I had managed to get the knight bus all the way to London, and I was now trying to find my way to Justin's house. He had given me his address and I had wrote it down on a piece of paper, which was currently in my hand. I was walking down the road when I felt someone staring at me from the other side of the road. I looked over and sure enough there was a young enough women looking at me.

When I had a closer look at the women, I realised that she had pink hair! She realised I was staring and started to make her way across the street.

It was only then that I realised that she was carrying a stick. Why was she carrying a sti- Oh shit! That's not a stick it's a wand. Run Charlotte. Run as fast as you can! I said in my head.

I spun around on my foot and started running down the road. Fear rushed through my body as I turned down a narrow alley. I ran to the end of the alley hoping that it would lead to a different street. If I wasn't being chased, I'm sure I would have noticed the wall sooner. But me, being me, ran head first into the wall.

I groaned at the impact and fell straight on my back.

"That's gonna hurt tomorrow." A soft voice said from behind me. I stood up slowly, still not having had a look at the pink haired, mystery woman. It was only now that I realised how nervous I was. My hands were shaking. What if mother and father realised that I am gone and the woman behind me is a death-eater come to take me back!

Well if she is a death-eater........I'm fucked.

Swallowing the lump that had formed in my throat, I turned around to face the mystery woman.

"What's your name?" She asked, watching me wearily. Probably wondering if I would run off again.

"What's your name?" I counter. Wondering if she's a death-eater that was going to flick her wand and bring me back to my house.

"I asked first." She said, with a small smile.

"And I asked second, who cares. I am not going to tell you my name unless you tell me yours first." I say with a small smirk.

"I'm Tonks. And you are." She answers reluctantly.

I think. Do I tell her my real name or give a different name. I still don't trust her so I am going to go with the option of a different name. "My name is Hermione Granger." I say. Hermione's name being the first that popped into my head. She smirks. "I don't believe you." She states. I sigh irritably. "Does it look like I care wether or not you believe what my name is!"

"Okay. If you are Hermione Granger then what is your blood status?" She asks with a smirk on her face, probably thinking that I don't know that Hermione is a muggleborn.

"Muggleborn." I say, really annoyed that she's interrogating me. She looks surprised at my answer.

"Okay. I'll get to the point. I've seen pictures of Hermione and you are not her. Now are you going to tell me your name." She says. I don't answer her. "Okay then. Are you at least going to tell me what Hogwarts house your in?" She asks. "How do you know that I'm a witch?" I ask her, surprised. " You have your wand out." She says.

Duh Charlotte.

"Oh." I say. "Soooo....are you going to answer the questions?" Tonks asks.
"It depends. Are you a death-eater?"I ask her. She looks shocked at this question. "No! I'm not a death-eater!" She exclaims. She looks like she's telling the truth. I sigh. "I'm a Gryffindor" I say.

"And what is a young Gryffindor such as yourself doing wondering around London at this hour of the night." She asks, looking intrigued. I don't say anything. Should I really be trusting this random women.

"You can trust me." She says, almost as if she's reading my mind.

"Running away from the Slytherin bastards at my house." I say reluctantly.

She smiles at me and says, "You remind me of my cousin."

I look at her wearily and ask, "Who's your cousin?"

She holds out her hand to me and says, "Why don't you come and meet him for yourself." When I don't take her hand she says, "Unless you want to stay here for the night then I suggest taking my hand." I sigh and reluctantly take her hand.

She pulls me out of the alley that we had been in and down the main road. Once we reach a street of houses she looks around. What the hell is she doing! I ask myself. She takes out her wand and taps the wall of the house in front of us three times. Then she stands back. I look closely as the house with number eleven on it, moves to the left and the house with number thirteen on it, moves to the right. A house with the number twelve on it comes out from in between the two. "Wow." I say breathlessly. I turn to Tonks to see that she's smiling, "Welcome to Number Twelve Grimmauld Place!"
