Isabell and Hermione didn't speak to each other for the rest of the summer. Sure when their parents came they pretended to have friendly conversations but usually, the air was tense when the two girls were together. Bella and Jackie tried bringing them together, but, it was useless. Despite their quarrel, Isabell couldn't help but feel jealous of Hermione, she got everything: Good grades, friends, probably not needing to stand on her toes to reach the bedroom window, and now she was going to go to a school for witches and leaving her behind. Every time Isabell glanced at the unpacked suitcase Hermione was going to take to Hogwarts, she could feel a pang of jealousy. What did Hermione have that she didn't? But the jealousy got the better of her the night before Hermione's departure an idea struck Isabell, if she would go in her twin's suitcase and get carried to Hogwarts, she surely would get to go. She didn't need to worry about not fitting, at least not as much as her sisters would. Out of all the Grangers sisters, she was the oldest but the smallest and reached all their chests. She knew she was light enough to not let Hermione struggle against the weight of the suitcase. Without even thinking, Isabell leaped out of her bed and headed towards Hermione's bed, the suitcase was perched against the foot of her bed. Quietly, Isabell slipped into the suitcase. Clothes were folded neatly in one part and the books were stacked with care on the other side. There was only one spot left that Isabell knew her sisters would struggle to fit- all of them except her. Silently, she snuck into the extra space and tried to make herself as compact as she could and after many tries, closed the suitcase so that in the morning nothing would look suspicious. _____________________________________________ "Bella, Jackie! Me and your mother are going to drop Hermione off at the train station. Isabell's gonna take care of you while we're gone!" "Alight!" Isabell woke up with a start, she tried to sit up but then she remembered that she was in a suitcase. "'Mione, where's Isabell?" "She's sleeping!" Hermione's voice came from outside of the suitcase "Alright, Bella, wake her up after 5 minutes alright?" "Ok!" Suddenly, the suitcase Isabell was hiding in was being lift up and the muffled sound of struggling came. "Hermione, did you remember packing this much?" Their father, Richard Granger's, voice came. "Not that I know of" Hermione's confused voice said "Oh well, next year, pack less" "I'll make sure" Isabell felt the jolt of the suitcase thrown into the car. She was going, she was actually going to Hogwarts.
