~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Adi recognised Lux's voice even before he squinted at the figure that had collided with him and raised his wand. "Lumos!'' Ah, that was a million times better! "Hi, Lady Lux!'' Had he ever mentioned he liked calling her that? It made the girl seem more elegant in a way. Hehe.
Anywaaay. "You saw that flash of light too, didn't you?" It was a rhetorical question. Why else would she be here in this nasty smelling place? Checking to see if Benny was still with him, the Puffer cautiously moved forward, the light from his wand illuminating the alley with each step he took. And with each of those steps, Adi was threatened to pass out. MAN, IT STANK. He vaguely wondered if the Bubble Head Charm would work at blocking out the UNBEARABLE STENCH. The charm did allow them to breathe under water so he figured that the Bubble held a great deal of oxygen.
But there was no time for that. The light had just shone on something. Or SOMETHINGS, rather. "Guys!'' Adi had no idea why he was whispering. Maybe he was conscious of the fact that someone could be around or maybe because he was holding his breath as much as he could. "Look! A camera!'' The source of the flash! Obviously it was still set to take pictures... one BRIGHT flash went off, nearly blinding Adi. But that wasn't even the most interesting and most disturbing thing. "Am I seeing things?'' he asked Benny and Lux as he blinked rapidly to clear his eyes. Was that an old looking hat and a jacket? O__O If so WHAT had happened here? Had someone just ditched their belongings? Adi doubted that. Instinctively, he raised his wand to cast the light around the rest of the Alley, looking for traces of anyone else.
CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
Oh hi, Caleb! "No one let off anything,'' Adi began patiently and disregarding the attitude. "We just saw a flash of light and came to check out what it was.'' He pointed back at the three objects on the ground. "We found those.'' |
