"I can't wait to see everyone again!" Eleana's face split into a grin as they pulled into platform 9 3/4. "Well you won't have to wait long, grab your stuff and we can floo to the American ministry where Argus will pick us up to take us back to camp." Jake handed everyone their bags as he spoke, ushering them out of the train. "Do we have everything?" Cassiopeia checked only going through the floo when everyone had ensured that nothing was left behind.

"Greetings misses and sirs, how can we help you today." A lady enquired as the children emerged from the fireplace. "Greetings we're just passing through." Alex nodded to the woman before following after his siblings who were making a beeline for the exit. "I'm so excited to see Ann, Grover, Clarisse, and the others again." Kira smiled as Argus pulled up in front of them, opening the car doors to let them in. The ride was about an hour, of which the children spent the whole time informing Argus of everything that happened while they were away. "We're here!" Argus informed once again opening the doors for them. "Thank you." Each of them bowed slightly as they grabbed their bags before making their ways to their cabins. "We should talk to Chiron and Mr D." Cassiopeia reminded as she used magic to sort all of her possessions back into place, Jake just hummed in reply before exiting the cabin and walking up to the big house, "we're back!" He called out as he entered, all his other siblings already there and waiting, "we're going to go greet everyone, if you need us, try not to." Jake gave a sarcastic smile before turning on his heel and leaving, neither Chiron or Mr D where shocked by the lacklustre greeting. "Annie!" Cassiopeia called out tackling the girl into a hug, "it's so good to see you, where's everyone else?" She stepped away from the girl. "Hi Cassy, good to see you too, come on I'll take you to see everyone we have so much to catch up on!" Annabeth gushed as she dragged Cassiopeia away from her siblings who just let it happen, splitting up to go find their own friends. "Clarisse, Grover, Will, Conner, Travis!" Cassiopeia yelled when she saw them all together. "Cass!" They all chorused back, "how are you, shorty?" Clarisse ruffled the blondes hair as she threw an arm over her shoulder. "I'm good, we have so much to discuss." She answered.
"To the lake?" Conner quirked an eyebrow.
"To the lake." Cassiopeia confirmed as she sprinted off in the direction of the lake with the others running after her. "No fair you cheated." Will huffed as he took a seat on the sand beside her. "So tell us everything." Grover implored with a nod, and so she did, she told them everything from the inheritance to the mirror and the Cerberus, to Dumbledore's schemes, to Yule ball, and even about the Crown Court, inviting each of them to be part of it. "Yeah we announced it at Kira's birthday ball, it was beautiful." Cassiopeia tilted her head. "Tell us." Annabeth whined tugging on Cassiopeia's arm lightly. "Ok, ok stop pulling." Cassiopeia soothed as she hugged the mahogany skinned girl and began to think back to the event.

"So what are we going to do for Kira's birthday, it has to be amazing?" Eleana started slumping against Alex's back. "Well obviously we'll have masks on again but the guests don't need to, it should be purple themed, that's her favourite colour after all. We could do it in one of the manors, maybe Peverell manor?" Jake suggested as he stared up at the ceiling, they had gathered in Cassiopeia's bedroom while Kira was busy in the library trying to cram for a test she had coming up. "Yeah that's a start, ohh there needs to be crystals, but remember we also have to announce the Crown Court thing as well, maybe we do that just before or after we eat. Also food wise she loves plumbs and sea food so lobster surf and turf with steak and salad, then we do a plumb dessert?" Cassiopeia recommended trying to think of what would best suit Kira. "That would be great, then use peonies and hydrangeas for the bouquets, clothing wise, she would prefer a suit and I don't think full hall gown would fit the occasion so maybe less poofy dresses, than a ball gown, and suits, we should do purple and gold as the dress code." Alex stated as he braided Eleana's hair. "Oh that would be so beautiful, we just need to find the clothes and arrange everything." Eleana clapped her hands happily at the image she had of the ball. "Perfect, I'll get to work on the clothes and flowers, Jake can you arrange the foods, Alex can you do invitations and Eleana can you work on decorations?" Cassiopeia listed off all their tasks, "brilliant, let's get to work."
