❊ IT IS ABOUT TIME ❊

Being born into a family of four children of which three are girls is quite a scene one can imagine. Gabi woke up with a pounding headache due to the nightmares she had that night, which were same 'the look of dissatisfaction written across her parent;s face'. She can never shake away that small fear which resides in the back of her mind, but never shows it out. She knew that going back to sleep was a lost cause as it was already 6 in the morning, so she decided to go out flying. She was still sleepy when she came across her sister's room. Tia was worried sick about the recent kidnappings. Every time she sees any news in regards to it, sadness is quite evident in her eyes. Even before she went into her room she knew that she would find Tatiana wide awake. She knew of her sister's constant fears as she has first hand experience of dealing with them. She pondered over what to do to make her sister forget those worries, and the answer struck her fast enough. She quickly took her mother's permission to venture out into the Diagon Alley along with Tia as she fondly calls her. It was eerily early to go out, but she wanted to make her sister feel better if it means that they have to stare at the empty cobbled way or closed signs on the shops. She was not going to listen to whatever her sister was planning to say and to tell the fact, she was in no mood to deal with her sulky sister. It was an understatement that Tia was not up to go out, but it was better to drag her out into the open and talk to her rather than having to do it under the watchful eye of their parents.

Gabi instantly went to her room and got ready. She was aware that it was still early in the morning so she decided to wear comfortable clothes. Not even bothered to keep a low voice, she shouted "TIA ... wear some warm clothes, I don't want you to complain later." She had to look presentable, thanks to the media in England, people knew who they were now that the Triwizard Tournament was being hosted. Her father being one of the champions before was just a cherry on top. She quickly dragged her sister out with her and floo-ed to the leaky cauldron. After stopping to greet the innkeeper, they quickly went to the back alley. She tapped the correct bricks and entered the deserted alley. She looked around and thanked that not many people were there at  that time. She looked at her sister and said "now spill, I know you've not been sleeping. So don't even bother to lie to me." She knew that it may sound a bit harsh, but the only way to help her sister was to find out what was wrong and it only can be done like this.

“TIA!” Being awoken by the sound of her sister's voice—yelling at her to get ready, no less—was not how Tatiana Krum had intended to start her day. She had finally managed to get a good night's sleep for the first time in about a week, uninterrupted by the nightmares that usually haunted her. Of course, it had been too good to be true. “Wear some warm clothes,” Gabriella chided her from somewhere outside her bedroom door. “I don't want you to complain later.” She wasn't sure what time it was, but she was still in her pajamas!

Tania hollered at her sister in Bulgarian, although her words were slightly muffled by her pillow. “Go away, Gabi!” she called, almost whining. “Can't you bother Rina?!”

After realizing that Gabriella wasn't about to back down, Tatiana ceded, dragged herself out of bed, and got ready. She threw on a sweater over her shirt—the first warm item of clothing that she could find—and was still puzzled as to why her sister had specified that she wear warm clothing. (It was summer! She wasn't going to freeze!)

Taking the Floo Network to the Leaky Cauldron, Tania was careful to enunciate her words. She didn't want her confusion over what in the world her older sister was doing to lead her to end up somewhere completely different from her intended destination. (If she had had it her way, she would have been snug in her bed.)

She followed Gabriella's lead to the entrance to Diagon Alley, watching her warily the entire way. Once they were past the brick wall, the truth came out: “Now spill,” Gabi ordered her. “I know you've not been sleeping,” she added, “so don't even bother to lie to me.”

Taken aback, Tatiana hesitated. Gabriella had forced her to get up, and now this? “I have nightmares, Gabi!” she hissed under her breath, glad that they were alone. She was almost certain that her sister had seen the bottles of the Calming Draught and the Potion for Dreamless Sleep upon which she had become so reliant. “I'm sorry for ruining your summer,” she added bitterly. It wasn't her fault! She didn't want to live the rest of her life in misery because of what other people might do.

OOC: The only thing is that I don't think that the news of the Triwizard Tournament is currently known to anyone outside of the delegations from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang and the Hogwarts and Ministry staff who are responsible for it.

Gabi had to suppress a chuckle at the words of Tia, 'bother Rina?' who is she kidding, she thought. Waking up Rina was the last thing she wanted to do and she could not understand why Tia was not taking up the opportunity to come out of the house. It was getting quite boring being cooped up in the house with nothing to do. She did have assignments but that surely did not mean that she has to do it all the time. She felt quite successful upon dragging Tia with her, without having to hear her sister's rant about her being a mean one. But little did Gabi know that her sister's silence was due to the lack of knowledge and her excitement.

Gabi could see the shocked look on Tia's face when she asked about her sleeping. She knew that it was way too harsh and realized it a split second alter, when the damage was already done. She could hear the bitterness in her sister's voice as she spoke no hissed at her. She took a step back unknowingly as she looked at Tia speaking to her. She knew that she had nightmares, but Gabi knew a little bit that stating the obvious in front of  her would not be good point. But it looked like Tia had taken it in totally different way. Gabi knew that she was a tad bit blunt at times, but she did not expect her own sister to talk back to her in such a way. However being the doting sister she was and a puff through and through, she did not let her words hurt her. In a small and soft voice she spoke "I know you've been having nightmares, Tia. That's why I wanted you to talk, it always helps when you talk about them."

But the next words which came from Tia left her in a shock. I'm sorry for ruining your summer how could she think like that. Gabi knew that she expressed her dissatisfaction at being stuck at home, but never did she imply in such a way. She would never dream of insinuating that she felt like that because of her sister's troubles. In fact she was only trying to make sure that Tia would never have to deal with their parents questions. Even today, she dragged her here, so as to have a peaceful conversation with her and try to solve them slowly one at a time. She never knew it, but a lone tear made it's way down her cheek as she spoke in a broken voice, "Tia, I never said such a thing. I only wanted to help you." Not knowing how to express to her sister that she did not want her to feel in such a way, she only did one thing and pulled her sister to a hug.
