Finished The girl with the red umbrella Solo

indexLeaving the Manor discreetly is not easy, and that’s why Margaux decided not to hide. After all, her home shouldn’t be a prison. She didn’t say where she was going to go, just that she would come back before nightfall. In any case, father did not pay attention to her, would he even notice her absence? Nothing was less certain. As for her mother, Margaux had told her enough so that she would not worry too much.

indexThomas had tried to find out more about her city trip, but she hadn’t said anything. In truth, she herself did not know what she was going to do. Then, after clearing her brother with a vague gesture of the hand, Margaux called the Knight Bus. In record time, she arrived in West London. Not knowing what to do, she strolled through the streets among the tourists who had come to celebrate the new year.

indexA pretty blonde with a red umbrella caught his attention. She was wearing a grey raincoat and a scarf the same color as the umbrella. Her blonde curls were carelessly falling around her face, giving her a candid look that left Margaux flabbergasted. She did not think that she could fall under the spell of a stranger, a moldue who is even more.

indexTaking her courage from Gryffindor with both hands, Margaux approached her. She wanted to talk to him. She needed to talk to him. To learn more about her. Maybe they could become good friends. If dad didn’t, of course. And Thomas wouldn’t.

'Hi! You... I love your hair! I... What’s your name?'

indexShe turned to Margaux, apparently surprised by the compliment. She returned her smile before answering.

'Thank you! My name is Marianne, and you?'
'Margaux.'
'It’s French, isn’t it?'
'Yes.'
'I'm French.'
'Oh!'

indexNow that she said it, it is true that she may have had a slight accent. This only made her more desirable in Margaux’s eyes.

'You looking for something?'
'Oh no, I... I just wanted to talk to you.'

indexThen the two girls talked. Long time. It had been a while since Margaux had felt so good in someone’s company. They strolled through the city, laughing softly in the rain that fell randomly. When the sun began to set, Margaux left Marianne, promising to meet her again. The moldue was very surprised that Margaux does not have a phone, so they decided to write each other letters, as in old times. Margaux had given her the address of her brother Jake’s apartment. She will have to put it in confidence.

indexMargaux was only eager to see her again.
