We were sitting around the table eating in silence.
Mom, Dad and me.
A normal Tuesday evening.
Silence.
"So… " I tried.
"Hermione's dad has maybe found a flat for us." I said.
"That's lovely, dear." Mom said without really looking away from her plate.
"Right. Well, we are going to look at it together when she gets home from… Norway."
Mom just nodded.
"Getting home from working on that case. That case she is working on." I said.
"She is only doing research in Norway, sweetie." Dad said.
"Right, Research." I said.
"I think it is lovely that Norway already have rules for elf work. We do need more regulation here too." Dad said. I just looked at him. Of course! It makes sense now. That is of course the case she is working on. Society for the promotion of Elfish welfare.
"Yeah, I am really proud of her too" I just said. No need to ask questions now.
We didn't talk much for the rest of the meal and soon I was on my way to bed getting some much-needed sleep.
Today is the day!
Today is important
You need to stop sleeping
You shouldn't be Dormant
You need to stir up, to rouse, awake.
Get up, you tired girl there is practice ahead.
I got hold of my wand and with one swing made the bloody thing stop before it had time to yelled at me with my own mother's voice.
Why did I get a singing alarm clock? I didn't need some stupid magical thing to tell me that today was important. It was the last practice before the first game of the season. Of course it was important.
I was out of bed and on my way to practice without really thinking. It was routine. Soon I was standing on the pitch and soon I was flying drills in the air. Before I knew it, I was in the locker room again with the team. Jones was talking final tactics and giving us a quick pep talk.
And I was now sitting in my room again, back home, alone.
I hadn't talked to Sophie in days, and I hadn't told anyone about Sophie. A small part of me, almost felt like it had never happened. But of course I knew that I was going to see her this Friday. But I was still unsure of how to feel about it all. I mean I really, REALLY like her. She is like… amazing, and amazingly hot.
But for now I needed to focus on this game. One thing at a time. First. Sleep.
