Today is the day.

I love it here but I miss Hogwarts.

I miss it's big unexplored corridors and rooms.

More importantly, I miss it's library. It's library isn't filled with muggle books like mine. It's filled with magic. Knowledge beyond measure.

I get up from my bed and wake up Kronos by accident.
He whines a little as if telling me not to move.

"Sorry big boy, we need to get going soon" I said petting his head gently.

I walk to my closet and put on a light dress. I brushed my teeth and went to the dining room with Kronos trailing behind.

"Good morning, darling" said my Dad without looking up from his notebook that he brings everywhere. He writes his plans and stuff for his work in it.

I walk over and kiss his cheek, then sit next to my mother.

"Good morning, Junie" she said and kissed my cheek.
I took some of the French Toast that Mrs. Ferraro made and poured myself tea.

"Are you going this morning or tonight?" Asked Mom looking up from her book. Like me she's a huge book worm.

I looked at her and said,

"I haven't decided yet, I'm thinking of going in an hour. Peter isn't here today is he?"

"No, he had some urgent business to attend to in London. I will take you today" said Dad.

"Alright, yeah I guess I should go sooner rather then later, I don't really have anything to do today, I'll be bored." I said with a shrug and continued eating my breakfast.

Mom stood up and walked over to Dad.
"I'm going to get ready for the meeting" she leaned over and kissed him catching him by surprise and smiled as she walked out the door leaving him flustered.

"Dad? When did you guys get Married?" I asked.

"Well, your Mother was 18 I belive, just finished school. I was 22. Why?"

"Don't you think she was a little young? I mean, you guys could've done so much rather than have a kid right away."

Dad looked up,

"Of course, but we were so in love. I don't think we could've waited any longer." He looked up as if looking into the past.

"Did you guys move in here after the Wedding?" I asked.

"Yes, your grandparents passed away already, I was the first in line to inherit this place. This manor has been in our family for as long as anyone can remember." He said proudly, opening up a newspaper.

"Right."

"Peter began working for us a few months after our wedding, I think. Young lad, a little on the poor side.

Me and your mother pitied him. We gave him a place to stay and a job. You joined us in your Mom's womb two years later." He said drinking his coffee.

"I better freshen up" I said and got up.
Kronos and Precious (the abnormally large cat) were clawing at each other again.

"Break it up!" I said loudly, making Kronos immediately stop.

"Let's go" I walked back to my room.

I sat at my piano and Kronos sat under it.

My hands softly positioned over the keys and I started playing china girl.

I remember Peter forced me to learn the piano. He loved it so much that he wanted me to learn it too. He used to play me rock songs and I'd sing along, getting all the lyrics wrong.
