Chapter 9

“You’re going over to her house to do what?” Rachel’s voice came from the speakers in Coleen’s Mercedes, filling the interior of the car.

“I’m spending the day there.” Following the GPS’s instructions, Coleen drove into a middle class neighborhood in the North Central area of San Antonio. “Evidently I’ve missed an entire cultural phenomenon called Harry Potter.” The car went silent. “Rachel?”

“I’m here. I just don’t know what to do with this information.” Rachel’s tone was hesitant. “Have you hunted lately?”

Coleen thought the question odd. “Why do you ask?”

“Well, an entire day in a house with two humans.” Rachel spoke slowly. “I don’t want you to end up on the evening news.”

Coleen chuckled. “You’re so young. You forget that at my age the hunger hardly exists at all. It’s nature’s way of rewarding us if we live this long.”

“Just be careful.”

“I don’t know what you imagine is going to happen. I’m going to suffer through what I can only assume is a terrible rendering of the supernatural world, score a few points with Isla, and go home.” Coleen pulled up in front of a two story, gray brick house. “I have to go.”

Coleen disconnected the call before Rachel could remind her, yet again, not to murder Isla and Julian. Glancing at the clock on her dashboard, Coleen took a deep breath. It was ten in the morning, and according to Isla, they would be entrenched in Harry Potter for at least the next ten hours.

Coleen had brought the perfunctory flowers and bottle of wine, and as she walked up to the front door with her offerings in hand, was amazed to find she was looking forward to her day.

“Coleen!” Julian answered the door, and if not for the flowers and wine in Coleen’s hands, the boy looked as if he might fling himself at her.

“Julian, it’s very nice to see you again.” Glancing up, Coleen saw Isla standing behind Julian with a smile on her face as she looked at her enthused brother.

“I brought this for you.” Coleen smirked as she handed Julian the bottle of wine. “And these are for you.” She smiled as she handed Isla a bouquet of Casablanca Lilies.

Julian looked closely at the red wine. “Cab burnt saving non?”

Coleen let out an exaggerated gasp. “Oh, my mistake.” She took the bottle from Julian, and handed it to Isla. “This is for you.” Reaching into her handbag, Coleen retrieved a small, wooden box. “That means this is for you.”

Julian’s grin lit up his face as he took the box from Coleen. “Can I open it now?”

Isla put her hands on the boy’s shoulders, and moved him to the side so Coleen could come in. “I’m sure that’s the point, Jules.”

Coleen walked into the house, and quickly patted the boy on the shoulder. “I would be hurt if you didn’t open it right away.”

Isla had barely got the door closed before Julian had the wooden box open, and was removing the red tissue paper that encased the object inside the box.
