" she was interrupted by Dora's entrance, her head an eyes flaming red, she flinched a little in her chair " or at least to normal people, pregnant ones can find it bothering.. I mean, the baby loathes apparating.. and I can't really blame him, it's not pleasant even for us.." she shrugged and rose from her chair " I'm going off for a minute.." she smiled a crooked smile " pregnancy calls.. or nature, whatever" and left for the ladies room.

“Yea, I could. I’m not a fan of apparating, but floo isn’t too bad. Mmm maybe I’ll look further out. 60 galleons while it isn’t bad, it a little rich for my blood.” Calla sighed and turned the page. She waved Melanie off to the bathroom. As she walked out of the room Calla for the 1st time in days or weeks noticed that Melanie’s tummy, it seemed to have grown over night. She didn’t remember it being that big.

She scanned the ads for something further out. And she realized that if she were going to travel by floo every day she could live anywhere. Her mind went wild with possibilities. As she was thinking about all the options an owl flew in, she recognized it immediately. Dread took over her entire body. The owl belonged to her mom. She took the note, slowly opened it and read it. She didn’t need to though, she knew what it said. She turned the parchment over, wrote her mom back and attached it to Rufus and he took flight.

She moved quickly to gather her things, but it felt like she was in slow motion. “Dora, will you please let Melanie know I’ll be back tomorrow late.” She choked back tears, “My father has passed away. We were expecting it so the funeral arrangements have already been made.” She felt the tears burning down her face. She considered apparating to her mom’s house, but decided her mind wasn’t clear enough to do it.

Calla turned and bolted out the door toward the lifts.
