The next few months passed by in a blur. The days seemed to roll into one, consisting of waking up early, doing chores all day and going to bed after a small dinner. Liam helped me as much as he could and in return I read him some of my school books.
I had almost finished reading all my school books and memorised most of the spells.
I look at the calendar on the walls and see that it is the last day of August. September first is the day Hogwarts starts but I won't be attending. If it were up to me, I would be at Hogwarts right now, but my mother says I am not to go to Hogwarts, besides, there would be no way of getting there.
I jump from my bed when I here my mum shouting at someone.
"She is not going to that school for weirdos, you hear. I will not pay for her to be taught 'magic' or whatever else you teach there." I hear her screech.
I decide to tune out of the conversation, knowing that there would be no chance in hell I would ever being going to Hogwarts as long as I lived under this roof.
What I didn't expect is for Lupin to come into my room as I was reading.
"Come on Elizabeth. We're going to Hogwarts." He says over mums shouts.
"Ok, I have to say goodbye to Liam first." I say as he nods.
I quickly grab the bag that I packed late July and gathered my school books from there various hiding places.
Dragging my bag behind me, i rush into Liam's room.
"Liam, I don't have much time. I'm going to Hogwarts before mum can stop me." I say as Liam engulfs me in a hug.
"I'm gonna miss you Liz." Liam says, holding on tight.
Liz. Only Liam called me that. To everyone else it's just Elizabeth but to Liam it's Liz. It wouldn't sound right coming from anyone else.
"I'm gonna miss you to Liam. I promise to write often. Goodbye." I say as I hear mum coming round the corner.
I hide behind a door and, when mums gone, sneak out the front door to where Lupin is waiting.
"Ready." I say as a walk over to him.
"Good. We can stay the night in a wizard pub called the Leaky Cauldron. Tomorrow we will get on the Hogwarts Express at 11."
I smile as I take hold of his extended arm. "It's off to Hogwarts." I say as I feel a familiar squeezing sensation and i am gone from moon court.
