Chapter Four
At eight-thirty Crystal was woken up by her owl, Mitharma and Rachel's owl, Nimfalas. She sat up and got the note off of Nimfalas's leg and opened it.
Hey Crystal,
Can you come spend the rest of the summer over here? My parents said I can have you over and Emily over for a few nights during the time you're staying. If you can we'll pick you up noon. Send your answer as soon as possible. The muggles should be getting a letter in a few minutes if it's not there already.
From,
Rachel
Crystal looked up at Nimfalas and Mitharma and stroked their backs. Then went downstairs to the kitchen where Aunt Myra was cooking breakfast. Crystal said, "Did you get a letter from the Roth's?"
Myra said, "Yes it's on the counter. You can go but make sure you have all of your stuff because we're not sending you any stuff you've forgotten."
"Okay" Crystal said and ran up the stairs by two steps at a time.
Once she got to her room, she wrote a quick note to Rachel saying that she can go and send a message back if Emily is able to come. She put the note on Nimfalas's leg and then put the note to Harry on Mitharma's and said to Mitharma, I'm going to be over at Rachel's when you get done with sending that to Harry. Okay I'll bring your cage over there. Then Mitharma bit her finger affectionately as if saying that she understood and then flew out the window with Nimfalas.
Crystal went downstairs and saw her cousins sitting at the table and her uncle just went out the door to go to work. She sat down and quickly ate her breakfast. Then she went back upstairs to pack. When she finished Jacob's tawny owl, Jackie showed up with a letter. It said:
Hi Crystal,
Are you okay about last night? I wanted to make sure your okay. Well I'm going to be over at Ryan's tonight if you need to contact me. I'll see you Friday!
Love from,
Jacob
She quickly wrote a letter back:
Hey Jacob,
I'm mostly fine. I'm just worried that Voldemort coming after all of us Rachel was lucky and was able to escape. I'm going to be over at Rachel's for the rest of the summer if you need to contact me. Well I got to go. See You Friday!
Love from,
Crystal
P.S Keep an eye out for him.
She put the note on Jackie's leg and Jackie flew out the window and Crystal shut it. She looked at the clock and it was ten forty-five. Crystal went to her bed and got her charms book from her suitcase and did her essay that Professor Flitwick assigned it only have to be a paragraph long. By the time she finished it, it was alreadyten-thirtyshe put her book away and started working on her Transfiguration homework and then she heard a tap on her window. She went over and opened it and in flew Nimfalas with a quick note from Rachel:
Crystal,
That's good that you can come. Emily is coming over. We are going to pick you up at eleven instead so you can get out of there.
See you then!
From,
Rachel
p.s. Sorry for the short notice!
Crystal look at the clock and it was now 8 minutes till. Nimfalas flew out once more. So she decided to go ahead and take her bag and Mitharma's cage downstairs. She went in the living room and sat down on the sofa. At eleven the doorbell rang and she ran to the door with her stuff and opened it. Rachel and Emily were there and the Crystal yelled, "Bye everyone! I'm leaving." Then the three of them went to Rachel's.
