Y.N is one of the pickpockets in Diagon Alley. As an orphan who had ran away from the orphanage, being a pickpocket isn't really a problem at all. Plus Y.N is a very skilled pickpocket. Now is the time that Diagon Alley is full of people, near the reopening time of Hogwarts, it's easier to do your job. This is also your favorite time to work by far. So far, just in today, you have made 127  Galleons from 2 people and neither of them have time to notive that they have lost their money. 

You searched for a place to sit down and count your total progress you have made. Althogether, 346 and a quill. What could a quill could possibly be useful to you? But you felt the want to keep it. So, instead of throwing away, you kept it. Then, after putting the money back inside your pocket, you stood up to disappear from that place as soon as possible. But right then, you heart a man shouted at you.

" Hey, you insolent child. Stand where you are. You impudent, who stole my money." 

You looked at them and ran away. Not even bothered to check carefully who they were. Probably ones of those people you have stolden from . And in this job that you are doing, having to run away at sudden moment and unexpected time are all common. So, with no doubt, your trained feet quickly started doing their work. You jumped over shops and boxes on the street. Swerving to people and running away as fast as possible. And while doing all these escaping, you even got another 40 galleons and a shiny watch. You smiled crazily while running and put into your pocket quickly.

' These people are mad. ' You thought when a man threw a spell at you. Luckily you were safe but when you turned to the corner, you got hit by a Petrificus Totalus. You fell to the ground in front of a man on the lane between buildings. You were too terrified and started begging him with your palms pressed to each others. 

" Don't kill me, pls. I can give you your money back. Please just don't kill me. "

He stared down at you and stood still. So, you slowly looked up and saw him. He definitely couldn't be one of those mad people because he seemed so chill. You collected yourself back and slowly got up from the ground. 

" hello, sir. It's very nice-" 

Just before you could finish your sentence, you heard the footsteps louder and coming towards the lane. You quickly went back behind the man and got inside his cloak . Your eyes were shut tight and you were too close to him that he felt uncomfortable. But you didn't care because those people who were following you were more insane and would do anything to get you. Those people finally ran inside the lane and quickly headed towards another as they didn't see you. 

" They are gone now. " His voice gave you chills and you went out of his cloak slowly. Feeling the embarrasement, you adjusted your cap and stood in front of him timidly. 

" Umm, sir. Thank you for helping me out, I ... reallyappreciateit. "

Then, you decided to run away but he grabbed your wrist. He then cleared your throat.

" I am sure you have heard about Hogwarts. Do you want to maybe give up your current job? and want to start off something good at Hogwarts?  

You were startled at his offer and asked him back.

" But ............. What am I going to do there? "

" How old are you? "

" I am Y.age"

" Well, that's still pretty young. Do you want to study here? 

" I... I ..."

" Do you need to ask your parents? "

" I don't have parents to ask."

" Oh, sorry to hear but ...  if you don't have then, what is making you think? "

" umm, I guess yes, then. Actually, I want to but also I dont' feel certain."

" And what's your answer to my offer? "

" yes, I think  I want to. I think Yes." 

" very well. Now, do you have any place to stay before the school start ? "

" I will find a place, you don't really need to worry , sir? "

" Oh, I see. What about I offer you again with a place to stay? "

".........."

Your eyes were widden , don't have an answer to give.

' Why this stranger is being  so kind to you? Damn! Is he gonna make me as an ingredient for potions? Is he gonna kidnap me and take my money? Is he a bad guy? Who is he? Can I really trust him?  Should I give him galleons and run away from him? No, I must run. I must. ' But a voice interrupted all your thoughts.

" Look, My name is Severus Snape. I am a professor at Hogwarts. I am simply trying to help you because I can feel something magical and like a potential from you. A very strong well, strangely. " 

Your face lit up at his words. Noday has ever told something good about you and he was like a dream to you. 

" Do you have any more question now? "

" For now , no, not really. But I might have later. " 

" Well, they would be welcomed anytime.  Now, shall we go to a place for you to stay? "

You nodded and followed him. Smiling like a fool. But still a part of you with trust issues is telling you to be careful. But at the moment, you were feeling wonderful.
