Chapter One: It Happened Again
Lottie's Point of View
"Everyday is like Suuuuuundaay." I sang quietly to myself as I waltzed into the bathroom of 12, Grimmauld Place early on, conveniently, Sunday morning. Today, after two or so months of being open, I was finally being treated to the grand tour of Weasley's Wizard Wheezes, the joke shop that Fred and George now own after dropping out of Hogwarts. As much as I was looking forward to it, I was also fearing for my life. I know what some of their products do. A room full of said products ... Holy shit.
I was taking my best friend of two and a half years along too, but she was taking me if you ask her. Alex Tonks knew how to manipulate and belittle somone. Anyone. Anything. Some call it rude, McGonagall once called it colourful.
When you're in your own home, you would typically feel safe sitting on the toilet lid and leisurely brushing your teeth whilst reading the latest issue of 'Witch Weekly' propped against the side of your sink. I used to feel safe too. But then again, my best friend is Alex Tonks, "RISE AND SHINE!"
"Oh my--" I shot upright off the toilet, dropping the magazine and causing my toothbrush to smash into the roof of my mouth as I moved. I winced, quickly pushing the magazine behind the sink with my foot as I turned and frowned at Alex, "What was that for?!"
"I have no idea what you just said." Alex had apparated into my bathroom, the one and only place in the world I used to consider completely private, and was crouched in the bathtub. I took my toothbrush out, spat and then turned back to face her,
"What was that for?!" I repeated,
"We're going to triple W today." Alex said as if it was obvious,
"Yes. I know. I was there when it was planned." I said slowly to her. Alex was looking up at the side of the shower cubical with her lip curled slightly,
"Who cleans this?"
"Me."
"When did you last do it?"
"Yesterday."
"Fucking hell. Please try harder." Alex said in an automated sounding voice. She then stood up and stepped out of the bath, wiping her hands on the faded green jeans she was wearing. She looked at me and then my attire,
"What are you wearing?"
"My dressing gown and some pyjamas." Alex shook her head disapprovingly,
"Why the bloody hell aren't you ready?"
"I've just got up." I used an open hand to point in the general direction of where my bedroom was, "I near enough know Dad won't even be up yet."
"Ha!" Alex apparated out of the bathroom, and my arm dropped to my side. Fantastic. One day, she will finish me off.

I was careful to open the kitchen door when I went through it. It had nearly fallen off the frame yesterday morning, "Is that what you're wearing?"
"Yes Alex, this is what I'm wearing." I sighed. All my outfit was was shorts and a long sleeves shirt with Big Ben on the front of it. Nothing criminal,
"It looks like mine."
"It looks nothing like yours." Alex was wearing a plain, dark grey tshirt with her jeans. She was also sitting at the dining table, which sat in the room directly next to the kitchen and was accessible from it, at the nearest head of the table with her feet up on it, swinging on her chair and eating some buttered toast. I noticed Lupin sitting three seats down from Alex in a similar position, with a similar meal in his hand. He nodded once in greeting to me,
