We're Not Safe Here
"Mr. Potter, at last" Was the first thing I heard after the bloody thing stopped moving. I could not get off of that bus faster, I was so nauseous.
"Room 11" The hunchback looking guy said to someone about our bags when I finally fully came around without Harry having to hold me up.
"Hedwig" Harry said as he walked into the room the man led us too.
"Right smart bird you got there, Mr. Potter. He arrived here just five minutes before yourself" The man behind us said as I looked around for Midnight becoming disappointed but then the Minister of Magic made himself known.
"As Minister for Magic, it is my duty to inform you, Mr. Potter......earlier this evening your uncle's sister was located......a little south of Sheffield,circling a chimney stack. The Accidental Magic Reversal Department was dispatched immediately. She has been properly punctured and her memory modified. She will have no recollection of the incident whatsoever. So that's that......and no harm done. Pea soup?" Me and Harry were looking at each other very confused.
The Minister was being far too nice about this.
"No, thank you. Minister?" Harry said.
"Yes?" Again overly kind seems like it was almost fake.
"I don't understand" I don't understand either.
" Understand?" Fudge said.
"I broke the law. Underage wizards can't use magic at home." I feel like you're getting away with this Harry.
"Come now. The Ministry doesn't send people to Azkaban.....for blowing up their aunts.On the other hand, running away like that, given the state of things....was very, very irresponsible" I turned to Harry confused.
The state of things? I thought wondering how something is always happening in Harry's world.
"The state of things," sir?" Harry asked as confused as I.
" We have a killer on the loose" Oh great so glad we're back in it.
"Sirius Black, you mean?" I turned to Harry did I miss something.
"But what's he got to do with me?" Probably everything.
"Nothing, of course. You're safe" he's lying "And that's what matters and tomorrow you'll be on your way back to Hogwarts. These are your new schoolbooks. I took the liberty of having them brought here. Now Tom will show you to your room." Well this all seems like a very great show of covering his own arse especially since I only see one set of schoolbooks.
"Hedwig" Hedwig flew to Harry's arm.
"Oh, by the way, Harry. Whilst you're here, it would be best if you didn't...wander" Yep Harry's in trouble.
"You'll follow me, Mr. Potter," Tom said, "I've already taken your things up. . . . "
We followed Tom up a handsome wooden staircase to a door with a brass number eleven on it, which Tom unlocked and opened for us. Inside was a very comfortable-looking bed, some polished oak furniture,and a cheerfully crackling fire.
"And I also have a room for you Ms. Potter" Tom bowed to Harry as I was a little bit in shock about getting my own room. Harry smiled at me and nodded to go ahead as he sat on the bed.
My room was right across from Harry's once I was in it Tom bowed and left. The room was exactly the same but had a window looking down an alleyway. The window had a place to sit to look from it. Maybe I could do some reading since I'm probably going to be up all night thinking about Midnight. I walked over to Harry's room and he was passed out cold. His schoolbooks had been brought up I grabbed The Essential Defence Against the Dark Arts. Probably going to be some light reading I chuckled to myself as I walked over to Harry and put a blanket over him. I went to my room and made myself comfortable at the little nook of the window. I even opened it letting the cool night air in as I took my hair out of the messy bun it's been in for days. The moon was out so bright that I didn't even have to turn a light on in the room for reading. I looked up at it and it wasn't quite a full moon but looked pretty close to it. I was comfortable for a time.
It was an hour into the book finishing the chapter on werewolves now reading about vampires and I suddenly jumped at the sound of a howl. I even dropped my book on the floor in the process as I heard another howl. It was close almost as if it was coming from the alley as another howl was heard as I was frozen in place in a state of fear with how close it was. I don't know what came over me but I slowly turned my head then I looked down to the alleyway and I saw a man. It was somewhat dark then I realized from it that the moonlight was shown right on me. I was clear as day as this man was in darkness but he could move into the light that was there if he wanted to be seen but he didn't I suppose. I wondered how long he had been standing there just looking up at me leaning his back against the wall of the alley. I leaned over the windows edge looking down at him. I know he was a big man that was for sure but not as big as Hagrid I smiled laughing a little to myself thinking of him and the man tilted his head up at me, no longer leaning against the wall.
I started to feel increasingly uncomfortable as he kept staring up at me, not saying anything and barely moving. It felt like he was coming closer as I now could see his clothes that were black and tightly fitted against him. I at first calmed at seeing a man not a werewolf down there but now I was scared because the howling must have came from him. He had moved closer and I could see his shirt was opened with a very hairy chest. He seemed almost beastly not human or wizard. He suddenly became familiar to me like I have met him before but could not think of where I could have. But before I knew it his face was now in the light and I gasped.
Knockturn Alley.
Fenrir Greyback.
I instantly closed the window and ran to Harry's room.
I casted a locking spell and protection spell on his door. I jumped into bed with him.
"Harry wake up please wake up" I was shaking him.
"Mira you can stay in here just go to sleep" he said groggy.
"Harry there's a werewolf outside" I nearly cried out and Harry responded with putting a pillow over his head. I suppose I would just have wait to for us to be eaten. I settled in the bed while staring at the door.
Let's say I didn't get any sleep but a werewolf never came that night.
I didn't spend the night scared though.
I spent it annoyed by the Wizarding world we were born into.
Who knows who Sirus Black is but he's probably after Harry with his luck.
I spent the night reading about creatures that like to eat humans.
And now I have a werewolf outside my window.
We're not safe here I thought looking down at Harry sleeping like a baby.
