It was two days before Zach went back to Hogwarts to continue his study in magic. Zach was packing his things in his room because his mother told him so. It was just his mother's thing to teach her kids to be discipline. He held a list paper he just wrote two days before.

Zach started to prepare all things he listed and began with the clothes. He walked toward his cupboard and took some clothes: uniforms, formal wear, casual wear, sleepwear, and sportswear (some that had been bought by his grandpa) then lined those up on his bed. He saw the list again and went back to the cupboard to take his plain robes and winter cloak then also lined those up on his bed. He walked toward his desk to take protective gloves and a pointed hat. He also saw some books over there and decided to take it one go, including the quill and some bottles of inks.
Walking toward the bed with a full hand, Zach looked very funny and ridiculous. His mother, Yarnitia, saw him doing that and could not help but sigh and took some of it, helped Zach brought his things to his bed.
"Thank you, Mom," Zach said.
"How is your preparation? Do you need help from me?" ask Yarnitia to Zach.
"All is well, Mom. Safe and sound. I just need to take my shoes and perfect. Wait for a second," he went outside the room to take the running shoes from his grandpa and placed it beside the bed. Yarnitia also went out to take something and came back before Zach.
"Now it's time to pack," Zach said.
"You have so many things to bring to your school," Yarnitia said. Zach agreed with her. There were too many things he must bring with him. "Actually I have some things for you." Yarnitia showed him a backpack, a satchel, a camera, and a bottle of unknown liquid. Zach was shocked when saw those things. "Last year, I asked some parents what things I should buy for the student when we were going to Diagon Alley and they told me some things that might help you, making things easier for you, and some fun. They are very kind and even offered me a help to buy things that I could not buy alone by giving them the list when I have done thinking," she said. She took the camera and the liquid and gave it to Zach, "Electronics do not work there, right? But this camera can work. They leave the instruction in the box and also gave the solution. I hope this will help you killing times and having fun there." Zach took to them with indescribable feelings. "The next is for storing things. They said that these backpack and satchel are enchanted so they have bigger space inside. The backpack is for packing and the satchel is for your daily. Try it," she said.
Zach took it excitedly and started to pack his things on his bed. He put the things in this backpack one by one. All of the things had been inside the backpack. There were still his uniform and plain robe and he put it inside the enchanted satchel. The camera and the solution were also inside the satchel.
"Thank you so much, Mom."
"A-a-ah! Don't thank me yet. I still have one thing for you. It was sad we can not celebrate your birthday together because you are still in school. So this is my birthday gift for you." Yarnitia pulled a box with a handle. Zach was curious about what was inside the box. His mom opened it and there was a cyan typewriter. "It is Tyty, my old typewriter. I have fixed it so you can bring it to school. You used to use and like a computer so much but you can not have a computer there. So, I hope this thing may help you to fight boredom and write anything you like."
Zach hugged his mother. His tears went down from his eyes to his chin.
"Thank you so much, Mom," he said.
Yarnitia stroke his boy's head and said, "I hope you are doing well there." Zach could not say anything but nod. Zach put it inside his backpack. After he finished packing his things, Zach and his mother went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare dinner. His siblings also helped them make the dinner and they had a happy dinner at the last of the day.
