SENTENCE MEME: 99 HUMOROUS HAWKE QUOTES

“ Well, if anyone could do it Fred, it’d be you, wouldn’t it? ”

It was a quiet night, and Harry wasn’t actually sure how far he’d walked- only that the neighbourhood no longer looked familiar. He knew storming away after causing an outburst of accidental magic was stupid- dangerous even, but he really couldn’t care just yet. A tiny, tiny, very small part of him did feel bad for inflating his Aunt Marge- but the rest of him felt a vicious sense of satisfaction that such a vile, awful and cruel woman got what was coming.

 Coming upon a playground, Harry realised it was so quiet he could hear almost everything- the creaking of the swings in the wind, even the rustle of leaves. It was peaceful, at night- with no people around to make a ruckus-

A twig snapped- something big was moving in the bushes.

“You’ve got to be kiddin’ me, Andy!” Gwen howled at her cousin as she stood at his door, Anwen by her side. “I ‘ave to be at work in 15 minutes and you’re tellin’ me now you can’t mind her!”

Andy apologised again sighting anticipated trouble at some concert that was due to start in the next hour, “It’s mandatory overtime Gwen, I have to go!” he implored her, “I am sorry you know.”

Gwen sighed. Of course she knew he was sorry, but fat lot of good sorry did her when she needed to be at her new job in less than 15 minutes and she had no one to to watch her daughter.

“I’m gonna end up sacked again I know it,” Gwen moaned as she took Anwen’s hand and started walking back to her car.

“Mummy, if you get sacked, can I quit school to save money?” Anwen perked up from below her.

The dark haired security guard stopped and blinked down at her daughter, a slow smile spread across her face, “You are too smart fer y’er own good, Love” she laughed softly, “and NO, that does not mean you get to quit school young lady.”

Gwen buckled her into her booster seat and took off for the club. She would have to bring her along while she explained why she couldn’t come in to work tonight. In the back of her mind she almost hoped having Anwen with her would keep her from getting fired!

It didn’t take long until they arrived at Saxon’s. Anwen was already asking a million questions, first being if she’d see Jack of course. Gwen did her best to answer each one without sounding too impatient while she unbuckled the wiggly preschooler from her seat. Once out of the car, Gwen knelt down to speak with her.

“Now listen here, Love, you hold my hand at all times, you got it? You talk to no one... no strangers and above all, behave y’erself! This is where mummy works, yeah?” With a small sigh, Gwen took her hand and walked her in through the employee entrance. Luckily, no one was really here yet so she didn’t have to worry about throngs of strangers around her little girl.

She decided to go straight to Harry since she hadn’t been working here very long. Maybe appealing right to the boss himself would be the right thing to do she reasoned. “Come along Anwen, don’t dawdle,” she told the pint size girl.

Taking a deep breath, Gwen knocked on Harry’s door, waiting for him to answer, she smiled down at Anwen, “Be a good girl, smile, be polite to Mummy’s boss, Mr. Saxon, and we’ll get a Mr. Frosty on the way home,” she promised her.
