Traveling Muggle Style


A suitcase??? Rhea eyed the thing. Why did she have to drag this thing around? There was nothing remotely convenient about it. She wanted her trunk! Ugh! She folded in her clothes, all muggle attire, seeing as Torin and Sav insisted that she dressed normally. She did dress normally, it was the muggles who dressed weird and carried around useless suitcase contraptions that could barely fit anything inside. To be safe she packed her magical pouch that she threw all her other stuff into and tossed it on top of her suitcase which she then kicked the flap onto and proceeded to jump on it, in order to shut the thing.

Rhea grumbled as she dragged the suitcase behind her into this so called airport or whatever. She had never been into one before. She squealed when she approached the door and found that it opened for her. She looked around her. No one was looking so she made several trips back and fourth in and out of the automatic door, until finally an airport police told her to cut it out. Muggles were so mean. She didn't understand how it affected anyone if she simple walked in and out the door. Stiff shirts. Then that escamater business was just rough, she had gone up the wrong one and her suitcase rolled all the way down and she couldn't get off it, until thankfully a nice man helped her off it.

The flight to New York wasn't smooth either.

After taking her seat she got up to 'explore the plane'. As soon as the hostesses were out of sight she made her way to the cockpit, only to be stopped by one of the pilots.

"You're not allowed around here." He said blocking her path. Rhea frowned.

"I'm only looking around Mister muggle" She said with her hands on her hips.

"What the blazes did you call me?"
Rhea almost repeated the word to the man but then stopped herself. Right. The whole secrecy stuff.

"I asked what those shiny blinking light stuff are for?" She asked trying to look past him. The pilot took her hand and tried pulling her out.

"Ma'am, I'm going to ask you to leave one more time or I'll through you from the plane." The pilot said, his face reflecting every bit of annoyance that he felt.

"That's fine I can fly." She frowned and walked away, leaving the pilot blinking dumb foundedly at her disappearing back. He wasn't quite positive that the young woman said what she said.

LMAO I love Rhea and her muggle ignorance.
Great start, Davs.

Now you're in NEW YORKKK. These streets will make you feel brand new; big lights will inspire you. LET'S HEAR IT FOR NEW YORKKKKK.

Why is she going to NY, btw?

heheh. Keep postin', woman.

Torin’s
Finally she was off the crazy muggle streets and at torin’s apartment.she was so bloody tired,what with all the strange mechanical animals trying to run her over and the getting stuck on the moving stairs that was going the wrong way at the airport.all in all her experience was terrible .then the man at the door banned her from coming back.pft,like she cared,she HATED travelling like a muggle.torin and savannah better make it up to her or heads would roll. She knocked loudly on torin’s apartment door,but didn’t have to wait long before he let her in.
“Rhea ! Torin said hugging her as she walked in.ok so a hug made her feel a little better.she hugged him back and dragged her suitcase in.
“hey tor can I do magic nnnoowww?!” she asked as she broke from the hug.torin chuckled and nodded then took her suitcase and brought it to the room that she was staying in.she plopped down into the couch.
“Rhea do you want anything” torin called from the kitchen.pft no she didn’t.what she wanted was to go exploring. torin promised to show her around and show her muggle stuff.she would start working at the hotel in a couple of months anyways,so she needed the lessons.
“NO! I want to go exploring!”she called back to him.
“Rhea im right here don’t yell”. Rhea looked up at torin who was standing behind the couch and grinned
“oh sorry,thought you were still in the kitchen”. torin shook his head and then got the keys to his car.
“we’ll take the Ferrari,let me just get my wallet”. torin disappeared for awhile and rhea walked to the door. ”wait a minute what did torin say about a ferret ?” she asked herself.
“ready rhea? we’re going to watch a movie”. Torin said as he rejoined her at the door. Rhea raised her eyebrow as she looked at him.
“you’ll see when we get there”. he said as he lead her to the muggle lift. she had taken the stairs ,because she wasn’t quite sure how to use it.
"We're going in there?" she asked staring at the elevator. Torin nodded.
"yes Rhea, we are." He pulled her into the elevator and pressed the bottom for ground floor. Rhea's eyes went wide when she saw the lights. Immediately she started pressing the buttoms. Torin swatted at her arms in alarm.
"Rhea noooooooooooo! Do you want us to get stuck in here?" Rhea shook her head. She certainly would not like that. The whole point of leaving England to visit Torin in New York was so she could explore the place. Being stuck in a muggle lift was just plain lame.

When they finally got out of the elevator, Torin and Rhea walked to the parking area to where Torin's red porshe was.
"That's your ferret?!" She titlted her head to the side and looked at it from different angles.
"It doesn't look like a ferret to me." Torin chuckled and shook his head.
"No Rhea, not a ferret. A ferrari. It's a type of car." He explained. Rhea mouth a silent Oooo and moved in close to Torin putting on a puppy dog pout.
"Please may I drive it Tor?" she begged. Torin looked at her like she was crazy.
"Oh no. noooooooooooooooooooooooooo."
"But..."
"Heck no Rhea."
Rhea pouted and folded her arm across her chest. Savannah really was starting to rub off on her. A sly grin then crossed her lips.
"Where are your keys Tor?"
"In my pocket....why?"
"Oh no reason." She smiled innocently. Torin eyed her then moved towards his car. In a fluid movement, Rhea whipped out her wand and summoned Torin's keys to her. Torin looked at her with a horrified expression on his face.
"Rhea! You were suppose to leave your wand inside!" Rhea chuckled and spun the keys around her finger.
"yeah i know."

She clumsily climbed over the door (which caused Torin to pull out some of his hair) and did what she saw the taxi men do at the airport. She stuck the key into the ignition and jammed on the gas. The car sped backwards and smashed into the benz parked behind it.
Rhea knew she was dead. Torin was going to keeeeeeeel her. She looked at him. He looked like he was about to blow.

"RHEAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Rhea was extremely exhausted. It had been a very long day at the hotel and she still had to finish her rounds before she could even think about retiring to her room. She had completed her rounds on the wizarding wing but she still had the muggle wing left. She was really missing Emiliano now because usually he would be responsible for making rounds on the muggle wing but he was off visiting his family so all was left up to her. The rules were that they had to walk their rounds on the muggle wing or take the muggle lift but Rhea quite frankly had no idea how to work the thing and she was far too tired to even think about walking. She debated with herself on whether nor not she should just apparate around the wing and call it a day. She knew that if her grandfather found out she would be in big trouble but she was willing to risk it. Her exhaustion won so she ignored her better judgement and disapparated from her office.

"HOLY CRAP! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!"

Rhea spun around and her eyes bulged from shock and fright. A muggle man was looking on with the same expression on his face that she had on her face. He pointed a trembling hand at her and then turned on his heels and started running. Without thinking about what she was doing Rhea whipped out her wand and pointed it at him. "STUPIFY!"
The force of the spell sent the man flying into a nearby coconut tree. He landed heavily on the ground. For a while Rhea just stood there with her hands covering her mouth but after a while she ran to his side. What had she done? She could see the headlines already and her grandfather's angry face when word got out about what just happened. She needed to act quickly. With unsteady hands Rhea pulled the man up into her arms and apparated to her room. She would just have to hide him until he came to. She tried wetting him with water, shaking him and even pouring potions down his throat along with everything she could remember from school but nothing worked. She began to panic even more as the hours wore on. She now noticed a huge swelling on the man's head along with several bruising and for the life of her she couldn't remember muggle first aid. Professor Jeremy was a huge distraction. She could never focus in that class. Muggles...muggle friends! Right. Aiden was halfblood and probably didn't know that much and Torin was sick...crap she was dead. Oliver!! He would know what to do. Knowing him he probably almost killed tons of people and he was muggle born. She figured the quickest way to get to him was to send her patronus. That way, he would definitely know that it was an emergency. After several failed attempts because of her inability to focus on a happy thought at that particular time, she produced her patronus which she sent to Oliver.

She didn't have to wait long until Oliver appeared in her livingroom with a loud pop. She immediately pointed to the man who laid sprawled on her floor barely breathing.
"What did you do this time clumsy?" He asked while checking for a pulse.
" It was an accident I swear! He was running and then I flicked and now he's there!" Finally she broke and started crying. She was going to lose her job, her grandfather was going to lose his hotel and she was going to be a murderer. Oliver looked up from the man with a somewhat stern expression on his face.
"Snap out of it Rhea. We're going to wipe his memory and then dump him at a muggle hospital. They'll know what to do. Now come here and take his legs."
"But what if someone from the muggle hobsticle sees us? I don't wanna go to Azkaban!!"
"They won't. Take his legs Rhea." She nodded and waited for Oliver to wipe his memory then she took his legs.
" Merlin! He's so heavy! Why did you have to almost kill such a chunky bloke Rhea?" Rhea rolled her eyes at him.
"You're not helping Oliver."
" Oh but I think I am. I'm on the other end of the muggle man YOU almost killed I ..."
" Alright alright! Just pipe down with the almost killing part already." Oliver grinned cheekily.
"After three..." On Oliver's count they disapparated with a pop from Rhea's room. Following Oliver's lead, they hauled the man's body to the back of the hospital then disapparated.

Oh my god, Davs.. this is REALLY good! *flails* I adore Rhea and her confusion about all things muggle.

And Oliverrr? He's so casual about the fact she almost killed someone.. it's so very him. You captured him really well.

Write. More. Soon.

Yaaaaaay!! I'm really glad you guys like them. I guess I should keep going then?

continue you girl!
