Too Much Bad Luck
Her feet sunk into the sand even though she stepped lightly. She had earlier taken off her boots on the way towards her temporary quarters, becoming wary during her trek. Serenity was only slightly annoyed, though, with the pebbles digging into her feet, but was really angry about the fact that she failed to retrieve Albus' parcel. Angry that she was given the wrong information on its location by some fucking pillock. Angry, that by the time she figured it out, she had to get up and dressed again (she had Apparated to her rooms earlier0, then find out where exactly that stupid amulet/ jar/ parcel thingy (Albus didn't go into detail about the package he wanted. Just said that she would know what it was. I just realized something: I'm an arse). It was now, by Egypt time, 3:23am, and she was walking towards…nowhere. No idea where to go. Hell, she should've stayed at the temple. I mean, she had no idea if the Death Eaters even found the damn thing. She didn't even know if the prats went to the temple she was at.
She stopped and shook her head. She had no idea where she was. She had been lost during all that Apparation. GREAT.
She dropped to the ground, landing Indian style with her chin cradled in her hands. Tapping her fingers against her cheeks, she thought. And thought. And thought, and thought. She thought until she came to a decision:
"FUCKING HELL! THIS IS FUCKED UP!"
She threw her head back, growling in anger. She planted her hands behind her, face still thrown towards the sky. She growled again, finally just screaming a yell of frustration. Finishing the scream, she jumped up, and began to kick at the sand until she fell back on the ground in exhaustion. Panting heavily, she quieted when she thought she heard a familiar cry. Standing up again, she circled around, searching for the source of the cry. Turning swiftly, she focused on the growing black dot. She smiled when she realized what (or rather who) the dot was. Fawkes. Her smile fell when the damned bird circled once (unknowingly to her, he had dropped a package), and left.
"HEY!"
She took five steps towards the fading bird, waving her arms about.
"Hey!"
Fawkes was gone. This really was screwed. Turning back towards her "spot", she trudged on. Head bowed, her body shook in anger. She began to think very evil things to do to the stupid chicken and the phoenix too. She sighed, then…well…tripped. Yes, ladies and gentlemen and others, Serenity tripped. She tripped over the package the phoenix dropped no doubt.
Laying face first in the sand, she slowly gathered up on her knees, spitting out the sand that had collected in her mouth. Coughing a bit, she took off the later that was wrapped on the box. Ripping the seal open, she swiftly read the letter.
Hello Serenity!
As you can tell I'm not worrying about not writing names and such, and neither should you, my dear. Anyway, you'll probably wonder why Fawkes flew away, and the answer is: in London, it's time for dinner. As such I am having him pick me up some banana bread and lemon drops. (Him and his damn lemon drops, she thought.) But enough about me. How is Egypt? Sunny? I hope you're having fun. But you're probably not, since you're lost. Actually your lost ness was the point of this letter. In the box is a Portkey. Now this key is set for 3:43am, which means that you have little more than three minutes. This key is set for your hotel room. Once, you reach your room, you will receive another Portkey set for 4:10am. That should give you plenty of time to get ready. Now I must be going. Severus and Minerva are at each other throats.
Albus
Finishing the letter, she hurriedly opened the box, firmly grabbing the…Barney? doll. Weird was her only thought as she felt the familiar tug at her navel.
Long time no see. I'm back! Anyway I don't own the characters except for the twins. Sorry it took so long to update though. Thanks for the reviews, and encouragement. Any way this story is going to be transferred to my new account "Faerie-Whisper". That means the next chapter of this story is going under it. So see ya.
