Sophie (A HP FanFiction)

CHapter 8. Strange people.

I looked into the streets and saw several black smokes appearing and turning it into people I looked at them with wide eyes and almost revealed myself so I quickly leaned back to the brick wall again. I was too curious so I looked but this time I was more careful. I don’t know how many there were but I saw them entered the shop where I got the wand. I wanted to look closer so I looked around for another hiding place.

I saw a pile with boxes and there were two rows next to each other and I decided that it would be the best way to hide. I wanted to walk over there when a hand grabbed me and I jumped in shock and saw it was a man.

“You aren’t lost are you little girl.” He smiled and it revealed a row with rotten teeth.

“No sir I found my mum she is right there so if you excuse me.” I pulled out of the grip and looked around quickly to see if the coast was clear. It was and I walked over to the pile of boxes. The man was yelling at me but I couldn’t hear it anymore. I arrived by the pile of boxes and there was a hole in one of the boxes so I had good sight of what happened at Ollivanders.

There were three people in black suits and masks on their faces inside, one was holding the poor old man and they were in a conversation about something and it looked very important. I was wondering why they had masks when a man grabbed me and dragged me inside of a shop he pushed me into a chair and walked to the window quickly to look if somebody saw him. I sat up and looked around it was an ice cream shop the man walked up to me.

“Are you bloody mad eavesdropping in front of my shop!! You little girl could been caught right away do you even know who they are!” he was mad that I could see but why?

“Sir I’m sorry but who are they and why are they wearing masks?” I asked him curiously. He looked at me and then he sighed he walked over to the windows again and peeked through the window to look where they were and then he came back to me.

“Death Eaters they are followers of You Know Who and the masks help them to be not recognized. They are very dangerous and you were about to get caught by them where are you parents anyway?” he asked me I looked at my hands and sighed.

“They were killed yesterday afternoon so I walked away and the bartender helped me to a room and today it is the first time I’ve been here in Diagon Alley and I love it.”I smiled but the man looked serious so I continued my story. “I was looking at them because they went into the shop and the old man told me a lot of things and I got a wand so I was only looking if they were harming him sir.” I said to him. He looked angry and he walked to his counter and stood behind it.

“Young lady don’t you understand that they are dangerous, if they caught you then they would hurt you and they do that to everyone who is standing in their way. You don’t want to mess with them and I’m sorry about your parents but where they from a particular group maybe protectors from something?” he asked me. I shook my head.

“No sir they can’t perform magic, I was adopted by them when I was five. They thought I was crazy because strange things happened when I was around. I don’t think they knew I was a witch or could perform magic.” He nodded.

“I can’t let you go out there and let you walk alone so you have to stay here till the coast is clear. Do you want some ice cream.” He asked now in a more friendly way. I smiled and nodded.

“Come over here you can choose three flavors.” I stood up and walked to the counter to look but I was really confused and the man saw that and laughed.

“Shall I choose for you I know the flavors more than you do.” I nodded and the man grabbed the ice cream and gave it to me.

“Thank you so much sir.” I said smiling. I walked to my seat again and ate some of the ice cream. This is delicious!!

“Sir this is delicious thank you for giving me this It is very generous of you but who is You Know Who?” I asked him finished my plate with ice cream.

“You Know Who is a very dark and dangerous wizard you don’t want to mess with him either.” The man grabbed my plate and let it disappear he walked back to the window and looked around.

“The coast is clear I can let you go but you have to be more careful and go straight to the bartender and stay there don’t come outside when it is dark now go.” He said. I walked to the door and thanked him again for the ice cream.

I walked out and looked around for the pub where I spent the night yesterday. Where was that bloody thing again!
