Chapter 5:

Staying the Night

That night the time seemed to fly by fast. Before I knew it, it was already eleven at night and I hadn't found a place to stay!

"Well, I should be going now," I said slowly, getting to my feet, "Thanks for the rest."

"Where are you headed to next?" asked the man's wife, Marsha.

"Uh, well - I'm going to go, Er - sight seeing in the morning, so - Uh - I should go find a hotel." I replied hesitantly.

"Well, wait, you are welcome to stay here if you'd like. I mean, it is getting late and if you don't know your way around..."

"Well, I really don't know where to find a good hotel, so I guess I could crash here for the night, but only if you don't mind." I do need to take another look at that map, I thought.

"Of course we don't mind, Siri!" said the man, Oscar. "You can stay as long as you need to!"

"Oh, thank you guys very much. Um- I should probably go to bed since I'll be leaving pretty early and- "

"I'll show you where you can sleep," interrupted Marsha, " follow me."

We walked in the house and Marsha offered to take my cloak. "Oh- Uh- " But before I could say anything, Marsha took it off.

She set it down then looked a little weird. She then said hesitantly, "Hey, Siri - Um- are you Uh - magically involved?"

"What?" I asked startled. "Do you mean to ask if I'm a wizard?"

"Yeah, that's what I meant." Marsha responded quickly(maybe rather too quickly).

"Yes, actually I am, but- What made you ask me that?"

"Well I Uh- " Marsha pointed at my wand.

"Oh! Okay, I see." I interrupted, "Are you a wizard, too?"

"Yes I am, but I barely do magic."

"Why is that?"

"Well," said Marsha, "There are many suspicious muggles hanging around and my husband and I don't want to get weird questions from the police. So if we do perform magic we do it inside the house."

"Yeah, I understand what you mean." I said while she led me through the hall to the room I was to stay in.

"Well here you are, hope you enjoy our guest room!"

"Thanks a lot! Good night."

That night I couldn't sleep. There were a few reasons for this. One, I couldn't stop going over the plans I had for the trip ahead; two, I couldn't stop thinking about Sirius; and three, I didn't really know these people, and I didn't want to make myself a target.

The rest of the night I sat in bed planning about where I wanted to go looking. I did this until about four in the morning, then decided to get up. After I freshened up, I made myself some coffee (magically, of course) and went out into the living room to see if anyone was there. After a minute I decided to just leave. But when I put my hand on the door knob I heard something move behind me.

"Hello?" I called.

"Are you leaving this early?" I saw Oscar come into view.

"Uh- Yeah, I need to get an early start."

"At least eat something first." And at those words he waved his wand and a table with french toast and orange juice appeared in front of me.

"Oh thanks, but- "

"Sit - Eat. " Interrupted Oscar. I didn't want to be rude so I sat down and ate a little. I have to admit I sure was hungry.

About twenty minutes later I set down my fork, "Well - Er - good bye."

"Your welcome back anytime!" At those words I left the house and faced the street ahead of me - ready and prepared.
