Prince charming
Chapter 3 of Legacy



As the room slid into focus, the figure above her became clearer. Chloe lifted her head and tried to get up but he pushed her back down.

"Careful, you have a nasty bump there," said the mysterious boy.
.
Chloe wasn't sure if this was a dream or not, the last she remembered was being sucked into a fireplace and taken for a wild ride, then ending up in this boy's house or something. Now that everything was clear, Chloe looked up at the boy, he had vivid green eyes, like emeralds and thick, jet black hair, he was rather short for a guy and very pale. As she looked at him, her heart seemed to literally skip a beat, she wasn't very aware of her surroundings but she felt very aware of him.

"It's you, you're him, she was right," mumbled Chloe as she tried to gain her bearings, her head still hurt.

"I'm not sure whom you mean, but I'm Harry," he said.

"How did you find me?" asked Chloe, still somewhat bewildered.

Harry shook his head and said, "I think it was Iyou/i who found me, actually. I reckon you used floo powder to get here, funny, I didn't know hogwarts was connected to the floo network."

"Hogwarts!" exclaimed Chloe, "that's it! I'm here to carry on my ancestors quest or something, she told me to say hogwarts, she said I'd find you."

"Erm...I think you hit your head a bit harder than I thought, perhaps you should lie down on something a bit more comfortable than the floor and I'll fetch Dumbledore."

"No wait!" Chloe sat up, "don't go anywhere yet, I need to know who you are."

Harry halted and said, "you mean you don't recognize me? You must be from the muggle world..."

Chloe replied, "I was raised as a muggle but I just found out that I'm a witch...and that I have a quest and a soul ma - erm, nevermind."

"A what?" asked Harry, as he helped Chloe to her feet.

"I'll explain later, I'm feeling a bit dizzy, right now."

He guided her over to one of the four posters and said, "you can rest here for a while until you feel better."

"Thank you," murmured Chloe as she sat on the bed.

Chloe looked around and noticed there were five 4-posters in all, with a trunk set at the base of each one. "Is this a dormitory or sorts?" she asked.

"Well, yes, it's a wizarding school, actually," he said.

"Wow," said Chloe as she lay back on the bed.

He turned to go once more but Chloe called to him, "did you...by any chance...kiss me before?"

He turned bright red and seemed to become very interested in his shoes. "er...no...no, I um.. Just..." he stuttered.

"Oh." whispered Chloe, her face falling.

Harry shifted uncomfortably and then went for the door but halted and asked, "oh, by the way, what is your name?"

"Chloe. Chloe Baudelaire. It was nice meeting you Mr. Potter," said Chloe, going slightly red.

"How'd you know my last name?"

Chloe thought for a moment, she hadn't even realized she had said his last name, "Potter," she thought..."It seems like I know him, already..." she wondered aloud, "my very own prince charming," she whispered.

Harry nodded and said "do get a bit of rest, then, you took a bad fall." he turned and left, leaving Chloe with her baffled thoughts.

Chloe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she had just arrived at a wizarding school with magic everywhere and she'd found Harry Potter...but then again, she had to figure out what to do in order to complete Godric Gryffindor's legacy and how to do it safely...
