As dawn broke, casting a soft golden hue over the Minatozaki Manor, an air of excitement filled the house. Today was the day they would venture to Diagon Alley to get Mai's school supplies for Hogwarts. The morning sunlight streamed through the large, ornate windows, illuminating the beautiful and historic architecture of their home. Every corner of the manor seemed to sparkle with anticipation.
In the spacious kitchen, the Minatozaki family gathered for breakfast. The room was filled with the delicious aroma of freshly baked pastries, scrambled eggs, and crispy bacon. Irene moved gracefully around the kitchen, her ethereal beauty heightened by the morning light. She served breakfast with a warm smile, her movements elegant and precise.
Mai, brimming with excitement, could hardly sit still. She bounced in her chair, her eyes shining with anticipation. "I can't wait to go to Diagon Alley!" she exclaimed, practically vibrating with energy.
Kai, ever the teasing older brother, leaned back in his chair with a smirk. "Calm down, Mai. You might bounce your way there without needing to apparate," he said, his tone dripping with mock seriousness.
He smirked and leaned down to her level. "Just remember to stand still, Mai. We wouldn't want you to get lost in the middle of apparation, would we?" he teased, his voice dripping with mock concern.
Mai's face paled slightly at the thought, and she tried to remain as still as possible. Sai, who had a more reserved demeanor, glanced at his siblings with a mixture of amusement and apprehension. He was dreading the apparation, knowing how sick it made him. "I just hope I don't end up landing on my head again," he muttered, poking at his food.
Their father, sat at the head of the table, exuding an air of calm and authority. He glanced at Sai with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, Sai. I'll make sure we land smoothly this time," he promised, his voice steady and comforting.
After breakfast, they gathered in the grand entrance hall. The walls were lined with family portraits and magical artifacts, each telling a story of the Minatozaki legacy. Dai, ever the efficient planner, gave a final briefing.
Dai, seeing Sai's hesitation, gently but firmly grabbed his arm. "Come on, Sai, let's get it over with," he said, his tone both comforting and resolute.
Sai's face turned a shade paler at the thought. He had always hated apparating, the sensation of being squeezed through a tube making him nauseous. "Do we have to apparate? Can't we use the Floo Network instead?" he pleaded, looking hopefully at his parents.
Irene shook her head gently, her long, silver tinted black hair cascading over her shoulders. "It will be faster this way, Sai. We'll be there before you know it," she said, her voice soothing.
And ever the mischievous older brother, took great delight in teasing Sai."Come on, Sai, it's not that bad. Just think of it as a quick spin through space," he said, grinning widely.
