Full Summery: Nikky led a normal life as your normal HP fan during her summer before her senior year. But what if everything she ever read is true, and now she is the only one who can help The Chosen One find what he needs to defeat Voldemort for good? Can Nikky really help "the Chosen One remember and make Dark Lord forget?"

THE STRENGTH OF A MUGGLE

Chapter 3: To Obliviate, or Not to Obliviate?

The three joined up with the girl and another young man with dark hair, probably the same age as the girl. They all ran quickly into a house that looked like it hadn't been lived in for years. Wait. Where had it come from, anyway?

"Okay," Val blurted, losing her patience as she so often did. "What the fuck is going on?!"

Nikky studied the other members' faces. The red-heads didn't seem shocked to hear a fifteen year old use such language, but the dark haired boy looked surprised a bit. Val stared at Nikky.

"Am I supposed to know?" Nikky asked quietly. She wanted to be left alone. She didn't need her younger sister yelling at her.

"Well, you should!" Val yelled angrily. "You're the expert on weird things happening!"

"Well, I don't know, okay?!" Nikky screeched, the tears falling. "I don't know…I don't…." Nikky fell to the ground sobbing.

By some weird turn of events, Nikky felt her sister embrace her. Val hadn't hugged Nikky in a long time. Nor had Nikky seen her cry since.

The red head young man ignored the sobbing sisters, approaching the red head girl.

"Why do they have bags?" He asked her. His arms were folded but Nikky could see something he held in his hand. Was that a…wand?

"You know our orders, Phillip," the girl answered flatly. "She has to come with us."

"I didn't hear such orders," answered the red-head man.

"Well, I did," the girl stated. "And I'm sure Sirius agrees with me!"

Wait, Sirius?

"Oh, Presea, don't drag me into this," the dark haired boy pleaded.

"Well maybe Phillip needs to learn to follow orders! Or at least hear them!"

"Okay, forgive me for being cautious, cousin-dear," Phillip said sarcastically. "What about her sister? Do we really need to bring her?"

"You better shut the fuck up," Val murmured.

"What was that?" Phillip rounded on Nikky and Val.

"Nothing," Val answered, feigning innocence, her green eyes flashed.

Phillip rolled his eyes and turned back to the other two. "I say we Obliviate her memory right now."

"Phillip, will you calm yourself," said the other boy called Sirius. "This is no time to-,"

"I didn't hear anything about her sister, so…."

He had his wand at the ready. What ever was to happen right now, Nikky knew she couldn't be alone. She needed Val.

Nikky stood up in front of her sister.

Phillip looked at her impatiently. "Hey, could you move, kid."

"Whatever is going on," Nikky professed, standing tall and firm, "I want my sister with me."

"Look, just move, all right?" Phillip insisted.

"You are just like that girl said. You don't listen! I'm not moving. Whatever is going on, I want Val with me." Nikky paused for a breath. "Where I go, she goes."

A silence befell the room. Finally, Phillip replaced his wand in his robe pocket. Nikky sat down, but in front of Val. She didn't trust Phillip. He seemed crazier than Nikky thought herself to be.

The girl, Presea, pushed Phillip aside. She glared at him then looked back at Nikky and Val.

"I'm sorry, but my cousin is a horrible brute," Presea said, eyeing Phillip. "Anyway, we haven't been properly introduced. I'm Presea Weasley." She indicated the dark haired boy. "That's Sirius Lupin. And that dunderhead over there is Phillip Weasley."

Nikky nodded at each introduction. Obviously, Presea got irritated with her cousin frequently.

"And your names?" asked Sirius.

Val spoke as soon as Nikky had her mouth open.

"I'm Val Baylor and I would like to know what in God's name is happening!" Val demanded.

Sirius and Presea looked at each other the back to Val. "We'll explain that in time, Val," Sirius replied. They all turned to Nikky. She was excited, scared, and confused all at once. The mixture of emotions didn't suit her. Just being confused bothered her.

"I'm Nicolette Baylor," Nikky finally said. "You can just call me Nikky."

"Well, now that we all know each other," Presea said, seeming to be in a better mood. "I think it's about time we left." She looked at Nikky. "Do you have the books?"

"Yeah," Nikky answered. "But what do they have to do with anything?"

"I'll explain later," she answered. From a closet she produced five brooms. When she tossed Nikky hers, she found it to be a Nimbus 2000. Her stomach flipped with excitement.

"They're all old models," Presea said. "But I'm sure they'll do." She looked at the sisters. "You can ride, right?"

Val shrugged. "How hard can it be?"

"We'll see," Presea said. "Put your broom on the ground." Val raised an eyebrow at Presea, but did as she was told. "Now, put your had over it and say 'up.'" Val did just that. The broom simply sat on the floor. "Try again," insisted Presea. Finally after many tires and Val's face going red with frustration, the broom finally flew into her hand. She jumped a bit, but caught it remarkably.

"About average," Sirius said behind Presea. Phillip snorted. Presea rolled her eyes then turned to Nikky.

"You're turn," she said. Nikky took a deep breath as she placed her broom on the floor. She held her hand over her broom, and commanded from her diaphragm, "Up!" The broom flew into her hand at once.

The three wizards in the room (Nikky finally concluded that was what they were after a long debate with herself) stared at Nikky. Though she was a theatre student, Nikky did not like this attention.

"No fair," Val protested, being her competitive self. "She's got a better broom."

"Actually, you have the same brooms," Sirius pointed out, still staring at Nikky. Nikky looked down. What was the big deal?
