CHAPTER 2
What is that bloody noise? Ugh! My head hurts so bad, why can't I open my eyes? I could hear people talking, "Professor Dumbledore do you think she's going to be okay?" a voice asked which seemed really familiar. Professor Dumbledore? What kind of a name is that? "Yes Harry, Miss Williams will be fine and she will regain consciousness in a few minutes" a light and pleasant voice replied who I'm guessing is the professor. Wait did he say Harry? But how can he be here? He should be in his boarding school.
With great difficulty I managed to open my eyes a bit. I could see the blurry visions of two persons standing on my left side. When I started to blink, the blurriness kind of went away, "Harry?" I asked.
"Oh thank god you're ok Achelle!" he exclaimed smiling down at me. "What's going on? How come you're here? Shouldn't you be in boarding school right now Harry?" I glanced at the old man standing beside him who was smiling at me in an amused way. I also looked at my surroundings, it was a huge room with rows of single white beds on either side of it and there were shelves with different colored liquids in different jars. "Harry what is this place? It sort of looks like a hospital but again it doesn't" I said a bit confused. "Professor should I" he started asking the old man but the old man replied as if already knowing the question, "Yes Harry you should tell her everything. Its about time your cousin knows the truth, I'll talk to the teachers that you would not be able to show up for the rest of your classes" the old smiled and walked out through the huge wooden doors.
Harry let out a long sigh, "Ok Achelle I'm going to tell a secret now and I know you're going to think I'm joking at first but I am being completely serious ok?" I nodded at him wondering what's big dirty secret. Harry always tells me everything.
"I'm a wizard Achelle" he said. I looked at him as if his head was stuck in his arse, "I'm sorry did you just say that you're a wizard? Are you mental?" I asked still not believing my ears. "No I'm not and we are at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry right now. That man was Professor Dumbledore who is the headmaster here. I've been coming here to learn about magic since I was 11, when I found out that I'm a wizard. I never went to a stupid boarding school; it was just an excuse since I wasn't allowed to let anyone know what I am." "Wait didn't aunt Petunia and uncle Vernon know?" I interrupted.
"Yes well they knew but they didn't like it a bit but they always thought I was a disgrace like my mum so it doesn't matter" he finished coldly. "What do you mean like your mum Harry?" I asked putting my hand on his shoulder. "It's a long story, I've told you the main part of course. We can have a long chat later. Now I want you to tell me what happened last night. How come Draco Malfoy was at your house? Do you know him?" As Harry asked me this, all the incidents of last night came rushing back to me and the images of a certain hot blond. "No I don't know him. He came asking for help, he said his car broke down and it was raining so I let him stay for a bit. I made him hot chocolate then we went to the living room and the last thing I remember is a man with long blond hair bursting out of flames from the fire chimney. Then everything is kind of blank" I finished and saw that Harry had a blank expression on his face.
"Harry what happened last night? Who was that man and where is Draco?" I asked. He gave a small smile, "You should rest, you're still a bit weak. If madam Pomfrey sees that I'm making you talk so much she will throw a fit" he grinned. "Whose madam Pomfrey?" I asked confused. "She's the Healer of this Hospital Wing. Oh drink whatever she gives you ok? They will make you better. I'll see you later" he smiled and left.
As Harry walked through the corridors, he was trying to keep his temper at control. "Malfoy that bloody bastard! How dare he and his father try and kill her?" Harry was shouting in the empty corridor. Harry needed to talk to Dumbledore; he needed to know how they found out about her. He made his way to the stone gargoyle and said the password. The spiral stairs took him in front of the office, he pushed open the doors and burst in saying "Professor I need to-" he stopped in mid sentence as he saw Dumbledore talking to a certain blond he loathed very much. Draco Malfoy was standing in front of him with a smirk on his face.
