Finding Neverland ((Seth))

[Padme Rendel S2]

Diagon Alley was filled with all different people, their feet were hitting the cobble-stone street just as fast as Padme's heart was beating. It may have been because she was excited or maybe because she was nervous. The young girl wasn't sure what was happening to her at the moment, but it felt like a brand new experience. Her small hand slipped inside her pocket, fingering the note gently. Why couldn't Cameron do this himself? Padme swallowed hard as she turned a corner. A sign hung from the top of a bar that marked the entrance to Knockturn Alley. Few people were in here probably because of all the difficult time Dark wizards were having to get stuff without being noticed. But, Padme thought to herself, I'm not a dark wizard. I'm just on my step-dad's orders to go here. Padme closed her eyes for a bit, hoping that it was all a dream. But no, it wasn't. Padme, being the stuck up brat that she always was, opened her eyes and started acting like her usual self. Strutting around, Padme glanced keenly into a few shops, her eyes not betraying any sense of fear. Finally, the shop she had been looking for, Borgin and Borkes, came into view. She strutted inside, her eyes staring around slowly. Borgin wasn't at the desk, but what did she care?

The Hand of Glory rested near the window. It looked like an ugly scarred hand. Padme grabbed the brass handle at the bottom, not wishing to touch the hand. Bringing it up to the counter, Padme rang the bell impatiently, and soon enough Borgin came to her, his eyes staring dully at her. "Ah, little girl. You wish to buy the Hand of Glory?" Padme rolled her eyes at him and strummed her fingers againt the oak wood. Borgin seemed to notice her anxiety for he handed out his hand, waiting. Padme took out the money and put it in his hand slowly, noticing how Borgin's face turned into a gleeful expression. "Thank you, Miss." Padme nodded at him and took the Hand carefully. Exiting the shop, Padme looked around fearfully. Hopefully, no one would see her with this. As if the old lady with black teeth next to her had read her mind, the lady held out her gnarled hand and gestured at the object with a rough sneer. "Give it to me, dearie." Padme shook her head and turned to walk away, but the lady caught hold of her shirt. She grabbed the hand and took off with it, leaving Padme feeling extremely dirty and angry. How could she let this happen to her? Padme seemed to be attracting stares so she walked glumly to the nearest alley and sat down on the dirty filthy ground. Putting her head in hands, she let out a small groan. A muggle movie flashed into her mind for a moment. A one called Finding Neverland. Oh, yes, I think I found Neverland. For I am never coming here again!

Seth walked onto the cobble-stone road that led to Diagon Alley. He slumped as he walked as usual. He turned into Knockturn Alley hopefully to find someone to talk to. He saw a girl quickly rush out of here holding what seemed like a hand. Seth wondered what it was for. He gave a small smile as she passed.He also noticed that sh was in Slytherin too. Seth wondered why he hadn't seen her before like in the commen room or somthing. He turned into Knockturn Alley and loked at all the new stuff they had. He saw gizmos and gadgets. This and thats. Knobs and buttons. He saw an old lady sitting on the side of the road looking up at him almost as if to control his mind. He quickly turned away from the stare and proceded out of the Alley into Diagon. He found Honeydukes and bought some chocolate frogs. He ate while he walked. Thinking of what he should do. He sat down and took in soem sun rays. He felt th breeze in his hair. It was a very nice day he thought to himself. He then discovered that he wwas still hungrey so he bout a ice cream at sat back down.He ate it slowly as if to fully consume every drop of sweetness.He loved ice cream.

Padme stood up slowly, wiping down her cloak. Her face was contorted with hatred and she flashed it at a view passersby, all of whom avoided her. Padme was horribly angry at herself for letting some old woman take that special Hand of Glory. She was still hitting her cloak trying to break the dried mud when she looked up and saw a few people who looked extremely odd looking in her direction. Padme sent them a glare but the one she returned was nothing compared to her own. More like a leer. Padme smirked at them, trying to show them that she wasn't afraid of them. A sudden reckless notion overtook Padme. Moving forward, she rammed into one of the nearest people that was in her path. They leered some more at her but didn't make a move to stop her as she walked out of Knockturn Alley and into Diagon.

This alley was much more busy and the continuous slapping of shoes against the cobble-stones made it noisy too. Padme drew herself up to her full height (which wasn't much) and walked down the alley surreptitiously, ignoring the glances of curiosity that were being cast at her. Heading over to her favorite place, Padme found that a few people were there, including an older boy who looked about two years older. Twelve. Padme was ten and coming in very close to eleven and she couldn't wait until she went to Hogwarts. She eyed the boy carefully: Was he worth her time today? Shrugging, Padme sat down at the same table. "Hope you don't mind if I sit here, for I am not going to move at the moment. Who are you?"

A girl younger than him sat down next to him. " No i don't mind. Im Seth Johnson from Slyhterin." He could tell that she was from Slytherin too.'Who are you?' Then Seth remembered that she was the girl that ran past him with the hand thing out of Knockturn. "What was that thing you were holding?" She seemed a little flushed and angry.
