A Room for Pearl

[Zander Smith]

Zander Apparated into Hogsmeade with Pearl still in his arms. "I hope that didn't hurt too much," he said. "I know it's pretty weird when you Apparate with someone else, especially if you've never done it before." He smiled down at her. "Come on, I'll just take you to the Three Broomsticks. It's just over this way." He carried her to the pub and walked in, approaching Madam Rosmerta. "Hi, we need a room for tonight," he said.

Madam Rosmerta looked at them strangely, then nodded. She walked over and got a key. "Here, it's room 7, at the end of the hall on your right."

Zander took the key. "Thank you," he said. He headed up the stairs, still carrying Pearl. When he found the room, he set her down on her feet and unlocked the door. "Well, here it is," he said, pushing the door open. "What do you think?"

[Pearl Nacreous]

"It's comfortable... it smells nice here... like wood and wine." she said sitting on the bed. "Thank you Zander... I think i would of slept in that grave yard if you hadn't gotten me...and best of all, i'm sure Fenrir won't think to look here! he's still at that club! Oh i wish i could learn how to do that, his nose wouldn't be able to follow me anywhere!" she said loving the idea of freedom.

Zander smiled. "Good. I'm glad you like it. I hope Greyback won't think to look for you here; I think you need to be away from him for a while. Do you need anything? A drink or some food? I think tomorrow I'll get you some shoes, once the shops are open again. But if you need anything now, let me know. I want to make sure you're comfortable before I go back to check on my friend."

"No I think I'm fine...Zander?" she said and stood up and kissed him briefly. "thank you." she said and climbed back on the bed and took off her belt and top. she was after all going to sleep and really didn't need to be clothed. she pulled back the top cover and laid down. "I'll see you tomorrow then." and shut her eyes and tired to start easing off to sleep.

Zander bent down to give her a light kiss on the forehead. "Goodnight, Pearl," he whispered. "I'll be back before dawn." He turned to leave, feeling more confused than ever.
