Driving Lessons
"I can't do this! Oh my, is that… did I just hit a dog?" Millicent slammed on the brakes of her brand new Honda, causing the car, as well as its two occupants, to lurch forward. She rubbed her neck where the seatbelt had caught her.
Gabrielle laughed beside her. Millicent scowled.
"It was just a bump in ze road," Gabrielle chortled. "Come on, you can keep going."
Swallowing a large lump in her throat, Millicent removed her foot from the brake and before she'd even managed to move it to the accelerator, the car was off again.
"Oh, Merlin, no!" She closed her eyes, turning the steering wheel a hard left. The sound of brakes screeching and a horn beeping was heard throughout the street.
Stopping herself from laughing, Gabrielle put the car into park and moved the handbrake. The driver who'd almost slammed into them was now getting out of his car, waving his fists. "I guess you 'ave not spent as much time wiz Muggles as I 'ave," she said. She patted a horrified Millicent on the knee.
"I'll stick to Floos and broomsticks," Millicent said, taking off her seatbelt.
Gabrielle smiled as the both got out of the car. As the French girl used her Veela charm to convince the driver the car had had a mind of its own, Millicent looked up and down the street, feeling her face heat up. Residents were ow venturing from their houses to see what the commotion was.
"Come, my love," Gabrielle said, getting into the driver's side of the Honda. As she turned on the ignition, she leaned forward to place a kiss on Millicent's lips. "You did well on your first time. But maybe we will do your next lesson on a dirt road." She kissed her again. "Oh, I can't wait to tell everybody about this!"
Before Millicent could argue that she didn't want anyone knowing, Gabrielle was driving down the street, looking for a place to turn around.
So I was stuck for an idea so used the RandomLists website for a prompt, and that prompt was Honda, so that's where this came from. I feel after her sister marrying into the Weasleys, Gabrielle would probably have a fair idea on how to drive. Maybe. I hope you liked it!
