A long silence sits between the two sisters as Ramona contemplates what she will say. She sets a stern look at Elodie before saying. "It- it's none of your business; you need to stop snooping in my room."

Elodie cuts her off with a scoff. "None of my business? None of my business! Mona, this was mum's." She pauses, her voice softer when she continues. "How could you not tell me, Mo? I thought we had nothing left of her- of them."

Tears begin to run down Ramona's cheeks when she finally answers. "I'm sorry, El, everything for the past few years has been so stressful, and you were so young." She wipes her tears, "I don't even know what it means, okay! It's just an insignificant little letter I found of hers, seeing as these were the only few things we had left for them."

Elodie looks away from her sister, still upset. Ramona sighs, "Look, El, I was going to tell you, but after trying to decipher it for so long, I slowly began to put it in that little box, and I stopped it away in my closet and forgot all about it." The younger brunette is silent for a moment. "Can I have it?" Elodie then speaks up and says.

Ramona contemplates for a moment. "Yeah, maybe you can figure out what it means."

The new school year at Hogwarts was more uneventful than usual. Doing what she did every year-writing a letter with the list of things she needed, along with money, to Penelope. As every year except for years 1. Penelope bought the stuff for her since her sister was uncomfortable with Diagon Alley.

While Ramona would drop her off at Kings Cross at a specific time so she has enough time to find Penelope and all her stuff. Ramona, having told her years before that the platforms seem normal enough. But even then, she still wouldn't fully enter the platform with her.

Elodie is now waving at her sister, holding the cat carrier with her cat, Bathilda, in it before she runs through the brick to the platform. She was now exposed to the familiarity of platform 9 ¾. From the parents saying goodbye to their kids. To the kids holding their carts with all their school books and clothes. She then begins to move her way through the crowd to find Penelope. Or at least Fred and George.

She soon finds her best friend facing away from her, talking to two redhead boys. Who were unmistakably Fred and George. She smiles and runs up to them. Making Penelope jump. "Merlin! El, don't sneak up on me like that!" Elodie could practically hear Forge holding back two identical laughs.

Penelope rolls her eyes before giving Elodie her cart.

" By the way, here are your things... you're welcome to carry your cart that I so painstakingly dragged through the platform for you," Penelope says, pretending to be annoyed. She gives her friend a smile before obnoxiously wrapping her arms around Penelope. "Aww, you do care!" Elodie shouts, gaining a few looks from students and parents on the platform.

Soon the whistle blows. Penelope pushes her arms off. "Stop embarrassing me, El, and you two stop encouraging her," she says, pointing towards Fred and George, who were trying not to burst out laughing. The four friends all grin at each other before walking towards the train to find seats. As the four walked to the train, she couldn't help but think about Remus.
