Theme #9: Disapparate
The Speed of Light


CRACKKK.

Gold clutched at the nearest piece of furniture as a tall, messy-haired boy with brilliant, blue eyes apparated into the living room.

"Don't do that!" she frowned as she straightened up, shook her head, and perched herself on top of a table. "I know you can't believe you passed your apparition test but -"

"You didn't touch a nerve," he grinned.

Gold rolled her eyes, ignored Lavonne Darren's elder brother, and turned her attention to a magazine on the table. It was kind of pink, with a pretty girl on the cover, and Zeeshan sniggered loudly.

"What?" she asked, not looking up, but turning over a leaf. She wasn't actually reading the contents - she had read them at least twice, before. Was actually rather fed up of them, and could not wait for a new issue.

"Don't read it," he said casually.

Gold raised an eyebrow. "Why?" The moment she asked the W-question, she knew it was a mistake.

"Because you can't look like her -" he pointed at the girl on the cover - "Even if you try."

"SHANI!"

She grabbed the nearest heavy book - he disapparated at the speed of light.
