Chapter 10: Where am I?
Nigella awoke with a killer headache. She tried to sit up and found that she couldn't with how bad her head hurt. She automatically began to wonder what she had drunk in Dumbledore's office. "Guess it doesn't matter now. I really wish I could get up though." She thought to herself as she lay there on the floor.
After a few more minutes of lying on the floor Nigella decided that it would be wise to try and find out where she was. She opened her eyes and saw she was still in Dumbledore's office, but she was alone. With the comfort of knowing where she was Nigella walked over to one of the chairs in the corner of the room and fell back asleep faster than she had thought.
Meanwhile in the corridors Dumbledore was frantically searching for the body of the girl he had warned himself would be coming to this time frame. He gave up looking after hours and was very surprised to see a beautiful young girl curled up asleep in one of the chairs in his office.
"This must be her. I shouldn't wake her." Dumbledore whispered to himself as he walked over to the sleeping girl and gave her a shot. He almost felt bad for what he was doing but he knew this was all for the better. The shot he was giving to her was a simple de-aging potion. She needed to be elven or twelve and she was easily seventeen. He watched her sleep for a few more minutes and decided that it would be best to move the girl to a more comfortable place so he simply levitated her to a chaise lounge in the corner of the room.
After hours of being passed out Nigella awoke on a small chaise lounge still in the office of the elderly headmaster. She sat up wondering what has caused her to be so dizzy in the first place, but had no immediate idea as to what could have caused her dizzy spell." Now I must find Professor Dumbledore and talk to him about all of the things I need to know about this place." So she stood up and walked out of the room looking for the elderly headmaster. Nigella walked until she found herself back in the main hallway and was shocked to see a group of kids standing in the vestibule. She approached them quietly trying not to be seen until she felt a hand grab unto her, but before she could turn to see who had grabbed a hold of her she heard a voice that made her tremble. The voice was deep but it was obvious that it sill belonged to a boy about eleven or twelve.
"Come on Lucious there is no way. I highly doubt that anyone could look at you let alone bed with you." The mysterious voice said, and to her shock it sounded like the voice was getting closer.
"No Tom, I'm telling you I bedded with this really hot French girl before the beginning of term. I knew you wouldn't believe me. Sheesh some guys would just be happy for their best friend if they found out he got laid, but not you Riddle." The voice she suspected had to belong to Lucious. He sounded so snide and like a total ass, but the other one….he sounded so clam, cool, and collected. It made her heart race and her palms sweat.
"We both know you're lying Lucious so just drop it. We only have a few more minutes until we're to be sorted and you running your mouth like a mad man doesn't help any of us." Said another voice much like the first but in a way it was quieter and more reserved. And Nigella was more than happy to see that
"No one asked for your damn opinion Helianthus! So why don't you just go fuck a donkey or something." Lucious said his face getting read and his usually perfect blonde hair was splayed around him. He was angry and it showed but the others just laughed at him.
"Mister Filch I suggest you let that young girl go before she misses her sorting." Came the voice of Professor Dumbledore from behind her. Nigella was so happy to hear the old man's voice that she was scared when she turned around and saw a man that was easily half the mans age.
"Sir she was exploring the castle and all the students were told not to go wandering around." Filch said looking at the Headmaster trying to plead his case without getting into any trouble.
"I will speak with her after the ceremony now let her go." Dumbledore said and Filch let her go and Nigella ran into the crowd of students trying to get away from the confusion that ensued.
"I don't understand this. I swore I was just coming here to go to school not be confused out of my damn mind. I don't recognize any of these…." Nigella stopped in her tracks because right before here stood her mother. There was no question about it the porcelain skin and everything was the same. Nigella recoiled and was stunned to see that no one else noticed the all too shocking resemblance. She turned on her heel and was stopped when a woman she knew all to well said.
Minerva said leading the large group of first years into the great hall so they could be sorted.
I am very sorry that this took so long everyone. School has started and is beginning to inhibit my writing. Not to mention I have a nasty case of writers block. The chapters will be shortened until I can get this problem of mine fixed. But I guarantee you the story will go on. Please Review.
