Harry was protesting quite loudly, but the person turned out to be a young
woman of the late twenties, with long black hair and white blond streaks.
"Get away from me or I'll shout", Harry demanded.
"Do you want to draw unnecessary attention on yourself, with all those
Death Eaters out there?", she replied. "Don't worry I'm here to protect
you". Harry didn't quite know whether to trust her or not, but she hadn't
attacked him yet so it was safe to say she could be trusted.
"Why did you want to protect me?", Harry asked.
The young woman looked at him oddly and replied, "I would have thought
that you had more brains. What with You Know Who trying you to attack you
at your house". She could see Harry's confused look and replied, "Yes I do
know about that incident". She looked around the corner and saw that the
Death Eaters had disappeared.
"Its safe now", she said.
"Where have they gone?", Harry asked.
"Probably disapparated I suppose", she replied. "Well I must go now, you
are safe now". And with that she walked off into the crowd and Harry lost
sight of her in the throng.
Hermione and Ron ran over to him and both asked concerned, "What
happened to you?".
"Some woman pulled me away", Harry replied confused. "What happened?"
"Some Death Eaters started threatening the crowd and when Ministry
wizards arrived, they disapparated.", Ron replied. Come on, we'd better
find Mum, she'll be worried". Harry, Ron and Hermione pushed their way
through the panicky crowd and found Mrs Weasley with Fred and George and
Ginny beside Gringotts Bank.
"Oh thank heaven you're safe", she said to the three. "Come on lets go
home".
