Amy had been dreaming about being able to fly far above the grounds of Hogwarts on a broomstick when suddenly she felt herself being shook awake, and soft voice talking to her.
"Wake up, Come on Amy sweetie. You need to wake up now."
Amy opened her eyes blearily and looked up, a surprised look on her face. It was still dark in the dormitory and it looked as though it was very late, well early the next morning. Why was someone waking her up at this time?
As she looked up she saw a woman looking down at her, it was one of the professors she knew, she had seen her at the feast the night before.
"Oh good, you're awake. I'm Professor Abbott, now you need to stay calm."
Amy's mind was flooded with sudden anxiety, what had happened? She hoped very much that she was still dreaming but knew that this was not the case.
"There's been a..well...an accident," said Professor Abbott kindly. "Your mother is in a magical hospital called St. Mungo's"
"But..." Said Amy, not quite understanding what was going on. "She's not a witch, she's a muggle, why is she in a wizarding hospital?"
"I'm not quite sure how to tell you this," Said Professor Abbott, a sad look in her eyes. "But she was found unconscious and it is believed that she has been attacked or cursed in some way."
Amy gasped and Professor Abbott put her arm around her.
"Can I see her please? Now?" Amy asked, agitatedly.
"I don't think that's best," Said Professor Abbott kindly. "She's in a bad way and me and the Headmistress feel that we should at least fill you in before you see her."
Amy was scared at this point, if she was in a bad way, was she going to die? She desperately tried to breathe and think straight.
She quickly pulled on a nightgown and slippers and followed Professor Abbott out of the room. Giving a weak smile to Cara, who had woken up due to commotion.
The walk to the headmistress' office seemed like forever to Amy, she still did not know the school very well and there seemed to be countless passageways and staircases. By the time they reached the entrance to the headmistress' office she was so impatient she almost ran up the spiral stone steps.
She managed to restrain herself and slowly ascended the staircase, Professor Abbott just in front of her.
As she walked in to the office her breath caught, the objects in the headmistress' office were amazing and if it hadn't been covered in tartan and the situation had been different she would have started asking about the objects immediately.
"Miss Dursley, sit down please" Said Professor McGonagall. The serious expression on her face made Amy's stomach flip and she felt her legs go weak.
She sat down slowly and a torrent of questions burst free from her. "What's happened? Is my mother going to be okay? Why is she in St. Mungo's? Who did this to her?"
Professor McGonagall watched her patiently as she screamed at her, this expression made Amy angrier, why was she not being told everything immediately? Anything could be happening to her mother and here Professor McGonagall was being completely calm.
Professor McGonagall sensed this emotion in Amy's eyes and quickly started explaining.
"Amy, not all wizards are good,"
Amy looked at Professor McGonagall wondering if she was really hearing this, was Professor McGonagall really being as patronising as it seemed?
"Your mother was hurt by one of these wizards, I cannot give you any more information right now, we will now floo you to St Mungo's. Remember Amy be prepared for what you will see."
Amy's stomach tightened, why did they keep telling her to prepare like this?
Please leave reviews, I really need them. Thanks.
