"Now, are you absolutely sure you haven't forgotten anything. I know that I could just owl it to you but-"
"Mum, calm down, I've checked, and double checked, and triple checked, and the only thing I didn't pack was my broom."
"Yeah, you put in in my stu-"
"Be quiet Ollie!"
There was a sigh.
"Alright, I guess your ready dear. But its just, I'm going to miss you."
A slight grin.
"I know Mum, who wouldn't miss having me around?"
"I for one know a fe-"
The sound of somebody being hit upside the head.
"Oliver, stop baiting your cousin."
Stifled laughter.
"Yes Da'."
An impatient sigh.
"Mum, can I go now? I wanna get a compartment to myself for as long as I can."
"Fine, but come here and give me a proper goodbye."
"Muu-uum!"
A wet smacking sound is heard, and some sniffles.
"Aww, come'on Mum, don't start that. I'll be home for Christmas, and I'll write home as much as I can. Promise."
"I-I know."
A deep breath.
"Ok. I'm fine. Now, off you are. I need to get to work. Write me tonight if you can. I love you."
A sad smile.
"Love you too."
