Sierra is one of the magical creatures who can bend the earth and who were almost wiped out of existence. Then she comes to Hogwarts, where she becomes something between a student and a magical creature. After a while she meets Matthew and the rest...
I can hear two women's voices in the room, slowly waking me up.
"When will she be better?" one of them asks in a worried voice.
"I don't know yet." The other woman's voice is different, also worried, but softer than the first. The room is silent for a moment and then I hear one of them leave. She opens the door and the room fills with noise from outside.
"When she wakes up, please take her to Albus." she says before closing the door. I wait a moment to make sure no one is in the room so I can open my eyes.
When I do, I see that I'm in a room that looks like a hospital. Bright stone walls, a number of beds with foot tables beside them, and a few glass cabinets containing various vials and bandages. Next to the bed I am lying in is a chair with a light striped coat draped over it, and on the table is a burnt out candle, some bloody bandages and a bowl of dirty water. I sit up carefully and lean against the headboard. I notice that most of my wounds have healed, all the bruises are gone and my body no longer feels like it has been run over by a centaur. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice the old lady had returned.
"You're awake, that's good." She says, going to one of the cupboards and taking out a small box and a larger one.
"How are you feeling, any pain?" she continues, sitting down on the chair next to my bed. I hesitate to answer for a moment, just watching what she does. She just looks at me and raises her eyebrows slightly, a sign that she is waiting for an answer.
"Well, I don't know, I don't think that I'm in any pain,
" I answer, looking down at my hands that are still bandaged, "although I do have a bit of a headache.
"That's to be expected," she opens a jar, takes out some pills and hands them to me, then uses her wand to fill an empty glass with water and hands it to me as well.
"Here, drink this." She says to me and I do as she says.
"What's your name?" she asks while I'm still drinking. I finish my water and hand the glass back to her.
"Siera Blake." I answer and she just smiles at me sweetly. I don't know what I was expecting then, maybe a name or where I am, I know what happened but I don't know how I got here and I was wondering that too, for the hell of it. I heard the door open slowly, but I didn't pay any attention.
"Miss Parkinson, I was wondering when you would arrive."
"I'm sorry, the last lesson was a bit overtime," but by then she was a bit closer to me and I took a good look at her, she could have been as old as me even though she was a few inches taller than me, she had short cropped dark hair, pale blue eyes and wore a school uniform of a grey skirt and waistcoat over a white shirt with a green striped tie and a black coat that probably didn't belong to the uniform no more. Overall she looked beautiful, the lady handed her the small box.
"Is this it?" She asked, looking surprised.
"Yes, always put it on in the evening, when it gets cold it works." She replied, getting ready to leave.
"Oh, and lest I forget, would you mind escorting Miss Blake to the headmaster's office?" She requested and left the room. We just looked at each other.
"I'm Pansy," she said, offering me her hand. I accepted and she helped me up. I was right, she really is taller than me.
"Siera." I answer her and we walk out of the room together.
"So who are you?" I'm not sure what to say to her, the fact that I'm a earth bender is getting me into some kind of trouble, so I just keep my mouth shut.
"I'm just saying you're not from around here." I nodded.
"No, not from here."
"Let me guess, you live by the sea, don't you? No, not there, it's somewhere closer to..."
"Where are we?" I cut her off in mid-sentence and she looks at me in surprise.
" We are at Hogwarts, it is one of the best wizarding schools in the world, most of the famous wizards have studied at this school," then she started naming some names that I didn't know and other interesting things about the school, but I was not paying attention to her, this place looks incredible.
"Pansy, Pansy wait!" we both hear someone call and run towards us. Pansy stops first and I do the same.
"The project, we have to finish today." A boy about our age, with brown hair that hasn't been cut in a while, brown puppy eyes, and the same uniform as Pansy, with a black sweater over it, runs up to us.
"I can't right now." She says, leaning her head towards me.
"Hi." He greets me, his eyes scanning me as he stops at my feet.
"Hi."
"Cool jacket, where are your shoes?" He asks, and they both give me that odd look.

"I'm not really wearing them." I reply, looking down at the floor.
"Are you sure it's been getting colder lately?" I wanted to say something.
"Please don't be delay, go and do whatever you have to do and meet me in the library in half an hour." Pansy says, gesturing for us to go in.
"Half an hour, what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to put some other clothes on," she replies, and we continue on our way. He stood there for a while, as if he wanted to tell us something, but then he walked away.
"That was Enzo, we haven't even been at school for a month and he's already stressing about finals." She grinned at her comment.
"Cute." I say in a lower voice.
"No, it's annoying, trust me." We walk down another corridor and then up the stairs until we stop in front of a large wooden door.
"We're here," she says, looking at the watch on her wrist, "I've got to go, see you at dinner." She says, giving me a thumbs up before turning the other way.
