Home

When we landed, I am bit dizzy but nothing I couldn't handle, I looked down to focus on something which happened to be snow. Looking back up, there before me is my home, Hogwarts; in those walls so much has happened, made friends, lovers, even enemies. Through it all though that castle with its stone cold walls and chilling drafts felt more like home then the home of my childhood, I turn to Arginium he smiled at me his tea and teeth showing, but it was a genuine smile.

"Gone on child" I nudges me with the stump he has left for his right arm, I briefly look at that appendage and Arginium's story float back to me in a quick flash, a Death Eater caught him off guard as he was coming out of his house, they were trying to find out information on the Potters in the first war.

I shake my head to drives those thoughts out of my head. Without a word I walk through those gates. I run up the hill, not becoming as winded, mentally praising myself for the running I did for the years I was kept from the world. I finally make it to the two huge doors that open my past, I looked around nothing seemed to have really changed I smelt the feast starting but I wasn't going there instead I was to the Headmistress's office making my way up to the familiar corridors arriving at not a gargoyle but rather a cat in the sitting position, apparently McGonagall had changed some things to suit her taste. I gave the cat the password, Subla, the cat purrs and moves to the side. I climb the stairs and knock on the door of the office.

"Enter" calls my most feared teach of the past.

I open the door and see graying McGonagall, still wear those same glasses, she stand and with the wave of her hand another chair appears beside the two already in front of her black desk, I look around the room same walls filled with the pictures of pervious headmasters and mistress, all of the frames are asleep save only a few photos for they were gone. I sit in one of the arm chairs, I had forgot how comfortable they were, I mentally laughed.

"The others should arrive momentarily, would you like some tea Ellise?" McGonagall's voice cut through the silence.

"No, thank you Professor" I answer tucking some of hair behind my ear a habit of when I get nervous. At that moment the fire lit green.

Please Read and Review! I'll write more with motivation.
