Waking up
Waking up, you found yourself laying on soft ground. You sat up, rubbing your head. Looking around, you found yourself in a very familiar looking place. You saw a large lake, some greenhouses, a hut in front of a large forest and a large castle looming in the distance. It was Hogwarts. You looked down to see the book you had grabbed was gone. It had been Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. You were in the Harry potter world.
Getting up, you went towards Hagrid’s hut. No one was inside.
You went over to the greenhouses. There were only plants.
Finally, you went up to the castle. The doors were closed. You knocked, but no one came. Frustrated, you went to pull on the handle. To your surprise, it opened easily. You walked in. There were many ways for you to go. Walking in a random direction, you ended up in the Great Hall. It was empty. Walking back out, you decided to go upstairs.
You wondered around for what felt like hours before stopping in front of a gargoyle. You were standing in front of Dumbledore’s office. Remembering something you read online, you straightened up and spoke clearly. “I need to see the Headmaster.” The door opened and you walked in. You came to another door, this one slightly open. Peering inside, you saw Dumbledore, Snape, McGonagall, Pomfrey, Hagrid, Quirrell, Trelawney, basically the entire Hogwarts staff. They were talking amongst themselves, and you heard the word ‘stone’ repeated a few times. You leaned against the door, trying to hear more clearly, when -
You fell into the room. Quickly getting up, you looked at the teachers, who were all pointing their wands at you with confused expressions. “A boy?” “How did a child get here?!” Dumbledore raised a hand and silenced them. This time, you spoke. “Ah, I’m so sorry to interrupt, I was just trying to figure out where I was. We’re at Hogwarts, right?” You looked around the room, spotting a Phoenix who stared back at you. It was Fawkes. “Yes, we are. I am Professor Dumbledore, Headmaster of this school. May I ask who you are and how you got here?” You turned to face the old wizard once more. “I am (M/N) (L/N), and I don’t know how I got here. I was simply at a bookstore and when I opened a book, everything went dark. When I woke up, I found myself here.” “And what book were you reading?” “…” How were you going to explain this?! ‘Yeah, you all are from a fantasy book series and don’t actually exist.’ Impossible!! You were gonna have to decide how you wanted this to play out…
