Being alone was never one of my weaknesses it was more like a strength, being alone meant not having to rely on anyone, to help you or be with you. It was just you and yourself that's it. I was run away witch, I fought in the battle of Hogwarts. But of course, I already knew that Tom Riddle was not going to win.  I was a foresight, not a very common gift in the Wizarding world that's how I knew that he would turn into ashes and I fled just like the rest of them I was apparently in pureblood so I was forced just like everyone else well— most of everyone.

I of course was a death eater still a death eater Mark was still there a year. The battle happened two years ago, I am now 19. Wizards are hunting death eaters to get rid of them looking at my people.  I actually wouldn't call that my people they were killers I was the complete opposite. I was in a safe house in the Muggle world hiding. Just like some dozen death eaters. It was just so devastating hiding being a runaway witch, none of it was fine, none of it was okay.

Phone Call

"I'm on my way already sir,"

"Don't be late like yesterday morning, and bring my black coffee"

"I apologize, and I'll bring the coffee first thing today,"

"You better,"

End of Call

I sighed at his words. New York City was pretty busy. Everyone on their phones in their own world. The traffic always goes on.

I worked at Lacey's a fashion company. My boss was no other than Guy LaMontagne. A very well-known person around here.

~~~~

"Here you go sir," I passed him the coffee slowly making sure I didn't drop it."Very well, today's project is recreating this dress." He said, revealing silk, puffy pure white dress behind him. It is beautiful, Memories from the Yule Ball came right in. B.S

"Miss, Archer" LaMontagne waved his hands across my face."Sorry, sir," Aileen Archer my muggle name. Guy LaMontagne proceeded to tell us to find the fabric of the dress, here in Lacy's. It was assigned to this girl named Kayla Armstrong, around here I didn't get those types of tasks. Instead, I was always around Guy.

I was finally home, I hated work if I'm being honest. It was always so cheerful, people being happy to work. I on the other hand was always so serious and determined about my work, it never brought happiness to me.

I lived in a huge apartment complex, when I was still a witch, there was this muggle that knew about our secret, so then I exchanged my money for his money. He was rich, even gave me his place. As I was walking up the stairs, I had a neighbor who was such a pain in the ass always having parties. I didn't have any pets or anything like that, instead, I had myself.

I swung the door open and walked in. I wasn't planning to head out once I was inside. I'd rather be here than be in the outside world. Of course, I still had my wand on me, It attached to my skirt. Just in case I had to use it.

I opened my fridge, it revealed ramen noodles behind it, I simply took a pot and started to boil it so I could then grab the ramen and place it in the hot water. I walked away from the stove and decided to walk towards my porch, around this time the breeze was fresh and chilly. I loved that.

I was about to open the door when I had a vision. Someone was about to knock on my door. I'd always get them, so I was used to it.

Max Johnstone?

"Max, what are you doing here around this time?" I ask, wanting him gone.
"I'm sorry to intrude, but I was wondering if you have a safety-first kit?" He asks, I finally got the courage to look up at him. But me having a safety first kit, never I had magic. "I'm sorry to disappoint you but I don't, sorry," I say, while a frown on my face.

A vision was kicking in again, this time it was much more powerful. the last thing I remember is feeling numb and black intruded in my vision.

————————————————————————

I quickly jumped up from where ever I was, I made sure if my wand was still attached to my skirt, it's gone. Oh god, my eyes scanned the room. While I was doing that, there was a lot of windows, with no curtains. My eyes shot towards a noise, it was just Max again. Walking down the stairs, shirtless— I quickly looked away from him, I started to play with my hair instead.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me in a concerned tone. "I feel fine, I don't know what happened" I replied, I had a headache. It seems to be growing worse. "You fainted, and I brought you back here." Sweet, but no thank you. "Oh, thank you, I should be on my way now," I said, getting up from the soft couch. I got up to fast, that my head feels like it's about to explode. Did I put my hand on my forehead to attempt it to stop? My knees began to feel weak again. I was probably about to faint again, but before I could he caught me. "Woah there, I think you may need to take a break."

————————————————————————

He was making tea, while I used his phone to call my work department, I told them I was sick, so I received a day off. 

I was trying to figure out what had happened last night, all I remembered was boiling a pot on the stove.

"Here, this helps with the headaches," He says, passing me a cup filled with tea. Now that I think of it he was a person that was charming and nice. But I wouldn't fall for him that easy, not that he's trying to get me to like him.

I took a sip from it, having no idea what flavor or type of tea this was, I was more like a coffee person since I was around it all the time. Having to run errands for Guy. I have no idea what caused me to faint. I was hiding my panic behind a smile, my wand is gone. I'm in a stranger's home. I kind of know-how to defend myself, my mother taught me how to defend myself with spells and how to defend myself with my body as well.

I started a conversation since I knew he wasn't going to let me go anytime soon.
