0.1 ~New Orleans

Hermione Pov: I had just gotten of the plane and went to get a taxi to take me to my new apartment.After moths of travelling the world I have decided to make New Orleans my new home,I don't know what drew me to this place.Maybe it was the landscape or historical events or even the aggrandizement of culture and food.But I couldn't wait,I needed an escape from the events of second war...all of the deaths,blood,destruction.... I had to leave that world behind.I have no family,I now it's impossible to talk to any of people who I care about,I had to throw away any chances of happiness due to fear.I was afraid.... lost.... broken.... and no one could save me,so I left.Hoping that on this new adventure I could finally begin to repair the broken pieces of myself.But in reality check,I knew the was no way of getting the old me back not after everything I've seen.However I still wanting to try,I never stopped having faith when Bellatrix Lestrange tortured me due to being a muggleborn and being friends with Harry.So,yeah that's the other reason why I moved to New Orleans as I think back to the events the taxi stops moving.I got out of the taxi and grabbed hold of my trunk as payed the guy before heading to the apartment building.After talking to landlord,I went straight to my room and placed my truck inside my bedroom and then used my wand to unpack my belongings.I go into the living room to see the balcony which is my favourite part of the apartment,I walked outside to see people walking around being lively and cheerful and I can't help but smile.I had gotten this apartment due to being closer to town square so I didn't need to travel too far for shopping and sightseeing.I leave the balcony,I make my way to leave the apartment not before I grabbed my wand,I made my way down the stairs of the building.I'm so glad that Hogwarts was the only place in the world that had too many stairs they where blessing and curse.I get outside to see that it's night,I'll sigh before I start I walk around the town seeing all the bright colours and different cultures.I see people dressed in different era clothing,as the research I did said that most people in New Orleans liked to wear clothing from different centuries to show their respect and appreciation.Which one of the reasons I love about this city,I also see people dressed up in Mardi Gras you can tell from the colours,feathers,crowns,masks.I make my way through the city and I look up to see the moon,people say at night that's when almost people seem to reflect on about their lives.I could hardly agree with that statement,as I've been doing that for last few months.I thought until I feel someone bash right into,I go to shout at the person but I look up to see no one there.I continued to walk around until I hear a bang come from alleyway,I know what it's unwise to go into alleyway in middle of night but someone could be hurt.I make my way towards the alleyway,it looked pretty normal to me but looks can be deceiving.I drawn out my wand,I look at the pitch black alleyway  before saying,"lumos"and my wand shines light to reveal a black shadow.In any situation you would think the best thing would be to runaway,but something in me made me go over.As I approach the shadow,I air feels more tense and I gradually feel the ends on hair on my neck rise.I rise my wand slightly to see more better,I closely looked at the walls which to show had blood marking on the wall and scratches.I get closer and my nerves are getting stronger making it impossible for me to breathe slightly,I lower my wand and behind the rubbish and crates is a..... wolf.... What on earth is a wolf doing so out at here at night,I look closer to see deep  wounds  and scars.The wolf seems to be bigger than other wolves,if I'm correct like I normally are that means this wolf is werewolf.If I remember from third year,werewolves and I do not work well together,however I can't leave he or she.Not if wounds as badly as they are,I go and gently wrap my arms around without hurting he/she.I some how is able to carry the werewolf through out the city without being seen,and is able to sneak the wolf into my apartment without no one finding out.I open and closed the door before putting the wolf onto my couch slowly not to cause any more pain,then I turned to my right to see a blanket and I placed it onto the werewolf.I go and get the over sized male hoodie I had gotten to how comfortable it is don't judge me you would do the same.Next I grabbed hold of men gym shorts and go back into the living and leave clothes on coffee table.Before making my way into my bedroom to get some sleep,I quickly get changed into my pjs and placed my wand on side counter I have in my room.I turn off the lamp also went into my bed covers before falling asleep.
