Why me?

Chapter 4

As we were arriving at the castle i looked over my shoulder to see the silk black horse pull away as we all got off the carriage and i felt a shudder run down my spine as if seeing them was not a good thing but i couldn't help but feel at peace when i looked at them as if they felt somewhat familiar to me.

"Luna" i speak out as i see that she has started to walk to the castle, i quicken my pace to catch up with her. "Luna," i say again this time she stops and looks at me with this soft look on her face. "Is it a bad thing to see... what did you call them..." i stuttered in my speech its on the tip of my tongue.

"Theastrals" She answers for me and i nod a bit frantic like. "Yes is it bad to see those, no one else can see them and you said e can only see them if we have witnessed death and i haven't or not that im aware of anyway," I ask her as well as explain my own though the process of how i shouldn't be able to see these magnificent creatures.

"Are you sure you haven't witnessed death as that is the only way to see them" She explains further with a worried but curious look on her face you can barely notice it he face is always soft looking like nothing can bug her or upset her, she seems like the type of person to not underestimate on certain occasions.

"Not that im aware of" I tell her trying to think of anything, "though i have been beaten half to death a few times" i whisper to myself not realizing i spoke that aloud. I just hope that Luna didn't hear me even if she did i doubt she would bring it up.

"Let me see what i can find out for you about why you're seeing them but its most likely you witnessed death and suppressed the memory" She explains as she starts to wander away from and skips her way into the castle. As i watched her leave i noticed that she seemed so gentle in every movement that she does i have never met anyone like her before and im kinda glad that i met her. After a second i realise that i need to do my own research on these creatures and possibly this entire wizarding world i need to understand this place because it makes no sense to me as to why I'm here, i don't possess any magical abilities.

I start to follow the crowd into the castle still those creatures and the reason of why i can see them is swirling around in my head I'm barely focusing on what I'm doing I've nearly tripped while going up some stairs because i wasn't focusing. 

I got pulled out of my thoughts due to literally being pulled out of the crowd. I was about to yell at whoever pulled on my arm and dragged me away from people but then i looked up and they looked like a teacher so i decided to keep my mouth shut on this occasion. 

"Miss Rose sorry for the absurdity about pulling you from the crowd but i did try calling your name you must not have heard me, i am Professor McGonagall, and im here to take you into the hall to get sorted into your house" The woman that stands before me explains, im not entirely sure what to say to her so i just nod a little so she knows i was listening well partially listening. "Right well follow me then Miss Rose let's get you sorted into your house which will become like your family". Then all of a sudden i remembered something.

"You were the one that found me in the shed and told me to come here how did i forget that it was you" I said all in one breath and she looked as though she took a deep sigh before she wanted to say anything. She started to walk off in a direction, i followed closely behind not saying a word to her i just kept giving slight glances to her to try and think how i forgot the person who came for me. It doesn't make sense i shouldn't of forgot her but i did.

"Professor" I question out loud. "Not now later Ember," She told me when she said my name i felt a tug on my heart as if it was trying to tell me something but I'm not sure what anymore ever since i was found in that god-forsaken shed, and brought to the wizarding world more things make sense to me as if it seems familiar to me but also it's as if somethings don't seem as normal as they should in this world.
