Occasionally, she turned around and made sure she still had Braeden and Caroline behind her. "It's not far now..." she said, observing the others looked a little fatigued.
Shortly after she spoke, she started hearing the hustle and bustle of the main street. She leaned against the side of the alley entrance and waved her arm towards the main street. "Hurray!" she said dramatically, though for her two companions, they probably felt it genuinely. "After you," she said to the others, who were eager to get out of the dark alley.
Braeden smiled as he tried not to laugh when Caroline tried to figure out where she had come from. Oh, he knew that feeling of being completely lost. Braeden spent a large part of his time just being lost.
Luckily for he and Caroline, though, Ellie had taken the lead and now guided the other two through the darkness of the alleyway, passing through small crowds of rats and other undesirable creatures that liked to dig through the trash and junk that crowded against the walls of the alley.
And then there was light.
Braeden found himself grinning as Ellie led them out to the Hogsmeade streets, filled with other Hogwarts students and - most importantly for the boy -
fresh air! He took a deep breath and smiled in delight. Oh yes. This was where he was supposed to have ended up ages ago.
"Anyone up for some butterbeer? It's on me," offered the boy, turning to the two girls with a smile. He sure could use some right about now, especially when the weather was getting so chilly.
