Everything is stirred when his girlfriend is taken captive as well.
The wind was blowing with such ferocity that Lorelei jumped out of the bed to glance out the window. All she saw was the leaves rustling up and down the street. The branches whistled wildly as the winds blew even harder than before.
She wished that Michael would return soon. She had met Michael in London only two months ago and fallen head over heels for him. He seemed to have been
from a different time, in manners and spirit. How he caressed her, kissed and professed his love for her This is how a woman should be treated. She had thought that every time she was with him. She walked back to their bed and grabbed the picture on the night stand. It was a picture she had taken when she moved in with him. She had refused to let him enchant the picture to move like the rest of the pictures
in their new flat. She used her 16mm Kodak camera and took a picture of her standing in front
of him by the door. Her long black hair in a messy bun contrasted well with his brown elegant hair. She lingered on his handsome features. His soulful eyes burned a great shade of jade
green full of depth and knowledge. His long perfect nose was digging on the side of her head.
Almost as if he was taking in her scent. A slight grin was playing softly on his lips. He was wearing black robes in this particle picture. She looked at herself. Her piercing baby blue eyes caught her attention first, followed by her straight petite nose and full pouty lips. Her gaze shot up to her hair. She wished she could have done her hair but she very much wanted the first picture of them in their new flat to be real, without any plan without any reenactment.
She placed the picture back at its right place, looked at the clock beside it 1:23 AM. Where was his? Surely even practicing for his upcoming duel wouldn't keep him this long? She leaned on her pillow unable to sleep. Her mind was racing at rapid speed. Thoughts entwined
with other thoughts none of the fully complete. The one that played its self-more than any other was this. She had left London to live with a wizard. She was only eighteen and didn't have
a job. She was new in the Wizarding world and didn't know a soul except for Michael. Her parents didn't approve of him or her decision to move out and not go to college. From the very
start they deemed their relationship to be doomed and nothing good could come from it. "If you leave this house with him don't bother to come back…not even for your clothes" Her mother
had spat. Her face contorted with such rage that Lorelei couldn't believe it was really her. She told Michael all this, he was silent for a while then said in a pained voice "It was not my intention for you and parents to have a fall out. Speaking from experience I know what it is like to follow your heart but at a loss of breaking someone's heart in the process. If you want to go home and beg for their forgiveness and in turn lose me, I won't hold it against you but I promise you this: If you come with me, I assure you I will do all in my power to protect you and be all you need and love you with every fiber of my being. I will walk with you towards the end of this world". After hearing all that she burst into tears and after gaining control of herself she added sweetly "After hearing you say all that, do you think I would leave you for them or anyone else for that matter? You have showed me kindness and love that no one including my parents can give me. Everything you promise me, I promise you back a thousand fold. It is you and me to the very end" And with that she kissed him passionately on the lips as if sealing the deal.
Michael looked for small cottages in the hill side but Lorelei asked if he could get something
near Diagon Alley. She felt at home near there, whether it was because this was the area they
came to after he told her he was a wizard or the busy little town seemed less lonely than the hillside she really wanted to get a flat nearby. He granted this little favor and they spent their
time trying to look for décor that suited then both. It had been three days that they moved in. She spent some time trying to look for work but that seemed near to impossible. She had no magic training at all and no one required assistant from someone who couldn't will a wand. "
Why should I hire you? I have a wand and you don't" That was usually the response she got everywhere she tried. It was helpless; she foolishly thought of going to London to get a job and
travel back and forth but then remembered they have different currencies. She didn't want to be a burden to Michael even though he had a very large inheritance she didn't want him to see her someone he would support. She had to admit it to herself, never out loud, that if anything could happen between them she would be doomed, penniless and in a very different world.
She shook her head violently as though those thoughts that have been going through her mind would sprout out from her ears and leave her in peace. Thud. Thud… She sat upright, were those footsteps? Yes. Of course it was Michael. No it's more than one person. He probably brought someone. At this hour in the night? It was silent. She got the urge to get off the bed and look through the key hole but her legs didn't feel up to task so she just sat there in a trance
looking at the door for what seemed like forever. The softly she saw the door knob turn. Three people stood at the threshold, a woman in the center with wild hair, a man with sallow skin but she couldn't see the other persons' features behind them just his silhouette.
