Let the dreams begin:
Hermione found herself in the dark woods completely lost. Everytime her foot cracked a branch she would flinch and look around. Her hands have been cut up from the brush that she had to walk through and by the second she became more and more frightened. Hermione heard him coming from a mile away. She began to pick up her pace from a walk to a run and began to hyperventalate.
"Please, please, PLEASE!" She began to scream. "SOMEONE HELP!" She saw the shadow of the tall man gaining on her.
He was chuckling and saying, "You have no way out. I will always be there to kill you." And from that she began to sob and her watery eyes blurred her vision. The leaves blew out of the tall man's path as if everything was scared of him.
Suddenly, a root from the ground shot up and tangled around Hermione's leg, pulling her down. The tall man slowed his eerie run and walked over to the girl.
"My, my, my. What do we have here? It seems as though I have caught myself a new... prisoner. Eh? Well. Bellatrix is going to have an awfully good time with you so it seems. Oh, there there, dont be frightened, it will only hurt for a minute, CRUCI-"
All of the sudden a huge roar of a blue light came tumbling through the trees. The tall man looked at it and ran the other way. A doe appeared at Hermiones feet and stood protecting her. It looked down at her crushed leg that was strangled by a long tree root. The doe then pranced back through where it came from and Hermione was all alone again.
She tried to unravel the tree root from her leg but it was stuck on it. Hermione began to get scared, as if she would be stuck here for eternity.
As this thought fleeted in her head, a young man came out of the brush. He had long greesy hair and wore a long black cloak. As he came closer, she saw that his face was pale white and his nose had a large bump and looked crooked.
"Who are you?", the man said.
"My name is Hermione, sir, Hermione Granger." She said stumbling on her words.
"Well then, Hermione Granger, why would you be in the Forbidden Forest at night as a muggle?"
"A muggle?" She questioned, "What is that sir?"
He chuckled a dark laugh. "Why, it is a human. A non-magical human."
"What other kid of human would there be?" She questioned him from the cold forrest floor.
He stooped down to her level and appeared very close to her face. "Witches and wizards. Elves, Trolls and Goblins, though I wouldnt quite consider them human as much as I would creatures."
She laughed and said "Oh really? Witches and Wizards? Oh. come off it you old sod. Everyone knows that magic isnt re-" Her breathe caught on the last word as she looked at her leg. The once crushed leg was now released from the tree root.
He smirked and then told her to take a drink from a flask he gave her that had little skeleton bones over it. Hesitantly taking it, she took a swig of the most repulsive liquid she has ever tasted. She felt her leg heal and she looked down and was able to put some pressure on it. Hermione looked at the mysterious man and asked:
"What is your name?"
He said, "My name is Severus Snape. I am a professor at a school called Hogwarts thats for young witches and wizards. But since you are not one, I must say my goodbyes at this point." He said and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Hermione called out. "Where am I to go?"
"That is not my problem." He called out over his shoulder. She tried to run to him but her hurt leg gave out. He stopped and turned.
"Hold on to my arm." He said and she did just that. Everything then became a blur and they ended up in front of a huge castle. Hermione looked up to the castle and found it was exactly how she imagined it. Even better! She walked up to the gates and touched it as it opened for her.
"How odd..." She her Professor Snape mumble.
She walked up to the large entrance doors and they again opened for her. They opened to a large greeting hall where kids were flooding through. Some stopped to stare at the mysterious girl and others just pretended she was invisible. Snape grasped her arm lightly and guided her through multitudes of hallways and ended up at a circular staircase. Leading her up them he stopped at the door and was about to say the secret password but as Hermione lightly touched the door, it opened for her and let the two in.
"Maybe Dumbledore's door is broken.." Snape murmured.
"Who is Dumbledore?" Hermione asked.
"I am Dumbledore, and I have been waiting for your arrival Hermione Granger," the tall wizard said. He towered over the two and had a long white beard. His eyes had a slight twinkle in them. Hermione came forward extending her hand,
"It is nice to meet you Dumbledore." The old man smiled at the young girl and replied,
"And you Hermione. Now, did Severus take good care of you?"
"Oh yes sir, he fixed my leg sir." She said timidly.
"No need for the formal terms Hermione." His eyes sparkled and gleamed.
"Yes si- I mean Dumbledore." Her face began to turn a bright red and she began to look around the room. A large red bird sat perched in the corner looking at Hermione. It cawed at her and she smiled back. The bird flew over and landed on her shoulder cawing.
"Its seems as though he likes you." The old man chuckled as the bird spread its wings. Hermione lifted her hand to the birds head and stroked its soft feathers. All the sudden it went from a brilliant red to a deep purple, giving the bird a dark appearance. Then it turned to pure white. The bird looked down at itself and cawed. It flew off her shoulder and sat upon his masters hand that was reached out at the bird. After it departed from Hermione's shoulder it turned back to brilliant red again. Hermione then walked over to the books and saw multitudes of books and each was a different part of magic.
"I guess you might want to know what this place is?" Dumbledore trailed off...
