Family... What words does that word bring to mind when you say the word. If you don't know then do this for me...Say family out loud... Go on... Now name the first thing that popped into your head after you said the word. Now if that word is good, bad, or has nothing to do with them I want you to say Family is_ and then say the word...okay good. Now just think about that... And never forget it even if it changes...

The sun woke Sky as it rose over the hills. It was the last day until Drake and Sky would be heading to Hogwarts, but the clock still ticked by slowly. Sky walked down stairs and smiled.
"Hi Dad!"
He looked up from his paper. "Hi kiddo!
"Don't you have work?"
"They gave me the day off,"
"Well that's great! We can spend the whole day together!"
"Well actually I have some paperwork to finish, but after I promise we can do whatever you want,"
Without saying another word he walked into his office and a lock could be heard. Sky looked down at her food. Did he really not want to see her? It was the first time in three weeks since he had seen her and now locking himself in a office was his way of repaying her?
Drake stumbled down the stairs and sat down."Why are you so gloomy this morning?"
"Dads home,"
"That's why you sad because dads home? Wow I thought you would be prancing around the house,"
"He is in his office,"
"I still don't understand,"
"He locked himself in his office,"
"Oh I see you wanted to spend the day with him. You see sis he won't come out for about a hour, that's when he refills his coffee, when he is doing that try to convince him to hang out. It worked for me. And remember he needs to get his work done don't be disappointed if he doesn't have time to play only be disappointed if he doesn't want to play,"
Sky smiled and finished her breakfast. Now all she need to do was wait a hour for her dad to come out. She read the clock: 7:20
She had to wait to 8:20? To you that's no problem but for Sky it felt like forever.
"Hey sweetie,"
"Oh hey mom,"
"How long have you been out here?"
"About thirty minutes,"
Sky's mother looked her in the eyes. "You want me to get your dad?" Sky nodded and followed her mother to her father's office."Mark sweetie?"
"Yes?"
"It's been three weeks since you have seen  the children! They want to spend time with you!" Sky's mother almost shouted in rage.
"I know it's just I'm busy,"
"Busy with what?"
"Well...um...work,"
"Unlock the door,"
Foot steps could be herd and the a click. The office door opened. Sky's mother walked in and closed the door behind her. Sky couldn't help putting her ear against the door.
"I don't understand stand why your stalling,"
"It's just I don't want them to be mad at me,"
There was a long pause.
"Well okay,"
---------------------------------------------------------------------
The rest of the day was spent waiting for children's father to come out of his office... But he only came out once.
Night soon came and Sky was forced to go to bed.
"Mom can I please say goodnight to Dad?"
"Um... no your father has already gone to bed,"
"But...fine,"
Sky's mother kissed her on the head and turned of the lights. Sky stared at the ceiling, tears streamed down her face. Not only did her father not want to see her, but he wouldn't see her for mouths.
----------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning Sky and Drake said goodbye to their father and headed to the train station. Elliot was crying the whole way and Caden was cheering.
Sky was getting super nervous, what if she didn't make any friends? She was also wondering what house she would be in. In felt like millions of butterflies where flying around in her stomach.
"You alright Sky?" Drake asked.
"No..,"
"Um ok then,"
"Here we are!" Sky's mother said driving up to the station.
When they got inside Sky looked around.
"You said we were going to Platform 9 3/4?"
"Yep that's right!" A young girl walked up beside Sky.You just need to go through the wall and you will be there in no time!"
"Through a what?" Drake asked.
"Come on!" and with that she ran.
