Natalja opened her eyes and stared up at the ceiling. She could hear the rain hitting the window and the sound reminded her of gunshots. While rubbing her eyes she sat up in the small bed and took a look at her surroundings, just to throw away the fluffy quilt and run through the dark room, to the window.
As she reached the window, she tripped over what seemed to be some kind of animal, since it gave away a sq-eek and ran to the other side of the room. She leered out through the window, seeing the dim lights from the lamps outside the house. She couldn't see much since it was still night, and the raindrops on the window didn't make it any easier for her. So Natalja turned around and tried to get a better look at the animal she had tripped on.
"Hi there, who ever you might be."She whispered and tip-toed towards the animal.
It gave away a growl and backed away from her.
"You don't have anything to be afraid of." She whispered again.
"I would never hurt an animal, just so that you know, I have my own. A ferret actually. To think about it, I wonder where he is." She looked over her shoulder, as if her beloved pet would be there. But the only thing she saw was the empty bed she had slept on.
"Oh well, Ill find him sooner or later. Now back to you, who might you be?" She took a few steps closer, but the animal growled louder and backed into a corner of the room.
"There, there. I wont bite you." She said and laughed quietly.
"If you do not want me to come any closer, I will just..sit down here."
And so Natalja sat down on the wooden floor, whispering to her new companion.
"You see, I don't really know how I got here..really. Ive never seen this room before, or the houses outside. But I guess something happened last night that I must've forgotten. Hopefully I will remember..sooner or later."
She started to play with her hair, which was a bad habit of hers. But since she wasn't concentrating on the animal in front of her, she didn't notice that it had started to move towards her.
Suddenly, Natalja could feel a wet nose being pushed against her hand, and she looked down only to see a, what it appeared to be, dogs head. She smiled and reached out to pet the dog, but when she was about to touch it, it shrugged and once again it backed away into the corner. Natalja sighed, but did no attempt to move closer to the animal.
"You know, Mr.Doggie. I think I'm gonna get some sleep. But I will stay here on the floor with you, just in case."And with that she laid down on the floor and closed her eyes. After awhile she was sound asleep.

There was something about Louie Ainsworth that made people shiver. Perhaps it was her unusual look, or maybe the attitude she had towards strangers. In any case, she wasn't one of those persons that you would make contact with at first. This was not a surprise for Louie, on the contrary, Louie was aware of this, but she did not care a bit. Those who did not dare to talk to her did not deserve to be noticed. And those who thought that they could stand up against her, well they couldn't be more wrong.
"Hey slime face, did you say something?"Louie's voice echoed through the park, and people stopped, trying to figure out what was going on between the pink haired girl, and the not-so-thin-over class-guy near the swings.
"Yes, indeed I did, Ms. Hedgehog." The guy smirked and the rest of his gang, which was standing behind him, burst out in laughter. Louie gave him a cocky smile.
"So you are referring to my piercings? I see, I see. But you know..kiddo. "At that the guy stiffened, Louie continued.
"At least Im getting laid."
The wind could be heard, blowing slowly through the park, making the swings squeak. The guy stared at her, not wanting to believe that she just said what she said. Louie just sat down on one of the swings, and started to swing back and forward, still wearing the cocky smile on her lips.
"Chris, you don't have to listen to this. DO SOMETHING!" One of the guys said, most likely pissed off at her comment about his leader.
"SHUT UP!" Chris roared and pushed away the guy, taking a step forward.
"You whore." He hissed.
Louie stared blankly on him, and then said."Perhaps, "Mr. I-have-no-penis.2 So at least I am wanted, but it seems that no one wants YOU. So don't come here and think that you're so COOL, with your gang and that your family is richer than mine. Cause I don't give a shit about it."
"My father is the greatest wizard in the whole, wide world. I can't say the same about yours, though. MY family is one of the most successive wizards, which means that Im an awesome wizard too." And with that he smiled cocky at her. She raised an eyebrow and burst out into laughter.
"YOU? AWSOME!? GAHAHAHAHHAAHAHHAH!" Chris's face turned bright red and he fingered on his wand. "Don't you dare to laugh at a Smith." And with that he pulled out his wand and aimed it towards her.

Natalja opened her eyes slowly, taking in her surroundings once again. She sat up on the floor, groaning as her fingers started to sting after being mashed under her head for God knows how long. She pulled her knees' up to her head, resting her cheek on them. "
What am I doing here?"
--
Louie stepped aside and yawned."I'm sorry, Chris. But it's getting late and I should get home for dinner now. We'll continue playing tomorrow, see ya!"
She showed her hands into her pockets, turned on the spot and vanished.
"Y-you're not allowed to use magic outside school!!" Chris shouted, trying to keep his pride.His friends sighed, and a younger boy said, "I think Lou is so cool! Like she's just soooo amazing!" And he threw a fist up into the air.
"Shut up!" Chris smacked him on the back of his head and muttered "Let's go home."
One of Chris's friends' turned around when he saw something sitting in the bushes. "..A fox?"
The fox glared at him and then, at least that's what he thought it did, it grinned at him. He took a step backwards and took a closer look at the fox. "Aren't you..." The fox turned around and disappeared into the darkness of a large tree.

A loud bark and a man's voice brought her back. She stood up and leaned her head and ear against the door. "I told you a thousand times before, you dickwad! I will NOT give in to you, ok?"
There was another bark and Natalja could hear the man sigh. "Fine." He said, and she could hear footsteps getting closer to the door. "Chill, I'm opening the freaking door, OK!?" Natalja threw herself down on the floor, knocking her head in the table that stood in the middle of the room in the progress. "Ouch.." She mumbled, and rubbed her soar head.

Louie jumped up the stairs outside Grimmauld Place and walked through the small opening at the bottom of the door. When she came inside, she ran down the stairs to the kitchen and she saw that everyone had already started to eat. She tried to make herself smaller and she sneaked towards an empty chair that stood next to a boy with very red hair. Just as she thought that she might actually make it without being noticed, a voice cried out.
"LOUISE AINSWORTH! Where have you been?" Louie jumped into the air and when she landed again, she had transformed from a red fox to herself again.
"Ouch, my ass. Omg, it hurts.." A short, round woman stood above her and pulled her up to her feet by the back of her bright, pink t-shirt.
"I'm sorry, Mrs.Weasly. It won't happen again, I promise!!" Louie bowed and slowly backed towards the empty chair without looking up from the floor.
"You've said that three times this week, young lady!" Mrs. Weasly gave her a stern look before she returned to her own chair.
"Louise?" The boy next to Louie laughed. "Shut up, George!" She smacked him on the back of his head.
"No more smex for you this month!" Everyone around the table chocked on their soup, and George's twin brother, Fred, spit his soup in the face of their younger sister, who was sitting on the other side of the table.
Pleased with the effect, Louie helped herself with the food, wearing a big grin on her face.
