"Why must I accompany you to Uncle's?"
"Oh, come now, Zach.." Jemima gave her brother a look of disapproval as the boy stood by the doorway, indecently dressed before his sister. He was only clothed with a pair of boxers and a pajama shirt. "You're not even dressed yet!"
There was a scowl upon the boy's face as he was ushered up the stairs to his room, where he would get dressed. Zacharias loved his sister, he really did, but it was annoying whenever she'd rush him like this. Well, he was the one acting like a child. He was reluctant to go, and it was obvious. It had been a long time since he saw Uncle Adam, the father of his missing cousin Achaius. Their destination was the place where his cousin was born and raised, and left to live on his own, and...
When Zacharias finished dressing, he met with his sister outside. His neighborhood -- the Crup's Tail in Peebles, Scotland -- was not as busy as Diagon Alley, but that was what he liked about it. Jemima was looking up at him, giving him one of those affectionate sisterly looks. "Ooh, your hair's a mess.."
"It's usually like this," Zacharias said, digits running through strands of straw blonde. Within a few moments, both were no longer standing in front of Zacharias's flat. Their forms materialized in an instant , producing a loud smack of air molecules. Apartments squished together were replaced by a vast sea of grass, and the melodious sounds of neighing rang through the air. This was Flying Horse Smith, an establishment that was currently being run by his Uncle. Amongst the ranches that kept the flying horses in their place was a mansion. It was a mansion that didn't feel as welcoming as it used to.
Jemima offered Zacharias a reassuring smile before giving the door a few knocks. The door eventually opened, and the Hufflepuff siblings were greeted by a little House Elf. "Master Smith is not home right now, but Neigh can leave a message," she squeaked.
"Neigh's a stupid name," Zacharias said, receiving a sharp nudge for his thoughtless comment.
"You think," came a soft, jolly voice. Adam slowly made his way down the stairs, smiling. "Well, I'm home now... and, my, have you two grown..!"
"Sorry we didn't let you beforehand about visiting," Jemima said, moving past the House Elf to greet her uncle with an embrace. "We've come to tell you about something.."
We? Zacharias raised a brow.
"You see," Jemima continued, "There's going to be a Carnival that Hogwarts is hosting...."
Yes. They've come to convinve their Uncle to bring a couple of his lovely horses to the Fair..
