Chapter 13:

"Now I have only a few words to say: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak! Thank you!" There were a few laughs, but I decided to stay quiet, just incase… Food magically appeared on the golden platters, at first I was shocked, but I remembered what this school was. I looked on the ground eating whatever I could, avoiding any eye contact.

I gathered up the courage to look at Hermione, "er…Hermione, what's a muggle?"

Hermione was very interested in her food for a moment, but then looked up at me and said: "a muggle is someone with no extrao—I mean, magical form of power… common folk I guess I could say…Maybe you're a witch and you never knew…but then why would Professor Dumbledore call you a muggle? …unless you were….no…" Hermione continued to mutter to herself about what the possibility of me having extraordinary powers, the possibility of me being something special, something I dreamed of being. The dream that would never come true.

I grabbed a piece of turkey leg on the platter, a silvery shimmer caught my eye, it was next to Harry and the red head boy, I caught his name while listening to their conversation, Percy. I was curious what the silver thing was, so I listened some more.

"Good Afternoon gentlemen, I am Sir. Nicholas …" the conversation went something like that. "I know who you are! You're Nearly Headless Nick!" that boy Ron said. He was the other red head, the youngest as I saw it. It was a ghost, from all I could tell. My head felt funny, I didn't know what happened, but I started to get up. I needed to be somewhere alone. I passed the table with Green and Silver banners, there was a blonde kid there, he smirked and said; "my father told me that Dumbledore was a blothering idiot, sending a muggle to our school…wait until he hears about this, and, she's not a witch, pureblood, mudblood, what do we call her anyways…?"

I tried to keep my head straight, there were people noticing me, staring at me. I could tell they were scared of me, they were whispering to the nearest person. And my head kept spinning. My vision blurred a little, and then everything blacked out…
