•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•——————✧◦♚◦✧——————⋆•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•It was the day before the children would embark on their journey to Hogwarts. A day to make sure that all items were packed a day to celebrate one last time with family. And yet here was Helena accompanying her mother to the Drakes Residence. Even though Helena did not mind being at her Aunts and Uncles place of dwelling the golden haired girl always seemed a tad overwhelmed. From the cries of baby dragons that surrounded the manor from the chatter of her younger cousins playing.
It also did not help Helena was beyond terrified for school. Her father held high expectations for the girl to be sorted into Slytherin like the rest of the Rose family. But the young girl knew it did not do well to dwell on the future. She would do all she can to make her family proud.
As the mother daughter duo arrived at the Drakes residence Helena felt her stomach drop slightly. She was not sure how to feel at the exact moment.
The young girl examined the area quietly following her mother towards the door to the Drakes Manor.
Sea blue eyes darted forward awaiting for the large door to open. The young girl could hear footsteps running amok and chatter. The golden haired girl tried her best to stay calm in truth even her own family made the girl nervous and scared at times. But at the same time Helena was excited to see a certain young boy that she grew attached to. After all one has that one family member they are close to and for Helena that was Ulysses.
The golden haired girl couldn’t help but get slowly excited at the thought of her older cousin. Glancing upwards at her mother Helena began to smile a small excited grin. Inessa glancing downwards smiled gently at her daughter patting her gently on top of her tuft of golden hair.
Both mother and daughter seemed to await fort the doors to open to let the mother daughter into the Drake Manor.

Uly’s mother had packed and unpacked her eldest son’s trunk at least four times in the past four days, simply to double-check to ensure he had everything he needed for Hogwarts. It wasn’t his fault that dragon eggs continued to find its way into the nooks and crannies of his free storage space, it simply wouldn’t feel like home without his draconic friends joining him. She may have every dragon battle so far, but the war was far from over. Beatrice Drake, in typical form, casted quickly in mumbles into Ulysses’ room to help tidy it up. “ We’re expecting company, Uly. Go wash up and tell your brothers to do so as well.” With a long, drawn-out sigh, the young boy groaned as he peered out the window to yell for his brothers to hurry up and get themselves ready for guests! It usually meant uppity kids with no zest for life, but Uly always found a way to get the to loosen up. Bea made her way downstairs while the doorbell had rung, opening the large doors with a smile and a quick embrace for both Inessa and Helena. “ Nessa and Lena, thanks for joining us for a late lunch. We figured get together one final time before the kids head off to Hogwarts. Wow, how exciting for them. ” Ulysses’ mother was clearly excited while she reminisced on her own memories while at school. “ I’d apologize for Percy’s absence but, we know how my hot-headed husband can be. There was an emergency he had to deal with, something about a dragon making a nest in a hogwarts pitch or other. ” She gave Nessa a very-knowing look as greeted her sister-in-law with a smile and a slight touch on the shoulder while gesturing the grand staircase. " Uly's still in his room, if you'd like to go upstairs, probably trying to pack another dragon egg. Boys. Merlin just needed to give me three of them. " Nessa's hand guiding her niece if she wanted to ascend. If Helena would have chosen to meet Ulysses in his room, the young girl would have found Uly holding onto the bewitched broom that he received on his eighth birthday, mounting tightly as he kicked off and allowed himself a moment to hover and feel what anti-gravity felt like for the almost hundredth time. He knew moving forward the brooms he would receive would have to tap into his own magic to float, fly, or maneuver, and the thought scared and excited him. Ulysses was groomed to be a great wizard, a contributing member of society, and he had a wildfire burning within him of pure magic talent and energy. The only question would be if he could harness the force inside of him to do what he wanted, when he wanted to. |

•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•——————✧◦♚◦✧——————⋆•❅──────✧❅✦❅✧──────❅•Helena being ever so polite smiled kindly at her aunt after giving warm greetings. The golden haired girl felt a tad nervous as her nerves seemed to run slightly high. Smiling softly at the two older woman the young eleven year old girl trotted up the stairs heading towards a certain young boys room.
Helena being usually shy could not hold back the slight excitement she could muster. The young girl always seemed to be in the better of moods at her Aunt and Uncles, mainly because she did not have to worry much about her father going on about the young girl disappointing him once again.
Arriving at a certain someone's room, Helena knocked softly before gently nudging the door open, peaking her small heart shaped face in the doorway. The young girl noticed how the room looked different then her room back at the Rose manor. The young girl could not help but chuckle seeing her older cousin hovering on his bewitched broom.
Stepping forward Helena made her appearance known, clearing her throat slightly, smiling shyly over at the rather taller boy. Helena began to twiddle with her thumbs glancing over at the boy as he hovered wondering on the right words to speak and say towards the other known child in the room.
“Hello Uly. Getting into any trouble?”
Helena spoke softly gazing over at the boy that seemed to be hovering on his bewitched broom. Though many may find this a tad weird Helena was used to it. Ulysses always seemed a bit more outgoing compared to his younger cousin who tended to stay to herself. Though Helena did envy Ulysses bravery it made the young girl feel a bit powerless compared to him.
Helena was meek and scared of her own shadow practically, but it could not stop the fact that the young Rose girl looked up to her cousin. After all family is everything in a way is it not?

There was still a bit of time, right? Uly knew he was to get ready for Helena and such but he decided that one little spin around his room wouldn’t be the end of the world and he kicked off and went speeding until turning a corner and noticing Helena’s whole body inside his room causing the young man to tumble onto his bed and rolling until his body knocked itself into the wall. “ Merlin Lens, you nearly gave me a heart attack. How long you been standing there anyway? ” His fingertips nudged into his shoulder where he felt a little bit of pain as he quickly picked himself pack up and placed his broom on the stand before looking his dear cousin over once with a wicked smile and a desire to figure out what kind of nuisance he could force her into today. “ You know me, Mom keeps muttering on about practicing on being a well-behaved Slytherin and Dad keeps correcting her on we don’t know what house and only house is fine but that all seems like such bullocks, there’s a little sparkle in his eye every time he hears the word Slytherin. ” Uly couldn’t help but roll his eyes, he figured he might be placed in Slytherin as a legacy but he didn’t necessarily care too much on the semantics of what house he belonged to as long as he could learn magic and take to the skies. “ You getting any of that at your house? ” The boy was curious, Uly being the first cousin to Helena, their families sometimes had a little tension but they were blood at the end of the day. Uly offered the girl a seat, gesturing to the desk and chair that he often used to scribble on and the boy comfortably jumped himself into one of the bean bag chairs he had bewitched so it felt like a cloud. The two of them often times spent time in his room chatting so it wasn’t anything unusual. As he sat for a moment, he could feel a bit of nerves bubbling from how close Hogwrts had been for the both of them now that they were so close, but Uly hoped Helena would be the one to bring it up. After all, he knew that she only saw him as her brave and ambitious older cousin and he was trying to keep that going for him. |
