Where The Dreams Come True

Chapter 14

Three days after her recovery, Eva was called to the headmaster's office. She put her Ravenclaw robes on and anxiously started walking from the dungeons heading there. Her friends had offered accompanying her, but she politely declined, thinking it would be better if she went alone. While walking though, she wished she hadn't turned them down. Every student's eyes she crossed paths with were on her. Even the ones just sitting here and there would stare at her quizzically when she passed from in front of them. She felt all those stares like knives, even at her back. Sooner or later though, she arrived at Dumledore's office and knocked the door. When it magically opened, as if it had been expecting her, she saw her headmaster sitting on his office chair. Upon seeing her he got up to welcome her.

"Miss de la Rosa! Please, do come in!" he smiled warmly at her

"Hello professor Dubledore." she nodded her head smiling back

"You must wonder why I called you here today, so please let me explain. As you already know, your poisoning led you to lose about three weeks of classes, and I am afraid I will ask you to stay in the room professor Snape has made for you for the upcoming week. And I will also kindly ask you to not go to any class till the end of the aforementioned week. This is your better safety, to do some last checks in your chamber at the Ravenclaw tower, as well as to be sure we won't have any other complications." he looked at her for a moment checking her reaction

"Alright, I understand. I assure you that I will do my best to cover the syllabus of these weeks"

"Ah, that is the second reason I called you for today. I know it is a whole month of classes, and actually the first and therefore most important one. Especially for you, that being a muggleborn just entered our world. But I have something that may help you with the studying operation" he said opening one of his drawers and taking out a pendant

"A time-turner!" Eva said in awe

"Exactly my dear, a time turner. You can use it after you restart going normally to classes, in order to attend the ones you weren't able to. But be cautious! You can say it only to the ones you really trust, and do not let anyone notice you apart from the professors that will be informed by me. And by no means should you get it lost or destroyed. Oh, and one last thing. As you may already know, every time you use the time turner you age accordingly, so please do not overuse it and end up being at an age of 18 only in your first year!" he explained to her

"Alright professor, thank you very much. I will use it with caution. When should I return it to you?"

"The deadline is after your graduation in 7th year. Then, you will be able to get your own, so you won't really need it."

"Once again thank you very much professor!" Eva smiled sweetly

"No need to! Lemon drop?" he smiled back brightly

"No, thank you professor. I think I should get going." she replied

"Alright, enjoy the rest of your day dear!" he waved at her

"You too headmaster!" she waved back, leaving his office

On her way back to the dungeons, she was unlucky enough to encounter the group that mocked her all the time

"You're still here?!" said the lead

"Yes, why would I not?" Eva answered flatly

"Maybe because you don't belong here? Our world is superior to yours. And some mudbloods like you spoil it. So why don't you gather your things and go back where you came from? You do not deserve to be here either ways, and sooner or later you will be sacked. Oh, by the way, you have some ink on your hair." and with that she emptied a bottle of ink on top of Eva's head.
