draft messing with the flame?"
"No, there's someone else trying to get through-" Before I could continue. The other face came back.
"Sarah Beth? Are you there? It's Rufus!"
"Rufus? Get out! I'm trying to talk to Auntie!"
"This is important! I-"
"Sarah Beth?" Auntie came back. She flickered off a couple more times, befor coming back completely. She looked around, confused. "What was that?"
"Sorry, " I apologized. "Rufus was trying to talk. I'll Floo him later."
