An Imaginative View Of The World 54/?

She opened her eyes. Where was she now? It looked as if the experiment had worked. And this was the first time she had changed universes when she was told to and that someone had been watching. Fraiser could tell her exactly what had been happening to her body when she had left the universe. A new start. Maybe she could use that some day to solve the mystery of being away from her universe. She was in a room that looked quite unfamiliar. She looked at herself. The clothes were those of Hogwarts. She was back in the wizarding world. And she hoped that she would have the chance to stay a little longer this time.
"Hey Kyla," said a voice. A young woman had stepped through the door. Hermione. "You look like you've lost your way. Want to come along?"
"Where are we? Where are you going?"
"Where are we? Hogwarts, a corridor. I want to go outside. What happened to you up at Dumbledore's office? Everybody's talking about it."
"Not too much. He gave me a few advices. Do you have some time? I think there's a lot to tell."
"We need to practice a few charms but otherwise we have loads of time. Have you seen Harry or Ron lately?"
"I haven't seen anyone except Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall. But that's part of what I wanted to tell you. Guess I need your help."
"Miss Parker," a snarling voice called, "The headmaster wishes to see you again." It was Snape who was calling after her. Hermione cast her a worried look but Kyla only shook her head and followed Snape down the corridor towards the headmaster's office. The huge stone goblin that was guarding the entrance to the office stepped aside when Snape told him the right password and up they went on the moving steps.
"Professor Dumbledore, I brought your student. The potion is finished and I hope it will work."
He handed Dumbledore a phial with the pink and blue liquid and smiled a nasty smile.
"If you don't mind –"
"Of course not, you can leave. Thank you, Severus."
Professor Snape nodded and left the office without another word. Kyla looked at Fawkes, the Phoenix, that was sitting on its dais.
"If he lets you you can try to pat him. He likes to be scratched under his beak. I'll prepare everything for your departure."
Kyla just looked at him, unable to say anything. She walked slowly towards the Phoenix. He turned his head and looked at her. Hesitantly she stretched out her hand and he turned his head upwards so she could reach his favorite spot. Dumbledore smiled.
"Only few students had the magic to touch him. You are something very special. Otherwise he would have turned his back towards you or would have bitten you. You're a lucky girl. But nevertheless it's time for you to leave. You know you don't belong here and I know it as well. If you should return here, please don't talk about this kind of traveling with the other students but I hope that the potion works and will bring you back to your own world. I wish you all the luck you need and a little more," he added and looked at her over his crooked nose with the halfmoon spectacles, "And give my kindest regards to your friend Willow."
"I will tell her. Can you help me before I leave? There is something –"
"No problem. The band itself is gone, Willow did a good job in hiding it, and it will only protect you from mortal peril when you need it. Your friend did her job too well. And tell her that she's always welcome to visit me here once she finds The Door. Now Kyla, be a good girl and drink this. It will bring you closer to home. It's a little like floo powder so keep your elbows close to you."
Before Kyla could say another word he had given her the phial and nodded assuringly. It didn't look very tasty.
"Don't worry, it tastes like strawberry ice cream."
She tried to smile and emptied the phial with one deep gulp. It really tasted like strawberries and caused a funny feeling down her throat and in her belly. She saw Dumbledore standing in front of her, waving her goodbye and then she sped through the darkness.
