Shock
When I next awoke I was lying on a bed I judged to be about queen size.
"Rose, are you ok?" I looked up and all the memories came flashing back. The coffee shop, Blaise, the eyes. The person who those eyes belonged to had asked me the question. Slowly I sat up, holding my head as I had a major headache.
"How do you know my name?" I asked him. I didn't know why but I felt I was in no immediate danger with this man. The man had blonde hair, which was cut short but his fringe fell into his eyes, and his eyes were a stormy grey colour. I could not understand why but his face was so familiar to me, had I met him before?
"I have to explain something to you, something which may be hard for you to understand. Please listen to me and try not to be scared and run away"
"I'm not sure if I am able to promise that" I replied, starting to worry a bit.
"I do not know how to tell you this properly, so I will just say it outright. My name is Draco and we were in love, we were together, two years ago" I looked at him like he was crazy,
"What are you talking about? I've never even met you before! Please let me go home" I went to stand but Draco laid a gentle but firm hand on my arm,
"Please let me finish" Draco then brought out a picture frame. I looked at it to see a picture of Draco and I, playing in the snow. The only thing was, we weren't standing still. We were moving! I felt a sharp pain in my head and my headache doubled and I had to lie down, trying not to let any tears fall. Not in front of this weird guy, not here.
"I was worried this would happen" I heard him mumble, "Rose, are you ok?" It took a couple of minutes for the pain to subside, but there was still a dull pounding.
"Why are those pictures moving? And where did you get my picture? Is this some kind of new technology?" I asked, staring at the photo, or film. I don't know how he did it, but it looked extremely real, and I couldn't remember ever having my hair short and curly.
"This is a magical photo, Rose. You were a witch, Rose, you still are a witch in fact" Again the headache got worse, and again the darkness enveloped me.
I was sitting outside in the garden, playing on the swing when Mum came out to me with a strange looking letter in her hand.
"Rose! I have some great news! Weird news, but great nonetheless! Come inside! Your father and I want to talk to you" I followed Mum back into the kitchen, where Dad was already sitting with a wide smile on his face,
"You've been accepted into Hogwarts" He beamed. I looked at him confused,
"What is Hogwarts? Is it a club? Did I apply for a club?" I tried think of any clubs I had applied for recently but couldn't come up with any.
"No silly, it's a school" Mum replied, then looked as if she had been waiting forever to say what she was about to say, "It's a school for witches and wizards. You're a witch, Rose"
I do not know how long I had passed out for but Draco was still by my side when I awoke.
"Rose, oh thank god. I think I'm pushing you too much. I just wanted to-"
"Hogwarts" I said, looking up at him, confused. The dream I just had did not seem like a dream now that I had woken up, but instead a memory. A memory of being accepted into Hogwarts.
"Yes. Did you just dream that?" I nodded as I tried to make sense of why my dream felt more like a memory. I must be going crazy, that must be it, or maybe this is just one weird dream. That had to be it, because there is no way this was real. "It feels like a memory now doesn't it?" I looked up at him, strange, how did he know? "The spell is wearing off"
"Spell? What are you talking about?"
"I'm not sure if now is the right time to tell you, Rose. I know this may sound crazy to you, but would you be able to stay here for just one week? After that one week, if you want to go home then you may"
"Are you crazy?" I jumped off the bed, and started backing away from him, "I have no idea where I am, who you are, why I'm here and you want to keep me like that for a week? You are crazy!" I turned to make a run for the door but somehow my legs froze up and I fell over. I looked over to Draco to see he had pullen out a wand. No, a piece of wood. There were no such things as wands.
"I'm sorry, Rose, please stay here. Just one week, and I will explain everything in that one week but now I can not" I tried ungluing my legs but found they were sealed together, and no matter what I did I could not unstick them.
"Why can't you explain it now?"
"If I explain it all now then you will not just pass out, you will slip into a coma"
"You really are crazy!"
"I can explain one thing to you now and that is why your legs are glued together. I used a spell. Would you like to see more magic?"
"Magic does not exist" Draco ignored me before he said a word and the curtains closed.
"That could be a trick, easy enough" I replied, sceptical.
"Then would you like me to do something to you?"
"Yes, then I will know for sure if you used a trick"
"Very well. I am sorry but-" He said another word before I felt a weird sensation on my face and when he handed me a mirror I saw a whole bunch of pimples spelling SEE? That can not be possible, can it? I touched my face to make sure it wasn't a trick of the mirror, and in fact felt the pimples.
I don't know why but I had a feeling that this stuff was real, that he was real, that maybe I did have to stay for the next week to find out what exactly this mysterious boy was hiding.
A/N: Thank you Shideh for your review, I know it is unclear in some parts as I normally forget that you guys can't see in my head _ I will try to make it more clear! Also any more constructive criticism is welcome!
