Kate was spending sleepless nights, her dreams were becoming restless and she was getting more and more frustrated with each passing day; not just because of her dreams but also because of the lack of progress she was making with clearing Sirius's name, she felt like she was failing him even though he knew nothing about it. She got up at the crack of dawn, dressed formally and with all her paperwork in hand, that to her now seemed useless, walked down the stairs towards the kitchen as quietly as possible. No one was awake in the house yet, it was quite early for anyone to leave for work or even for Mrs Weasley to wake up to make breakfast. She set the files down on the table and went to the pantry to look for something to eat only to hear the lowest of creak of the kitchen door opening and closing, she walked out of the pantry to find the old house-elf standing in front of the door.
"Oh, good morning, Kreacher" Kate said politely.
"Young mistress, would you like some breakfast?" Kreacher said while inclining his head.
"No, thank you, Kreacher. Think I'll just have a bit of toast, help yourself though" said Kate.
"Oh, young mistress, you are too kind" Kreacher croaked, bowed again and then left through the door.When Mrs Weasley had entered the kitchen two hours later, Kate pretended to look like she had woken up no longer than half an hour before Mrs Weasley who was now preparing breakfast as Mr Weasley, Lupin, Sirius and Tonks entered; all astonished to see Kate awake before them and dressed for business and left the house with Tonks for the Ministry of Magic.
"But, Minister, if you could just—"
"No more, Miss Black. You better not cause trouble for yourself any further. This case is closed!" Cornelius Fudge said tersely and the Wizengamot began to file out, Kate stayed seated for a bit before regaining herself and leaving the Ministry briskly to go back home for lunch. Her head was pounding, she was furious and sleep deprived as she walked back to Grimmauld Place, inhaling a deep breath before entering the house and walked straight towards the fireplace where she aggressively threw all her files in the crackling fire and made her way upstairs to the room where Fred and George were sleeping in.She opened the door to Fred sitting near the window while George lay in bed talking to his brother playing with what he had in his hand she had no idea. They abruptly stopped talking when they saw her enter as she made her way to the bed and lay down next to George with her head resting on his chest and grip tightening around his torso while he stroked her hair.
