[Ellie's P.O.V.]

I suddenly opened my eyes and found myself lying on the bed. I was surrounded by white. I seemed to be in a hospital.

The memories of drowning suddenly emerged in my mind. I didn't die. Was that all a dream?

Looking at my unscathed self in the mirror, I began to suspect that the image of me drowning and facing death was all fake.

Just then, Rowling walked in from the door, holding a cup of tea. When she saw me coming down from the bed, she was slightly stunned and a few drops of tea spilled out of the cup. Then, a smile appeared on her face. "Ellie, you're awake!"

"What's going on? Why am I here?" asked I as I held my head. I had a stomach full of questions to ask her.

"Did you forget? You fell into the river."

Rowling held my head and shook it, as if checking to see if water had entered my brain.
