Okay again due to some reviews I was asked to provide another chapter. I don't know if I like this chapter very much, but it's all I could come up with on short notice. Again I am still on hiatus with my limbo fiction and I do not know what to write for it anymore. Anyone got any suggestions?

Chapter Two

My name is Alice Longbottom and so far I've been dumped, kidnapped, almost killed a girl, but don't worry I checked she wasn't dead, and now I'm currently trying to escape a strange hospital via the elevator. There's just one problem, I've stopped at the fifth floor instead of the first. The papers from earlier fluttered down to my feet. My heart clenched in my throat as the elevator doors opened. Their on the other side was a woman with long, really long blonde hair wherein goggles over her eyes. She wasn't looking at me but at her folder clutched her hands. She defiantly wasn't a nurse she had on normal clothes though, the assortment was questionable.

Beats passed for what felt like forever before her overly large blue eyes blinked up at me from the hallway.

"Um…Hello." I said unsure. She was staring at me, I chose to ignore her, and bent down to gather the papers. "Sorry, the ding startled me, um, what floor are you going to, because I'm going down…so..." I trailed off, lifting my head up to glance at her once more. She seemed to be in a state of shock. Much like the blonde nurse from earlier. Oh god, please don't tell me she knows me, for the love of god I just want to get out of here.

A man behind the woman in a business suit made to walk into the elevator with me. Reacting before anyone could do anything, she had pulled the man roughly back out of the elevator.

"This lift is taken sorry!" She exclaimed pushing me to the back of the car, pressed the close door bottom before taken out her wand and waved it once before she turned to face me her expression a glare.

"Who are you?!" She whispered, pointing her wand at me. I pressed my body back far away from her and stared. This was a witch a real witch with real magic and a really angry face. Her enlarged eyes from the goggles didn't revile anything other than the fact that she was sourly pissed off. For what reason I had now idea.

But I could feel this was real. She was really going to curse me if I didn't answer her and soon as she made her point in poking me with her wand to my chest.

"I'll ask you again, tell me who you are! You're definitely not Alice Longbottom. She's been in an almost catatonic state for the last ten years. What have you done with her?" She demanded roughly lifting my chin up with her wand, almost choking me.

"I...I-I don't know what you're-"She cut me off hitting me in my gut making me bend over. If I had ever needed a reality check that was it, I definitely felt that. "Don't lie to me! What have you done with my friend! Where is she?!" She shrieked angrily. I could only gasp as I regained my breath.

"Tell me!" She screamed gabbing my dress and dragged me up so she could see my face. Oh god. What did I do to deserve this? "Tell me!" She demanded again, shaking me.

"I'm Alice!" I screamed tears welling up in my eyes again. God my head hurt and she wasn't helping it. Was I going to die here? By some woman supposedly Alice Longbottom's, my friend.

"Lies! You are not! Who are you?!" She screamed this time kicking my shin hard. She really didn't like that answer.

"OW!" I yelped, my shin throbbed painfully, I was defiantly going to bruise later, if this woman didn't kill me first.

"I swear! I'm Alice Longbottom, I just escaped from the sixteenth floor, Please I don't know how got here I was just trying to leave!" I yelled cringing away from her as tears fell from my eyes. "I just woke up in this strange hospital I don't know what's going on, please believe me!"

The woman glowered at me, taking in my pathetic state. Her hands didn't let up from holding me down. Glaring at me she spoke once more almost as a whisper this time. "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" she asked snidely.

I took a breath and blinked at her through the tears. "W-What." I replied. What did that have to do with anything?

She growled. "Answer the question! Why is a raven like a writing desk?!"

"I don't know!" I cried, trying to move away from her. She lifted her wand higher choking me. Oh god she was really going to kill me know. "Because Poe wrote on both!" I answered the first thing that popped into my head panicking.

She gasped. Suddenly her wand was no longer choking me. "What did you say?" Her voice range a whisper. I don't even know if she said it at all, but I looked up at her in confusion. "B-Because Poe wrote on both." I replied my whole body shaking as I stared into her eyes.

Her hand came to her mouth and she stepped back dropping her wand. "Alice? Is that really you?" She asked gasping. I scolded tensely nodding my head. "I've been trying to tell you but you've been too busy pounding me into the wall to listen." I replied back.

She laughed before the sound unexpectedly turned into a sob and then I was being held in a tight embrace. Okay…Alice these people are officially crazy, what kind of person attack another out of nowhere and then cries on them.

Fucking hell.

"Alice I can't believe it! Did the healers do something, how, when, your not-"She sobbed her goggles fogging over as she clung to me. Tenderly I started to pat her on the back. "Um….There, there I'm okay, its fine…please stop crying." I pleaded with her, this only seemed to make her sob harder.

Unexpectedly the door to the elevator opened, we were on the first floor. I hadn't even realized we had been moving downward.


Outside the door was a group of people waiting on the elevator. They all held surprised expressions as they took in the sight of my ruffled clothing and the strange bawling blonde on my shoulder.

"Um…Hello..." I squeaked. One man nodded back his eyebrow raised. "Hello..?" He replied. I nodded and slowly walked out of the elevator with the woman on my arms still sobbing. "She's just been through a lot today, Excuse us everyone sorry for monopolizing the lift." I replied dragging her with me down the hallway fallowing the signs that said exit.

The group nodded and then went about their business as if they saw weirdly dressed sobbing woman all the time while we continued away from them down the hall.

The woman kept sobbing all the while as I searched for somewhere I could set her down and get some answers. Finally I noticed the ladies facilities sign and entered them dragging her along. Thank fully it was empty so I locked the door and sat her on the lid of the toilet seat.

"Okay, um Ssshh. Please Miss, please stop crying, I'm pretty sure it should be me crying instead of you, and I since I don't even know who you are it won't help much if you don't stop crying." I pleaded with her pushing her hair out of her face, I grabbed some toilet paper from the side of us and tried to dab at her eyes.

It took her a few hiccups some more hugging but finally she was able to calm down and I was able to breath normally again.

"Alice…You're not?" She gulped rubbing at her eyes, her goggles long since having been pushed up to her forehead reviling her silvery blue eyes. "You're not covered in nargles anymore! How, what happened?"

"Um…I-I'm not sure…?" I replied my hand still patting her back "I'm not sure of much of anything right now, Miss. I don' even know who you are."

She nodded sniffing as she gazed at me sadly. "That's normal probably. You-"She trailed off using the tissues to wipe at her tear sodden face. "I-I'm Pandora, We went to school together, w-we were friends…" She trailed off.

Okay, well at least we were getting somewhere. I gazed at Pandora, she was an odd little thing. But I could see she really cared for her friend, me. She was even so protective that as soon as she saw me, someone who was I guess who her friend Alice was, she knew something had happened and went into crazy over protective friend mode. I had to admit after getting over the fact that she held a sucker of a punch, I kind of liked her. I really couldn't tell you why.

She was shaking too, I noticed. As she clutched my hand to her rubbing circles over my palm. I felt it. Her love. We must have been the best of friends. But I was Alice Longbottom, from a small town and no known magical gene in my body. And she knew her Alice Longbottom, friend to her, a magical witch that had been tutored to insanity, wife of Frank Longbottom and mother to Neville Longbottom. I gulped my stomach dropping. I wasn't that Alice. So what did I do? I just wanted to leave.

I gazed at her, tears still silently streaming from her eyes as she tried to unsuccessfully wipe them aside. I suddenly knew if I was going to get some answers and get the hell out of here then she was my only option.

"Well, Pandora, It's nice to meet you," I said maneuvering our hands into a handshake position. "My name is Alice Longbottom, I woke up a little over an hour ago and before this moment, I thought magic was a myth, I lived in America, I don't remember much of anything on how I got here other than a lot of pain, and I knocked out a nurse-or healer I think on my escape out of here." I finished wincing slightly okay…That didn't come out as nice as it sounded in my head. She's going to think I am a Loon. Scratch that I am a Loon. Really Alice get your priorities straighten out.

She blinked at me surprised her mouth forming a little oh expression as she stared into my eyes. After what felt like eternity she griped my hand back nodding. "Hello Alice, It's also nice to meet you, my name is Pandora Lovegood, we were best friends in school, and a little over an hour ago I was in the research department looking for a spell to help heal you and Frank of your nargles." She said shaking my hand up and down. "I do apologize for the way I acted, it's been rather hard since you-well, I'm just very happy to meet you, again..." She trailed off laughing her face taken on a childlike giddiness.

Pandora Lovegood. As in Luna Lovegood's mother?! Why do I have the feeling shit just got real?
