Little does she know that something or someone is about to ruin her plans of a brilliant year and her friends would never think that they're happy go lucky, free spirited Honey could be caught up in more danger than any of them realise
Chapter One
"Mum could you pass the salt please"
"You know dear I was thinking that lemon might not be such a match with the table decorations, it clashes don't you think"
"Mum-"
"And I think you're going to have to review the table setting arrangements with the third table because uncle Jerry and Aunt Linda probably shouldn't be sitting that close together right after the divorce –"
"Mum …salt…please"
"Oh and your dress maker called and she said Tuesday was the only day left that she could fit you in so I was thinking that-"
An ignored young girl sitting on the left hand side of the dark, fernwood dinner table sighed to herself. The scraping of her matching wooden chair went unnoticed as had her request for the salt as she stood up and leaned over the table. Another more exasperated sigh escaped her lips as her dark brown hair fell into the gravy pooled on her china plate. A nasty snicker from across the table made her look up an annoyed frown contorting her usually calm features as she met the icy stare of her dearest, older sister, Sylvia. Sylvia's lips were curved into an almost malicious smirk as she witnessed her younger sister make a fool of herself. The cruel, degrading laugh however hadn't come from Honey williams' sister, instead from the man slouching in the chair next to Sylvia. Jared Wright was, according to Honey, a sleazy jerk trapped in a pre-pubescent boy's body. The measly man had a heart just as warm as her sisters whose could rival about that of a flobberworms. The thought made her lips crease upwards briefly as she sat back in her chair with the salt in her right hand. She looked up and took in the couple sitting opposite her as her sister finally answered their mother,
"That all sounds wonderful Mum, would you be able to come to the reception place with me tomorrow I have to make a few more decisions about the buffet's and the decorations and all of that and I think it would be so wonderful if you could be there with me"
Another smirk found Sylvia's perfect, bow-shaped lips as she quickly glanced at Honey before looking back at her mother with warm, loving eyes. Their mother answered her after swallowing a mouth full of potato,
"Of course love I'd love to be there"
Sylvia grinned at her victory before letting out a very fake gasp of worry.
"Oh but Mum you were supposed to be dropping Honey off at the train station for her school thing or whatever" The matriarch of the Williams family smiled at her oldest daughter before turning to her youngest with raised eyebrows,
"You don't mind do you Hon, the wedding is just such as big deal you know, but I'll be there to pick you up later on"
Honey nodded trying to recall how many times her mother had actually made an appearance at the platform of nine and three quarters. A total sum of – Zero.
Honey shook her head before quietly asking to be excused and not waiting for the answer she knew she wouldn't receive she got up and carried her plate into the kitchen.
Upon entering the kitchen an older woman, her face lined with age, turned her azure eyes sparkling on spotting Honey,
"Evening love, ready for school" the cook kindly asked the younger girl in front of her,
"Hi Elizabeth, how has your day been, I'm sorry I didn't make it to breakfast I overslept and yes I'm more than ready for school"
She grinned, the thought of returning to her second home made her heart warm and she was helpless to stop a warm smile from erupting across her features. Elizabeth smiled in response,
"Nonsense dear, make sure you catch breakfast tomorrow though it will be a big day for you" The older woman smiled and Honey nodded once again
"I think you might be taking me again this year Elizabeth"
"Ahh, chef and chauffer" Elizabeth laughed and then looked at the younger girl with sympathy,
"Is your mother going with Sylvia to her wedding reception planning?"
"I think so"
"I'm sorry dear"
Honey smiled grimly,
"That's okay, I like it when you take me, will George be coming too"
"Most probably and we'll probably take the twins too, now you young lady get yourself up to bed, I take it you haven't packed." Honey smiled sheepishly and Elizabeth scoffed in mock annoyance before grinning,
"I'll see you in the morning love, good night"
"Good night Elizabeth, Thankyou"
"My pleasure dear"
Honey turned and left the kitchen heading up the three flights of rich red carpeted stairs to her room. She sighed, tiredly this time when she entered her room and cursed the fact that she still wasn't allowed to use magic outside of Hogwarts as she surveyed her room. Books, clothes, rubbish and her other various belongings were strewn across the room and her frame fell at the work she knew was ahead of her. But as her eyes travelled around the room once more her eyes fell on a small photo blue tacked to the wall beside her bed. It was a picture of one of her favourite memories. Four boys, nearly men stood with wide grins on their faces while an annoyed Honey stood off to the side looking at them accusingly. She could barely remember what she had been annoyed with them that day when another of Honey's friends Lily had secretly snapped the photo but it had been one of her favourites ever since. Suddenly a new rush of energy found her and she quickly moved around the room stuffing things into her trunk haphazardly. She couldn't wait to get back to her four best friends in the entire world. Her family.
Not a very exciting first chapter, just to set the scene a little….arrival of some more well known characters next chapter.
