WHO Colin Creevey & Open•
WHERE On the Streets •
WHEN Tuesday Evening
This… was not where he was supposed to be.
“Even when you’d lost everything you thought there was to lose, somebody came along and gave you something for free.” -Jenny Valentine; Broken SoupWARNINGS None at the moment
Colin had found that when Colin pretend to know where he was going, people hardly stopped him any more. Of course, this could be because he and Dennis had been staying in a clump of woods and hadn’t found a safe place to wash up in a couple of days...
He was no stranger to walking around in circles, in part to make sure that no one was following him (you couldn’t be too careful these days) and in part because he had hoped to find a little extra money to buy some more food for him and Dennis. He’d turned a corner, and at first he hadn’t even realized that he wasn’t in the same town, because he was just enjoying the walk. But the moment he realized it, he panicked.
How had he been so careless? He didn’t know where he was, but the American accents were a dead giveaway that he wasn’t home. Had he touched a portkey? Had someone...cast something on him? What about Dennis. Dennis would be waiting for him back at the tent… and Colin had all the money and food in his backpack. He scanned the faces around him, and none of them seemed to be paying extra attention to him. Still, he stopped in an alley way to dig around for his wand and slide it into his pocket. He needed to be able to reach it if this was some sort of snatchers trap.
When the paper fell in front of them, Colin knew better than to ignore it. Maybe it was Harry! Maybe the DA had figured something out, and this was their way of getting him and Dennis to safety. There was a beat of optimism in his little heart, and his eyes scanned for any sign that his brother might be walking by before he read the letter.
There was nothing familiar about it though. An Entity sounded ominous. An apartment building? Colin adjusted his backpack and moved towards the big buildings. Maybe the Order couldn’t sign their name, but this was a safe house. Why else would there be something as strange as Ostiches guarding it? They were probably animagus. As he walked, he pulled a small thing of grapes from a side pocket, chomping on them.
Getting to the apartment complex, he sat on the steps. He tossed a few grapes over to the Ostriches, thanking them for their protection softly. He was going to wait here until Dennis showed up, and then they could go in together.
