If was midnight in London, the sounds of club music blared through the streets as Muggles walked drunkenly home before going to sleep and waking up to another day of drudgery and boredom.
This will continue for eighty years, or more if you are unlucky, then you die. That's the English, American even Kazakhstanian way as we have drunk too much, and said too little which results in just another couple of Dollars for the government as we are all just a number at the end of the day.
Now onto the smaller scale David was walking out of a club as he had just finished another wrestling event which resulted in just more money for David's wallet. He walked with his hood up, down the street walking past a few drunken groups of girls who were tripping over each other's heels before giving a barrage of insults in David's direction.
What a fickle life we weave eh? David turned the corner into a dark street looking for the house for which he had claimed his own, christening it "The Squat". Something caught his eye and David feared that something dark had just arrived so continued walking down the road.
Finally he felt alone so turned around and walked back towards his "home", suddenly David gripped his wand waiting to see what would happen next. What made David do this? Was it a friend, a foe or just a simple squirrel? Find out next time on a future episode of "David Osler, The Crazy Freak from Weirdo Town!"

Delilah was in London a lot latter than she had actually expected to be. She had been shopping for decent down time clothes. Things that she could wear after school and on the weekends. Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade did not have much in that way. She needed muggle clothes. They were comfortable in her opinion.
But by the time she had finished, it had been later than she had expected. Delilah was too young to Appariate and she had gotten a bit lost. She could not find her way back to Diagon Alley. She had not been in England very long and really, she should not have wondered off by herself. She should have asked Adam to come along but it was a full moon tonight and that would not have been the best idea for a fun filled evening.
So here she was lost and alone in London. She knew it was late and the muggles around her were rowdy. Delilah was afraid to speak to them. Not only did she speak limited English, though that was getting better...but she did not want to look stupid. A boy left a building up ahead of her and Delilah felt a little relief.
She knew him! She had seen him in her house at school. Maybe he was heading back to Hogwarts too. Delilah started following him. He was quite a distance ahead of her now. Delilah thought about approaching him but would he make fun of her? Some of the students had not been so kind to the Colombian girl.

The scene opens with David slowly placing his wand into his pocket giving Delilah a small wave. He raised his hands, reminiscent of someone getting apprehended by the police, to show that he was no threat towards her.
David had never spoken to Delilah so he had little to go on, he knew that she was Colombian from people whispering down the corridors. Many students were obviously unkind to her, as most teenagers were David knew what that was like.
"Hey Delilah, erm what are you doing here?"
He gave her a smile but secretly wondered why she was here. It was one thing for a wizard or witch to be here, but also someone who obviously had trouble speaking English.
"Would you like to walk on?"
David gestured up the road with his left hand while with his right he held it for Delilah to take. She had to be nervous and he didn't blame her, London wasn't a comfortable place at the best of times and at night it was even worse, then Death Eaters were added to the equation.
Life seemed bleak in England these days and being an outcast, whether you be a schizophrenic or just Colombian. David gave a sigh and put down both hands before ruffling his hair using his left hand.
"Sorry are you okay?"

Cassidy had not slept for two nights, after David had left her mind continued to search for where he could have gone. Sitting up she looked down to the grounds and saw a Hufflepuff cross it in front of the window, grabbing her cloak she quickly headed down and out to follow her. She heard her say London and watched her as disappeared. Cassidy headed off the school grounds and aperated there herself but as she stepped out she found herself jostled by numerous amounts of people all heading in one direction.
Jenna caught sight of the Huffie and followed staying back and out of sight , but when she caught sight of David talking to Delilah she didn't she decided to stay hid, so she could watch and not interrupt what they were doing. Her knees hurt from crouching just as a smelly man grabbed her shoulder and she stood up pushing him off her with a right hook she swung and made contact knocking two of the mans front teeth out.
Turning to face David and Delilah she walked over here head some what hung low " Hi " was all she said her cheeks red as she looked up at David standing in front of her she looked at Delilah " sorry I followed you , I just wanted to get away and find David , didn't know you would first" she said and kicked a can at her feet, it rolled across the ally and rested against the wall with a loud clang.

Delilah stopped as soon as he looked at her. She swallowed hard but when he gave her a small wave, a little smile played on her lips. She was a little shy with him. He intimidated her a bit. But then again, most people intimidated Delilah. "Hey Delilah, erm what are you doing here?" He called to her. She met his eyes now. So he knew her name... That was a good step in the right direction. When she spoke, her Spanish accent was obvious and she spoke slowly trying to form the Engish words correctly. She had gotten off luck with some people at school. Some understood Spanish so it was much easier to communicate with them. "I was...shopping? I am lost." She confessed and then blushed. As she spoke, Delilah had stepped closer to him. "Would you like to walk on?" He asked her now and Delilah face became confused. "walk on?" She did not understand. Did he want her to leave him alone? Was she bothering him? She didn't want to be alone again. However, he offered his hand to her. Delilah looked from his hand to his face and then when he asked if she was ok, she shifted all of her bags to one hand and nodded. "Me siento bien" She said now and then caught herself. "I am fine." She repeated in English. Delilah moved to his side now and Delilah reached over and took the hand he had offered earlier. Her hand was small in his. She had not heard anyone else approaching until the girl was almost right on top of them. " Hi " The girl said. " sorry I followed you , I just wanted to get away and find David , didn't know you would first" Now Delilah was really confused. What was she talking about? This girl had been following her all day? And had never said anything? And why would she think that Delilah would have found this boy? Delilah had not been looking for him. It was just a fluke. Delilah looked at David now a confused expression on her face. Wearing: www.polyvore.com/cgi/app

David smiled when Delilah took his hand. It wasn’t for a personal pleasure, it was for safety for Delilah. London was a dangerous place especially at night so it was best that she was with someone who looked at least a little intimidating.
Suddenly Delilah begun to speak Spanish, which was something that David could do. Even if it was just a little amount of Spanish it would at least make Delilah feel a little more confident around not just him but Hogwarts as well in the long run.
” Hablo un poco spanish. Tu gusta londres?
It was probably a bit rusty but David had tried to ask if she liked London and that he spoke a little Spanish. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Cassie walk towards him and his smile only grew. He did like Cassie, he could emphasise with her to a certain degree and that’s what made them alike. David felt guilty for leaving her at Hogwarts but he needed to leave, even if it was just for selfish reasons.
Slowly he let go of Delilah’s hand, he wasn’t ashamed for holding onto it. There was nothing to hide, they weren’t going out they were friends, seemingly anyway. Cassie begun to speak about her trying to find David and he felt a bit of pride enter his mind. She had made the effort to find him, even apparating underage!
”I missed you too.”
David wrapped his arms around Cassie and gave her a little kiss on the cheek before backing off and turning back to Delilah pointing at Cassie during the same time.
”Cassie es mi amigo”
Slowly David turned back to Cassie and gave her another smile. ”We can’t stay here for too long, Muggles here are quite unordinary and dangerous.”
David’s neck was hurting from looking backwards and forwards from Cassie and Delilah so often. He extended his hand once again to Delilah.
” Tenemos que irnos pronto”

Cassidy saw David smile as he looked at her and was relived when he puled her to him she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him for a moment before he let her go and spoke to the other older girl in a language she barely understood but she got the just it was good what he was saying. Cassidy nodded she agreed with him. " David do you have a safe place we could go to?" she asked watching a muggle pass close by where they stood to the untrained eye they looked like a bunch of kids just hanging out in an alley but she knew if the authority caught them they would be in trouble especially her for the underage aperating though she had found it easy to do. she looked at Delilah and smile nervously.
" Im cassidy...um let me see if I get this right, mi nombre es Cassidy" she said slowly and looked at her but glanced at David " did I say that right?" she asked.

” Hablo un poco spanish. Tu gusta londres?" David asked her and Delilah giggled. She was like London? The sound was soft and she looked down for a moment. When he released her hand however, Delilah blushed and took a step back. Was this girl his girlfriend? Of course she was not single herself. She had Adam and Adam could take on any male. There was no question about that.
She watched as the other two hugged and thought to herself that maybe she should leave. Delilah did not want to be the third wheel. ”Cassie es mi amigo” He told her now and Delilah nodded without looking back up at him. They were friends. That was fine.
”We can’t stay here for too long, Muggles here are quite unordinary and dangerous.” David told the other girl and Delilah looked around slightly. She did see a few few homeless people but they did not look particularly dangerous to her.
When he spoke Spanish again, Delilah considered telling him that she did understand English to an extent but then Cassie spoke as well. " Im cassidy...um let me see if I get this right, mi nombre es Cassidy" Cassie told her and Delilah sighed softly. " did I say that right?"
David had offered his hand again but this time Delilah did not take it. "I can understand English." She said gently and pronouncing each word carefully. "I should be getting back to 'ogwarts."

David nodded in reply to Cassie's question about a safe place and proceeded to take her hand in his, seeing as Delilah seemed annoyed with him.
"Yeah my house is round the corner if you would like to go?"
He looked at Delilah with a smile on his face, her mood had changed suddenly all because of Cassie's arrival. How dare she act like this, Cassie was an amazing person. This deserved a punch, yeah a big punch to the face so that her blood ran on the ground.
David breathed slowly to calm himself down, he didn't need to make Cassie scared of him considering that they were getting on so well.
"Will you be going now?"
He asked Delilah, hoping that she would go as then it would leave Cassie under the care of David, also she wouldn't feel like a third wheel. Shouting begun to come from an alleyway that was behind the trio.
"Honestly we should get moving...."

Cassidy looked at the older girl and blushed " ow um.. sorry " she said shifting on her feet as she stood with David she saw Delilah's change in mood and was puzzled looking up at David she spoke. "Maybe...maybe I should go, she was here first " she said holding his one hand with both of hers. Now she knew where he was she was happier. She turned her head to the entrance of the alley and frowned.
Cassidy looked at Delilah " its early there you can stay a bit longer" she said " please " she asked even though she would love to be on her own with David she knew having others around little by little would stop her anxiety attacks once and for all that and the fact she was meditating each time she felt it happen now.

David shook his head as Delilah seemingly ignored his question. It might have been the language barrier or it might have been just pure rudeness.
"Come on Cassie."
He turned on his heels and begun walking towards his newly christened home "The Squat", dragging Cassie along with him and out of danger. When they turned the corner David stopped and hugged Cassie.
"Sorry about that, I just thought she seemed to not enjoy your presence and I will not let anyone do that to my friends."
David gave her a hug before pondering what actually happened to Delilah as he hadn't gone back to check and he wasn't going to. She was probably gone by now anyway.
"My home is just along here..."
He begun to walk along until they reached a house which seemed to be empty. David turned to Cassie before gesturing towards the house.
"Sorry this was the only house which was empty and I thought that You-Know-Who would never find me in there..."

Cassidy moved with David she looked back somewhat disappointed in Delilah she could not think what had happened to make her want to leave so quickly all she had done was say hi and tell her her name but she made a note when she went back not to find or follow her. She gave a deep sigh and held David as she walked with him looking up at the house she smiled.
" its ok " she said and nodded she understood " its dry and warm so I guess not a place he would look in" she glanced back one last time before shaking her head and following him more her hand still wrapped around his arm like he was her brother some one she admired and a friend. Cassidy had so many questions to ask him , why had he left like he did and what had he been doing with himself.

David smiled when Cassie expressed that she was okay with the house. It wasn't exactly Buckingham Palace but it sure was dry, warm and had running water! What more could any-one need, besides food obviously.
"I promise to keep you safe alright, whether the danger be Dementors, Death Eaters or even the Christmas Wizard!"
He gripped her hand and begun to walk up the stairs. Clicking his fingers the boards covering the door begun to pull apart leaving a locked door which David opened with a simple "Alohomora" charm. The door swung open and a dark corridor greeted them.
David sighed, held onto Cassie's hand and walked into the surrounding darkness. The door closed behind them.
((CLOSED))
