Situation At Hand
I heard the sound of a woman humming in the distance. The noise was gradually growing louder as I realized that I was lying on a soft mattress. I tried to open my eyes and was greeted with bright, almost blinding, sunlight. My throat felt parched and I made a groaning sound. All I could think about was a cold glass of water.
An older, slightly overweight woman appeared out of nowhere.
“Oh! Dear, you’re awake! You gave us all an awful fright.”
I tried to form words to respond, but she cut me off saying, “No talking yet dear. Here, have some water.”
A pitcher and a full glass of water appeared seemingly out of nowhere on my bedside table. The woman helped me sit up and held the glass of water for me as I drank my fill. I don’t think I was ever that thirsty before. I quickly drank down two large glasses.
With my thirst quenched, I took a moment to survey my surroundings. I was obviously in some sort of nurse’s station. Rows of beds lined both walls of the large room; each made neatly with impeccable white linens. The woman at my side wore a white uniform that was as white as the linens themselves. She wore her graying brown hair in a tight bun that added to her comforting, motherly nature.
“Where am I?” I asked.
“Why you are in the Hospital Wing at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of course! You were in a terrible state when you arrived. You have been resting for over two days.” She quickly added, “I am Madam Pomfrey.”
“Two days!” I exclaimed. “I need to see Dumbledore as soon as possible! Where can I find him?”
Madame Pomfrey smiled at me gently and said, “Now, now dear, the Headmaster is already on his way to speak to you. There’s no need to fret.”
Hearing this, I calmed down and regained my composure. “Thank you.” I said. Before she could reply, I was aware of another presence in the room. I turned to my left and saw Albus Dumbledore for the first time.
As soon as he entered the Hospital Wing, I immediately began to feel calm. He looked just as I imagined him. His long white beard stood out against his dark blue robes and his eyes possessed a twinkle that I had not witnessed in any other person before.
I rose out of bed, but before I could introduce myself he raised his hand and said, “I know who you are and why you are here Maura Shannon. There is no need to explain yourself. You have come to the right place my child. I believe Madame Pomfrey has some more suitable clothing for you and will lead you to my office after you have changed. We have much to speak about.”
