"But---but----you're not real! You're just in a book----" Evalynn was terrified. She didn't know what to make of this situation. "OK, just calm down. It's not such a big deal. It's actually very cool. Breathe." Evalynn said out loud to herself. She slowly lowered herself into that chair. Through this whole ordeal, Dumbledore just watched with fascination.

"Are you all calmed down enough for me to ask your name?"

"Ah...sure. Sorry about that just then. Well. Hello. I'm Evalynn. Evalynn JoHanson."

Chapter 2: Dreaming

Evalynn put out her hand politely. Dumbledore took it.

"I understand you're not from around here, going by your accent, you're probably from America, right?" Evalynn nodded. "So how did you end up here?" Evalynn didn't know what to say. 'Why am I here? I'm probably dreaming or something. No, this man looks like he could be nuts. I better get out of here before I get kidnapped or something.' Evalynn got up.

"Um.... You know what. I don't even know! Well, nice talking to you. Er---goodbye then." Evalynn turned around quickly and ran to the door. It wouldn't open. She pushed and pulled at it. "Open you stupid door!"

"Don't worry. I won't hurt you or anything. Trust me." Dumbledore was right behind her. She turned around suddenly when he put his hand on her shoulder trying to pull her away from the door.

"Don't touch me, you psycho!" She tried to push him away but he wouldn't let go. "Let go of me! Let go!" Evalynn closed her eyes and thought of being outside of the door and away from this man. She began to feel a little lightheaded and Dumbledore's frustrated voice and tight grip on her shoulder became distant and then disappeared all together. When she opened her eyes she was standing in front of the eagle statue. She swayed a little wondering how she got here, but she didn't stick around to find out, in case if that man was going to come after her.

Back in the office, Dumbledore stood right where Evalynn was.

"How did she get away? I must have under estimated her power. Well...this could be interesting. Oh and sorry, but I just ruined your chance of her trusting you ever. Oh well." Dumbledore said to an unconscious body that was laying the shadows. An evil, shrill laugh emitted from him as he disappeared.

Evalynn ran through the corridors, trying to find the way she came in. "Oh! Where is it!" She looked around while she stopped to catch her breath. She backed up against the wall. "Oh it's no use. I'm going to be stuck here until day and then that man will come after me. For all I know he could be looking for me right now!" With that, she looked around her cautiously. She began to walk slowly around, her eyes adjusting to the dim lighting. Evalynn reached some large oak doors. They weren't the ones she was looking for but she decided to try them. They lead her outside, to her satisfaction, but not to the same place she was earlier. Over in the distance she noticed a field of some sort. "Where's there's a field, maybe there's a game keeper nearby." So she headed off towards the Qudditch field.

Evalynn awoke to the sound of voices.

"Who is she?"

"Is she new?"

"Is she in your house?'

"Hey, hey. Break it up. What do we have here?" Evalynn jumped up immediately to find herself surrounded by boys with broomsticks in their hands. A huge man with a big bushy beard emerged from the little crowd. She gasped and backed away, the boys moving aside.

"Are you all right there missy? Oh sorry if I gave ya' a bit of a surprise, there." Evalynn's eyes were wide with fright. She turned and ran. "I wonder if it were something I said." They all watched her curiously as she ran off.

Evalynn stopped and leaned against one of the stands to catch her breath. She turned to look around the other side of the stand to see if anyone had followed her. When she turned around, she came face to face with the huge man. "Ahhh!" Evalynn jumped back.

"Wait! Don't run away. Sorry if I scared ya' back there. I saw all them boys crowding around something and you know boys, could'a been a bothering some poor creature. Then someone told me that someone was sleeping on the field. Then I thought to meself, "Why would someone be 'a sleeping out on the Quidditch field?" and I figured it was some kind of prank, I mean you usually don't see that too often." He laughed and noticed that Evalynn was just standing there with her mouth open. "Oh, well." He coughed nervously. "I'm Rubius Hagrid, Gamekeeper at Hogwarts. Who might you be?"

'Just calm down. He was nice in the book...but so was Dumbledore. Oh well. You can't be hurt in a dream...I hope.'

"Oh um...My name is Evalynn. Evalynn JoHanson." Evalynn just smiled and nodded her head to herself. 'Well now it's official. I'm dreaming. I might as well play along.'

"Well, 'ello there then!" He took her hand. "I suppose you're new then."

"Well I guess you could say that, so, yeah, I don't really know where to go. I have some idea where the places are, but, yeah. I guess I just got lost." Evalynn looked around her.

"That's all right! I'll show you around. After all, that is what I'm supposed to do." He smiled and started walking away. Evalynn ran after him. "So. Do you know what house you'll be in?" Looking down, Evalynn thought for a moment. 'I suppose that I should say I'm in Gryffindor. I mean, that's where everyone says they are in. Nah, I'll be in...'

"I'm in Slytherin." Hagrid turned his head and looked at her.

"You don't seem the type to be put into Slytherin. Are you sure?"

Looking back up at him, Evalynn smiled and said, "Yes, I'm sure. What a hard time I'll have being a half-blood. I'm going to have fun." Hagrid stopped and looked at her.

"Yer a half-blood and you were put in 'ta Slytherin?" His eyes got wide. "Well, maybe this is good. You can be the one to turn hat House around." He smiled and Evalynn smiled back. 'Yup, I will. This is a dream after all.'
