Elsa woke up in an unfamiliar bright white environment. She saw masses of other colours swarming above her head. The colours slowly turned into people and she was able to make out some of the people watching her. She could see Angelina, Lee, Alicia, Caddy, a-person-she-didn't-know, Fred and...George. She tried to lift her hand up but it hurt a lot. She only could manage one centimetre before George yelled out,
"She's Alive!"
Elsa stared at him. He looked as tired as she felt.
"H-how long have I been asleep?" she stuttered.
The words were hard to get out because her jaw hadn't been used in so long and hurt to move. She carefully tried to lift the other arm, and was pleased to find it lifted high enough to rest a hand on Georges cheek. He blushed a furious red, but still answered her question.
"Well, you've missed most of the first half-term..." he replied
"Actually, you have missed all of it!" finished Fred.
"What happened to me?" she whispered. The last thing she remember was Voldemort...Voldemort.
"Ummmm..." started Angelina, "You went into a trance, you left the hall and just shook all of us off when we tried to, well, change you back and um, then, you went up to the astronomy tower and jumped off. But, you didn't fall, you started to fly, straight into the roof of one of the other buildings. You fell from there with two broken legs and would of died if Cedric hadn't caught you."
Elsa presumed that the pretty second year boy from Hufflepuff was Cedric.
Fred and George were grinning identical evil grins.
"Tell her later,"whispered Alicia, "she needs to know about the teachers. Professor McGonagall – Strict but really nice, Professor Flitwick, again, not strict but really nice."
"Madam Pince, the librarian, Total Bitch. She will kill you if you get so much a 1mm of ink on her books!" George interrupted. "Professor Sprout," he paused because Cedric was now glaring at him. "Totally lovely, plants not people though."
There was an awkward silence.
"Then there's Professor Snape. Greasy haired git." spat Lee.
The tension diffused as everyone laughed.
"There is also Professor Dill. He's the DADA teacher." Fred said, counting the teachers off on his finger, "Madam Pomfrey is the nurse, Filch is the horrid caretaker, you already know Dumbledore, and Hagrid is the ground keeper!"
Elsa nodded and slowly drifted back into sleep, she could feel George rest his head on her lap. Lee laughed and George shoved him. Slowly they fell asleep. Neither of them had properly slept (voluntarily) over the half term.
"Not another scar can be healed without the giver destroyed." Narcissa Malfoy said, "I am going to leave this job up to you Elsa. You know what you have to do."
The eleven year old Elsa hugged her mum and boarded the train. The words still fresh in her mind.
