I wake up to the sudden sound of a crash from downstairs, making my heart patter. I slowly get out of bed and quietly open the door hoping that it doesn't make a sound. I notice the sun is starting to come up at this point.
The cold wooden floor touches the bottom of my feet as I quietly make my way towards the kitchen which is where the noise is coming from. Each step I take down the stairs makes a slight noise which causes my heart rate to speed up faster in my chest. I grab an umbrella that's leaning on the wall next to the doorway and get ready to strike whoever is in the kitchen. I take a quick look around the corner and see a figure, but I can't make out who it is. I rush into the kitchen and hit the person over the head causing him to yell in pain.
"Valentina! What are you doing?" I freeze and notice it's my father.
"Sirius? I thought you were someone breaking in!" He grabs the umbrella and gives me a look of disappointment.
The light turns on and I turn around. "Sirius? Valentina? What is going on here?" Remus asks.
"She hit me on the head with an umbrella!" My father raises his voice and I give him a dirty look.
"I thought he was breaking in," I explain with an annoyed look.
Remus laughs and walks over to Sirius and grabs the umbrella. "So, you hit him with an umbrella? This is too funny"
"I'm going back to bed," I mumble and head for the stairs.
"There's no point. I was coming to wake you up anyway since everyone will be waking up in a few minutes to get ready to go," Remus explains as he walks over to the kettle and puts it overheat.
"Right. I'll head up and get ready then. Could you make me tea?" I ask him as my father takes a seat at the table.
"Of course. When you're done getting ready, bring down your trunk and leave it at the front door and make sure you have things for on the train and get Midnight ready too," I nod my head and walk back up to my room.
I walk into my room and open my trunk grabbing out a small bag that I'll take onto the train with me. I walk into the bathroom, sighing at the sight of the black bags under my eyes and how much weight I've lost. I can only imagine how the boys will react when they see my state.
I change into a black turtleneck, black stockings, and a light brown skirt with my black boots. I put in my bag a blanket for Midnight with a water bottle, and my wand before closing my trunk and drag it down the stairs with me.
"Are you ready, Val? Here's your tea," I turn around and see Remus with a cup of tea in his hand.
I walk up to him and grab it. "Thank you and yeah. Everyone else ready?"
"The twins are still asleep, but Molly will wake them soon, and then we can leave," he explains, and I nod my head, walking toward the kitchen where everyone else is having breakfast.
