Times could not have gotten any worse since the wedding situation had happened.

Everyone has been feeling unsafe in their own homes after the trio went off.

Me and Remus decided to move in with Sirius back in 12 Grimmauld place.

It was a temporary solution. Still, none of us dared to step a foot outside the house.

Food and other resources were easily acquired with simple spells, but the lack of security was real.

The ministry has been complete corrupted with Death Eaters. In fact, the whole wizarding world has.

There are 'Wanted' posters for Harry in every corner. In fact, there is one right outside me and Remus' room; it is glued to a lamppost that's much too broken to function properly.

They're treating the three like fugitives, especially Harry. All of my hope is with them, and I hope they're doing well— wherever they are.

Around here, things are dull. Dull, but not safe in the slightest. Sirius has cut off any communication with his girlfriend, which pained him to do.

Madi has also took refuge with us. The house is pretty much filled with people. Unfortunately, Tonks has not been yet spotted.

This worries me on the daily. If anything happened to her— if she has gotten in any kind of trouble— there is no way anyone could handle it.

I wish for her safety, and nothing more.

With the numerous names that are listed on the radio everyday, hers would most definitely be one of the most distressing ones to here.

Over the months we have become somewhat like sisters.

I aspire so much to be like her. To have her courage, her strength, and her charisma, of course.

Right now, me, Remus, Madi, Sirius, and my mother all sit together against the back wall.

We are in the middle of what they call a 'weekly blackout.' They say it is a weekly thing, and that it is a necessary occasion, but it usually happens over three times a week.

It is terrifying. Every time the lights go out, every time the cautious footsteps of foul death eaters infiltrate my ears, I wish I could go deaf & blind all at once.

I hold Remus' hand tight, wishing that this may all come to an end soon enough. He mutters comforting words into my hair, holding me tightly around his body.

We are all wrapped around Harry's cloak that Sirius happened to find in his suitcase.

There is not much space, but in situations like this, there is no time to complain.

I hear the eerie creaks of the floorboards cackling when their hard boots meet the ground.

I do not recognise this particular set of men. There are only two of them. One is hooded, nothing visible but his mouth.

The other one looks much more evil. He carries a pocket knife on his boot, which sends an unnerving feeling to my spine.

Usually, they come with nothing but wands. Searching the place does not require a knife.

Either they are aware that we are, in fact, here, or the man simply holds it just in case.

I really hope our scenario consists of the second option, because ever since I stabbed Lucius, the death eaters have been right on my tail.
