Chapter 4: Hiroko's explanation
Hisakata winced as Harry, Ron, and Hermione stared at her with expectance. Dumbledore smiled at her with patience.
"Well, when I was much younger, I lived in my realm until he took over." She shrugged hoping to be evasive.
"Who is he?" Hermione asked curiously, while Hisakata gave her a mild glare.
"He is called Eiri. The realm of spirits was once a peaceful place. Our world is filled with trees and spirits. Fearies, and many things that don't exist in this world. There was no evil creatures until Eiri was created. We are all made by imaginations of mundane beings. We are able to conceive, and reproduce after that, we are a living species. Our realm, is entirely of magic, and was created by the Lords themselves. They left the gift of humans to create us, without their knowledge. Our realm is filled abandoned or forgotten imaginary guides, and creatures thought up in dreams, and creatures that humans wish existed to save them. One child, whose thoughts were dark and bitter from pain, thought of Eiri. He was strong with the powers the child gave him in his imaginings. He easily took control of the whole realm, since we were a peaceful place, and had no reason to fight ever. We had no military. We were destroyed. My mother and father fled with me, and my siblings Ame and Taiyou. We hid in Japan, in the Island of Okinawa. I was 5 then, and don't remember much about my world. But I remember the night we had to flee. Eiri was furious that we escaped him. He had made a dark empire. And he found us when I was 12. On the night of the Chinese New year, we fled on our yacht. And we fled here. I was admitted into Hogwarts under the impression I was a normal witch." Hisakata leaned back.
"So he is after you because you fled him, and are not under his power?" Harry asked, narrowing his eyes. Hisakata nodded.
"In a sense..yes." she murmured. Hermione stared at her amazed.
"So your different. Surely you must look different." She whispered.
"Will you show us?" Hermione asked, gasping. Hisakata stared at her.
"The fact that he has found me puts you in danger, Ron in danger, Harry in danger. This school, will be brought down. I shall not give my true form a go, mainly because if I did, my full power would be released. And once that happens, I would be like a beacon of light, so easy to pinpoint in the blackness." Hisakata stood almost angrily, her usually soft features cold, and Hermione scooted back in her seat. Dumbledore stood up and walked to her and lightly placed his hands on her shoulders.
"You shall be safe so long as you are here."
"But I have to go. He knows where I am. That will put everyone in danger and me!" Hisakata stammered.
"You shall be safe, so long as you are under Hogwarts protection my dear. Harry, I know how this is going to bother you but, if the time comes to where we need them, I will call upon the Dementors. My dear, do not fret, just concentrate getting ready for your finals." Dumbledore twinkled merrily.
"But…"
"My dear, you're a student a Hogwarts, no matter who or what you are. Harry has Voldemort on his tail all the time…and you have a mysterious creature named Eiri. I am sure, we will deal with it, as we always have. Your welcome here, nothing can change that. Off to bed now…all of you." Dumbledore said almost sternly.
As Hisakata climbed into bed, she thought long and hard about how she was welcome…never before once someone had found out about them, could her family ever stay in the area. Hisakata turned and buried her face into her pillow…to hide the silent tears of gratitude.
