Chapter1: unlikely twists
I could feel the wind rushing through my hair as I whirled my wand high above my head. Crimson red and glittery gold sparks flew from it in every direction. My purpose here was almost complete, and with nothing to look back on, I ran into the midst of war.

Waiting in the tower room they watched anxiously. There could only be one sound which meant that it was clear, that they were free. The old tower rocked unsteadily as the wind whizzed through the gaps in the ancient brickwork. Damp dusty portraits hung crookedly on the walls. This place hadn't been set foot in in years, the musty air unused to being breathed. Surely, they thought, this place would be undiscoverable. They were hopeful of success but they also had an abundance of doubt. The old wizened professors and other powerful members of the magic community paced around the room, bickering and uttering words of lament. All save one. One who was sitting quite happily in an armchair in the corner, thoughtfully sucking on a lemon sherbet.

The battle was fierce. Green flashes of lightening surrounded the scene. The teenage witch watched from above on the balcony at the masses of witches and wizards flowing into the shop. Her part was done. Ok. So maybe she exaggerated a bit. But that was typical of her, in her mind she blew everything out of proportion. A heavy hand laid itself on my shoulder and she swivelled around.
"Cracking good show there."
"Couldn't have said it better myself."
"Just the sort of publicity we needed for the opening of our first shop"
Oh. It was only the weasley twins. They had approached the young witch and had asked her to do a fireworks display as the outside display as they opened up inside Weasley's wizarding wheezes.
"Oi. If your gonna come into the shop then don't throw around sweets like that"
Wait a minute, was that really the legendary George weasley telling someone off for chucking things? She hadn't been here for long but she got the impression that something like this was not in the twins' character.
"Yeah. You've gotta chuck 'em like this" bellowed Fred as the twins jumped over the balcony to join in.
She smiled to herself. That was more like them, but she needed to get out of this place. She opened the door and quickly sidled out before anyone could catch her and ask anymore questions. She was tired of being the new girl having just arrived in London two days before. Many future or already Hogwarts students were curious as to who she was, but for the most part she successfully evaded these nosy, prying people. Outside it was much darker and dull. It seemed like the entire wizarding community had gathered in one area of the alley. She was currently residing in the Leaky Cauldron so she decided to head back there for the rest of the afternoon.
Rounding the corner, she was about to do the brick tapping thing that was required here when an overly large hand clamped around the girl's shoulder causing her to shriek with fright. She was being dragged through a shop towards one of the fireplaces. The girl tried to squirm around slightly so that she could get a better look at her captor whilst he flung powder in the fireplace. She couldn't move as the person, presumably male, was gripping on tight. She whizzed between various scenes of wizarding homes and shops before she came to a halt, her feet landing on some very dusty floorboards. The girl righted herself then peered into the room, taking note of a few things. One of these was, wait, she pulled out a chocolate frog card from her pocket and made the comparison. Was that... Dumbledore!?
Okay so that chapter was short I just wanted to see what people thought of it first. Please review IF you have liked it, want me to continue or have constructive critiscm . I also would welcome any plot suggestions to use later on.
