Hello all!
Here is chapter 6 for your reading pleasure. I own none of JKR’s
characters, more’s the pity. Kiara, her parents, and anyone not
recognizable from the books are my own creations. I’m making no money off this, so please don’t sue me.

Chapter 6: Kiara’s Second Year
The rest of Kiara’s
first year at Hogwarts passed fairly uneventfully. She spent most of her summer in the company
of her friends. Her parents had given
her permission to invite Rosie, Melanie, Cordelia, Wendy, and Eugenie over for
a couple of weeks. Because Kiara’s father
was a doctor, her family was fairly well to do and the house was big enough to
accommodate the five guests. Also, the
back yard was equipped with that all-important of summer amenities: a
pool. The girls spent endless hours
outside, swimming and occasionally doing their summer assignments.
After the girls had gone back home, Kiara was startled by the arrival of
a fairly decrepit old owl. It bore an
invitation for her to go to the Burrow, which was the Weasley home, for a week
in August. It was signed by Charlie,
with a note from his mother suggesting that they take Kiara with them when they
go shopping in Diagon Alley. With Gran’s recommendations, Kiara’s parents agreed.
Kiara enjoyed her stay at the Burrow, where she met
Bill and Charlie’s younger siblings.
Percy had just turned ten, Fred and George, who were twins, were eight,
Ron was six, and Ginny, the youngest and only girl, had recently turned
five. She found the antics of the twins
particularly amusing. She also became
very fond of Mrs. Weasley, who seemed to treat all children as her own. Her trip to Diagon Alley with them was fairly
uneventful, if a bit chaotic.
A week after returning home, it was time for the trip back to
Hogwarts. Kiara sat in a compartment
with Rosie, Melanie, Cordelia, Wendy, and Eugenie, while Charlie, Luke, and
Alison were in the next one over.
Halfway to the school, Charlie entered their compartment.
“How about it, Kiara?” he asked.
Kiara looked at him, puzzled.
“How about what, Charlie?” Wendy asked.
“Quidditch!” he replied, as if that were
enough. Seeing the looks on their faces,
he added, “We need a new Chaser, remember?
Kiara, will you be trying out? As
tiny as you are, you’d probably make a great Seeker but, seeing as we already have one...” he grinned.
“Oh, I’d almost forgotten about that.
Sure, I’ll try out,” Kiara replied.
“Great!” Charlie answered and went back to his compartment.
At Hogwarts, Kiara settled back into her routine quickly. At the end of September, when Quidditch
try-outs were announced, she went out and found she’d not lost any of her
skills on a broomstick over the summer.
She was quickly chosen as their newest Chaser. Thanks to good study habits, she found that
adding Quidditch practice to her schedule caused no problems at all. As their previous Chaser had also been team
Captain, they chose Charlie to be their new Captain. They won their first game
against Ravenclaw easily.
Kiara still wondered about Professor Snape, but
figured it was unlikely that she’d ever know.
She did, however, make an effort to inject some warmth and friendliness
to her voice whenever she talked to him.
She figured that with just about everyone else hating him, a little
kindness might go a long way. The rest
of her second year also passed uneventfully.
Soon, it was time for her, along with all the other second year students,
to choose two new classes for next year.
Kiara quickly decided that Divination, Arithmancy,
Study of Ancient Runes, and Muggle Studies did not interest her. However, that left her with only one class to
choose, Care of Magical Creatures, and she was supposed to pick two. As she sat with her friends, trying to
decide, she was startled to hear herself being summoned to Professor Snape’s
office. When she got down there, Snape
indicated that she sit in one of the chairs.
“Miss Connon, have you decided which classes you will be taking next
year?” he asked without preamble.
“No, sir,” Kiara replied, “At least, not entirely. I’ve picked Care of Magical Creatures, but
none of the other subjects interest me.”
“I see. Would you be at all
interested in Advanced Potions, if it were offered?”
“Of course! I’d
like nothing better. Potions is my favourite subject,” Kiara replied.
“Excellent,” Snape said. “Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission
to create an Advanced Potions class for those few who are talented.”
“Thank you, Professor,” Kiara said.
“You may wish to wait before thanking me, Miss Connon,” Snape replied.
“The work will not be easy.”
“I look forward to it,” Kiara said, smiling. Her sincerity startled Snape into almost
returning the smile. Kiara doubted that
anyone else would have noticed, but she did, and she gave him another bright
smile before leaving the office.
The last few days of school passed quickly, and once again, Kiara found
herself on the Hogwarts Express, heading towards King’s Cross.

Hmm, Advanced Potions (my own creation, but hey, it’s an Alternate
Universe fic)…things get interesting…
