Ten years later:

The child Evangeline sat in the tree in the back garden of the orphanage she lived at. At this moment in time she was in a deep conversation with the tree about the prose and cons, of housing birds. Evangeline, thought it was a marvelous thing for she greatly enjoyed playing with the birds. However, the surly old maple tree didn't like the constant twittering of the chicks or the bird droppings on his bark.

It was at this point that Evangeline's good friend Celia came outside. Celia walked over to Evangeline and looked up in the tree, "Evie there is a man inside who wants to talk to you." Celia then greeted the birds in the tree, and began to ask them how their day had gone.

At night Evangeline would travel to middle earth in her dreams, and during her time there she had found a family of sorts. Her family was spread out in middle earth but she could easily travel to them with just a thought and some desire to see them. The man she considered her father Lord Elrond saw to her education, along with a few other mentors such as Radagast the Brown, Gandalf the Grey, and Lady Galadriel. It was Radagast who had taught her how to talk to the animals, and Galadriel who taught her to talk to the plants.

Eva, then of course passed her knowledge to her best friend, Celia. Celia, could talk to the animals, but lacked the ability to talk to the trees, though she made sure to always be polite to them. Celia also knew elvish, and her and Eva used it as a private language to talk to each other. This drove the matron of the orphanage mad, she would yell at them to stop gabbing in utter nonsense. The matron had thought it was cute when the girls were six but now that they were getting older it just seemed plain odd. Celia and Eva were well aware that most found the language odd, and thought that they were crazy for talking to animals, but neither of them cared. Though they had learned it was better to keep such things between the two of them.

Eva walked into the matrons office, and found the old buzzard (as she liked to call the matron) and a man who was quite a curious site. He was tall, had shoulder length greasy black hair, a large hooked nose that she thought would belong on a dwarf. But it was what he was wearing that was most odd. He had on black slacks a shirt and a vest that buttoned all the way up to his throat and then a long coat, his garb she thought looked like it belong in the 1800's and not in today's fashions of jeans and t shirts. Eva stared at the man and the man stared back neither said a word, until the man said, "may I talk to Ms. Grey privately. I would like to ask her some questions." The matron nodded and left closing the office door behind her. Eva continued to examine the man, and he her.

As Eva stared at him she could sense he held a lot of sorrow, more than most felt in a lifetime, and guilt, and hatred. A lot of hatred, but she couldn't tell if it was of himself or others. But as she stared at him tears leaked out of his eyes she wanted to ease his pain. She then took a closer look at him and saw he had magic, but not magic like the elves or wizards, it was different. And as she felt the light and dark magic in him, she reached out and took his had. She looked up at him and another set of large tears leaked out of her violet eyes, "I'm sorry for your sorrow, but hating your self and others is not the answer." The man stared at her like she had two heads, Eva could feel the dark magic swirling inside the man and so she continued, "please do not let the darkness take you, it will only bring you more pain."

The man stared at her for a moment longer and then glanced down at her hand holding his, and ripped it away while stepping back. He made a quick turn that made his jacket flutter and walked over to the fireplace. Eva sighed; she didn't mean to upset him. She just wanted to help him. She watched him stare at the fireplace. Yep, she thought she'd upset him. Probably creped out yet another person, Eva bit her lip. Nana Galadriel said she needed more tact with confronting people about their problems.

The man finally spoke, "my name is Professor Snape." He then reached into a pocket and pulled out a parchment envelope and handed it to Eva. Eva took the envelope and turned it over to break the wax seal and she noted the coat of arms and opened the letter.

She began to read the letter, which stated she was invited to a school called Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She gave a small smile; she would have to tell Gandalf and Radagast this. She then read what she needed for the school, and she read that someone would help her get her things. She looked up at Snape and asked so are you the one who will take me to get my stuff?"

Snape looked at the girl, in surprise, "you don't have any questions about magic."

Eva gave a slightly bigger smile and said, "of course I have questions your the first wizard. That's what you call your self?" She asked. And Snape nodded. "That I've met here, though you quite different from the Wizards I know."

Snape raised an eyebrow, "and what wizards do you know?"

Eva bit her lip wondering if she should tell him about Gandalf. No one from earth had ever gone to middle earth but maybe since he could do magic he would believe her. She said, "well I know a wizard name Gandalf the Grey I call him uncle Gandalf or Uncle Dril cuz when I was little I couldn't say Mithrandir and so I shortened it."

Snape raised an eyebrow, "I was under the impression that you are a muggleborn who has no family."

Eva put her hands on her hips, "I have a family their just not here and Gandalf isn't my uncle by blood. I just call him that cuz we share a common last name, and cuz he helped raise me."

He asked, "and how do you know Gandalf?"

Evangeline said, "he's friends with my da, and I like to wander with him."

He raised an eyebrow, "wonder?"

Eva nodded, "he the wandering wizard he goes all over middle earth."

Snape furrowed his eyebrows, "what do you mean middle earth?"

Eva shrugged, "it's a place I go in my sleep."

Snape then said snidely, "oh so he's not real." He then turned to the door and said, "Tomorrow someone will pick you up and take you to get your school supplies. They will be here at eight am." He then nodded at her and left. Leaving Eva standing in the middle of the office. Eva signed, he didn't believe in middle earth either. She then went to find Celia and tell her about this Hogwarts School.
