Saiph

start of holiday

Tonks and Remus were awaiting us at the platform and were quickly spotted. We rushed up to them and they'd told us we'd be apparating. Once in Grimmauld Place I found myself running straight to Sirius. I embraced him in a bone crushing hug and told him I'd missed him. Throughout the night, I'd found myself wondering what I'd do if it was me in the WEasley childrens position.

"Saiph, how lovely to see you." he tells me.

"How is he?" I ask taking a seat next to Sirius.

"He'll be fine. Still healing up but the children are there now visiting." he tells me, I assume in refrence more to Charlie.

I nod as Remus brings us tea and sits down next to Tonks. Hermione joins us at the table after putting her trunk away and that familiar uncomfortable silence consumed our group.

"So, tonks, can you tell us about being a Metamorphagus." I inquire trying to find another distraction.

"It's fun, I suppose. Not a lot of us left." she says while taking a sip of her tea. She then explains how or different ways she's able to transform herself.

"I'd read that Merlin was a Metamorphagus." Hermione tells us. I didn't know that. Surely, that wasn't an ability I possessed.

We are interrupted by a crack sound and the shouts of Molly Weasley's at the twins. I grin instantly, jumping from my seat in search of the commotion. I instantly run to Molly and tell her how sorry I was for her.

Quickly the room filled with Harry and the Weasley's as Molly busied herself in the kitchen. It felt great to be home again. I decided whereever this group fo people was is where I'd always be meant to be.

After dinner Charlie and I found ourselves in bed snuggling. We'd talked for awhile adn he'd told me about his visit with his dad. He'd have to be back in Romania for the New Year but switched to enjoy Christmas with us all.

I fell asleep fast, feeling cozy with Charlie. That night something changed. Something I don't think any of us could have predicted. In my dreams Isaw something. It was a scene as if playing a memory from in a Pensive. There were students gathered. I couldn't make out any faces but I could tell from the outfit it was a group of Gryffindors and a Ravenclaw. They were standing back to back wands held towards cloaked figures. I could hear distress in the voices, I couldn't quite make out what they were saying.

I awoke gasping for air. I didn't know what happened but I wasn't sure it was good. I realized it was still dark out, not wanting to wake Charlie I padded my way down to my dads old room.

I searched for awhile to see if Icoudl find any books but was unsuccessful. I'd find Kretcher tomorrow and ask him if there were any that might be useful. I figured it was still early so I went to the kitchen and started a kettle. I was shortly joined after by Molly who almost jumped at my presence.

I look up at her with saddened eyes. Confusion riddling my face as she sat down with her cup fo tea next to me.

"What happened, dear?" she asks.

"I had a dream. It was a dream but seemed real. I don't know how to describe it." I said still as if in a euphoria that hits when you wake up still half asleep.

"Maybe we'd best get Sirius for you." she whispers. I shake my head.

"I'll explain it to everyone later." I say adn she ndos sadly getting up to begin cooking breakfast.

I sit at the table adn play with the tea bag, dragging it in circles aroudn the cup. I felt myself lost in thought as I tried focusing on the dream, not being able to recall the faces I'd seen.
