I hear noises all around me. It sounded like people talking and was that a car noise? What am I laying on that hurts my back? And where's Shay? Someone's calling out to us. I opened my eyes and I see an elderly looking lady. She was wearing a green tartan dress and her hair was pulled back into a bun. She looked concerned, but if she didn't, she looked like someone who didn't take anyone's crap. "Are you feeling alright?" She asks in an English accent. I try to sit up and she moves to help me. "What's your name?"
"Pyper, where's my sister?"
"She's laying right next to you." I look over and she was there as the lady had said.
"This is Shay." I said, as I tried to wake Shay up. "Come on, wake up." I mumbled.
"I'm Minerva McGonagall. How did you end up here?" I looked around at the unfamiliar scene.
"I don't know. I don't even know where we are." I muttered as Shay finally started to wake up. She sat up after a few minutes, looking confused.
"You're in London."
"You mean, as in the UK?" I asked shocked. She nodded, holding out both of her hands. We took her hands and she helped us stand up.
"Yes. From your accent, I assume you're from the United States."
"Yes, ma'am." I said nodding.
"How old are you two?" Minerva asks.
"I'm 10 going on 11 and Pyper is 11 going on 12." Shay answered, still looking confused.
"Come with me. We can talk somewhere more private." She said smiling. Shay and I shared a look before nodding and following Minerva. She brought us to a nice looking home. It was light blue on the outside and there was a small garden out in the front. She went inside and had us follow her. "This is my home."
"It's really nice." Shay said as we looked around. It looked like your typical grandma's house, only she had a lot of book shelves filled with books.
"Thank you. Make yourselves at home. I'll go make us some tea." We nodded and sat down on her sofa. How did we end up here? It wasn't long before Minerva came back with a tea tray and joined us on the couch.
"What's the last thing you remember?" Minerva asks as she prepares us a cup of tea.
"I don't remember anything." I said feeling confused. I feel like I should know something that has to do with how Shay and I got here, but I can't remember anything.
"Me either," Shay said frowning. "I feel like we're lost." I nodded. Minerva handed both of us a cup of tea. We took a small sip of it and it wasn't really our 'cup of tea' but we politely kept drinking it.
"I feel the same way, it's really irritating." I said sighing.
"I see. Do you two have anywhere to stay?" I shook my head, frowning. That was a good question. She smiled. "Then you can stay with me." We looked at her shocked.
"Really?" Shay and I ask her.
"We're not going to bother you?" I asked. She chuckled.
"Of course not. I have a spare room that you two can have." I smiled. I really like Minerva, she's very nice.
"Thank you," Shay said beaming at her. "We really appreciate it."
"Nonsense, now then, how about I show you up to your room?" She said standing up. The two of us set our cups down and followed her as she led us up some stairs. "Now then, your room is here on the left. There's a bathroom down the hall to the right and my room is just the opposite of it." She said as we walked into our room. It had a full sized bed, a dresser, and a small desk that was shoved into the corner of the room. The window was covered with light blue curtains. The view from the window allowed us to see the street from down below. "It's not much, but that's all I can give you for now."
