Chap 2
I flew through the portal and landed on a hard, rough floor. The swing was nowhere to be seen. I saw two glittering, silver eyes (that is the only way to describe them) veering over me. After that I blacked out.
"Crazy! How did it happen? And to a muggle-born girl too." At the sound of the word muggle I opened my eyes. I was in a room with stone walls and portraits all around. The portraits were moving! After taking in the shock of that, I was awake enough to realize that I was lying on an unfamiliar bed with white sheets. Next to me was a vial of some kind and there were two people talking nearby. I could see them through the corner of my eye. I was too tired to move my head. The first person (probably the person who had spoken earlier) looked sort of like a nurse. The second person was an old man with sparkling blue eyes and a long flowing white beard. He was wearing robes of some sort.
Then it hit me! He might be Dumbledore from the Harry Potter books and the lady could be Madam Pomfrey. But then that would mean that I was inside Hogwarts!
I slowly sat up, shaking with the effort. The lady, Madam Pomfrey as I was beginning to think of her as, briskly walked over and began to get out an enormous chunk of chocolate. She broke off a piece with a small hammer and handed it to me.
"Eat." She said. "We'll explain everything later. Right now you need to rest."
"No. First she must understand. She can rest later." Said the Dumbledore-like man, gliding over. Even though he was so old, he moved very gracefully. "As I understand, your name is Ashley Doyles. Am I correct?" The old man asked.
I nodded, still shaking like crazy. On an impulse I took a bite out of the chocolate without thinking. Suddenly I felt calm and warm. I felt better then I had in a long time.
The old man then continued, "Somehow, for a reason I will speak of only later, a dark wizard tried to summon you to him through a portal. I fear this may just be the first of many times this happens." I gaped at him, unsure of what he meant and whether I really wanted to even know. "Unfortunately for him, as soon as you passed out your mind created another portal which pulled you into it and somehow dropped you off in my office." Although I still felt shocked, I realized that there were no portals in the Harry Potter books. No portals at all. Was all this a dream? Dumbledore continued, "I must say, I've never heard of a magic quite like yours before but I do believe that you're a witch. So now you will be going to Hogwarts. Those American Wizarding Schools always miss the muggle-born witches and wizards. I went to your home and explained this to your parents. They were worried but they will tell your friends and other family that you're at boarding school. The new school year begins in two days. You will stay here until then. After that you will join your house in wherever they sleep for the rest of the school year. Now I must go. I have much to do." And with that he exited the room.
