Why England?
Two days later Demon woke early and dressed in a pair of black pants and a black t-shirt with a gray dragon on the front. She tied her hair back into a bun and began to apply her makeup when she heard a voice call to her from downstairs.
"Demon. Let's go we're going to be late." Dante yelled. She could hear him talking to her parents.
Her brother ran by her room and downstairs to get some breakfast before he went to work. He got half way down the stairs before he turned around and walked back to her door. "Hey freak." He said.
"What?" Demon asked turning from her mirror. She never cared if people had called her weird or a freak, she took it as a compliment.
"Where you going? I heard about your fight the other night. I figured you were going to get expelled one of these days. Good job." He said jokingly.
Demon rolled her eyes and turned from the mirror. There stood her 21-year-old brother, he had dirty blonde hair and brown eyes. "Thanks Hunter. I knew I would get support from you for being expelled." She laughed. Demon quickly finished her makeup and put it in the black bag she was taking with her. Her brother laughed and left for work forgetting about breakfast.
"Hey Dante. You know that if anything happens to her while she's with you that I'll kill you right?" Demon heard Hunter say when he reached the bottom of the stairs. She slung the bag over her shoulder and walked out of the room. When she reached the bottom of the stairs a woman with brown hair and eyes came walking towards her.
"Hey mom." Demon said giving the woman a hug.
"Honey, I know why you have to go but I want to you to be careful none the less. I know you can take care of yourself but there are a lot of people out there that are very powerful. Please listen to me, I love you so much and would die if I lost you." Her mother said lovingly.
"Mom, I love you too. You won't lose me I promise. I'll be back for summer ok?" Demon said pulling her mother into a hug. Her father walked over to her, he was bald, which was once blonde hair, with blue eyes.
"Here." He said handing her some strange money.
"What's this?" Demon asked him looking confused at the gold, silver, and bronze coins in her hand.
"It's money. Anyway, have a safe trip and send us some mail when you get there ok?" He said kissing her on the forehead.
"OK dad. I love you." She quickly gave him a hug also. She turned to Dante and they proceeded out the front door to his car. They drove to the airport talking about whatever popped into their minds. A half hour into the car ride Demon asked Dante a question that she had pondered for hours.
"Why do I have to go to a wizarding school in England?" Demon asked turning to Dante. "There's got to be a few kicking around Canada. Why can't I go to one that's closer to my family and friends?"
Dante turned to her for a brief moment before setting his eyes back on the road. "It's already half way into the term. None of the schools would accept you. They say you've missed too many tests. Something called O.W.L.'s. They say that you're supposed to be entering in your last year of school and there are too many tests for you to take before another set called N.E.W.T.'s. I tried to get you into one near by but they wouldn't take you. They thought that because you've only gone to human schools and none that help to develop your skills that you're too far behind."
"I've been teaching myself magic. I can make potions and perform charms easily. And so what if I have to catch up on some tests. I'll do it easily." Demon started.
"I know. I know. But they don't know how good you work with this stuff as well as I do." Dante said laughing at the memories of when Demon was teaching herself and walking into the room-soaking wet or when she'd get into a fight and he'd watch as she practically set her opponent on fire. "I called up an old friend. She's pretty cool. She's one of the teachers at the school and from what I've told her, she doesn't doubt your abilities. The school was happy to take you even though it is half way through the term." He said pulling into a parking spot at the airport. They walked into the building and quickly set things right and boarded a plane to England. The plane ride was kind of boring. They played cards that Demon brought and listened to some good music, not the crap the airplane was playing and got into the occasional poking fight. When they arrived they made their way to the train station. Upon arrival Dante walked straight towards platforms nine and ten.
"Ok, so now what do we do?" Demon asked looking around the station.
"Come on." Dante said grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the barrier.
"Ummm. Are you on crack? That would be a wall." Demon started but once getting to the other side said, ". That you can walk right through, what the hell?" She looked around confused and saw a scarlet red train. "I take it we're taking this the rest of the way eh?" Dante nodded. "Of course." Demon said to herself sarcastically. They got on the train and started towards the school again.
