Chapter 14-
Her big curious eyes twinkled as she hobbled down from the bed and reached Ron. "How did you..." he stopped, looking her over head to foot.
She was white as a ghost, bruises and bloodstains all over her. Her clothes were tattered and torn and she had circles around her eyes. Her glasses, which had apparently been on at the time, were cracked and laying on the top of her head. Her hair was the only thing that had remained untouched. It was held up in a messy bun.
He looked down at her leg and then back to her eyes. "Ellie...what has happened to you...and... The owl? What..." He stopped again seeing a smile extend across her face.
"Hullo Ron." She started her voice weaker than Rons'. "There is much to be told, my dear friend, and little time to do it..." She sighed and lay her hand down onto his bed. "I have heard your story, and now you must here mine. And you may find, that they intertwine." She laughed and began her long dangerous story.
"First," she laughed, "I better explain my owl "trick". Well...you see my friend Alex; she's just in-love with potions and making trouble. SO she of course had to try her animagi potion out! Well she left it in our room on afternoon, when she was finished with it. I was walking to get a my glasses and I tripped over her animagi book into the potion." She laughed again remembering the memory.
"You're and animagi?" Ron asked, sounding interested.
"Shhhhh! I'm an illegal one!" She sighed again, sitting on the edge of Rons' bed. "Not by choice, but I can change into a white owl, as you can see. It's fun at times, and very helpful as you will see."
"Ellie...they think...they think I kidnapped you...as I told you...what happened, are you alight?" He looked at her worriedly as if she might disappear at any moment.
"I'm OK...are you alight?" She smiled, looking up at his ginger hair.
He nodded, taking his hands from under his bed and laying them on his side.
"I was walking to potions...when it happened." Her voice got softer as if remembering a nightmare. "I was looking for you and harry to walk with. Suddenly someone came up behind me, and just hit me over the head...I don't remember much, you see I was knocked uncontious." she stopped and shivered." But when I woke up...I felt like I was empty...I was laying somewhere unfamiliar to me...although I knew I was still in the school, I was bruised and bloody...it was awful..." She stopped again, her hands trembling. "I looked down and I was laying in a puddle of it...blood...my own I could only guess...I looked about me...I was laying on some stairs, and... I don't really remember that much, but as I looked around I noticed her..." She stopped and looked at Ron with gleaming eyes.
"Her who?" Ron asked, moving his hand toward hers' for comfort.
She thought for a moment, "angel."
Her big curious eyes twinkled as she hobbled down from the bed and reached Ron. "How did you..." he stopped, looking her over head to foot.
