IN RUINS- James Potter

chapter one hundred and three

Her head was going to explode, her head hurting too much to even function, sitting at the kitchen as her mother was in front of her, both having headaches for different reasons. It had been two days since riddle stepped into their house, two days since he told her about potter, Walburga unaware of this, Nora not wanting to tell her.

"To beat the rush of diagon alley, would you want to get some new skirts for next term?" Walburga asked, sipping on her coffee. Nora looked at her brother who had just come into the kitchen, putting the daily prophet on the table for them to read.

"Mother i'm done school now, it was my last year." Nora needed to remind her, regulus trying to be understand what was happening. "Oh— oh right yes. Just always used to you needing new skirts." A little concerned for her mother, Nora watched her want to go to the living room, leaving the kitchen.

Widening her eyes and drinking her coffee, Nora needed this headache to go away, looking at regulus all dressed to go. "You think we should tell here where we're going?" He asked, referring to seeing a flat with Sirius, noticing him being a little excited today.

Nodding her head, Nora chugged back the rest of her coffee, needing it all at once, putting her cup in the sink. "Mother, regulus and I are going to visit Theodore and Damon, is that okay?" Nora asked, needing to take it easy around their mother, slightly worried if they should leave her alone.

Walburga waved them off, reading the daily prophet; sipping her coffee ever so gently. Pouting for a moment, Nora made her brother go first to leave the house, putting her wand in her hair this time, needing to be alert when outside, unsure of when riddle could call a meeting.

Walking down their steps and seeing the clouds be less grey today with some blue in the mix, they were lucky to not see some rain, beginning to walk to the Potters, a little nervous after her mental breakdown in front of his mother.

Nora didn't know if Effie ever told James of how she feels, and she was hoping to Merlin's left tit that she wasn't about to bring it up now, walking with her youngest brother. "How's the arm treating you?" She asked, referring to the mark.

"Just hurts so much when he calls for a meeting, I still don't understand how it works." He explained, Nora rubbing his back, seeing his hair slowly come back to his curls, growing it out a little.

"Well from throwing my cigarette to the ground to being the dark lord, he clearly can do multiple things at once." She teased, trying to lighten up their situation, ruffling his hair, opening the potters gate.

Closing it behind her, Nora turned to see the door already open, James coming over to hug her, high giving regulus. "I didn't know you would be coming." He told her, excited either way.

Kissing his cheek as he let go of her, Sirius came out closing the door, wearing a leather jacket similar to his siblings, all matching in their own way. "Uh potter, why wouldn't we be coming?" Regulus sassed, crossing his arms, annoyed by Sirius ruffling his hair already.

"Oh don't mind, he woke up on the wrong side of the bed— literally we both fell off our beds." Nora told them, regulus rolling his eyes as she gave him the death stare to behave, beginning to walk.

"It's about a ten minute walk from her, met the landlord lady. Her name is Moira, she allows pets, smoking and it has a balcony— whatever the fuck that is." Sirius began to explain everything that was in the flat, including two bedrooms with their own separate toilets with a shower as well.

"Shouldn't be too bad to see." Nora said, walking beside regulus as James was ahead with Sirius. "How much of it costing you?" Asked regulus, needing to know financially.
