(I want this RP to be romance. Due to the circumstances our characters are going to go through, romance won't be the main genre. Hope you enjoy 
Run! Her mind screamed at her as another curse was thrown her way. She dodge it and threw herself down the stairs.
"You can't run forever,Zeal." Yaxley called from somewhere upstairs. Artemis Zeal bit back a scream as she tried lifting her right leg. Her ankle was broken. Great, she thought sarcastically, Now how am I going to get out of here?
"Come now,puppet. You mustn't keep me waiting. Be a good little girl and come to me. I promise I won't hurt you." The deatheater coaxed. Artemis snorted. How stupid did he think she was? The brunette slowly crawled her way towards the front door,mindful of the creaking noises the floor makes.
"Ah! There you are Puppet!" Yaxley exclaimed from the stairs. Artemis cursed. He shot a curse at her,but thankfully she manage to roll out of the way. She jumped up,nearly toppling over in pain as her injured foot touch the ground, and threw the door open. She tore her way down the gravel steps and into the bustling crowd.
Before she got too far,she turned her head to catch a last glimpse of her sanctuary -for a year now-,but like always,it disappeared from view. Grimmauld's Place had been found out. Swallowing a large lump that had formed in her throat,Artemis forced herself to keep walking. To safety.
After what felt like hours,Artemis had finally stopped walking. She looked around her in confusion. Where was she? The stores were boarded up,fliers were littering the streets and sidewalks,a sporadic breeze stirring them into a new location.
She shivered. She had forgotten to bring her gray trench coat with her,but due to the attack, she had been left with no choice but to stay in her flimsy nightgown and no shoes! Artemis turned left and entered a dark alley. Leaning against the wall, Artemis took this opportunity to think over what had just happen.
Yaxley,a well known deatheater among the order,had just burst into Grimmauld's place when she was just waking up from her nap. That meant...
Harry,Hermione,and Ron had failed, Artemis thought,blinking back tears. She remembered the first time she came into Grimmauld's place after months of running....
"Who's there?" demanded a boy with messy black hair and emerald green eyes, a scar shaped like a lighting bolt on his forehead. His two best friends were right behind him,pointing their wands at the intruder.
"Show yourself." demanded Harry Potter. A girl, who looked only a few years older than them, stepped out of the shadows. She had large doe-like eyes that were tired from lack of sleep, her chocolate brown hair was tied up in a messy ponytail.
"I'm Artemis Zeal, a member of the order of the phoenix and of the old D.A." The intruder said. Hermione Granger immediately put down her wand,but the boys still had their wands raised.
"How do we know if it's really you?" Harry asked, suspicion clearly written on his face. Artemis smiled slightly,but made no move to step closer.
"Back in my sixth year,which was your fourth year, I had a brief affair with George Wealey,Ron Weasley's brother. I spend that summer at the Burrows and shared a room with the girls." The blue-eyed witch stated calmly. Soon all of their wands were put away and they all ran to greet her.
"What are you doing here? Where have you been? We haven't see you since the Death of Dumbledore!" Artemis raised a hand to silence them.
"Come,I'll answer all your question,but maybe we should move out of the hallway and into the living room,eh?" She asked,leading them towards the familiar room. After getting a cup of tea and some chocolate biscuit in her system, Artemis began to speak.
"I've been running. I haven't exactly been in the deatheater's good graces and me being a half-blood isn't a good thing either. So my family and I have split up. Where have I been? All over. Everywhere and anywhere,just to get away from them. I finally thought of coming here. Wish I thought of it sooner." She leaned back against the love seat. Silence reigned for a moment,before Artemis decided to speak again.
"Before I came here, I ran in into a couple of snatchers. I barely made it out of there alive. It was five to one,you see." She explained as she saw the incredulous look on Ron and Harry's faces. "But even though I came out barely injured, they snapped my wand." Artemis gazed at her empty left hand.
"I'm wandless now."
Snap!
Artemis whirled around to face whatever made that noise, when suddenly an arm was wrapped around her waist and the other hand was place against her mouth.
"Well nice to see you again,Puppet." Yaxley whispered in her ear. A pang of fear traveled down her spine.
"I think It'll do you good to take you to Malfoy Manor. I'm sure they'll take good care of you."
Before Yaxley could apparate them to that dreaded destination, Artemis kneed him in the stomach, making him bowl over in pain. Artemis took this chance to make a run for it. She barely made it through the alley when a stunner hit her,square in the back.
Bugger,She thought faintly,before darkness overpowered her.
Anyone willing to join? pwease?
