[size=1]I got up off the bed and went over to the phone, sitting beside Ella once again.

"Well, my dear Ella, that's about to change. Consider yourself about to be fully submerged in the world of muggledom."

I laughed I picked up the phone and it immediately went to the front desk. An italian man answered.

I said in Italian: "Yes, can you bring my Lotus around front please, and would you be kind enough to put a Dr.Pepper in the coaster inside?"

He complied and I thanked him for his efforts.

I looked back at Ella, grinned and almost laughed. This is going to be outrageously funny. I offered her my hand and smiled:

"Come on girl, let's go. We have an appointment."[/size]

[size=1]Ella took his hand and stood up, though asking, "An appointment? For what? 'Cause I get the feeling it's something I should be extremely unsure of."[/size]

[size=1]"Well the only thing you have to really be worried about is the elevator, cause that's where we are heading."

I walked with her hand and hand to the front of the elevator, or rather my front door and nudged her inside, me stepping behind her.

"Now, let me just say," as I pressed the button 1 and it lit up, "there is nothing for you to be afraid of. All you have to do is just follow what I say, and you won't be lost in this world. Trust me, it's easy to get lost, but I'm here with you and you'll be just fine."

The doors opened to the ground floor as we made our way to the front door.[/size]

[size=1]The entire elevator ride she had kept to the wall, though away from the buttons that lit up. She knew of the lifts at the ministry, but that was different. Those went sideways and all sorts of directions, even though she hadn't been in one. This was just up or down and entirely scary at some points. When the doors opened, she gladly stepped out. "Well I'm trusting you on this then," Ella told him. [/size]

[size=1]I saw how tense she was during the elevator ride, but something tells me her in the passenger seat of a Lotus was probably going to freak her out more. She probably wouldn't even recognize it as a car. I laughed, slightly scarily, but more of a suprised laugh at everything that she didn't recognize.

The door attendants held the door open for me and Ella as we walked out. There she was, my Lotus, bright yellow. It was convertible, not that she would know what that meant, but she will. The Lotus was the only automatic car I had which was what I wanted during this trip as Ella would not even begin to know the difference.

"Ok, so here's the thing, this is my car and you are going to ride in it with me."

I opened the passenger door for her.[/size]

[size=1]"This is so not a broom," Ella muttered. "It looks more like a giant bumblebee." Pointing at him accusingly she said, "My life is totally in your hands, you know that right?" Though she did manage a smile and got in the car, which was scary all on its own; Merlin only knew what half of the crap in it was, and for now she was definatly not touching anything.[/size]

[size=1]Ella was so stiff when I closed the door. It was almost hysterical. She had no idea how fast this bumblebee could go, but I wasn't going to try to scare her, probably 10 miles per hour would make her flip out.

I made my way to the driver's side door and opened it, climbing inside, I saw Ella looks slightly tense as I shut the door.

"You are right, this isn't a broom. But it's transportation nonetheless. We can't exactly be cooped up in the castle all the time. It's too elaborate for me, it's just a spot I sleep. You have to see the other sights, not just some sunset, right?"

I looked in the coaster in the middle of the seats and found a canned Dr.Pepper. I grinned as I picked it up.

"Now this here, this is a drink."

I shook it side to side and handed it to her, "Go ahead and open it, tell me what you think."[/size]

[size=1]"You could seriously turn claustophobic in this thing," Ella noted as she then took the drink from Blaine. She gave him a skeptical look before she opened it, which wasn't the best of ideas. Ella gave a squeak of surpirse when she was unfortunately sprayed with some of it, but thankfully she didn't actually let go it as first came to mind.

Well while she could get back at him, she would, and turned it on him. Ella figured he didn't get hit with it as badly as she did, but it was enough for her to feel like she had gotten back at him. "That was uncalled for! A little forewarning would have been lovely thank you. I don't think I've had any drink try and explode at me." Ella then laughed and shook her head. "You're just trying to embarass me." [/size]

[size=1]The drink sprayed in my face a little bit, but not compared to what Ella got from it, and I started laughing harder and harder the more I thought about it. She was so foreign in this world, it was awesome to be with her as she was here learning so much. It felt like a start of something brand new to her and possibly she wouldn't be so afraid of it.

I took the drink from her hand and opened it the rest of the way and took a sip and handed it back to her.

I cranked the car up and it made a low purring sound. The dash lights came on as I looked over at Ella, "I understand about the claustrophobia, so I'll do you a favor." I hit the switch to let the roof down in the car and lowered the windows on both sides. The stars were over head, shining bright on this particular night.

"Alright, so are you ready?" [/size]

[size=1]The windows going down and the top? Yup, she would have again perfered some warning, though simply gave him a look that said so before nodding. "As ready as I'm ever gonna be. And like I said, completely trusting you with this," she told him, and stuck the pop back where Blaine had gotten it from; currently thinking she had for sure dealt with that enough for the moment.[/size]

[size=1]"Ok, well just sit back and we'll be at our appointment soon enough."

I leaned over at her and kissed her on the lips. When leaning back, I put it in drive and drove towards the exit of the hotel and stopped to check the streets and then looked over at Ella to see her expression. This was so laughable right now, but she is being such a good sport I wasn't going to ruin it or her mood.

"The things you do for someone you like, funny how that works right?"[/size]

[size=1]"It's not that bad actually. Or not yet," Ella told him, a bit more relaxed then when she first got in the car, and at the moment settled with looking out the window.[/size]

[size=1]"Well that's good, because from here is the highway and we have to get on it to get to where we need to be, so I hope you are adjusting to it faster than I thought."

I looked over at her and grinned before I pulled out onto the road, where I slowly accelerated to 15, 20, 25, 30 miles per hour.

"It's not bad once you get used to it. It scared me at first, I'm not going to lie, but it feels good knowing it's just you and the road. There is nothing else that you need."[/size]

[size=1]"Well, it's like a broom only not in the air, and it has wheels and stuff," Ella told him as she looked at him and smiled. "Plus I trust you to not get us killed." She shrugged her shoulders.[/size]

[size=1]I kept on the road as I slowly saw the merge lane for the Italian highway. Speed limit here was 90 miles per hour, of course, differently on metric system, but I had it figured out.

"Alright, well hold on then."

I accelerated from 30 to 90 as we went onto the highway, the roar of the engine came to a low whistle as I heard the engine turn 3 times to signify I was in the bottom of 5th gear. We merged into traffic, it was not so crowded, but it was close to other cars.

"So this isn't exactly what you thought about for Italy, huh?"[/size]

[size=1]"Not really," Ella said, and then laughed slightly. "Heck I didn't even expect Italy. But it's nice to get away from home."[/size]

[size=1]"Exactly the point Ella. I know you've been submitted to the same things day in and day out, so I wanted to do you a favor and let you see another world. It's not exactly a world I favor at times, but it's still a refuge, just like my other home. Sometimes you just need to breathe some different air, take some time for yourself and just live. We've talked about it before at one point."

I smiled as I looked over for a second and looked back at the road. She sparkled at night, and her hair flowed in the wind gracefully, it was almost slow motion it seemed. I was grateful for her to be able to come.

"We are almost there, it won't be long from now."[/size]

[size=1]Ella nodded. "Mhm. Plus I like it here better. Like you said, you just live and not stress about everything going on elsewhere."[/size]

[size=1]I pulled off the next exit as I smiled listening to Ella's words. She is already understanding the purpose of a muggle world, whether it's to live here every time and again or not. It's a getaway for those associated with Hogwarts. There is beauty here, it's undeniable to any pureblood. Open eyes bring an open mind.

I pulled into an open parking lot with alot of space, no cars at all considering the hours are different in Italy. I put the car in park and looked over at Ella.

"Alright girl, we are here."[/size]

[size=1]"And what are we here for?" Ella asked him as she looked at him, and then out the window again.[/size]
