Fading Destiny

Carolyn POV

Cautiously, the girl stepped forward. Her foot rested upon the clear surface, as the voice drew her closer. Forgetting her fear of the water, she jumped forward. The waves held her above as she followed the sound that had been calling to her for so long...

And that's when the lightning hit. But instead of running away, she ran to it

"Whatcha reading?" Asked Hermione, and I jumped.

"Don't sneak up on me like that! This is a really good book..." I answered.

Hermione smiled. "I got the first few chapters of Shafts of Light copied down. What should I do with them?" I had left her with the task with writing it down, for after all, it was her story.

I shrugged. "I don't know. Probably somewhere close, so we don't forget it."

She gives me a look of mock suprise. "Us? Forget something? Wherever did you get that idea?"

Hogwarts. I wondered if we were ever going to get back. But I knew that I couldn't leave without answering all of the questions I had about this place, even though I realized that it would probably take quite a while, considering how many I had.

I placed the two books in my bag, for further reading and study in my room. Maybe tomorrow would be the day I started getting the slightest clue of where we were.

Meh. Probably not. Our lives are far too complicated to work that way.
