Chapter 6
Anneliese left the shop very puzzled. She looked around and realized that
she was all alone in Diagon Alley. She started wandering the appropriate
stores buying her school stuff, however got caught up at Quality Quidditch
supplies because Draco had gotten her thinking about Quidditch. You'd think
her life was already complicated as it was, but it gets even more
complicated when she gets close to Olivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since
382 B.C. There was a crowd around two gentlemen fighting about something
stupid. Both miscast a spell, which bounced off walls. All ran in terror.
Both of the miscast spells bounced off the wall and headed straight for
Anneliese's head. She sensed the rogue spells, before they hit she ducked
so the hit the wall and bounced back. But ducking didn't help her much.
Because she stood up too fast, so both spells hit her square in the chest,
knocking her backwards through wall after window after door and into a
brick wall. She shrieked in pain. At that moment debris from the building
crashed around her. Glass hit her face. She lapsed into shock. The only
person to hear her rushed from Flourish and Blott's to the spot. What she
saw nearly made her cry out. There were broken wood and broken windows
everywhere. She looked for the source of the destruction, then saw a pool
of blood which she followed to a certain spot where the building had
collapsed. The young woman called for help and some paramedics came and
removed the rubbish. When they stiffened slightly the girl went to see what
they had found and was horrified. She actually screamed this time, because
what she saw was the battered form of our hero Anneliese, a girl about her
age. The fighters Arthur Weasely and Lucius Malfoy ran up, disrupting the
security guards, who missed catching them. The men started kicking her and
yelled obscenities such as, "God damn you bitch! You got in the way! Now
we're both in trouble!" This went on until the girl got so mad that she
blew up at them. "Will you two jackasses stop that already? She didn't do
anything to deserve that! All she did was be in the wrong place the wrong
time. Besides if you dim-witted fools hadn't been fighting in the first
place this wouldn't have happened!" She paused to take deep breaths. All
eyes were on her. She continued, "So you can not, blame her for something
you did!" While she had been speaking the paramedics had put Anneliese on
a gurney and rolled her into the ambulance, then one of them walked over to
her and motioned for her to climb in, just in case. She noticed that
Anneliese looked rather peaceful considering the fact she was almost
killed. There was something about Anneliese's posture, face and general
appearance. She thought that under all that grime, blood and glass that
there was something pretty about that face. She also wondered what the face
looked like. She asked what she could do to help, but was told to leave
Anneliese alone. Suddenly the monitor plugged into Anneliese went haywire!
Everyone worked frantically as they arrived at the hospital. One of the
doctors working on Anneliese yelled out "We need someone wipe off the blood
from her face!" They enlisted the girl to take a soft cloth and carefully
to blot the blood off. There was something about that face. Now that she
could see it, she was enchanted. She kept the blood staunched when there
was movement from under the cloth. The doctors caught that movement. The
girl watched as Anneliese opened her eyes, eyes the color of lavender, so
deep you could drown in them. Privately the girl thought they were the most
beautiful eyes she'd ever seen. They were very beautiful, although the
pupils were slightly dilated right then. The doctor took her blood pressure
and her heart rate under control. One of them yelled, "Might wanna get her
out of here before doing anything." She was still entranced by Anneliese's
wide lavender eyes when the doctor pulled her out. When she was gone the
doctors began the process. I'll leave it at that because the process is
very gross, to me at least. So we join the other girl in the waiting room.
It was like withdrawal, not being able to look into Anneliese's fever
bright, but deep lavender eyes. The only thing she could actually hear from
the other room was shouts and a few words. It sounded something like this.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing? Get away from me!" Then one of the
doctors started sputtering. Hey what's this doing on? The people in the
waiting have been listening. What a bunch of-"*click* All the people went
back to what they were doing, grumbling the whole time.
