In the midst of his thoughts he realized that someone outside of him was asking him something, the pain in his body still unbearable but he was holding on, he looked towards them, and did his best to mouth "help". He couldn't exactly get it right and couldn't exactly hear at the moment his mind still not registering reality very well.

Eaton followed parents to the Leaky Caldern. It was crowded every one talking about what they had seen or heard from others. They picked a corner of the Leaky Caldren that was the least crowded and sat down. Her parents looked at her trying to decide who should speak first. But before they could speak a girl was standing right in front of there table waiting. Eaton's father addressed her. "May we help you?"

Isaak wondered if the boy was still in his right mind after being tortured by the unforgivable curse, he hadn't answered his question or didn't really seem to acknowledge his presence.

"Did you hear me? are you alright?" Isaak asked Veyas. he hoped that the boy hadn't gone insane from the curse, because he had read stories about how the torture curse could cause victims to go mentally crazy.

He laid there, vision de-blurring, and body aching less, still hurting like hell to move. "I... need... Help," he said before just the pain of talking knocked him out,

Paul looked at the people gathering around a form. " Do you guys need some help with him? " Paul asked his American accent was clear and he thought about hiding it but did not really care enough at the moment to try and hide it. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small vile and held it out. Paul's nose was still bleeding and he pressed the sleeve of his robe to it in a lame attempt to stop the bleeding. "It will help with the pain." Paul said lamely not wanting to get into his project, That evolved a flying skate board and the roof tops of London.

John looked up from his book to see his family had left. They were outside the shop now, helping tend to a wounded boy. John went out and joined the crowd. The boy looked to be about his age. He thought he might have seen him around Hogwarts before. "Guys stop fussing about him. You're gonna give him a panic attack," John said, hoping to get his point across the noisy crowd.

Paul nodded his agreement at the man's words but left the vile where it sat. He walked out of the door letting out a whistle, Rasmussen landed on his head peaking down he chirped and nuzzled Paul's cheek. "Okay calm down i am fine just a bit of a disturbance." With that Paul made his way down to the leaky caulderon. And ordered a butter beer from the barkeep. He sat in the back and lit up a muggle cigarette. And sighed out a cloud of smoke Rasmussen fallowed his lead and exhaled a cloud of smoke himself. Crawling down his arm. The small fire lizard grabbed Paul's butter beer ant tilted it back lapping up some of the butter beer. Than set it back and curled up on the table. Paul smiled at his long time friend.

I looked down at the girls father. When ever it came to actually asking the questions, she got nervous. "I-Uh-I... Wanted to know what happened... Um. Out there. Was? Was she really there" I stammered. I knew the girl would think I was weird. But it was kind of worth it. My curious mind sometimes led me to great things. Maybe she wouldn't think I was weird.

"he needs to get to a hospital" Isaak told the others who had gathered around the boy. just then his father Feodor came over to where he was and motioned with his hand for the students to back away.

"Step back, I will take him to the Leaky Cauldron where he will rest until he regains consciousness" his said as he picked up the boy, and then he vanished, taking the boy to the wizarding pub and inn. he told the staff what had happened and gotten a room for the unconscious boy. when he got to the room, Feodor placed the student on the bed and left to tell the staff to look after him. he then Apparated back to the scene of the explosion.

"He is resting at the Leaky Cauldron and should be fine after a good rest" he told his son and the other two boys. Isaak was relieved at the news, his dad was a wizard with a good hear, which showed that not all Slytherins were uncaring. Isaak mother Anya had stayed with his brothers and sister to keep them from seeing any sort of violent injuries inflicted by the evil witch's explosion.

Isaak could here his youngest brother Dimitri asking his mother, "why did dad disappear with that sleeping boy mummy?"

"we'll tell you about it later dear" she told her son in a calm voice, but Isaak could see the worried look in her eyes. the idea of Bellatrix Lestrange being on the loose worried her deeply. when Voldemort was at power, their family was one of the pureblood families of Britain and not joining the Dark Lord would have had them labeled as blood traitors. they had kept their family away from joining the Death Eaters and went into hiding not wanting to join the Dark Lord or be called Blood traitors. but now that Bellatrix was at large, then the possibility of retribution for not joining Voldemort could pose a grave threat to Isaak's family.

I ran back to my father and told him what had happened but i made sure i left out what the lady had said to me. I felt conflicted about lying to my father but i thought he wouldn't take this information very well ,Just because he took my mothers disappearance very hard, she died at the battle of Hogwarts but there was no trace of her body so it was assumed she was dead but there was one slither of information that i do have is have i know it was a Weasly that brutally murdered her , I will have my revenge on the weaslys one day even if it kills me.

Eaton's father looked at her as if to respond to the girl. "Yes she was." Eaton replied. Eaton was not sure what this girl wanted her to tell her but assumed she wanted the truth. Eaton's father spoke up. " Tell her what happened dear." Eaton looked at both her parents and took a deep breath. "I was walking to the Weselesy's shop and a bomb went off." "Lots of people got hurt." Tears started to fall down her face. "Then Bellatrix was there and was torchering a boy." "I went to go and help but others started to fight her." "Then she disappeared." "I just stood there and watched it all happen." "I did not do nothing." She whispered then repeated. "I DID NOT DO ANYTHING." In more of a scream this time. Everyone in the Leaky Caldron stoppped what they where doing and looked at her. She started to have silent tears roll down her face. Her parents told the girl that she need to rest and more people walked into the bar. It was the boy that was injured with some others. Eaton saw them and walked over to them "I am so sorry." And walked away with her parents.

Thomas was so angry and he did not know why all he could was see that women's face. It gave him mixed emotions. He was angry and confused. But curios and intrigued all at the same time. He stood there in the middle of where it all happened just watching everything move around him. It was as if he was not even there. Just like a statue. Nothing more than a statue lost in his thoughts.

Sadie's mother watched as her husband attempted to roast Bellatrix before she simply disappeared. Breathing heavily he made his way back to his wife, "Sadie your mother and i must travel to the ministry of magic immediately to alert them of Bellatrix still being alive. Your are to go into the Leaky Cauldron and have a glass of milk before using the Floo to get to the train station...is that clear young lady?" Sadie nodded slowly, "But daddy...what are you going to do about her..." Sadie's mother shushed her, "Whatever we can my darling...whatever we can." The two wizards nodded to Sadie as Her father used his own fire to use the Floo network. Sadie walked into the Leaky Cauldron and ordered a glass of milk, the bartender looked at her, "Say don't I know you?" Said sighed, "You probably know my parents...The great searing dragons..." She said with no enthusiasm. Sadie turned to the others in the bar, "Was anyone else out there? Did anyone else see what happened?"

Paul watched the disturbance of the person screaming how they did not do anything. Paul felt contempt building up inside him, People who failed to react in a crisis always pissed him off. Do to the fact that there deer in the headlights look and always seemed to get in the way. 'Sock they must be in sock' Paul thought to himself sipping his butter beer. He calmed as he thought of the world at large and how most people never had to deal with a crisis in there life. Where he unlike most people had been exposed to it far to much. He also knew how mean people could be both muggles and wizards alike.

Paul shrugged it off it was not his problem. and comforting people was not really something he was ever really good at. So he stayed in his corner sipping his butter beer his red and black locks falling in front of his face as he scrutinized the table as if it had the answers to the universe. Stubbing out his now smoldering cigarette he stood getting ready to order another butter beer. Paul had already done all the shopping he need to do . All he had to do now wait tell he could get to kings cross .His black pants had chains going down the sides and the clinked at rattled as he made his way to the bar. Paul's black t-shirt he wore under his school robes had the saying 'born to burn' in white across his chest. The inside of his school robes where a deep crimson that all but perfectly matched his hair. Laying down his money Paul got a fresh butter beer and raised it to his lips observing the bar. Waiting to see what would happen next.

John had finally gotten his mother to let him go to the Leaky Cauldron, as long as he stayed there. His father had gone to the Ministry to help with the crisis that would be brewing with the return of Bellatrix. John sat down at the bar and ordered a galleon, dropping six knuts on the glossy surface. Wow. Today had been a pretty exciting day compared to the rest of the summer. And he had a feeling that it was only going to get more exciting at school.

Veyas woke up in an odd place, but he recognized it as the leaky cauldron he was gonna end up staying here anyway. He was in shock for a moment reliving all of what jus happened but all in all he was ok, or so he thought he was, he tried getting out of bed and succeded in getting out just not staying up. He fell to the ground with a hard thud, but he refused to stay down so he got up again, walked out of the room, to the stairs before falling again down the stairs to the pub. "Son of a..!" He whispered angrily and in pain. But he got up again all the same, walking to the bar, listening for someone to talk about what happened.

Thomas had no idea how long he watch the things around him move but, had some how ended up at the Leaky Caldron. He sat at one of the the tables and waited for the waitress to come to his table.

After the dark thoughts of doing terrible thing to the weaslys had left my mind, i bounced my way to the leaky cauldron and sat at the bar. I sat there for 10 minutes until some tripped down the stair which i must admit made me laugh hysterically he got up brushed himself off and sat at the bar he looked like he was in pain i went up to him to see if he was alright "Hello my friend how are you feeling.... hopefully better than your looking" i grinned

"I couldn't tell you mate," Veyas said once they sat down at the bar. "Haven'y exactly looked in the mirror yet. How are you though?" he said feeling a little light headed

Isaak decided that he wanted to go make sure the boy was okay, and asked his parents if he could go to the Leaky Cauldron to check on him. they at first were reluctant to let him go off on his own after what had happened with Bellatrix, but they relented and gave him the okay. his mother told him to be careful and to not talk anyone of suspicious in case there were witches or wizards who were in league with the Death Eater. he promised that he would stay safe and left to head to the tavern and inn. he came up to the Leaky Cauldron and went into the place. he looked around and soon saw Veyas. he walked over to the boy and asked, "do you feel better? I have heard that victims of the torture curse can be permanently scared."

"I really don't know, know I have a hard time standing and know I fell down some stairs, but by God did that curse hurt. If you can avoid it, do so, don't risk it."he gave his wise words from new found experience
