The next morning I woke up well before Percy, which was surprising, as he's usually awake at the ass crack of dawn!

Slowly untangling myself from his limbs, I put on his shirt from the night before, as well as my pants, as I'd slept in my underwear, before cautiously walking out of the tent and towards the castle.

My desired destination was the kitchens, I wanted to surprise him with breakfast.

By surprise him with breakfast I mean I was planning on actually MAKING him breakfast, I didn't want to just bring him back something from the Great Hall.

I set out to the the dungeons, headed towards the Hogwarts kitchens.

Unfortunately my little mission was sidetracked while walking down the First Floor corridor, heading towards the entrance hall, near the South Courtyard.

Being pulled into a broom cupboard by Igor Karkaroff isn't exactly my idea of exciting things to do first thing in the morning, but here we were.

"Do you always go around accosting innocent 19 year olds or is this a new tactic?" I asked sarcastically

It was at this point he started speaking to me in Russian, but for the purposes of this book I'll leave it in English.

"You're not as innocent as you want people to believe Ms. Black" he replied

"I have no idea what you're on about, my name is Y/N Lupin. Now if you don't mind I have things to do today."

"You may be able to fool everyone else out there, but you look too much like your father for me to believe that."

"My father?" I know Percy said I looked similar to Sirius but damn...

"I'm surprised Regulus was able to keep you a secret though, it's quite interesting"

"Regulus.... Regulus? Never heard of him, sorry." Obviously this was a lie, Kreacher never shuts up about my Uncle.

"Play stupid all you want, I'll find out what you're hiding, and why"

"I'm sure, unfortunately for you I can already tell you you're mistaken. Now if you don't mind, I have a hungry Weasley to cook for."

"I'm mistaken am I? Are you sure about that?"

"You might have the right family Mr. Karkaroff, but you have the wrong male family member. Now, again, I have things to do, so if you'll excuse me I'll be on my way." I was done trying to hide my identity to this man

I wiggled my way past him, as he'd been blocking the door with his broad frame, and walked out the door, continuing on my way to the kitchens.

The Hogwarts house elves were more than happy to give me the food to cook myself, less work for them, placing everything I needed in a basket, I began my trek back to the training grounds.

They'd given me a decent amount of food, I had sausages, bacon, eggs, tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, coffee and tea, orange juice, bread, jam, and butter.

When I got back to Percy's tent he wasn't where I'd left him, I was pretty sure he was now in the bathroom.

I tried to stay as quite as I possibly could, this was meant to be a surprise.

Eventually I heard the shower turn on, which gave me a little more room in the noise department.

By the time he was finished with his morning routine, involving showering, getting dressed, doing his hair, and whatever else it is he does in the bathroom in the morning, I'd managed to get everything cooked and on the table.
