Last Chapter Ending

Time for Interrogation…

"Uh, I think one secret for a day is enough, don't ye? Dumbledore said that I'm not supposed to tell anyone or show anyone anything similar to what just happened. I needed to release my anger for a sec, and that's cause it'll put yerselves and meself in danger. Now, listen just cause I ain't telling ye lads this moment don't mean I can't in the future." I told them. "Now how bout we just stick to questions bout me family. Ok?"

"Alright Kiera. So Black is your dad? Please just tell us the story from the time your parents started to date up to now for us." George said.

"Okay… Black is me Da, and me parents were friends since third year. Me Da's friends were Remus Lupin, James Potter, and Peter Pettigrew. The four of 'em called themselves the Maurauders. I will not explain the names, fer that is another story fer another day. Me Ma started to date me Da in his sixth year. She was his closest friend outside of the Maurauders. They eventually fell in love, blah blah blah. Well soon after school, they got married. Ma was quickly pregnant with twins, me and me brother. About one year later, James and Lily were married. After a couple of months Lily was pregnant with Harry. Skipping ahead to the night when Harry's legend was born. I remember overhearing me Da talking to me Ma about not being James's Secret Keeper. I didn't know what it meant then. Then that fateful night me Da, had found out about what was happening. But he got their too late. He then went after Peter Pettigrew. He had found him by the end of the week. Me Da tried to kill Peter Pettigrew, and succeeded as far as I know, and ended up killing 12 muggles in the process. I was three when it happened. Me Ma was upset. We had been living in the Irish countryside, but after this, we moved to Dublin hoping to become less of a target because of the massive population, instead of an isolated homestead. I grew up with me Ma explaining it all, but me and me brother kept our Ma's last name fer our sakes. Then I was sent here fer school, whilst me brother goes to Ireland's magical all boys school. Me Ma did it so that me brother and I got used to not always being together. The school is a bit above average, but tis known fer it's parties. God help those poor teachers that work their." At that the twin's laughed. "I remember me Da treating us like we was the best things the world could offer. He loved us very much. I've never talked to him since his arrest. I'm not sure what I would say either. Uncle Remus would drop by often ta make sure that me family was doing alright. And you know about me life since that first ride here on this train." The two grinned at me. They gave me a group hug and I laughed. We started to joke around a bit, when the train stopped. We all looked at each other confused.

"I know we aren't there yet." I told them. They nodded in silent agreement. Suddenly, the room's temperature dropped so much that we could see our breath in the air. What the hell? Just after that thought, all I felt was sadness, and despair. Dementors…

"Pull out yer wands. When ye see a dementor, I want ye to concentrate on yer happiest memory, and say 'Expecto Patronum'. I might go under, but don't worry bout it. I have some pretty bad memories, and so ye just get them out of here with that spell, then worry about me." I instructed. They agreed to follow orders. As soon as they did about, three dementors came to our compartment and headed for me. Awful memories of despair, loneliness, and sadness overcame me. With all the stress, and the fact that happiness today was already going to be hard to achieve made me an even bigger target along with my memories. I fainted, falling into a memory.

Memory

I was standing in front of me Ma with me brother. I was about three, I guessed.

"Ma where's Da?" I asked, my voice trembling as I looked up at her tear-streaked depressed face. More tears escaped.

"Ma?" I attentively prodded.

"Da isn't coming home, kids. Da is being sent away. He's been bad." My mother tried to explain to me and Connor.

"Why?Why was Da a bad boy?" I tearfully exclaimed.

"He did something bad, something I can't explain. I'm so sorry." She choked out before erupting into sobs of sadness. Me and Connor were crying and we went to Ma. We had sat down in the middle of the hall way and cried ourselves to sleep that night. Twas the worst night in me life, to lose me Da like that.

End of Memory

I was being softly shaken. I slowly opened me eyes to see Fred leaning over me. I could feel the tears on my cheeks. He was so concerned, it was almost frightening.

"Kiera, are you alright?" he asked softly.

"I guess Fred. Just me worst memory." I replied. I began to sit up and lean against the bottom of the seat.

"You scared us real bad there. You were crying uncontrollably and whimpering has if in so much pain you couldn't bear it." George told me. I could hear the worry in his voice.

"Like I said, bad memories."

I sat there for a couple of minutes when a man wearing shabby clothes, and graying brown hair walked in.

"Uncle Remus!" I exclaimed and jumped up to hug him. He hugged me just a fiercely back.

"Kiera. Are you okay? Here eat some chocolate." He handed me a big piece of chocolate knowing that dementors would have a serious effect on me (again no pun intended). I took it and started to nibble on it. He handed two slightly smaller pieces to Fred and George. They looked confused.

"Eat it, it helps, trust me." I ordered them. They bit into it and continued to. Good boys. "Uncle Remus, what are ye doing here? I thought ye was back in Ireland. Or somewhere else. Ye a new teacher? Defense Against the Dark Arts? Am I right?" I bombarded him with questions. He chuckled.

"Same Kiera. Yes, I am a new teacher, and I will be teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts. Needless to say that you are right." He answered. I squealed in excitement.

"Ye're going to be such a great teacher, especially fer this subject Uncle Remus." I told him.

"Glad you think so. I will be seeing you later, as well as you two." He finished looking at George and Fred. "Kiera has told me about you. Fred and George Weasley I assume." They nodded.

"I know your father and mother very well. You looking like your namesake, which is a very good thing." He concluded, smiling all the while. He turned back to me. "I shall see you later Kiera." He said and ruffled my hair affectionately, before leaving. Oh, this shall be so much fun. Maybe Lupin can tell me a few of his old pranks…Yeah right. If anything, he'll make sure I'm not pulling too many pranks.

"That's Lupin, like from the story, Lupin?" George clarified. I simply nodded.

"He's a bit shabby looking ain't he fer a teacher?" Fred continued.

"He may be, but that tis only cause he feels that ye should spend money on more important things. And even though he looks shabby, he sure as hell tis a lot smarter than ye would think." I replied.

"Oi! Do you think he'll make a good Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher?" Fred questioned me.

"Aye, I do. Probably the best we'll ever have." I answered.

Fred and George just looked at each other and shrugged. We were still talking and such about several things til it came time to change. Fred and George agreed to go to the bathrooms down the hall and let me get changed in the compartment. I locked the door with a truly simple spell and cast a Glass Darkening charm on the windows so that no one could see me. I had gotten out of me clothes, and had put on me skirt. I had pulled on me blouse, and twas about to start buttoning it up, when the twins had gotten past me lock on the door, and were now in the compartment with the door closed. I had turned to see who it was that had come in. Fred and George looked at me and wolf-whistled. I quickly buttoned up me shirt then turned around and smacked them both upside the head.

"Have ye ever heard of a thing called privacy?" I yelled at them. I swear, one of these days… I turned back to me clothes and grabbed me socks, boots, tie, and cloak. I put on me socks, and pulled on me boots that come to a little bit below the knee. I slid me girl's tie on so that it hung loose from me neck. Lastly, I pulled me cloak over me shoulders, and pulled the hood up. I had already redone me make-up so that I was pale instead of sun-kissed. I had darkened me eyeliner put dark gray eyeshadow on. Then I put on silver lipgloss. I looked every bit haunting yet beautiful. My dark hair was sitting on me shoulders and cascading down my back till it reached me waist. When I sat down and peered over at the twins, I noticed George watching Fred, and Fred watching me. I gave him a teasing smile.

"I never thought the day would come when I had rendered ye speechless, Fred." I lightly spoke. He snapped out of it.

"I never thought the day would come when you could actually make a male do something, and not because of your threatening temper." Fred replied just as lightly.

"Oi, are ye sayin ye thought I would be an ugly duckling. Well shame on ye Fred. I think that George is me new favorite twin." I told them. George laughed.

"I didn't mean it like that. I meant that I never thought the day would come when you would figure out how to use your looks to your advantage instead of your temper." Fred explained. I snorted. Time to show him what I know…I tilted me head to the side, put me legs so that their was about a quarter inch of space between me knees, parted me lips ever so softly, exposed some of me neck and looked at Fred through me eyelashes, eyes smouldering.

"I know more then ye think." I whispered with a slightly seductive edge to it. Fred just stared and then gulped. I couldn't contain me laughter, and neither could George. Fred blushed.

"I underestimated you, Kiera." He acknowledged. I nodded in thanks.

"You got him good, Kiera. You got him good." George praised me.
