Summer At Home (or not)  solo   closed

July 2nd
Blossom Manor was actually a nice and cozy home, however her parents were very strict, so they sometimes ruined the experience, with their "good" rules.

Hannah had spent her first day of Summer coming home. The train had taken long to come to her house. Sure, Hogwarts was in Scotland, but she had gone to London to meet her parents. They were both waiting for her.

Once she got to the mansion, she noticed the house was fuller, more maids. Then, the dogs. Hannah hadn't seen Wednesday and Tuesday since the beginning of the school year. She played with them, and they sniffed her a lot, they did recognize her, but were suspicious at the start. Hannah introduced Storm to her dogs. They didn't like her at first, but then started playing with her.

"Oh! And we've updated the pet room for Storm!" said her mother. "Oh! Thanks mom, you didn't have to. I think I'm gonna head to my room.
she said. "Alright sweetheart. Go ahead!" "Welcome back!" said her father.

She indeed went to her room, and wanted to change to comfier clothes. She did, but when she opened her closet, she noticed it was fuller, full of new clothes. That's when she thought Oh! That's why mom asked my clothing size! Her bag wasn't unpacked yet, but it was in her room.

The girl headed to the music room, to practice some violin, Hannah spent many minutes practicing, well at least it seemed like minutes. Then, a maid, one of the new ones (she hadn't recognized her) walked in. "Hello Hannah! My name is Mabel. Your mother asked me to tell you that dinner is served." "Thank you Mabel, I'll be coming soon." she told her. The maid walked out. Most of the maids here were Squibs, but there were some pure-bloods, half-blood, and muggle-borns. Her parents didn't tolerate elves.

Hannah headed down to the dinning room. Food was all over the table. She sat down, then her parents asked her about Hogwarts, she told them about some of the school. Quidditch, friends, classes, etc. Then, everyone was done with dinner. The good thing about her arrival's dinner was dessert, she almost never had dessert at home, and today it was her favorite, pudding.

After dinner, she went to the observatory, to do some stargazing. Hannah stayed a few minutes in the observatory, she saw a lot of stars, the night was quiet and peaceful, great for observing stars. It was nice being at home after so long.

It was finally 09:08 PM, and Hannah decided to head to her room and get ready for bed. She put on her pyjamas and wrote in her journal, and read a bit. It was getting late, so she went to sleep.

July 8th
It had been exactly seven days, or a week since Hannah came back from Hogwarts. The time she had spent at home was boring. The girl had spent most of her time at the library of her home or at the garden. The girl liked these two places.

It came to her surprise when, her mother entered the library, while Hannah was reading, and she started reading. It seemed like she hadn't noticed the eleven year old, but somehow, Hannah knew she had.

Then her mother closed her book. She didn't say anything, but then, Hannah broke the silence. "You usually don't read, not in here at least." she said, possibly something bad to say, but her mother turned around to look at her. Hannah was in the second floor, her mother was in the first floor. "I have gotten into reading since you were gone. It is quiet. Plus, the house has been so quiet since you were gone... I thought I'd try something new." "You don't mind, do you?". She did, but just a little, the girl liked to be alone in the library. No, I don't. she responded. "Alright. Once you are done reading, me and your father have a surprise." Hannah grinned, she did like surprises.

"Alright." she said. Her mother left her alone. Hannah read for a few minutes, then, once she was done reading, she left the library. A paper was on the floor. Hannah picked it up
Meet me at the living area ~Mom
It said. She followed the instructions.

There was her mother, smiling at her. "Good. I thought you'd never come." "Well, I'll tell you the surprise then. Your cousins are coming from America." Hannah screamed. Oh. My. Goodness. Are they coming now? Gosh! I'm so excited!" "Yes, they were supposed to be here already, but traffic, you know." The girl nodded. Then, she looked down, she was in her pyjamas. "I'll go change."

She went to her room and changed to proper clothes

"You look great. I love that dress." her mother said, without even looking at her. It was a new dress, that her mother had picked out. She wore white sandals on her feet, they fit her perfectly.

She sat down beside her mother, and her mother started playing with her hair. Then, she did her hair.

"Oh." she mumbled, hoping her mother wouldn't hear.

Then, the doorbell rang. They were there. "Oh my gosh. I'll get it." she said, running to the door. Her mother followed her, and her father, was in his office, but would probably come down soon.

Then, she opened the door. "Oh gosh! Welcome!" said the girl. Hannah saw her uncle, and her two cousins. "Hi!" said the girl. They went inside. Her father appeared, and started talking to his brother, her uncle. "My name is Hannah, you must be Sarah!" "Yeah! That's me." They walked over to the living area. "I'm so glad to finally meet you!" "Me too!" the girl's brother, Matthew, went to his room. They chatted for a while, and got to know each other better. Might I ask you a question?" said Hannah. "Of course! You've asked tons already!" "I know, but, where is your mother? Did she stay home?" Sarah frowned "I did not intend to make you upset, you don't have to answer.." "It's fine.. My mother passed away when I was four years old, I didn't really know her, but..." she stopped. "I'd rather not talk about it." she said. "It's okay."

The day passed away quickly, once everyone was done with dinner, they headed to their rooms, Hannah asked Sarah if she wanted to sleep in her bedroom, and that a maid could prepare a mattress for her, but she denied, maybe talking about her mom was the motive.

Then, Hannah fell asleep thinking about this.

July 11th
Hannah had no idea where they were going, but when she woke up, her bags were packed.

She quickly got dressed, and headed downstairs.

"Good, you're finally up." said her father. She nodded "Good morning. Father, mother. Sarah, Matthew, and Uncle." they all smiled. She sat down at the chair. Hannah ate her breakfast quietly, her father talked to his brother about business.

After all of them were finished, Sarah called Hannah. "Are you ready?" "To do what?" she asked. "To go to Mexico?" "Didn't you know?" "Nope." she said. "Well, let's get your bags and go."

They then headed to Hannah's room. Sarah waited outside, she did not come inside. Hannah came out of the room, with a suitcase and a backpack.

The girls headed downstairs, everyone was outside. They would be traveling by broom. She saw the brooms outside. They were both late.

They traveled quickly, and got there in an hour. Sarah, Matthew and Hannah shared a broom. Once they got there, the family grabbed their bags, and headed to the hotel room. Her parents stayed in a room together, her uncle shared a room with Matthew. Hannah shared a room with Sarah, they talked inside the room. "So, do you like someone at Hogwarts?" "Um. No, why?" "Because. I know I do." "WHO!?!" "His name is this is not a real player, I checked "His name is James Gregoney" "He's so cute!" "Oh my gosh! I'm sure he likes you too." Hannah smiled.

Then, Hannah's mother came inside the room. "Girls, do you want dinner?" Hannah nodded, and Sarah said "Yeah, sure, I'm pretty hungry." After a few minutes, dinner arrived, they both ate.

After eating, they changed into their pajamas. Hannah's bed was on the left side, Sarah's was on the right. They wanted to go to bed so, they turned off the lights. "Good night." Sarah spoke. "Good night.", they both slept after saying "Good night."
