At the first knock he rolled over, pulling his pillow over his head. The howler from his father before nine this morning was bad enough. Surely, owl post should have been banned in densely populated muggle areas. Stupid owls able to track him down even when he doubted his parents didn't know where he lived. However, the message was clear. His second day of headline news apparently was not something they were proud of.
Zacharias had hoped that the knocking would just stop and the person would leave him alone. Except it didn't stop. Scowl firm on his face he threw his covers off and padded across his flat to have words with the person at the door.
Fully awake, he wasn't the most pleasant person to deal with, still half asleep and annoyed at his parents, well, it wouldn't be him at his best. Zacharias pulled open the door, not bothering to look through the peep hole, "What do you want?" The words were out before he even had a chance to see the young woman standing on the other side.
