"So what in the world are you talking about?" asked Kiara,
"I'll explain everything but all I ask is that you listen without interrupting," said Remus sounding very serious,
"Alright," said Kiara,
"Ok, well the world is divided into two different types of humans, muggles or non-magical people and witches and wizards. Now the reason you have not heard of our kind is quite strange because you are obviously a witch…"
"How do you know?" blurted out Kiara,
"Because if you weren't you would not be able to see this castle. I am guessing the person that was following you stopped because what he saw you running into was a run down house saying danger or something quite similar. You see the magic world is to be kept completely secret from muggles because if they found out they would want to use magic for everything."
"But – but this is impossible!" said Kiara,
"How so?" asked Remus,
"Well I can't be a witch!"
"Why not?"
"Because magic does not exist and - and this is just a really strange dream," Kiara pinched herself, "Ow!"
"Not a dream," smiled Remus,
"What are you smirking about?" asked Kiara in fake irritation because in reality she was extremely relieved that she was not dreaming but also extremely overwhelmed by all this new information.
"One thing, if all you're saying is true I want you to prove it," said Kiara smugly,
Remus smiled "Alright," he said, he pulled out his wand and said "Lumos," and his wand tip lit up. "There"
"And how do I know that there isn't a torch inside that stick of wood,"
"Remus sighed, "Fine nox. Um… a spell let me think… ok I've got one…but will that work. Honestly where's Sirius when you need him."
"Serious?" asked Kiara,
Remus laughed, "No, no I have a friend whose name is Sirius,"
"Oh,"
"Hmm, well let's see if you'll believe this spell then. Orchideous!" said Remus and a bunch of flowers appeared out of his wand.
Kiara just stood there with her mouth open. "B-but how d-did you…"
"Magic," said Remus with a slight smirk handing the flowers to Kiara.
Kiara took them and was still staring at them open mouthed. Remus seeing that her expression had not changed chuckled silently to himself. Suddenly they heard footsteps and a boy of about sixteen years appeared, spotting the two of them he ran up to them and bent over clutching his sides. He was quite tall and handsome. He had dark hair that reached just above his shoulders and chocolate brown eyes.
"Finally Remus, I looked everywhere and…" Sirius spotted Kiara who was now staring at him instead still with her mouth slightly open. "Why hello there," said Sirius planting his trademark grin on his face.
Kiara gave him a weak smile.
"So what's your name?" asked Sirius,
Remus frowned; the girl had only been in the castle for five minutes and already Sirius was hitting on her. Honestly he has to learn to control himself thought Remus to himself.
"Uh i-it's Kiara," said Kiara quietly,
"A beautiful name for an equally beautiful lady,"
Kiara smiled again although a bit stronger this time.
"Sirius why were you looking for me?" asked Remus,
Sirius turned to Remus, "Well, because of your um…y-your…uh…medical condition," said Sirius stealing a glance at Kiara but she was now looking at Remus.
"Oh, are you alright?" she asked feeling even more guilty about knocking into him earlier.
"Yeah I'm fine," said Remus and Kiara realized that he was quite pale compared to Sirius.
"So you're Sirius," she said turning back to the tall boy.
Sirius looked at her and smiled, "Yep,"
Suddenly they heard the footsteps of two people running and around the corner came two more boys. The taller one had messy jet black hair, was quite muscular, had hazel eyes and wore round glasses and had managed to reach them in a couple of seconds. The other boy was shorter, had brown hair and was rather large around the stomach but not overly fat. He took a little longer to reach them, by which time he was red, sweaty and out of breath.
"This is James and Peter," whispered Remus to Kiara pointing to each boy as he said their name.
"I found Remus," Sirius pronounced proudly sticking out his chest.
Remus frowned again. Kiara was now staring at the other two boys.
"Hey who's she?" asked James, looking at Kiara,
"This is Kiara…" started Sirius,
"…and she just realized that she is a witch and just saw magic for the first time," concluded Remus.
James eyes went wide, "You serious?" he asked Remus.
"No James his Remus, I'm Sirius, honestly and you call yourself a friend," said Sirius,
The three boys' and Kiara all looked at him all not believing his lame joke.
"What?" asked Sirius, the others just shook their head's and Remus nodded at James.
"Wow!" breathed James, "You're gonna need a guide around the castle and who better than the famous marauder's"
"I think you mean infamous," said Remus quietly,
"Marauders?" asked Kiara,
"That's what James dubbed us," answered Remus,
"Oh," said Kiara, "Uh, guys I would like you to show me around but not tonight because I am really tired if that's alright,"
"Sure," said James, Remus and Peter at the same time.
"Would you like me to carry you?" asked Sirius giving her a suggestive wink.
"Uh, no thanks I can walk," said Kiara slightly disturbed.
Sirius looked slightly disappointed but pushed the matter no further, which Remus was grateful for. Sometimes he would go on for hours on end. They had reached the fat lady in about twenty minutes. Kiara had done quite well, she had even missed the trick step but Peter hadn't and they spent about two minutes trying to pull him out. Sirius and James took it in turns to point out stuff to her that usually had been damaged by one of their pranks. Remus noticed that Kiara was much more relaxed; she was smiling more and even giggled when Sirius was running up the stairs but slipped and fell down.
"What's the password?" said James as they approached the fat lady.
"It's…" started Remus,
"We don't need the password," said Sirius practically bounding up the stairs,
Peter looked at him, "Why?"
Sirius ignored him and went up to the fat lady who seemed to be in a deep slumber.
"Um, Remus what do they mean?" asked Kiara quietly,
All the boys were staring at a lady sleeping when Sirius started to talk.
"My dear lady!" said Sirius in a loud voice and bowing.
The fat lady awoke with a start and saw the four boys and Kiara.
Kiara gave a small scream and grabbed Remus' arm.
"What are you all doing out of bed. Oh that must be the new girl," she said pointing at Kiara.
Kiara didn't move still scared that a painting was talking and moving. Because when they were walking back all the other people in the pictures had been sleeping.
"My dear lady would you be so kind to allow us in," said Sirius with a wink,
The fat lady scowled at him. "There is no entry without the password,"
"But…" started Sirius,
The fat lady shook her head. Remus pushed his way to the front knowing that if he didn't act soon they would be locked out.
"Star light," said Remus and the fat lady swung open.
