<div align="center">Adelaide's fitting was quick, as the owner knew precisely what she was doing so very well. It was quick, and she was rushed into a goodbye from her father. They could both sense Nagendra's frustration somewhere in the alley with the twins and they knew they had to get there. It was sad to have to say goodbye to her new acquaintances but she knew that she might see them again soon at school. Rushing through the crowds behind her father she kept up easily, this was the pace of the Tanith family naturally. They were quick, quiet and some would say lethal. But, Adelaide wasn't aware of the dark history that supposedly sat in their family. Her father quickly found Nagendra and the twins. When Onyx and Theo saw her they were filled with joy and dropped the battle they seemed to be having with their mother and ran over to her, quickly embracing her in a welcoming hug. <strong>"We've missed you, Berry. But, I missed you more. Theo only cared about some stupid trick beans at Weasley's!"</strong> Onyx quickly chirped up to Adelaide as she stood looking down at them as their parents talked. <strong>"No! Liar. Don't lie Onyx, nobody likes liars!"</strong> Theo quickly blurted back at Onyx. Adelaide laughed at the two and shook her head. <strong>"I'm sure you both missed me equally. What ever are you two going to do without me when I go away to school?"</strong> She said kindly down at them. They all fell relatively quiet for a moment as if they had both realized that their precious older sister would be leaving for a long time. <strong>"Oh, I'll be back at holiday's!"</strong> Adelaide said quickly to reassure them. <br/><br/>Being saved by her parents who were done with the conversation they were having they looked back at the three children and smiled as they motioned for them to follow quickly. Rushing through the rest of their shopping the family returned home pretty smoothly after getting everything else that Adelaide needed for school. The next few weeks went by quickly, and then before she knew what happened it was the day to go to the train. Nagendra and Hadian were yelling for Adelaide to get ready and get in the kitchen for the past half hour, they weren't angry at first but their agitation was quickly growing. Finally Nagendra burst into her daughters room with a frightening wrath around her, <strong>"What are you doing? Have you become deaf overnight?"</strong> Her words flipped through the room quickly before she realized Adelaide was looking under her bed. <strong>"I'm sorry, mother. I'm looking for Leon, he's nowhere to be found. I don't see why I have to put him in a cage anyway."</strong> Adelaide responded quickly, her voice holding a stroke of worry and frustration as she stood up her hands on her hips looking at her mother for answers. <strong>"Leon in already ready in the kitchen, along with everything else, darling. C'mon."</strong> Her voice was kinder now and reassuring, knowing that her daughter was secretly nervous of the new experience laying ahead of her. Smiling embarrassed Adelaide followed her mother into the kitchen and was greeted by the twins again and walked over to Leon and pet him through the bars for a moment and then nodded to the rest of the family. <br/><br/><strong>"We are going to be late. You women and your damn fidgeting."</strong> Hadrian whispered under his breath as the family flew through the train station. The females of the family laughed together at his comment, and Hadrian and Tobias raced ahead. The twins had stayed home, in fact causing some tensions as they said goodbye to Adelaide for a long time. It took them a while to finally release Adelaide and give her the ability to finally leave them for school. <strong>"But we are kind of... early, father."</strong> Adelaide said kind of quickly. His eyes flashed back to his daughter and then back to the path ahead of them. Over the summer she had played with her new found wand and she was quite happy to be going to school and being able to actually learn more about everything. She had read some books over the summer of wand-use and the mechanics behind it all, but she still couldn't wait to get into school. Almost running into her father and brother she looked up quickly and looked at the wall that was in front of them. Confused she looked at her mother and brother who were standing a little agitated now by the hold up. They looked at Hadrian and Adelaide and gave a little nod and walked quickly through the wall. Adelaide had done this before, but this time it was different. <strong>"It's better to show up early than late. The early bird gets the worm, darling."</strong> Her father said to her quietly and then pushed her forward a little bit softly. <strong>"It's like every other time, but this time it's for you. Be happy, walk briskly. Take a deep breath."</strong> He pushed her softly again and then soon they were through the wall. <br/><br/>Looking around she watched her brother wish them a farewell and join his own friends and then disappear among the crowd. They were early, and it was clear they were. Sighing she looked up to her parents. <strong>"So, I guess this is it?"</strong> She said with a little grin. Her parents nodded and then took her into an embrace. As she stepped back from the odd public affection again, she heard her name. Looking over confused she quickly recognized Zelric and gave him a welcoming smile and a small wave. <strong>"Hey, Zelric! I'm great, how are you?"</strong> She replied quickly. She was surprisingly happy to see someone she knew. The pleasantries between the families went smoothly. A little odd to be introducing parents already, but it was funny to Adelaide. After a few minutes of small talk it was time to go in the train. Her parents quickly wished her good luck and watched their daughter board the train. <strong>"So... where do you want to sit?"</strong> She asked with a little laugh as she walked down the aisle and then looked back at him with a smile awaiting an answer. Not that it really mattered where they sat, it would be easy enough to find an empty section and hopefully even Cat and Giren would be able to find them, but who knew. </div>
