Running Away ~open~

Anastasia walked into the three broomsticks, it was a dark night and she had left her house because there was too much fighting. She couldn't stand it any longer and decided to leave the house so she wouldn't have to hear it anymore. She had packed all of her things that night and waited till everyone was asleep before she made her escape. Ana was grateful when she reached the Leaky Cauldron, she had rode the night bus here. She walked up to the bartender and asked, "I would like a room for the night. I won't be staying long." The bartender gave her a key to a room and she headed up the stairs to it. Ana put her things down in the room and climbed into the bed sighing as she quickly fell asleep. The next morning she awoke and smiled as she got dressed, she felt, for once in her life, free. Ana walked downstairs and grabbed some breakfast, sitting by the fire she ate everything on her plate. 'I wonder how i'm gonna be able to get back to Hogwarts. I should have thought about that before i left home, oh well.' She thought to herself as she looked into the fire.

Danny walked into the Leaky Cauldron feeling almost neutral. He still felt a bit sick. He shouldnt have stayed up so late last night. He walked towards the bartender and asked him for a light drink. Danny then sat on one of the stools and noticed Ana just sitting there. He got up and walked towards her. "Hey," he said showing a weak smile due to his condition "what are you doing here so early?"

"Oh hey. Um i actually was here last night." She said not knowing how he would react to her running away from her house. "I kinda ran away, i couldn't stand the fighting anymore so i left."

"Fighting?" he asked in a worried tone wondering is she had been a part of it. He hoped not. "Why what happened?" He sat down and looked at her

"Well my mother and father were arguing because of me and my twin sister were playing with our younger sister. We were playing with her so that it would wear her out and she would go to sleep. She was only asleep for a minute when my father started yelling about it. She woke up and started crying. So my sister and me took her into our room to keep her safe. Me and my twin knew that if dad asked who's idea it was to play with her until she slept that i would be in trouble. So i decided that when everyone was sleeping i would leave my house and not go back." Ana said with teary eyes. She was close to crying because she never wanted to leave her sisters behind but she knew that she had to.

Danny sat and listened to the story. "Thats sad," he said with a sound of concern in his voice. He couldnt think of another thing to say since he had never been in a situation like this. If he tried to give any advice it would probably wouldnt help. "Well you know you didnt do anything wrong right?"

"Yes i know i didn't do anything wrong. My sister told me that i would have to run away to keep from getting hurt. She is so much braver than me. I didn't want to leave but she made me promise to leave and go somewhere. She said she and our other sister would be safe and that they wouldn't be harmed." Ana said looking down at the table.

"My god," he said with forlorn eyes. He wondered if they would still keep in touch. Yet he knew they would somehow. Hopefully. "so what will you do?"

"I don't know. My sight hasn't given any sign that he might hurt them. I'll have to figure out a way to get them out of the house before something does happen. I just don't know when i'll be able to get them out." Ana said looking at him.

"I'll do anything to help," he said calmly showing truth and sincerity[sp?]. "Just ask." He wondered how things would play out. And-wait a sight? "Pardon me for asking but what did you mean by sight?"
