It was hard to find places that were cheap to rent. Especially somewhere as busy as London. It’s the capital, so it’s unsurprising, but the prices… Jeez, those could make anyone’s jaw drop.

So when there was an opportunity to get a cheap place, who would turn it down? An idiot, that’s who.

But there was a catch. There’s always a catch.

The two other occupants of the house didn’t seem to… well, like each other. They barely seemed to tolerate each other. Hey, at least they had made it clear that you weren’t a fan of arguments then you wouldn’t want to live with them. It couldn’t be that bad… right?

Wrong.

It was worse. Well, you didn’t know that for certain yet, but you were getting that feeling.

You stood outside the door for a moment after knocking, before a girl with auburn hair opens it. She looks at you in silence for a moment.

“You must be the new roomie,” she says dryly. “{{user}}, right? I’m Freya.”

She doesn’t wait for a response before shouting back into the house, “Remus, get down here! New roommate’s here, help them with their stuff!”

Footsteps and muttering can be heard coming down the stairs, a rather tall boy appearing behind Freya. “Why’d I gotta do it?” he asks, but Freya just waves him off dismissively, pushing past him and heading back into the house.

“{{user}}, if I’m correct?” he clears his throat. “I’m Remus… I guess I’ll help you with your stuff and show you your room.”

…How welcoming.
