"It's okay, Frank." Olivia said gently, having heard him as they approached,"It's not that bad. The three of us have flown before." She sat with Frank and gently patted his back, hoping to help him feel a little easier about flying on a plane.

Julia nodded,"Right. " she said,"Plus it's a two-hour trip. It's not going to be too long of a flight." She looked outside, watching planes arrive and take off.

"The three of you travel have traveled while using muggle transportation?" Frank gaped in amazement. "Our families, Caelum's and mine, are still too deep rooted in wizard society that we never really needed to go out to muggle London. Is it ... is it as nice to live out there as they say it is?"

He was about to continue his barrage of questions when he heard the disembodied voice from the ceiling call for their gate number. "There it is! They've called our number. We might miss the plane!" He panicked even though there were currently standing in the boarding area right beside the gate.

(Crap...sorry again! I swear I'm here!)

Julia smiled,"Its okay. We are right where we need to be." She said to him gently, helping him through going on the plane and explaining everything to him as they prepared for take off.

Olivia patted his back gently,"It will all be okay." She said with a smile,"We are here if you start to worry. Okay?"

(( It's alright, haha ^^))

Frank was awestruck. He'd never flown that high before on a broom, nor did he think that it was possible to. Fly to the moon on a broom? Pfft. Impossible. But muggles have been there with a space rocket! The multitude of muggle inventions continue to amaze him as time goes by. Maybe one day, he can get his parents to buy a flat or a vacation home somewhere in muggle London... Or anywhere really like the Zabinis do and he can enjoy these muggle inventions as much as he could.

He thought that being launched into the clouds on a winged metallic cylinder was going to be a problem for him; and the initial departure did make him swallow deeply in anticipation, but the experience itself of being on a plane was an enjoyable one. He had actually been quite reluctant to leave the vessel, taking multiple 'last looks' of the plane as they walked into the arrivals section of the airport.

And just as promised, Aren was there by the doors, waiting for the group of four to arrive. He promptly ran towards the group and gave each of the girls a hug (and gave a really long bear hug to Amira) and clapped Frank's shoulder as a greeting. "Come on, into the car. I didn't go through the troubles of getting a driver's license just to take the bus in the end." He grinned as he helped his friends bring their luggage into his Jeep.

Aren chuckled as he watched his friend gawk at the four-wheel drive beauty. "Stare any longer and you'll see it shrinking into the distance. Get in, Frank. We've a long way to go. Three in the back, one beside me in front. Feel free to choose."

The girls hugged back (with Amira sneaking a kiss on his cheek) before followed Aren out to the Jeep. Julia giggled as she heard Aren's words and helped get everything packed up to go. She and Olivia climbed into the back seat, letting Frank and Amira decide who sat in front.

Amira smiled at Frank,"Would you like to sit up front? Being inside a Jeep would be cool for you to see since you've not seen much of the muggle world."

"Welcome to mia casa." Grinned Aren as they pulled into the property. It was a simple villa with only one floor and a stunning view of the sea below it. "Everybody out." He laughed when he saw Frank try to walk of the numbness in his behind and moved to get the bags out of the compartment.

He guided the four into the building and showed them their rooms before his mother appeared in the living room, waiting for them with a charming smile and a camera in hand. "Okay, one, two, three, say panini!" She giggled to herself when she looked at the photo and gave the teens a wink, telling them that she'd send a few copies later before excusing herself. "I'm sorry to leave so soon but my lovely husband is waiting for me. You four had a long trip and would need your energy for the wonderful trip ahead so lights out before eleven, okay?" She sent one last smile before disappearing through the front door.

"You guys heard her. Lights out in …" Aren checked the wall clock. "seven hours."

"Do you know when Caelum's coming?" Frank asked as he stretched his back. "He told me he'd bring snacks. He brings the best snacks."

"Of course he brings the best snacks. His mum bakes them."

"Exactly. So you know when he's coming?"

"Tomorrow. We've opened the Floo this morning though, just in case he felt like being early for once. But he's not here so probably tomorrow."

Olivia smiled as they settled in,"Wow its beautiful here." She said, sitting down next to Frank. When she heard him speak of Caelum she couldn't help but giggle,"Honestly I'm surprised he hasn't arrived yet." She said.

Amira nodded,"Yeah, we know he's probably excited to see a certain Ravenclaw again." She giggled, looking at Julia as she spoke.

Julia, who had sat in a comfy chair nearby, blushed a bit,"Oh like you two weren't excited to see Frank and Aren again." She shot back, causing both girls to blush.

The morning of the next day arrived with a cool breeze drifting in from the sea. The sliding doors were open and the thin curtains flew inwards creating a small dance of their own. Aren sat at the counter near the fireplace with Frank both sipping on a nice cup of tea, making small talk as they waited for the girls to rise and for Caelum to appear in a mass of green fire and smoke. They even had a camera ready to document the most-awaited for entrance.

"If he won't make it here by midday then we're leaving for the beach without him." Aren half-joked as he eyed the fireplace once more. "He'll just have to wait for us to get back. Maybe do some chores while he's here alone." He grinned at the end, a plan forming in his mind.

"Give him a break, Aren. You know how busy they can get. He'll arrive when he arrives."

"Yeah, but where's the Malfoy owl? He always sends that arrogant bird to announce what time he'd come or if there are any delays."

"Maybe they sent the owl somewhere else?"

"Good morning, boys," Julia said with a soft yawn, joining the guys at the counter. She had her long red hair brushed and up in a ponytail, wearing a cute tank top and some jeans. Her swimming suit, a pretty blue and bronze colored two-piece, was under them. "Caelum not here yet?" She asked, getting some ice water,"Amira is in the shower and Olivia is still asleep...she had a bad night."

Olivia had received a message just before bed that her grandfather was in St. Mungo's and the prognosis for him hadn't looked too good.

Julia explained this to the guys and shook her head,"She still plans to go with us to rhr beach... Just be aware if she seems a little out of it, that is probably why."

Aren shook his head to answer Julia's question. "He's not here yet and it looks like he has no plans to tell us when he'll arrive." Frank nodded his head to affirm his friend's statement before frowning at what Julia had to say next. "I can stay with her here if she'd want to rest instead."

"Or we could all just stay here and order some food while we watch a movie."

"A moo-vee sounds great! Yeah, we could do that instead." Frank excitedly looked to Julia.
