Rowena stood alone in her chambers, staring at her reflection in the mirror with critical eyes. She looked beautiful, as she was supposed to on her wedding day. She stifled a sigh, knowing that if she allowed herself to express her true feelings of the matter, then she'd never leave the room.
She didn't want to get married.
She really didn't! She had been happy, discussing plans for a school with Godric, Helga and Salazar. It had been going great and they'd had so many wonderful ideas that wouldn't fail. Until her Mother had decided that being a single witch with a bright future in front of her wasn't good enough and she was to be married and become a brood mare. Then her life and plans were ruined.
Of course the school could still go ahead, it would just have to be without her.
She placed her hands against her mouth and tried to hide her squeal of disgust and anger. She didn't want to be married, not yet. She gained nothing from being married before she'd lived.
A tapping at her window indicated an owl delivering a letter and she turned away from her reflection, taking solace in the small distraction. Of course, a huge smile blossomed on her face when she recognised Godric's handwriting on the parchment.
We're outside, wards won't let us in but they can't stop portkeys. We'll meet you back at the castle. Hold on tight.
She tried not to laugh at his words but she felt a new lightness when she realised what he was doing, what they were doing. Obviously the lightness could've been down to the fact that the portkey had taken off and she was in the sky but she liked to think that it was because she was free.
