Knockturn Alley ((Bailely))

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona passed through the Diagon Alley checkpoints. She was cursing to herself. Those stupid check points. I don't believe all this stupid crap. They don't even know why they are looking for. It doesn't matter anymore. They are going to regret this later. They have such high security here, but they haven't even given thought to any where else. The attacks would not happen here. That was obvious. Fiona's attitude to the check points was getting worse and worse. She didn't want to deal with those security guards who thought they were better than her, even after she told them her name. She would get them later. O'Reilly was not a name to be taken lightly. They would learn that sooner or later. She would help teach them. An evil smile played across her lips.

Fiona's smile faded as she remembered why she was there. She was trying to find something for someone. She needed to go to Knockturn Alley. She wasn't sure where exactly this thing was going to be, but she was willing to look. She started down the cobblestone to the alley that led away from Diagon Alley. It would be in the back corner away from the light. It seemed that the more security there was the more people stayed away from the corner, but Fiona wasn't afraid of the ministry. She was doing nothing illegal yet. If you walked into Knockturn Alley it wasn't like you were an evil dark wizard. Knockturn Alley happened to have the best alchemist in the world. He wasn't necessarily evil, he just knew his stuff and his shop was placed in Knockturn Alley.

Fiona stepped into the dark alley and smiled. She was back to a place she had always loved to go. Fiona stepped into the first store at her right. She carefully looked through the different assortments of jewels and rings. She stopped. Could that be it? That ring looked like the one he said he wanted, but it wasn't exactly the same. Fiona sighed. She didn't have the money to buy that right now. She'd come back from Gringotts later and pick it up. Fiona headed back out the door and looked down the long cobblestone walk. There weren't many people out and she could see that some of them were ministry workers in disguise, well what they thought her disguises. They were obviously ministry workers and anyone would be able to figure it out if they saw them.

Fiona rolled her eyes at them as she continued down the darkened streets. She didn't care if they saw her. She was her own person and she wasn't doing anything illegal. She looked into the potions shop and decided to step into the shop. Looking around she smiled and picked up a few items to look at. She would need to stop by here and get a few of these trinkets. Fiona stepped back outside of the shop and ran into someone else. She stepped back and looked at the person. She paused and waited to see who they were.

Bailey had wandered off from her mansion hours ago, in search of something to do. She couldnt stand being around her mother and father one more minute, and Diagon Alley would be the first place they looked for her, once they realized she was gone. They were fighting again. Or at least, her father was in one of his temper rages again. Pathetic really, how the littlest things often set him off. Did he reallly lack that much control over himself? And she couldnt take watching her mother get yelled at anymore, so she decided to take a little trip into Knockturn Alley. It was actually one of her favorite places to be other than at Hogwarts. Knockturn Alley had its reputation, just as she had hers, of being the key spot for evil witches and wizards. But truthfully, it was a very interesting place. The Dark Arts may not be legal but they were fascinating for those who really understood them. In order to fight them, you had to be flexible. They had no limits really, and that's what makes them so indestructable. Bailey decided to take a trip into the Potions shop, since that was her favorite subject, and maybe even buy herself something. She gazed up at the signs above the shops indicating what each were, and as she did bumped into someone infront of her.
"Sorry." She said plainly. She was never impolite to those who she didnt know. You couldnt get by on doing that, you never know who your dealing with. Then she realized who it was. Fiona O'Reilly, a year older than her. She was a Slytherin as well, though that was all Bailey knew about her. She nodded her head at the girl, not sure of what to expect back. She could easily blow her off, or she could just as easily say hello. Either way, Bailey didnt care. Anyone who didnt give her the respect she deserved she neither needed nor wanted to associate with.
