Out Of Time

Chapter 3

EDITED

Alexa's POV

I felt nervous. What if all of this is just a dream? Well I don't ever want to wake up. But what if I'm dead and I didn't even know? So many what if's.

After 30 minutes Professor Mcgonagall and Professor Snape walked in. Wow, I thought, is Hogwarts really that big that it takes them half an hour to get here? Well anyways, the three professors all faced me as if expecting me to burst into questions which, by the way, what I feel like doing but my mind went blank. Now I'm really nervous.

"Er," I started nervously, "do you want to start?"

The three professors looked at each other like they were having a conversation with their eyes. Finally the greasy haired professor opened his mouth, "What is your name?"

I sighed in relieve, expecting a harder question than that. "I'm Alexa Lily Potter, and you are?" I asked even though I already know who he is.

The hooked nose man and the lady with graying hair looked taken aback by my last name. He, nevertheless answered. "Snape, Severus Snape. This is Professor Minerva Mcgonagall-" he pointed to the lady with graying hair that is in a tight bun, "and Professor Albus Dumbledore." He introduced them.

"Nice to meet you all." I greeted them.

It was my turn to ask them a different question. "Do you know why I'm here?" I asked.

Both professors turn to Dumbledore. He sighed, "I am sorry dear child, but I can not answer that question, at least not yet."

"Can I at least ask a different question?" I asked.

"You already had." Dumbledore replied.

"I mean, other than that."

"Of course child." He chuckled.

"Alright then," I said, "Can I stay here? To learn magic."

Dumbledore opened his mouth to answer but Professor Mcgonagall interrupted him, "How do you know about magic?"

I blushed at that. "I, I'm, I mean I saw the nurse do magic and the things she made me drink, I just know those aren't ordinary medicines, those are potions aren't they?" I stuttered.

She looked at my suspiciously, "Alright, if you're a witch then yes, you can study here starting your third year."

I face broke into a smile. "How do we know if I'm a witch?" I'm so excited but part of me felt nervous, what if I'm just a muggle?.

"Well," Dumbledore started, "you can pick a wand between the three of us and see if you can do anything."

I immediately picked Snape. I know not much people like him but I know that he is not a bad person- or wizard?- and maybe, just maybe that I will remind him of Lily Potter and that he will warm up to me even just a little bit.

I gripped the wand tightly, concentrating on one particular spell that I just love. Well, here goes nothing.
