1996
Saturday September 11th
On the other side is Ginny waiting, she is panting, I realise that we are in Diagon-alley. I look around and the streets are empty, except, a very tall man and I recognize him and his bike immediately: "Hagrid" I sigh relieved, luckily, he hears me, and we ride with him back to Hogwarts, no questions asked. We sit in his hut for a while drinking tea, and then he asks: "What were you two doing in Diagon-alley this late?"
"We were chased, and suddenly we were in Diagon-alley."
Hagrid: "Alright, but why were you not on school grounds?"
Ginny: "We were at the three broomsticks, and we were on our way back, but then someone started chasing us into a dark alley and that alley led us to Diagon-alley"
Hagrid: "Right"
He doesn't look like he believes us, but that's fine, he doesn't need to, I'm just glad that he saved us from the dark figures and the clown, but I never found out who was crying. And then Hagrid says: "Might be time you two get back to the castle."
Ginny: "Right"
Ginny and I walk outside, and I am quite scared that the dark figures appear again, I start running towards the castle and Ginny follows, I first stop running when I am in the Gryffindor common room. Ginny's breath is quick, quicker than mine, and it scares me. We both sit down and lean our heads on the wall, trying to catch our breaths, it takes a while, I can still hear my heartbeat, beating unnaturally fast. Ginny leans into me and I hold her tightly, I feel so safe with Ginny that it doesn't take long before my heartbeat slows down and becomes natural again. I keep holding her as she says: "It's getting late, we should go to bed."
"You're right."
I get up first and then I help her get up and I follow her to her room, I kiss her just before she walks into her room.
I go back to mine, and I throw myself on my bed as I hear Hermione's voice: "Harlow, is it you?"
I answer a little grumpy mostly because I'm exhausted: "Yes, it's me."
Hermione: "Where were you?"
"Out with Ginny"
Hermione: "This late"
"I'll answer all your questions tomorrow, just let me sleep."
Hermione: "Okay, goodnight then"
And I fall asleep fully dressed.
