Harry's phone alarm sounded off, as it had done many times before in the morning, filling the room with its shrill sound. It woke him up from his deep sleep, and he awoke, realizing that the sun was yet to rise. He opened his eyes and quickly grabbed his phone to turn off the alarm.

It was time for Harry to get ready for his flight to New York. He had gotten the packing done the night before, so all he needed to do was eat breakfast. He then needed to take Sabastian and Narcissa to stay with the pet sitter while he was away.

Wasting no time, Harry tossed the duvet aside and got out of bed. He quickly made his way to the bathroom to get his morning routine done with. When he came out, Narcissa was sitting on the bed. The two descended to the kitchen, where Harry noticed Sabastian lying down in a box that was sitting atop the table - his work around for not being allowed up on the table.

Harry couldn't help but think that he was really being tested by that cat. Heading over to the fridge, he quickly retrieved the cat food and put it on the counter. He then grabbed the kitchen scissors that were kept nearby and used them to open the cat food.

After providing some sustenance for the cats, Harry set about making his own breakfast.

He looks in the cupboard until he finds his oatmeal, grabs a pot, puts it on the stove and begins to pour in the water. After he sets the heat to medium, he takes out a cup and starts measuring out the oatmeal. As the oats boiled, Harry stirred them occasionally and made himself a cup of coffee. For extra flavor, he added a pinch of brown sugar and a sprinkle of cinnamon to the oats when they were almost done cooking. When it was finally ready, Harry was able to enjoy a bowl of oatmeal with a cup of coffee.

After finishing his meal, Harry made his way back to his room to get ready. Opening the closet, he found some comfortable clothes and a pair of sneakers that he put on. After dressing, he tidied up the bedroom by making the bed, and then he grabbed his phone, wallet, and suitcases. He then descended the stairs and walked over to the small closet under the stairs. From there, he pulled out Sabastian and Narcissa's carrier, and he called them over to him.

"Don't give me a hard time. I'll give you a treat if you get in nicely." Harry said with a smile as he sat down on the carrier on the floor.

Without hesitation, Narcissa jumped into the carrier and snuggled into the comfort of the blanket inside. Sabastian gave a small huff before jumping into the carrier too, lured in by the promise of a yummy treat.

"I know you're a sweet boy." With a lighthearted laugh, Harry presented him with the treat and fastened the carrier shut. Then, taking his keys from the nearby table, he picked up the carrier and made his way out the door.

Harry stepped out into the cool air of the London morning as he walked across the street to his car. He glanced up at the sky, which was beginning to change shades, glowing with the first rays of the sun.

Harry opened the back door of his car, placing the carrier in the backseat next to his suitcases. He turned around the front of the car and got into the driver's seat. With a flick of the key, he turned on the engine and some music before setting off on his journey.

After Harry had dropped off the cats, he then drove off to the airport. As he arrived, he carefully parked his car. Before getting out he puts on his hat and sunglasses. After double-checking that he had his phone and keys, he stepped out of the car, and saw Louis and Liam.

"Thanks for doing this." Harry said as he got out of the car.

Louis had been gracious enough to pick up Harry's car from the airport and take it back to his flat for him.
