Remember Cappucinobeat's RPG thingy? And Tamora's? Well this is kinda like that...
***Meg ran, her feet pounding against the concrete footpath. Why was she running? She did not know. All she knew was that if she stopped, even for a second just to regain her breath, all would be lost. There was a sound of footsteps behind her - was someone following her... or was she simply hearing the echo of her own steps? She turned her concentration back to running... one foot after the next, as she tried to resist the temptation to turn around and see who was chasing her, if anybody was at all.
Meg?
She almost stopped for a second... I know that voice. She shook her head and ran on, faster than before - because she knew her follower was gaining on her. The footsteps no longer matched her own, but were much quicker and the sound of someone breathing was now audible.
Meg, it's you! Wake up!
Wake up? Meg stopped, and a hand clapped over her mouth. Someone had caught her. She turned to face him... or her... and let out a silent scream. She knew the face like the back of her hand... like the hand that was now covering her mouth. It was herself...***
"Meg!" Meg sits up, dazedly. I must have fallen asleep on the bus, she thinks, cursing quietly in the Elven toungue. "Huh?" It is the same voice that cut through in her dream. Of course, she recognises the voice now, one of the students from school...
I have a sort of idea about the dream... I know this isn't as good as the others, if you're wondering why Meg's on a bus anyway, she's going to stay with Sirius, her uncle - I'm assuming that his name's been cleared.
*
hilohello
Hilo looks down at Meg, worried. "Sheesh, what's wrong? What'd you dream?"
*
seekergurl
"N-never mind." She says shakily. "Do I know you?"
*
hilohello
"Don' think so. Just a worried onlooker." She winks, then looks worried. "You were thrashing around a lot."
*
tamora
Tamora comes by Meg in the aisle of the bus. "Hi, Meg..you look like you saw a ghost, everything alright?"
*
celaeno
Yeah, you don't look so good...Here have a Hersey bar!
*
winky77
Colleen walks in. "I heard some noise, what happened? Meg, are you alright??"
*
eek7
"Big crowd here... I would ask if you were ok, but it seems like a lot of people already have... So, are you... well?" Emily asks
*
hilohello
"Oh, no. She ain't all right. She's gone and fainted."
*
winky77
"Oh no! Quick someone, go get someone!"
*
hilohello
"Alright." She jumps out of her seat and runs up to the busdriver, yelling "Stop! Stop! Emergency!" This doesn't help, it just causes the driver to go aut of control and the bus to go skidding off the road into a ditch.
*
tamora
Tamora shakes her head in disgust. "We should really get better drivers these days...hey, everyone alright?"
She finds the bus on its left side, with everyone scrunched together on the floor. Tamora, and a few others capible, unlatches the emergency exit on the top of the bus and helps everyone out.
*
hilohello
Being one of the less capable ones, because she was running around, she allows herself to be pulled out. "Now what? We're stuck in the middle of nowhere and I doubt the driver can drive." She motions at the driver, who's head went through the window.
*
eek7
"Well - I know we're not supposed to... but... Well we could use some magic, we'd probably get in big trouble, but I'm hungry, and I have a detention tonight that I 'have' to be at."
*
tamora
Tamora scans the area to see where they were. A vast countryside. "We're stranded. I don't think any muggles will come by here, but let's be careful just in case.
*
winky77
Everyone climbs out of the bus. Colleen asks "What do we do now? Anyone have any ideas??"
*
hilohello
"Well, they say we should use magic." She attepts to stand up, but falls back down with a "Yowch!"
*
eek7
"Oh - if we're lucky, that bus will come... The one that gets lost witches and wizards who are lost during the night? I forgot what it was called - I only heard about it..." Emily voice trailed off. "Let's see, how do we get it again? Raise our wand arm?"
*
hilohello
"Our? It hurts to move."
*
cleverwitch7
Clev, who had just gotten out of the now burning bus, was worried. "I don't have my wand," she said. "And anyway, how will we get out of this ditch using magic without muggles seeing us? There must be a farm around here, and someone is bound to notice a group of people suddenly appearing near their farm with wands in their hands."
*
hilohello
"Yeah, well don't ask me to do anything. I can't." She blinks and looks at the bus. "Say, did anyone get that fainting girl?"
*
tamora
"Uh...um, I lost track of everyone when the bus turned over. Where'd Meg go?"
*
cleverwitch7
"I haven't seen her, but she isn't inside the bus. I was the last to get out, and there was nobody left inside the bus except for the driver and-" Clev realized what she was saying. Meg was on the bus! She had fainted and didn't know that the bus had turned over. "Someone get her! Quick! Before the whole bus gets burned down!"
*
hilohello
"I'll get her..." She stands up, wincing,sways a bit and takes a couple of uneasy steps towards the bus before collapsing again.
*
seekergurl
I fainted?!?!
***The hand gripping Meg seems to tighten, the long fingers seem to lengthen, the fingernails grow into sharp claws... She tries to scream, but the inhuman hand is suffocating her...***
A bump wakes Meg once more, and she finds herself lying on top of a pile of luggage that seems to have fallen.
She puts a hand on the floor to steady herself, and touches broken glass. Slowly, everything comes into focus, the bus must have crashed. Meg stands up, and climbs out a broken window...
*
hilohello
She barely lifts her head up from the strange positiong she's in, spots Meg and weakly calls out "She's alright."
*
seekergurl
Meg helps Hilo up. "What happened? Did the bus crash? Wait..." An owl that had been fluttering around lands on her shoulder. Meg finds her trunk among the rubble, and pulls out a quill and some parchment. "I'll write to Sirius, he'll know what to do..."
*
hilohello
"Oh, I"m sure that'll get us immediate help..." She collapses again.
*
seekergurl
Meg signs the quick note with a flourish and gives it to Henna, then runs over to Hilo.
*
hilohello
She lies face down on the ground, muttering "It won't help, stupid...It won't help..."
*
seekergurl
"Look," Meg says, helping Hilo to a sitting position. "It's all we can do for the moment. Some of us are injured and we're not allowed to do magic, in other words we're helpless. Sirius will get the letter, and, knowing him, he'll do something."
*
hilohello
Winces as she is pulled into the sitting position. "In what, three days? Four? Two at the least. And what'll we do until then?"
*
eek7
"Well, I'm not injured, is there anyone else that isn't? Maybe a couple of us could go to that farm over there and ask for bandages for your wounds, and maybe we should send Prof. Dumbledore an owl? Or... Wait let me try something." Emily quickly tore a piece of paper and wrote what looked like a lot of scribbles with a signature. She asked if she could use an owl, someone gave it to her, and sent it off to someone. "If he doesn't come to save us quickly no one will."
*
hilohello
"Now the farm idea was good, but mailing... Nuh-uh." She blinks. "Sheesh, I'm tired..."
*
eek7
"You don't even know who I'm mailing." Emily said.
*
hilohello
"Yeah, but it won't get there in time... Is it me or is everything kinda foggy?"
*
eek7
"In time for what, though?" Emily asked
"and no, it's not foggy... You better lie down. You know what I'm gonna go to that farm and at least ask for some tylenol..." and Emily walked away.
*
winky77
"I'll go with you Emily, I'm not hurt, at least not badly. Hilo, just lie down and be quiet untill we get back. OK, Emily, lets go." says Colleen
*
eek7
"Ok, we'll see you guys later..." and Emily and Colleen started walking.
"It's starting to get dark - and cold. We better hurry and hope someone's home in that farm..." Emily said, when they were a little ways away. "I don't want to worry the rest of them, but..."
*
tamora
Tamora, wincing, forced herself to sit down under a tree, holding her bloody hand.
"I guess I won't be in Marseille for any time soon..." She muttered, quite annoyed.
She was watching everyone, scattered around the area, when Tamora thought she saw something move in the trees near her.
"I must've hit my head somehow as well."
*
cleverwitch7
Clev, who wasn't injured, had gone with Colleen and Emily to get help. Maybe they have some Nyquil, she thought. Then she listened to what Emily was saying. "But... what?"
*
hilohello
A pair of antlers pop out of the bush, followed by a rabbits head. A jackalope. It peers about.
*
eek7
"Well, we are in muggles land... Anything that we do could be seen. I was a muggle for 14 years of my life before finding out I was a witch, and believe me, they are curious." Emily suddenly started coughing, and noticed Clev and colleen were coughing too. Something had hit her on the back. Jumping around, she saw no one.
"This is weird..."
*
winky77
"What was that? did someone just hit you, Emily?" Colleen looks around and sees nothing. "Who's out there? Show yourself!"
Colleen was beggining to get scared but she tried to hide it.
*
hilohello
A bush rustles and a couple of it's branches move.
*
eek7
"Who's out there?" Emily asked, and put her hand on her wand, which was in her pocket.
*
winky77
Colleen pulls out her wand. "I'm going to look. You guys wait here."
*
hilohello
Slowly, out crawls a (large) submissive...jackalope.
*
cleverwitch7
Clev and Emily stayed still, listening. They couldn't hear anything, except for a few squirrels darting around the trees. Suddenly they heard a yelp, and recognized Colleen's voice. "Should we go look for her? She might be in trouble," Clev asked.
*
harrypotter
Lux(sort for Lucky) pops up :can I help ;) :
*
winky77
While the other are back on the road, Colleen is walking in the bushes. Suddenly she sees a flash of green light and is blinded. She screams, and everything goes black.
*
marci
Marci stood out in her yard looking for the source of the crash and scream, seeing a group of people at the edge of the fence marci begins to run toward them. Getting closer she begins to regonize some of them. "Meg!! Is that you? What happened? Is everyone alright?I was here visiting my cousins when I heard a crash and then a few minutes later a scream. My cousins are muggles and are getting worried, does anyone want to come back to the house and we can call for help there?"
*
miranda12
"Oh my gosh! What happened! Whos hurt?! Can I help??" Said a girl that just like poped out of no where. "well can I?"
*
eek7
Emily looked at them and just nodded, her face pale. She walked in after Colleen, and took out her wand. For a split second, she saw Colleen and something giant lurching over her, and then she too saw the flash of green and then all black.
*
harrypotter
RUNNNNNNNN!
*
tamora
Tamora gets away from the tree, hearing Colleen scream. She hastily stood by Mira.
"Hi," she breathed. "Were you hurt when we crashed?"
*
miranda12
"Me? No I wasn't in the crash. I am staying a little bit up the road when I heard the crash" Mira said.
*
winky77
Colleen awoke with a jolt. She saw Emily laying a few feet away. What ever had made the green light was gone now. She looked around, but she didn't see anyone. "Guys?? Where are you? I think Emily is hurt!"
*
tamora
Tamo followed clev's voice, with Miranda coming with her, to find Emily unconscious.
"What can we do?"
*
cleverwitch7
"We need to get some help. I'll go to the closest farm and ask them to help us," said Clev. "This is an emeergency.'
*
marci
"clev come with me, my cousins house is just up the road." Marci and clev begin to walk through the feild...
*
seekergurl13
Meg gets up, painfully and follows. "Must have sprained my ankle..." She mutters. "Wait up, guys!" Meg follows after Marci and Clev.
*
miranda12
"So now what Are we going to do, Tamo?" Miranda said to Tamora.
*
wolfperson1
A wild looking wolf runs up to the group. It turns into Wolf. Wolf looks weary and tired.
"What happened?" She asks.
*
tamora
"Nothing good. Can you helps us look for any other hurt people?"
"What about you hand."
Tamora looked down at her gorey right hand. "It stop bleeding, but I need to wrapped it with something; it stings like crazy."
*
wolfperson1
"Take this." Wolf hands Tamora a bandana."I will turn back into a wolf and see if I can smell them."
*
tamora
"Oh, thank you very much. Is there a river I can wash my hand in?" Tamora asked, gratefully taking the bandana.
*
miranda12
"I saw one up that way" Mira pionted the north "So are you Coming??" She started walking to the north to where river was.
*
hilohello
Hey!
Hilo moaned and roaled onto her side. It was getting so foggy it was hard to see, know. And that giant, bright-blue elephant-bird was getting very annoying.
*
winky77
"Wait for me, guys" Colleen stumbled when she tried to get up. "Oh, I feel really dizzy!"
*
wolfperson1
"Let's go to where Marci's cousin's house. Tamora can wash her hand, and maybe we can get some food. I haven't eaten for a few days. Something has been following me." Wolf looks over her shoulder.
*
marci
"Lets hurry, I have really bad feling right now"
*
cleverwitch7
The group had almost reached the farmhouse when they heard a painful yelp. It was too far away to go back and check on Hilo.
The group reached the farmhouse, and Marci knocked on the door. A nice-looking woman opened the door. "Marci! It's wonderful to see you again! Come in!"
*
winky77
Hi, My name is Colleen, I'm Marci's friend. Do you think I could..." Before Colleen can finish, she passes out again.
*
cleverwitch7
The group carried Colleen into the house and tried to make her wake up. When she finally did wake up, she sat straight up and said, "It's Hilo! She's in terrible trouble!"
*
marci
"Hilo? She was on the bus too? I didn't know that. We should go back."
*
winky77
"Yes, Hilo is in trouble. Go back and get her. I'll come too.." Colleen tried to stand but her knees gave way. "I guess not."
*
seekergurl13
Meg hobbles up the road and collapses halfway up Marci's cousin's doorstep.
*
winky77
"Meg, are you ok?" Colleen calls. "Someone has to go back for Hilo."
*
tamora
"My, we are such a wreck this evening. People passing out, dizziness, headaches, and blood everywhere. What a crew. Ma'am, I need to wash my nasty hand..."
Marci's cousin leads her to the bathroom and Tamora was careful not get her blood on anything as she scrubbed quickly. As she hurried back downstairs, wrapping the bandana around her hand, she found herself alone in the house.
"Hello? Where'd everyone go?"
*
marci
"yes well, anyway these are some of my frineds from school we won't be very long." tamora heard marci say from the next room. Leaving the room marci says "Tamora, hows your hand? Colleen is passed out again so we put her on the couch, my cousins in there now, I was just about to go search for hilo, are you coming?"
*
seekergurl
*still lying on the doorstep*
*
marci
walking out the door marci realizes that Meg is there. "Tamora, help me bring her inside!" Carrying meg into the house marci goes to get her cousin and asks her to keep a watch on the two. "When Meg wakes up tell her were out looking for hilo."
*
cleverwitch7
Clev looks at Colleen and Meg. "Now what? We can't stay here forever... Does anyone here know how to drive?"
*
miranda12
"Wait up I'll come to!" Miranda said getting up "I'm not hurt"
*
winky77
Colleen mumbles as she lies on the couch, "Hurry, get Hilo, quick, quick!! Oh no! Hurry, hurry!"
*
marci
"Colleen, we're going now, do you know where she's at? Meg do you want to come with us?"
*
winky77
"She's back at the bus!! Hurry!" Colleen cries.
*
tamora
"I'm functional now, at least. Tell me what to do...maybe Miranda and I could search in on foot for anybody. I wish we could stay to help Meg and Colleen..."
*
marci
yes, but we have to be careful, my cousins our muggles and they well, don't really know about "us" I hope hilo is okay, lets get going.
*
seekergurl
Meg rolls over in bed, twitching. She can feel the dream coming on again, but she can give way to it. Meg can almost feel the hands gripping her throat, when she sits up with a jolt. "Hilo!"
*
wolfperson1
Wolf yells to the others, "I've got Hilo. She was attacked. She is in bad shape. Help me bring her bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" They run faster when they here Wolf scream. It is a low pitch, but it still carries pure terror. They run up to the bus, but when they get there only Hilo is there.
*
marci
wolf? are you here?
*
miranda12
"oh my gosh! where is wolf!' miranda said as she looked up and down the bus
*
seekergurl
The others run to see Meg emerging from the bus, grinning in a way totally unlike her. It was a cruel, smug smile that didn't seem to fit her face. They were so shocked to see her pointing her wand at Wolf that they didn't hear a scream from behind as the real Meg tripped, clutching her injured ankle. They were too far away to see that the wand she was holding was not ebony like Meg's, but willow.
*
tamora
Tamora frowned "Well, that's not right. What's going on?" She asked, gripping her wand.
*
miranda12
"that can't be meg it just can't be" Mirand gripped her wand tighter.
*
cleverwitch7
"That's not Meg. Meg can't even walk! Unus Vellius!" Suddenly the other 'Meg' turned into someone else. "You look familiar..."
*
sarahermione
if that's not meg where is she oh sory for buting in *i say shyly* um uh can i help?
*
miranda12
"come to think of it you do look like someone I've seen before" Miranda said as she pondered as to who it could be.
(oh and i changed my outfit)
*
marci
I agree, who IS that?
*
tamora
Tamora was going to say the same, but then as she studied the person, she went wide-eyed and started to backup.
She snapped out of it, and raised her wand toward the west. "Magnius Firebolt!" She yelled.
To everyone's surprise, Tamora's broom came whizzing into the area. It went up to her, and she hopped on it.
"Tamora, the muggles! Be careful!"
"We have a more important thing to think about you guys!" She ascended higher and pointed her wand at the mysterious person who pretended to be Meg. "Get away, that's a Death Eater!"
*
marci
Marci looks at the Meg imposter, "Your the person thats been sulking around the grounds at night, I've seen you, I know I have..."
*
seekergurl
Meg drags herself along the path, rubbing her sore foot. Suddenly, something swoops over her. Her owl is back with a reply from Sirius.
Meg,
Look out. You're in dangerous country. Stay in the bus.I'll come as soon as possible.
Sirius
"Expelliarmus!" Meg turns from the letter to see her uncle catching something, and a woman lunging at him.
*
wolfperson1
Meanwhile
Wolf is in a cold place. Her entire body throbs with excruciating(sp?) pain.The room is small and red. 'This looks like the inside of a gem,'Wolf thinks. She is closer to the truth than she thinks. Wolf is inside a small ruby that is fitted on a golden ring. She looks through the edges and relizes where she is. Outside of the ruby, she sees a willow wand that is pointed towards her friends. 'I wish there was something that I could do. They will end up here too'
*
seekergurl
"Stupefy!" Sirius yells, and the woman falls to the ground, the ring rolling off her finger. He sees Meg struggling to stand and quickly uses a healing spell on her. (the rest of you are OK, right?) Meg stands up, and walks down the path, when the ring catches the light. There is a dark red stone set in it, almost black... Almost black? Meg looks at the ruby in her necklace and sees that it is also nearly black. Of course this wasn't at all surprising, rubies did darken when evil was near and this woman was definately evil. She picks up the ring, and stares into the stone, then almost drops it in surprise as two eyes stare back...
*
eek7
Emily finally woke up.
She looked around, and found herself in a strange room.
"Hello? Where am I?" she asked.
"Your friends brought you here. You were pretty badly hurt in a bus crash." a motherly looking lady said gently.
"What?? Where are they?"
"They left. They left you behind!" a little boy said.
"Where did they go?"
"I'm sure they'll be back, dear. Just rest."
"I can't! I.. I.. I have to go!" Emily shouted, and holding her head for a second, she ran out the door into the empty road.
"HELLO?" she shouted. "WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?"
She sighed, and started walking.
*
tamora
Tamora, now lowering to the ground, saw Emily strodding along the dirt road by the house.
"Emily!"
She looks up to her.
"Emily, we're at the bus. Be careful though!"
And Tamora descends back to the ground.
*
eek7
Emily nodded, and waved at her.
She walked off quickly, and Emily blinked.
She turned around and started walking in, what she thought, was the direction of the bus.
After walking for a half an hour, Emily knew she was lost. "You guys?" she whimpered, and, feeling tired, fell asleep on a bench.
*
hilohello
>Originally posted by seekergurl:
the rest of you are OK, right?<
Not I.
Hilo hears voices. Strange, it's so faint. And she can't see anyone, though that might be because of all that fog.
*
marci
Marci suddenly stood up and took off down a barely beaten path until coming to a large cavern. "Throwing open a trap door so dives down the hole and sees a shimmering circle of light in the corner. Not knowing if she'd have enough time to alert the others she steps into the circle and plummets down a vast hole until landing in a red circular room. Seeing a figure in the corner she pulls out her wand "Wolf? is that you?"
*
seekergurl
While her uncle is busy helping the others, Meg stares into the ring. The face was gone now, but she was sure... Could it be someone was actually inside the ring? Those eyes had looked so familiar... Suddenly, she feels something hit her back, and she is sent toppling forward, Meg puts an arm forward, but instead of hitting mud, she hits red carpet.
*
marci
hearing someone land behind her she turns around
"Meg is that you? How did you get here?"
*
seekergurl
"I... I don't know..." Meg rubs her head. "I just kind of... fell." She stands up, and reaches up to the roof. [i]I came down that way, perhaps I can back up, too... "How about you, Marci?" How'd you get here?"
*
wolfperson1
"She just fell in. You got in the easy way. I was transported by a wand. You came in by some other way." Wolf says as she stumbles towards them. "Look outside. We are in a ring or something."
*
marci
I looked at the ring when you picked it up and realised what "they" had done, so I cran through a trap door and saw the light and knew that wolf was trapped in here, come on I think I can get us out
*
rowena29
*suddenly a young witch named Rowena Gold apparates*"What has been going gone???", she asks.
*She turns into an eagle and looks around. Now, with her extra vision powers she notices the movement inside the ring. Immediately she understands* She says,"Releasium Meg....*but before she can say anything further she finds herself inside the ring* She mutters,"Oh just great....well..at least Meg is out." She continues,"Too bad this ring is magic-proof from the inside....
*
rowena29
I mean she transformed and said,"Releasium Meg....
*
marci
"Come on, we're going to have to do this the old fashioned way. Ropinum!" Three long ropes come tumbling down from no where. "Lets climb" After an hour or so the tree finally make it to the shimmering light. "Lets go one at a time" She says "Wolf you go first." As wolf connects with the light she disappears. Same with the other girl finally masrci slids through the porthole and the group walk back to where the bus and the others are....
*
rowena29
Just call me Rowena...ok?!
They come out of the ring..."Hilo!!!", they say together.
*
eek7
Emily was shooken to wake up, and a groungy looking man with a dirty beard and coat smiled at her.
"'Ello, there. The streets of London 'er no place for a little one like yourself."
"Wha-What?"
"Well I found you a'sleepin' here. You have no home?"
"I do... I don't know how I got here."
"Well, here's a blanket, get some rest..."
"Where is everyone... where's the bus?"
"Oh, you came from that crash? Yeah the news is all over it... Can't find anyone in it! Well maybe you should go see 'em."
"Oh.." and Emily sighed, falling asleep again.
*
cleverwitch7
Back in the farmhouse, Marci's muggle cousins were listening to the radio. "Strange things have been happening as a result of a car crash up in the North. The bus crashed yesterday, around four o'clock p.m., and was turned over. Reporters who searched the area found a dead bus driver- and a very strange-looking ring. We don't know why the ring is ruby tinted with black, but scientists are looking at it right now. No other victims were found. This is Dave for News at Ten." Clev's face became paler than usual. "They might see us doing magic! I've got to warn the rest!" She apparated herself to where the bus was. She told the group about the reporter, than stopped. "Where's Emily?"
*
marci
"The ring! Oh my god, the ring you guys! If scientists are looking at it now then their going to realize theres something differant about it, Its a good thing we aren't still trapped inside." "What are we going to do?"
*
rowena29
"Calm down, Marci! We're not getting anywhere by getting uptight. We need to think calmly and use our heads. We need to get back that ring but how? Wait a minute... where are Meg and Hilo?"
*
seekergurl
"Stress less," Meg says, "I'm right here." Sirius just left, he said to go back to Marci's cousins. He wants to try and get that ring back.
*
cleverwitch7
"Well, we have to get out of here as fast as possible. And the bus can't stay here." Clev focused on the bus, and it disappeared. Doing magic without a wand was a talent that she possessed. "Now, should we go back to Marci's cousins?"
*
marci
I don't know if thats a good idea, chances are they heard the brodcast and have probably called every paper and news team around saying that there is a whole group alive and was at their house, if we go back we could be swarmed with reporters.
*
cleverwitch7
"Where should we go, then?"
*
rowena29
"Clev, you shouldn't have made the bus disappear. If the Muggles come and see the bus isn't here they might get suspicious. After all, only magic can make a bus disappear. I think its better if you bring it back. But we need a place to go to right now...How about my house? Mum has gone on a business meeting somewhere and Dad must have gone to work. There won't be anybody there except the servants." , Rowena says. "Or if you have a better idea....."
*
marci
"I don't, Lets go, how far away is it?"
*
rowena29
"Well, those who can...can apparate. If not we could all fly there. I could turn you into birds.....But the sonner we get out of here the better...."
*
seekergurl
"I wouldn't risk it. Once we're transfigured into birds, we'll have bird's brains and we'll probably forget where we want to go. Let's just catch the Knight Bus."
*
rowena29
"No, you won't have bird brains. When I turn you into birds it will be like being an animagus. But, if you don't want to risk it we can catch the Knight bus. But, let's get away from here first...we don't want any Muggles to see us."
*
floo
Meanwhile the ring had been taken!! It was in a bag being handed over from a tall dark woman to a short skinny school girl. Once given the ring the girl went through the train turnstile into Platform 9 and 3/4. This girl was on her way back to Hogwarts, and this girl was Sharra Lyons. Her mother worked in the muggle world as a scientist and seen Wolf and the others inside the ring. Knowing it was magic she's called her daughter and told her to give it to Dumbledore. So Sharra was taking the ring to Dumbledore, but she was so curious that she peeped at the ring. She almost cried in surprise to see a pair of eyes staring back at her. She dropped the ring back into the bag and sat silently as the train reached Hogsmeade.

"Repparius!" The bus reappeared. "Who knows how much time it will take for the Knight Bus to find us! There has to be a quicker way."

Emily looked around.
She may have known her way around NYC, but she didn't know London. She paused, and then saw a sign.
"Ohh! The Beastie Boys had a music video on this street!" and she danced around.
"Excuse me there, Missy."
It was the man that gave her the newspapers last night.
"You know yer way around London?"
"Umm.. Now I do!"
Emily was obsessed with the Beastie Boys. She could find her away around from here.
"Ok. If you say so." and he walked away.
"Oh no.. What about the others? Where are they!" she sighed, after he had left.
It was about 6:30 in the morning. She walked around aimlessly for a little bit, and she heard a little voice.
"Cara? Is that you? Where have you been?"
"Umm... I'm not Cara." Emily stuttered.
"Oh you must be. Stop fooling!"
"Umm. I'm not Cara. And I don't know who you are."
"Oh. Maybe you're not. Yeah, you're uglier than Cara. Sorry to bother you!"
"Thanks a lot."
Emily looked around once more and found a shop that sold televisions, and had lots of them on in the front. It was a news report.
"Police are still searching for the bus AND the people from a bus crash late last night. Neighbors reported they heard the crash, and lots of teenage girls entered their houses. Only one injury. The girls left, and seemed to have disappeared. We only know that one of their names is Emily. The bus disappeared at about 3:30 AM. Please, if you see or know any girls or any information about the bus, contact us. This could be the second largest massmurder of all, if our thoughts are confirmed." The young reporter said, and then smiled and started talking about sports.
"Oh.. My.." Emily said, and sat down on a bench.

"A quicker way?" Meg laughs out loud. "What quicker way to travel than by the Knight Bus?" She sticks out her wand and several seconds later, in a puff of smoke the Knight Bus appears.

Meg fumbles in her pocket and pays the fare for everyone. They all walk inside. There are only a few witches and wizards sitting or lying in the beds that line the sides of the Knight Bus. "Where to?" The driver asks.

Rowena says,"The Gold Basket."
The bus starts and everyone settles down on a bed. Conductor stares at her and says,"What's the point? Got a pass?"
Rowena laughs and shows him a green pass with its edges embroidered in real bronze and written in silver at the top: The holder of this pass is allowed to enter the Gold Basket. And underneath that in bold, pure gold letters was written: Rowena Gold.
The conductor looks first at the pass and then at Rowena and asks," You related?"
She nods her head and replies,"I'm Mr.Gold's daughter."
The conductor seemed awed and bowed and said," What an honour...an honour!"
Rowena looks embarrassed and looks away and whispers to the others,"This is happening now, I don't know what's going to happen when somebody finds out that I survived Voldemort's curse too!!"

Emily found Diagon Alley and entered. Everyone was sleeping in the dawn. She ran to a tree and climbed up it, scared.

We're fine..but I'm worried about Emily and Hilo...I wonder where they are...

Clev sat on a bed and sipped her hot Nyquil. "What is the Gold Basket?" She asked Rowena.
*

"The Gold basket? Well, it used to be only The Gold Mansion but then the grounds were also included and then the surrounding town. Dad bought it all. But only residents are allowed in the town because once they got quite a few visitors and the next morning they were gone and so was the money of the owner of the house they stayed at. So, all residents were given a pass to go in and come out. It's a very posh area so everyone who lives there is rich as hell. This pass is special, see it's written in gold so I can enter the mansion as well. Well, when we get back I'm going to see Mom's mirror to see Hilo and Emily."

"How long will it take to get there?"

I'm just postin' here to bring this back to the top...
Hilo woke up and looked around. Where was she? Well, she wasn't at home, that's for sure. She tried to sit up to look around, but a sharp pain brought her back down. She drifted out of consciousness again.

The students finally arrive. They stand there for a minute, in awe at the slpendor of the town.

"My my, Rowena. My grandfather was rewarded here for his Auror exploits a few years back...but he never said how elegant this place actually is!" Tamora said, looking around. "Would they accept us? We don't have passes."

"Maybe they except personal guests too."
