That Sunday morning Belle skipped breakfast and was packing her bag, emptying it and then repacking it repeatedly to make sure she had everything she needed. Her hands were shaking and her her heart racing. She didn't know why she was this nervous, it was only Fred, George and Lee. (Not to mention the majority of thirds years and above, along with many staff, including her father in caution of Sirius Black). Enoch had eaten and came up to Belle's room to see if she was okay, well more like stand against the door his arms and legs crossed, watching her with his usual moody face. "If you're that worried remember you can back out." He said with no tone in his voice.

Belle spun around to face him, "I am only nervous because I haven't seen them in over a month and we had only just become friends then, the rest of the school have made up ludicrous rumours about my departure and the majority will be in that small village and I stick out like a sore thumb with my Goddamn hair that I want to shave off because it is bloody annoying and I hate the colour but that would bring more attention to me because of the blue stubble that would be there and-and-fuck you." She rambled not taking a breath.

His eyes widened and looked at her in shock, "Sorry what?"

"I am so sorry!" She gasped, "When I'm nervous I ramble and when I ramble I get annoyed with myself but I can't control it and random stuff that I am meant to be saying in my head come out of my mouth like angry bees from a nest, or Hugh for that matter and I just can't stop myself and ugh, it's so annoying an-"

"Belle! You're doing it again."Enoch cut her off. "Like I said, if you want to cancel, nobody is forcing you to go." 

"I know," She sighed running a hand through her long hair, "I just-I want to go, I am just nervous."

"I'm sure you will be fine, now hurry up and pack your bag again, and get ready for your dad to pick you up," Enoch said and shoved her lightly towards her bag where it laid strooned across the bed in a mess.  "Or you could just not go." He murmured under his breath pulling a face. 

"What?" Belle asked.

"I had a tickle in my throat." Enoch lied rubbing his Adam's apple. Belle shrugged and placed the last item back in her bag just as Miss Peregrine called her down. The two exited Belle's room and descended the stairs to where Remus and the bird waited. 

"Wotcha!" Belle greeted. 

"Morning, are you ready?"Remus smiled his hands in his pockets. Belle nodded. "Right well then, we best be off." 

"See you later Miss P. Laters, Enoch." Belle grinned. Miss Peregrine nodded and Enoc raised his eyebrows and bowed his head slightly. Remus held out his hand for his daughter to take and once she had a tight grip on it, with a crack they disappeared into a whirling existence, soon landing by the Hogshead in Hogsmeade. "It feels good to be back here."

"I bet it does," Remus replied digging his hand into his pocket and bringing out ten galleons, "Now I know it's not much but, get something for yourself and have fun." 

"I can't take this." Belle shook her head waving him off.

"Nonsense, as my daughter, whom I haven't given anything for the last fifteen years due to circumstances, I think I should start now. Now, no buts take it."

Belle reluctantly let the coins drop into her hand and she nodded, "Thank you, Dad." 

Not realising what she said she placed the money into her pocket and looked up to see Remus' eyes wide and his mouth hanging open. "Y-you just called m-me-"

"I am so sorry!" She exclaimed, "I didn't mean to it just came out!"

Remus shook his head, "No it's fine if you want to you can call me that. It will just take me a while to get used to it."
