The Eyes of Hogwarts || T.M.R.

Chapter 4: Dormitory

'hello Princess, are you enjoying your food'

Maya jumped slightly in her seat. Aakash looked at her asking her what happened, "oh it's nothing"

'Goodness, you would give me a heart attack! And no, not quite, I am just used to.................... let's say I am used to food a bit more....seasoned, to say the least.'

'Okay then princess, I would be sure to make it to your liking next time.'

'How would you.....make it? aren't you supposed to be a spirit or something?'

' It's a bit more complicated than that...'

' How are you even getting into my head?'

The last time someone had attempted mind reading on her, they had gone into shock......her grandma had told her that it was probably because of the chaos magic that created a barrier around her mind and soul. So, it was quite confusing why this was happening.

' The hairpin, which is actually a crown, allows me to communicate to you, otherwise I am not able to talk to anyone on my will, really. You are the first person I talked to in all of the years after Rowena and Helga died.'

'Who are those 2? Who's Rowena? You keep saying her name.'

'Well if you had listened to the hat you might have understood but a long long time ago 4 friends............

The spirit of Hogwarts told her all about how Hogwarts was made, how they decided that if someone appeared who fit into all the houses but none at the same time, they should be put in the All-house. He told her that he was created to serve her, he was like an AI but made of and from magic, although she thought it was quite strange as to why she was getting such special treatment, he didn't know who or what she was anyway. She was also told that she would live in a separate dorm, whose doors can be opened anywhere in the castle.

After Dinner, all students lined up to go to their respective dorms.

'you have to tell Dumble'

'who?'

'Dumbledore'

Maya snickered. She patted Akash on his back to get his attention.

" I have to talk to Professor Dumbledore, ok? bye!" and then she ran away. The poor guy was left confused and surprised yet again.

By the time she got Dumbledore to listen to her alone, half of the teachers had left.

" Yes, Miss Chowdhury what were you saying? "

" Listen sir can I talk to you in private?"

"Of course, of course...."

They headed out into the corridors, and Dumbledore started leading her to his office.

" What is it, my dear?"

" Ok so, turns out I don't fit in any of the houses."

There was a twinkle in his eyes " Now now, you might feel you don't belong in your house, but trust me, you will soon find many new friends...-"

"You don't understand, do you? The hat put me in this house called the 'All-house', now I have to be in Ravenclaw so that no one knows about it, apparently the pink lady would like that." "Please believe me," she added at the end, knowing how bizarre it might sound.

" I believe you, now please step in, we don't want the pink lady to listen in. That rhymed!" he was again smiling his kind smile.

Maya looked to see a giant Gryphon statue. "Sherbert Lemons"
