Cue the dramatics.

"Oh, Fifi!!" Emmerson threw her hands atop the table, forlorn and in obvious distress. "The shopping was fun at the start but now I get the feeling Mummy really will send me off come September!" It was the greatest travesty yet.

"We've gotten almost everything on the list now and Grandpa says he doesn't think she's joking. I don't know how much more tears I have left in me." But it was beginning to feel like a fool's errand. Tears, while effective on others, seldom worked on her mother, frustratingly enough. "What do I do?"

"Oh, Emm," Phoebe mimicked Emmerson's posture, although she was smiling at the dramatics. That sort of drama was good for Kizzy - kept things exciting - but Phoebe was her own drama. She didn't need more of it. "I think going to Hogwarts will be good for you. It might even be fun. What's the worst that can happen?"

And if Emm didn't go, then Kiz would be miserable. And if Kiz was miserable, then Teddy would be miserable. And if they were both miserable... that might ruin Phoebe's year. So Emm not coming to Hogwarts would directly impact Phoebe's inability to have a good year. No dice. Emm was going, no matter what. "I might come and pack you in my trunk."
