The headmaster finally walked in the room to see the three young people he had found just outside the Main Doors of Hogwarts, and that one of them was finally awake. "How are we doing today Miss..?" "Harlen, Anali Harlen, sir, you must be the present headmaster of this school am I wrong?" "You are correct Miss Harlen. My name is Albus Dumbledore, present Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." I simply nodded as my suspicions were most definitely confirmed. Then I wondered' if Dumbledore is still alive, then that mean, oh hell this cannot...' The headmaster pulled me out of my thoughts once more. "Miss Harlen if you would be able to tell me how you and your friends came to be found just outside the castle doors, now would be the time I believe?" At that, I looked up and was trying to figure out how to best explain what had just happened to me and my friends. At that moment a memory came to me, of the seventh book where the Pensive was mentioned, and I still remembered what it was and what it did. At that I had a decision to make, show the headmaster what had happened, or merely tell him, but I was still quite tired, so I knew the Pensive was the only choice. I tried to sit up a little more, wincing in pain as I did so. "Headmaster?, though I do not have a wand, if you would be so kind to help me extract the memory of what I know to have happened, that would be your best explanation" He looked at me with a look I could not figure out, but then he nodded. "This explanation should wait then, I think, as you need to recover from your ordeal, whatever that ordeal happened to be" he spoke with a twinkle in his eyes, one I remembered from the books quite well, and I was relieved. At that moment Madam Porphyry stepped in, and ordered me to go back to resting. I made a face at her, but nodded, as I was still tired. I asked if there were any restrooms nearby, and Madam Pomphrey led me to one as the Headmaster left the room, I took care of my business there, but stayed put as I heard some other people enter the room. I stayed quiet, on instinct, as the two came into the Hogwarts infirmary. I heard Madam Pomphrey speak to the two and then one of them left, then the mediwitch talked more with the second person who was still in the room, it sounded like a guy, maybe my age or so. When Madam Pomphrey went into her office, I took the chance and went back to bed, but ran straight into the boy on my way back. "Whoops so sorry about that." I look up and mentally gasped, this boy was indeed Harry Potter. "Its okay, just slow down next time okay?" he seemed like a nice kid, a little on the shy side though. His green eyes matched more the book description than the movie, and he was really skinny, almost like he hadn't been eating much or something, it made me sad as I remembered what had happened to Harry in the books before he came to Hogwarts, and I hoped I could get him out of that situation. I came out of my thoughts as he asked me my name" what oh sorry I was lost in thought, my name is Anali, and you are?" he smiled, still a little shy, "I'm Harry" he said "just Harry" I smiled at that, as I knew he did not want the fame involved with being "The Boy Who Lived" I spoke again" well nice to meet you ~Just Harry~" he smiled at that, but then he saw I was about to speak again." I best be back to bed before Madam Pomphrey has some not so nice words about me not resting like I am supposed to" I smiled at him, then went back behind the privacy screens hiding me and my two best friends.
