Out on The Town
Christina Abbot had been staying with her Uncle Samuel Zashterly and her Aunt Sarah Abbot Zashterly since her mom died last year during the school year. Her Uncle had a townhouse in London as he worked for the Ministry of Magic. Today on this hot summer day in July she was out walking the streets of London enjoying the nice weather. She liked to have tea in London then later feed the pigeons. She had just finished her daily Tea and was now feeding some pigeons left over crackers.

Annalisse was not normally allowed to go wandering around London all by herself, at least not during the summer when her mother had control over what she did, but home was just so boring and the weather was just so beautiful. Being the clever little Ravenclaw that she was, she had convinced her older brother to drive her into the city in exchange for a love potion he could use on some girl that probably wouldn't even like him when she was potion-ed up. She hadn't told him that, of course, because you have to suck up a little if you're trying to get something from somebody. Anna had learned that a looooong time ago.
After confirming that he would be indeed picking her up sometime in the near future, Anna hopped out of the car and slammed the door, giving her brother a small wave before turning around and waltzing down the sidewalk. Pursing her lips, she scanned the surrounding area for something interesting. The shops were the same as always, nothing caught her eye there, however on the bench in front of one of the shops there was a huge flock of pigeons. She had been in the market for an owl so that she could keep up correspondences, but those were expensive and pigeons had been used as mail carriers for years, right?
With her decision made, she hurried over to the bench in question but halfway there realized that she had no way of catching one of the beasts. She was stuck in muggle London, where she wasn't allowed to use magic, without a net or anything else she could use in her quest. Though unlikely, maybe she could just befriend one. As she reached the best she plopped down on the bench, seeing that the reason the pigeons were gathering were because there was a girl feeding them. If she failed today, she'd have to remember that trick for next time. Catching a better glimpse of the girl, Anna realized that she looked familiar. She was pretty sure that she knew her from Hogwarts. What was her name?
Catching the girls eye, Anna gave her a small wave and a smile as she tried with all her might to remember the girls name. She remembered that she was a Hufflepuff, at least she was pretty sure, but passed that she was clueless. Hopefully the girl recognized her too, or else her wave might seem kind if weird.

Christina was feeding the pigeons her crackers when a Ravenclaw she remembered from the year before Annalisse waved to her very cheerfully. Annaliese how could she forget lol her and the other Ravenclaws tried to wreck the LBC or Light Blond Crews Hufflepuff pride Badger Cookie party in the kitchen. There was a big fight of paint and icing blue and yellow everywhere and on everyone. Annaliesse as she recalled was the one who started it all with pouring blue paint on her shouting 'Vivaaaahh Ravenclaw!
I had used a spell Luke a substitute teacher for charms class had taught me. I transformed into Abba and then handed out punishments to the Ravenclaws. There was such fun that day had by all it was a huge mess everyone got paint on them. She turned to Annalisse giving her a nice warm greeting.
"Hey I remember you , you were part of the Great Hufflepuff Vs Ravenclaw Kitchen Battle lol you got me good with blue paint! " she exclaimed in a friendly manner.

Anna smiled as the girl greeted her, thankfully informing her that she did remember her. Her smile faded a bit as she recalled why she remembered her, not so sure if that was a fond memory for the Hufflepuff. As she continued to speak it seemed that there were no hard feelings though, so Anna allowed herself another smile and a nod of her head. "Haha yeah, that was me. You looked pretty good in the blue, if I do say so myself," she said with a wink, always trying to convert those Hufflepuffs. The poor dears stuck with their awful yellow house color...she remembered the Hufflepuff retaliation during the kitchen war and shuddered as she recalled being covered in yellow sprinkles, icing, and who knows what else. Nope, blue was way more her color. "You guys got us pretty good too, I have to say it was one of the most fun things I did last year." She giggled with a nod of her head.
"So what brings you to London?" she asked, glancing down at the pigeons pecking at the crackers on the ground and deciding that she would try to catch one another day. It'd been forever since she'd seen anyone from Hogwarts and she didn't want to scare her away by acting like a crazy pigeon lady.

Christina had no hard feelings she loved all her fellow students at Hogwarts. She seemed to remember the Ravenclaw's name as Annalisse and being her favorite one of all the Ravanclaws. Annalisse always had awesome pride for her house colors just like she did. Annalisse and her were both great cheerleaders of our houses and that was such fun. As she listened to Annalisse's reply she seemed to have good memories and bare no ill will towards her. Yes she gathered from Annalisse the getting was got by them too and that she had fun as well.
"It was a grand fun time in the kitchens that day for both are house!" i said with a big smile to Annalisse.
She wanted to know what brought me to London. I turned to her in a friendly manner and told her all about it.
"Well since my mom died my first year at Hogwarts and my dad was already dead my Uncle Samuel and Aunt Sarah Abbot Zashterly have been taking care of me. They have a town house here just up the street so I'm allowed a little freedom to go out on my own as long as I don't go to far." I explained smiling "I like to get tea everyday and then feed the pigeons as you can see." I continued explaing. "What brings you to London? It is a very nice day out ! " I ask her

"Why hello there sexy" Abba Jr. said to both girls as he just happened to be strolling by. Oh he was really laying on the charm until, BAM, he walked head on into a street lamp.

Anna grinned and nodded in agreement, glad that there was at least one Hufflepuff with a good sense of humor. Some people just got so defensive whenever she tried to throw some Ravenclaw fun into the boring lives of students in every other house. Honestly, she was doing them a favor.
Christina's response to her question made her frown slightly, for she hadn't meant to bring up any bad memories or anything. The girl was still smiling though, so it seemed that all was still well. They were a resilient group, those Huffies. "I'm sorry to hear about your parents, but it's nice that you're allowed a little bit of freedom," she replied with a kind smile, though a moment later it turned into a triumphant grin. "Christina!" she squeaked, finally having remembered her name. "Er, sorry. Your name had slipped my mind, but I remembered it!" Giggling lightly, she then got back on track with the conversation they'd been having. "It is a nice day! I just needed to get out of the house, I've missed the city since I've been home," she said with a nod. "I kind of had to sneak out though. My mum doesn't like me wandering around on my own."
Hearing another voice that seemed to be directed at them, Anna turned to see a boy that also looked familiar. He, however, was not a student she ever remembered talking to. After realizing what he had said she giggled a little and rolled her eyes, watching him out of the corner of her eye as he walked by....and into a lamp post! "Oh dear, are you okay?" she called, jumping up off of the bench and hurrying over to him. "Please don't have a concussion, I don't know how to get into St. Mungos."

Christina got the sense that her bringing up her parents death had sadenned Annallisse and felt bad for doing so.
"Well don't be i'm going to find out what happened to them one day I swore to it." I declared. "Did I tell you Annalisse thats your name right as far as I remember?" I asked. "Well when my mom died I had a vision of her death and I felt her terror and I know that it involves Death Eaters and I dont' care what anyone says one day I will find out who was behind their deaths exactly. I know they are all tied together even though the Ministry of Magic won't commit to telling me anything about it." she was saying in a raised voice and almost sound of franticness behind it ... "In FACT I WILL INDEED ..........then there was a big bang as a boy smacked right into a lamp post..... I stopped my diatribe instantly my left hand to my lips "Oh my is he hurt ?" I asked noticing that Annalisse was already rushing to his aid.

"You're right, I'm Annalisse," she replied with a nod of her head. "It's a bit of a mouthful though, so most people call me Anna." She shrugged her shoulders and listened as Christina finished what she was saying. It wasn't a happy story by any means, and it was certainly a lot for a girl of her age to have dealt with. Anna felt very sorry for the girl but also rather impressed with how well she was handling it. She was a right out mess when her father passed away years ago, and the thought of losing her mother too...oh, it was too awful. "Well um, if you ever need any help with that...I'm not sure what exactly I could do but I'd be willing to try." She gave her a smile and then looked down at Abba, who was hopefully still alive. "Helloooo? Are you ok?" she cooed, poking him lightly to see if he'd respond.

Christina was glad when she found out she had remembered her name correctly she always tried to do her best to remember peoples names. She seemed to be very thoughtful when I had babbled on and on about my parents and just kept listening. Anna as she said she is called for short offered to help her with figuring out the cause for her parents death if she ever wished for the help and that made Christina happy and she had said thanks smiling to Anna. She heard heard Anna ask the boy if he was ok while poking him.
I walked over to where Anna and the boy was and looked down in concern and wonder if the boy would be alright. "Maybe we should check his pulse." I offered in a concerned voice.

Anna took Christina's suggestion and crouched down, sticking two fingers on the boys neck to feel for a pulse. "It's there," she said, standing up and shrugging her shoulders. She wasn't sure what else they could do for him, she wasn't a doctor or anything. It'd be nice if he'd respond to something. "Any more ideas?" she asked, turning to Christina with a slightly lost look in her eyes. Heck, maybe he was faking it for attention. But she didn't want to be the one that ignored the kid laying on that ground that later turned out to be fatally injured.

Christina watched as her friend Anna checked the boys pulse saying it was there then asking if she had anymore idea. She had no idea what to do either maybe they should find a way to get some help.
"I really have no idea either he isn't bleeding or nothing so it's not serious." she replied. "I'm sure he will wake up I mean I hope he will." she said intently. "Maybe we should find someone to help so we can get him to the hospital?" she kind of said in a questioning manner.
