Thank you all! It's been so hard for me as I could do nothing over the summer at all! So angering! But I'm back now! I'm hopefully over the last of my writter's block is over for this story. During the writer's block I wrote another story. An entire book with pictures. Please go ahead and read it. Chapters may come a little faster but not like three a day like before. Sorry. Thank you all!

"Mommy?" Martha pulled on Elisabeth's shirt.

Elisabeth wiped tears from her eyes. "Oh, hey, sweetie! I was just..." Just crying my eyes out.

"Why are we leaving Mommy? Are we leaving cause of me?"

Elisabeth picked up Martha shaking her head. "What? No... No sweetie. It's because, your daddy did something I didn't like. We're going to stay at a school that a friend of mine teaches at. You'll be able to learn to be a witch there and cast spells... and we'll come back here every summer." Lis could feel the tears welling up again. She didn't want to leave but this was something that had to be done. Dracula can't learn if there aren't consequences and the consequences of what he has done is he won't see his kids or wife half the year. Elisabeth wasn't very happy about it either but it had to be done. "You'll be happy there."

"I'm...I'm happy here."

"Wait till you see Scotland. It's even better than here. There are so many kids there at the school who are like you." Martha was puzzled and Elisabeth quickly changed the subject. "Are you excited about your party?"

"Yeah. I was, I was worried that Wonder Woman wouldn't..."

"Hey, do you know who's coming to the party? Johnny's whole family! Grandpa Mike and Grandma Linda, and all your cousins and uncles who love you so much." Elisabeth looked at her phone. There was a message from her friend, Neville. All it said was 'Yes'. Good. "And my friend from Scotland is going to come and then he's gonna be with us when we move to Scotland!"

"Okay..."

"Why don't you go get ready for bed?"

"I didn't have dinner yet."

"Oh...I meant get ready for dinner.

Martha left as a suit of armor entered the room holding a bowl. "Madame, as you haven't had anything to eat all night... your husband made you this." The Suit of Armor handed Elisabeth a bowl of monster ball soup.

Elisabeth took it and started to cry as the suit of armor left. The monster balls started to cry as well.

I fixed my mistake. Sorry but as it was only just pointed out, I'm not the only Potterhead who thought Hogwarts was in England.
