Runaway
I walked down the dark path to Knockturn Alley, my only hope for finding a job or a place to stay. I knew times were tough but not this bad, but I guess I've never been on the streets so this must be normal. I try the only store that is familiar to me Borgin and Burke's. When I was thirteen and Bellatrix fifteen she brought me here. It was Narcissa's first year at Hogwarts so mum and dad were busy dealing with here. Bellatrix was to keep an eye on me. I protested and told mum I was thirteen and that I could handle myself but she told me that if I separated from Bellatrix I would be grounded for the remainder of the summer. Bellatrix had a certain fascination with the Lestrange boys and an older boy named Antonin. I later found out that these four were starting to get involved in deatheaters business together.
Bellatrix found them and then we did our school shopping. Bellatrix told me that the last thing we needed was mum and dad getting suspicous of her. It was really me doing the shopping and not her. In Flourish and Bott's I had to get all of her school books because she was do busy with her tongue down Rodolphulus's throat. After we had all of the shopping done she called over the boys and had a private conversation with them. I wanted to hear them but Bellatrix told me to stand back and that this was her business.
"Andy" Bellatrix called over to me, "we need to go to Knockturn Alley for something and since I can't leave you here you must come with us. If you tell mum and dad where we went I swear I will have a good friend of mine kill are we clear." Bellatrix was getting to be a mean older sister by the day so I didn't argue. "Crystal" I said sarcastically and followed Bellatrix down the dark alley.
Not much has changed since then in Knockturn Alley. The street is still dark and the people are still shady. Back when Bellatrix took me here Borgin and Burkes was deserted and it still is. Bellatrix that day came to Borgin and Burkes to get a locket that had been waiting for her. She told me she had to deliver it to a friend, and at the time it didn't bother me that much but now it does. As I walk up to the counter I realize it is the same man that was here ten years ago.
"What do you want" he asks rudely I can tell he's been drinking a little because he smells like firewhiskey. "I am in need of a job and I was wondering if you had any openings." The man looked vaguely interested for he was looking at me up and down like I was something to eat. As he broke out of his trace he spoke "I do need some help here but I will need some help in the back my dear so I guess I can hire you. Are you in need off an apartment?" The man is being awfully generous and I do need an apartment. "Yes" I reply. "Well your in luck because there is a small room in the back big enough to be a bedroom and it has a kitchen and bathroom attached. You can stay there free of charge as long as you help me here and in the back." I don't know what he meant by helping in the back but I agreed to work for him and to stay in the small apartment.
Late that night I heard something on the stairs. I knew it couldn't be a costumer because the back entrance was locked. I tried to fall back asleep but someone walked into the room. "Sweetie" the man whose name I found out was Christopher said "I find I need some help in the back". I turned to get out of bed and found that the man was completely undressed and completely hard as well. "Get out" I shouted and fumbled to find my wand. Just as I grabbed hold of it he shouted "expelliramus". "But my dear" he continued "do you want this apartment do you want to keep working here because if not I will throw you out on the streets now." I tried to stand up I tried to run away but I couldn't because if I did I would never see Nymphadora again and my stupid sister would win.
I laid on the bed and let him come closer and do the dirty business he had come to do. It felt like earlier with Rodolphulus and Rabastan this was completely unwanted and undeseired and painful. After he was done he spoke again "You will find that many of my regular costumers have my same need, the last girl tried to run but one of my friends killed her before she could. I suggest you get used to this and don't try to run you seem bright so I will trust you. Don't lose that trust." And at that he left and I turned into my pillow and cried.
