I laid down in bed, reading a book. I kept pushing back the horrible encounter I had with Loren at the back of my head. My brain settled into a train of all the intrusive and weird thoughts in my head until a gush of wind brought me back to my sensed. I looked outside, and from the look of the sky, it seemed to be about 6:00 p.m. I sighed and got up to go outside. I was in no mental state to cook anything so I decided to get something from a local food truck instead. 

When I get out the door I hear the hooting of my owl. I look up at the sky and see Mackie flying down with a letter at her feet. When she lands on my shoulder I take off the letter and read it. 

Oh fuck Harry, this is why no one should leave you alone.  

Hello Snow, Lupin here

Hello Snow, Lupin here. 

Harry has ran into an altercation and has been expelled from Hogwarts for using a spell against a dementor. The ministry isn't buying that it's self defense. We are heading to the ministry for his trial and we will send Tonks ( my wife) as well as a few other people to pick you up briefly August 29th at around 10 p.m. Make sure all your books and bags are packed. Harry sends his love to you. 

From, Lupin.  

Today was August 28th, meaning I had another day to say all my goodbyes. I sighed in defeat as I slumped back into my room to pack. 

Harry can't do ONE thing right. But to be fair, the ministry is also kind of stupid. I'm sure he did it in defense.  

I threw all my books and school supplies in my trunk and then organized it somewhat. Then I put in my robes as well as my other clothes, and a few party clothes. And finally, I also added a small knife. Just in case you know. 

I finally headed outside and made my way to a food truck and got some tacos. When I turned around I flinched in shock. "God Sky, you frightened me." 

"My bad, I didn't even think I would see you for another day or two." He went up and picked up his food as well before walking over to the benches with me. "What's wrong with you Elsa?" 

"Call me that one more time and I will cut off your already small dick." He laughed and took a bite out of his food.  

"Just like your small ass tits." 

I rolled my eyes and lightly laughed. 

"No but seriously, you NEVER get out of your apartment at nighttime, what's up?" He looked at me, waiting for an answer. 

"I, I dunno." He raised his eyebrows at me like he always does when I'm hiding something. I give in and tell him. " MY... ex boyfriend popped by earlier today. And he cut.... really deep. He was... abusive and I forgive him I guess, but he's being delusional about the whole thing." I shake my head. "God it's so stupid."  

"No, no it's not, I get it."  

"There's... ONE more thing. I got a letter from my brother...." 

"All the way from the U.K?" He seemed shocked. Just wait till I tell him about owls and brooms. 

"Yes... And, he's sick. And I have to go see him and his friends so we can... I dunno, figure something out. I really will miss you." I hold my arms out so he can hug me. He hesitantly does but he immediately asks me questions. 

"We'll keep in touch, right?" I shake my head yes. 

"Not by phone or email, but by letter." I smirk at the thought of him figuring out how owl mailing systems work. 

He pulls away and flashes me a smile. "Well have fun at a brainwashing boarding school." He gives me a rare smirk before leaving. 

I walk back home, feeling a bit more optimistic, as I usually do when I talk to him. 

I plop on my bed and go back to reading my book. I finish eating the tacos while I'm at it. When I finish the book, I make my way to the TV and watch a movie with a bag of chips with me. Finally, after finishing movie number 2, it's about 12 a.m. in the morning. I sigh and clean up all the mess I made and head to the bathroom to get ready to sleep. As I brush my teeth I notice some shadow fly by my bathroom window. I quickly turn around. I peer outside but don't see anything or anyone. I turn back around and continue brushing my teeth, keeping my eyes on the window. When I turn my eyes back to the mirror in front of me, I hear the whooshing again. I quickly finish brushing my teeth and grab my wand. I keep it pointed as I inspect the house. 

I conclude that I'm probably just nervous from everything that happened today and get to bed. Once my alarm is set, I keep my wand in my hand, under my pillow. I try to relax my muscles as I all under the spell of my tiredness. Finally, just when I'm about to fall asleep, a hissing makes me get up with a jolt. I step out of bed and ran downstairs. I look around, but once again, see nothing. 

I am fully awake at this point and am 100% sure that this is foul play. I relax my arm for a second in frustration from the events until I feel a force pulling my leg. 

"AHHHH!" I can't help but scream as I suddenly end up in my backyard. 

I look around in circles, my wand still pointed outwards. My breathing is slightly heavier but I'm able to keep my calm until I hear a creepy voice. 

"Hello Snow."
