This is Who I Am

Chapter Nine

I woke with the feeling of dread all throughout my body. A dull pain erupted on my head. Prying my eyes open, light filled my vision, causing me to cringe back in to the bed I was on. But it wasn't my bed, opening my eyes once more I looked around the room I was in. Cream colored walls, multiple white dressed beds, cabinets filled with medical things. The hospital wing. But why am I here?

"You finally decided to wake up." I wiped my head towards the voice. Madam Pomfrey came out of her office, holding a vital of some sort of potion. She continued to put away things, every now and then taking a quick glance at me. After a while she finished and looked at me.

"Well dearie, if you feel up to it you can leave and go to your common room, where a house elf will have you some food, but you are not to go to classes today. Or you can go down to the Great Hall and have a bit to eat, but you still have to go to your common room. After dinner, Professor Snape asked for you to go to his office." I looked at her, while thinking about what I could do.

"I'll just go to my common room, I'm not quite ready to see anyone." I got up off the bed. My legs slightly shaking, Madam Pomfrey notices and gave me a potion to drink. Questionably I looked at her.

"It's A strengthening potion, it will make your legs less wobbly." Nodding I downed the potion, instantly my legs regained its strength. Thanking her I left the Hospital Wing and went down to the Slytherin Common Room. Multiple students passed by, some whispering, giggles come from them. There's no way people would know about me being in the Hospital Wing, so why were they laughing.

A thought hit me, I looked at what I was wearing. A tank top and a pair of running shorts. My face reddened and I ran to my dormitory. Plopping onto my bed I huffed out, but that turned into a scream when a pair of huge eyes overlooked me. Bolting straight up the creature backed away. I was about to draw my sword when the thing talked.

"Sorry Miss. Tilly did not mean to startle you." I looked at 'Tilly', the creature had huge yellow eyes, big elf like ears, but it was no taller than four foot. Actually it was quite cute, especially in its simple plan dress. Tilly was holding a try full of food, she noticed me looking at it and placed the tray on my bed.

"Tilly was told to bring Miss. Potter a bit of food. Tilly did as she was told." Nodding I brought the tray closer to me. Tilly was about to leave but I stopped her, asking the question that was on my mind the entire time.

"Sorry if this is rude or if this offense you, but what exactly are you?" The creature looked at me with its huge eyes.

"Tilly is not offended, Tilly is a House Elf. We do the cleaning on certain days, as well as prepare the food for the students." She left as soon as she finished talking, leaving me in complete silence.

Slowly I began to eat the food that I was given. As soon as the food hit my tongue I began to speed up the process of eating, and soon the food was gone. With nothing better to do I changed my clothes into a pair of leggings and a loose T-shirt, called out to Dásos and together we went to the seventh floor. The training room. Together we raced to the room, random students jump back when they see a wolf and a girl running to an unknown object. Pacing three times in front of the wall, the door appeared. When walking in I noticed a new section, a play area for Dásos. With a small howl of joy he ran to the tunnel, tuning in and out of it. With a laugh I decided to call camp. Walking over the fountain, I flipped a coin into the mist.

"Oh Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept this offering. Annabeth Chase, Camp Half-Blood." The mist changed and came into focus, the sounds of metal on metal filled my ears. Glancing around I spotted Anna and Luke sparring. Anna slashes Luke's forearm, causing him to drop his sword. Thinking he was done for Anna ran up to him, about to make the 'killing' move when he takes out his dagger. Catching her off guard he knocked the dagger out of Anna's hands, and pointed his dagger at her throat. As they caught their breath I clapped my hands, cheering them on. Both of their heads wiped my way, a smile present on their faces.
