As they started to walk towards the motorway, Ellie frowned along with her friend. She wanted to be in a building and to get the heck out of france. "Well," she said, shrugging. "You could always pee in a bush." She didn't hold it past Erinn. Keeping alongside the highway, they watched all of the cars go by, even watching a creepy old French man try to pick them up, even though he spoke no English. "So we should be nearing some sort of city, since it's been too long since the last one, so that-" she stopped, seeing it. A blue sign with a little plane on it, the universal sign for airport. "Erinn! Look, at the the sign! We're almost there!"

Sadly, Erinn was actually quite considering Ellie's suggestion that she could pee in a bush. It didn't sound like a bad thing, exactly, even if it would be kind of weird. However, there weren't too many bushes to speak of there on the highway, so Erinn glumly kept trudging forward as the cars flew past them. Erinn certainly hoped that her friend was right and that they would somehow manage to find a city or something soon enough, though she wasn't all that hopeful. There were signs and things everywhere, but Erinn didn't know left from right at this point. Fortunately, however, Ellie was slightly more intelligent and her excited statement that they were close renewed Erinn's hope. "Well, what are you waiting for? Come on, then!" Erinn nodded, tugging at Ellie's arm excitedly as they headed off towards the direction the sign was pointing. At that point, Erinn could see planes taking off in the distance, alerting them to the presence of a nearby airport. They were definitely winning the game.

Seeing the planes was extremely reassuring to Ellie. It meant they were finally going to get out of France and be able to go somewhere else. Where they were going to go was a mystery, but preferably somewhere that spoke English. "Okay, so the signs are saying the next exit, so we should be getting close," Ellie said with a reassured nod. They kept walking, and soon started walking off the motorway. As they reached the main road off of the exit, they stopped, looking for signs. Luckily, there was a sign about one hundred feet down pointing them towards the airport. "Ugh," Ellie sighed, frowning, "now I have to pee, too."

Following Ellie with a grim expression, Erinn was more than ready to just get where they were going. Fortunately, it was just down the road from where they were and it didn't take all too long before they were finally outside the doors of the airport. The two of them got quite a few weird looks as they walked in, since they had no luggage and looked like they had been walking for miles. Which, they had. "That took a long time, Ell. Next time, we just get hit by the car and make the ambulance take us here," she suggested with a serious nod. Looking around, Erinn figured that they probably should find somewhere or other to get tickets and just escape with the flag for awhile. However, before she had a chance to go anywhere, she spotted something that quite ruined their plans. "Shit...Felix."

Walking into the airport, Ellie had felt the most relieved she had in a long time. They were okay, and they were able to leave, instead of dying in France like Ellie had feared. "That it did, Err," she said, sighing. "Uh, no, that might not be the best option. They'd definitely take us to the hospital, and do you really wanna deal with doctors who don't speak English? Because I certainly don't." Even though she knew they should be getting on a plane, Ellie just really wanted to nap. They had walked for so long, she was tired and hungry. A cheeseburger sounded lovely. Cheeseburger, then nap, Ellie thought. At Erinn's words, her eyes grew. "You're kidding," Ellie said, looking up to where Erinn was looking. There he was, in the flesh, her big brother. "What the hell?!"

As soon as the flags had been given out and Ellie was named the Gryffindor carrier, Felix had been determined to find her. The last thing he wanted was for Ellie to get hurt trying to win one for the house. However, she was no where to be found in the castle. Unfortunately for Felix, neither was Erinn. Whenever Erinn was involved with something, it was bound to be a mistake. So, Felix made haste to find out where they went, assuming they were probably in mortal danger at that point. After a bit of investigating, he found that somehow they had landed themselves in France. With help from one of his mates, they apparated him to the closest location they could to where Ellie and Erinn had landed themselves, which ended up being a rather strange town in France. Hoping his gut feeling was right, Felix staked out at the airport, knowing the girl's strange obsession with airports, and waited. Fortunately, it didn't take too long and he spotted the two girls walking in not too long after. With a scowl on his face, he walked over to them, stopping with his hands folded a bit away. "What in the hell were you two thinking? France? What the hell did you come to France for?" he questioned, the angry look on his face not leaving for an instant. "We're going home."

The excitement over their success faded quickly when Erinn spotted Felix charging towards them and looking rather like an angry rhino. Erinn was about ready to bolt with Ellie, but Felix was there before she could make any escape plans off the top of her head. "We got lost Felix and we'd really love to talk and it's nice to see you here in France, but we really have to pee," Erinn explained, nodding seriously. They really did have to pee, so that wasn't a lie, but the women's bathroom was one place that Felix couldn't come and they could definitely find a way to get out of there. "You can't come," she pointed out, noticing the determined look on Felix's face. This was pretty much their only chance to get away and Erinn wasn't going to waste it.

Realizing her eyes were about to bulge out of her head, Ellie blinked, her mouth still open. She resisted the urge to turn around and run, seeing as she couldn't leave Erinn alone with angry Felix. She swallowed, then opened her mouth to talk, but before she could say anything, Erinn pipped in, and Ellie nodded along with her, and grabbed her friend's arm to drag her to the bathroom. As soon as they got into the ladies' room, Ellie spoke. "I'm really, really, really, really confused," she said, leaning against the counter and crossing her arms. "How did Felix know we were in France when we didn't even know we were in France?!" Her first thought was some form of tracking spell, which, although it slightly creeped her out, didn't surprise her in the least.

When Erinn basically blew him off and told him that he couldn't follow him, a rather irritated look appeared on his face. Well, more irritated than it already was, anyway. "You two aren't going anywhere else without my permission," he commented, following them right up to the door of the women's bathroom. Felix knew that they were up to something, he could just feel it. After all, it was Erinn and Ellie and there was never a time where they weren't up to something devious and more than likely stupid. Actually, with Erinn involved, it was definitely going to be stupid. However, since there was no way he could really go into the women's restroom, Felix was stuck glowering at the door until the two girls came out. He couldn't follow them in, but he could most definitely sit there until he could put leashes on them or something.

Noting Felix's comment with nothing more than a roll of her eyes, Erinn followed along with Ellie until they were safely out of Felix's grasp and into the bathroom. "Hang on, I actually do have to pee," Erinn commented, holding up a finger before heading into one of the stalls for a moment. Coming back out a bit later, she headed to the sink and started washing her hands. "Felix is just scary, that's all. I wouldn't be surprised if he had little cameras in your eyes or something taking constant pictures of where you are, just so he knows," she suggested, only somewhat kidding. To be honest, she wouldn't have put something like that past him. "Okay, we need to get on a plane. The first plane that we can find, I'd say. We can put on some sort of invisibility spell and just like walk on and take a seat, right?' Erinn thought it was a fairly solid plan, overall. Plus, getting on a plane sounded like fun.

Realizing that her brother was probably brooding outside the bathroom door, Ellie sighed. "I don't know," she said, frowning. "You know nothing gets passed him. The kid knows everything. And besides, as much of a creepy weirdo as he is, I'm not gonna leave him in France waiting for us forever, he's still my brother." Ellie knew she was never getting out of her brother's sight until she turned forty, and in the back of her mind, she figured she should've known he would go looking for them. Especially since she was with Erinn. Felix was always there to stop things when one of her and Erinn's schemes went completely out of hand. Which was often. "Okay, here's what we'll do. We'll go out there, talk to him, and if he tries to kill us or put trackers in our brains, run." She knew they could out run him, since they were so much smaller. Although, if he did catch th, he would have no problem carrying them both home, which wouldn't surprise her in the least.

Ellie had a good point. The odds of them making it two steps out of the bathroom without Felix putting a leash on them and carrying them home were slim to none. "Yeah, good point. He's probably guarding the door right now to make sure no one else comes in or something crazy," Erinn replied with a frown. This wasn't quite going how she had planned, not in the least. Scratching irritably at the back of her head, Erinn looked over to Ellie with the hopes that the other girl had some sort of plan as to how to deal with Felix. Erinn could always come up with ways of how to annoy the boy, but when it came to putting forth some charm, Ellie was the only possible option. She was the puppy, after all. Erinn was more like...the platypus. "Okay, that works. You just need to like, open your eyes really big...and cry. He'll eat it up," Erinn agreed, standing there puzzled for a moment. Out of nowhere, she stepped a bit closer to Ellie, balled up her hand and sent a punch flying at Ellie's face. Obviously, she needed some help to cry. "That should do the trick," she nodded, more or less bolting out of the restroom as fast as her tiny human legs would let her. In her haste to escape from Ellie, Erinn ran smack into Felix, tumbling over onto the ground and hitting her head against the wall. Oh, Erinn.

As Erinn spoke, Ellie nodded. She knew Felix was pissed, and they had to find a way to make sure Felix wouldn't either kill them or drag them home by their hair. "That works, Felix can't say no to me when I do the puppy dog face," she said, nodding. As Erinn moved a bit closer, Ellie's eyebrow creased. When Erinn hit her, Ellie gasped, grabbing at her face. "Erinn!" she cried, watching the other girl run out of the bathroom. She walked out following her, her eyes stinging from getting hit, and were starting to water. Ellie looked from her brother, who was standing outside, then following his gaze to Erinn, who was on the floor. Ellie sniffed, grabbing and hugging her brother. "Felix, we were lost, and I was scared, I didn't think I was gonna see you again!" Ellie sniffled again, hugging him tighter, and winking at Erinn, whom Ellie realized she should probably have helped off the floor.

The longer that the two girls took in the bathroom, the more irritated Felix became. He wanted them out now so that they could go home and forget about running around France like a bunch of crazies. Since, obviously, that was precisely what Erinn and Ellie were. He was about ready to barge in there to retrieve the two before the door burst open and Erinn tumbled into him, falling down to the ground, followed by Ellie. The girl's eyes were watering and she instantly pulled him into a hug, which Felix returned with a protective hold. He probably should have been suspicious, or something, but he couldn't when Ellie was crying. "Don't worry, it'll be okay Elle. Just, come on, let's go get on a plane back home and it'll be okay," Felix assured her, using the calming voice that was usually only reserved for moments where Ellie was crying and sad. Looking over at Erinn, Felix let out a slight sigh and moved over, taking her arm and pulling her back up onto her feet. "You two, Rinn," he demanded, now holding each girl by the arm as he started to walk with them towards the flight desk.

Down on the ground, Erinn rubbed at her head for a moment before her attention flashed up to see Ellie streaking out of the bathroom behind her. There were tears in her eyes - success - and she was holding onto Felix. This was precisely how they would get away with whatever they wanted to do, Erinn knew it. She gave Ellie a small thumbs up before Felix turned towards her. Giving him a sad look of her own, she let Felix drag her up off the ground and start walking them over towards the flight desk. "Felix...Felix don't you think it would be best if we went someplace else, though?" Erinn asked, pouting slightly as they came to the line of the ticket window. She didn't know how any of this worked, but they couldn't very well buy tickets. They just needed to sneak onto a plane. That was all.
