Julia only being nine, returned from school that day.
"how was school Hun?" her mother asked her
"Awful" she replied heavily, a tear sliding down her cheek.
You see Julia was hated at school, she didn't have any friends. Her parents, however said that all of her friends were here at home. That made her feel even worse, but her parents didn't know that of coarse. Her mother was a distant relative of the Potter family. Her father, he came from a closely nit family in Greece.
That day her father had lost his muggle lawyer job, his clients had said that he would badger them with a "stick" when he got mad. This "stick" of coarse was his wand that he'd had scene he was eleven. His boss fired him.
Julia thought that it was quite funny that her father hit people with a "stick". She laughed herself silly. Her dad just scowled. Her mother was amused when he told her about what happened. Then, she scowled when he said " I don't know why you insist on laughing, I just got fired!" He yelled the last bit from the top of the stairs. Then locked himself in his and her mother's room for the rest of the day.
Her mother baked chocolate chip cookies, this was a way of relieving stress, she told Julia. After the cookies were done baking, the pair headed to the grocery store to stock up on supplies. When they pulled into their drive way, her father was waiting at the door. They looked at each other nervously at each other. They got out of the car, grabbed the bags of groceries, and proceeded up the side walk. When her and her mom got to the door, her father said
" I have some upsetting news." Her mother glared at him, while Julia just looked into his cold brown eyes.
" Why don't we go inside," felling the neighbors' eyes on her and her daughter.
"Fine" he Glared back
Something about Julia's family was that everyone scowled a lot. They also had very strong likes and dislikes, which sometimes got in the way. Julia and her mom went straight to the kitchen and started to put the piles of food away
"Well are you going to tell us what the 'upsetting' news is?" her mother inquired.
" We…." a slight pause looking worried at what the reaction would be "we.. Are moving back to the states so that I can continue to provide for my family the best way I know how."
They looked stunned. Julia was the first to say something. "oh… my…. Goodness." She was so happy. She remembered going to America. She was eight, they went to see family. She hated her aunt Amilia, but loved her uncle Jim. Jim would take her to get ice cream and he would buy her little trinkets. She loved him so much. It would be awesome for her back in to the states, she couldn't wait to see him.
