Ready for the Weekend (Three Broomsticks)

[Jacob King]

"Thank you," Carrie sat on the opposite side of the booth table and set her handbag next to her. "We've all been fine. Jacob's here too, just finishing our order at the bar. He took us on a little family vacation here. Hunter joins us for the weekend and if there's any tickets left next week we will take Hogwarts Express back to London with him," she explained as she took off her scarf and coat.
"Effie, do you think I can go inside the castle when we take Hunter back on Sunday evening?" Freya asked as she removed her mittens, looking at the young woman as just now she realised maybe a staff member would know what her parents had not been sure of. Jacob would be picking the boy up from the gates tomorrow but there had not been any established plan for the return other than that he would not let th 11-year old walk back to school by himself late at night as he wasn't exactly familiar what this area was like at those times.
