Elliot had had about ENOUGH of her aunt to last a LIFE TIME. And if Aunt Delilah didn't shut her trap soon, Elliot would be sure to strangle her. She had made the incredible mistake of wearing her down and wavy, something her aunt LOVED. She kept touching her hair...and Elliot was THIS CLOSE TO SLAPPING HER.

"Stop it! Can I go now?" she asked harshly, scowling as her Aunt grinned down at her. Why was she grinning? DID ELLIOT LOOK IN THE MOOD?

Delilah chuckled and shook her head. She patted Ell's shoulder. "No...you have to wait...it's not exactly time yet, is it? We're a bit early, dear," the older woman said, looking down at her niece and was reminded remarkably of her brother. Her haughty attitude, her scowl. it was all Darius. She wished her brother could have been here...she was quite certain Elliot was upset about neither of her parents coming to see her off. But her sister-in-law had to go with Dani, it being Dani's first year at Beauxbatons...

Elliot rolled her eyes. "Fine." She hoped she at least saw Hannah...or...perhaps that boy, Ezra. She scanned the heads of all the people here...most looked like muggles. Even Elliot was sporting a pretty dress..no sign of her favorite blonde friend. OR Laura and Soaps, which was good as well.
