"Rise and shine kids!" Mum called as she walked through the living room. She held her head.

"When'd you get in last night?" I asked groggily. She groaned as I entered the kitchen. She poured us both a cup of coffee

"About two hours ago, how was your night dear?" I took the coffee.

"It was good." She peered over me.

"Who punched Theo?" I looked back to make sure they were all still out there before closing the kitchen door.

"Enzo." I replied. She nodded.

"Because you two hooked up this summer?" I spit my coffee back in the mug. She laughed.

"What? We- we did not-"

"Oh save it! You hardly wanted to come back from Italy."

"I was having fun!"

"In his bed!"

"Mum!"

"Minnie!"

"You're so weird."

"Is that why he punched him?" I rubbed my eyes.

"Kind of, he used some move on me he uses on girls and I told Enzo and Enzo lost it."

"He used a move?" I rolled my eyes.

"Yes and no. Look I cannot talk about this with my mum."

"Talk about what?" Dad asked as he entered the kitchen. We both went wide eyed.

"Nothing." We said together. Me and mum shared a look with a smile. He looked between us.

"Alright."

"Go get your friends up, we need to head out soon." Mum shooed me as she went to work brewing more coffee. I sulked out of the kitchen.

"Oi! Brekkie and coffee let's go." I ordered, it was received with multiple groans and a few "go fuck yourselves."

"Morning, bug." Enzo croaked out. I smiled.

"Morning." He got up and walked past me to the kitchen.

"Morning, Princess." Theo said as he stretched. I smiled. He left for the kitchen as well. Pansy looked at me.

"Don't expect a cute good morning from me." I laughed and helped her to her feet. "So when are you gonna realize they're both madly in love with you?" Mum popped her head out.

"Do these two need to be separated?" She whispered. I shook my head. She went back to the kitchen. I saw dad dicing fruit while she made pancakes.

"They're not." I told Pans. She nodded.

"Clearly, not today." He nudged Blaise with her foot. "Oi! Loverboy, wake up." He flipped her off. Harry popped up next and went to the kitchen without a word. Pansy pulled Blaise off the floor with no grace. I laid down next to Matty.

"Matty." I sang. He groaned. I did it again.

"I'll hex you."

"When I'm being so nice as to offer you coffee?" He opened one eye.

"Did your mum make it?" I nodded. He stretched and got up.

"You have gotten yourself in quite the predicament." He told me as he wrapped an arm around me.

Most kids loved getting on the train for the school year. It meant freedom, waving goodbye to mum and dad at the platform. Not for me. Mum and dad got on the train with me. Mum and dad went to school with me. Granddad and nan took care of the house and Vega while we were at school so they could live there.
