73 Charles. (1/2)
”Are you sure this is the way?” Theodore asked.
”Shut up or I will stick your wand up your ass.” Draco said getting annoyed, ”This is the 58th time, that you have asked me that question.”
”But we have been flying for hours now.” Theodore mumbled, ”There's nothing but grasses here, its been 4 hours since we last saw another person.”
”Che, why don't you-- wait what is that?” Draco said pointing at the person below.
”What is what?” Theodore looked down, ”Probably a muggle, we should fly a bit higher.”
”We are literally in the middle of nowhere.” Draco said, ”Do you think a muggle would be just standing there.”
”Maybe it's the port guy.” Theodore said shrugging his shoulders, ”Let's land.”
Both of them flew down towards the guy who looked old and was wearing rugged clothing, from his reaction he didn't seem like a muggle as he was just standing there watching them carefully.
Theodore looked at Draco and passed his broom to him, ”Excuse me are you the one in control of the illegal portkey here?”
The man nodded as he pointed at the bowl on the ground.
Draco put both his and Theodore's broom inside his suitcase and walked over, ”It is to Budapest, right?”
The man nodded again.
”So how much?” Draco asked taking out his pouch.
The man pointed 3 fingers out. ”3 galleons?” The man shook his head again, ”30 galleons?” The man nodded pointing at Theodore.
”So 30 Galleon for me?” Theodore said guessing, ”Then what about him?”
The man pointed all 10 fingers,
”Are you trying to loot us?” Draco said angrily, ”Why 30 galleons for him and a 100 for me?”
The man didn't say anything and just stayed there silently.
”Don't be so petty?” Theodore said grinning, ”You are a rich man.”
”Che, just because I am rich doesn't mean I have to spend lavishly on stupid things.” Draco complained throwing a small pouch filled with coins to the man, ”130 galleons.”
The man weighted the pouch in his hand and put it inside his coat. He then looked back at them signaling them to come forward. Both of them did and grabbed the bowl.
”A famous person will be charged more, especially when someone's out looking for them.” The man spoke suddenly.
”You can speak, you filth--” Before Draco could finish his sentence, he was sucked into the bowl along with Theodore as they disappeared from there, landing in an alley in the middle of nowhere.
”Ouch!” Draco said rubbing his back, ”What the hell was he talking about? Are there people really searching for me?”
”I don't know.” Theodore said looking around, ”Where exactly are we right now?”
”Let's look around, we might find some clue.” Draco said. They walked out of the alleyway and looked around. People were running around here and there in wizard attire with no muggle in-sight.
”Well, at least we landed in a wizarding community.” Theodore said, ”You stay here, I will go around and search what's going on.”

”What the hell is this?” Narcissa said throwing the newspaper. ”Anti-Dark force? Are they really planning on killing my son.”
”It's not a killing plan, they want to keep him under observation whenever he is out of Hogwarts.” Lucius said sighing, ”Some Aurors have come out of the dark to make sure Draco is protected and have joined the organization themselves, the primary goal for them is to lead children like Draco to a better place for the sake of future.”
”By brainwashing them?” Narcissa sneered, ”If you aren't going to do something then, I will handle the situation myself.”
