Chapter Two
Quirrel led Hinata to one of the bar stools and told her to sit down. She did so and the bartender behind the counter smiled at them with the remaining teeth he still had. At first she thought he was creepy, but he gave off a friendly aura. She smiles back at him gently as she rubs her arms to keep them warm. It was chilly in the small bar. Quirrel looks at her and looks at the bartender.
"Sh-She'll ha-have a but-butterbeer." The bartender nods and he turns to Hinata, "I'll be right back. There's something I need to do in Diagon Alley."
Hinata nods and he rushes to where the trashcans were. Her eyes averted to the bartender as he gave her a mug filled to the brim with a hot liquid. He looks at her with a friendly smile and pushes the drink closer to her and she wraps her thin, pale fingers around it. The heat ran up her fingers and down her arms. She brought it up to her lips and took a couple sips. It scalded her tongue slightly as the hot liquid slipped down her throat. But it felt so good in the long run. A shiver runs down her spine as she sipped at it more.
A commotion started when a giant man and a young boy around her own age entered the dingy little bar. The entire place hushed, then a scraping of chairs was heard and a giant bustling was heard. Many people shoved past her, making the chair tumble to the ground with her. The hot drink spilled all over herself and she screamed from the liquid scalding her neck and chest. She bit her lip to hold back the tears rimming up at the corners of her eyes.
"Are you ok?" a boyish voice asked her. She tilts her head up to for her lavender tinted eyes to meet emerald green eyes. They stared at each other for a moment. He was completely hypnotized by her lavender tinted eyes and she was staring at him because she had never seen such an………. Odd looking face. He offers a hand to help her up. She lifts her own hand to take his. Once their hands touch, a jolt of electricity runs through their finger tips.
"Ah!" They said at the same time and he released her hand. She ended up falling, but catching herself with her other hand. She ends up jumping up and wincing at the scalding liquid dripping down her shirt.
"I-I'm sorry. My name is Hinata Hyuuga. You?" She asks him holding out her hand to him for him to shake. Some of the people in there stared at her with incredulous looks in their eyes.
"You don't know who this boy is?!" A high pitched, female voice calls out. A rumble of insults directed at Hinata followed. She bites her lip and looks at the ground, tears budding up at the edges of her eyes again.
"I-I'm sorry." She murmurs softly wringing her hands trying to figure out what was going on.
"Hinata, My name is Harry Potter." The emerald eyed boy said to her in a friendly tone. She wipes the tears away from her eyes as he shook her hand. Another jolt of electricity ran from their fingers into each other, but they didn't yank away this time.
"Nice to meet you, Harry Potter." She said trying to cover her chest the best she could. It was a white, sleeveless, turtleneck now stained with the yellow, scalding drink. Stained bandages wrapped up and down her arms that met her elbows. A worried look crosses Harry's face.
"Are you ok?" He asks again. She looks at him and lets a gentle smile come to her face. A light blush dusted his cheeks.
"I'm fine." But what she said was an oxymoron to what she actually felt. Then her eyes wander to her hand and a light blush dusted her own cheeks. He looks down at their hands and pulled his away automatically. She let her arm fall to the side as averted her eyes from his. Her eyes flickered slightly and she turned her head.
"Professor Quirrel, you're back?" She asks softly. Quirrel pushes through a bustling crowd to see Hinata and Harry standing there. The giant man walked up behind Harry and pats his shoulder. Quirrel greets both of them, stuttering. Harry's eyes kept glancing at Hinata. She caught a couple words including 'Hogwarts' and 'Dumbledore'. She looks at Harry with a slightly excited look.
"Your going to Hogwarts too, Harry?" She asks trying to cover her excitement. He nods with a smile. Before Hinata could say any more, the crowd bustled back not letting them take any more of Harry's time. Quirrel and Hinata began to try and get the farthest away they could. She waves her pale hand over the crowd.
"See you at Hogwarts, Harry!" She said loudly enough for him to hear before Quirrel dragged back towards the bartender. He had the key to her room. The bartender nods and gives him the key. He thrusts it into her hands.
"Go to room 12. That is your room, right up the stairs." Quirrel says to her in a hushed voice. Hinata nods and rushes up the stairs, not knowing that a pair of emerald green eyes was following her. Once she reached her room, the put the keys in the lock and the door automatically opened. Once she got inside she set her suitcase down on the bed and put on a new shirt. It was dark purple and the sleeves were slightly torn. Then she rushed back downstairs to Quirrel, her arms swinging by her sides. She looked absolutely adorable.
He grabs her arm and begins to pull her towards the trashcans. Hinata turns her head slightly to meet emerald eyes. She gave a small smile and wave before getting completely out of sight. Quirrel pulls out his wand and taps three bricks across and two down. The bricks began to melt away into a doorway. Her eyes widened in amazement as she stared at the doorway.
"Welcome to Diagon Alley." Quirrel says proudly. Hinata looks completely awed as she walked out of the doorway to look around. It was just so amazing, so different. They began to walk down the road. As she looked around, many people sent her odd looks and double takes because of her short, midnight blue
hair and her puppiless, lavender eyes. Not that she cared at all at the moment. She over heard a young woman criticizing the prices at a store.
"Ten sickles for a quil?! They're mad!" Her shrill voice exclaimed. That reminded Hinata of something. She looks up at Quirrel.
"Professor Quirrel, I don't have any………… wizarding money." Hinata says softly. Some of the people stopped around them when they heard her voice. It was so soft and gentle, that any one would melt at it. Quirrel lets out a light chuckle.
"Don't worry, Hinata, You have some….. just not with you. In Gringots." Quirrel says with out one stutter. Some of the people around them even fell down from hearing him not stutter anymore. They could tell it was just around Hinata, but they were still amazed. The walked down the path in between the stores as Hinata looked around, whipping her head around at every turn and step. Luckily she didn't have long hair, or she would be slapping Quirrel every time she turned her head. Both stopped in front of a large building. She stared at it with her mouth formed into an 'o'.
"This is Gringots." He said as he pulled her inside. Her feet stumbled slightly underneath her as she walked inside. It was beautiful. There was a threatening poem on the next set of doors in front of them and a-
"That's a goblin." Quirrel whispers to Hinata and she nods, "Clever guys they are."
The goblin nods at them and they walk inside. Her eyes widened as she looked around even more. There were a few witches and wizards coming out of the entrances from the other side of the hall, a couple of them looking dizzy. There was a long, tall, table that many goblins that lined them. Some weighing gems and others helping witches and wizards. Quirrel motions for Hinata to follow him towards one of the goblins at the counter. The goblin looks at Quirrel with it's inquisitive look.
"We are here to go to Ms. Hyuuga's account." He says and the goblin gives him the same look.
"Do you have Ms. Hyuuga's key?" The goblin asks looking at Hinata as he did. She averted her lavender tinted eyes from his as she did so. Quirrel digs one hand into his pocket and pulls out a small, silver key. He drops it in front of the goblin. The goblin inspects the key for a moment with its intelligent eyes.
"HangWedge!" He called out and a goblin came rushing up to him. He looks at him.
"Take these two to Ms. Hyuuga's vault." The goblin nods and gestures for the both of them to follow him into one of the entrances. She had gotten a couple double takes and stares again because of her unusual eyes and hair. The heat rushed to her face as they walked into the doorway. Once they did, a look of surprise took her face. She expected something a little more……. Elegant. It looked like a coal mine cart in a brick tunnel. The goblin gestures for them to get in and they do. As soon as the goblin got into the cart, the cart gave a jolt and jetted off. Hinata held on to the cart, trying to keep her food down. After a little bit, it jolted to a stop. Hinata was flung forwards in the cart, very winded. The goblin and Quirrel had already gotten out. She stumbled out of the cart as the goblin opened the vault with the
small silver key. The vault opened and smoke billowed out. Hinata coughs a couple times as she looked into the vault. Mounds of gold, silver and bronze coins were sitting there.
