Getting Ready
Alicia, Jodie, and Babbs arrive at the Spinnet household, the two adults aren't home, there is however, a note on the table, reading:
Dear Licia and Jodie, We went to the store, we'll be back soon, go ahead and start packing, we decided to leave tomorrow. We'll be taking a portkey to Paris instead of just flying.
Toodles, Diane
Donald
"Well Squirt, I'm going to start packing, get Eydie to help you."
Alicia headed up the stairs that were connected to the kitchen, and up to her room, she took a scarlet colored duffel bag out from underneath her bed, and looked it over. Her name was sewn into the bag with gold colored thread. Diane had gotten these made for every member of the team when Ali had joined the Gryffindor Quidditch Team in her second year. Alicia smiled slightly, and started loading some of her belongings inside, she puts in some shoes, and dumps in her makeup to give to the homeless shelters there, all the girls in France wear makeup. She then takes a black suitcase down from her closet, she sets it out on her bed, then starts packing various articles of clothing, a few pairs of jeans, a nice pair of khakis, some tanktops, and some nice shirts. A skirt or two, and a blouse, just in case they go out for a nice dinner. She gets a pink vanity bag, and places her incense, and folds her yoga mat up really small, and places it inside on of the bags.
"What a fun few months this is going to be."
She rolls her eyes, and throws all of her luggage into a corner of her room. After she finishes, she walk downstairs and into Jodie's room, where the little girl sits on her bed, Babbs sitting next to her.
"Jo.Here, let me help you pack."
Alicia grabs some clothes from Jodie's closet, and throws it all into a bright blue suitcase.
"Alright Jodie.You're packed!"
She smiles and walks out of the room, Jodie at her heels.
"Ali.. I'm huuuuungry! Make me something to eat!"
Jodie stomped her foot, while putting her hands on her waist, Alicia rolls her eyes and sticks out her tongue at the 8 year old.
"Fine.I'll make you some macaroni and cheese. Is that alright? Well it better be. Because that's what I'm making you."
Jodie smiled and nodded.
"Yum! Macaroni and cheese!"
She skips off into the house, singing a tune to some muggle song, about macaroni and cheese, Alicia sighed.
"Why can't she just be normal? For once I'd like to have a NORMAL family!"
Alicia started to make the macaroni and cheese, she turned on the oven, and heated some water, then poured in the noodles. She let that sit for a little while, so she could go set the table. She comes back 15 minutes later, and strains the noodles, then starts mixing it all up, she serves it onto the brightly colored plates in the kitchen.
"Okay Jo.. You can come eat now!"
Alicia hears no response from her half-sister. She raises an eyebrow, and walks into her bedroom.
"Jo?"
She walks into the room, and searches, she walks back out, scratching her head.
"Where could she be? JO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't have time for games now! Diane and Dad are gonna be home soon! You need to eat!"
She walks upstairs into her bedroom, and there little Jodie is, rummaging through an old shoebox, the words "Oliver Wood" written in pretty pink script on the side.
"Jeraldine Anne Spinnet! Put that away!"
Alicia screams at her sister and dives at her, grabbing the box full of smiling, winking, and sobbing pictures of the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain and Keeper, Oliver Wood. Jodie screams and runs from the room.
"You little monster! I'm going to hurt you SO BAD when I get my hands on you!"
She puts the pictures back in the box gingerly, one by one, she stops and looks at one of Oliver and her with his arm around her, the two of them are laughing. Alicia smiles softly to herself, and puts the picture into the box with the rest, and puts the box back in it's hiding spot, which happens to be under her bed. Downstairs, the front door opens, and the two other members of the family enter the house.
"We're home!"
Came the lofty, light voice of Diane, Alicia made a face, and ran downstairs to join the others in the kitchen for macaroni and cheese.
