Today, everything had changed for Justin.

He'd spent the day at home with his Mum, catching up on missed episodes of Eastenders and simply enjoying her company after his recent Bianca-sitting mission. Everything had been fine until she'd drawn up her shirt-sleeve to scratch an itch, revealing a dark spot on her skin. In a fit of panic, he'd asked her if she was having nightmares, and she admitted she had been all the while telling him not to worry.

But he did worry, more than ever after seeing the Prophet and the revelation that a Muggle had died, perhaps at the same hands as the rest of those who'd had nightmares. He'd immediately grabbed the cordless phone and called Heneage, Charles and Sarah, asking each if they'd been having nightmares and had the dark spot. Charles was the only one to say yes.

After the last phone call, his Mum had pulled him down onto the sofa as Mags entered with the tea service. She insisted he tell her what was wrong, and after Mags had left, he did. She'd tried to reassure him that the manor had excellent security, but he'd rightly argued that it wouldn't work against a witch. For a moment, it had felt like the Snatchers all over again. He'd tried to beg his mother to leave the country, but she argued there was no proof that whatever it was wouldn't get her elsewhere, and that in the end, she refused to leave Justin's side.

He'd wanted to run away as he had six years ago, but his father had died then as a result, and he refused to do that to his family again.

He'd needed to talk to someone, though, someone with Muggle family who would understand, that he could check with in a desperation to prove that his family were not the only ones targeted. Also, he needed someone to be reasonable for him, as he was so often the antithesis of reason, being one to act on emotion rather than logic.

And this is what led him to the door of Anthony Goldstein. He knocked - as ever, his usual 'shave and a haircut' - and unlike he did with Ernie, he actually waited for the door to be answered rather than simply strolling in.
