Authors note: I'm going to get straight to the point today… my last chapter was really, really, really, short! I am so sorry! Anyway, this chapter is in Hermione's perspective and it will be longer!

Disclaimer: I am not the famous JKR nor will I ever be! I don't own Harry Potter!

Njoy!

Chapter 2: The First Person I Met

What was this place? Yeah, that's what I was thinking when I got there. I ended up on a lush, green field with perfectly pink tulips. I was shocked. This was not what I was expecting…

"Hey!"

I had heard someone calling me and I didn't know who it was. Once I looked up, I saw a boy with long black hair. He had stormy grey eyes, but at the same time, they were full of life.

"Who are you?" I asked him.

"Who are you?"

I frowned. Looks like I had to come up with an excuse… I really hadn't planned this out. Harry and Ron would be shocked.

"I'm…"

Athena? No… that would be too obvious…

"I'm… Sophie!"

"Sophie…"

"Vow."

"Vow?" The boy raised an eyebrow. "That isn't an ideal last name."

I had gotten up and brushed myself off. My response to him was simple, "What can I say, I keep my promises."

The boy had smirked and chuckled.

"Well, you can't just stand there. You'll freeze by night time. I'll find a place for you to stay…"

I had known that he was a wizard. He was hesitating to talk about Hogwarts or his name. That's something only witches and wizards do.

"I'm a witch," I stated clearly, "Where's Hogwarts?"

He was a little taken aback. I admit, his facial expression was kind of cute.

But he got over it and grinned.

"This way."

TTT

I had followed him to Hogwarts where he took me to Dumbledore's office. Now, that is where I am sitting, waiting for Dumbledore to call me in.

"Ms. Vow? Dumbledore will see you now."

It's sort of Dumbledore again.

"Hello Ms. Vow," said Dumbledore, his clear blue eyes sparkling in that way they always did.

"Hello Professor."

"Please sit."

I sat, slowly inching into the seat. I had to make up an excuse. I wanted to trust Dumbledore, but I didn't want him to think I was crazy.

"I- I was wondering if I could stay at Hogwarts for a few days."

It'd only take a few days right?

"Hmmm… I would love to offer you accommodations, but I would also need to know why.

And here came the hard part. What was I supposed to say to him?

"Ahh, well…"

"Of course, I would understand if you do not feel comfortable sharing this information right now."

"I- what?"

Dumbledore smiled.

"I- I-"

"You may go Ms. Vow. Please feel free to talk to me anytime you wish."

I got up quickly, and nearly banged into his desk.

"Thank you Professor!"

"Of course, I would like you to feel at home Ms. Vow, I am sure you keep your promises."

I laughed, a soft bubbly laugh and headed out.

"Goodbye Ms. Vow!" Dumbledore called, his eyes twinkling as I left.

TTT

Now, I am sitting in the room Dumbledore offered me, which is somewhere in the highest towers of the school.

I wish I had brought a journal. I've never been very good at writing in journals but… this is harder than I thought it would be. I hope I can make it through a week.

Tired of thinking. I get and to bed and almost immediately fall asleep.

The last thought in my head before I go to sleep is how cold the bed feels.

Authors Note: Okay… this was longer than the last chapter but it's still not super long. Anyways, I hope you enjoy it!
