CHAPTER 6: the train

The young girl was sitting all alone in one of the compartments. After what she found out about her parents at the burrow, she couldn't get her mind to think straight. All she could think about wasn't the fact that they were death eaters, but the fact that they were missing, which meant that they could still be alive out there. A few people went by her compartment, but when they saw who sat there, they left. Someone had been able to take a picture of her in Diagon Alley and sent it to The Daily Prophet. So now, everyone knows about her and who she is. And it seems that everyone knows more about her than she does herself. The Weasleys only told her about her parents and nothing more. They had gotten strict orders from someone to not tell her more than that.

The train started to move, and it was finally time for the girl to live her dream about going to Hogwarts. The parts when the characters were on their way to Hogwarts, was her favourite part. She loved the fact that they could travel by train and watch the beautiful landscape. Most of all she liked it since friends that hadn't seen each other for two months would meet again and share stories from their holidays. At least she would be able to enjoy one of the two. If only her phone worked so that she could take pictures of the view. She still occasionally pinches herself to make sure that it's really real. That it's not some dream or nightmare. Depends on how you see it.

She didn't mind that people stayed away from her or were too scared to approach her. She was used to people not liking her. What mattered to her was that she was able to go to Hogwarts, use a wand and learn magic. It was just like her old school, only that now she would be able to do so much more. She couldn't wait to meet the teachers and befriend the ghosts. The ghosts were probably the only people who would want to befriend her right now anyway.

After about an hour the compartment door where she was sitting opened up. She didn't look at who it was. She just continued to stare out on the landscape. The person who came in closed the door and sat himself down opposite of her. They sat like that for a few minutes before he spoke.

"I'm sorry." She doesn't answer. She continues to look out of the window pretending she didn't hear him. "I shouldn't have left you there all alone, but my father didn't give me a choice."

She continued to ignore him. She wasn't in the mood to talk right now and was more interested in why the train had stopped. It began to get colder and ice was forming on the windows. She knew that it had something to do with the films, but no matter how hard she tried to remember the more she forgot about it.

"I'm sorry, okay?" He understood that he wouldn't be getting an answer from her, so he got up and was ready to leave. He only got a few meters from the compartment when he noticed that a dementor went right into Camilla's compartment and wasn't coming out again. He ran to her and found her lying on the floor.

How could I forget this part of the films? Why didn't I understand it when it started to get colder? And why did it come for me? It feels like every happy memory I had, just vanished and all that was left was the bad memories except this one. I can't remember ever this one.

I was sitting in a living room. I could hear some people talking. What they were talking about is a blur, but I can hear my name being mentioned a few times. I'm trying to move closer to them, but it's like my whole body is frozen in place. Tears are running down my face for a reason unknown. Maybe because of what's happening in the kitchen. Out of nowhere, a woman comes, and she sits down in front of me. She's crying. Telling me how much she loves me and that she's sorry for everything. Then I hear her muttering a spell I don't recognize. The next thing I know I'm sitting in the kitchen in my house in Oslo, laughing with my "parents" like what happened before was just a bad dream.

After a few minutes, the girl wakes up. Her head is in someone's lap. She sits up and recognizes the boy. Why did he come back? I don't want to talk to him right now.

"Eat. It'll help." Lupin says while handing her some chocolate. She takes the chocolate and starts eating it. Camilla feels better right away.

"Thanks, Professor Lupin." She answers, which gives her a confused look from both Lupin and the boy.

"What was that thing?" The boy askes. Lupin is about to answer, but Camilla cuts him to it.

"A Dementor. One of the guards of Azkaban. It was searching the train for Sirius Black."

"How do you know all this?" Lupin askes her, unable to hide his curiosity.

"I just do, Professor," she answers. Lupin looks at her more confused, but he can't shake the feeling that she knows her from somewhere. Those eyes...

"I need to have a word with the driver. Excuse me."

He leaves and closes the door behind him, leaving the two alone. He takes a breath and starts to say something, but she holds up her hand indicating that she doesn't want to hear it. He gets up again to leave and says one last sorry before he leaves her all alone. When she sees that he has left completely, she lets the tears run down her face.

What was that? A memory, and who were those people? If it was a memory then that woman was my mother. I saw my real mother...
