My hand slams into Pansy's chest, pushing her backwards from the shop. Grabbing the clothing at her neck with one hand, and my other pushing her shoulder, she falls flat against the wall. My hand slams against her mouth before she begins to shout. Her eyes are a conflicted mess of anger and worry, searching mine for some answers. Giving her a small nod, I let my hand fall away.

"What the fuck Amara." She snarls at me, although making no attempt to push me away.

"Dolohov and Karkaroff."

Her eyes roll and her head falls back against the wall. "Fucks sake."

"We need to go back."

"No shit." Pansy pushes herself from the wall, grabbing my arm and heading back to the alley. We run next to each other, not even turning behind to check we are being followed.

My head flashes back and forth between the past few days. I haven't used my magic, so it's not that. I assumed they probably just followed the bike trail when they were here the first day. But here again? They must know we are here.

Pansy lets go of me when we reach the house, rapping on the door 4 time to signal we are back. Draco pulls it open, not even having time to speak before Pansy flies inside, me closely following.

"What the fuck Pansy?" Draco calls after us as we head to the kitchen. Everyone is here now, including Mattheo who I avoid looking at.

"Where's the food?" Theo questions.

"Dolohov and Karkaroff were in the shop." Pansy pants, putting her hand on the table.

"They had pictures, showing the worker. Of us I'm guessing."

"I thought the death eaters searched here the other day, why are they back? Enzo stands.

"They must know we are here somewhere." I run my hands through my hair.

"We need to leave." Pansy exclaims

"Leave?" Draco questions back.

"We've been here, what? Not even 4 days? They've already found us."

"Where do we go Pansy, we still can't fucking apparate and we have no escape plan or anything."

"It's not safe to stay."

"Are we not in a fucking safe house?"

"We have no food, no way of getting food. If those two are here then that means he KNOWS we are here. There's likely to be dozens more death eaters around the town."

"And you think just walking out there is a good idea?" Mattheo interrupts. "We are better off waiting it out, then we can leave."

"What if they find us while we are sat here waiting?"

"The wards on the house are strong." Enzo interrupt. "We can wait here until tomorrow, then get a bus out."

"A bus?" Pansy replies?

"What the fuck is a bus?" Draco continues, scowling in confusement.

"It's like a big car, a huge long car." Enzo begins to explain. "They go to certain places and anyone can get on, you pay the driver and you go to the place."

"That could work." Theo answers.

"Or we go now." I say.

"Now?" Draco questions.

"Yes, now." I step further into the circle. We only saw 2 death eaters. Yes there is probably more but, if they know we are here then they will stay here till they find us. They will bring more in everyday until we are found. We should go now while their ranks are thin."
