Theda
We drove back to our house, listening to Teddy complain about how unfair it was that Kaytee got a new broom and he didn't. None of us were particularly sympathetic, as he could have had a job too. I had gotten a job at the Muggle library near where we lived, so that was fun, trying to convince the Gringotts goblins to convert all that money.
Mum drove, which was probably good because Dad fell asleep as soon as he got in the car and didn't wake up until we got home two hours later.
We lived in Norfolk, near the River Bure, sort of near St. Bennet's Abbey. It's two hours away from the Ministry, but Mum apparated every day so that didn't really matter. St. Bennet's used to be our playground when we were little, Teddy and me. We'd head out there in the morning with our lunches and spend all day exploring. Those were the good times.
It's still the good times, I guess, but now we know more. Now the world's a more dangerous place. Not as bad as it was when Voldemort, but just because we're older and know more.
"Theda love, are you packed yet?" Mum asked, sticking her head in. I nodded.
"Yeah." I said, blocking the pile of books that were still on my floor.
"Good." Mum said, and left again.
I picked up the books and opened my trunk, looking at everything all neatly packed away. All my blue and silver neckties, all my black skirts and black sweaters with the little band of blue around the hem. All my jeans and hoodies and Weird Sister t-shirts (Yes, Mum got me hooked) were on the other side, along with my hairbrush and way more hair ties than any girl should have really.
My silver dress robes were in a garment bag along with the matching heels, and the blue clip in the shape of an eagle. It was time for another year at Hogwarts.
