Alex P.O.V.
They stared at me expectantly. I sat pleasantly and watched them for any sign of irritation. True to my thoughts Snape was the first one to speak up.
"Well?"
If you could count a word as speaking up. I silently debated how much I should tell these 'wizards' if I wanted to tell them anything. In the end, I decided to go with the phrase 'short and sweet.'
"I was dying of Cholera in the late 1800's when a vampire found me on the outskirts of town and bit me." I stated in a tired voice.
In truth, to this day I don't know who the vampire was. The question always just hangs there waiting to be answered-
"Is that it?" said the jolly voice of Albus Dumbledore.
I raised an eyebrow at him.
A thought suddenly came up in my mind and almost immediately I acted on it. I put down my hands on my lap and stared at them like they were the only things in the world.
"I don't like talking about it."
Which was, partially the truth. Sometimes I really hated talking about it. My story wasn't exactly what one would call a 'happy ever after.'
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Dumbledore nodding sympathetically, mad eye was sputtering, and Snape's temple looked fit to burst.
Heh Heh.
I finally saw fit to look up.
Dumbledore was looking at me sadly and the others were looking at him as if he was insane.
"Yes, of course, I don't understand but I'm sure that it is a very sad tale. Well! As you might have noticed some of our order members are missing so I can't see fit to carry on this conversation. I am very certain this will not be the last time I see you but until next time, cheerio!"
Alex gaped at him. The last thing she saw was a mischevious twinkle in the old mans eye and everyone elses dumbfounded looks.
She felt a tug un her navel then, the next thing she knew, she was flat on her back staring up at the forest around her.
It by the same river too.
Not believing her luck she got up and ran straight to her house fully intending to take a long, hot shower.
Yes, I know it is terribly short but I'm pretty sure that the next one will be long. In the words of Albus Dumbledore: Cheerio!
