5. Shopping in Diagon Alley...?

With a switch, Hinata lands on a ground in front of a brick wall. She thanks the glorious bird and looks when it disappears. Then she starts to observers her location.

Seems like she is on the backyard of a rundown big house, with a dustbin. Hinata frowns. Why did Lady Zinnia sent her here? Is she suppose to knock on the backdoor for someone? Then she remembers the parchment she has. She folds out the paper in hope on understatement, but the text content only make her more confused. It isn't kanji. Not anything near Hinata's knowledge.

The girl looks around her once again.

"Do Lady Zinnia wants to test me?" she thinks. "Am I suppose to do something?"

After a while of thinking, she decides to active her byakugan and observe the place better. Then she discovers that something is odd with the wall. The byakugan senses a strong flow of something, but it isn't chakra. The massive unknown strings connected to a certain point. It's the brick in the wall, from the trash can, tree up and two across.

Hinata hesitates for a moment. Then she touches the brick with guard. Nothing happen. The girl wonders what the mysteries woman really want her to do. Maybe Lady Zinnia made a mistake and send her to the wrong place?

Hinata shakes her head. No, the lady doesn't look like a person that mess things up.

"Or...", sneaks a curiously thought in Hinata. She only met the woman yesterday. So far, she looks like a capable adult. But who knows? Maybe she has smilier character to Lady Fifth, who is a pretty carefree person normally. Which means just take things as they come, whiteout concern.

Hinata shrugs. Should she whizzes the pipe Lady Zinnia has given her and call for help? But Hinata really doesn't want to bother the kindhearted woman whiteout necessary. She wants to try to solve the problem with her best effort first.

With a deep breath, the girl focus her byakugan on the brick. She gather chakra on her right hand and hit the brick with a gently fist. The next thing that happen took away Hinata's breath. She has time to see when the other strings lead theirs energy to the main brick and a huge pressure collected there.

BOOM!

Hinata screams and get blow away. She accidentally drops the things in her hands.

The backdoor opens with a crack. An old, toothless, bald man with a hunchback appears. He looks frequently around. His eyes gazes on Hinata, then he looks on the wall that is full of dust, back to the sooty girl. Comes to a conclusion. Starts to look extremely furious. Yell at the afraid girl in a foreign language. He raise the stick in his right hand, swing it and the parchment and whistle on the ground fly into Hinata's knitted bag that suddenly is open.

The man grubs Hinata's hand ungently. Drag the girl through the door into a pub. There are people with pointed hat and long robs sitting everywhere. She can feel that all of them look at her with amuse. Hinata's cheek turns red in less than five second. It feels like years before they finally arrived to the front door and the old man practically kicks Hinata out from the building.

The man is still pissed off. He points and scolds at the poor girl that doesn't understand anything he said, which only make him more angry. He shouts the door to the pub with a bang.

Hinata sits at the ground alone, totally confused. She tries to collect her mind. So long she understands that she has done some terrible mistake to make the people in the building upset. And that she is in a pinch.

"This Hinata, can have anything in it. But don't forget that once you lay something in it, it's almost impossible to find it again if you don't know the trick." Lady Zinnia's remind rushes through Hinata.

Hinata opens the little knitted bag and looks inside the dark hole. The whistle that can take her back to the garden is there. She stops her hand in the bag, her eyes become large when her entirely arm dip in the bag. Terrify she lift her arm up again and sighs in relief when nothing is wrong with it.

When she gain enough courage, she lowers her hand again and try to grab on something. Even the byakugan isn't to any help, it's to many energy in there, that is impossible to set apart. After a few minute Hinata gives up. Instead she turns the bag up side down and shake it first gently, then furiously. Hinata cries in relief when she sees something fallen out. But the good mood sink soon, when it's only a flower that drop silence on the filthy ground.

Hinata hesitates. She thinks seriously of tear up the bag, but abandon the idea. Who know what's going to happen? It does not surprise her if the contents in the bag just vanish from the world if she does rip it apart. And then her chance of escape from this strange place i minimal.

People around don't seem to notice the dirty girl in front of the old building. Hinata is quite sure that she is banned from the pub.

She gulps.

"What happen now?" Hinata says with a weak voice.

Author note: I don't meant to drag out Hinata visit on Diagon Alley. But well... things just turn this way. I think the ending was good, so I decides to end the chapter here. Probably, she finally going to shopping in Diagon Alley on next chapter.
