Face Your Fears (Angel/Gabriella)

[calcetines]

"You would probably be skeptical of yourself," said Angel. "That might not work." She ran a hand through her hair, now suddenly wishing that it were shorter than what it was. After all, she only kept it long to keep Wolfgang happy, she did like short hair... But that was beside the point. "Should you just grab Emily and disapparate with her?" suggested Angel.

Gabriella shook her head; that wouldn't work either. "No, I'd get really confused and mad. Then I'd go after myself," she replied. It was really weird to talk as though there were two of her. Gabriella supposed Angel was a bit more used to it than she was. "Wait, what if you look like yourself again and tell us to go somewhere with you?" she suggested.

"But would you be persuaded to do so?" Angel asked, now biting her lip. She still liked the idea of "kidnapping" Emily, perhaps Gabriella could grab her before the hour-earlier version of herself turned up. Sometimes time-turners could be dreadfully confusing. "I suppose it's worth a shot," Angel said with a bit of a frown, she was skeptical of the idea. Hopefully it would work...

"By you?" Gabriella asked, raising her eyebrows. "Of course I would." Gabriella could hardly believe Angel had even asked that. She would do anything for her cousin, and trusted her completely. So it made sense that Emily and the other Gabriella would follow Angel somewhere.

But there was still one potentially fatal flaw in the plan. She was working the Three Broomsticks currently, she did not want the earlier version of herself to spot her through a window or something. "But what about myself in the Three Broomsticks?" Angel asked, concerned about this. "I could easily spot myself from the counter," This was a whole sticky mess.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella gently bit her lip; that was quite the dilemma. She supposed she could distract Angel, but that could go wrong as well. "Should I try to distract you, or should we go with Plan B?" she asked, running a hand through her hair.

Angel put a hand on her forehead, thinking hard. She felt ill, she would probably vomit soon. And yet she had been so excited since she had gone nearly the entire work day without having to throw up once. That was no longer an option. Angel turned away and threw up into a rubbish bin. She hated being pregnant. She wiped her mouth and turned back to face Gabriella. She was about to speak when she saw the shadow of someone approaching, thinking that it could be Emily, Angel turned her appearance back to normal.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella patted her cousin on the back a bit, but then realized that someone was coming. She noticed that Angel had changed herself to look normal. Gabriella figured if they knew the person, it would be weird to have Angel standing with someone looking like this. Gabriella changed her appearance back as well and then held her breath as the shadow approached. Wait, that scent was familiar, wasn't it?

Emily was going back to that place, she had to. She was straight-backed and proud on the outside, but inside she still felt like the frightened little girl that had gotten raped by the Hogwarts Express station shortly before Christmas. She was scared, but at the same time, she knew what she had to do if she were ever going to get over what had happened to her. Emily sighed then looked down the alley between the Three Broomsticks and Honeyduke's, she then saw her older sister and cousin. "Hi," Emily said to them with a nod, and was about to continue on her way.
