Chapter 1: September First
Information:
Hey, the character's name is Kiera Electra MacManus. Her first name is Irish and middle name comes from stars. Her last name comes from her mother, but her true last name is Black, for she is the daughter of Sirius Black (legitimate born after her parents were married.). She has a brother, Connor James McManus. Connor was their Ma's favorite name for a boy, and James was Sirius's best friend. He and Kiera are twins. Connor can control music, electricity, and has the power of extreme persuasion. He can also use music to plant thoughts in people's minds. Kiera has the power to control the following without a wand: metal, air, water, fire, air, darkness, earth. She can also shapeshift into any form of the aforementioned elements. She is a female version of her father. Almost black, long, curly hair. Striking dark blue eyes. Pale skin. Athletic body (with great curves). Beautiful face. Her personality is also very much like her father's. Her brother looks somewhat like her, but has some traits from their mother. She just finished her third year as a Gryffindor at Hogwarts. She, along with Fred and George Weasley are one year ahead of the trio. Fred and George are two of her best friends. She lives in Dublin, Ireland, and has an Irish accent. Sorry if how I write her accent is incorrect or doesn't make sense. Please just try to imagine the accent.
"HEY KIERA! Wait up!!" I turned as I heard a very familiar voice call my name. And I immediately spotted the two blokes with longish red hair running at top speed, and heading straight for me.
Oh shit, they're gonna flatten me out like the fake face in Mrs.Doubtfire by the bloody truck!!
Within two seconds I was swept off my feet and crushed by one of the Weasley twins.
But which one?
I was put down and now looked up to see a grinning face with hazel eyes.
George.
" 'Ello George! AHHH!" I scream as I am again swept off my feet by this one being Fred. Sure enough, when I look down, this twin has blue-green eyes. Definitely Fred. He put me down and ruffled my hair.
"Hi Fred!" I greeted him.
" 'Ello Kiera." They chorus. I laughed. These two are too twin telepathy like for the terrific school of Hogwarts and it's awesome pupils. (Thought in a sarcastic tone.)
"Let's go grab a seat before there all taken." I told them. They nodded in agreement. We headed for the Hogwarts Train stationed at Platform 9 and ¾, King's Cross Station. Us three clambered aboard, shuffling through the corridor. Towards the back, there was an empty compartment. We decided to sit there and the three of us put our trunks up in the racks. Once that was done we all settled down, George laying down on one seat, Fred and I lounging on the other.
"So how was yer summer lads?I asked.
"Great,-" George started.
"Smashingly-" Fred continued.
"Spectacular." the twins finished. I grinned. So today is a day where you have to play 20 questions. Oh, who am I kidding, it is rarely a day when you don't have to play 20 questions with these two.
"What exactly did ye two do? I doubt it was spent doing nothing, and completing yer homework from last year." I poked around.
"Actually, it was spent creating some of the pranks we shall be using this year, along with hanging out with the family, and Harry, and Hermione. Oh, and puzzling Sirius Black's escape from Azkaban. And you?" Fred replied. When I heard Sirius Black's name, the wind was knocked out of me. Sirius Black escaped AZKABAN! This can't be happening. NO, no, no, no, no! I could feel myself pale dramatically from my normal fair skintone. Apparently, so did Fred.
"Kiera, are you ok? What's wrong?" he worried over me. I turned to him. I can't tell them, they'll hate me, but what if…
"Who escaped?" I squeaked out.
"Sirius Black. Didn't you know? How can't you have heard? And why does it affect you so much?" He asked me. I could see George staring intently at me.
"Can I have a sec to call me ma and Connor? Please lads." I practically begged. They exchanged looks and nodded.
"But on one condition. We stay in the room, because we can tell that right now you are hiding something." George stated. Oh god, but I can't … oh shit, well I guess now is better than ever.
"Ye have to promise me that ye won't hate me or avoid me, and will continue to be my friend." I pleaded. Their eyes widened, for they knew this meant that I had a dark secret. They both nodded without hesitation.
"Okay, well just listen in on the conversation, because I can't tell ye outright." I told them. The twins agreed. I pulled out my cellphone and dialed Connor's number. After the first ring, he picked up.
"Ya, who's this?" he asked.
"It's me, Kiera. Did ye know that Sirius Black escaped?" I dropped the news like a nuclear bomb. He didn't responded for a long time.
"Conn?" I timidly asked.
"I'm here. He ESCAPED is that even possible, I mean no one has ever escaped, oh shit what about mom?" he ranted.
"Connor, calm down. I bet he isn't after us, probably only after Harry, and if he manages that, what do I do when our darling father recognizes his only daughter?() I mean I can't just go up to him and be like 'Hi daddy, remember me, yer daughter who was three years old when ye killed 12 muggles and blew up Peter Pettigrew, earning a one way ticket to Azkaban.'(). No, it doesn't work that way. And someone is bound to recognize me heritage, what do I say then! I could just make up a story of being descended from a Black but not precious Da (dad)." I lectured, meanwhile watching Fred and George, soon to be ex-best friends. At place of first astrix, they looked at each other confused. During the sentence before the second and third astrixes, their eyes widen as realization and shock dawn on their faces. Wonderful.
"Funny, Kiera. This is serious (no pun intended). And come up with a good excuse for looking like him, you're good enough with lies. I'll take care of mom. Look, just take care of yourself." My brother's sarcastic reply comes back.
"I will ye take care of yerself also. Tell Ma I said hi and I love ye. I love ye too. Talk to ye later." I said to him.
"Love you. Bye." he hung up. I shut my phone and realized I was standing up, looking out the window. I let myself sink to the floor and curl up, burying my face into my knees. Tears fell silently from all the anger, sadness, and stress I felt. Ma kept up with the news everyday and she didn't mention ANYTHING. I felt my body start to shake in rage. I could faintly make out the twins' whispering.
"She is his daughter?" I heard George exclaim.
"Does that bother you? I mean honestly, you don't pick your parents. And look at her. Have you ever seen her this… upset?" Fred countered and faintly, breathlessly, as if in pain added "look at her."
George took a moment "You're right. Go ahead you can go cuddle with her. I know you want to." George's tone was teasing, but I would puzzle over that later.
"George, this is not the time. But I will take your suggestion, and put it into action." Fred replied hotly. I felt two arms snake around me from the side, and I leaned into them. I could feel a hand caress my hair while my body displayed my emotions. My stress and sadness dried up. I could feel my anger come back again, except more dangerous. Oh no…
"Fred, back up for a second, please, I don't want to hurt ye." I strained to say. He heard it and backed off. As soon as he did, I let my emotions take over. Being so furious caused flames to erupt all over my body, turning my hair into it's only single strands of fire and my eyes to dance with flames. I wasn't being burned, for this was completely natural for me. I saw the horror on Fred and George's faces, and so I regained control of my emotions enough for there only to be balls of fire in my palms.
"I'm sorry, I lost control of me emotions for a second. I didn't mean to scare ye." I apologized.
"It's ok Kiera. But what we heard you say to your brother, is it true?" Fred recovered first.
I nodded. "Yes, it is. Ye can hate me if you want."
"We're ok with it Kiera, we were just a bit mad that you didn't tell us earlier, but we understand." George told me.
"Thank ye." I gratefully said.
"Now you have to explain the fire and why you have no burn marks." Fred pointed out.I groaned.
Time for the Interrogation…
