Chapter 83

Jenna woke up the next morning, feeling as if she hadn't gotten any sleep at all. She wanted to open her eyes and get up, but her headache was bending her down.

      Although when she finally got back to her senses, Jenna suddenly felt an arm wrapped around her tightly. When she turned to look over her shoulder, she saw Sirius sound asleep behind her, holding on to her the way he always did.

     Jenna was certain that he had done so unintentionally in his sleep, and out of habit. But no matter how mad they were at each other, she always felt safe and at peace in his warm embrace.

      Sighing to herself, Jenna slowly grabbed onto his hand which was around her, trying to gently move his arm away from her without waking him up. Jenna was almost successful in removing his arm from around her, but she came to a halt when Sirius stirred in his sleep.

     She glanced behind at him, making sure that he hadn't woken up before moving his hand completely and finally getting out of bed.

      Jenna tiptoed across the room, quietly opening the door and stepping outside, gently closing it again without making a noise. She then walked downstairs after using the bathroom upstairs for a quick shower, making her way toward the house's front door afterwards.

     Although she let out a yelp of surprise when suddenly a voice behind her startled her, saying, "Where are you going?"

     Turning around, Jenna saw Remus peaking his head out of the kitchen, looking at her curiously with a hot cup of tea in his hand.

     "Out?" Jenna shrugged, grinning.

     "Well, how about you go 'out' after some breakfast?" Remus suggested, smiling.

     Jenna hesitated, but sighing in defeat, she followed Remus back toward the kitchen. She always woke up early, and so she wasn't used to someone being awake even before her.

   "Seriously, though," Remus started, pouring her a cup of tea, "where were you going?"

      "Back to our old house," said Jenna, sitting behind the kitchen table as Remus placed a toast on the plate before her, taking his seat beside her.

     "The Potter Manor?" Remus questioned, but Jenna shook her head.

      "The flat I used to live in with Sirius," she explained. "I wanted to get some clothes for myself and him. I'm tired of washing the ones I'm wearing now over and over again. Besides, I doubt Sirius will have anything to wear at Grimmauld Place. His mother had probably thrown away all his clothes, and even if she hadn't, they would be too small for him to wear anyway. The last time he was at that house was when he was sixteen."

     Jenna smiled sadly at the memory. She could still remember that rainy night Sirius had showed up at their door, carrying only a single trunk with himself after running away from home.

      Jenna remembered how miserable he was, but the Potters had accepted him into their crazy little family with open arms, convincing him to live at their house until he was of age.

      "Dumbledore sent a Patronus to me earlier this morning, by the way," Remus said after a short while. "He said Grimmauld Place is ready for the Headquarters. He's already done all the necessary protection charms. All that's left now is the Fidelius Charm. Dumbledore will be its Secret Keeper."

     "So when will be the first Order meeting?" Jenna questioned, taking a sip of her tea after it had cooled a bit.

      "He said he would send another Patronus to notify us of the first time and date," said Remus. "Although I think he'd want us to get there earlier than the others, to make sure everything is in order."

      "Right..." Jenna mumbled under her breath, her thoughts wandering far away. "Well, I better get going. Thanks for the breakfast, Remus," she said, getting up to her feet. "Whenever Sirius woke up, please tell him I went to get some stuff from our old flat."

     "Don't worry, I will." Remus nodded at her reassuringly, before Jenna waved him goodbye and left the kitchen.

     Once she got outside the house and closed the door behind her, Jenna took a deep breath and closed her eyes, focusing on where she wanted to go. She pictured their old flat clearly in her mind, and so the next moment, she Disapparated away.

      When she opened her eyes again and looked up, Jenna felt her heart drop as she saw their old flat before her. It was as if the last fourteen years had never happened.

     Gulping, Jenna stepped toward the house and with the use of her wand, she opened the front door and stepped inside, her stomach lurching as she looked around.

     The last time she had been in there was October 31th, 1981. That night had been pouring rain. Sirius had left the house to check up on Pettigrew's hiding place, but he didn't come back for hours. Although Jenna had been caught by surprise when Remus had showed up at the door, tears covering his face. It was the night that Lily and James had died.

    But as Jenna walked inside the house and closed the door shut behind her, she was reminded of more beautiful memories. Even though the place was covered with dust and cobwebs, she still felt a scant smile appearing across her lips.

      She then made her way over to her and Sirius's old bedroom, opening the closets to look for new clothes to wear. She had brought her bag with her which had the Undetectable Extension Charm on it, placing the clothes inside it.

     Jenna was just about to leave the room that she suddenly came to a stop when her eyes caught sight of something on the nightstand beside their bed.

     With her heart throbbing in her chest, Jenna slowly made her way over the nightstand, picking up the little orb. She then blew the dusts off it as she held it in her hands, her whole body heating up with emotions as she watched it.

      It was the snow globe Sirius had given her as a Christmas present back in their fifth year. The snow inside it was bewitched to fall from the top of it continuously.

     Underneath the snow inside the globe, there were a boy and a girl, laying on the grass as they watched the sky, with the snow falling down on them. What warmed Jenna's heart was that the doll-girl had blue hair, just like how she used to have when she was younger.

     With a little sigh, Jenna placed the snow orb back in her bag. But her curiosity getting the better of her, she started opening her nightstand's drawers to see what was inside them.

     Once she looked inside the drawers, her knees weakened at all the memories she found saw in there.

      The first thing she picked up was a letter from Lily which she had sent to Sirius while Jenna had been away on her mission, talking about Harry's first birthday, and how much he loved his toy broomstick which Sirius had sent him.

      With tears glimmering in her eyes, Jenna placed the letter in her bag and looked back inside the drawer. Among her old brush, quill, ink, and favorite books, there were two curious-looking mirrors.

      Jenna felt shivers running down her spine when she remembered what they were. These were the two-way mirrors that Sirius and James used in detention, whenever they were apart. If one of them said the other's name in the mirror, they would appear.

     Jenna could remember being caught by Filch, while her and Sirius had been kissing in the Black Lake. Filch had then given them separate detentions, so Jenna had burrowed James's mirror so she could talk to Sirius, but she had forgotten to return it back to James.

     Although after putting the mirrors in the bag and looking back inside the drawer, Jenna broke down into tears when she saw a little daisy laying there, looking as beautiful as a newly-blossomed one.

      Jenna picked it up with tears streaming down her eyes, smiling as she remembered that Alice had given it to her for her birthday. Alice had placed a charm on the flower, so it would never die and remain beautiful forever.

      Jenna could remember how back at Hogwarts, the four girls would go out near the lake and sit on the fresh grass to study. Although each time, Alice would conjure white daisies while braiding Jenna's blue hair, placing the little flowers through her hair.

     Jenna felt an ache in her heart as she thought of all her old memories. She missed all her friends, her brother, and her parents. She missed laughing day and night with them, and missed having them by her side.

     The first war had taken everything from her. But now that a second war was approaching, she couldn't possibly afford to lose anyone else.
