My bed lays opposite the window. I stare out it regularly. I've been awake for hours watching as the darkness of the morning sky, fades into the purple, pink sunrise. I like these types of mornings, the silence, the peace, the rain hitting the glass paines of my window. I thinking about having to start a new school today, but now I'm occupied on the two raindrops racing down the window. I hug my knees and rest my head on them.

I hear shuffling about in the hallway of the cottage. I know he's awake now. I lay back of the bed, taking my vision of the window, by back hitting the mattress softly. Resting my eyes shut, as footsteps echo the hallway.

"Y/n..?" I groan, Remus knocks on my bedroom door. I hear the doorknob turn slowly, I open my eyes to slits just to see him peak his head through, he's kind of hunched over.

"Oh, you are awake." He stands up straight, opening the door wider.

"No. I'm dead." I throw the blanket over my head, hoping he takes that as a sign to fuck off.

I moved in with my dad on the 12th of July. 2 days after my mother died. My Mum and Remus didn't get along, they were very diffrent. I hadn't seen my dad since I was a baby, when my Mum, moved us to Russia to stay with her bestfriend and her son, Levi ans Anakin. I occasionally sent letters to Remus and he occasionally sent them back now and then. That's how it was for a couple years when I turn 8. But then they just stopped. I started my first year at Dumstrang Institute with Levi, Anakin's son. My mother pulled some strings to get me in and yeah.

My second year, my Mum got sick. She didn't tell me for awhile and had made plans behind my back to move me back to England and to a 'father' I didn't know. I finshed school and that's when she finally told me she was sick. I had twelve days with her then she died. Their is still alot she never told me, like why we moved away and how did she get sick.

So that brings us to now.

I feel the weight of my bed shift and Remus take the blanket off my face. "Listen, please I know you have been through a lot but I need you to get up." I could see the desperation in his eyes, I kind of felt bad for him, but then I remember he made zero effort with me and that's why I stopped making an effort with him.

"Fine," I sat up and rubbed my eyes," when are we leaving?"

"An hour." He stated, walking out of my room.

I lift myself out of bed slowly and shiver as my feet touch the oak floorboards. I walk over to my window and open it, before opening Prong's, my owl, cage. I stroked his head with my finger and then let him fly out.

I turn to my desk, then begin to look through my records. I pick out my 'T.Rex' record, placing it into the record player. I lay the needle on it and it begins playing 'Monolith'.

I change into the outfit, I picked it last night before bed.

I step backwards to have a better look in the mirror and sigh. I my hair into a bun, more of a lump on my head with hair sticking out. I finsh getting ready and grab my luggage. I bring down stairs, before going back upstairs and calling Prongs back into his cage, then bring that downstairs.
