Stranger In A Strange World by Theskyatdawn2

Chapter 2

The sun was shining in my eyes, when I woke up. I remembered what happened and how I got here last night. This is such a strange occurrence. Why me, I wonder? I sat up and looked around. I felt different inside of myself, something changed inside of me while I slept. I am aware of my surroundings, like a scent or sense of some kind of energy coming from inside. I'm not scared of it, just curious of what it would be.

I looked in every piece of furniture for clothes to wear and went downstairs to look for food. I started to wander around, and the house had so many rooms in it. The longer I looked the hungrier I got, and lost and turned around. Wait, don't you just call for Dilly by name, didn't she say that, that's if I remember correctly? So, I looked around a little longer. This place is really big.

"Dilly?" I called.

"Yous call for Dilly?"

"Yes, please Dilly, can I get some breakfast and find my way back to my bedroom? I am sorry but I am lost. It's such a big place."

"You no have to apologize to Dilly. She take you back to other wing and gets you food. Dilly likes how nice you is to Dilly."

"Let's just walk to get familiar with the manor? You led the way." I smiled at her.

While we walked for a few minutes, I said, "Why do you keep saying that you like how I talk to you? Don't people say please and thank you to you, for you doing things for them? How many other elves are here?"

"I's just a house elf, we just do as told. We who serves the Blackthorne family are six."

"Well, I am not like other people you have known. I would like to meet the others, but I will always treat all of you kindly and with respect. The way all magical people and beings should be treated."

All of a sudden, she threw herself at me and started wailing, hugging the stuffing out of me. She starts crying real loud, "Ahhhh ha ha ha…..Dilly never been talked to or treated like this! Ahhh ha haha!"

"Dilly! Dilly! Hush now, it's ok, it's ok!" I knelt down to pat her on the back. "Hush now, hush!"

"You is such a good mistress to Dilly", she wiped her tears and blew her nose on the towel she was wearing. Ewww….

When we got to the dining table the breakfast foods were already laid out. I sat down to eat. I asked Dilly how I could send a letter to Gringott's and how to be able to get to Gringott's without difficulty. She explained that we had a few owls for mail and that she would take me anywhere I needed to go until I was comfortable doing it on my own.

I explained to her that I have memory problems remembering anything. I asked about how my parents died and where I have been.

She told me that my mother died when I was born and my father died last month from a heart condition. I was supposed to have been traveling the world for many years being taught by nannies and tutors. I guess, I was moved every year to six months from what she said. Maybe it was all to protect me from dark wizards. She said I was 18 years old, Wow. Funny, I was 25 in my own world, but who cares, at least I'm an adult.

I also found out that it was January 23, 1983. Which means, Voldemort was dead for now, Harry was about 2 years old at the Dursleys, Sirius Black was in Azkaban Prison and Severus Snape was a professor at Hogwarts with Dumbledore, at this point in time. Well according to the book.
