Noelle's mouth dropped open in disbelief. Had Sabbie just asked her that??

She turned to the table and put her hand on her forehead and leaned into it a bit. She hd to think. Because she actually did want to. She wanted to go find his father, and watch him dance, and hang out with his family. The most fun she ever had was when she was with them. All the talking and laughing, singing and dancing.

Noelle's family was brilliant too but her parents were mad at her right now. They would surely keep her locked in her room and an eye on her like before. Sabbie was right... She was more alive when she was outside.

Biting her lip, she didn't know what to do. Noelle sighed and thought some more. She couldn't leave her brothers and the new baby sister that had arrived while she was in Hogwarts. What about Hope and Chris?? Hope would be starting school next term and Noelle needed to be here for her. She couldn't do that if she was with Sabbie.

"I need to be in school... I don't need my parents worrying about me. I'd love to go with you, but I can't leave my family. They are important. Just like your family is important to you. And I have to come back here next term. Hope will be starting. Noelle told Sabbie without looking at him. She felt bad. She wanted to... But she.. Couldn't.


Sabbath understood her apprehension over her ties to her family, he really did. Nothing would come between him and his family, not even his opporunity to stay at Hogwarts. What he couldn't understand though, was how she could choose to forgo her freedom. Freedom was something Sabbath held dear, he did not want to even imagine what it would be like to be locked away in a bedroom and kept away from friends over summer. He couldn't understand how she could choose that. He had thought she was different, more like him.

He sighed sadly and gave a shrug of resignation, "Well, I guess this is goodbye then". His eyes met hers and he gave a forlorn smile.

I've loved having you as a best friend, Nells. If I don't return, know I'll remember you always, and even though it hurts to say goodbye, I have no regrets, he said quietly.

It seemed his plans to come and steal Nells away via her bedroom window the night of his family's travel would not come to fruition. But, he knew if she was unsure of her own heart, she shouldn't come, and he would not ask her again. He would leave a week from now to travel with his family, departing before daybreak, as they always did, so many times before.
