Here is the Wizarding World! Remember, I don't own the Harry Potter series, I'm just borrowing without permission :)
*****
It was cold, why is the room so cold? The bed, it feels like dirt. My eyes are still closed Ah! I feel horrible! My head is throbbing my back hurt and my skin felt scraped in several places. Whats wrong with me? God were am I? I groped to feel were I was I felt something prick my palm "Ah!" I'm stung, what stung me? My eyes flew open, then widened. I'm in a forest, thick with fog and trees with large twisted roots,No...impossible, no!it was night and I could see little flicks and darts of movement everywhere. A sting redirected the attention to my hand, which I realized was red and swelling. I found myself panicking and crying with the overwhelming enviorment and pain. I wrapped my arms around myself. Dear God! My cloths! I felt my face and felt a scar What's this? I felt the pattern across the right side of my face. I felt it go around my scalp and down to the base of my neck Who did this?I tried to remember what could've happened ...Who am I?....I-I don't know who I am. I heard distant voices Who'd be out here? I frowned as my mind answered the question. I decided to quietly fallow the voices, Maybe they'll lead me to other people. I thought as I walked towards the voices. I tried to be quiet but apparently it didn't work.
"Lumos!" a man shouted behind me.
I jumped three feet as I turned to face him. There was a blinding light but when my eyes adjusted I saw the man behind the light. He was tall in strange black cloths, his face was cold and hard with a hawk nose and greasy black hair that went down to his shoulders, his thin lips were scowling if not talking.
"Who are you?" he demanded
"I-I don't know." The other man scowled then saw the girl clearly a wave of shock quickly came and went.
"Severus!" said an older voice " Who is it?"
" I'm not sure Albus." Severus lowered his wand and stepped back, his face was emotionless. I realized the light came from a fancy stick he was holding.
Albus wore more colorful cloths, he froze when he saw me "Merlin, Se-"
My head throbbed and I felt my hand pulsing I rose it to show them and block the annoying light. "Please! I need help! I don't know where I am, I don't know how I got here!" I found myself crying again.
Albus came to me and touched my arm. "Merlin, your cold!" He hugged me, I hugged him back. He felt soft and warm. "Severus we need to get her to Poppy."
Severus nodded "Do you think she is healthy enough for Apperation?"
"Are you suggesting we walk, Severus?" Albus asked.
"When apperating, it puts significant pressure on the body." Severus said I wondered what apperating was. "Perhaps I should get Poppy and apperate back here professor."
Albus frowned, Severus's face remained emotionless. "It seems like the safest way, Albus."
"Yes, staying here? Look at her hand Severus! That was most likely from a-"
"Please."I said "Just get me there."
" Of course." He looked at Severus but spoke to me " Hold on." and spun on his heal.
Everything spun the air was knocked out of me and there was an extreme pressure on my body. My head went crazy. When my feet found solid ground I collapsed. I heard Albus shout "Poppy!" as nurses lifted me up onto a cot.
An older woman appeared, "Merlin Albus! What-" There was a pop, Severus appeared and looked at me, he began to blur, I felt dizzy, faint and flooding in pain.
I heard a distant " So I am correct, I stopped..." the words grew fainter and fainter as I closed my eyes until it was gone. I needed to sleep, I felt like there was something pulling me into darkness.
"No!" I felt a cold hand beneath my chin and jaw line lifting it "Open your mouth." I herd an old woman say, I obeyed and felt an icy liquid pour down my throat. I choked at the uncomfortable drink ,"Easy now, deary."
I didn't open my eyes, "I'm so tired...please...let me sleep." I realized the pain was numbed, I barely felt it.
There was silence "This is worse then I thought."
"That's..not good." I said absent mindedly "I look pretty bad don't I?Then if-"
"Hush dear, it's nothing I can't handle. Just stay awake with us for awhile."
Before I said anything I heard Severus's voice "Poppy, as I said, I brought a potion that should help keep her awake and help her immune system. Obvioulsy she is vunrable."
There was silance voice was as cold and dark as his apperance, Why is he so depressing? It's kinda scary. , I wondered. I jerked and my eyes broke open when I felt abnormaly cold fingers on my chin. I saw the dark man with a light purple liquid in a flask. "Be still!"he said harshly "I don't want you to spill the potion!" Potion? "Drink." He said firmly and poured the luke-warm drink into my mouth. It felt good going down my throat after the uncomfterble icy one.
He moved away as soon as the flask was empty. "Of course, Poppy, if there is already an infection she could get a fever or cold."
Poppy looked at me worried then to the two men, "What happened? How'd you find her?" She looked at me "This doesn't look like his doing.".
His? I wondered
Albus looked at me "Severus thought we were being fallowed, but ..." he looked back at the head nurse " She, too obviously, needed help. She doesn't seem to remember herself or her previous experiences."
"Well, there is medicine for memory but we have to be carefull right now." She looked at me, "Wait..." she walked towards me "Albus look at this symbol on her face."
Albus came over to me then sighed " Traders."
"The quacks by the look of it." said Poppy.
Albus shook his head, and looked at me with a face full of sympathy and sorrow." My dear, you've been a victim of-". All of a sudden Severus trew his arms out his dark clothing concealing me. What?
Then I heard a younger girl's voice, "Nurse! Neville fell on the stairs!"
" I think I broke my wrist!" said a equally young but scared and masculine voice...or boyish...didn't really sound masculine.
"Not again!" a nurse moved in the background but i couldn't see much with Severus hiding me.
Severus grimaced, he looked like a large black bird defending is dinner. I shivered thinking I was his dinner. They must have noticed because Albus, already next to me, pulled a blanket folded at the foot of the bed over me. Severus didn't lower his arms.
"Severus, she is covered. You can lower your arms."
"Do you wish to have students gawking at her scars, Headmaster? Or at a mask?"
He was so emotionless, it was strange, I became curios as to why he acted the way he did. That and why his hair looked so greasy, He bathed right? He didn't smell.
Albus nodded and everyone looked over looked over at the two students, "Hermione, I think you can go back you your classroom." I heard a nervous squeak. Albus smiled "Relax Neville, you'll be fine."
Neville, Severus, Hermione, what weird names. I wonder what strange name they might give me. Athena? Lyhr? And who's Merlin? Is he some god or just a really important guy in history?
"Can't you heal the stupid boy any faster?"
"Do not judge me in my job, Severus! I'm sure this boy here could say a few things about the way you teach!"
There was silence, Severus glaring at someone, I couldn't tell. "N-no. Not really." said Neville
Albs chuckled and Poppy announced " All done! You got to be more careful on the steps Neville."
" Yes miss." I heard Neville's somewhat footsteps leave the room.
