August 28th
I bit my lip and let out a small groan, as I held my head. I had the worst headache I've had since I was in highschool having to deal with annoying students. I sat up slowly and opened my eyes. My vision was still a little blurry but slowly as everything came into focus, my eyes widened in surprise as the surroundings around me were not familiar to me. I closed my eyes again, really tightly and held my breath until i couldn't bare it. Gasping for air, I opened my eyes but I was still where I was before holding my breath. "Todo, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore," I stood up slowly and leaned up against a desk, trying to decide what to do. This place looked familiar but I couldn't quite place my finger on what it was, that made this place feel familiar.
Slowly I walked through what I assumed was a classroom. Perhaps I was dumped into a country that was still in the third world. I kept my teeth on my lower lip, an old habit I'd had since I was little. I only did it when I was nervous and unsure of things. Everything looked so old and worn. Also the extreme lack of electronics was alarming. Haha, get it cause they don't have an alarm, and it's alarming. Haha I'm too funny. I couldn't help the small laugh that escaped my lips as I looked at the walls more closely. There were no light fixtures or computers or well ANYTHING. As I made it to the door, I stopped and just stared at it. It looked handmade with cast iron hinges and bolts. The kind you only saw in really old scary movies, I bet it even creaks like a scary movie door does.
"Well, I can almost guarantee we aren't in Texas anymore, let alone the United States." I pushed the door open and hesitantly walked into the hallway. The door let out a loud creak and I couldn't help but to look behind me, feeling as though I was in a horror film, but it was day time so for the moment I assumed I was safe. The hallway had huge archways and there was an open courtyard only 7 feet from where I stood. I started to walk around and assumed I was in a castle. That's why it looked so familiar. I enjoyed watching documentaries about things like castle, sadly it didn't' tell me where I was in the world, just I was a far far far away from home. Maybe I'm dreaming, did I fall asleep watching the history channel? Yea that had to be the answer. I was dreaming that I was in 20th century castle. I walked close to the wall letting my hand run across the uneven rock bricks as I tried to discover where I was.
"Well I hope they aren't as annoying as they were last year," A male voice spoke from down a corridor. I froze and and glanced around a corner trying to see who had spoken. It was the first time I had heard anyone in the entire place. As I waited, my whole body went ridged as what looked like two ghosts were just floating around, having a conversation as if it was just like any other day.
"I'm going fucking crazy. I'm on shrooms or acid or I don't know," My voice sounded hysterical as my hands moved to cover my mouth to try and keep anyone from hearing me. I was trying my hardest not to start freaking out. That that it worked just that I was trying. I could feel my heart racing as I tried to figure out what the hell was going on. After a few minutes still with no answer, I had to forced myself to calm down to try and be logical about this situation.
"Who are you and why are you hiding over here?" My head whipped around and I saw a little humanoid like creature talking to me in an annoyed tone. What the hell is that, my thoughts wandered as my eyes widened in disbelief. I took a few steps back and the creature matched my steps with its own tiny ones, "No students are allowed here yet, you're in big trouble Miss. What's your name and house?" With a few more steps backwards, I turned on my heel and made a run for it, taking sharp corners trying to push everything I had just seen out of my head. I'm going fucking crazy, I'm in a hospital somewhere high on drugs. That is the only logical answer to this situation. Fuck Todo, I just want to go back to normal. Oh God What-
Taking another sharp corner, I ran full force into someone and we both went flying across the floor. Luckily I had tried to turn when I collided, so I ended up a good 7 feet from the person i ran into, instead of on top of them. I let out a painful groan as I looked at what I ran into. He was in full black robes with a black cloak over that. What the hell is this person a vampire or something? I thought but then thought better then to think ill of something that, could infact be a vampire. If he hadn't looked up to see me I would have just assumed he was a pile of robes.
"What is a bloody student doing here," He said as he started to get up. I got back on my feet and bolted again. THAT WAS FUCKING SEVERUS SNAPE FROM HARRY POTTER. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH ME. I tried to turn a corner but I felt my body get hit with something and I was now levitating off the floor. I felt the panic rise in me as I let out a small whimper trying to free myself from whatever held me in the air.
"Who ever you are, you are going to have detention for the entire year and your house will be in the negative by 50 points." Snape had walked over to where I was with his books levitating behind him, following silently. "Now what is your name and house," He glared at me with black eyes as he waited for me to respond. Though he didn't quite look like the actor that portrayed Snape in the movies, he was similar enough for me to know who he was. He looked a lot younger than he looked in the movies, but it was Severus Snape without a doubt. "Answer me now or it will be 70 points" He was starting to get annoyed with me the longer I just stared at him.
"My name is Tamara Chizmar and I'm pretty sure I'm a muggle." As I uttered those words I could feel myself finally agreeing that i was fucking bonkers. I just said I was a muggle to a Wizard. HOW WOULD A MUGGLE KNOW THEY ARE A MUGGLE UNLESS THEY ARE A WIZARD! UGH. My mind panicked as I saw Snape hesitated for a moment.
"Well Miss Chizmar, that isn't a funny joke nor is it gonna get you out of the points that your house will lose. We are going straight to Dumbledore and you can ask him why you should not be expelled" He dropped me out of the bubble that I had been levitating in and started walking expecting me to follow. I made no effort to follow him and looked to back to the corridor thinking of making a run for it. Take my chance with the crazy imagination or run and try and figure this out on my own. With one last glance at him and him still walking, paying no heed to whether I was following. I thought about it and took a couple slow steps back and bolted the other way.
"I might be crazy but I ain't falling for any hallucinations," I spoke to myself as I made my way through what I assumed was Hogwarts. I tried to figure out where I was but honestly I didn't read/watch the movies and books as religiously as some of my friends , I tried to figure out what year it was by how Hogwarts looked. It had to be to be in the early years because it looked relaxed and well Snape was still alive…
I was mid stride when something painful hit my back and I was on the floor unable to move and in pain. I bit my lip trying to hold back the tears that were threatening to spill out. The pain faded as Snape walked up to me, "I guess you aren't a student. How did you get in here?" He used a spell to bring me up to his level.
"I don't know how I got here. I just woke up in a classroom…" I avoided his glare as he tried to figure what to do with the me.
I sat in a chair with invisible chains keeping me in place as the bat like professor spoke to Dumbledore in hushed tones. I could still feel my heart trying escape my chest as I looked around the office to try and keep my mind at bay. It looked similar to the movies but not quite the same. It was more natural and magical than what the movies made it out to be. There was almost an occult feeling to it but in a good way.
"Miss Chizmar, is that your real name or did you only use it to give your words more credit?" Dumbledore spoke kindly but with strict tone as he watched me, to see if whatever came out of my mouth next was the truth.
"I don't know how my name would hold any merit but that is my name," This was starting to get really confusing, why would they think I was using an alias? Was there something special with my name? There couldn't be I mean, I wasn't even from this world. I was more then likely not even born yet.
Dumbledore examined me a few moments after I spoke and I had to avert my eyes as he had a very intense stare that felt like my soul was being prodded. He soon walked away from me and to his desk where he picked up his wand. "If you wouldn't mind holding still," As he spoke he walked up to me and took hold of my arm. He didn't wait for my responds as he put his wand to my to my wrist and said some words under his breath. As a color spread through my veins. A pure white glow emanated from my veins as it traveled up my arm. I watched in awe as this small display of magic that was real.
"Oh My God, this shit is getting real." I was ignored as he removed his wand and the glow faded.
"Well your blood is pure, with plenty of magic infused in you. You said you were a muggle to Professor Snape?" He looked at me like I had lied to him.
"Uhhhh, I've never used magic in my entire life. I'm pretty sure you're full of it. This world doesn't exist. All this is a book. Made up. I mean I pretty sure I'm in a mental hospital dreaming up all of this. I'm not even british if you haven't noticed my now. I'm from fucking Texas and I've never even left the state. I have no idea how I fucking got here and I'm pretty sure we are in a year where I haven't even been born yet. And it's supposed to be 2015." I wasn't sure how much of that they caught because I was talking so quickly. Letting my head fall back, I stopped and caught my breath as they were letting the information that I had just told them process.
"A book?" Dumbledore started as he leaned against his huge desk. Snape hadn't said anything as he stood there in his black cloak just observing.
"Yea, its about Harry and his life here at school, fighting Lord Voldemort." As I spoke his name they both gave a cringe.
"Harry Potter is the star of the this book? Figures." Snape said this disdain as he shifted his arm which held his second worse mistake he had ever made.
"Miss Chizmar, this story is very… Interesting but how do we know this to be true and you aren't just making up stories?" Dumbledore asked as he watched Snape shift his arm after his comment about Harry.
"Well I know that Snape was in love with Lily Potter and was the first person to find her alive and you well… He also pushed her away by calling her a mudblood. Oh, and you aren't as straight as everyone thinks? I don't know to say it with out giving you up. I could go on but yea…" I nibbled my lip, and waited for their response. They both looked at each other then back at me.
I held up as if to say I surrender as I spoke,"I don't want anything to do with this, I just wanna go home and forget I was here." As I spoke those words they started to sink in. I was in a completely different universe to the one that I lived in. Or I fucking bonkers and I was stuck here till my mind decided I wasn't completely insane. Personally I prefered trapped in my mind option, because at least I knew I wasn't in a different universe and had some REAL hope of returning to the way things were before the shit hit the fan. What if I was stuck here for the rest of my more then likely short life. I lowered my gaze and waited to see what they decided my fate would be.
"How many books are in this series?" Dumbledore asked while I pondered my life existence.
"What does that matter? She more than likely trying to cover up being with He Who Should Not Be Name." Snape quipped, but Dumbledore just ignore him and waited for me response.
"7 I think?" I tried to mentally keep track of the names in my head.
"So you know the future of this world?" He asked very carefully as now Snape realized what he was getting at. If everything I said was true that would mean for the next 7 years I knew exactly what's gonna happen in this world.
"Well I mean I guess but I don't wanna effect anything I just wanna go home, or not be fucking crazy," I had a bad feeling about what Dumbledore were getting at. They were gonna ask me about everything. How did I get myself into this.
"I'm assuming horrible things happen to people in the next 7 years? You'd rather watch people suffer knowing you could have stopped it?" Dumbledore was trying to turn this around on me. Like I was just as much at fault for what was about to happen as Lord Voldemort.
"Well no, I mean yes. UGH" I covered my face with my hands trying to figure out how to say it. "If I change things then that would make the future which means I won't know what is about to happen which means the good might not win in the end, which means Lord Voldemort would win and everything would be fucked and then it would all be my fault cause I fucked over the world by trying to change things. And to be perfectly honest, I couldn't live with myself if I did that, and honestly I doubt I'd even be alive in 7 years if I did helped yall, and I'm fcuking horrifed ot dieing so I certainly don't wanna die in the next 7 years. Which all equal outs to doing nothing except to try and get home in one piece. Or to wake up from this nightmare" I realized I was talking rather quickly and had gotten louder as I spoke. Stopping, I tried to calm my breathing as I mentally calmed myself down.
"Doesn't that make sense? To keep everything the same and have Harry and the gang win in the end, rather than trying to save everyone and dooming the entire world. I mean the greater good of the many trumps the good of the few? I mean if Harry did lose then their lives would suck ass anyway… But I guess they'd be alive… Maybe." The last part was more to myself then to them.
Dumbledore seemed to think about what I said as he walked behind his desk and began to write something on a piece of parchment. "Well what we do we can talk about later but for now you need to be protected. If people knew what you knew, Voldemort's people would more then likely seek you out and torture you for information to help them win the war. That is, if there is a war." He looked up from his glasses and then to Snape.
"No," Snape spoke as if there had been a question asked. "I will not babysit a wizard that doesn't know how to use magic. She's basically is a muggle," He glared at me as he spoke as to the headmaster. Ouch you could have said that in a less Dickish way, you Dick. I glared back at him.
"Hey I'm in the fucking room, ya'll don't have to talk as if I'm not here, or that I'm a 5 year old." I was ignored.
"Well I am going to send a letter to see something and you will not be baby sitting. Once school starts she'll be put into classes and to be a student here. That's the safest option we have to keep her presents unknown to you know who. We can teach her magic to help her protect herself. Because at the moment she can't protect herself let alone her mind. Anyone that felt she knew more then she let on to, could easily just peer into her thoughts. For now, since it won't be till tomorrow till I can confirm something, I'd like you just to keep an eye on her as she stays in one of the extra bedrooms" He had continued his writing as he spoke.
"Wait you want me to attend Hogwarts? As a student?! I'm 25 I couldn't even pass as a 7th year."As I said this I realized that Snape thought I had been a student. I don't fucking look a teenager you twat. I glared at Snape as Dumbledore stopped writing and let out a small sigh remembering that I hadn't grown up in a magic world so I wasn't used to the impossible. He waved his wand over a small ornate ring that had just been laying on his desk and stood and walked over to me with it in hand.
"If you are to attend classes here, this will make you look like a 3rd year so you can pass as normal student that transferred from America." He put the ring in my hand and continued back to his desk.
I looked at the ring in my hand and turned it over a few times. I put in on my middle finger on my left hand and waited. I didn't really feel different. However glancing into a mirror my eyes went big, well bigger seeing as I looked young again. I pulled at my cheeks and hair as I tried to figure out if this was real. I even looked down my shirt. I had normal amounts of boobage but now they were tinier. I wish he had made me a 1st year so I didn't have to wear a bra. I giggled to myself as that thought passed through my mind and kept looking in the mirror. My hair was still its short pixie style that it was when I looked 25 but my face was so cute looking? My eyes were so big and my high cheek bones really made the phrase 'cute as a chipmunk' come into mind. I giggled again this time noticing my voice was softer and a little more high pitched.
"Well this is interesting, is this what I sounded like when i was 14?!" I turned around in circles as I looked at myself, a self I hadn't seen in 10 years. I hadn't noticed that Snape and Dumbledore started whispering to each other while I was admiring myself. I was more than happily looking at my 14 year old self that I barely heard the throat clearing. I turned my attention back to the men in the room. They seemed taller now? I waited for them to talk as I glanced back to the mirror.
"Until I find out something, you will be staying in a room near the faculty room. Hogwarts is safe just keep the ring on and you will be allowed to roam. Please try to keep out of trouble until we decide what we will do with you and your information." I blinked unsure if that was a threat or not. I walked out of the office and began my adventure at Hogwarts… Oh boy what have I gotten myself into? I didn't even really like the books and movies that much. Why couldn't I have been dropped into a different book or movie I enjoyed. Like Hunger Games or Divergent. Well now that I think about it, I'm more likely to die in both those then I am in here. At Least for the first year. Maybe I should just bail out and try and be muggle. I know how to do that. I sighed and walked the courtyard.
"This is gonna be a long couple years if I can't get home," I spoke softly as the sky took pity on me and let small rain drops hide the tears that had started to well in the corners of my eyes.
