That morning I woke up to silence. It was weird since I usually was woken up by some loud noise or other, either with Cecelia yelling about wanting to go into Diagon Alley, Damian dropping something, or mom bustling about, there was never peace. I got out of bed, slowly poked my head out to see what was going on. When no one jumped out at me I crept down towards the kitchen. No one was there. I walked to the door that opened to the staircase leading to the store. I placed my ear to the door, because I didn't want to go out there in my pajamas. Just as I did the door burst open and I was knocked to the ground.
