Lost (Dana, Cassie, and anyone else who wants to)

[xtina]

Elle strolled down Diagon Alley, headed toward Madame Malkin's Robe Shop where she had agreed to meet Dana and Cassie. At her time at home, she had highlighted her long, wavy, auburn hair with a strawberry blonde, which she felt complimented her natural color nicely.

Today, she was wearing a pair of denim bermuda shorts, a plain white tank top with a black shrug sweater, and her favorite pair of platform flipflops. Elle loved her tall, 5'6" frame, and her shoes added a couple inches to make her even taller. Though her wardrobe wasn't anything fancy, she had decided to wear her blue eyeliner and blue mascara, instead of the usual black.

The reason Elle wanted to meet in Madame Malkin's was because she had found a coupon in the Daily Prophet for 20% off her entire purchase on robes, and decided it would be a good time to buy them.

Diagon Alley is about as close as you can get to a muggle mall, Elle thought.

Her chain of thought was broken, however, when she noticed she gone past Madame Malkin's, and ended up in a not-so-friendly place. Although she didn't know it at that time, Elle had completely walked past Diagon Alley, and was now in Knockturn Alley.

"I've never been here before...Maybe I should ask for directions. But the people here don't look friendly. Should I just retrace my steps?" Elle said quietly to herself.

But then she looked around, and saw that she had taken a series of random turns during her daydream, and it wouldn't be possible to find her way back without directions...

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona stood inside Borgin and Burkes. It was one of her favorite Dark Art stores. There were such odd entities throughout the store that Fiona thoroughly enjoyed looking everything over. She stood looking at a case with a necklace inside. It seemed to be rather beautiful, but Fiona had no doubt that it was probably deadly too. She smiled as it as she moved toward the door.

Fiona had taken a detour into the store after she had finished her business in Knockturn Alley. She knew that things were going to be rather exciting when school started up again. There was no way that Dumbledore, the stupid muggle lover, would be able to stop the Dark Lord. And that stupid Harry Potter would be dead. Fiona laughed quietly at the thought of the two being gone forever. It would certainly make it easier for the Dark Lord to rid the world of muggles if that happened.

Fiona's smile brightened at the thoughts and she pushed opened the door. Stepping outside into the narrow alley Fiona looked around. It was mostly deserted, save for the occasional witch or wizard. More and more people had been frightened that Auror's would randomly attack them if they were caught in Knockturn Alley. Fiona scoffed at this idea. They were just cowards.

Fiona's smile turned to a sneer as she noticed a girl turn the corner. 'What is she doing here?' Fiona thought to herself as she quickly walked toward the girl. If only she was of age, then she'd hex the girl for being there. She came up behind the girl quietly. "What are you doing here mudblood?" Fiona asked harshly as she looked down at the girl. Fiona knew Elle Elwin from school and they had never gotten along. And now that Fiona was eager to follow the Dark Lord as a Death Eater she found it rather enjoyable to hate Elwin.

After rounding the corner, Elle noticed a sign to a store she'd never been to before, called Borgin and Burkes. Right when she was about to step inside and ask for directions, she heard a familiar voice, saying, "What are you doing here mudblood?" She looked around and saw Fiona, who was trying to look down at her, even though she was only an inch shorter.

Elle giggled at this sight, but quickly silenced herself and gave Fiona a sideways glance before turning her back and starting to walk off, "I don't answer to mudblood. Try again."

[Fiona O'Reilly S5]

Fiona hardly contained her anger as the girl turned her back on her. Fiona was a pureblood and she was worthy of respect especially from a filthy little mudblood. Fiona grabbed the girl's arm and spun her around. "You're kind are that way," Fiona said as she pointed toward the other way. She didn't know the girl was lost or the fact that she might be doing her a favor by pointing out the right direction for her to head it.

Fiona's eyes were blazing with fire. She was having a perfectly good day until this mudblood found her way into the only place Fiona considered safe from their dirty kind. She let go of Elwin's arm as she stared at the girl. "You'll never learn will you Elwin? You're a mudblood and you don't deserve to be taught magic. Why don't you go home to your filthy muggle parents? Get out of the purebloods rightful place," Fiona said as she watched the girl closely. She was clutching her wand in her hand as she waited for the girl's reply. She knew she wasn't allowed to do magic outside Hogwarts, but she was just about to forsake the rules. She wanted to teach this girl a lesson.

OOC: Hrm...I think we should wait a lil bit for Dana and Cassie to post, but I'll go ahead and make my post:

IC: Elle smiled, knowing that Fiona had just accidentally given her the directions out of that creepy place. But she didn't head that way just yet-- She didn't want Fiona to think she had gotten lost. Elle gave herself a reminder to go that way after wandering just a tad bit more. That is, if she could remember which way it was. Elle frowned, she was never good with directions.

Elle used her other hand to brush off the place on her arm that Fiona had grabbed, as if brushing off dirt, "If you believe that your kind are superior to us, then maybe you are the one with mud in your blood. You know very well that the wizarding world is not segregated, and I am allowed to go wherever I want."

She took her wand out as well, "The ministry will track you down if you cast magic here..."

Dana raised the hem of her long white skirt as she made a little detour around a rather…peculiar… looking fellow. Knockturn Alley most definitely wasn’t one of her favorite places. But she had to admit that the potion supplies at the Knockturn were a whole lot better than the ones in Diagon. Despite being a pureblood Dana never dared to venture here alone though. Clutching her cousins hand Dana once again promised herself never to come here alone if possible.
“Scared of an ole lil street?” came the teasing voice of Kris into Dana’s ear, earning him a sharp elbow into the ribs. Which didn’t seem to hinder him at all as he just smirked back at her and moved on.

“You know my feelings about this place so just take me to the beginning of Diagon and then you may venture around here alone,” Dana snapped back but smiled at her cousin none the less. Kris could have very easily said ‘no’ to her, when she asked her to escort her instead of going out with one of his girls again. Just a few more turns later they turned left and Dana let out a small sigh upon seeing the entrance to Diagon ahead of her.
“You’ll be safe from here,” Kris told Dana calmly as Dana released his arm. Reaching up Dana gave her cousin a quick peck on his kiss and smiled: “Thanks, bro, it was a pleasure as always.” Dana and Kris were about 6th level cousins, but for Dana Kris was a brother. Kris looked at Dana as a little sister too, even though their age difference was only 6 months to Kris’s benefit. That didn’t seem to disturb Kris at all, as he turned and disappeared into the shadowy parts of Knockturn once again.

Dana shifted her small white pearly handbag with a rather nice amount of galleons and all her potions supplies as well as other necessities on her shoulder. Considering the amount of things in it Dana was thankful of magic. Nothing but magic could make all these things fit in it and leave the bag at the size of an envelope. Then again the bag had cost 150 galleons. But in Dana’s opinion the money was well worth it.
Walking towards Diagon Dana walked up a few steps and hesitated for the briefest of seconds seeing two people there with their wands out. She wouldn’t want to walk between a duel. One more longer glance told Dana however that both girls were a year or two at least younger than her so she stepped forward only to hear the last words of one of the girls.
“Exactly, the Ministry will track magic done my minors down even at the Diagon. Considering the times they will be here quick too,” a searching glance at both girls. One of them was a Ravenclaw Dana thought. The other – well, considering the fact she seemed to be so eager to duel and near Knockturn, she might be a Slytherin.
“Really, where is the cold head of Ravencs? And the discreet of Slyths?” Dana’s eyes took both girls in calmly – they couldn’t use their wands here. Dana hadn’t expect to become a peace-bringer here right now, but it shouldn’t be too hard as she had already walked into this situation. She had enough friends among Slytherins to know how to treat a snobby little brat. Or a bit older brat. The basics how to treat others were the same.
