It was the day of the twins' fifteenth birthday, and they were walking back inside after a long walk around the neighborhood. When they got inside, they were immediately bombarded with questions from their aunt. "And where the ruddy hell have you two been all day! Not that I care, but if you're going to go missing for eight and a half hours straight, at least leave a note. And Jaqueline, what have I told you about wearing those ghastly boots everywhere? It's summer! There's no reason to wear boots in the hottest summer in three years!" Jaqueline looked down at her boots, moving her hair out of her face with her tattooed and ring covered hands.

Ms. Figg was a Squib, so she couldn't demonstrate magic, but she could teach it exceptionally well. As they walked up to their bedroom, the twins excitedly whispered about how fun it'd be to learn magic at a magical castle. "I want to see the stars, just lay down outside, and stare at the stars until I fall asleep. I bet the stars look so much cooler there. I bet everything is cooler there." She said dreamily as they entered their room. "I just want to play Quidditch. Seeker specifically." Harry replied. After dinner, the twins went back to bed, now upset that they still had an entire month until school started...
