The cool wind brushed against her pale face making small tears come to the corner of her eyes, she quickly brushed them away and kept truding through the knee deep snow, her small hands trembled as she tried despretly to keep out the cold. Her large brown eyes travelled across the barrain terrian hoping to see some landmark telling her where she was, nothing but white snow glared back at her, a sigh excaped her thin lips and she determindly kept on telling herself that at some point she just had to come across something that would save her. The hours dragged on as the lonely figure walked across the snow her steps slowing down until it was a mere crawl,

"Just a little further..." she muttered to herself her teeth chattering together, she dug her hands into her thin jacket before she triped and fell hard against the ground, a groan excaped her lips and for a moment she didn't move, she hadn't wanted to, her breath came out in short gasps as she lifted herself out of the snow and quickly brushed the ice cold snow off her face and hands. Shivering more profusley now she hurried her steps hoping to get some where before the light of the day left her. Once again she lifted her eyes off the white snow and glanced at her surrondings she sighed expectently at seeing nothing and was about to look back down in front of her but something caught her eye. She stopped staring at the figure that just seemed to appear right in front of her, her eyes widened at the mere mass of this man and she took a step back her eyes betraying her fear. He had a long bushy beard that covered most of his face but two beady brow neyes stuck out, his think brown coat seemed to cover his huge mucsles, a gasp excaped her as she stuck out his hand, she stared at them, they were as big as sasucepans, she took another step back.

"I ain't goin to hurt ya little miss, just got sent out here to help ya out of this mess ya got yurself in." he boomed gently, "just hang on to my arm like so and you'll be alright." uncertainly she grasped his huge arm and before she could collect another thought the two of them went spinning.

She staggered to the ground letting go of his arm she huddled on the ground, her body shivering violently, "Its alright now, jus' follow me now, we'll get you all fix'd up." She didn't move, "come on now, less you want to freeze." He called to once he noticed she hadn't followed him,

"Who... who are you?" She stuttered,

"Rubeus Hagrid, but most folks call me Hagrid. Now come on they're expecting ya," She made her decision, maybe it was the kindness she saw in his eyes or the gentlyness and care in which he spoke it made her feel comforted, she quickly scampered off the ground and followed the giant through an open door.

"Hagrid, good to see you've broght her all in, in once peice," An elderly man stated, the girl looked around there was about 2 other men and a women sitting around a table all of which were staring at her, she smiled weakly trying to show that she wasn't the least bit scared, "Now on to buisness, Miss, can you tell us why you were out today?" She gave him a look of puzzlement, wondering why it mattered to this stranger. She didn't say anything, she didn't trust him, his blue eyes seemed to sear into her own and it made her uncomfortable. The table waited for her answer, she stared defienly back,

"Your not 'elping your case any missy if you refuse to answer them, you got them right mad at your little adventrue." The mad called Hagrid whispered quitly to her so the other wouldn't hear.

"What case? As i know i don't know any of you people, and i will not indulge why i was out there if there was a reason, which there wasn't, i just had gotten lost." She hissed harshly, the table of people looked at her gravely and exchanged glances with each other.

"Tell me, what is your name?" The woman asked her directly,

"I know my own name, and its only for me to know!" She said after some hesitation, but her eyes held confusement,

"I think we must Albus," the woman said resignly, "we wont konw if she's telling the truth or not if we don't," the older man nodded and motioned for a middled aged man,

"What are you going to do to me?" She asked her voice quivering slightly as she shabby middle aged man started toward her with a vile of something in his hand, "NO!" she yelped and dodged from his grasp, "leave me be, i haven't done nothing to you."

"I'm very sorry, but i'm afraid i must." the man said with sincere remorse in his voice, a small tear escaped her eyes as he forced the stuff down her throut. she caughed as he finished, she staggered backword giving the room a glare.

"Now i ask you again, what is your name?" the woman asked,

"I... I don't know..." She whispered looking down at the ground. Hagrid gave her a look of sympathy,

"Can you tell us why you were outside today?"

"I don't know why." she answered quietly, her voice wavered she didn't remove ehr eyes from the ground,

"What is the last thing you remember?" The woman pressed, the girl thought for a while,

"Waking up in a blizzard." She muttered,

"Come again? i could not hear you."

"I said waking up in a blizzard yesturday." She said louder, this time meeting the womans eyes. The woman glanced at her fellow "table people"

"So you don't remember anything else?"

"I told you i didn't." She girl spat angrily, "Are you done your interigation becuase there isn't anything i know that could help you, i don't even know who i am!"

"Yes we are done." the middle aged man said, the woman gave the man a sharp galre, "she'd right Minerva, she doesn't even know who she is, she wouldn't be able to help us find Hermione."

"But Lupin she was also a prisoner with Hermione, she has to know something!" Minerva pleaded, The man shook his head sadely, and montioned for Hagrid take the girl away. The girl followed behind the giant, she reached up and pulled on a long pieace of her brown hair before throwing it back behind her ears.
