In Through the Out Door
A Harry Potter UNIVERSE/ Sasporilla Bucket Fan Fiction
by Darren Kelly
Chapter 11
No one saw Sasporilla slip out of the house with her broom. She cast "Ocasum Celare" and activated the brooms cloaking. She took off into the cold night sky and flew around the city dipping down onto quiet streets to see the Christmas lights going by. Sasporilla was sad and taking her broom for a ride cleared her head, usually. Sassy stayed out until she was cold then came back to Castle road.
Sasporilla landed her broom and canceled the cloaking spell. When she walked in Korry was sitting with his parents talking quietly. Karry was sitting on the stair case.
"Where have you been?" Karry asked. "We've been worried sick!"
"I went for a ride." Sasporilla said. "Looked at the Christmas lights."
"Alone?" Karry asked.
"I needed to be alone for a bit." Sasporilla said.
"Sassy thank god!" Kolleen said hugging the girl. "No matter how stupid my son is please don't run ofc like that again. If anything happened to you I don't think I could deal with it."
"I'm sorry Mrs.Curtiss." Sasporilla apologized. "I just needed to go for a ride to clear my head."
"Yes I understand." Kolleen said. "Ok up to bed the two of you. I'll fix you some hot chocolate and bring it up."
"Thanks mom." Karry smiled.
"Yes thank you Mrs.Curtiss." Sassy smiled.
Kolleen watched the girls go upstairs as she was joined by her Husband.
"This is an awkward situation." Alex Curtiss said hugging his wife.
"I'm grateful to Sasporilla for breaking the spell on Korry but how do we tell her we have to support our sons decision, No matter what. Am I a bad person for caring more about our sons happiness over hers?"
"Yes." Alex said. "You're positively horrid."
"I see some one wants a lump of coal in his stocking." Kolleen Curtiss smiled flicking her husbands nose.
Karrys room was very girly, done up in pinks and frills. Karry collapsed on her bed and Sassy sat on the edge of the day bed. Porridge and Buster followed them in and jumped up on the beds of their girls.
"What did you get Zac for Christmas?" Sasporilla asked her friend.
"He's coming to dinner tomorrow." Karry smiled. "We'll exchange gifts after dinner."
"Cool." Sassy smiled rubbing Buster insisting he was the best boy. "But what did you get him?"
"We're giving each other promise rings." Karry said. "We picked them out in Hogsmead."
"Oh my God!" Sasporilla said running over and giving her friend a hug. "I am so happy for you."
"Thanks." Karry said. "It just seems like a bad time what with you and Korry."
"The world doesn't revolve around me." Sasporilla said. "I'll have bad times and good times. I'm just happy to have a good friend like you to share them with."
"You sappy sod." Karry laughed. "Give me a hug."
Kay walked in on the two girls hugging. "Hey I know your man's done you wrong but no need to switch teams." Kay laughed. "Moms bringing the hot chocolate so I thought I'd come up and get in on it."
"Ok here we go." Mrs.Curtiss said bringing in a tray of mugs. "Fresh hot chocolate for girls only. The boys can fend for themselves!"
Everyone grabbed a mug. Mrs.Curtiss' hot chocolate was legendarily good. One did not just sip it but slide into it like a warm bath. It warmed the insides like a hug for your soul.
Idle chit chat and girl talk turned to affairs of the heart. Karry regaled her mother and sister with the intimate details of her relationship with Zac. It had not gone past kissing which made Mrs.Curtiss very happy but she knew her daughter was nearly sixteen and that seemed to be the age when the girls in her family started to take relationships further.
"So any way Zac and I have gotten each other promise rings for Christmas." Karry said. "So after tomorrow we'll be officially going steady."
"Woohoo!" Kay yelled. "My baby sisters going steady. With a boy! You owe me 5 pounds mum."
"Shut it you!" Kollen laughed.
"What about you Sasporilla?" Kay asked not thinking.
"No." Sassy said. "I'm not interested in going steady with Karry."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"It's good to see you can laugh." Kolleen said.
"Might as well." Sasporilla said. "We've all cried enough for one life."
"Yes we have." Kolleen said. "You are an old soul Sasporilla Bucket. It's moments like this you remind me very much of your mother."
"Thank you." Sassy said. "I miss her."
"Me too." Kollen smiled.
"I don't want you all to feel sorry for me." Sasporilla said.
"No we don't." Kay said as Karry kicked her sister. "Ow!"
"And I don't want you giving Korry a hard time over this. He's entitled to make his choice in love, same as any of us." Sasporilla said stiffly.
"The heart wants what the heart wants." Kolleen Curtis agreed.
"And," Karry said, "the foot gives what the arse deserves."
Sasporilla burst into laughter and fell back on the floor laughing so hard she couldn't breath.
"Grand mothers favorite line." Kay said. "Nice. You're going steady for one day and you're turning into our grandmother."
Karry lashed out at her big sister who grabbed her and started tickling her baby sister.
"Don't make her pee!" Kolleen yelled. "I just cleaned the rug!"
Sasporilla was still laughing, begging for them breathlessly to stop making her laugh.
"All right!" Kolleen said. "Wash, brush, jamies, bed."
Sasporilla and Karry got ready for bed. Karry snuggled into her bed while Sasporilla fought with Buster for one foot of bed space. "Buster move! Don't be a bed piggy!"
Buster got up and moved with a disgruntled huff of objection. Sassy jumped into the day bed quickly before the dog changed his mind.
The girls talked late into the night. They compared their hopes and dreams. Critiqued each others ambitions and laughed about the subtleties of cluelessness in boys until in a moment of silence both girls drifted off into slumber.
