Chapter 10

Caroline flipped over in the cot she was laying in and thus, fell on the floor with a loud crash, knocking over a pitcher of water and hitting her head on her trunk.

"DAMN!" screamed Caroline

She felt a horrid pounding in her head and the images from the previous day, her vision, Draco, Pansy, and finally Dumbledore, were replayed in her head. She looked at her wristwatch and noticed that she was late for breakfast.

Caroline decided that she wasn't going to bother dressing the normal way and since there was no one else in the room (she was in Dumbledore's office) she would just conjure an outfit.

Caroline snapped her fingers and her entire school uniform magically appeared. She snapped her fingers once more and her hair brush began to hover next to her head and it began to brush her hair. It then proceeded to pull her hair into two tiny pig tails.

Caroline began to apply lipstick as the brush did her hair. When her hair was done, and she had finished her makeup, she conjured a very large mirror and surveyed herself.

"I look better when I let magic do its thing" she said aloud.

Caroline then grabbed her school books and proceeded down the stairs from Dumbledore's office to the great hall where she could find breakfast.

Caroline realized that officially she did not belong to a house, so she grabbed some toast off of the Hufflepuff table (the entire Slytherin table was looking at her) and she exited the hall and began to walk on the school grounds, despite the fact that it was incredibly cold. She needed time to herself to think things over before class.

"Ms. Howerd!" a soft voice said. Caroline turned and saw that it was Dumbledore. "Please come with me my dear. We must get you settled in Gryffindor and then I will escort you to class where I will explain to the rest of your house mates what has happened. Word will get around school soon enough so I will only have to inform your fellow 5th years" said Dumbledore.
