Saiph

boggart

Sitting with the boys, I finally decide to head to bed. They wish me a good night. I listened for anyone to be awake but it seemed the adults had also gone to bed. I take a moment and stop by my dads old room. Surprisingly, I was able to get in.

I sit on his bed and look down at the papers. There were lists, notes, everything in between. I sigh as I start to put them neatly into a pile, one page in particular catches my eye.

It was a list written in messy handwritting. It said a few various locations and the word, locket. I look at it and stuff it in my pocket. I'd ask when I was sober. I was feeling the alcohol now, and it was freeing in a way.

Once the papers were sorted I walk over to the cupboard. I hadn't opened it yet, being preoccupied. I run my hand over the oak doors. I reach for the brass handles when I hear a bang from inside. I take a step back and realize I don't have my wand on me. I run out of the room quickly and lean against the door once it's shut.

Standing catching my breath Isee soemone walking up to me.

"Siaph?" the voice whispers trying to see in the dark.

"Charlie." I breath out.

He comes over and takes my hand and taking me to his and Bills room.

"What're you doing?" he asks me, clearly intoxicated. His words slurred a bit, but he still was the most attractive person I'd ever laid eyes on.

"Mmm. Nothing. Cleaning a bit." I say shrugging. I see Bill asleep adn I put my finger to my mouth and motion for him to come closer. He does and leans into me.

"Let's go downstairs." I tell him.

He nods noticing his brother fast asleep and leads me by the hand down the flight of steps we'd just come from. I stop in front of my dad's door and drag him into the room.

I light a candle and place it on the bedside table and point at the dresser.

"There was a bang just before. Scared me." I tell him.

He nods, "Probably a boggart. Nasty buggers."

He takes the seat next to me and looks at my face. I recognize the look to be the way he looked at me the night I'd met him.

"You know, Ilove you. You're pretty." Charlie says laying his head on my shoulder.

I giggle. "How much have you had to drink?"

"Enough, I know you did too. I saw the twins and you sneak off with a couple bottles." He says wagging his finger at me.

I pout and he pulls my body into his and gives me a tight hug. He held me as he tells me,"I'm so in love with you Saiph. I want you safe. I want you with me. I want you to be happy. If there's anything you need or I'm not doing right, tell me."

"Love, I'd live for you." I tell him as he backs away from me, our cheeks gently brushing.

"Merlin, this will be a long year. I know last year we wrote once a week but do you think we could do two times a week? I want to know how you're day is. Even if you're stuck in History of magic, daydreaming. Of me, of course." he tells me grabbing my hands.

"Of course." I giggle at his cuteness. This was a bit of a new side. He's sweet when he's drunk. He grabs my waist adn pushes me onto the bed. I see him shut his eyes and soon his breathing evens out. I watch him as I slowly let sleep over come me as well.

Waking up I find the bed empty. I yawn and feel a headache coming on. I shake my head and see that the wardrobe was wide open. Looking around I don't see anything suspicious so I decide to go get my clothing from my room I shared with the girls.

"Nice night?" Ginny asks as I enter the room.

"Yeah, actually. Charlie and I fell asleep in my dad's room. He caught me sneaking back here."I say feeling shy.

Ginny laughs and skips down the steps ahead of me. Pulling on my sweater and jeans, I look in the mirror. My hair was wild so I quickly pull it into a messy bun and head down the stairs.

I enter the room and notice everyone in chirper moods. Remus and Tonks sat next to each other, in thier own world. The twins were speaking with Charlieand Bill about some of their plans for their shop. Molly was fussing over her husband and the girls making sure they were eating. Ifeel a tap on my shoulder and notice Uncle Sirius pulling me into the kitchen.

"I know what you did last night." Sirius tells me.

I look at him confused. There were quite a few rules broken last night.

"You sneaking off with alcohol. Charlie told me he found you in your father's room." He tells me placing a hand on my shoulder.

Realizing I'd still had the note Ipull it out of my pocket.

"What's that?" Sirius asks me.

"I found this when organizing last night. I haven't had the chance to look at it." I whisper, praying I'd get a moment alone to read it.

He nods and looks over my shoulder at the note.

Magical items holding souls?

1. his fathers?
2. hogwarts?
3. head objects?

places?

1. orphange?
2. Hogwarts
3. Personal locations?

We stare down at the list confused.

"Magical objects to store a soul?" I question. Sirius takes the note from my hand examining it as if more information would appear. He holds a finger up to me and calls Remus in.

He shows Remus the note. They begin discussing the Mauraders Map they made and wonder if the same spell on that was on the note. Remus was the one who'd thought of the spell for it and casted over the map, so Sirius thought he'd be the one to ask. Shaking his head, he looks at me.

"I think we need to show Dumbeldore." he tells me.

"I think we need to tell Hermione and Snape." I add.
