[color=a0410d]'The wizarding world? I certainly haven't been there. Do you have flying dragons in there and living mermaids and all? Like in the books?!' [/color]he started throwing one question after the other at Laura without even thinking about his being obnoxious and all. He was not used to speaking to people freely, or more like having people speaking freely to him, so this girl was his life-saving straw of rescue in the world he never knew, the... magical world.

Ned blushed, not sure if it was because of the cough or because of the situation where he was ruining the moment and the cool conversation they were having.

I have never seen anything like this befor...'[/color] but his words stopped in mid-air as his mind drifted to an unknown woman with long blonde hair, her icy blue eyes looked at him with hatred as she flicked one of those wands at him. He didn't understand what was happening, but there was a light pain and then... He came to in the compartment.
[color=a0410d]'Before.'[/color]
