DISCLAIMER- I DON'T OWN HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE!

IAG- Ok this fic is based on the ANIME movie not the book even though I should read it….

Sophie was sitting in her chair in her room, which Howl had kindly moved upstairs. Melodiously she played her violin a hobby she had started not having much to do these days. Skillfully she moved her arm causing the sweet sound this one was her favorite it started slowly soulfully getting faster.

There was a knock at the door, putting down the violin she went to answer it. Opening the door she saw blue eyes staring back at her "Howl" she said a little startled "what is it?"

"I'm going away for a while I thought you'd like to know" he smiled playfully "because you always get so worried if I go away." She gave a half frown he was mocking her again, even if he was older he still had the heart of a child. "You're getting much better" he brought her out of her thoughts.

"What" she asked.

"At the violin I could hear you, you're much better than you were" he explained outstretching his hand she took it automatically.

"Thank you" she said as he led her downstairs and into the main room, Markl was playing with Heen.

"Are you leaving all ready Master Howl" he asked looking up.

"Yes Markl."

"Where are you going anyway?"

"To Madam Suliman she's sent me a notice" Howl said.

"But what" Sophie stumbled with words with pure shock.

"Don't worry this time she's not after me, it seems she gave up or something like that" he said changing the knob to yellow (I think that's the right color).

"What is it all about" Sophie asked as he opened the door.

"That's for me to know" he stated and turned around and blew her a kiss "until later love" and with that walked out.

"That wizard" she said shaking her head and throwing a log at Calcifer (who has two hearths one inside the other out) "what do you know about this" she asked him.

"So sorry but I have no idea" he said eating a stick.

"How would you like a cup of cold water" she threatened.

"I told you I don't know Howl didn't tell me anything" he said trying to shrink a bit.

"Well in that case I think I could use some tea" she said grabbing a kettle.

"Oh no don't even think about it" he said trying to get away but the kettle was placed on top of him.

"Would you like some tea" she asked the witch of the waste.

"Yes that would be nice dear" she answered looking up from the book she was reading.

"I'm a scary fire demon" he said sticking out his tongue "not meant to heat water."

"Oh be quiet" Sophie said getting some cups out.

They all quietly had tea with Heen's accessional hoarse barks. When they all we finished Sophie cleaned up a little bit , did this and that. After she was done she went to the flower field (I will now add that they not did remake the flower shop) and put some flowers in a basket.

"These will do nicely" a cold wind passed over the field making her shudder it's never this cold here strange she thought. Quickly she went back toward the door, a shadow passed over the field she looked up to see nothing ……. Shaking it off as her imagination she went inside with her basket.

She noticed that no one was in the house when she walked in they're probably outside, she sent the basket on the table and went out to the mini yard. It was starting to get late, you could almost see the stars beginning to come out "all right you two it's time to come inside" she said in a motherly fashion.

"Aww do we have to" Markl asked pouting slightly.

"Yes you do…..do you need any help" she asked the witch.

"No it's all right I'll be fine" she said getting up.

I wonder why the field was so cold today and what was with that shadow, I wonder how Howl's doing and what was he hiding that he won't tell Calcifer.

"Hey Sophie" the sudden yell shook her back.

"What" she asked.

"I asked if you were all right" the fire demon replied.

"Why do you ask" she asked.

"Because you usually don't just stand there like that" he said grabbing a stick.

"I was thinking, that's all" she said simply and walked to her room. She looked at the violin she didn't really feel like playing. Instead she opened the window and leaned out feeling the air rush by her. Looking down she saw the slight hint of lights I wonder where we are right now she thought. Sort of in a daze she settled into her bed and stared at her ceiling. Forcing her eyes shut she slowly fell asleep.
