Looking around the platform Arya saw her family looking at her. She could tell her mom was also teary eyed as her dad stood comforting her. Noah was holding Annie and Peter stood beside him holding on to his leg."See ya later alligator!" She wiggled her fingers under her chin to Noah, fighting back to tears as she blew a kiss to her parents and younger siblings."After 'while, crocodile!"Noah said as he wiggled the fingers of his free hand back at his sister,grining as he winked at her. Arya's mom blew a kiss back as her dad waved smiling at his little girl, the twins both blew big kisses to there big sister as they too began to cry.
Unable to tear herself away from her family's gaze, as she knew this was the last time she would see any of them for a few months, she stood there until the train finally pulled off and her family was no more than tiny specks. Sitting down Arya pulled the candy from the trolly out of her pokets deciding on what to eat first."I'm gonna miss my family..."
Even after her mother had turned into a speck Allison looked out the compartment windows. It was the first time ever that Allison would be away from her mother. Surely her mother would send the old cat or owl with letters, but it wouldn't be enough.
Biting her lower lip Allison gave Perseus one last hug and let him run towards Arya. After a long uplifting sigh, Allison managed a small smile and attacked her bunny bag.
"Of course you are. It's going to be quite odd without them." Laughing Allison opened her bag and her eyes widened. Her mother had smuggled family muggle chocolates into her pack.
"Unbelievable." Shaking her head she grabbed one and threw it at Arya,
"Think fast!" giving Arya a big smile Allison then proceeded to opening her own. It was a plus to be kin to the family owning part of the
Ferrero Rocher company. She always got an unlimited amount of chocolates. And the one's the company made were her favorites.
"My mum and I had a tradition. Every morning she'd tickle me to wake up...and then we'd each share one of these chocolates. Then when we finished we'd say, '‘oh misseur, with this ‘ferrero rocher’ you’re really spoiling us!' " Allison broke into giggles.
"It's funny because that was what this weird French lady would say in the commercial...and she was sooo funny." She couldn't stop laughing at such a trivial thing. Perhaps Arya wouldn't get it, but that one little line always made her day. And now without it...it would be a long year.
"I wonder what's taking them so long," Allison thought out loud.
