An Unexpected turn of event

I am to begin on a new school this term Hogwarts as what have my mentor told me about. I was pacing back and forth in the streets of London when thunder strikes and rain poured. Fragments of memories came flooding through my brain

"Aurgh" I let out a small faint grunt and suddenly a high pitch sound started to ring on my ears and I quickly covered them trying to block the static noise that I'm hearing.

"Aurora!", a faint voice called out my name.
I turned around and sa Fig with someone.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yes professor I'm quite alright." I lied, what happened made my head hurt like crazy.

"Come now we must leave for Hogwarts." He guided me towards the carriage and it appears that it is pulling itself.

I entered the carriage and Professor Fig sat down beside me as his friend from the ministry George sat across from me. George was also Miriam's friend. My heart sank as I reminice how Miriam made me feel loved and that I matter in this world after they've found me on the streets of London last year scavening for food. Miriam was a great teacher she also was an Auror a great one if one might tell. She did everything in her power to help me, I'd be lying to myself if I don't miss her at all she was like a mother to me.

"And who do is your young companion here Eleazar?" George asked.

"Ah this young woman here is Aurora, Aurora Weiss."

"Weiss you say-" George said as he fumbles to construct his words.

"What is it George?" Professor Fig asked.

"N-nothing, uh anyway Eleazar I have important matters I need to tell you."George ssid

I gaze through the glass window as we ascend to the clouds, wait something does not feel right but I don't know what it is.

"I Have found something that was in Miriam's possessions as I was clearing out her office the other day." George said as he handed out a small metal case with a weird symbol on it.

"So this is what she was searching for, I remember Miriam saying that she had found some sort of Ancient Magic-" Fig examines the case that George just handed.

"Ancient Magic?" George looks rather confused.

"Yes, it appears that it is a very old  kind of magic and that it isn't being practiced any longer." Professor Fig said as he continues to examine the case.

"This symbol, it looks rather odd." Fig took a closer look at it and as I look closely to the object as well, there is this faint blue glow that is starting to emmit from the symbol.

"Professor what is that glow on that symbol?" I asked.

"A glow?" George said sounding a bit confused.

"There is some sort of glow that is emmiting from the symbol that is embedded." I explained.

"Here, why don't you take it." Professor Fig handed me tha case and as soon as I have touched it opened.

"Merlin's beard it opened." George was very astonished as he mentioned that he tried every kind of magic that can unlock things but there was no progress with this object.

Suddenly a loud flap can be heard from outside.

"Oh Merlin!" George cried out.

"A Dragon?" Professor Fig was in disbelief on what he was seeing.

"I Don't believe it! But why is it here."
