If she were being quite honest with herself, Daphne would have to admit that she had been distracted as of late. Her mind seemed to wander and she thought more of her family than just about anything else. Of course, it didn't much help that Julian still hadn't told her where he had been hiding all this time and that he was determined to keep the secret that he was still alive from their parents. Daphne, keeping her promise, had not breathed a word of his existence to anyone, not even Sasha, whom she felt she had recently started to grow apart from.

When Daphne wasn't busy with assignments from her internship or school, she was working at Slug & Jiggers and in the few hours she had during weekday evenings, she made herself and Julian dinner and kept up with her reading as well as possible, though her schedule was certainly starting to take its toll. She slept when she could, but sometimes woke in the middle of the night for no reason she could fathom.

Today, Daphne had been absent-minded at her desk at the Ministry and was anxious to get home and check on Julian. There was something amiss, but she couldn't place exactly what that might be - at the moment it was still a gnawing in the bottom of her stomach rather than anything concrete.

Daphne took the lift to the entrance hall and headed for the Floo when she found herself in line directly behind Harry Potter. She wasn't sure what she should do or say, but she knew she must greet him so as not to seem rude. If he spotted her and she hadn't said hello, he would think her rather too posh.

She cleared her throat slightly.

"Hullo, Harry."
