"We're not going to apparate,are we sir?" Draco seemed quiet nervous,and Alicia could not understand how Draco was afraid of apparating,when he was brave enough to step in fire and use Floo powder.
"I'm afraid that it's a yes Draco," Snape waved his wand so that everything went back to its place,Alicia's unfinished plate,Snape's plate,and Draco's spoon sailed into the kitchen,and Alicia watched them in awe as they floated back into their places.
Under his arm,Draco had the chess set, " I hope that the weather'll be good."
"Hold onto my hands tightly," Snape said,and just like that,they disapperated.
This was,and Alicia wasn't lying, the first time she'd ever been to a park. Excitement and happiness flooded her veins,but left them quickly. She wasn't here to play; she was here to escape. The swings and the monkey bars were intimidating,if only she could get on to that swing for a little bit.
She sighed,and turned,only to see Draco coughing like an old grandma. Snape had left her hand,and was now trying to calm Draco down.
"I'm all right," He gasped, " The next time can we walk and not apparate?"
Snape nodded, " We'll see about that."
"Yeah we will," Draco muttered under his breath, and got up from his once painful position.
Alicia looked around,escaping now would be very hard.
" Draco,do you want to play Hide and Seek?"
"Yes," He grinned widely, " I'm going to hide first."
"Yes," She nodded her agreement, " And then I'm going to hide."
She walked steadily towards a tree and shut her eyes tightly, " ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX!SEVEN! EIGHT! NINE! TEN!
She looked around her, and walked slowly towards the slides, " Found you!"
"That was fast!" He breathed. " I'll count till ten now."
"ONE!" His eyes were pressed against the tree,and,seeing that now was the best opportunity,she ran as fast as her legs could carry her.
She crossed the street,and ran some more,and once she was a good distance away from the park,she stopped to catch her breath.
She knew the way from here: right,left,straight ahead,left,then right again. She ran, her legs ached,her lungs burned,and her eyes stung horribly.
She stood in front of a worn out house,panting just like Draco had earlier, fear flooded her veins and she didn't dare knock. She swallowed hard,and walked towards the door.
***
He had been searching for her for 30 minutes now, " I give up!"
No answer came.
" Draco,it's getting dark," Snape called, feeling both angry and irritated.
"Professor I can't find her." Draco's voice had a slight quiver to it, " I've been searching for her for half an hour!"
For the first time in years Snape felt afraid,afraid of what the people she lives with might do to her.
'Sugarcane Street,sir' It came quickly,he didn't have to think long, " I'm afraid we'll have to apperate Draco."
And this time Draco didn't hesitate,he could hear the edge in his to-be professor's voice.
There was only one house in SugarCane Street,and it was old,yet,it had a welcome air to it. Snape strode towards it urgently,and it took all his nerves to knock and not to bang on the door.
"What?! Who?!" An old woman's voice called, " God! This is a house,not a-" The door swung open and she stopped mid-scentence, " Who are you?"
"Is she here?"
"Who? Alicia?" She gave him a scolding look, " You stay away from that girl, if you don't want me to hit you with the pan that- Oh god! The pan!"
She rushed inside,and both Snape and Draco could smell a smell of something that's been badly burnt.
"She went back to her father." The words escaped his mouth before he could stop himself.
The woman's face paled, she grabbed her coat and pushed Snape aside,and to Draco's great surprise she pulled out a wand,which must've been hers,and disapperated, " House Nr.54,Rue du Fleurs!"
Snape took Draco by the hand,and he too disapperated.
***
"Mistress shall not enter the house," A squeaky voice held her back.
Nipper,her mother's house elf appeared out of nowhere.
" Nipper?! I-I thought you were dead!" She gasped,and her face broke into a grin. She bent down and picked her up in a bear hug.
The house elf spoke frantically, " Mistress you shall not enter the house,for master Edward is very angry tonight!"
"Tell me what to do then Nipper," She sighed,and set her down reluctantly, " If I don't do this he'll do what he wanted to do with me the last time."
" Mistress shall not cry!" The house elf squeaked, surprised to see her friend crying; she'd never seen her cry before, Alicia has always been strong and independent.
The door to house Nr.54 swung open,and Alicia stood there,horrorstruck.
