Interesting ~Friends~

[rebel]

Jasmine was quietly walking along the bay. She missed her father George deeply, so she came her for some slight relaxation. It didn't help really, although the lapping of the salty waves calmed her. She kicked off her shoes and felt the cool water trickle between her toes and she couldn't help but sigh. Before to long however, she was cold. She went up to dry off, and her hand rested upon a tree trunk. As she moved it downward, she felt strange notches in the tree. Look over, Jasmine found that it was a carving: L.Y. + F.J. Together ForeverJasmine looked at it curiously, before remembering that strange thing Muggles did. Then she felt the wand markings and she was shocked. "Magic? Interesting..." she trailed off when footsteps sounded north of her. She looked up into the smiling face of...

[calcetines]

Angel. Her red hair tied back in a high ponytail. Her hair had gotten so long the ponytail trailed mid-way down her back. This made Wolfgang googly-eyed whenever he gazed upon it. He loved her long hair more than anything. Angel had spent half her morning trying to track down her cousin. "Hello, Jasmine. I'm going to Diagon Alley today, want to come with me?" Angel asked, hoping Jasmine would go with her. Angel hated commuting by herself, but she was desperate for a new book... And to see Wolfgang...

[rebel]

Jasmine laughed as she casually slipped on her shoes. "Sure, I've got nothing better to do." she replied, the essence of her laugh still hanging in the air.

[calcetines]

Angel smiled. She and Jasmine walked back to the one of the Potter's cars. It was nothing extravagant, just a teal mini-van, but at least it moved. Angel situated herself in the driver's seat, she had passed a muggle driving test a few weeks ago, and was free to commute to anywhere she pleased, whenever she felt like it. Her parent were practically pushing her out the door... So the mini-van was hers, dent in the rear passenger side door and all. "Alright, let's see if this tin can will be able to make it to the underground." Angel said, smiling.

[rebel]

Jasmine laughed and buckled her seat belt and groaned. "I forgot how much I hate Muggle cars..." she laughed, halfheartedly.

[calcetines]

"Well, at least I don't have to pay for it. Mum and dad are practically shoving me out the door these days." Angel said, frowning as she started the mini-van. Driving felt natural to her, though. Almost as natural as Quidditch. It was strange going to Diagon Alley the muggle way, but the Potters were fresh out of Floo Powder. Angel would buy some more while they were out.

[rebel]

Jasmine gripped the edge of the seat as the monstrous beast swept into Diagon Alley. Breathing a sigh of relief, she practically flew out of the van.

[calcetines]

Angel chuckled and put her keys in her pocket. She pulled out a wad of muggle money. She paid the man in the little booth for their underground train. She gently grasped Jasmine's upper arm and led her to where they would catch the train. It screeched to a stop. Angel smiled. "The train isn't too bad." Angel said as she pulled Jasmine into the compartment.

[rebel]

Jasmine sat down in her seat. "Trains I can deal with. Cars, not so much." she replied sarcastically.

[calcetines]

Angel smiled, it was obvious that she had to try very hard not to laugh. "My driving is that bad, huh?" Angel said, giving Jasmine's shoulder a playful shove. She knew how much her cousin hated driving places, Angel didn't mind it much, though she did prefer broomsticks.

[rebel]

Jasmine laughed quietly as the train pulled out of the station. As the vast stone walls rumbled past her window, she gazed longingly at them.

[calcetines]

Angel noticed where Jasmine's gaze had traveled to. The stone barriers hurtling past in blurs of gray. She patted her cousin's arm. "September isn't that far off." Angel said, using her other hand to run her fingers through her ponytail. "We'll be going back before you know it."

[rebel]

Jasmine sighed. "Its not that. I miss my father. He's been gone for Peru for almost a year and its worrying me. He keeps saying he'll be back at the end of the month, but then when he's supposed to arrive, he sends a letter again." she replied quietly, turning to face her cousin.

[calcetines]

Angel frowned, not removing her hand from Jasmine's arm. "I'm sure it's nothing." Angel said, sounding as though she were trying to convince herself, rather than Jasmine. "I'll tell you what, you can spend the night at my place tonight, I'll make your favorite dinner, and we'll watch movies." Angel offered. She was going to do anything to see Jasmine's smile.

[rebel]

That cracked a laugh out of her. "Yeah, that'll be great." Jasmine replied, her well-known wide smile flashing like a beacon out in a lighthouse somewhere.
