Chapter Five ~ Explain
The rest of the day passed in a haze, us four flitting from class to class, chatting at every chance we got. The conversations mainly consisted of the way, and time I had arrived at Hogwarts in the middle of the Forbidden Forest. Other topics we chose to touch on were Sirius Black, Snape's curious hostility towards Professor Lupin, and the dread of Hagrid's first Care of Magical Creatures lesson; in which Malfoy had almost broken his arm, and Harry had flown a Hippogriff.
"So Shannon, tell me again. What do you remember?" Harry whispered to me.
We were in the Gryffindor common room; Fred, George and Ginny had a very intense game of Exploding Snap going on, while Neville was frantically writing his essay for Professor Lupin.
"I told you Harry! I fell asleep at home, woke up in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid found me, I fainted, he carried me up to the school, into the hospital wing. I don't know how I got here at all!" I sighed exasperatedly.
"Sorry, sorry!" he mumbled.
"It's alright, you're just trying to help, but I get sick of repeating the story."
"I know how you feel. In my first year I did some pretty amazing stuff and everyone made me repeat what had happened. I…"
I cut him off; I knew where he was going with this.
"Yea yea, I know! You stopped Voldemort from getting the Philosopher's stone. You also got past Fluffy, the plant thing, those keys, the chess set, the potions riddle, and the Mirror of Erised. Then you woke up in the hospital wing, and Fred and George tried to bring you a toilet seat."
"What! How do you know all that! I thought you were new! How can you know!" Harry shouted.
"I am new! Well, Kind of!" I cried back.
"Explain. Now." Harry slumped back into his chair, and looked at me intently. He was waiting. I had to tell him.
"Well" I started, taking a deep breath "There is this woman called J.K. Rowling."
