Well, You Learn Something New Every Day; Chappie Three:
Heh, I have no words. Sorrryyy~ AP is stressful and coughing sucks.
Still mad? Oh well, I probably deserve it. Well, onward!
England's POV
I was shocked, to say the least. How had he -no, she- hidden this so well? I had raised her, for God's sake!
"H-how?" was the only word my stunned mind could find. She chuckled.
"You're not the only one with a magical community, Iggs. Transfiguration is a rather easy form of magic." Oh, then she's known about magic, too. Wait, wha-?
My gape-mouthed appearance must've been rather amusing, for she started to laugh so hard she nearly fell off the couch.
"Excuse my manners," she finally managed to get out. "I was not under the impression that this –revealing my 'big secret'- would be so freeing." I let out a chuckle myself.
"What had you expected then?" Her mirth died quickly.
"War. Sanctions. The usual." I opened my mouth to ask the essential question of why? or why in the name of Hell have you come up with an idea like that? but she stopped me with a fixed glare that brought a new meaning to 'if looks could kill'.
"People have done far worse for far less, England." I was saddened by the fact that she was right. Seemingly in an instant, however, she gathered her good cheer about her as if it were tangible. Which, to me, it might as well have been.
"Enough of this." She beamed at me and stuck out her hand. "Alexandra Foster Jones, at your service. You may call me Alex, or Al, or anything really." I smiled tentatively as I took her hand –God, it was so soft-
"Still just Arthur Kirkland. I would ask you to not call me Iggy, if I thought there was the slightest chance you would listen." She grinned.
"I know you have questions for me, so would you like to accompany me to my home for tea and some decent scones?" I gulped as nervous anticipation trickled down my spine.
"But of course, my lady. But of course."
Exciting, no? Things might start to pick up after this chapter, but then again, that depends on what Preston (my little shite of a muse) wants to do. I apologize for the lateness. I might try to update weekly or monthly, but I do not know about that. Bye!
