BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!<br/><br/>The alarm clock was screaming with a vengeance. Evie groaned and sat up quickly.<br/><br/>BUMP<br/><br/>"Owe, damn it." She cursed rubbing her forehead. She cursed herself again for putting the shelf above her bed. The pain slowly subsided and the woman figured she'd have a bump there for the rest of the day at least. Evie finally threw off her covers and made her way downstairs.<br/><br/>Her mother was already awake and cooking breakfast. She smiled as Evie entered the kitchen. "So you are leaving us today right? Excited about your first year working at Hogwarts?"<br/><br/>Evie grinned. It would be her first job as a teacher and truth be told, she was nervous. Her years there as a student were fine for the most part. She tried to stay on top of her grades as much as possible and make at least a few friends. Now she would be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, and even now she wondered if she would succeed. She was still quite young but intelligent. She just hoped the students would actually listen to her.<br/><br/>"Yeah Mom. I can't wait." Evie replied. She then heard stomping down the stairs. The twins were awake now. They would be starting their fifth year at Hogwarts later on in the week. Both greeted her with a hug and sat down at the table.<br/><br/>"So can't wait til school starts this year. At least there's one class we can't fail." Laura joked.<br/><br/>"Well two for me at least." Raiden chimed in.<br/><br/>"Don't expect me to go easy on you just because I'm your sister. If you don't study and do what you're supposed to do, I will fail you." Evie narrowed her eyes at them. She wasn't going to give them any special treatment. She had enough on her plate this year.<br/><br/>Evie's father joined them soon after and the meal was filled with jokes and friendly banter as usual. To be honest, the woman would miss this most while she was away. She always did during her school years.<br/><br/>Evie stretched as she stood up. Her head was aching slightly. She looked around the living room for the little dragon who slept there. She spotted the little ball of red scales by the TV and walked over to it.<br/><br/>"Razor, we're going to be leaving g soon. You need to wake up." Evie cooed as she beat down.<br/><br/>The little dragon looked up at her. She had him since her first year at Hogwarts and he never seemed to change. The little creature climbed up her arm and sat on her shoulder. He wasn't much bigger than the average house cat in height so this was never a difficult task for him.<br/><br/>Evie sighed and went back upstairs to pack up everything she bought at Diagon Alley the other day. She used a spacial charm to fit everything into two suitcases. The one was strictly clothes and whatnot, and the other was things she'd need for the class. After an hour or so she hurried down the stairs, toting the wheeling suitcases behind her.<br/><br/>"Mom, I'm ready to head to King's Cross now." She smiled half hearted.<br/><br/>"Alright. Go put your things in the car. Alan dear, please watch the twins until I get back." She smiled to her husband.<br/><br/>Evie hurried don't the door and put the two suitcases in the trunk. She hopped into the passengers seat and put Razor on her lap instead. It wasn't long after that her mother walked out of the two story Victorian style house they owned. She slid into the drivers seat with ease and started the car.<br/><br/>"You got everything you needed at Diagon Alley right?" Elaine asked.<br/><br/>"Yes Mom. I ran through the checklist three times to double check." She sighed as she looked out the window. She wished she could've just driven there by herself but somebody had to bring the car back. Evie turned up the radio, deciding to listen to some pop along the way.<br/><br/>The trip took about thirty minutes without much traffic to slow them down. Her mother pulled up to the front and let her daughter out. Evie had everything out and ready in less than five minutes.<br/><br/>"Bye sweetie." Her mother called. "Write often okay?"<br/><br/>"I will." Evie called back as she raced inside. She made her way over to the brick entrance where platform 9 and 3/4 resided. She ran through before any muggles could see her and ask questions. She stopped just outside the gate on the wizard side, hoping to catch sight of someone she knew. There were a couple familiar faces but none that she actually talked to so she made her way on the the train and found an empty compartment to sit in. Razor curled himself up on the seat next to her as they waited for the train to leave.<br/><br/>Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using Tapatalk
