OVER the years Liora had grown quite the reputation amongst her professors. She wasn't one to back down she was quite stubborn and very outgoing but she can go unnoticed if she wanted to. She has gotten herself in trouble plenty of times with petty pranks mostly figured out by Mcgonagall. Besides her professors many students had known of the things she had done and really liked and respected Liora but only her four friends knew of the bigger pranks she had done because well she couldn't do everything alone. No one knew that she did such big pranks because they were never caught. She was never punished for her bigger pranks because no one thought it was her everyone thought it was the weasley twins of course she never corrected because why correct people when you can continue the fun with no consequences.

Today was the first day of Liora's 7th and last year at Hogwarts. She was excited to say the least finally able to be with all four of her friends again to see the first years get sorted for the last time. It all was so bitter sweet Hogwarts being her home for the last seven years her escape. A place where she found her family a place she felt she belonged.

Liora just had finished packing her trunk she took one last look at her apartment making sure she got everything and had enchanted her watering can to water her plants. Once she had finished checking for everything she needed she apperated to the train station. She went through 9 ¾ and saw all the Hogwarts express she felt butterflies erupt in her stomach a feeling she always felt every year. She saw families send off their kids everyone laughing having smiles etched on their faces she saw mothers crying saying goodbye to their kids. She found it so beautiful to witness all the families how every family is different but all filled with love. She couldn't help but feel slightly jealous but as fast as the feeling came it went away when she spotted her best friend Eloise.

"Eli my love!" she screamed toward her friend that was 10 feet away Eloise turned so fast that it looked like she almost broke her neck she rushed towards her best friend squeezing through the crowd mumbling excuse me's and sorry's  she finally got to her best friend and pulled her into a bone crushing hug

"Li the love of my life, the bane of my existence oh how I missed you" Liora laughed "we saw each other a week ago" Eloise gave a big exaggerated sigh

"and in that week my heart ached every passing minute without you" hugging Liora tighter with every word

"always one for the dramatics" she heard a man say with a chuckle they pulled away from the hug and Liora looked to where the voice came seeing Eloise's mother and father "hello Mrs. and Mr. Clark good to see you again" liora said with a small wave

"Oh hush with the formalities I have known you for seven years now you are my daughter now come give me a hug" Mrs. Clark said with a wave of a hand opening her arms for a hug Liora of course complying with a brief hug

"oh I have packed some snacks for both you and Eloise and don't start any trouble in the train at least wait until you both on school grounds before starting trouble we do not need a repeat of last year's train ride and please be careful" Liora smiled at Mrs. Clark she had always been like a surrogate mother to Liora since she met her

"Of course when have I ever caused trouble"

Eloise laughed at her best friends remark while Mr. Clark held back a snort "Mum we'll be very well behaved"

Mrs. Clark shook her head at the girls tears forming in her eyes "Oh our girls our babies growing up right in front of our eyes Nathaniel their last year" she said looking at her husband who looked like he was trying to hold back tears of his own "I know Mary they grew up so fast" he said shaking his head
