[ WP ] Turning your girlfriend into a pumpkin was the last straw . Your wizard house-guest has DEFINITELY overstayed his welcome .

`` Damn you uncle Jenkins. Damn you, you stupid, retarded, good for nothing trickster'', I mutter as I climb the stairs up to the guest room. 
 
 The old fool had locked the door and shut himself in. `` Open this door!'' I shout as I furiously bang on the door. Its been almost a minute and there's no answer. Oh what was that damned wizard up to. I hope he has n't stuck his tongue to the roof of his mouth again. Though I would prefer not to hear his whiny voice anymore, I need some answers. 
 
 I continue banging on his door while yelling at the top of my voice. I chide myself for thinking it as'his' door. It was the door to the guest bedroom of our house which has been occupied by my uncle Jenkins since last fall after he was kicked out by his employer. 
 
 Uncle Jenkins had been trying his luck at becoming a wizard for half his life and last year someway he had managed to score a job as a mage in the household of a knight who was down on his luck. But in two months he had demonstrated enough of his incompetence to get kicked out. And if my experience with him for the last six month is any indication, the knight probably suffered huge loss. After that he came here to stay for a week or so but after six months he is still here. 
 
 Something is really wrong. I've been banging at the door for almost five minutes now and there has been no answer. Elina is in that state downstairs and the only person who can explain it is not answering. The door behind me slams with a thud and I jump startled. `` Hey Richard, `` he says calmly as he taps the door with his wand. The door creaks open and he saunters inside. His manner fans my rage so much that I am not getting a single word out. I quickly put my foot in the door as he is closing it. He then questioningly looks in my face. 
 
 `` What the hell have you done to Elina?'' I shout at him. 
 
 `` Why do n't you like it?,'' he replies. `` She was getting too skinny.'' 
 
 `` What in the hell do you mean by that?,'' I scream. `` You have turned my girlfriend into a pumpkin!'' 
 
 `` Oh, is she still a pumpkin?'' he says matter-of-factly. `` Hmmm I thought she would have reverted back but just a little chubby.'' 
 
 I just can not believe it. `` How the fuck can you be so calm?'' I hiss at him. `` She has been a pumpkin for five hours now and you talk as if nothing is wrong.'' 
 
 `` Well she will turn back just as she was.'' he says a little defensively. `` Just wait a couple of hours at most and she will be back with a little more meat. Did n't you always like the curvy ones better?'' 
 
 How can a man be so infuriating. I am about to shout at him again when the bell rang. Oh no, it must be Elina's parents. They were coming for dinner today and I had completely forgetten about it. 
 
 I hold Jenkins by his collar and drag him downstairs. I ask Cara the maid to open the door and show the Whites in. I carry Elina under my left arm and go into the kitchen with Jenkins in tow. 
 
 `` Turn her back now. Or by god I will kill you.'' I angrily whisper. 
 
 `` I can do that but she will be just as skinny if I transform her back now.'' He says with infuriating calm tone. 
 
 I want to scream at the old fool and tear his skin off. There is low murmur outside. 
 
 `` Turn her back now.'' I say with murderous intensity in my voice. 
 
 I slam the door and go to the Whites. `` Hello Mr. White.'' I say trying to seem calm. `` Hi Jane you look gorgeous''. I say to the old hag as I hug her. I absolutely despise her and in turn she does n't approve of me either. 
 
 `` You seem tense Richard.'' Jane replies as a greeting. `` Where is Elina?'' 
 
 `` It must be the heat.'' I say with a forced smile. `` She's in the kitchen.'' 
 
 `` I will see what she's doing then'' she says moving toward the kitchen. 
 
 `` Oh no you ca n't.'' I block her way. `` She is preparing something special and it's a surprise'' I add hastily. `` I will see how its coming along. Do you guys want a drink?'' I ask politely 
 
 `` No thanks'' replies Mr. White with a smile. He always seemed cheerful while his wife was always frowning. `` Bring me a cup of tea.'' Jane says as she seats in the sofa. 
 
 I hurry into the kitchen and shut the door behind me. Jenkins taps the pumpkin which is in the middle of a circle with some weird symbols drawn with flour. Then the pumpkin turns into Elina with a flash. She seemed dazed but otherwise seemed okay. I sat her down in the chair and then dragged Jenkins and pushed him out through the back door. 
 
 `` Never come back here ever again.'' I say to him with as much force and rage as I could put behind the words. `` If I see you ever again. I will report you to the high guild. So you better go away without a word and stay out of my sight''. Now, he seemed dazed and shocked. He must have sensed I meant what I said. He quietly left going around the house. 
 
 Elina seems to be well now. I hand her the cup and follow her outside. 
 
 `` What have you done to your hair?'' Jane says looking disgusted. `` It looks like a pumpkin.'' 
 
 I had n't noticed the bright orange color. It looks weird but I think it suits her.
