Wandless

Nephew of my Godfather

Harry

"Welcome to your new home," Sirius announced, opening the door to Grimmauld Place.

Percy walked in, looking apprehensively at the bold 12 on the door. He was soon followed by the two men who claimed to be his cousins and our new neighbors. Immediately, Mrs. Black began screaming loudly about mud-bloods and other stuff.

A flick of my godfather's hand later, the curtains were closed and her voice muffled. I turned to help Percy with his stuff, but soon remember he only had two bags. Sirius' nephew glanced curiously around his new home.

His eyes were sharp as he took in everything. Percy didn't even blink when the picture of Sirius' mother started screaming or when Sirius used magic. Suspiciously, neither did his family.

"Harry, can you show him to his room?" Sirius asked me, talking silently with me through his eyes.

He wanted to talk to Percy's cousins some more. They were telling us some interesting things before Percy got here, about Percy. Apparently his mom wasn't the only one he lost. My feelings went out to him when I heard that.

Losing people you love wasn't easy. When Cedric died, it took over a year for me to settle with his passing and we weren't even close. I can't imagine losing more than one person at the same time.

I smiled and nodded at Sirius, bounding up the stairs towards the guest room. When I reached it, I paused. I didn't hear anyone following me. Frowning, I turned around to go back down the stairs and fetch my new roommate, when I ran face first into a body.

I stumbled backwards, straightening my glasses on my face. To my disappointment, the other person didn't even budge as I failed in walking. When I looked up, I found vibrant sea green eyes staring back at me amusedly. I gawked at him.

"I didn't even hear you!" I exclaimed.

He just shrugged nonchalantly,"It's a habit. Is this where I'll be staying?"

He walked past me into the recently cleaned room. Setting his stuff down softly on the bed, he cautiously walked around the room. He tapped and tugged on the windows, making sure they were secure and poked around the room.

Once he found that nothing would jump out at him, I saw his shoulders relax. He started unpacking his clothes and placing them inside the closet and drawers. He turned back to me, and I saw surprise cross his face.

"I didn't think you'd still be here." He stated,"I've been told my... process takes awhile."

I shrugged embarrassed, the clock told me at least half an hour passed. I had been watching him the whole time. That was sort of creepy. I berated myself in my head.

"It wasn't that long, do you want to get something to eat? It was a long flight." I quickly offered a distraction so he'd ignore my odd behavior.

He smiled like he knew what I was doing, but gave a small nod. I led the way back down the stairs and into the kitchen. When I pushed open the door, I was met with Percy's two cousin's sitting down with their backs facing me.

Immediately, I could sense the somber tension of the room. My godfathers face expressed sorrow which only increased with pity when Percy entered behind me. I could feel Percy stiffen behind me as he read the mood of the room.

His cousins heads swiveled around to face him. Percy glared at them, anger emanating from his eyes. The two people just sat there with no expression on their faces. I cleared my throat, drawing everyone's attention.

"Sirius, I thought it'd be a good idea to get Percy and his cousins some food after their long journey." I spoke, addressing my godfather, trying to convey my silent message.
