Angelic Deceit

She was seated on a bench, that's how he noticed her. She was set apart from everybody else, while the other children where playing she was seated on the bench with her feet tucked underneath her. She was neither watching nor was she not watching. She was in a state that they called day dreaming. She could be found most days seated on that same bench with a far-away look on her face, Always daydreaming. She was never bothered, the children had long since forgotten trying to get the young flower to join in on their games.

To the outside world she was the perfect picture of innocence. Her blond hair was naturally curling into almost angelic ringlets and with the last rays of son her her light shade of blond looked perfectly golden. Her eyes where a brilliant green, not quite emerald green but enough to attract attention just like an emerald would. She was a small girl not for any particular reason she was just a generally tiny girl. At the delicate age of eleven she looked no older than an eight year old. Maybe it was the way she looked at you her green eyes wide and innocent. She was the perfect child.

The only way they realised her intelligence was when she spoke, for she spoke gently but she spoke in third person. She never referred to herself as i or me it was always Her, she or Lotus. She spoke as if speaking about another person, and in a way she was. They walked towards this positively angelic little girl. She looked up, she did not even blink at them as she said in as gently steady voice.

"You've come to take her away havent you. You've come to take her to Hogwarts. That school from the letter" Albus and Severus exchanged identical looks of wonder, for they had not known the girl spoke in third person. In the back of his mind Severus noted that it would get quite tiring for him. They each took there turn in looking at her, she returned there steady gaze and raised herself with an air if such elegance they where perfectly certain that she was Lotus McGonagal, Their dear friend and transfiguration's teacher's great grandchild. It was that exact air of elogance that could not be mistaken for a McGonagal.

She led them to her room where she already had a trunk packed. She gently picked up her snake, to them it was a harmless garden snake but they had not seen his eyes. To her this snake was her familiar The red snake slitherd up her arm to wrap itself around her neck. Her stiff back relaxed considerably once the snake was around her neck. They led her out of the Orphanage leading her to a rather confusing fate that she was soon to call her life.

Severus and Albus where both letting there rather confusing thoughts rattle through there brain as they walked at either side of the girl. Neither one was aware of the one and only Professor McGonagal following behind them in her animagus form. Lotus knew she was ther, in fact she went out of her way to lift the poor cat that she did not know was her Great granmother. Professor Mcgonagal was quite content to just be held by the gentle girl as they walked. For now she would be close to the child but later she will return as the stern teacher even to her young great grandchild.

I thought it would be different to write a story in third person so i decided to try it out.
