Chapter 5: Fates dealings
~*~*~*~*~
She looked so lost…he
thought silently to himself. Men and women rushed
around her but just sat there, hands folded on her lap, large brown eyes filled
with unshed tears as if refusing to cry.
He’d given her a long velvet lined gray robe to drape over her thin
dressing gown. She was unconscious when they found her, her long brown ringlets
had thus since dried and flowed down her back, her full peach lips pressed in a
grim line. She was a beautiful young girl. Yet it was her eyes that truly
captivated him, Ones much too old of someone so young, yet strangely too clear
not to believe.
“Here you go…” Alastor
said quietly as he handed the girl the cup of hot tea he went to get for her.
“Thank you,” she
whispered quietly.
“We just got reports
of another attack…You coming?” Gerald asked as he threw on gray cloak over his
navy blue uniform.
“No I need to finish
this…Send Potter and Black as well and Find Albus Dumbledore…Now.” Alastor said
gruffly as he looked at the young officer. The cadet nodded and walked away
quickly.
“Am I in danger?” She
asked suddenly as she looked at him.
“From the looks of it
no, But I want to be safe…Ok” Alastor said kindly as he looked at the girl. She
nodded, taking another sip of her tea, her brows furrowed as if in deep
concentration. They stayed like this for several minutes as people rushed back
and forth.
“You called…” Alphard
Black asked walking briskly into the busy room.
“Ya can you find a
spare room around here, and find Albus and Henry.” Alastor said briskly to his
partner.
“Right here, is this
the Survivor?” Henry Potter asked as he and Albus Dumbledore came from the
other side of the room.
“Ya, I got just the
spot.” Alpy said.
“Miss Sinclair if you
can just follow us…” Alastor said as he stood up and looked around. He held out
his hand in a courteous jester, that she gladly took. The quartet took off out
the double doors and walked down the hall.
The place was a
complete mess, Witches and Wizard running back and forth. The events that
happened on this cold day were not likely soon to be forgot.
At approximately
The finally came to a
stop in front of a door several floors below where they had been. They walked
into the small office and took seats.
“First Emily, if
that’s ok if I call you that, These are my associate; My partner Alphard Black,
Head of Muggle Relations Henry Potter, and Hogwarts Professor Albus Dumbledore,
Emily here was found outside the building in the park across the street, You
said in your earlier statement that you don’t remember how you got there?”
Alastor asked patiently.
“No, I don’t…I don’t
remember anything about today…” Emily said in a strained voice as the tears
that she held in place for so long fell down her pale cheeks.
