Clothes and Explanations
I stood dumbfounded as the Headmaster left the Hospital Wing. I had felt unusually calm at his presence and, now that he had left the room, I felt empty. Before I could ponder this feeling any further, Madame Pomfrey grasped my arm and whisked me away to an area behind a curtain. I was starting to feel cold in my bare feet and hospital gown, so I was glad when a set of clothes was brought to me. Upon closer inspection I realized that I was holding a schoolgirl's uniform. "It's so you can blend in dear. We don't want to cause too much attention now do we?" Madame Pomfrey said in answer to my questioning gaze. I gave her my thanks and she left the enclosed area.
I quickly put on the skirt and blouse and glanced at the gray pullover sweater. There was a green and black patch with a snake on it. I had heard of the houses of Hogwarts and figured I would be a member of Slytherin house, if only for a short while. I snapped out of my thoughts and put on the sweater, took a glance in the mirror, and left in search for Madame Pomfrey. As soon as I made my way from behind the curtain Madame Pomfrey was waiting for me. "My, my, my dear! You certainly will be on the receiving end of many advances from the boys in Slytherin. You look gorgeous!" the woman exclaimed. I blushed at her compliments and my attention was drawn to the full length mirror on the wall across from me. Even I had to admit, I looked pretty darn good. Whatever potions she used to heal me seemed to have worked marvelously. I had always thought I was rather attractive. Though I am only 5'3", I have ample curves in all the right places along with straight brown hair that stops in the middle of my back. I was always told that my bright green eyes were my best feature and the Slytherin patch on the sweater certainly did seem to make them pop.
Madame Pomfrey walked over me and gently placed a hand on my shoulder. "Come now. It is time. I will show you to his office." I followed blindly after her through the empty halls of Hogwarts. I had no sense of time, but I had a feeling classes were in session. We arrived at our destination and Madame Pomfrey said the password, "Fever Fudge" and the gargoyle slid back displaying a spiral staircase. "Well dear, this is where we part. Albus is waiting for you upstairs." "Thank you so much for everything." I said with tears in my eyes. She just gave me a warm smile and hug before she turned and went back to the Hospital Wing. I slowly climbed up the stairs and walked through an open door to be greeted by the sight of the Headmaster sitting in his desk chair appearing deep in thought.
I gently knocked on the door and he jumped a little before seeing me and smiling. "Have a seat my child." I complied with his request and looked towards him. "Now," he said, "I assume you would like to tell me a bit of your story." I took that as my cue to begin. I told him everything I knew. I told him of my upbringing; of my Muggle mother and my Squib father. I told him that I could not perform magic and I had no idea why the Death Eaters wanted me. Lastly, I told him of my parents’ death and how I came here.
I finished my story and felt as though a great weight had been lifted off of my chest. He stared at me for a long while before he gave me a comforting smile. He began to speak slowly, "You have been through a great deal Maura. I am sorry to say that I do not have the answers as to why the Death Eaters are after you, but we can, and will, offer you a safe home. You are more than welcome here." I was about to thank him, when he continued speaking, "You will be staying under the watchful eye of one of our Professors. You will stay in the dungeons with him and he will protect you at all costs." "Thank you Professor Dumbledore. I can't thank you enough for your kindness." I stated truthfully. My head turned as I heard heavy footsteps coming up the stairs. "Ah," Dumbledore said, "Here is your roommate now."
