"Good evening Professor Dumbledore, it's been a while"

He spun in his old chair to face me before standing from it and making it creak a little, his mouth curving upward in a tiny smile at my presence ahead of him. I returned the favour yet kept my eyes fixed to the floor. It was almost as if part of me was embarrassed to be standing in the same room of the man who knew about my leaving and why it happened. I mean come on, what isn't embarrassing about your parents taking you away from school because it's 'not safe enough', am I right? The room was filled with an awkward silence up until he decided to clear his throat and break it with a few spoken sentences.

"(Name)? What are you doing here? Your parents made you le-"

"They're letting me come back" I was always quite the convincing liar, not that I had much evidence to prove so. Everyone generally believed me except for Newt, who seemed to see straight through me. But then again Newt always saw in me what others couldn't, as I did him. But that's another story and quite frankly, at this point all I wanted to do was to get reaccepted and so we'll disregard that until another time.

"And they didn't inform me first? (Name) as much as I wa-"

"I have a signed letter... you know, the ones you give in for admission to educate here" He seemed to be slightly at unease with my interruptions, but I was too driven to care. I had a purpose and I was going to make it work. If not, I'd be a homeless child without a family or anyone who remembers her. Therefore, you can imagine how 'driven' I was.

He read the letter, slipping his reading glasses up his nose and into place. "Hmm, ok" he mumbled "yes. Yes indeed. Here it says you are in fact a student at Hogwarts. Welco-" he stopped in his tracks, as if forgetting something "You have missed seven whole months of classes, (name). How will you ever make up for it?"

This may surprise you. Or it may not, if honestly depends on how much of a logical thinker you are. Anyway, Whilst I was away, me and Newt sent various letters to each other. With every owl that he sent me he attached his class notes, a way of letting me learn magical lessons whilst additionally taking Muggle ones. You didn't think my constant, and I mean 24 hour kind of constant, daydreaming was spent on nothing? I mean, you knew Newt was in there... But it was mostly the notes that Newt had sent me. I spent all of my time educating myself on the miniature lessons he had provided me with. However, little did he know that I had been using them all along as part of my step to step plan in returning to Hogwarts...

"Newt- He sent me notes... Care for magical creatures, defence against the dark arts, History of magic... it's all here" I handed him the notes and he happily scanned them, humming a tone in doing so "I am completely up to date with everything, sir"

"In that case, welcome back Miss (last name)" he spoke with a cheery grin whilst extending his left hand to be shaken "I will allow you to take the rest of the day settling into your dorm... it is the same one as before. I suppose you know your way"

I nodded and turned around, heading for the door. I had a skip to my step as I turned the knob. I felt like I was truly home again, and nobody could eve-

"Oh and (name)?" Dumbledore called from behind me "how was the trip to the museum?" He chuckled

I stiffened... He knew all along that it was forged. And still to this day I'll never know how. Or why... why he took me back if he realised it was all a lie. Perhaps he knew I had no other hope. That's a question I genuinely cannot answer, but don't get me wrong I've tried

"It was quite alright, sir" I smiled "probably the best I've been on"

And with that I made my way to the (house) common room. Nothing had changed about the castle since I had been gone. There was still that sense of magic lurking in the air, and it still carried the same happiness that I had missed beyond enough. I could hear the faint cheering of the first year students in broom flying class, making me reminisce about the time I first properly flew. All of the students seemed to want to do it straight away, but I turned my nose up on it. It took three lessons and a lot of encouragement to finally get me on my broom. But once I was on it, it was hard to get me off it I enjoyed it that much. The memory made me think about how much I truly belonged at Hogwarts. It held my memories and my childhood wrapped into one with happiness as it's wrapping paper. Living without it would be, and for seven months was, unimaginable.

I skipped down the corridors and straight into my dorm, where I gently placed my case on the bed and opened it eagerly. I gathered all of my books and scattered them all over the floor in a similar messy state to that of when I had left. You see when I did go I felt at a deep loss of having to leave my dorm and take my mess with me, and so it was the first thing that I had my mind set to do on my return. After all, my dorm is not truly my dorm without the mess, if you get what I mean. After this, I changed quickly into the set of robes and uniform that hung in my case, wrapping my scarf around my neck for no reason, having not been cold. During all of said actions, a grin was plastered onto my overjoyed face. I had dreamt of coming back, but when considering my plan I'd never truly thought it'd work... therefore I was naturally extremely triumphant when it had.

In the entirety of the seven months away, I had never once genuinely smiled or laughed. It grew to be something that I had missed. But within an hour of being back, my happiness seemed to be never ending. Mostly toward my situation, but even more so to the fact that Newt didn't know that I was back and I was the one who got to surprise him.
