Arrival
"Madam?"
"Miss? Are you okay?"
"We should call for the ambulance!"
My head ached. It almost felt like someone was sitting on me and there were so many voices around me. Were these voices in my head?
"Okay, I think she is opening her eyes. Someone get some water!"
I somehow opened my eyes and shut them back again, there was too much light. I opened them once again and waited for my eyes to adjust to the light and after a few moments I could see everyone around me.
"Miss, are you okay?" asked one of the many heads around me.
"Yes" I replied while looking around, trying to find out where I was but to no avail, "Where am I?" I finally asked.
"You really did hit your head hard, didn't you?" one of them said as they all burst laughing while I sat confused and waiting for an answer.
"You're in Marson Town, lady. Now can you remember everything?"
Well obviously I remembered everything, I just wanted to know where Tungsten had dropped me off.
"Yes, thank you so much. I feel much better now, thank you so much." I said as I got up from the pavement where I had been found by a bunch of strangers. I thanked them again and again until they all left. Once every one of them had left, I sat on a nearby bench to take in everything that had happened in the past 24 hours.
The Ministry officials would be hot on my trail.
The Malfoys were in danger and there was nothing I could do.
Harry and Ron must be worried sick.
Blaise Zabini must be in a bad condition.
I was stupid enough to not carry a single penny of Muggle money.
"Have I interrupted Madams thoughts?" came a squeak, "Apologies, madam. Tungsten has only come to help Madam!"
"Tungsten!" Gosh, I was so happy to see him!
"Here" he said as he handed me a piece of paper. "I have to leave Madam, things are not very well back home and my absence would only lead them to you." And before I could respond, he vanished. And now I was staring at the place where only moments ago Tungsten was standing. The wind blew and kissed my face and reminded me of the paper Tungsten had given to me.
In poor handwriting, Tungsten had managed to scribble- 12, Peninsula, Bartor Street, opposite Gold Meds. He seemed to have written an address. I got up from my bench and looked around to find some direction board or anyone who could help me. I walked towards the intersection and was delighted to find people at the bus stop.
"Excuse me, I seem to have lost my way, could you tell me which way leads me to Bartor Street?" I asked one of the men standing at the bus stop.
"How hard did you hit your head?" he asked as he peeked in to the paper I was holding.
I chose to not answer that question.
"Sorry, but you are on Bartor Street and right there is Peninsula." He said and pointed to a blue building.
"Thank you so much."
I made my way to the Peninsula and thankfully the door was open. If there was something Tungsten had forgotten to give to me was the key of this place that he was leading me to. I went up to the third floor to find the door number 12. But unlike the main gate of the building, this was not unlocked.
"Great!" I exclaimed, wondering what to do now. I tried knocking but my knocks went unanswered. And then finally I realised that I didn't need a wand to do magic, I could do wandless magic.
"Aloha—" I stopped midway. The ministry can still track me. "Great, how do I open this door now?"
I turned the knob and launched at the door and to my surprise, I was now on the other side of the door. I closed the door behind me, just to be sure. The living room was cozy and had two couches on either side, there was an open kitchen on my left and on my right was the door to a bedroom. I walked into the bedroom and opened the closets and found clothes and money. Was all of this stuff mine? I walked towards the window and the view was of the street where I was once standing and asking for directions. The people at the bus stop were nowhere to be seen.
I was tired, it was exhausting to be on the run. I had done it once and now only 2 years later, I was again on the run. I sat down on the bed and looked at the bedside table to find a key lying on top of it.
"Oh, Tungsten" I couldn't help but smile at his goofiness.
I know I didn't update for sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long but I had this major writers block!
