I shivered when I felt a cool breeze across my neck, knowing Fred was trying to be funny by blowing air on me whilst under the invisibility cloak.

"Hilarious," I said slowly, taking the straw from the glass of water into my mouth.

"Aw boo how did you know it was me," he lightly chuckled and I felt his hand on my waist.

"You act as if I don't know the smell of your spearmint gum by now," I smirked and kept my eyes trained ahead of me.

"So you recognize everything about me huh?" He said in a taunting voice as he moved closer. I could feel his breath hover over me as my hair slowly moved from my shoulder to my back.

"This?" He pressed a light kiss under my ear, and involuntarily moved it to the side more. But a flash of the neon lights made me focus on the plan.

"No I don't recognize that because you're not you," I reminded him and he pulled back from my neck.

"Ew you're right."

Before he could make another comment, the bartender walked over to where I was seated.

"Everything okay with you sugar?" Linda asked me with a warm smile, "can I get you anything else to drink?"

"No I'm alright," I held my glass of water up to her, "thank you though."

She hesitated before walking away and spoke once more, "I saw you got to meet Skender. Was he everything you imagined?"

"Yeah, the red beard really was the cherry on top," I attempted to joke but could see she was suspicious of me.

"I couldn't help but overhear you saying that you were trying to watch his show? But I thought you and your fiancé didn't know who he was before today?"

"We knew of him just not his name," I lied quickly, "and my fiancé is just outside making a couple of work calls if you were wondering where he was." My statement clearly did not reassure her.

She nodded her head and then leaned to whisper to me, "if I were you I would be careful around him baby. With your guy you'll be fine, but alone he could pose as a threat."

"A threat?" I questioned, "what do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is that I've seen that walking stick of his do some weird things. Just be careful is what I'm saying."

With that Linda walked away and left me sitting there with Fred tightly holding my shoulder.

Did she know he was a wizard?

Was that a warning?

"Did you hear that?" He whispered, "what kind of lad is he?"

"No idea. But now we know we have to be even more on guard."

I could feel Fred loosen his grip on me under the cloak and back away slowly, but before I could ask what he was doing someone else approached me.

"Miss Charlotte?" A man in shades and a dark suit asked beside me. At first I was about to answer no, but then I remembered that was the name I had given Skender.

"Yes that's me," I stood up from the barstool, "can I help you with something?"

"Skender has asked that I escort you to private room #12 Miss," the man stated with a voice void of emotion, as he extended his arm to clear the path for me. I took in a deep breath and tried to smile along with him, hoping Fred would follow behind.
