Did you forget?

She stops. She breathes. She looks around.

Where was she?

Do you remember?

She looks around the white oblivion she's surrounded in. She had no clue where she was and where she was going.

She continues to walk straight but doesn't see nor feel direction. She's trapped in a place between place and time.

She's there; but she's not.

Do you remember who you are?

She stops.

Where is she?

Where is she going?

Who is she?

"Immortal? Are you sure?"

"It's beyond anything I've ever heard of and my understanding. But this would be the best explanation, yes."

The girl sighs as she leans back against her chair. A hand comes up to scoop her own hair out of her face as she starts laughing.

"So.. so I won't die?"

"Not unless of old age, no."

"That's insane. I've felt pain before. There's no way." She retorts, breathlessly choking on a laugh. "You must've gotten something wrong."

"Miss (L/n), you're in denial. It's not uncommon in our world. You know this."

"But Professor-"

He raises a hand to stop her from continuing further.

"It seems you're more powerful than you think, Miss (L/n)." He says. "I'd be happy to continue your studies with you further until you're ready to traverse between realms."

The girl stays silent for a solid minute. This was all too much to take in.

"If I agree, you will help me control this power?" She finally asks.

"I'll teach you what I know. For you, dear, might hold more power than I." Her professor replies. "Of course, I can only teach you to control other powers. Your immortality is the first I've seen, which should not be approached recklessly."

"How does one.. control immortality?"

Her professor laughs.

"Touché. I suppose it could be possible. Again, like I said. It's beyond even my understanding."

"But you'll guide me through this before I leave, right..?"

"I will. That's a promise, Miss (L/n)."

"Okay. I'm in."

-----

She can't help but hear a faint echo in every step she takes.

How long has it been?

Will she ever leave this never-ending pureness and white?

"You have to go, (Y/n). Now."

"What? Already?! But the programme-"

Her professor shakes his head.

"There's no time. You must go, now." He replies. "I fear he's returned quicker than we anticipated."

"He? Who's he?" She panicks frantically, her professor flipping through his textbooks, citing incantations.

A portal opens up.

"Sir..?"

"I've taught you for years now. I know you're capable of doing this." His gaze doesn't leave hers, but the portal was flashing a white eerie glow. "Go. Now!"

"H-How do I come back?! I.. I'm not ready!" She panicks.

"You'll be back once your mission is over. You've got this, (Y/n)."

Finally giving her professor a nod, she rushes up to hold him in a tight embrace.

"Thank you.. for everything." She says. "I won't let you down."

"I know you won't." He smiles.

With a final look, she turns and heads through the portal.

-----

"Ah. Miss (L/n). There you are." She turns to see an old man with white hair and a long whit beard staring at her. Looking around, she realizes she doesn't know where she is.

"Yes. I'm here." She plays along.

"You're just in time. Professor McGonagall will get you sorted into your house."

"Right. Okay." She says again. In reality, she has no idea what was going on.

"Oh, I'm sure you'll love it here!" He says. "I'm Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of the school. You don't know how excited we are to have you here."

"It's a pleasure, really, sir. Um." She doesn't know how much he knows. And she's not sure if she should ask. "Where are we, again?"

"Ah, my apologies. Did your professor not let you know?"

"My.. professor?"

"Professor Everette. You're his student, correct?"

"Yes, sir."

"Great! So you'll do just fine here." There's a slight twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes, and she can't help but think he knows more than he should. "He, who shall not be named, has returned. Our school is in grave danger. We could really use your help."

Ah. So he does know.

"I'm aware, sir. But why me?"

"That's for you to figure out yourself, for even I do not know the answer." He replies. "Come along now, or else we'll be late for the feast."

-----

"Hey. Are you okay?"

The boy flinches. "I'm fine. What's a Ravenclaw like you talking to a Slytherin like me."

"We're both human, still." She smiles. "I'm (Y/n) (L/n). You are?"

The boy remains silent, leaning against the edge of the astronomy tower.

"Draco Malfoy."
