Chapter 104 – On The Road (2)
Reaching the next country was easier than I expected. We got through the border quickly by flying, and after two days of travel, we finally stopped to rest.
"We should be good; I charmed the receptionist and placed down some wards. If someone comes in who isn't a muggle, we will be notified!"
"Thanks! I went ahead and brought up some food!" I answered her, watching her close the door to our little room in a tiny hotel and take off her jacket.
"Are those sausages? They did look good!"
"Hehe, I waited for you so we can try it together. It will be good to finally sleep in bed and not on a bus or train!"
"And to take a proper bath!" She moaned loudly, sitting beside me as we began munching on our dinner, watching a box that the muggles called a television. Even without understanding the language, it was... fascinating.
We were already close to the border between Germany and Switzerland; tomorrow, we had to catch the last bus that would take us over, hopefully without any problems. Still, we had already prepared spells and practiced them on muggles we came across. It mainly was to control them, so they ignored our presence.
"I still think," She began speaking after the second sausage, "that after we pass into Switzerland, we should ditch the bus and go on brooms. There is a high possibility that we are leaving a trail by using magic."
"I agree. After we get to the city, we will need to interact with the local wizarding community, so we will need to be extra cautious."
"We practiced it; it will be fine!" She winked at me, leaning over and cleaning my face with a warm smile, "If anyone asks, we will say we are exchange students from Australia and stay in the city for only a few days while traveling through Europe. Easy!"
"After we get what is inside the Gringotts, we should head here..." I murmured, taking out the map and unfolding it until finding the point I marked. "It is far away from everything and in the mountains."
