Chapter 2

Their heads snapped up to look at me and I felt my cheeks get red. I had completly forgotten my lack of clothing...

"Professor, would you please gather the rest of the heads of houses, and meet me in the Great Hall in about twenty minutes, please?" Dumbledor said calmly.

Snape looked from me to Dumbledor, then me again, then turned and left.

Dumbledor waved his long wand and muttered a simple spell that sent a door down the hall flinging open and a cloak soaring down to us. I landed atop my back, and i quickly snuggled into it and got up, covering myself with it.

"Now, if you would, Ms. Rookridge, follow me." He said simply. I stood, shocked beyond words that he knew my last name, then angry that he didn't answer my question, then confused as to why he hadn't asked me questions.

He turned, and began to walk down the corridor. I followed him. The castle...it was beyond words...the movie didn't even portray the simplest feel...it felt ancient, but magical...it was gorgeous, and ominous at the same time...

We walked onward. Up a couple flights of stairs, and down a few more corridors, when, finally, we came to a ladder that led up into the ceiling.

"Professor Trelawney, would you please come down and meet Niekyra. It has been rumored that you have been expecting her arrival for some time now." Dumbledor said, looking sideways at the portraits on the walls. A couple of the pictures smiled at me sweetly, others stared, wide-eyed, as if I was some kind of freak. The pictures were so strange...it wasn't like a movie screen, you could see the canvas, but the paints seemed to swirl upon it, and the inhabitants seemed to ripple as they moved across the rugged canvas.

After a couple of seconds, the trap door at the top of the ladder flung open and a thin woman with long robes and beaded necklaces stepped down. She looked at me curiously, the shuddered. "Are...are you really...from a different dimension?" She asked, stuttering in amazement.

"Um...yes. Yes, I am." I said awkwardly.

"Then everything else I have told the portraits to tell you, Dumbledor, was true." She said. Then, nodding slightly to me, she crawled back up into her room.

"I apologize for her abruptness, Niekyra. She is very weary of the abnormal." Dumbledor said, turning around and going back the way we had come.

"Professor...what year is it?" I asked, chewing my lip.

"What do you mean? The year? What is your concern with the year? I would think, I deserve a couple answers myself, Niekyra." He said kindly.

"Um, you can call me Nikki, and I mean...urg...what year is Harry in?" I rushed the last part, knowing, as soon as it was out of my mouth, that it was kinda rude.

"Hmmm...I would imagine he should be arriving in a few hours with the other first years." Dumbledor said absentmindedly, as if I wasn't facing serious confusion right now.

"WHAT!? But he's...then how..." I began. He cut me off.

"Nikki. I have read through your mind already. You have immense powers. But what you did, jumping universes like that, should not have been possible. You did it at exactly the perfect time. The turn of a new millions of years. The pure luck that you didn't miss your opportunity was amazingly lucky. But, I also came across why you wanted, and how you knew, this universe was here...that it was possible...a book...a book series. If my guess is correct, you are very familiar with this time. When Harry is to begin school." We continued walking as he spoke. he seemed deep in thought. "So, that is where you were sent. But, what you havn't put into consideration now...you're changing it...you must stay away from Harry. I know you are a friendly person who just wished to go to school here, but, no matter what occurs...try not to tell him...he survived certain situations through luck and fear...if you take away the mystery of it...then you're messing with time...if you must tell people, then please know everything you have read is being changed. Everything. But try and save as many people as possible. I am ot meaning me. I am meaning, good people died of the turn out of what it is you know. Save them. And if Harry does find anything out, explain this to him. That is not how it will end." We were stopped, stnading outside the Great Hall now. "Now as for other arrangements, you will be sorted like everyone else. And just like everyone else, you will be granted points, and deducted points. But, unlike other students, in order for you to keep track of the changes in the story, you are allowed out past curfew, unless I personally say otherwise, and you are granted access to the restricted section in the library. Because, unlike even many of the seventh years, you can comprehend them. For now, Professor McGonagall will take you to get some clothes and a wand after I open the floo network to the school."

Then he waved his wand and the doors to my future opened.

I'm sorry I haven't written a direct writers note until now XD this is my first ever story, so I'm still learning the ropes here. I also apologize that this is not a very good story idea, but we all have to start somewhere. I have plans for almost everything basically with this story...except time waisters...like, what would be a good hobby or something for Nikki? (I know she has the same name as my profile, but it is not my real name, it's just my favorite name ever, so I love using it.) If you have any advice, I would be totally grateful for it. But i DO NOT want a bunch of haters reviews. I KNOW its not very good, but it's something to do on my spare time and I enjoy writing. So you telling me it sucks and to not ever try writing again won't do anything.

I am aware that i rated it M. For now, there has, and will not be much of that content for a long while. She's only eleven! But I intend on going through all 7 years, so the content does mature. I'm not exactly sure how much, but I rated it highest just in case. Worse case here, I should have rated it one down. But again, just being careful.

Thank you to my 1 follower! my first ever! Madmick74! Lol.

Anyways, yes, reveiw if you can, I look forward to your advice and will update the next chapter as soon as i get done typing it!
