IT WAS THE NEW usual morning at the Lupin household. Cassandra Black was hogging the bathroom, Julianna Potter was fast asleep in her suitcase and Remus Lupin was busying himself in the kitchen to distract himself from urgently using the only loo in the house.
However, one thing wasn't usual. Three Ministry Workers were never apparating to the Lupin Manor early in the morning.
This just meant trouble.
"CASSIE!" Remus screamed, putting aside the scones and running to the bathroom.
"Not now Moony, I'm combing my hair," Cassie shouted back from inside the bathroom.
"Well, you can take your comb and shove it up your-"
"Language," Julianna croaked, dragging herself down the stairs.
"Three ministry officials are on their way here Cassie," Remus ushered, rolling his eyes at Julia's 'language'. "They're going to ask you about Sirius's whereabouts and interrogate you,"
The door to the loo whirled open to a distraught looking Cassie.
"Remember the plan?" she asked as she ran up the stairs to her room to grab her bag.
"Vividly," Remus nodded, running to grab a few pans. Julia was rushing around too, hurriedly trying to find something for her daughter.
A few moments later, Cassie ran downstairs, latching onto her backpack and adorning some jeans with Remus's oversized shirt she had been wearing previously.
"Are you sure you can do it, Cassie?" Remus asked unsurely.
"I guess we'll know for sure right now," the girl shrugged, taking a deep breath to calm herself.
"Cherry!" Julia exclaimed, emerging out of her suitcase, "Here," she said, handing over a bundled cloth.
"What is it?" Cassie asked, feeling through the cloth as she made her way to the kitchen.
"Just call out my name when you open it, alright?" the Potter explained half-heartedly, pushing her puzzled daughter into the kitchen.
"I'll miss you," she sighed, kissing her child goodbye.
"You too," Cassie smiled sadly, about to hug her mother.
"Few feet away!" Remus's voice said warningly, alerting the mother and daughter of the incoming officials.
"Alright," Cassie nodded, rubbing her hands together while Remus positioned himself on the sofa and Julia held the pans.
"Three," Remus counted,
"Two," said Julia,
"One," Cassie mumbled.
Everything happened at once.
The doorbell rang, announcing the arrival of the officials.
Julianna Potter dropped the pans on the floor causing a thunderous voice to echo through the house - very covertly covering the sound of apparation.
Remus jumped slightly at the noise before heading to the door to answer it.
"Abbot! A very good morning to you! Didn't expect to see you here!" Remus said cheerfully, greeting his friend with a handshake.
"What ever was that blasting noise?" Abbot said in return, pulling his hands away from his ears.
"We don't have visitors so Julia got a scare at the sound of the doorbell. She was cooking breakfast. Scones, actually. Would you like some?" Remus explained.
