"You got everything you need, love?" her elderly grandma asked. She was perched at the front door watching Annora.
"Yes, ma. I'm 100% sure." she nodded at her grandma.
"Well, if you do need anything be sure to owl us Ana." her grandfather came up behind his wife, wrapping his arm around her shoulders. He placed a light kiss on her forehead and she beamed up at him.

Annora hugged Maria just as tight. When she let go, she noticed that the two Ravenclaws had their hands intertwined.

Leah sat up shivering in her robes.
