Nathan wandered idly down the highstreet of Hogsmeade, absently toying with something small and metallic in his pocket. It was probably a safety pin or something but that wasn't really important. He was hardly aware he was even turning it between his hands to start with. It was just that his pocket's were empty, even of his wand for once.
The street was nearly empty, people had already gone back to their homes, or back up to the shcool. The darkness was pretty well complete, so that only the outlines of objects were visible up and down the road. He half wished he had his wand so he could light the way, but he was half glad of the darkness. More privacy that way.
The occasional twitch of a curtain from the houses on either side of him was starting to become irritating, disrupting the complete darkness out there with the odd flicker of warm yellow light from inside so he turned off down an alley way. He knew this was probably a bad idea as the state of things with death eaters and all was pretty bad around here, but he hadn't done anything wrong, he didn't think. Anything to earn him any trouble with either side of the war, unless being a former Gryffindor was reason to be murdered nowadays, which he reflected it probably was. His family had been in trouble with Death Eaters, he knew that. Maddie and Charlie and probably Jack too, but still, he saw no reason to be overly cautious. So he didn't turn back around, just wandered absently down the alley, seeking somewhere darker where the privacy would be more complete.
