Clothed
with flesh

Rain was
pouring down during their trip to Hogwarts. Kyo was looking out the
window, somewhat worried about the presence of the dark clouds.
Their Father must have finally heard of His favorite toys
disappearance. She wondered how long it would be until she would be
summoned. The thought brought shivers down her spine; she closed her
eyes, trying to calm down.

The
transformation had been very difficult to support at first. This
technique was far more evolved than the one she would normally use
back in their plane. It was to be lasting much longer and Dunia had
no idea of the consequences that could derivate from it. No matter
since they did not have a choice; this situation was requiring more
precaution and they couldn’t risk the possibility of exposure.

Nevertheless,
they should. Dunia uneasiness came from the fear of not being able to
always have free access to their powers and perceptions. Neither she
nor Jua had ever tried this technique before. She remembered the
pain and the impression of losing the grasp on her unlimited self.
She had been sick for a whole week, her body shaken by uncontrolled
nausea; same effect for Jua although it lasted for two days.

Their
first visit in their human flesh had been the dragon shaped country.
They installed a compound on a remote island, insuring total
discretion. The preparation took a month; they had to find supplies,
have a mansion built, hire servants, learned has many languages as
possible, study the basic of magic, contact Dumbledore to confirm
their arrival and perfect their masquerade.

Dunia
explained the plan over and over again to make sure that Jua
understood the necessity of holding the illusion at all time. He was
now her brother and would answer to the name of Tama while she would
be called Kyo. Their last name, Shirei, was to remind them of their
real identity. When decomposed, Shi-Rei could mean Fire and Water,
the two elements they handled the best.

Jua had
instructed her in the ways of human behavior from what he glanced by
invading the mind of the servants and native of the land. She had
difficulty to grasp all the concepts, especially the ones pertaining
to the multiple emotions human faces each day. It was disgusting to
find out how little she knew about human after all. It had been so
easy to handle Mr. Snape; then again, she had had a leash on him.

It had
only been a month, and she already felt as if something was linking
from her mind. It brought fear into her heart but she could not let
Jua think that she was not confident; she had to be the strongest and
protect him at all cost.

She
sighed deeply; this plan had to work out or else, they would be in
great danger not to add that they wouldn’t be able to complete
their mission.

“Dunia? Are you okai?” Jua inquired silently.

“Fool,
what did I told you? Let’s not use the bond unless it really is
necessary. And you should also start to refer to me as your sister,
remember?”

“Euh,
Kyo, are you okai?”

“Yes
brother, thank you.”

Scary!
Her voice was way to cutie-ugly for her taste and poor Tama, he
sounded just as soft.

Sighing
deeply once again, she pushed her worries away and turned her
attention to the magazines and newspaper lying on her lap; Top 5
Music, Star Mania and The Daily Prophet. Getting to
know the latest news of both Muggle and Wizardry worlds should help
them blend in with the others.

Their
background was relating them to a wealthy and powerful Pure-Blood
family living amongst Muggles in order to study their kinds, their
techniques while keeping a firm grip on their gift as magic holders.
This story was perfect and it would explain their abilities for
Muggles combat technique as well as their knowledge of both
histories; better be safe than sorry. Now the only thing was to get
up-to-date with present events.

The
newspaper was telling stories about a dangerous murderer on the run
from Azkaban, probably a prison. Then it says that ‘Dementors’
would be patrolling. What are those? The name didn’t sound
appealing at all. Kyo cut the word in two: Dement / Or. It meant;
-making someone lose its sanity-. So these people purpose was to
control the mind in order to bring the criminal back into their cage.
That was really fascinating, to think that such being could exist in
this plane. Kyo wondered how they look like.

“They
might be pretty dangerous indeed” she left out for herself.

“Who?”

“Those
Dementors, they seem to possess great power, if they can bring
someone to the bridge of madness.”

“Let’s
make sure that we do not end up meeting one then.” Tama’s
childish laugh resonates in the small compartment.”

“Well,
if you don’t behave, I might ask for it to happen.” Kyo
might be a child, but her previous personality was still ruling the
new one, and her features were a bit too much stern for her pretended
age.

“You
know sister; you should have work on your appearance a bit more.
Children are free from worries and smile most of the time. Aren’t
you happy to be out in the open, away from the Family? One more
thing, children aren’t as stuck up as you are, remember, I’ve
wandered through their minds.”

“Now
listen well Tama” Kyo hushed her voice to the lowest.

“We
will never be free from Him until we accomplish what must be and even
then, our only weapon resides in a sterner being than I. We are
talking about a man so locked up, so hard to approach, that it might
be difficult to simply bring out the facts to him when the time
comes. Yes, it was easy back then because at was our world. Today,
the tables are turned and we must be prepared. Until we perform the
request of Mr. Dumbledore, we cannot proceed to our plan, we must
respect the oath. Once done, then maybe –She emphasized on this
word- maybe we could start talking about being free of the Family. As
for my look, I would suggest that you shut your mouth and show
respect.”

“I
know all that, I know. It’s just that, well, forget it. What
if you were wrong? What if Mr. Snape turned out to be a weakling
coward, or worse, a traitor? I am just worried about you”

“Then
at least, we will have honored the Family by giving a helping hand to
Mr. Dumbledore as asked. As for him…” She paused for a
moment, taking a deep breath “…I will kill him
personally if needs be. No more argument from your part will be
accepted. Thank you for your worries, but you better learn to start
protecting your own back.”

“Alright!”
Tama cut this short, annoyed by his sister already. Their plan would
never work if she kept pouting like that.

The train
stopped abruptly, throwing the papers on the ground and making both
of them jump in surprise.

“What’s
wrong?” Tama was bearing a confuse expression.

Kyo
winced. They would never be jumpy for so less back in their world.
The heart of a child was definitely too weak. She stood up and went
for the door. Many students were doing the same, searching right and
left trying to find where the problem could be coming from. Since
nobody was really helping, she got back on her seat. At that moment,
there was another bang and everything went still.

Gradually,
the temperature turned from comfortable to cold and from cold to
absolute glacial. The water lingering on the windows, from the
recent rain, was turning into ice and their breath were forming
considerable amount of vapor. It lasted about fifteen minutes until
the commotion stirred up again in the corridor. Some were saying
that a certain Potter had fainted; others were ready to swear that
two students had died, and finally, a tall man with brown hair and an
awful amount of scars slashing his face passed through the crowds
while commanding the students to keep to their compartments.

The name
Potter wasn’t unknown to her, especially after delving across
the complete Daily Prophet archives. The boy had been defending
himself against one of the most powerful man known to the wizardry
world. Then it stroked her. They should have come to Hogwarts as
teachers, not students. Stupid, stupid, stupid she repeated
to herself.

Tama was
staring out of the window gapping widely. She followed his glance
and immediately understood his reaction. Floating not too far from
the train, was a tall hooded figure, cloak slashed to bits with bony
hands confirming his ‘death’ state. But what was more
than frightening was the hungriness for darkness emanating from their
aura. Even worse than the Fater? Kyo wondered, but she
couldn’t compare those two.

That
thing floating over there could have been human; the shape did look
alike, than again, someone who would look at her now could think the
same. Where were they coming from? She would have to investigate
all this, her curiosity was aroused.

The train
suddenly gave out a loud cry before getting back to its purpose.

They
arrived at the train station and were lead by a huge man, heavy
bearded with sparkling eyes. Tama was overjoyed and Kyo was
expressionless, still deeply lost in the provenance of the Dementors
and the identity of the creatures she witnessed.

“Welcome
everyon’! now follow me.”

They
walked for a short time, before facing a magnificent lake. A fair
quantity of boats was waiting for them and so, they all climbed in
and made ready for the departure. The view offered by the moonlight
was breath cutting, but it was nothing compare to that of the School
itself. Kyo’s childish human heart leapt in joy and she could
not suppress an “Oh!” of appreciation, to the great
pleasure of her brother.

A tall
and thin woman greeted them, her manners were really noble and
genuinely mother like. It was the kind of woman that would not let
you step into stupid situations, even if you tried to convince her of
the need to do so. They would need to avoid her during their
investigation of the castle.

As they
entered the Great Hall, Kyo straighten her robe and kept a high and
stern figure, relief to be in control once again. Her brother, on
the other hand, was walking sloppily, grinning at the ceiling,
totally lost in the wonderful view. Somehow, she accepted this
behavior, she had always been the one that have kept her ‘head’
cool, protecting him the best she could. Sure, he had suffered; but
every time, she had used the bound between them to absorb the biggest
part of his pain, never letting him aware of it. When she was under
the rage of the Father she had always shut the bound completely and
kept him at bay. Her Mother had taught her how to handle this
particular gift and she felt that it was her responsibility to
protect him, to allow him the resemblance of a happy living.

The tall
woman was now explaining the sorting procedures and began calling the
students one by one. This she said that a ‘hat’ would
be responsible for the sorting? Strange technique indeed. Kyo
frowned slightly.

“Kyo
Shirei”

Her
muscles tensed a bit. It still felt awkward to be called up by that
name. Until now, only Tama and the servants had used it. She step
forward feeling the gaze of the students. She took place on the stool
and waited. The Hat remained silence for a moment, trying to figure
out where to put this new student. Not wanting to disturb, Kyo kept
quiet even though the hat was more or less asking her questions.
After deliberating on her different abilities, he finally spoke
clearly.

“Slytherin!”

It was
followed by screams and sparse hand claps from a table close to the
wall. She walked toward it, harboring a powerful and confident look
and took a seat next to a binocular small girl. She never caught the
eyes of a dark robed man fixed on her as she made her way to the
table.

“Welcome
Kyo. I guess your brother will follow you soon. He’s kind of
cute” the girl let out. Cute? Kyo had not been listening
intently to her brother’s teaching; she was now facing the
consequence. She turned toward the crowd of students waiting to be
sorted and watched her brother carefully. Out of pure logic, she
only saw a 5’7 inches boy, dark hairs, light grey eyes,
somewhat tanned skin. How did the girl knew he was her brother?

“What
makes you think that he will join me?”

“Well,
normally, family members tend to be regrouped in the same House,
unless they are totally different all together…I mean …in
their personalities.”

“Why
do you say he is cute?” She might as well starts learning more.

The girl
giggle and her cheek turned to a dark pink color. Kyo raised an
eyebrow, completely clueless.

“He
has a nice face, quite square for his age, but it only adds to his
charm. But his eyes are the first catch. I have never seen a
Japanese boy with eyes like that, it’s amazing, especially with
his dark hair and tan skin.” Then the girl became quiet, shy
all of sudden.

“I
see” Kyo replied flatly, unaware of the uneasiness felt by the
girl. She was focused on the sound of her own voice, which irritated
her. How would see be able to sound confident in the eye of the
Headmaster? Her thoughts were interrupted by the name of her
‘brother’

“Tama
Shirei”

This
sloppy manner was too boyish. Wait a minute; he IS supposed to look
that way. Kyo rolled her tongue insider her mouth, commanding her
mind to shut up. It would get tiring very fast if she couldn’t
control it.

“Ah
Yes! GRYFFINDOR!” The Hat screamed out.

This
time, it was a roar combined with huge clapping sounds that welcomed
the new student. This table is wild thought Tama, not unhappy. He
grinned and went on to take a seat, glancing to his sister for a
brief moment.

She
raised her shoulders in an uncaring fashion.

The
sorting went on, until all students had taken their place with their
new group. During that time, Kyo was scanning the staff table. She
made eyes contact with the old man sitting in the middle of the
staff’s table and was answered by an expecting glare. Most of
the teachers were smiling sincerely and even seemed excited with the
arrival of new “recruits”.

Only one
had a bitter look on his face. Her eyes stayed on the shallow face
until a switch turned on in her mind. It’s him! Her heart went
up racing madly, and even though she should have stopped watching
him, she just couldn’t. Something crept inside her, but she
couldn’t identify its meaning. Stupid me, why didn’t I
take more time to study human’s reaction? The emotion gave
way to another, this time her jaw tightened. Anger! That was
an easy one to remember.

“His
name is Severus Snape, he is our Head House. If you have any
Slytherin issues, he’s the only one to whom you should turn
to.”

“I
understand” Kyo replied, turning her gaze towards the student
who interrupted her staring at the man, all for the better.

“Hey!
You don’t need to sound so formal.” The small group of
youngsters burst out laughing. Kyo didn’t understand this
situation at all, but it made her feel angry once more. This time
though, she kept it to herself, putting back her placid expression
which she had work on for weeks before coming into this world.

“Aw!
Come on, don’t take it that way.”

“Which
way are you talking about? I did not move.” Kyo said in a
complete serious tone.

That
brought another round of laughs. Some were even wiping their eyes
from shed tears.

“Looks
like we ended up with a quite funny girl.” said one tall, long
brown hair guy sitting two places from across.

“Sounds
to me like she’s totally clueless.” drawled another one.

“Ah
come on Draco, that isn’t nice. She’s just a first year,
you won’t scare her out right from the start now can you?”

“Hey
Thready! Where are you from?” Draco was referring to her the
two threads of hair falling along each side of her pale figure. Kyo
had chosen the style from one of the fashion magazines she had found
in Japan.

“My
name isn’t ‘Hey Thready!’, and I come from Japan.”

“Yoohoo!
She got guts the little one; a true Slytherin.” Coming from the
student sitting next to the one called Draco.

“Don’t
you think it’s a bit too soon to give her this title? I think
we should… test her abilities, what do you think Flint?”
A long brown hair girl, probably fourteen years old, was watching Kyo
closely with a hint of malice in her eyes. Pansy hated the girl
already for receiving direct attention of her lovely Draco.

This
unwelcome situation was cut by the Headmaster announcement of the
meal. All tables were soon filled with an enormous amount of food.
They all forgot about her and went to fill and dig into their plates.
Eating was still hard for the siblings. They could not understand
how human enjoyed the aftermath of putting these things inside their
belly. At the moment though, it was not what was bothering Kyo.

She
looked down at her empty plate, tears slowly blurring her vision.
Why was her heart feeling as if someone had crushed it mercilessly?
What’s wrong with me? She tried to remember Tama’s
teaching once again. The emotion that brought tears was often
triggered by sadness. It was overwhelming; she had to find something
to get her mind off it.

She
raised her head and look towards her brother’s table. He was
laughing out loud, while someone was patting his shoulder which seems
to be a behavior of acceptance. That gave her just enough boosts to
get rid of her gloomy feeling. As she turned her back, she caught
sight of her Head House, and again, her heart missed a step. Heat
was rising quickly inside her, alarmed, she knew that she had to do
something and fast.

“Intimidating
isn’t he?” She jolts her head in surprise and turned to
face a pale skin, dark auburn, probably eleven years old as well.
Yes, she remembered seeing him moments before.

“I
guess he is” her voice wasn’t sounding as confident as
she had wished for. Intimidating was probably a feeling. She
instantly related this feeling to the previous reaction of body when
she had look up at him. Good! Let’s keep learning.

“I
heard the complete series Snape’s reign of terror from my elder
brothers. I should mention that they were placed in Gryffindor, just
like your brother over there, so it might make a certain difference.”

Kyo made
a slight nod, trying to look as normal as possible.

“Are
your brothers still here?”

“No,
I am an unexpected offspring. They are all adults now, even some
have kids already.”

“Oh!
You must feel…hum…how do we say? Lonely?”

“God,
you are straightforward.” his tone wasn’t aggressive at
all; he even added a shy smile.

“Things
are difficult to grasp in this wor…I mean this environment. I
am sorry if I did not express myself properly.” Kyo quickly
added feeling again, that she didn’t react the proper way.

“Yes
I know. We tend to make our own little world back home and suddenly,
we are being exposed to a bunch of wizards. School is cruel in a
way.” he let out a little laugh and went on

“My
family isn’t that old, but we do have a complete lineage of
Pure-Bloods which makes acceptance a bit easier. What about you?”

“We
do as well.” Her reply went out quickly, again, making sure
that no confusion could be possible. “My Family has moved into
the Muggle crowd for the mare desire to discover their way of living.
However, the lineage really is a strict issue.”

The boy
didn’t hide is surprise and cut her short “How do you
handle living amongst the Muggle? Isn’t it difficult? I mean,
you had to go to a normal school before moving here?”

“No,
I had my personal tutor. A great man extremely versed in many
different arts of magic.”

“Impressive.
You are lucky.”

“What
do you mean by that?” the shrinking feeling was back again.
Was being “lucky” good or bad? Mother Earth, I
know so little of this world. Everything seemed so easy when she
was watching the lot of them from the sky or the ground during her
wandering as a complete elemental. Something was wrong, her
knowledge and confidence that she always had on the other plane,
seemed to be lacking or dissolving.

“Not
bad at all, it’s actually great. Your family must be wealthy
and that’s a good thing, especially for a member of our House.”

“I
understand”

“What
are those?”

“What?”

“The
stuffed animals snatched to your robe?”

“Oh!
These? They are very popular in Japan. It’s called ‘Hello
Kitty’.” Maybe she should have left this at the mansion.
She thought that it would be a good add on to her disguise.

“It’s
cute.”

“Really?
But it does not have a square face nor grey eyes.” Her face
turned to a bright red.

Fortunately
for her, only he was listening to her, but it did not stop him from
laughing heartily. Seeing her discomfort though, he stop and latch
on an explanation;

“What
I meant was that it looks, well, out could I say it. This is
colorful and the cat shape is really nice”

“I
see. So cats are cute and so are grey eyes and square face. Thank
you very much” Kyo was again more confident about her
knowledge; she gave him a broad smile.

“Now
you’re the one who’s cute” he added in an amusing
tone.

That
feeling again, as if her heart would burst out of her chest. The same
as when her eyes fell on her Head House. Was she intimidated? At
least it felt good if only a bit breathtaking. The type of discomfort
she could live with. She stared at the boy with an unreadable
expression, unable to let her mind relax, she kept listening and
passing comments from time to time until the meal ended.

As they
stood up, the boy presented his right hand to the girl “My name
is Jonathan Lent, nice to meet you”

She
wondered how to react. He was introducing himself, that she
understood, but the hand part was nothing she was used to. Back in
Japan, she had seen people bow when that type of encounter occurred.
So she bowed low enough, respecting the fact that he was the same age
as hers and because he knew more about this place than she did.

He seems
to understand, probably aware of the Japanese ways and he bowed,
although it was a bit awkward. Then, he explained her that in
England, people shake hands when they acknowledged each other. Well
noted she replied.

They were
following an older student that showed them the way to their common
room. It was a big lounge filled with huge wooden tables and English
comfy sofas; the colors of the room were dark but it only brought a
feeling of warmness. They made their way to the dormitory and she
realized that they would be sharing with four other students. The
three girls were overly excited with all the events of the evening.
Kyo, on the other hand, went straight to her bed and sat on it,
breathing deeply, feeling exhausted.

“So,
tell us, what your parents do? How is your family? Do you have other
siblings?”

It took
her sometimes to realize that they were talking to her. She opened
her eyes just to be facing three popping heads observing her in the
most impolite manners.

“You
hair aren’t black, you put a spell on them right?”

“What
are those things dangling from your robes? Can they talk?”

“Is
it true that you live amongst Muggles? That must be dreadful.”

She was
insouciantly twisting a strand of hair between her fingers, already
annoyed of her comrades. Taking a control breath, she went on
answering.

“My
Family possesses and controls half of the Japanese companies. As for
my hair, this is the trend of the country. Those “things
dangling” are Muggles toys. Living with non magical folk isn’t
that much of a deal. Inside our walls, we are using magic all the
time. We just live with them in order to study their behavior. No, I
do not have other siblings except for my brother Tama.”

By the
end of her speech, the three girls were ridiculously gapping at her

That
should keep those mouths shut for a while. As she prepared
herself to go to bed, their babbling went on all at once.

“You
must be very rich!”

“Why
did you come all the way here? Isn’t there any magic school in
Japan?”

“Do
you have a broom? I bet you’ll get the latest model. Oh that’s
right, we’re not allowed on our first year.”

“Are
you going to spend the holidays here? Or are you flying back home?”

“Wow
you’re so lucky”

And it
went on and on until she gave each of them a dangerous glares, and
shut her curtain with a careless wand waving.

Would she
be stuck with them for the whole year? Or worse, for the whole
scholarship? She almost hopes that troubles would start soon,
allowing her to put a stop to this painful masquerade. Shutting her
mind from those trivial thoughts, she went to sleep.

“Good
night Sister”

Her eyes
opened in a flash, heart racing once again, but this time, out of
frustration. The fool! What did I told him earlier?

She left
her brother without reply, certain that it would show him how to
behave. Kyo was suddenly reminded that she could shut the bond at
will, which she did at this instant. She did not believe that any
harm would come to either of them anytime soon.

*****

Kyo woke
up very early for her first day. Taking out her schedule, she
scanned it.

The day
would begin with Transfiguration, followed by Charm. For the
afternoon, she will have History and Potion.

She got
out of bed, dressed up, took her the books pertaining to each subject
of today’s classes and left the room quietly. Great, I’ll
use this free time to investigate the castle.

With
great pleasure, she found the corridors empty. Quietness helped her
focus. She stopped to take out a folded parchment and her wand. She
was ready to create a detailed map of the school. She went on,
walking and drawing with the help of her wand, the numerous
corridors, hallway and rooms.

She
finally reached the library. She stared at the door for a moment,
before taking the decision to enter. Folding back her plan, she
opened the door and chose a table. A group of older students were
also present, flipping through enormous books and taking a lot of
notes. Many looked at them, probably wondering why a first year was
already bent to study. Classes have not even started yet. Missing the
questioning glances, she put her books on the table and sat
gracefully.

It was
the perfect opportunity to evaluate her capacity to reach out to her
limitless mind. She opened herself to relaxation and breathing
slowly, gradually pushing the child in the multiple drawers of the
soul and letting her real self spread out. Of course, remembering to
keep her appearance. To her relief, the exercise proof to be
successful.

She had
given some thoughts about using her power, in order to maximize her
roaming of the castle, and to speed up her studies. She had no idea
when the real danger would knock.

It worked
out just fine as far as the study was concern, because fifteen
minutes of quick reading, had made her go through her five books
required for their Transfiguration class, the three that would be
used in their Charm class, the enormous tome dedicated to the
theoretical and practical art of Potion making. As for History, she
had her share already. Tomorrow she would take care of the other
classes. Dumbledore had allowed them to choose as many classes as
they wish. Magic was not so much of an issue and with their fast
learning abilities they won’t waste time with homework of any
kind.

She would
have plenty of time to concentrate on the real issues. Contracting
her mind to a tiny bits and bringing back the girlish attitude was
still very demanding. Not to omit that sickening that crept inside.
Again, she took long, controlled breathe.

She
stretched gracefully with a sly yawn, though in reality she could
have fainted from the sudden tiredness that filled her whole body.
She lifted her head to find the small group of older students
watching herm eyes practically bulging out of their heads. This must
be part of another way to express a specific emotion. Enough is
enough she told herself.

She stood
up and went to explore the many shelves, searching for a book on
human emotions, manners and nature. Asking her brother would be like
admitting she had not been listening closely before.

Her long
life experience had made her believe that she knew anything there was
to know about human’s relation and feelings, but now that she
was facing their reality, she had to concede that it was not an easy
task. On the other hand, it also strengthened her belief regarding
her plan of action. By learning their way, understanding their minds
and studying any reactions they will have more facility to bend their
will, and maybe avoid unnecessary conflict.

Ah,
excellent! She took a heavy book out of the shelves and went back
to her table. Behaviorism, human’s nature. Confident
that this book would teach her all there was to know about this
species, she smiled prepared to read.

She first
thought of releasing her inner self again, when the logic won over
the practical. The information should sink into her human mind
directly, allowing it to grow. There was chance that she could taint
the concepts if using her elemental perception. Human should
understand themselves more than any other could.

She raged
though, as she saw the time flying by. Good thing she had woke up so
early. It took her an hour to grasp the cause and effect of fifteen
human basic reactions. Classes would start soon, and if she had been
weary earlier, now was even worse. Her eye lids could barely stay
open, and her vision was blurry. Nevertheless, she still had half an
hour to ponder and reconstruct those new concepts

The
toughest one was to accept the fact that humans were actually close
to machines, forced to react to external stimuli. The book associates
those reactions to instincts. Her human mind had refused and is
still firmly rejecting this concept, screaming for its capacity to
control its environment and the certitude that there was a bigger
plan to its existence. She felt has if she had two different
personalities battling insider her head. Dunia cold logic and trained
mind agreed hundred percent, while Kyo was getting angrier, insulted
by the book’s affirmation.

Going
back to yesterday’s events, she remembered the feeling that had
crept inside her and almost made her shed tears. Was it instinct?
She had also fought those tears, not wanting to show any weakness,
but it didn’t felt like back in her world where emotions were
more like tools to help you evolve. Back there, to construct your
surrounding meant that you were able to accept and join with the
emotions in a beautiful display of pure creation.

Yesterday,
she had been overwhelmed by the emotions which were rushing and
threatening to burst her heart in bits. She had to fight to maintain
control, fight not to cry, and fight not to scream. There was nothing
beautiful or creative in dealing with human’s emotions. To her
disgust, it sounded more like a badly handled Master and slave
relationship; the leash always refusing to bend.

A growl
escaped her mouth as she went with her analysis of the few chapters
she’d been able to read.

The book
stated that it was recommended to think before acting. Pure logic,
both Dunia and Kyo admitted. What a relief for once. Still, they both
wondered if everybody followed that logic.

The
beginning of a headache forced her to stop her investigation. It
didn’t matter since it was time to get to her classes. She put
the book back on the shelves, packed her thing and left the Library.

*****

“Can
you believe that they are both siblings? First of all, they are so
different in their manners. Not to forget that they were sorted into
the most opposite Houses. And God, just with their looks, once
seemed to had been thrown from heaven while the other one had
probably been abandoned by the Pit of Doom.”

The
girlish trio giggled cruelly and went on with their chattering.

“Now,
what you say is so true.” said Sarah. She has simple dark blue
eyes always glaring at everyone as if ready to tear their heart and
eat it for dinner.

All heads
nodded in complete agreement. Kyo had a terrible temper and did not
look pretty at all, especially when it came to her dull features and
strange hair style. They couldn’t believe that she belonged to
a Pure Blood family.

“Isn’t
it strange though?” Lilian pointed out. “Have you ever
heard of Japanese with blue eyes, even dark? Or grey eyes for that
matter?”

The three
girls sharing Kyo’s dormitory had already began to act like
true Slytherin, backstabbing their companion without her being there
of course.

As if she
realized what she just said, the blondish girl went on

“I
have to confess that I don’t care if his eyes are grey”
she said in an ecstatic voice.

“You
should take a have seen him when he stood under the sun this morning.
His eyes were reflecting the color of the sky with its touch of grey;
so much that I wished he would have turned his look at me even for a
short time. He’s so handsome” she said languorously

“That’s
so true, but you forgot to point out his magnificent raven black hair
with deep dark blue slashes in it. I bet its all nature, not like his
sister. I spied on him this morning” Sarah admitted, hiding the
flush that came to her cheeks with both hands. He was focused on
some thoughts, his back lent on the wall and cloak open in such a
carefree fashion. And contrary to you Lilian, he did look at me at
that time, though it was a bit creepy, because I was as if he felt my
gaze on him. And, Oh! Wait to hear this. He smiled at me, I swear. I
almost fainted. It’s a good thing that my brother didn’t
pass in the corridor during that moment of pure delight. I would have
been in deep trouble.”

“Yeah
right Sarah, you always come up with something better to impress
people. If you’re so confident in what you’re saying then
you’ll have to prove it to me and have him smile at you again”
Lilian was not even hiding her jealousy.

Those
were of course silly tantrums created by the first girls crush on a
boy. However, Slytherin female tend to be more precocious in regards
to men, than any of the other Houses.

Annoyed,
the girl went on badmouthing their roommate shining from her absence.

“When
you look at Kyo, you can’t say that she’s ugly, but, you
couldn’t say that she’s beautiful either. Her hairs are
a mess, even straight as they are. I mean, who in their right mind,
would ask a hair dresser to cut it in a boyish style in the back and
leave two long threads in the front. It’s so ugly and they’re
not even thinned enough. They keep falling in front of her eyes and
she doesn’t even bother putting them back. As for the color,
that pale brown does not match with her snow white skin.”

“I
don’t know, I like that color and style.” Trisha, who was
the one speaking her mind, didn’t dare looking at the others;
she was the shyest of the three. Even though she agreed with them
for the most part, she did like Kyo’s hair.

“And
it doesn’t match the color of her eyes either.” The two
others ignored the shy girl.

“Aw
you know those spoiled kids; you can’t ask them to be normal.
Just look at Draco with his…”

“Shuush!
Are you mad? You want someone to hear that? He’s in third year
I’ll have you remember. Anyway, have you noticed that they
both wear a ring around their left thumb? Yes! I Swear! At first it
didn’t strike me as odd, but now that I think about it, it’s
just...strange. Hers is blue and his, is red. It does look sexy and
powerful though, even on her. I will ask mum to buy me one, nothing
big of course, just for fun you know?!”

“At
least I agree with you on that. And don’t worry for Draco, my
brother is taller and older than him.” Sarah replied,
readjusting her position, to show her feeling of superiority. She
was the only one in the trio who had a brother at school.

Kyo made
a sudden entrance which resulted in the three girls to yelps
guiltily.

Quickly
though, they took some resemblance of composure, trying to hide their
bad mouthing.. As Kyo entered the room, she could feel the tension
and hypocrisy, two new concepts she learned when she got back to the
library after dinner. She ignored them and simply went to her bed
and shut the curtain. Her first intent had been to forget about this,
but her heart was again threatening to deflate in the most agonizing
way. She opened the curtain and making sure that had their attention,
she spoke;

“If
you wish, I could show you how to create a silence ward. That way,
you wouldn’t have to cut your babbling when I get in. It might
prove to be too difficult to learn though, so next time, I will make
sure to cry out whenever I am coming back”

Forgetting
the advice of the book about thinking before acting, her words had
just sent the sparks of war between her and her roommates.
