chapter 7: hogwarts

Daisy Lerner's pov:

I looked around. Where was I? It looked like I was at Hogwarts, but that was impossible.

I noticed that I was in the hallway, surrounded by other students, and I walked around, trying to see if the students could see me too. I bumped into someone, and they turned around. It was Draco Malfoy. He grabbed my wrist and threatened to send Fenrir Greyback after me if I bumped into him one more time. I snatched my wrist back and walked away from him, while slipping a Dungbomb into his bag while he was distracted. Then I noticed someone else at the other end of the hallway. It was Luna Lovegood.

She was even more beautiful in person than in the Harry Potter movies. She reminded me of the pretty girl in my Zoom class, Ava Fountain. They are both very lovely. Then I noticed yet another person I recognized. It was Ava Fountain! I walked as quickly as I could across the hallway to say hello to her.

I was so excited. Here was someone who could help me figure out what was going on and how I had somehow travelled to Hogwarts. I finally reached the part of the hallway that Ava was in.

I smiled at her shyly. She was so pretty, and I got distracted by her beauty for a moment before I remembered why I had approached her. After we said hello to each other, I asked her what was going on. She didn't want to talk about it here, so we went to her empty dorm room to discuss the situation. We sat next to each other on her bed, and our legs were almost touching since the bed was not very wide. She explained to me that she thought we had shifted here unknowingly, but we couldn't tell anyone, in case Dumbledore found out that we had shifted here and decided to punish us. I agreed with everything she said and we left the dorm room together to attend our classes.

This was so exciting! I had dreamed of shifting to Hogwarts for so long. I was not too worried about being caught and punished by Dumbledore because I knew that I had my new friend Ava Fountain. She made me feel so happy. Unfortunately, I had not gotten a chance to see Luna since the first time I had seen her. She was a Ravenclaw, and I was a Hufflepuff. I planned to approach her at lunch one day and talk to her, but I was too shy to do that just yet. Still, until I could talk to Luna, I was very happy to spend all my time with Ava. She made my heart warm every day that I spent with her.

One day, I talked to someone new, someone I had never talked to before. It was Harry James Potter. He seemed relieved that I wanted to talk to him, as everyone else believed he had lied about the return of Lord Voldemort. I gasped, realizing that I had to decide whether to warn him about Sirius's death or not. What should I do?
