"Can I call you Tori? You know Tori, I'm a great friend."
"I don't get it, why are you being nice to me?"
"Maybe I don't want to see you friendless."

Over the next couple of days, Molly has each of the children working on certain parts of the house. Tori didn't mind, cleaning gave her something to do, otherwise, she may have been sick with nerves.
Bill checked in with her every day, letting her know any updates about her vault. On Monday it was "We're working on it now, but unfortunately I can't bring it up to everyone else's priorities."
On Tuesday he told her it was going to be a struggle to get money out without other members of the family being alerted.
Tori told him whatever they had to do was fine and left it at that. She went for the next several days without any news.
After yet another long day at work, Tori was sleeping peacefully in her bed when her dreams look an odd turn. She was once again flying her broom into the night sky of England when the sky began to turn bright orange.
There were these loud siren noises, and Tori could hear screaming.
Tori! Tori! Over here!
Her heart was racing as she dove downwards. The world around her seemed to be on fire.
Tori! Tori!
She could hear someone calling her from inside a smoking building. She dove downwards into the fire.
Tori! Tori!
Tori jolted upwards, panting as her eyes began to focus in the dark room. She was nearly drenched in sweat and had tears running down her face.
She held her face in her hands, taking deep shaky breaths. It wasn't the voice that startled her. It was who's voice it was.
The voice sounded like Cedric.
"Are you okay?" Hermione's voice was a whisper coming from the other side of the room. Tori wondered what time it was.
She wiped her forehead, nodding. "Yeah, yeah. Did I wake you?" Hermione's shadow tilted her head. "A bit. It sounded like you were crying."
Tori nodded weakly, throwing the covers off of her and getting out of bed. She peered over towards the small window in the room to see the sun had now yet risen, but began slightly crack the dark a sky above it.
She heard Hermione mumble about going back to sleep, but Tori decided she would leave the room for a bit. She grabbed her wand, lighting the dark hallway with a swift Lumos.
She could hear voices in the kitchen, and it wasn't until she had gotten down there had it dawned on her that it was Harry's trial today.
"Oh, Tori! What are you doing up so early?" Molly turned towards her the moment she stepped into the kitchen. Tori gave a weak smile, "I couldn't fall back asleep."
Molly opened her mouth to say something but closed it almost immediately. She noticed Tori's thumb rub over the bracelet she was wearing, it was something other than fiddling with it she did for comfort. "Well, are you hungry? Sit down next to Harry and I'll fix up some breakfast."
