Kris couldn't help but laugh as she called to the goblin, then hid behind him. He shrugged his shoulders as the creature turned around, acting like he didn't know who said anything to him.

And then, she started spinning. She reminded him of his sister when she was hyper on sugar, and laughed. It was entertaining, and in a good way of course. Not that she was anything like his sister - just the hyperness part.

"Well," Kris said, taking her hand. "You don't have to worry about that."

Side-Along Apparition was easy for him. He winked at her, and then a loud CRACK resounded along the fountain, and both were gone.

Jude walked by the fountain in disgust. He couldn't believe it was still there.

On her way to the cafeteria, Jessi stopped to look at that fountain. She'd never really looked very closely at it, although - of course - she knew what it was. Frowning, she got a closer look at it, then looked away. It was a pretty impressive work of art, but quite offensive. They really should get a new statue. she thought, sighing.

Liam was walking to the cafeteria when he accidently bumped into something or someone, it turn out to be a woman. "I am so sorry madame." He smiled as he looked at the Statue. "That is one good statue." He smiled, he wondered how long it had been there, it must have been there for ages. He suddenly remembered the woman he had accidenly run into. "I'm Liam Moiser, Division Head of the Gobstone Division." He held out his hand for the woman to shake.

Jessi jumped when someone ran into her. Her air huffed out in a rush, and she was going to say something, but then the man appologized. She shrugged. It wasn't a big deal...

When he mentioned the statue, she nodded slowly. She turned to look at it, not knowing what to say. The person who sculpted it obviously had talent...but the muggles underneath the wizards were kind of...yeah. She smiled when he introduced himself, feeling a bit better. "I'm Jessica Miller, Office of House-Elf Relocation. But you can call me Jessi. Or...Mouse, I suppose." she rolled her eyes at the nickname her department head had given her. Oh well, it was kinda catchy...

Liam smiled as Jessi interduced herself, it was funny when she said that he could call her Jessi or Mouse, he wondered why it was she was saying he could call her Mouse that was a weird name but he wasn't going to say anything. "Hi Jessi, how are you?" He asked her, he hoped that she was well and he also wondered where she was going. "That's a good place to work, I would have loved to work there, but I love it where I am now." He smiled.

"Um, I'm very good," Jessi told Liam cheerfully. She turned away from the statue to face him. "Work is a bit slow, but that's okay. Gives me more time to do...nothing in particular. Which is great." She smiled. "What about you?" she questioned.

"I like it a lot," she told him. "I've always been interested in magical creatures. But I think working with the Daily Prophet or the Department of International Cooperation would be fun too." When he mentioned that he loved where he was at now, she thought for a minute. Gobstones... "Magical Games and Sports? That would be exciting." she commented, smiling again. "But I don't think I'd do too well in it."

Liam smiled at Jessi. "Work is great, it's going fairly well and it's a good place to work as you get to do fixures for the Gobstone league and also we get to sort things out for championship and so on, it's a good job." He smiled. "It's a bit slow at the minute, but normaly it is good and we get a lot to do."

"I think I would love it too, I think it is great to work with magical creatures and I have also always been interested in them, I have loads of books on them as I love to read about as many as I can." He smiled. "I think you probably would be good at working in the Magical Game and Sports Department as long as you can do fixtures and you are good at working and you do what you are told you would get along greatly with everyone."

Jonathan stopped to look at this fountain. He'd heard it had been there for a while. He inspected it... odd. He didn't quite know what to think of it.

Sitting in Brian's arms comfortably, Becca smiled at him and then shook her head "Of course I'm going to panic.. you know what that wand means to me... Can I have it back?" she pouted at him hoping he'd give to her before she really did freak out.

Nice distraction it was. Wand. Her favourite and important possession. He knew that. Now it came handy to get her recover from what she had encountered with just before. Haha.

"What if I refuse?" he raised his brows playfully at her, as he let her go on her feet, his hands around her securely.

Standing up normally, Becca saw him raise his eyebrows playfully and then looked into his eyes, teasing back "You wont live to the end of the sentence" she grinned "Now, seriously, give it back" she held her hand out for her wand.

Brian took few steps backwards, shaking his head as smiled mischievously. He was so in play mood. And he had got her too. Let's play baby. He tilted his head sideways slightly, "Really? But I'm not serious," he crossed his arms across his chest.

She eyed him as he stepped backwards. If he wanted to play, this was not the game he should have chosen. She blinked at him lazily before raising her own eyebrows and taking a step forward while keeping her eyes locked on him "I am... give it back Brian" she said in a low voice.

Brian chuckled, again took a step backwards as she took one step forward and blinked before threatening him gently. "I thought my Becs was a grown-up." he smirked, his eyes was soft yet naughty.

She stepped fowards again, her eyes darting all over his face as she felt panic rise up in her "Brian. Give me my wand back" she told him as she took another step forward, stopping herself from attacking him "I'm not joking" she scowled at his smirk.

Brian looked extremely cool. Watching her taking steps forward him he grinned, letting her forget her previous lil sickness. She was almost got back her normalcy. Or atleast he thought.

"I'll. Cant i keep it for sometime?" he asked, running his hand over both of their wands on his back pocket.

She took another step forward and then glared at him "No! Give it back!" she saw him run his hand over his back pocket "Brian" she warned again. As she moved to the side a little, she saw her wand sticking out of his pocket and she jumped forward, pushing his shoulders so he fell over and she landed on him "Give me my wand!" she looked into his eyes as she tried to calm herself down "Now" she breathed.

He grinned and was about to take a step backward again, it happened. He found himself on the floor as Becca landed on him, demanding her wand furiously. It was absolutely unexpected. He was on the floor near the fountain, in the same level where he was working. He looked around for a second. Ignoring others gazes, he pulled out her wand from his pocket and handed over to her before gently pulled away from below her.

There was some pain on his lower hips. He rubbed his hips as stretched out his back backwards to see if it was going tobe alright.

She looked into his eyes as he handed her wand over. She took then wand and then looked over at him stretching "Sorry" she mumbled as she looked down at her feet. Then it caught her eye. She her jaw dropped and her mind started to work fast as she lifted up her wand to eye level "Brian" her voice trembled "Bri.." she held the wand out for him to look at, unable to look at it anymore. The wand had been snapped, only held together by a splinter. She put her free hand over her mouth as she tried to hold back the tears. It was her own stupid fault, and she knew it.

Brian stopped streching and looked at her apologized face and suddenly her face went to panic mood. What now? Then he looked at the broken wand and watched her getting tears.

His hand went back to his pocket again and pulled out the other wand. He was right. He knew his wand. The broken one was his'. He took the splinters from her hand and replaced it with her original wand. "Now you have your wand back, safely. Be happy." he said and started walking back towards his office, slowly with pain on his hips.

She glanced at him and gasped as he pulled her wand from his pocket "Brian!" she breathed as she glanced at his face as he spoke. Becca suddenly felt really bad, but she had her wand back, shouldn't she feel happy? Resisting the urge to just drop it, she ran after him and stopped in front of him. Her heart was aching. "Brian, I'm sorry" she took his hand and kissed it gently before placing her wand in his hand "Take it. Look after it. It's time i moved on from them anyway" she smiled at him a little sadly. Those seconds of her thinking she'd lost her wand had made her realise she'd been living in her memories. It was time to move on with her life, and Brian was her life. Her eyes roamed over his face, taking in his expressions.

There she was. In front of him, looking confused. He stopped walking listening her talks. Emotionless. He had experienced something new from the hands of a woman for the first time. He could react badly. But he didnt not. It was Becca who did this to him. Becca was the only woman who could get away with this with him. He loved her beyond the imagination. What the painful part was, not his bothering hips but the trust which she didnt put on him. He had to rest his back against the wall for ignoring the painful hips.

Then she kissed his hand and handed over her wand to him. "It's okay. Keep it." he stretched out his wand hand to her, "We cant choose wands. But wand chose us." he said calmly, planning his visit to Diagon Alley for a new wand.

Becca looked into his eyes as he spoke and shook her head "I never said you have to use it" she told him. After pressing her wand into his hand and making sure he had a good grip on it, she backed out of arms length "No, you don't understand, Brian, I'm willing to stop living in this dream world. I need your help to get me to stop thinking that me having that wand will bring them back. Please, take it, lock it up or something, because I want to be living for us, not for the past." She nodded to him to show she wanted to start a life with him without having that small part of her aching for her family who were never coming back. Brian was her family now, he had her devoted to him and she wanted to make sure he had ALL of her devoted to him.

She shoved back her wand into his hand again. He sighed and leaned back his head, looking at her. Was she conscious? fully? What if she attack later sometime for this same wand? But still she wanted to forget her superstitions, unnatural thoughts. She asked his help for that. He had in a position to say yes. But he had this doubt in the corner of his mind. Why did she need to forget the past? If it gives her some relief and hopes then why should she stop believing on that stuff?!

He took a deep breath after putting a temporary full stop of his chain of thoughts. "Okay. I'd like to help you. But think twice before decide." he said as fiddling with her wand.
