Change In Plans

Change in Plans-

"Dad! I'm going over to Elliot's!" I yelled up the stairs. My dad came sulking out of his room, his hair in a giant mess. I watched him slowly descend the stairs and sit at the kitchen table. I rolled my eyes, poured him a cup of coffee and kissed him on the cheek. "I''m leaving now."

He took a sip and nodded. "When will you be back?"

I thought. "Late. Draco and Astoria asked me to stay for dinner."

"Ok, just don't be out too late. Love you Bells." I smiled at him.

"Love you too dad." And with that, I apparated from my house to Malfoy mansion. The great building loomed over me as I walked up to the gate. The gate magically opened and I walked to the door. The door opened and I greeted the house elf. "Hello Chatty, is Elliot here?"

The house elf nodded. She welcomed me and disappeared. A few seconds later, Elliot bounded down the stairs. "Hello beautiful." He smiled. He gave me a quick kiss and I grinned.

"Did you get your letter?" I asked him. I received my Auror letter today. It informed us that since we were going to be Aurors, we had three years of training. And it started at the beginning of September. Elliot looked at me and shook his head.

"No, I actually didn't get my letter today.. let me check the mail." He mumbled. I followed him to a small building that resembled a shed just outside his house. The small building was not in fact a shed, but a mini owlrey. There was a bunch of letters rested under a large black owl and Elliot searched through it.

He quickly picked up a letter, grinned and began to open it. His grin soon faded and turned into a frown. "Elliot, what is it?" I asked, placing a stray hair behind my ear. He locked eyes with me and I could see that something was really upsetting him.

I grabbed the letter and read it out loud.

"Dear Mr. Malfoy,

It's with heavy heart that we must decline your Auror application. We have done a background check on every applicant that we have, and it is in our understanding that you had only four of the five N.E.W.T.s that we require in the Auror Office. If you have any further questions, please contact the Auror Offices. Signed, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic. "

Elliot groaned and started walking back to the Mansion. "I don't know what I'm going to do." He whispered. As we made our way into the livening room, he sat on the black leather couch, and I sat next to him, still not saying a word. "I don't understand, I talked to McGonagall and she said I had the requirements!"

I grabbed his hand and rested my head on my shoulder. "Maybe she misread them." I told him. "It doesn't matter though, if you can't be an Auror than I won't be either." I said sternly. He gave me an unsettling look.

"Don't be crazy Arabella! You have to be an Auror, you got accepted, and you're a very talented witch!" He exclaimed. I shook my head.

"Elliot, I can't. We are partners in crime! I can't leave you behind. You are my bestfriend, my boyfriend, the love of my life and the fact that if I did accept the training, I am not leaving you for three years." I exclaimed. He gave me a puzzled look.

"It's not like we'll be far-" He started. But I cut him off.

"The training is in America." I stated. "I am not leaving you to go overseas for three years."

And then we sat in silence. "What are we going to do then?" He asked.

"We could go to the Ministry right now, and maybe see what other jobs are available?" I suggested. He grinned.
