It's been months, James and I have been at war until we decided to join forces and bring hell upon Hogwarts, Him, Fred, Frey and I have been the parking squad of the school, most of the pranks were James and me, we have grown very close over the past few months, and now I'm on the train to go meet my parents, because finally it's Christmas and I get to see my mother and make sure she's okay. Sure I've been calling her every night, but it's not the same as actually seeing her.

I was in a compartment, with James, Fred, Louis, Claire, and Frey, Sydney was with her roommates in a compartment. Us and Sydney have drifted apart but we're still friends, Zach stayed at Hogwarts, he's my best guy friend in Slytherin.

"You're all coming to my family's New Years party right?" James asked. I knew I wouldn't be able to go, because I want to take care of my mother for as long as I'mm staying, and I wouldn't be able to make up a lie for my father. 

Everyone said yeah, and sure, everyone except me. "James, I'm sorry I don't think I'll be ablr to make it," I said with a sad face. 

"But Ella, my parents wanted to meet you." he pleaded.

"And I wanted to meet them too, and you of all people know how much I wanted to meet my family." I told him, siince he knows of I'm a huge Potterhead. "I'll try James." I lied, "But I won't promise you anything" I told him, but that phrase seemed to satisfy him since there was a chechiree grin eating his face that made me chuckle.

"What?" He asked innocently. 

"Nothing," I mumbled, but I still had a smile on my face.

"Goodbye mates, see you after-" James scolded me with his eyes, "Over, the break". We all laughed then we parted ways. I had to get off the platform before my driver came to pick me up.

"Hello, Jonathan." I greeted my driver.

"Welcome home miss Ella," said Jonathan closing the door after giving me Persephone. "A new friend I see." He was talking about Persephone.

"Yes, Jonathan, her name is Persephone, just like the goddess," I explained as he got into the driver's seat.

"A nice choice." He said, because my fatheer lovees Greek Mythology, I thought this would impress him, but oh darling was I wrong. 

I entered my home, straight into my mother's arms, the first thing I felt was how drastically she has lost weight, I wasn't hugging my mom, I was hugging a sack of bones, then she stepped away giving me a full look at her, she looked dead, her eyes were hollow, black and lifeless, feeling her is one thing, but seeing how sinny she is, I almost didn't recognise her, she was so skinny and looked very unhealthy, her voice was hoarse, and she looked tired, but she'll never admit it. 

"Let's eat shall we?" was the first thing I said to her. 

"Yes, and tell me all about your school." She said. 

 We sat around the table in the living room watching 'how I met your mother'. My mother had the maids prepare me my favorite dish which is a mushroom sauce steak and a salad, exquisite taste. We both ate and I made sure to talk to her even after we finish eating. 

"So tell me about this James." She said excitedly.

"Oh James and me are the perfect hell due, I swweaar I heard Slughorn saying those exact words 'I've created a hell duo' once when James and me succefully pulled a prank on a Ravenclaw who was annoying Claire. We dumped sticky icky looking annd smelling slime, that Frey, Fred, James and I have created from scratch, we got out thoose slime making video tutorials, then enchanted them to stink and stick for a week." I said proudly, " Of course it was my idea, I'm the mastermind behind most of our succesfull pranks." I said yet again beaming with happiness at the memory. I kept telling my mother stories about Hogwarts and the pranks we pulled. I introduced her to Persephone, and she loved her.
