Welcome to Ilvermorny (Indefinite Hiatus)

Strange

When I woke up the next morning I felt a light weight on my chest. When I sat up I saw it, a small snow white hedgehog, "What is this?" I looked around but I was the only one in the room, "Locke? Anyone?" I called out.

"Oh Sam, no one can hear you here." the small animal laughed at me.

I jumped back dropping it, "What the hell?" I almost screamed, "You just talked!"

The small animal just rolled it's eyes, if that was even possible, "Well duh!" it hopped off the bed and ran out the door.

"Hey wait!" I ran after it but I was stopped in my tracks by Grace.

"Whoa slow down there wheels!" She laughed.

"Grace?" I was a bit confused by the sight of her, "Why are you here? Do you know what is going on?" I asked.

"Yeah you over slept," She smiled sweetly, "Locke was going to come get you but his sister stopped him so he sent me."

"Oh okay." I tried to smile through my blushing, I can't believe I did that and it is only my second day of class, "Well let's go then." I started for the door.

"Yeah lets." she skipped out the door and I followed suit. When I stepped out into the hall I was in a completely different place. The walls were made of cobblestone and dripped water the light of the room had a lime green hue to it.

"Where am I?" I could see vaguely through the dark corridor, but not by much.

"You are where we all come." a raspy voice came from behind me, "Welcome." It greeted.

I turned around slowly to see a dark hooded figure, it's pale hands looked bony and frail, the wispy black cloak covered the rest of the body, "Wh-who is we?" I ask slightly scared.

"That is for you to find out." Though I couldn't see it's face I could tell it was smiling.

"Don't be cryptic with me!" I demanded looking at it with newfound bravery, "What is going on?"

The figure walked towards me until I could smell its breath, "So be it." It removed the hood finally revealing the face of an old woman, "That is greatly disappointing." She sighed in a thick irish accent, "I was hoping to be all mysterious and cryptic like most of the storybooks go, much more exciting." She smiled lightly brushing her curly red hair to the side of her face, "but I suppose when you are granted immortality you can't get everything you want." She looked back at me, "My name is Martha, um, Boot, I'd rather not use the other last name so let's go with Boot" she looked back, "My apologies for popping in on you like this but I thought this would be cool, shame I can't do magic this is actually a magical item that I am using." she held up a small silver charm, "it took a while for me to use it without getting hurt," she rubbed her stomach as if here was a bruise there.

"What exactly are you talking about?" I asked really quite confused, "I've never heard of you." I frowned though that name did sound familiar I couldn't place my finger on it.

"Right so I have a tiny problem," she played with her hands a bit, "There is something, or more accurately, some things that are very important in that school that I need, the fate of wizards depends on it. I can't exactly go there myself for three main reasons, one is I'm supposed to be dead, if anyone found out I didn't die a whole lot of controversy would start, two I don't like being around wizards and witches very much it just makes me upset, and finally number three I can't actually enter the school because I am a No-Maj squib." She sighed sadly.

"Oh." That was all I could say really, what do you say to an old woman that just confessed to be an outlier even amongst wizards, "why did you give a weak nobody wizard like me the task to get it?" I asked. It didn't make sense after all, why choose a first year child rather than a higher level student, or even better, a professor.

"Because you have her blood in your veins." She smiled, "Everyone thought she died alone but that wasn't true. You are the only one that can get it." She smiled.

"Okay." I nodded it didn't make much sense but I needed to do this, "What exactly do you need me to get?" As I said this the world around me started to ripple.

Martha looked around nervously, "We need to end this quick before he finds out what I am doing and cuts our connection," She looked at me determined, "When you get the bring them to me just outside of the school's boarders," She spoke quickly and efficiently, "What I need is three things, a very special -" Her words were cut off by a flash of glowing red eyes, soon the world started vanishing and changing around me.

"Yo wake up Sam." My eyes flew open, I was on my bed looking up at Locke's goofy grin, "You don't want to be late for breakfast right?"

I sit up groaning as I change into my robes, "What happened?" I rubbed the back of my head, it hurt really bad for some reason.

"Nothing I just got up and got bored." He laughed, "So I woke you up."

"But why does my head hurt so much?" I looked around, I felt like I needed to do something important but I couldn't figure out what.

"Hm." He shrugged, "Don't know." he smiled at me, his pearly white teeth was slightly obscured by something like lettuce.

"Ew dude did you not brush your teeth last night, I can see the salad in your mouth still." I asked grossed out.

He blushed and covered his mouth, "Sorry, I forgot."

I roll my eyes, "Whatever, let's go eat and then I will watch you brush your teeth." I warned him.

He just laughed and smiled, "Okay Sam. Okay."
