26- Ice cream and Kindred Spirits
It matters not what someone is born but what they grow to be.
~Professor Dumbledore, The goblet of fire.••
Noor dragged her feet, her gait ridiculously slow as she headed towards her Jaddah's suite. As much as she wanted to have alone time with her Jaddah, she dreaded what she wanted to talk to her about this late in the evening.
When she made it to a set of doors that led to her Jaddah's suite, Doha appeared out of nowhere to direct her towards the back of the rooms, where her Jaddah was already seated inside a tent, overlooking a pool.
With the sun so hot,

If I Take a Chance 27- Rights of a heart
It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies. But just as much to stand up to your friends.~Albus Dumbledore, The sorcerer's stone.••Nadia was bone tired and weary of their dance. It had worn her out and now, she was just done. From the balcony of their living room, she could hear her father rage and rant to their grandparents for her decision to call off another engagement while Khaleed stood like a stone, flinching at the vitriol her father spoke with as if every word was a lashing to his skin. She nearly scoffed at his reaction when all that was happening was his fault to begin with.

Oh dear, we are in trouble.~Argus Filch, The chamber of secrets.••Marwan sighed as he slowed his car in front of their gate, leaning his head on the steering wheel. It was one of those days–the work until you're about to drop dead kinda day. Between meetings with the board, helping women seek for their rights, and taking on new cases, Marwan was sure he was about to explode. It was a wonder that he hadn't taken adderall to help him focus. And the fact that he had a meeting with Al'amir Belko this evening, didn't help matters. It worried him that the man has requested a meeting after office hours, specifically requesting that Marwan was the one he met with. What was it about?Also, how could he look
If I Take a Chance 29- Of blood and water (II)
When you have seen as much of life as I have, you will not underestimate the power of obsessive love. ~Albus Dumbledore, The half-blood prince.••Noor sat besides her father, watching the gentle rise and fall of his chest, the steady beeping of the monitors, a background noise that seemed to dull the white noise within her head. She hadn't moved from her position, ever since she had been brought to the hospital, afraid that if she moved or blinked, he would stop breathing. And so, there she sat, sentry besides his hospital bed, hoping that the angel of death wouldn't come for him now. They still had a lot to do, words to say and a lot of patching up to do. They hadn't been father and daughter for a long time and now, all she wanted, all she
If I Take a Chance 30- Nightmarish dreamscape
Let him sleep. For in dreams, we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let them swim in the deepest oceam or glide over the highest cloud.~Albus Dumbledore, The prizoner of azkaban.••Doors, so many doors on an endless hallway that seemed to stretch as far as the eyes could see. The hallway was stark white, as were the doors. He had no idea which to open and so, going on pure instinct, he opened the third door by his left, stepping into a nightmare–his past. Hair the color of midnight disappeared into the trees, her laughter sending shivers of delight through his body. He loved the games they played. After all, with the ar

While we may come from different places and speak in different tongues, our heart beats as one. ~Albus Dumbledore, The goblet of fire.••Al'amir Belko had flatlined thrice and each time, Noor had been sure the angel of death had come for her Baba only for him to return back to the living. But there hadn't been much improvement, he was still the same. Still as dead to the world as he was four days ago–only the steady beat of the monitors proved otherwise.Every second that passed without him waking up, a shred of hope left her body. She watched by the minute as he lost weight in his sleep, his body so pale he could give Jasper a run for hi

The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure. Thoughts are not etched on the inside of skulls, to be perused by an invader. The mind is a complex and many-layered thing.Severus Snape, Order of the phoenix.••Muslim's gaze raked over his family, his heart filling up with so much warmth, words couldn't describe it.He had missed them, missed sitting on the table and eating food with them. His eyes found their father's and the warmth he was feeling dissipitated but he forced a smile on his face, as their mother placed a plate of tuwon shinkafa in front of him."So," he rubbed his hands together, avoiding Mardiya who had her chin rested on her palms, staring at him with curiosity.He knew w
If I Take a Chance 33- Epiphany
Happiness can be found in the darkest of times. If only one remembers to turn on the lights. Albus Dumbledore, Prisoner of azakaban.••Noor stilled, her hands fisted to her sides as she heard the rustle of leaves behind her. She knew who it was, after all, Marwan had texted to tell her to expect him. She had no idea what to do, what to say or how to act. All the times they had met, she had never been anything short of confident but now, after everything that had happened, she was anything but. Did he hate her for coming between him and his brother? Did he think less of her for

I wish he was mine, he is really divine.~Ginny Weasley, The chamber of secrets.••Marwan wasn't sure what had prompted him to come back here, at the place where he had first met her. It would only lead to more heartache he knew that but still, he hadn't moved a muscle. Perhaps, this was his last hurrah for a love that could never be. He didn't have a place to be or work to finish–even though he did–but the thought of leaving made his heart constrict with so much pain, he wanted to keel over and faint. It felt like he was drowning with no chance of making it to shore. Whenever he floated back, it felt like his head was shoved back i
