"Sofia, hurry up!" Her brother, Jack shouts.

Sofia Banks is nearly fourteen years old and is currently obsessed with four things: Harry Potter, The Vampire Diaries, The Hunger Games and Olivia Rodrigo. Her sister Zacaeria - Zara for short - is ten, and her older brother, Jack, is fifteen. They live in the countryside in Ireland with their parents, Connor and Isabela. Isabela is Spanish, and Connor is Irish.

Zara is yelling at Sophia to hurry up because she's doing a little bit of last second packing for the family's two week trip to Scotland. It's not really a trip, more like visiting their Great Aunt Judith, who, for some reason, lives in this cottage isolated in a tiny village in the not-so-tiny Scottish mountainside.

She didn't always live there. She grew up in Ireland and moved to London in her thirties before settling down in Scotland with loads of money.

Sofia's looking for her sunglasses and hat. Who knows what the weather will be like up there? She finally find them under her bed and throws them in her suitcase, then slams it shut. She takes one last glance around her room, making sure she's not forgetting anything, then slings her bag over her shoulder (which has her phone, her charger, wired headphones and air pods, the third Harry Potter book, some money and an energy bar, and a pack of malteasers in it, ) and picks up her suitcase and walks out shouting, "I'm coming!" to her family who are waiting downstairs for her.

She drags her suitcase down the stairs, the wheels hitting the white carpet that covers them. When she gets to the bottom, she gives Zara a hug, and Jack shouts, "Okay, let's go."

They pile into the car, and Sofia gets herself comfortable for the half-hour drive to the airport. She takes out Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - the rest of the books are in her suitcase. She has to have something to read while she's in Scotland - and starts reading. Just as she gets to the part where Harry meets Hermione and Ron in Diagon Alley, they arrive at the airport.

The family grabs their suitcases and bags and walk inside the airport. They're actually early (for once), which means they'll have to wait around two hours for their flight to arrive. They check out their bags and head over to the black plastic seats to wait.

"Anyone hungry?" Conor asks.

"No."

"Nope."

"Nah."

"Yes."

Sofia turns to look at Jack confusedly, "How are you hungry? You literally had five sausages, half a plate of chips and some bacon just before we left."

"So?"

"So?" She laughs, "You're ridiculous. Harry Potter pun intended. I'm not hungry anyway. I'm just gonna sit here and read Harry Potter for -" I look at my watch, "-An hour and forty-six minutes until our flight comes."

"Okay then. Bye."

Jack walks off after Connor to buy some food.

Isabela excuses herself to go use the bathroom and tells Sophia to 'mind your sister'.

She rolls her eyes and turns to Zara, "Hey Zara, do you want a malteaser?"

She nods her head excitedly, "Si, por favor!"

Sofia chuckles as she takes her bag off and take the malteasers out. Zara is so cute. Even though she's ten, she acts like a four year old, and her brown hair is cut chin length and is always messy, which makes her even more adorable.

"Here ya go," She opens the bag of malteasers and holds it out for her to take some.

She smiles and says, "I love malteasers, but next time, can you get Skittles? They're my favourite."
