Ch. 7 - Meet Me At the Movies
We flew for hours! By the time we got to my house it was 11:00 am! When we reached the front door I knocked and walked on in, "Aunt 'Lia! It's Lynz!"
"Lynz, why are you here? I thought you were at school until next summer. Who's this? - Oh, my God! Remmie!" she said 'Remmie!' in a really high- pitched voice. "Is it really you? I haven't seen you in like 12 years!" she said and jumped into his arms giving him a big hug.
"'Lia? Is that you? You're all grown up! Yes it's me!" he said hugging her back.
"Remmie, I'm sorry about not letting you know about Lynz, but I guess you've both found out by now? 'Cause if you haven't I'm tellin' you anyway!"
"Yes, Aunt 'Lia. We both know. Now the question is: Why didn't you tell ME what really happened? You should have at least told me last year! If not sooner! Why?" I asked. 'Why hadn't she told me?'
"Oh, Lynz, I would have told you years ago but, Tayla wouldn't let me mention anything about it! I'm glad you found out, though because I would not have liked to break a promise. Even if she is. is. Oh, I've gotta say it sometime. Dead, even though she's dead! Whew! Feels good to finally accept it! Would you like some tea or soda? I know Lynz wants some Mountain Dew (or whatever they have in England like it!) but I haven't seen you in a while Remus and I don't remember what you like."
"Tea, please. We wanted to get some of Lynz's things to take to school with her while you make tea, etc. Ok?"
"All right then I better get started because with the both of you packing it'll take no time at all!" Aunt Lia' said.
"Ok, let's go," I said.
"Lynz, where is your room?" Dad asked.
"Right down the hall, last door on the left. I'm going to grab some DVD's to pack and I'll meet you there in a sec," I said. "But, beware of the disaster area that's called my room."
"Ok, I'll go with caution. Oh, and Lynz, you can use magic for the rest of the summer since your at Hogwarts."
"Ok, cool! What's the charm that makes things smaller? And the one to make things bigger?" I asked. That's definitely not 2nd year charms. I think it's 4th year or something.
"Oh, reducto is the one that makes things smaller and engorgio makes things bigger. To make things normal say either the opposite of what it's already on or you can say normalio. Either one will do. I just hope you can do it."
"Thanks, Dad. I would never have thought to ask how to make it normal."
I walked into the lounge across the hall and started to browse my DVD collection. I saw Bring It On, Legally Blonde, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, Drumline and a few other movies and grabbed them and carried them to my room.
(A/N: I know! I know! There weren't DVD players and these movies weren't even in theatres in '93 but I don't remember anything about that time because I was only 3 at the time!!! I also forgot when I was writing Ch. 2 and just noticed it when I had to think of movies!!! Sorry!)
When I got there Dad was just looking around. "Reducto," I said pointing my wand at the DVD's. Dad looked over at me and then at the DVD's.
"Wow. Good job. I don't think James or Sirius could do that in their 2nd year. I don't even think Lily could and she was best at Charms. That is quite an accomplishment," he said pointing to the DVD's in my hand. I looked down at them and they were smaller!
"Oh, my God! Io actually did it!" I was amazed. I actually did it!
"Lynz, why don't you pack then we can go have our drinks. Ok?"
"Alright," I walked over to my dresser and went to the bottom drawer and started taking out blue and black jeans and skirts. "Reducto," and they all shrank. I was still amazed at how I could do it without really trying. "Now where is my bag?" I pondered out loud.
"Here, I'll conjure one up for you," and he muttered something under his breath and Poof! There was a big bag in front of my bed.
"Cool," I said putting the clothes in the bag and then walking over to my closet to grab some shirts. "Reducto, again!" and put the rest in my bag. I walked over to my bookshelf and pointed at all the books with my wand and "Reducto," and put them into the back in small stacks. I decided it would be an idea to bring some more notebooks and my laptop.
(A/N: She's pretty spoiled if you ask me! I wanna laptop!!!!)
I didn't reduce those but just stacked them on top of the books and walked into my bathroom and took all my shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, toothbrush, and my favorite scented shower gel: vanilla. "Reducto," (for about the 5th or 6th time is it now?) I ran into my room and stuffed it all into the bag. "I'm ready," I called as I zipped up the zipper and dragged it into the living room and saw Dad and Aunt 'Lia talking. When I walked in they stopped talking as I was walking and said, "Hey, Lynz, your Mountain Dew is on the table next to 'Lia," Dad said.
"Thanks, Aunt 'Lia for the Mountain Dew," I took a sip, "It's delicious."
"You're welcome Lynz."
"What were you two talking about when I came in?" I asked.
"Oh, it was nothing. Just adult talk nothing special," Aunt 'Lia answered.
"Aunt 'Lia I'm going to go see what movies are at the theater, ok?" I asked.
"Oh, yeah, that's fine. Do you think I could come? Please Remmie? Pretty please?" Aunt 'Lia begged my Dad.
"Of course. You're always welcome to join us," Dad answered.
I walked down the hall to the computer room and sat down at the swivelly chair. Www.wehrenberg,com. All right! Pirates of the Carribean! I've been wantin' to see that movie all summer! It's 11:30, cool, the next show is at 12:30. Hey Dad! Aunt 'Lia!" I yelled down the hallway. "Do you want to see Pirates of the Caribbean? Next show at 12:30! Please? I've wanted to see it all summer!"
"Oooh. I've heard that that one is really good. Let's go to that one. That ok with you Remmie?" Aunt 'Lia replied excitedly.
"Sure. That's fine. We should go soon then, if it's at 12:30. 'Lia, do you want to ride on the back of my broom or will you drive us down there?" Dad asked.
"I'll drive you down there. I don't want to try to fly down there. I'm not much for flying," she shuddered at the thought of heights. "It'll take about 20 minutes to get there so let's go in about 10 minutes. Ok?"
"Ok," I said. I was ready to go now but I can wait.
We sat in the front room and talked about nothing of any importance what so ever (so there is no time wasting my time typing it!). 10 minutes later we went out to the apartment parking lot and got in my aunt's convertible Corvette and started to ride down to the nearest movie theater. Dad sat in the passenger seat and I sat in the middle back seat.
"So, what's this movie about anyway?" Dad asked.
"Oh, it's about these pirates in the Caribbean," Aunt 'Lia said seriously but trying to make it funny.
"No, really, what is it about?" Dad asked again.
"It's about Captain Jack Sparrow and his search for the legendary Black Pearl. About William's search for the woman he loves, who was captured by the pirates of the Black Pearl. That's all I know about it. The commercials were on like all summer and it looked so good. I can't wait till we get there. By the way, when are we gonna get there, Aunt 'Lia?" I explained (and asked).
"Oh, we'll be there in about 15 minutes, so chill out. We make it eventually."
"Oh, that reminds me, 'Chill out what ya yellin' for.'" I sang much to Lia and Remus's annoyment.
*15 minutes later *
"Finally, that felt like 15 minutes! We're finally here!" I said.
"Lynz, it was only 15 minutes. Oh, I'll get our tickets, you go in and
get some popcorn and soda, ok?" Aunt 'Lia said.
"Ok, meet you there," Dad answered.
We walked over to the concession stand and got in the shortest line.
We waited for about 10 minutes until Aunt 'Lia came over, "You guys are
still in line? Can you guys get me a medium popcorn and a cherry icee,
heres some money for my food. I'll go save us some seats in the theater.
Theater number 3 on the left, ok? See you in few minutes, or hours."
"Ok, meet you there," I said ignoring her last comment as she walked
away. She waved back in recognition that I was talking to her.
* 10 minutes later *
"Dad, when are we gonna get to order? We've been here for like 20 minutes! The movie's probably gonna start any time now," I looked around. "A line over there is moving fast! Let's go over there!" when I said that everyone in front of us rushed over to that line and we walked up to the cashier/ person and ordered. "I'll have 1 cherry icee, 2 medium popcorns and 2 large sodas, one Mountain Dew, the other Diet Coke please," I told him. This was what we always got when we came to the movies with Mum. She taught me that trick I just did to get you to the front of the line. I love that trick. Works every time.
"That'll be 12 lbs. Ma'am." (I don't know the symbol for pounds, sorry!)
I gave him the money and went to go get straws and to butter my popcorn.
"How did you know I liked Diet Coke?" Dad asked me as I walked to get straws, etc.
"I don't know, I didn't really think and ordered what Mum always ordered. I wasn't really thinking," I said quietly. "Ya know out of everyone in my family, I'm the only one who likes butter on my popcorn. Isn't that weird?"
"Not really. I love butter on my popcorn. The more I get to know you, the more you seem like me. I don't know how I didn't notice it. We're just so much alike," Dad said as we walked over to Theater 3 on the left.
When we walked in, the previews had already started. I began to search for Aunt 'Lia in the large crowd of people eager to see the Pirates of the Caribbean.
"Oh, there she is. 5th row from the bottom. Front and center. Best seats in the house! Let's go," I said tugging his arm to make him move.
"All right, all right. I'm going, I'm going," he said imitating me this morning.
"Let's just sit down and watch the movie, wise guy," I replied.
* 135 minutes later *
"That was an awesome movie! My favorite part was all the sword fighting! It was awesome!" I said just after the movie ended.
"That was really good," Aunt 'Lia said not as excited as I was, "I liked how it was a romance/ action film. Those are my favorite kind. And the special effects! Weren't those great, Lynz? It was awesome how the pirates go from skeleton to skin in a matter of seconds! I loved it!"
"It was pretty good. All the movies I have ever seen were mushy lovey, dovey types that I hated, but that was great for everybody!" Dad exclaimed. He was right, it was a great movie for boys and girls alike.
"Hey, Dad. Shouldn't we head back to school now? It's starting to get late. We should really get back to school by dinner time and we still have to have to go back home and get my bags," I said. I don't know maybe I want some time alone with my newly found father that everyone but I knew about. It's just not the right thing when it comes to matters like these. Especially since they all knew I wanted a Dad. Now I finally have one and I have to share him with my aunt. I wanna spend time with him, too.
"Alright, we can go. We might not get back in time for dinner though," Dad answered. I don't think he wants to go. He'd rather spend time with Aunt 'Lia rather than his only daughter!
"Hey, you guys wanna go to this new restaurant, It's like one of those old 50's diners. (A/N: I was in a 50's mood when I wrote this part since I 50's day a couple days after and I was excited! It was also a half-day!) Its called Rockin' Robin's and it looks great. (I don't know if there's a 'Rockin' Robin's' anywhere but if there is I give credit to them!)"
"Good idea. Sounds delicious. Do you wanna go Lynz?" Dad asked he really wanted to go. I could tell. Does he like her? Nah, it couldn't and wouldn't happen. At least I hope not.
"All right. We can go. Let's just go back soon. Ok?" I said reluctantly.
"Alright, well then, let's go!" Aunt 'Lia said. We got into her car and drove into the dusk.
