Marley and Miriam got settled into their separate huts that were across from each other. The encounter with Charlie left Miriam in shock. Charlie felt the same. The only reason they broke up was because the long distance would be too hard over the borders.

"Merlin, non posso credere che stia accadendo proprio ora!" Miriam exclaimed to herself as she angrily threw her clothes into the drawers of her bedroom with her wand.

I can't believe this is happening right now!

She tended to speak Italian when she was frustrated or angry.

"I cannot believe Charlie è qui! Sono così stupida! Stupid Miriam! You knew he wanted to come to Romania!"

Charlie is here! I am so stupid!

"You know what? It's fine. It's fine. Charlie most likely has a girlfriend here all ready. It's okay. Just worry about Neel, Miriam," she told herself.

She put the rest of her clothes into her drawers and threw her wand onto the bed. She put her hands onto her hips and looked around the bedroom.

"Incredibly plain. I'm disappointed. Some more womanly touches, and this hut will be just like home."

She picked up her wand and started opening boxes and setting decorations around the house. Then, she moved into the kitchen and checked all the cabinets.

"They weren't kidding when they said the huts would be empty," she muttered.

There wasn't even one utensil or a glass.

"I guess I'll have to go shopping. Perhaps, I'll go to Hogsmeade after Neel's taken care of."

Miriam loved shopping. It didn't matter for what. She once bought Marley a tea set with beautifully carved moving pictures on it. He started using them immediately.

But before she could go to Hogsmeade, she would need to face Charlie.
