(chapter 3/ I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE!)
Disclaimer: I hereby state that I do not own or ever will be the owner of Harry Potter, so don't kill me Jk, Rolling! now enjoy.
"HEY professor! look I, think she's alive!" yelled someone in the distance. I drifted in and out of consciousness and couldn't open my eyes as I felt like I was hit by a buss or something heavy.
'where am I?' I thought hazily as I was getting a bad headache from everything spinning around me. I couldn't figure out were i was or who the voices belonged to.
"Make way! ...hmm we need to bring her to madam Humphrey..." A smooth voice came out of nowhere. It sounded familiar but where have I hear it before? I felt two strong arms pick me up like a princess. It made me feel happy and smile a bit before passing out again.
(Sometime later)
"...is... mis... MISS" I could hear someone calling me. I slowly woke up again but this time I could open my eyes. I slowly opened my eyes and saw the last person that I thought I would never be able to see in my life. Aldus, Dumbledore.
" well, that's good your finally awake I see. good afternoon miss, I'm professor, Dumbledore or just headmaster is fine what's your name?" Dumbledore said relieved as he made a sigh. I sat up and looked around me as I found myself in the Hogwarts hospital wing.
'um... I'm in Hogwarts, why am I here? wait! he asked me a question, well signaled me really to tell him my name, I shouldn't be rude and not answer him but should I? sister usually tells me not to give strangers my name... wait! Pook! where is she?' I came out of my musing panicked as I ignored Dumbledore's questioning looks and looked around frantically.
I saw a cat collar on my lap with a name tag that said, 'Ponyo' but there was no Pook in sight. I was scared and helpless without my sister so I did the only thing i could think of. I yelled at the only person in the room."where am I! where's my sister?!"
Dumbledore seemed concerned as I yelled at him but I didn't care. I wanted my sister with me. Dumbledore pushed me back down onto the hospital bed as his old clammy hands grabbed and let go of my shoulders gently.
"please miss calm down, the only thing we found with you was your cat and suitcase that's all. I'm sorry there were no other's with you..."Dumbledore tried to reason with my panicked state of mind. I stopped my proses of thought momentarily and registered what he said. I looked at him confused as to why he would say I had a cat and why they hadn't found my sister with me."my... my cat?"
I remembered what had happened before I blacked out. The plane, saying goodbye to uncle glen, Pook crying and being sick of the Plane ride. I had ordered her a drink to make her feel better as the ride got worse but it just stops there. The last thing I remember the most was the promise I made with my sister. 'I will find you! I promise!'
"now please I would like you to answer some questions of mine and I'll answer some questions of yours, seem fair?" Dumbledore asked calmly, as he smiled kindly at me with his sparkly eye. I nodded shakily still shocked about what had happened to me as I was trying to figure out what to do. then it hit me. 'magic! of course! I can use it to send me to where ever she is. It will be a piece of cake! haha... but I'll need to learn who to use it. I'm lucky I ended up here.'
"so what is your name child? lemon drop?" Dumbledore shot the first question kindly as he took out his candy's and handed me a piece. I take it and eat it feeling a bit better that I had a plain in mind as I answered him shyly as a small smile came onto my face and his smile got bigger"Emily Mary wood, sir, and thank you, this is good!"
" it is nice to meet you Emily wood and I know they are! now the second question! why is it you have Hogwarts clothes in your belongings? from what I could tell from your things is that you're a wizard, but I don't remember giving you a Hogwarts letter?" Dumbledore asked using his serious voice as he pulled up my suitcase beside him and frowned but I didn't care about that. I was more concerned about the fact that he went throw my things as I looked at him scornfully thinking 'what kind of person does that? how rude!'
" . .things?"I spat out as I was more than a little pissed off. I had sat back up causing the Ponyo named collar to slid off my lap which got both of us to notice it and Dumbledore's face went from serious too confused.
"that's... why isn't this on your cat? she was laying right there before I left earlier too?" Dumbledore questioned to himself. I scowled at him thinking he was changing the topic on purpose but as I thought about the collar it donned on me."what were you talking about earlier? I don't have a cat?"
My blank response shocked him as he looked at me concerned and pulled himself out of the chair he was on. He walked to the window and stared out it thinking. before explaining to me what happened before I had woke up."A tabby cat, no older than 11 years old came into the great hall when we were having dinner last night. She was soaked to the bone with bright glowing green eyes. she could talk and asked us to help you before her time ran out. she led us to where you were floating a hundred feet in the air. After she made sheer you were safe here she said thank you and never left your side since. she told me to tell you your sister was safe."
I looked at him shocked and even more confused then I was before, who was this Ponyo and why did she save me? I needed to find out and I will later. I had other things to worry about other then a mysterious cat.
"Oh, okay, but about my stuff..."I asked getting back to are old topic as he walked back to me.
" it was necessary for us to do so, miss wood please understand, Hogwarts is a school and we are just making sheer it stays safe," Dumbledore said seriously as he slipped that calm smile right back on. I could tell he didn't want to think about that cat any more than I did. I nodded in understanding as he sat back in the chair beside the bed I was on with the collar in hand. It was made out of leather and had green diamonds along the middle of it so they matched the green trimming around the whole collar.
"well, my dad gave me those clothes and stuff to me before he ...died along with my mom. I'm sorry... I don't really know how I got here, sir "
The headmaster saw my honesty as he looked at me with a sad smile and nodded. I kept out the part where I'm from another world entirely out of the conversation as I knew that would arise more questions I didn't want to answer.
"do you have any family or place to stay, miss wood?" Dumbledore asked hopefully and I stared at my hands sadly, as I bit my lip. The headmaster had raised his eyebrow's and sparkled his eyes when I shook my head, making him grow a big smile and jump out of his chair again. "then you can stay here, in Hogwarts! and become a student. My dear, welcome to Hogwarts school of which craft and wizardry!"
Dumbledore roared with laughter as I watched him blankly with a shy smile as he handed me my letter and some money to buy books. he soon left leaving me in miss Humphreys care. 'well that was easy, but I bet he's got some plan in mind for me tho'
'great..' I thought sarcastically as I saw Humphrey yelling at a few nurses to get stuff. I groaned in dismay and flopped back no to the bed. I really didn't like that nurse as I could hear the old castle creek and sway from the wind outside.
"Am I alone..." I said out loud blankly as I felt my situation hit me hard in the face and noticed the collar. I felt tears going down my cheeks not knowing why but soon thought about everything else and blamed it on that.
'I'm going to find you, sis. I promised you!' I thought sadly and laid there crying on the bed ignoring the nurses coming in and out. I took the pillow holding up my head, covered my face as I screamed into it and then fell asleep from exhaustion. I held the cat Ponyo's collar in my hand tightly in my sleep.
A/n- sorry this was short, but I was busy this week and found that this was all I could come up with at the time, stay tuned for the next chapter.
PS. this chapter made me want to cry, poor Ponyo...whaaa! :'(
