Changing minds

He ran. He ran as fast as he could. He had to escape. They mustn't catch him. He ran even faster when he saw the tall ministry witch behind him. Faster. Faster. But suddenly there weren't footsteps behind him anymore. Had they disappeard? he turned around to check, but the only thing he could see was a white wolf jumping at him. They fell to the floor of the dirty streets of London. The chased one looked right into the ice blue eyes of the wolf. Green hit blue. Blue hit green. They didn't move for what felt like hours. Then the white wolf slowly stepped away from him and transformed back into the beautiful ministry witch. "I know I should hand you in, but I don't want to", she said. "Then don't he replied. "Leave the loot here and go into hiding. I can give you 10 minutes!", she told him. "Thanks..." "Ariana, Ariana Lily Black." "Sam Poker", he answered before he vanished in the dark streets.

Months later Ariana still thought of Sam Poker.

Today she was invited to a party in the centre of London to celebrate the downfall of the Dark Lord, also known as he- who- must- not- be- named or you-know- who. Normally parties weren't her thing, but today was a special day. After a few Butterbeers she suddenly saw Sam Poker at the entrace of the pub. Over all the heads of dancing people their eyes locked. Green hit blue. Blue hit green. Like all this months ago.  And then without a warning Sam rushed to Ariana and pressed his lips to hers. At first she stood there in shock, but slowly she unfrozed and kissed him back. When they pulled apart Sam asked her: "Are you OK? Did you get in trouble with the minnistry for helping me?" "No, everything is fine. They believed my story that you threw the loot away when you were followed. But how are you? Why are you back? I told you to hide! The ministry is still after you!" "Don't worry, they won't find me. They think I'm in Egypt. And I'm back, because I had to see you again", he admitted. Lost of words Ariana just stared at him. As she remained silent sam spoke again: "I... I wanted to ask you if you'd want to come with me." "I... I... yeah. Yes, I want to go with you! Nobody here will miss me anyway", Ariana agreed. "Really?", Sam demanded. "Yeah, let's go!", she confirmed and they left the party.

"Where are we going?", Ariana questioned after they had turned left and right a couple of times. "America", was his short answer. "How do we get there?" "By boat. It's right here", Sam pointed to a small wooden boat at the pier. they climbed in and with a tap of Sam's wand it began to move. Sam and Ariana stayed quiet for a while until ariana asked: "How are we going to live in America? We don't have any money with us." "I've got an uncle there. We can live with him till we get a job", he explained. They fell back to silence again and soon they fell asleep in each others arms.

In the early hours of the morning Sam woke up to a disturbing lapping of water. He opened his eyes  and saw a big leak at the bottom of the boat. His feet were already covered in water. "Ariana! Ariana wake up! We're sinking!", he cried. "Are you daft? Are you a wizard or not?! Just use reparo", she murmered sleepily. "Oh, you're right. Sorry", he appologized and then tried to repair the boat by magic. But it didn't work. "ariana, it's not working! We're still sinking!", sam exclaimed. Ahe finally stood up and looked at the leak. "It can't be repaired. This was done by Grindylow venomon. There's no known antidode", she explained horror stuck. "But there must me something we can do! We can't swim the whole way, it's to far. We'd drown!" "I know! Let me think!", she snapped at him. Taken aback Sam stayed quiet and thought about a solution himself while the boat sank further. The water was now just below their knees. And the suddenly without a warning the boat was pulled under water by hands that must belong to merepeople. "we don't have a choice now, we have to swim!", said Sam. So they started to swim until Ariana remembered: "We are so stupid! We can just summon brooms and fly all the way to America!" "Or we could just apparate. That's way easier", Sam suggested and took Ariana's hand before he spun around and apparated them to his uncle's house in Dallas.

After two months of living with Sam's uncle they got their own house and jobs. Ariana worked for the local Auror office and Sam got a job as a private teacher for the children who were too young to attend the wizard school Ilvermorny or whose parents prefered that their children stayed at home. A few years later they got married and had two kids named Mary Hope and Steve Lucas. And they lived happily ever after.

As I told you in the story discription, this was done in an English lesson and I was really enjoying writing it. I Hope you like it too and leave some votes and comments. Feedback is always good so I can improve myself.
Lot's of love
