Surprise.

Me and my mother are in the kitchen waiting for my father to come downstairs before we can have breakfast.

Yeah, we must wait for him to arrive so we can eat.

I have my hand under my chin, getting impatient.

"What's taking him so bloody long ? "

" I'm not sure, il go check " she says, getting out of her chair.

She goes to the stairs and I hear her knock on their door.

I don't hear anything until i hear yelling and I instantly tense up.

I cover my ears and just imagine I'm anywhere else but here.

This wasn't a constant thing when I was younger, them arguing,but whenever it did, I always covered my ears, i just felt calmer that way.

I slowly take my ears away and it's silent.

Then I hear footsteps and I see both of them.

Finally.

They just sit down without saying anything.

Eve bring us our breakfast and I immediately start eating it.

" Isobel, have you been in the library since you've arrived home ? " my mother asks out of nowhere.

Shit, are there cameras in that room?.

" yes I've been in the library"

That isn't a lie, I was.

My father clenches his jaw " was that the only place you were in ? "

I shouldn't have asked anything about that room, now they're suspicious.

" yes... I can't get into that other room " I say with a reassuring look, reminding them.

My father nods slightly.

It's silent for the rest of breakfast, little glances between all of us every now and then.

It's after our food and me and my mother are leaving to go to Hogsmeade.

I wait at the door for my mother and I look over to see her whispering to my father and he walks over to the library door and locking it... with magic.

I know they suspect something, they isn't any other reason why they're locking it.

They don't trust me, they're is something I'm not allowed see in that room.

Which makes me want to get it even more.

My mother finally walks over to me and I quickly look away.

" let's go " she says opening the door and walking out.

I close the door and follow her.

As soon as we enter Hogsmeade and links our arms, and puts on a smile.

And so do I.

People walk by saying hello and my mother smiles back.

I wish she'd act like the person she does in front of everyone else.

But it's all just an act, just to remain a image and get people to think we're a happy family.

We get to the dress shop and my mother goes to the woman at the till, kissing her cheek.

" hello miss Marshall, I assume you're here for the dresses ? "

" yes we are "

They'll be ready in a moment just wait here and we'll get them ready " the lady says, my mother smiling and nodding while the woman leaves the till.
