Isabelle twirled for herself in front of the mirror. She was wearing a light green knee length dress, because she couldn't be bothered with her Hogwarts robes until she absolutely
needed to put them on. She stuck her tongue out at herself and smiled at her reflection. Her long brown hair hung around her head and her deep brown eyes shone happily back at her.
"Isabelle," her mom called from downstairs.
"Come on, it's time to leave for school!" Isabelle grabbed her trunk and thunked it down the stairs, until it came to a thud at the bottom.
"What are you wearing?" Her mother studied her with her pale green eyes. She took in her light green dress, her black and green flipflops and her single green glove. Finally she just rolled her eyes and motioned Isabelle out the door.
Isabelle put her trunk in the trunk and slammed it shut. Then she slid in to the passenger side seat and closed the door behind her. As her mom got in a backed out of the driveway Isabelle checked her watch; 10:15.
"Mom we have plenty of time." They had forty five minutes to get there and get on to the train.
"Relax, you don't have to be in a rush all the time." "I just don't want you to be late," came her mother's reply. But Isabelle disagreed with her; her mom always hurried things and always arrived early to everything. Isabelle, on the other hand, was usually late. She took her time and made sure fun came first. But sometimes, she needed to be serious.
"I won't be late," Isabelle said with an eye roll.
"Can we stop someplace and get some hot chocolate?" She eyes a Caribou Coffee and her mom sighed before pulling in to the drive-through.
"One hot chocolate and one cappuccino please?" She ordered and drove to the next window at the man's command. She paid for them and handed Isabelle her drink before taking her own. Then she rolled her window back up and continued driving to Kings Cross.
They arrived at quarter to eleven and Isabelle thought her mother looked anxious.
"Mom calm down," Isabelle said.
"We're not late." Her mom looked at her for a second before smiling.
"You're right Isabelle."
Isabelle got her trunk out of the trunk as she was thinking,
of course I'm right. She closed the trunk and the two of them walked into the station. Isabelle looked at the signs. Eleven, Ten, ah there it was, platform 9 and 3/4. Isabelle ran at it and went through the wall onto the platform, second later her mom joined her.
"Izzy, come here!" Isabelle looked over and saw one of her friends, Alyssa Munroe, running toward her.
"Izzy come on, let's go." She tugged on her arm and Isabelle smiled at her mom.
"Bye mom, love you." Then she ran off with Alyssa, to go wherever she wanted her to go. She didn't look back, but if she had she would've seen her mom looking at her with a worried expression on her face, holding her hand over her heart.
