I jolt up with a start.
Breathing heavily,I look around.
"I can't move my hand!" Hermione cries.
"It's okay, dear," says Madame Pomfry,"drink this. Megan, dear, how are you feeling?" I move my fingers, toes, head, arms, and feet. I twitch my nose and other facial features.
"Good," I say, smiling. Colin smiles across the room, laughing and moving his fingers.

Hermione, Colin, and I walk into the Great Hall, grinning madly. Ginny, Neville, Harry, and Ron run up to us. The boys hug us and take Hermione to the table. Ginny grabs me and hugs me tightly. Soon, I feel as if my shoulder is wet. Oh no, she's crying. "Gin, I'm fine."
"No, you could have died. It was all my fault." I sit patiently, rubbing her back soothingly. Hey, its what best friends are for.

I step off the train and begin to walk to the bus that will take me back to Surrey. Back to the Orphanage. Back to the muggle world. Back to Joey, Ero,and Alexander.
Back to Ms. Peters.
Oh crap.
