She slid across the London taxi knowing full well what she was getting into. She squished herself in between her trunks all with the Hogwarts crest inscribed. She moved as far as she could leave as much space as possible for Remus. It was hard to describe their relationship. Some would say he was just a mere guardian when with all he did for her that man was like a father since hers was sitting in jail feeling like he'd never be happy again. Remus shouted "Kings Cross" over the piles of trunks. He put his hand on her arm and asked her for only the hundredth time in the last hour, "Sophie, are you sure you want to do this?" She replied with her usual "you know the answer to that" and a small smirk. She squeezed his arm in assurance and promised him it would all be ok and to relax. She took a final glimpse of the London townhouse that housed the flat that was theirs as they took off on the first step of their life altering journey.
Sophie watched the houses and red buses and the signs her favorite of which was Harrods flit by as she immersed herself in her wild thoughts. She thought of the last time she saw her father and her friends and how she would miss them. She pondered how often she would be able to make the treacherous journey to her father's maximum security prison. Immediately the thoughts of how she felt there flooded her mind and tried to think of happier things. Sophie glanced quickly at Remus. He was immersed in the novel he most likely whipped out of his back pocket. When she turned her head again she saw it. King's Cross rose out of the distance. The cab came to a screeching halt and Remus passed his pounds over the window. As she moved her trunks Sophie stepped out onto the curb. Her foot felt something far too soft to be London pavement. She grabbed the Daily Prophet off the ground and glanced at the headline. Sophie's body went rigid and her face in pure shock and horror. She managed to whisper Remus. Rushing to her side he saw what Sophie knew to be a disaster. "Now Remus, I am not sure if I can do this," she choked out as she sunk to the floor head far to full to focus on standing.
