The two boys dashed up a deserted street in London, their breaths coming in short, jagged gasps. Aberforth was half dragging his brother up the street, his hair flying out behind him. Why, oh why was it that every time he turned and looked at a shadow that he saw it as Griendelwald? Why wouldn't his brother cry, instead of just sniffle as he dragged him along?

The darkness of the streets as the mist and fog moved in was foreboding to young Albus; it sent chills up and down his spine, made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end. Yet even in the darkness, he refused to cry out. He knew, somehow he knew, that this was far from over and the imp in the back of his mind kept telling him to remain quiet until they arrived at a safer location than the dark ally way his older brother had just dragged him into.

The fog had covered the street and gave off a most chilling feeling to the two in the ally as they huddled together, the older of the two looking for something. Aberforth knew that what he was looking for was here, it was close, but he just couldn't remember where it was exactly.

Albus tugged on his brother's shirt sleeve and, when he turned to look at him, pointed up at a metal sign in the shape of a witch on a broom. Aberforth smiled at his little brother, Albus come through for him and pointed out what he, Aberforth, had been looking for: The Leaky Cauldron.

They stepped threw the door, just as the barman was finishing the evening cleaning. He turned at looked at them. His blonde hair fell over one of his green eyes, which held a look of curiosity. His eyes traveled over their sad faces and then moved down to their rumpled cloths.
"Is there something I can do for you, young sirs?" he asked gently. Aberforth stepped forward and cleared his throat.

"Yes sir, do you by any chance have a free room and an owl we can barrow?" he asked, kindly, still holding Albus's hand.

"Whatever for? Shouldn't you two be with your parents? It is quite late, midnight to be exact." he responded, while raising an eyebrow. This time it was Albus, who spoke, in his young, small, timid voice.

"I only wish we could be with them, sir…" he trailed off, his eyes shone with unshed tears. Finally the man caught on and nodded.

"I see," he said, "Of course I have a room for you, anyone who's been hurt by that vial creature is welcome here."

"Thank you sir and we will not be a burden for long, just the night. I promise that my brother and I will be off your back come morning." Aberforth said, gratefully and with a small bow.

"Take your time boy, just take your time." the barman said kindly and whistled for his owl.

Within minuets, Aberforth had written to his uncle, praying that the owl would reach him soon, and carried his brother up into one of the spare rooms. Here he lay Albus on the only bed and pulled the blanket up over him. He ran a hand through his brother's blood red hair and sighed and he lay next to him.

"Don't worry Alby." he whispered to him as Albus whimpered in his sleep, "I'm still here for you buddy." shortly after, he too was asleep.
