It was just around closing time in the Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes when the initial sounds of disaster came from a few doors down in the Alley. Verity was in the front of the shop by the windows, stocking, shelving and facing some products when she heard the crash and screams. It caught her attention, and she lifted her head to look out into the Alley, seeing dozens of people running in terror along the lane.
"M-Mister Weasley?!" She called out without turning to take her eyes of of the panicked people out the front window. "Mister Weasley!" She cried out as the giant Quintaped came into view.
