Chapter Eleven: Leaving

A/N: This is an extremely short chapter. And I will be posting the next one today too...

Jennie stopped short at the foot of the stairs. Molly was in the kitchen, she could tell by the clatter of pots and pans she heard, but the door was shut. Jennie pulled the Extendable Ear that she'd swiped from Fred out of her pocket. She put it in place. "No. Everything is fine." Molly whispered, glancing at the door. "I don't recall making a telephone call to you, Mrs. Garland. But you're so insistant . You'll have to understand, I've been away for a month, tending to business elsewhere." Jennie plucked the Extendable Ear out and sat on the bottom step. Molly HAD been there for the past month. She had seen her.

Jennie had had enough betrayal. She lept up from her perch on the stairs and with tears running down her face, she picked up the trunk filled with Hogwarts supplies for tomorrow's trip and dumped it out on her bed. She quickly began to fill it with her clothes. Jennie lifted her trunk, but after a second placed it down again. There was one more thing to do.

Lifting open the window, she climbed out and was free.
