Either he took a wrong turn or took a wrong turn. There was no other way of explaining to why Lorenzo was even here in the first place. This would of been the last place you would of been able to find Lorenzo if he were to ever go missing. The dark, murky, smelling lanes of Knockturn ally had a large scent of urine everywhere you went. It was quite strong and was the common smell of this type of area. The dark towering building prevented any light entering and the only light was the ones that had been shining through the windows of the stores around the area. Darkness filled the air giving the atmosphere a strange dark feeling and the sense of dark magic was everywhere. It was as strong as the scent of the urine that filled the tunnels of the ally.
Oh S**T I think I'm lost! He said to him self as Lorenzo looked around noticing that his jeans had only attracted more dirty every time he took a step. Oh God its the plague! he thought to himself as he took a gasp and frowned slightly. " I'm going to die here if I don't get out." He said as he frantically took turns everywhere from left to left to right to left and so on and so forth. He had been lost seeing as this was only his third time visiting the area and had never been to this side of the ally. Should I ask for help from this guy? He asked him self as he leaned against a wall trying to catch his breath. He started at a man who just stood there and didn't talk or move. Is it a statue? He said with a small giggle as he slowly moved away from the old man.
" I really have to get out!" He screamed with everyone just staring at him not even bothering to help. They all seemed depressed and Gothic like. Lorenzo had not known there was a dark side to the stores of the wizardry world and had not expected this. Reed sparks! he said to himself instantly as he remembered that his mother had told him to cast this spell in the sky if he was ever lost. His feet came to a still from the running he had just done which felt like a triathlon. Lorenzo had been a bright boy and had studied a few charms before starting his Hogwarts lessons.
"Periculum!" He screamed as red sparks bolted out of his wand and flew through the cracks of the towering roofs and finally reaching into the sky. Now I wait. Hopefully someone will come. He said to him self as he noticed night was soon to come. He stood near a store that had been boarded up and leaned his back against the wall with his hand still grasping his wand tight. Very tight in case anything would happen.

Shanice had been shopping in diagon alley, of course a small alley led off to Knockturn alley. She had gained all her belongs as such and felt as if it was time to retreat back to were she had come from, bumping into a few wizards. Someone in a dark cape bumped into her and walked down knockturn alley, she looked over, that was when some red sparks caught her eye. She wasn't sure if it was a sign for someone else to see, or if some poor soul had got lost, it was normal for someone to sometimes get lost.
She walked down the alley seeing a hufflepuff boy down the alley, she grabbed his arm, hoping to startle him slightly, but not to much that he would attack her. She dragged him forcefully away from Knockturn alley, pulling him onto the crowded streets of Diagon alley. She turned to him, "What was you doing down there?" She asked the boy still holding onto his arm. She let go and let her hand go back to her side.

Lorenzo had been standing there having second thoughts of walking away. He closed his eyes for a few seconds until he slightly felt something touching him."Ah let go of me!" Lorenzo screamed as he felt a slight tug on his arm. His mind wasn't exactly functioning at the time and never thought of even attacking the person pulling him. Darkness turned into light and the stench of urine had vanished. The scent of fresh air blasted through his lung refreshing his whole body of the disgusting foul louder that had drenched the streets of Knockturn ally.
"Thank you Thank you!" He said repeatedly as he attempted to hug her out of gratitude. " I sort of took a wrong turn and ended up there. Gosh it's foul down there. How do the shops even survive with that stench?" He said with a smile on his face with a slight laugh which followed behind him. "Umm, I'm Lorenzo De`Corumest. Hufflepuff 5th year." He said followed by a " I'm from Australia." If I'm lucky this might just be a good friendship working here. he said to him self still smiling at her and just gazing at her eyes.

Shanice accepted the hug he gave her, she smiled. Well, some people have to be nice and help, the other strangers had walked past and completely ignored the red sparks that had exploded into the sky above knockturn alley. She shook her head slightly, how could one get lost from Diagon Alley to Knockturn Alley? Shanice would find that extremely hard actually, since she knew this place rather well, along with Knockturn Alley.
As he said 'How do the shops even survive with that stench?' How could one not know?! Her eyes went wide, "I would advise you never to go down there again, only dark wizards go down there, now and then the odd Slytherin student, that is how most the shops survive down there actually, dark wizards." She replied shrugging her shoulders, she had never really thought about it though, until now.
Ah, a fellow hufflepuff, but a fifth year ay? After that she realized he wasn't from any were around here, so it made it clear why he had gotten lost earlier. "Shanice Abercrombie, sixth year, hufflepuff, along with Prefect." She replied moving her hip to one side slightly.

"Thank you again!" He said still smiling with a smile that reached to his ears. He knew that without her, then he would not be where he stood now. "There must be some way I can repay you" He said he raised his eye brow at the mention of prefect. " So the prefect is like the Student Representative committee or Council?" He asked as he nodded his head slightly as what Shanice had said.
"Don't worry I will never go down there anymore." He said taking a slight glimpse of the darkness that faded into a nothingness of just darkness in an abyss. " Hey you think me and you can go out for lunch some day? as a way of paying you back. My shout." He said with a smile on his face hiding the fact that he was bisexual. "What say you?" He asked with a smile on his face and crystal blue eyes.

dear lord, what do they do down where he is from?! Of course she had a warm feeling inside of her from were she had helped someone out of trouble. She shook her head, her blond hair following her every move. "Forget about it!" She exclaimed giving him a warm smile.
Knockturn alley was a gruesome place after all, it was the best she could do for someone, especially a fellow hufflepuff. She looked down the alley for a moment. It was hard to see if there was anyone down there, watching you, most wizards would wear dark robes to hide themselves. So, it always felt like someone was watching you.
She shrugged her shoulders, "I guess that could be alright, as long as you don't get lost again." She said smirking a bit, Shanice wouldn't always be around to help him. "Ah, a prefect is like a house Representative, i usually have to help my house, and in emergencies i go back to the dorm with them." She replied to him.

" All right that's cool. How about we meet at Hogsmede and have lunch their?" He said as he put on a soft smile on his face. Lorenzo laughed slightly as his misfortune in knockturn ally. " Don't worry I won't be! Not anymore at least. Well I hope. You just never know right?" He said as he shrugged his shoulders and bit his lip slightly. " So that's the job or prefects? Seems fun. Back in Oz all we had to do was have meetings and organized events and that's pretty much it. None of this emergency stuff. Ranks weren't that high to be honest.'' He said as he once again shrugged. Things had suddenly gone silent for a few seconds. These few seconds seemed to have gone for a while. It felt like 3 months rather then seconds. " So umm.." He said as things started to get awkward. " I have to go now.. Thanks again for helping the lost boy and I shall see you soon." He said as he smiled and slowly walked away. He was only a few steps away when he paused and turned around. " Oh and, Your welcome to escort me back to the your dorm anytime " he said winking his right eye with a smile and walked away.
