He looked back down at the charm again. It was really nice looking, and it must have cost her an arm and a leg to get it for him. Just like the necklace he had gotten her. Just thinking about that made his heart ache unbelieveably. "Oh, so, erm, how do I carry this with me all the time? In my pocket?" he asked, picking it up and examining it. As soon as he did, it started flashing. He blinked and dropped it in surprise. "What does that mean?" he demanded, looking at her again.
He looked down at the box again and saw that he had missed something the first time. Picking up the charm again and setting it aside, he picked up the scarf that was in the box and grinned. "Holyhead Harpies...nice," he chuckled, unwrapping the scarf that was decorated in the same colors and emblem as his favorite Quidditch team. Ever.
But of course Cale hadn't forgotten that she'd stumbled over a ton of words trying to divert his attention from the Trelawney discussion earlier. He, of all people, would probably always be able to tell when she was lying or not telling the complete truth. Anna shook her head once again. "Look, Cale...we need to just forget about my little meeting with Miss Trelawney. It's over -
thank Merlin - and done with, so no need worrying about it now," Anna said. "But, just, don't ever take me to Miss Trelawney, okay?" Once again, she really appreciated all Miss Trelawney had said to her, but on the other hand, she couldn't stand anyone mentioning anything that may hurt Cale, and that's just what Miss Trelawney had done. It also scared Anna just a bit that she was actually taking bits and pieces of Miss Trelawney's advice and using them in her relationship with Nico.
"Well, actually, you can carry it anywhere. In your pocket, on a keychain...on a necklace," Anna explained. "It's actually meant to be worn on a necklace, and I've already got you one of those, but you don't have to wear that if you don't want to..."
Anna jumped back and stared at the...
device...when it proceeded to start flashing immediately when Cale touched it. "Cale!" Anna exclaimed, leaning down to pick up the charm. "On second though, you touch it," Anna said. It wouldn't due for that little charm to start flashing on her,
too, now would it? "Anyway, you asked what it meant when the device flashed. Well, it's telling you that you're currently involved in something or making some sort of decision that's going to really mess things up for you. Now you just have to figure out
what that is."
"Oh, and I'm glad you like the scarf," Anna mumbled, still looking down at the device with interest. Now just what was Mister Newell doing so wrong in his life?
