A/N: I've wanted to write this for the longest time. I just wasn't sure
how to start it. Elizabeth, thanks for the motivation to get writing!
Enjoy!
Baggage Duty**********
Jade strained to drag the trunk up the ramp. "Just- push- a- little- more", she said, her words punctuated by short breaths. With one last heave, jade managed to pull the trunk onto the deck. Collapsing from exhaustion, she sat on the trunk and asked her companion, "Remind me again why we're doing this?"
Emilia, who was resting next to Jade, responded, "Because it's why Dumbledore's letting us come. We'd said we'd help out on the boat. Unfortunately, that meant luggage too."
Looking down at the half a dozen trunks still left on the dock, Jade whispered to Emilia, "Couldn't we just put a little lightening charm on them? Please!"
"No! Not with all these Muggles around," Emilia whispered harshly. Then she grinned. "Jade, did you just suggest breaking the rules? You know that's my job. You've been hanging around me too long."
"I've been hanging around you and Zach too long." Suddenly she groaned. "Speaking of the devil..."
Emilia watched as a boy bounded up the boarding ramp. He was smiling madly, and grinned even more when he caught sight of the two girls. "Hello! I didn't know you two were coming."
Jade glared at him. "Of course you wouldn't, as you've only asked us every ten seconds for the past three weeks if we were coming or not."
He only answered this with another grin and continued onto the ship before either girl could ask him to help.
Emilia sighed. "That boy is crazy, I'm telling you."
Jade looked up at the sun, then down at her watch. "We better get finished. We're leaving in an hour and Dumbledore wanted us to come meet the captain before we left."
At that the two girls made their way down the ramp to the awaiting luggage, while unsuspecting people went on with their lives along the docks of St. Katherine.
A/N: It's not much yet, I know. But there's more to come. Can't wait to write about the @%&$%@&^% then the @@%&&@&@^*^&. Hehe. Enjoying your summers, I hope. Note to friends: Contact me! I am bored out of my mind!
