Ophelia Black ~ Harry Potter fanfic

Memory Lane pt.2

After quite a long ride we finally made it to Hogwarts. Hagrid had told me everything I needed to know while we were flying.

Apparently my parents were wizards and so am I!

He explained that the reason why I could make things happen when I was mad, scared or happy was because I'm a witch.

When we arrived at Hogwarts I couldn't help but stare at everything. The school was soooo big. Everything was so amazing, like something straight out of a story book.

We kept walking until we were infront of a big bird statue. There was a cute cat sitting infront of it.

"Ellor Profesor, Dumbledore is in his office I presume?" Hagrid asks the cat. I giggle at his foolishness.

"H-Hagrid cats can't talk." I say still laughing, when suddenly the cat turned into a woman. I got frightened and hid behind Hagrid, holding on to his arm.

"Yes that is correct, he is in the office waiting for you." The woman spoke. Then she turned her soft gaze towards me. "Hello there Ophelia, I've been waiting a very long time to see you again. I'm Profesor Mcgonagall." She smiled kindly.

I was still quite scared so I didn't say anything and just stayed behind Hagrid. I trusted Hagrid.

"Dont worry lil' one, no one here is gonna hurt ya. C'mon now, we best go meet Dumbledore." I followed behind him passing by the woman when suddenly the big bird statue started moving revealing a large staircase.

"Wow."  This place was amaaazing.

When we finally entered the office, there was a bearded old man and a man with long black hair dressed in all black clothing talking.

"Ah Hagrid, my friend, you've arrived. We've been waiting for you." The old man said.

"Sorry for the delay professor. Had a hard time finding the lil' one." Hagrid said, as I hid away behind him, clutching to his leg.

"It's nice to see you again, Ophelia." The old man greeted.

Again? I've never met anybody that wasn't Man or his mean friends.

"A-Again?" I ask confused. Surely I would remember meeting wizards?

"Well, yes. I met you when you were just a small baby with Profesor Mcgonagall."

"Really? D-Did you know my parents?! Were y-you friends with them?" I gasped excitedly as I look around. "Are they here now?" I ask, my mind racing with gazillion thoughts.

"I'm sorry Ophelia, I do not know who your parents are and I'm sorry to tell you that they're not here at the moment... I trust Hagrid informed you that you will be staying here at Hogwarts until we can find someone to take care of you, correct?"

"Yes, b-but... but what about Man? He'll be furious if I don't come back. He- he'll find me and... oh no I- I can't stay here, I'm sorry."

Stay here? Oh no, Man would be furious if I didn't come back. He will punish me when he finds me, and what if he finds out that Hagrid helped me, he'll be in danger!

"Oh don't you worry about him darling, you're never going back to that- that Man, we'll keep you safe." Profesor Mcgonagall said.

"R-really?... I don't have to see M-Man ever again?"

"Never again lil' one." Said Hagrid putting a comforting hand on my shoulder. I couldn't help but smile. I was so happy that I'd never have to see him again that I went and gave everyone a hug. Everyone hugging me back except for the man dressed in all black.
