Chapter 7
Massie sucked in a deep breath as she exited the airport in London. The cold stung her cheeks like it often did in Westchester, but it was a different kind of cold, it was a European cold. Even in August, it was cold. Massie had been to Europe before, but never with the same reason as she had right now. She smiled and handed her luggage to Isaac for him to carry through the parking lot. The plane trip, even if first class, had been dehydrating and she desperately needed some Evian water, because it the excitement she had forgotten the need to drink. She searched in her purse and pulled out a bottle, only to discover it was empty.
"Here, Massie," Claire said sweetly, handing her a chilled bottle that she had probably snuck from the plane.
"Thanks," Massie said quickly while she took a large sip from the bottle. The water quickly refreshed her and allowed the adrenaline to pump through her veins once again.
Claire looked at Massie, slightly jealous that she could seem so composed when in reality Claire could tell Massie was incredibly excited. The broadest smile could not seem to leave Claire's face, and she knew that she probably looked like an idiot. Claire looked through her purse and gently touched her wand, because it had become a habit, and Claire thought it was lucky. She relaxed and walked with Massie towards the car that Isaac rented. They scooted themselves into the cushioned seats and each took a deep breath. Isaac drove them through the crowded streets and towards the luxurious hotel they would be staying in. Luckily, they found a high class hotel that also accepted pets. Orlando nuzzled into his feathers and stared lovingly at Claire, while Chanel simply looked at himself in the mirror again. Isaac chuckled at the similarity between the pets and their owners.
Once they got to their rooms, Claire and Massie shared while Isaac had his own, they jumped on the beds giggling.
"I'm going to wash my face, I'm tired like crazy," Massie told Claire and walked into the large bathroom. Once she was in the bathroom with her Dove face wash, she took a deep breath. She picked up her wand which she had secretly brought into the room with her. She swished it around, watching it glide through the air and marveled at it. She still could not fully believe this was happening. The wand danced in front of her and glittered in the bathroom light. She sighed contentedly and washed her face thoroughly.
Suddenly a high pitched Spanish voice squeaked from the halls.
"Massie! Kuh-Laire!" Alicia screamed in front of their door, "I'm here!" Massie gasped, and quickly put away her wand. She ran into the hall and hugged her friend.
"Leesh! How was your flight?" Massie smiled.
"Wonderful, of course," Alicia said happily. Claire walked out of the room and joined them in the hall.
"Hey!" Claire chirped at Alicia.
"Hey pretty, you guys all settled in? I want to hit at least one shop before going to bed," Alicia said giddily.
"Of course you do Leesh, even though it's already 6:30pm," said a different voice that they recognized to be Kristen's.
"Kristen!" They squealed as they gathered her in a group hug.
"I'm actually hungry, we can shop tomorrow," Dylan said from behind them.
"Dylan!" They all laughed and also hugged her.
"Well, I agree with Dylan, I am hungry too and shopping can wait," Massie said, surprised at herself. All the adrenaline and excitement had taken its toll on her.
"Point," Alicia nodded.
"Then it's settled, dinner first, shopping later," Kristen said happily as they walked to downstairs. They discussed everything. They talked about how Kristen was rooming with Alicia and how unhappy Dylan was that she had to room with her mom's assistant number four. They talked about their flights and all the cute boys they met on them. They talked about the new school they would go to, which somewhat disappointed Claire and Massie. They ate and they laughed, and they walked up to their rooms. They were all going to a boarding school called Mary Elizabeth's and the girls seemed super happy. Claire and Massie fought desperately to not tell them about Hogwarts. That night they were sleeping in Claire and Massie's room. They brought their sheets and laid them around the room. They all sat on Claire's bed and gossiped more. Massie loved times like this and she had to try super hard not to cry since she knew this would be the last for a very long time. The girls began to fall asleep but Massie couldn't. Her mind was racing and twisting its way around everything. The thought of Hogwarts seemed stronger and she couldn't stop thinking about it. She didn't know what to do so she grabbed her coat and decided to go for a walk through London to clear her head. She dressed in some Abercrombie clothing, not wanting to get anything too expensive dirty. She twisted a warm knit scarf around her neck, grabbed her key and walked downstairs. She left the hotel and walked down one of the streets, marking her path on an app in her IPhone.
Massie walked slowly and calmly. Suddenly she heard a voice saying something strange. The voice was soft and hurried. She followed it down an alley and saw a tall figure with messy black hair hunched over a light.
"Hello?" Massie called out. The voice gasped and turned to face her.
"Hello," The voice said curtly.
"Who are you?" Massie asked inquisitively.
"My name is… Well I don't see how that is important to you."
"Are you the government?"
"What? Um… no?"
"Then why are you being so damn secretive?" Massie said, happy to do one of her famous comebacks. The boys chuckled at her.
"Well if you must know my name is Harry Potter."
(A/N: Cliff hanger! Again! Haha. So what do you guys think? Reviews would be very helpful(: Also, I am thinking about Possibly adding another Clique girl into Hogwarts... I know who, but i'm just wondering what you guys would think of that? I need to know for my next chapter. Also if anyone has any ideas I would love to use them. [I will definatly have Massie give a makeover to Hermione ;)] Alright, J'adore toi!)
