3pm Meeting

Two meetings left.

Ana couldn’t handle how completely distracted she felt. In two hours, she could escape the Hogwarts grounds and potentially never have to return. The fact that she wouldn’t have to deal with any more panicking students or annoyed Slytherins was actually rather beautiful. Taking her quill to her page, Ana noted down everything that the Ministry needed to know about the two o’clock meeting. She made sure to take her time in order to fill the gap between meetings; she had been massively impatient all day, making her lunch hour the longest in a long time. At least she had had the presence of mind that morning to pack something to read.

After putting her finishing remarks on the form, she tucked it between the two files from the previous meeting, setting those back in her drawer. In turn, she picked up the two meant for the next meeting. It was becoming a trend, Ana noted, to have students matched with Graduates. Especially that day. At least most of the graduates had been of a decent age as compared to the student in question; few had the large gap that Keiran and Melissa Hayes had.

Flicking through the pages, Ana hardly bothered to try and absorb any of the information. Why should she, when they would undoubtedly tell her little about the person in question? Whoever was in charge of matching people didn’t seem to have based these two off much written in their applications. Perhaps there was something there that Ana couldn’t see. She certainly hoped so, because she was loathe to hold another meeting after the four o’clock one in order to make up for this.

Seriously? Elijah Krum's personal lapdog called Nick in to discuss his "future spouse"? Nick found this to be somewhat of an unpleasnt piece of string in the fabric of his life. After all, Nick had two twin daughters, and already planned on being married to the mother of his children. Nick thought this law was obnoxious and stupid, oh well. He'd still be professional about it.

Now the meeting was at Hogwarts. Did that mean Nick's "future spouse" was still a student? Considering Nick was only one year out of Hogwarts, he may know who he was matched up with already.

Nick had arrived at Hogwarts at approximately 2:30 pm. He made it up to the third floor at around five minutes after. Walking into the room, he took a seat and waited for his "future wife" and avoiding small talk with the woman who would ruin everything he had with Sarah, and his children's lives.

This couldn't be happening.

Why did she have to be sixteen now? A little longer and she could have hopefully escaped being married off. For once she wished her birthday wasn't the day it was. She hated this. She hated that she was being sent off with someone who she probably didn't know. This was so stupid. Why does the Ministry even care who marries who? It doesn't affect them.

What Hitame cared about the most wasn't the fact that she was going to be married off. That was actually the least of her worries, even though she was scared out of her wits about it. What worried her more was the fact that she was going to have to have kids with this person. And within the next few years. She couldn't do that, she just couldn't. She didn't want to be a mom yet, she didn't want to have kids at her age or any age in the teen years. It scared her.

Hitame was rarely afraid of anything anymore, but this was something that she just couldn't help being scared about. When she received her letter, he stomach had dropped and she felt like she was going to be sick. She was tempted to skip the meeting and hide somewhere, but she knew that if she did that she would get in trouble and so would the man she was supposed to marry. She couldn't do that to whoever it was. It wasn't like her to run away from anything either, so she decided to suck it up and go.

The Gryffindor walked up to the Guidance Office and took a deep breath before entering the room. Her gaze immediately went to the man who sat in the chair and her eyes widened. "N-Nick?" she asked, stuttering. She looked at Mrs. Levski quickly before returning her gaze to Nick and hoped she was dreaming.

Siting in his chair, still annoyed with the whole situation, he heard the door open, then shut, and without looking behind him he knew who it was. He could tell it was Hitamé by the small, shy feminine voice that she carried. Nick knew a tad bit about Hitamé, as they had talked maybe once or twice, and she was a Gryffindor.

Now there were two emotions that Nick felt at that point in time. He was happy, and he was upset. He was happy to be married with someone nice like Hitamé, but at the same time he was upset for the fact that he would probably ruin her life. Nick could tell that she was younger just off her looks. He didn't know what he would do. His mind was racing at a million miles an hour it seemed and he didn't know how to feel about any of this.

Looking at Ana, and then back at Hitamé, he sighed. Nick truly did feel bad about this whole situation. ''It's okay, sit down. I'm scared too.'' He said softly to his future wife.

"I'm not scared.." she muttered softly, looking down at the floor slightly as she walked over to the seat next to Nick and she sank down into it. She didn't have time for this, really she didn't. She needed to leave, she had to keep looking for her sister. Or Alex, actually. He had to know where she was, and she needed to find him to find Naomi. He was going to help her whether he knew it or not.

"Is this going to take long?" she asked Mrs. Levski, leaning forward in her seat slightly to look at the woman, her eyes locked on her. She wanted this to be over soon so she could get back to something that was actually important - to her at least.

Naomi was one of the only people she had left in her life that she cared about more than anything, in her family at least, and she could just leave her behind. She couldn't wait for her to just appear someday because if that happened, Naomi would either be completely different or she would be dead and that was something Hitame could allow to happen.

She had to find a way to save her sister. She just had to.
