Sitting on the kitchen counter, her dangling legs swinging back and forth, Alicia Cruze's dark brown eyes scanned the room around her. Finally, after a week of leaving Hogwarts for the summer and not being with her friends, the best day of summer vacation had come. It was about time too. The fifteen-year old hopped off of the counter and checked the clock. Again.
Massie sniggered at her sister. "Relax Lic. It's not time yet. Eat," the younger girl insisted, gently tossing an orange to her sister. Mackayla giggled softly. "Yeah," the newly seven-year old piped up. She watched her oldest cousin sigh and peel open the orange.
"I know that. I'm just excited. You lot are lucky I'm not bouncing like a maniac," Alicia replied with a large grin. "Kayla, I'm really happy you'll finally get to meet Katie and Legend. Valencia's cousin Jae too. They're all you age," she added to her cousin.
Garret finally appeared, looking a mix cheerful and busy. "Hey, Alicia. Do you think I'll need to put the rug near the fireplace. Incase anyone is traveling by Floo Powder?" He saw his oldest daughter shrug her sholders. "I'll do it anyways," Garret said, making his way out of the kitchen and to the living room.
Alicia walked over to Massie and silently fixed the collar on her little sisters white button down shirt. She turned as she heard Kayla ask a question. "So what are we all going to do first tommorow morning? Swim, or mini-Quidditch game?" Mackayla asked. No one answered.
Mackayla grinned, making her face light up. "Well, if anyone wants my opinion, I think we should go swimming. It's hot outside. Too hot for Quidditch," she put in. Kay shrugged when Alicia folded her arms over her light blue hoodie. "I think it's a good idea," she mumbled softly.
"Maybe. Maybe not. It's up to the others and whatever happens tommrow," Garret said, entering the kitchen once more.
Massie and Alicia quickly exchanged glances. There was a very good chance that everything would be crazy enough, come tommrow, that it didn't really matter what was planned. "Uh, I think it might be best if we just let things go with the flow. Things can get pretty hectic during the summer gathering get-together thi-" Alicia was cut of by the sound of a doorbell ringing.
"Someone's here!" she squealed, her voice carrying down the hall as she ran towards the front door. She ignored the low chuckles that came from the kitchen. She rolled her eyes and waited for 'The Welcoming Commitee' to come.
