The next morning was an exciting one, seeing as they were all going to Diagon Alley for their much-needed school supplies that they couldn't hand-me-down. Hope entered the kitchen to find her mum whipping up a quick breakfast. Molly looked up from the bacon she was frying to see Hope piling pancakes on her plate. " Where are the boys?" "Um," she said with her mouth full, "The sleepy heads are still in bed." "Sweetie can you watch the bacon while I go get their lazy bones out of bed?" " Sure mum." Molly headed upstairs expecting to find two little boys in bed sleeping, but what she found instead was two little boys in full body binds on the floor. Her first instinct was to scream and then she quickly performed the counter curse. "What happened to you two? Who did this to you?" she demanded, slightly afraid to find out. "Hope!" they both cried out in unison. It was just then that it hit her what had happened. She started to laugh, "Good for her" "What mum, she cursed us and all you can do is laugh and praise her. Why?" "Well you two deserved it after hiding her letter, but I will punish her. Now get changed we have a big day ahead of us." The day continued with no other incidents. Hope was punished with chores around the house for a week.
