"James! Wake up! We're going to be late!" Jamie yelled from their bathroom, her voice slightly muffled by the toothbrush in her mouth.


"Ugh, what time is it?" he called back, sitting up in the mess of covers.


"It's ten o'clock and mum said we're leaving at half past!"


A groan could be heard from the bedroom as James pushed the covers off of him and stood up to go to the wardrobe.


"Jamie! James! Are you ready?" Fleamont's voice called from downstairs, "we're leaving in a bit!"


"Coming dad!" James called back as he came out of the wardrobe fully dressed in a burgundy t-shirt and jeans. Jamie stepped out of the bathroom in a matching, burgundy dress - her hair damp and falling to the bottom of her back.


"Ready?" Jamie asked.


"Ready," James responded, waving his hand slightly to dry her hair.


"Thanks. Lets go," Jamie said, the twins grabbing their trunks and cages, heading for the top of the stairs. They both waved their hands to lift the trunks and cages as they headed down the stairs.


"Come on guys, the earlier we get there, the better chance you'll have of finding an empty carriage," Euphemia said, grabbing James' hand and his trunk while he grabbed Tiger in his cage - Fleamont and Jamie doing the same - apparating to the platform.


"Come on!" Jamie said excitedly when they arrived on the platform, grabbing her trunk and running towards one of the train doors.


"Hold on Jam!" James called, grabbing his trunk and running after her - Fleamont and Euphemia trailing behind.

After placing their trunks and cages in the overhead compartment, the twins stepped off of the train to say their goodbyes.


"Now, both of you need to promise to behave, no pranks and no tricks," Euphemia said as she pulled the twins into a hug.


"We promise," the twins recited, crossing their fingers behind their backs with a smirk.


"Come here, the both of you," Fleamont said, pulling them into his arms.


"You need to remember not to use your...extra abilities," Euphemia warned.


"Of course mum," Jamie started.


"Only when we're on our own or with uncle Albie or auntie Minnie!" James finished.


"Goodbye, we'll see you at Christmas," Euphemia called over the loud whistle of the train.
