Chapter Six: Didn't we meet before?
Kitty awoke again to the sound of a girl's voice:
"And what of this boy you tell me of, the one that was with her?"
"Jack, yes well we lost him, he vanished, we think-."
"We think they took him." interrupted a familiar voice that belonged to a boy.
"If they did Professor, do you think there is a chance that he is alive?" asked the girl.
"I'm not sure Ms. Granger. If they did indeed take him, he might very well be, but I don't know what they would want from him..." there was a silence then the man Kitty knew was the Professor continued as though speaking to himself other than the others, "Its strange, I don't remember there being a wizarding family named Levenski. Are you sure that was his name Ms. Granger?"
"Yes that's what he said, and her name is Cummings."
"Cummings...Cummings," said the man's voice thoughtfully, "Ah yes I do remember there being a group of Cummings in Southern Scotland, but we rarely have had a Cummings at Hogwarts. I think it was at least 40 years since we last had a Cummings... I don't remember ever giving out a letter to her..."
"Sir, is there a possibility she could be muggle born?" said the girl.
"Yes quite possibly."
"You might have a point there Hermione." Said the boy.
Kitty opened her eyes just in time to see the girl she assumed was Hermione Granger go over to a bed where a redhead was lying. He had a bandage around his head and a cast on his arm.
"How are you doing Ron?" said Hermione, "Feeling any better?" The redhead mumbled something inaudible.
"He'll be fine Ms. Granger," said the old man, who Kitty could now see was dressed in dark blue robes with a beard going down almost to the floor, "Madam Pomfrey is amazing, she will help him, thankfully he wasn't under the Cruciatus curse for long. Thank Merlin he had had experience in Defence against the Dark Arts two years ago."
"He'll be fine Hermione," said the other boy at the look on the girl's face. Kitty now recognized him as the extremely handsome boy that had come up to her earlier named Harry, "I don't think he'll be in the hospital wing for very long. Maybe a week at the most." He assured his friend.
"What happened?" asked Kitty; she was very confused what with all the words that she was sure didn't exist being thrown around. The others turned around in surprise at Kitty's question.
The old man that Kitty could now see was wearing half moon spectacles, addressed her first, "How are you doing Ms. Cummings?" said the old man, "I daresay you had a nasty bump on the head."
"Where am I?" asked Kitty, a bit embarrassed by her ignorant state, "and who, if you don't mind me asking, are you?"
"I am Professor Albus Dumbledore. I am headmaster of this school: Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and," he pointed to the bed. "Ronald Weasley. I think you all have met before, but I don't believe you'd remember that. Thank goodness you weren't hurt more than you were. Memory we can handle. I hate to think what the Death Eater's could've done to you."
"What?"
"Like I told you, supporters of Voldemort." Kitty heard a sharp intake of breath from the bed adjacent to her.
"Oh Ron! Will you ever get used to hearing his name?" all Kitty could hear from the red head was a grunt.
"Voldemort? Who's he?" asked Kitty.
"He's a really bad wizard that-."
"Wait," Kitty interrupted Harry, "You mean that I was hearing you correctly... Wizards really do exist?"
"Yes they do," said the old man, "And if I am not mistaken, you yourself are a witch."
"I am?" asked Kitty.
"Uhuh." said Harry.
"At least we think so at this moment." Said Professor Dumbledore.
Kitty looked away. If she really was a witch, that certainly would be something. But she mustn't get too excited; there was a chance that she wasn't one at all.
"What can we do? Us witches and wizards I mean?"
"Just about anything we want!" Said Hermione. "I remember when I first found out I was a witch, it was amazing! Course you will probably have to learn things all over again that you learned before but, well it will probably be easier this time around, do you have your wand?"
"It wasn't found. I think the fire might have been caught in the fire," answered Harry.
"What happened that night?" asked Kitty.
"Well you were on your way to school when...
