*Time skip to the morning of  September 1st*

It was the morning that they were going to Hogwarts and Draco and Sirius were rushing around trying to get everything ready, though no one really understood why Sirius was. 

All the while Irene was sat at the table with Sarah and Sal eating breakfast. Irene looked towards Narcissa, who was sitting across the table, "Are Draco and Sirus always like this on the first day?"

Narcissa laughed lightly while nodding her head, "Draco tends to overthink everything, while Sirius is just a child," This caused Irene and Sarah to laugh while Sirius pouted.

"Puupppp, you're not supposed to agree with her!" Sirius had popped up behind Irene before plopping down on the chair beside her, throwing his arm around her shoulders.

Irene only shrugged her shoulders, smiling, "But I was always told to speak my mind, so I'm just doing as I was told, papa." She finished her sentence with an 'innocent' look on her face. 

Meanwhile, in the background, most of the adults were laughing at the look of betrayal on Sirius's face. 

He went to reply to her comment but was cut off by Draco running downstairs in his pj's with his trunk being dragged behind him. Draco was wheezing, "Ok, I'm ready now."

Narcissa was not amused with him, so when he looked at her she just simply raise an eyebrow at him. Not understanding why he looked around before looking down at what he was wearing. Realizing what he was wearing he ran back upstairs to go change.

Most of the people were laughing at Draco's frazzled state, Irene was one of them but she then headed upstairs to go change into her clothes.

Her outfit was fairly simple, a black long-sleeved shirt with high-waisted plaid pants. She added a necklace and ring that had protection charms against harmful jinxes and charms.  She walked back downstairs with her trunk in hand, when she reached the top of the stairs what she saw made her want to burst into happiness and into tears at the same time. 

Toby was currently being held by Sarah who had a look of surprise on her face. Irene rushed down the stairs, completely forgetting about her trunk. "Toby!" This caused the group to look at her, but she was only focused on her little brother, whose face had lit up at the sight of her.

"'Re 'Re!" Sarah put down Toby seeing that he wanted to go see Irene. Once he was on the floor he ran to meet Irene halfway.

She fell onto her knees as she grabbed him, she felt like crying. "Hey, Toby," She sniffed trying to hold back tears, "How are you bud?" He pulled back to look at her before going off on a rant about what had happened when he was in school. 

Irene was nodding along with him, not truly paying attention to what he was saying as she was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that he was really there right in front of her. She looked up behind Toby and to her surprise, Irene and Robert were both there. Although Robert looked like he was extremely uncomfortable.
