Joanna was getting her trunk ready. She was starting to feel the 1st year excitedness. But she was very unhappy about going. For Albus Dumbledore was no longer Headmaster, and Severus Snape was. Hannah would always tell stories of the horrid time she had in classes where Snape was teaching and now as Headmaster Hannah would tell Joanna. He'll ruin Gryffindors treat them like foul-smelling socks. Jo almost always tried to avoid to make prejudgment but this man sounded like an evil git, and now that he is headmaster when He-who-must-not-be-named took over the wizarding world he'd have to be a Death Eater or under the Imperious curse. either way she expected her first year to be worse than Hannah's ever was.

"Joanna Nicole Zefira get down here now and eat your breakfast! you're going to make you guys miss the train then try to have me explain to a Bloody Death Eater why they have escort you 2 to Hogwarts!" her mother yelled from downstairs.

"I'm Coming Mum!" She placed the last few last-minute things in her trunk the picture of her father the necklace he got her before he passed away hidden in the bottom. then she drags her trunk down the steps to the front room next to Hannah's and hurries to the kitchen "Morning Mummy" she kisses her mother's cheek then sits next to Hannah.

"You couldn't let me bring the bloody thing down?"Hannah said "All that thumping would have annoyed Dumbledore..."

"HANNAH HOPE ZEFIRA!"Nicole yelled at her daughter " Don't even use that language in this house again! Your father would be so disappointed in your foul language."

"Oh Mum stop it. My father would give a care. He'd of been annoyed by the thumping and bumping. I know he was when I did it in my 1st year."

"Hannah your father would never be happy with your language he'd wash your mouth out." Nicole said." Now eat. I don't wanna hear another word or your grounded for Christmas Holiday."

"Mummy...What about me?" Joanna asked her mother.

"No Joanna just Hannah but you need to eat as well." Nicole said. Joanna hurried to her seat & started eating the eggs and bacon.
Joanna looked up at her mother "Mum if we get to Hogwarts in time to eat supper & we leave at 11 on the dot what do we eat for lunch?"

"There is a trolley of sweets on the train"Nicole smiles "If it is still that sweet woman who just started my last year in Hogwarts she'll be really nice"

Hannah wanted to say something but stopped herself before she said anything. Joanna smiles at her Mum and finishes her breakfast. Shortly there after they make their way to platform 9 3/4. When they get on the platform Hannah kisses her mother good-bye and hurries off to find her friends Joanna sticks with her mother. "Mummy why are all these masked people here?" She got closer to her mother for protection.

"Joanna these are Death Eaters. You have to careful. You know How Mummy and Daddy were part of the Order"She whispers to her "they'll be looking for any of our kids to watch closely so be careful...I don't know if they knew me & and daddy were in it but still be careful and watch. Understand?" Joanna nods. "Good now I want you to make friends okay it doesn't matter if you're a Slytherin, Hufflepuff,or Ravenclaw. You don't have to be in Gryffindor to make me proud just make sure you behave well and keep your marks high!" She places her trunk on the train. Joanna was very confused but understood why her mother was saying this. She wanted to make it seem like Joanna was slightly worried about disappointing her mother by being placed in a house other than Gryffindor. In which case made the closest Death Eater turn away from them and look around for any other suspicious acts going on around the train. When the clock hit 11 the train whistle blew and Joanna jumped on the train quickly and shut the door She waved to her mother before she turned to trying to find an carpartment with as few of people as possible.
