Sophia's POV

💤💤💤💤💤💤

I woke up when I heard that voice, I couldn't put my finger on who's voice it was as I was still half asleep. I saw a huge figure standing beside my bed and screamed.
"What the fuck are you doing in my room!!!!!???" I cried out, my eyes started to focus and there he was a tall giant, who happened to be very Hairy. "Wait! What? It can't be... Hagrid?" I stuttered nervously. "Well 'ello ' S'phia!" He spoke cheerily. "Excuse me it's like 3am, why are you here?" I spat in annoyance. "Oh I'm not 'ere, not really S'phia. Ya dreaming is all!" Hagrid explained, "thank god for that.... Why are you in my dreams Hagrid?" I asked inquisitively, I found it intriguing and strange that I would be dreaming of Hagrid. "Well now see, I can't tell ya why or owt but i can say this... Dreams are the place people go to escape reality."

"Hagrid, I have nothing to escape from!" I explained plainly, I mean how dare he accuse me of having issues with my life? "Is that right? That's why you spend your days in a shop 'n sitting home alone with Axel!" Hagrid chuckled, "erm, how do you know thats what I do? And how do you know my cats name? Have you been watching me?" I panicked, "Well he told me 'o course!!.... I shouldn' 'ave said that..." Hagrid blushed clearing his Throat.

"I 'ad better be goin'...." Hagrid smiled before walking out of my room, I followed after him but he was gone.
What kind of twisted dream was that? My cat TOLD him? Now I've heard it all! All this magic I've been reading about is messing with me.

💤💤💤💤💤💤💤

The weekend passed by fast and soon i was back to the daily grind, I pulled myself out of bed as it was time for work.
Yes, I had the dreaded morning shift and that means my irritating manager will be breathing down my neck. After I showered I threw on my uniform with its lovely 'I'm here to help!' badge... like fuck I am.

I grabbed a dry slice of toast as the toaster popped and headed out the door, chewing away at my bland breakfast as I sat at the bus stop. Finally the number 42 arrived and I hopped on board swiping my travel card as the sour faced driver scowled at me. I found a window seat and watched the world flow by. An old man sat down beside me and stared at my boobs for a good ten minutes before getting off taking the stench of alcohol and piss with him.

When I arrived I entered the supermarket and headed straight to the staff room to put my things away in a locker and scold myself for underachieving in life. "Sophia, there's a spillage on isle 6 when you have a moment." "Yes Mavis." I groaned, Mavis was the store manager and a right old battle axe too, she was sour and miserable, always covered in cat hair with coffee breath, a bit like your least favourite school teacher, I could see exactly how I was going to end up one day.

🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

When I arrived home his majesty Axel was demanding his usual afternoon feed, so into his bowl went his kibbles, and into the microwave went my 'Mac n cheese'. After we had both had our fill I decided it was time for a shower and an early night, Marnie and Dave wanted to meet up at the local pub but I'm broke until pay day.

"Just a quiet night in for us, eh boy." I grinned as Axel jumped up onto my bed, plonking himself down on my lap as i picked up the last book to read, "you have the whole bed why must you sleep on me!" I groaned as Axel padded away at me.
A few hours had passed, and the story ended. I slammed the book shut, "why can't my life be like that?" I told Axel sadly, he purred and rubbed up against me as I petted him.
"I can't believe poor Snape dies at the end..." I sighed, "he wasn't as bad as we thought..." Axel purred and flicked my face with his tail, "Ow! It's like a bloody whip!" I scowled.
"I wish I was a kid at Hogwarts..."

And that's when it happened....

🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

"Arghhhhhh!" I cried out as I hit the floor with a thud, I staggered to my feet and took in my surroundings, stone walls and lanterns, I walked around for a while in shock. I was at Hogwarts, these dreams were getting more realistic... I saw the entrance to the great hall and looked inside, there was nobody there.
"I'm dreaming! this is a dream!" I shrieked as i caught my reflection in a mirrored picture frame.
That was not the face of a 21 year old staring back at me, I was a teenager!

"Oh my god, please let me wake up! This is too strange.." I whined, when I felt something rub against my leg. "Axel! you're here too, bite me and wake me up for food, come on you normally do!" I pleaded.
"I can't wake you up, you're not dreaming. You made a wish...." He replied, I thought for a Moment.
Wait... The cat speaks?
I don't remember much after that.

🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

I opened my eyes, and looked around. My gaze came to a stop when I realised I was in Hogwarts hospital wing, and then my eyes met his.

"Ah good, you're alive. I can leave now.." He grunted, just as cold and rude as he is in the books.
"Professor Snape! you're Professor Snape!" I replied pointing at him, "it's rude to point, and of course i am you insolent girl surely you may have noticed I am the potions master in this pathetic school!" He spat, turning on his heels to leave.

"Wait! Please! Sir!" I begged and he spun around to glare at me, "what am I doing here?" I asked desperately. "Getting an education. However it seems you have been wasting your time..... And you're out of bed after dark, 20 points from........ What house are you in girl?" He asked looking rather confused. "I'm not in any house! I'm not from here! I'm from.... the real world!" I tried to explain, "this is the real world you idiot!" He seethed, rolling his eyes in despair.

"Now, now! The girl needs some rest!" A voice piped out as Madame Pomfrey came to my bedside, "here drink this dear..." She smiled handing me a bottle of something. "Sleeping draft?" I inquired, taking it from her hand. "Well isn't she bright one." Professor Snape scoffed, I glared at him and his face become angry. I necked the potion and watched as the dungeon bat stalked off out of the ward.

I knew very well I wasn't going anywhere... And it was all down to Axel.
I was stuck.
I needed to find the little bugger....
