How I Changed Fate-Chapter 3: Hanging Out in the Regan Private Room

After quite a bit of time my Mhamó reappeared. "Mo bhláth beag, this is going to take some time I am so sorry but, we'll have to order your school supplies again this year. I know you really wanted to try shopping this year, but everyone at the ministry is trying to stop me from helping Mr. Potter here."

"So, what should I do now Mhamó?"

"We won't be able to finish anytime today, so go to our private room where it is safe."

"I have to spend a night alone in that room." Mrs. Wesley heard that sentence and stared at the people sharing my table. She ordered the people at the table. "You all will keep Miss Regan company till her grandmother is able to get back for her."

Mhamó replied, "That's a good idea since I was also going to have Harry here stay in the room too."

"Why would you do that Mrs. Regan?" Harry asked.

"Out of all the rooms in this place that one would be the safest for you, and until we can locate your magical guardian, I will be taking care of you."

Harry seemed shocked but managed to stand and gave Mhamó a hug saying, "I may not understand why you wish to have me under your care but I am grateful to you."

Mhamó nearly in tears said, "Gasúr*, had I known about your lifestyle before today I would have gone and saved you ages ago. Now please release me so that I can continue with my objective of saving you?"

Harry quickly let her go and she left with a pop. I sighed. "I guess we should go and warm up the rooms. Thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. Wesley for your lovely company but the Regan rooms a wait us. I hope you don't mind Harry and I getting settled in the rooms. You guys should follow me."

We all said a brief goodbye to my Mhamó and made our way to the rooms. Once we arrived, I sat down and suddenly felt very tired. "You guys are free to talk and hang out. I am going to nap right here on this couch."

I closed my eyes and let myself gather energy. While I did this the four of them began talking. Harry started with a question. "So, what exactly is an Elemental Empath?"

Hermione, of course, had the answer. "Well, they are people with the ability to feel the emotions of others and with the aid of nature understand what happened for those feelings to occur. They can also use nature to change the feelings of those around them."

"Why was she just with her Grandma?" Harry asked.

"Harry, she's an orphan, her parents, like yours, were killed during the war."

"Is there a reason her parents were killed?" Ron asked.

"The Regan's have always been helpful in the judicial process. Their abilities to know what others are feeling helped bypass others resistance to the truth serum as well as those under the Imperious curse. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named, feared that any spy he tried to put into the Ministry would be found out by them. They were on vacation when they were killed, they were one of the few purebloods that refused to join his side." Hermione answered.

"So," started Harry, "when you touch them what happens?"

"Well Harry, the direct contact with that person makes them super focused so much so that they can only feel the other person. Their abilities become so heightened that they can feel every emotion you have ever felt, or they can make you feel any feeling they want you to. They can be your strongest ally or your scariest enemy. If they ever choose a side in any war that side would never lose." She said.

The room was quiet until George spoke up. "What would happen if you touched them as they slept?"

Fred answered. "She'd probably wake up. Don't touch her George you might spook her."

Hermione answered. "I honestly have no idea what would happen, but assuming that when they are asleep, they aren't in control of their powers then you would probably overwhelm their senses and start a horrible storm outside until you stopped touching them."

I woke up. "Actually," I said, "it would be worse then a storm. It would depend on what emotions you have experienced in life what you would get. If you had a bright, warm, happy life the sun would cause a drought. Touching a Regan while they slept will put them in harmony with every emotion you felt and cause natural disasters to occur. It is not okay to touch me while I sleep because then I would know all of your emotions at any time for the rest of your life."

"Why did you think Scabbers wasn't entirely a rat?" Ron asked trying to change the topic.

"Animals have emotions too but they are usually feeling hunger, or happiness. I have never come across an animal that felt so violent towards a human before, especially an animal that was a house pet. It didn't feel right for a rat to feel the urge to kill me just for standing in its presence."

They all nodded as that made sense to them. "I wonder," Fred said, "if this has anything to do with the escaped convict."

"You mean Sirius Black? What could he possibly have to do with our family rat?" George asked

I answered. "Well, what if Sirius black knew somebody who was like Professor McGonagall and could transform into a rat that just happened to be housed by your family but didn't know it till there was a picture of your whole family, and the rat, on the front page of the Daily Profit?"

They all stopped and thought for a second. Hermione was the first to ask a question. "So, he broke out of Azkaban just to go after a person who could turn into a rat? Why would he?"

"I don't know. It's not like I can read minds. I only know feelings and he is definitely too far away for me to feel." I couldn't tell them what I knew. I couldn't say that Sirius is Harrys Godfather and that the only reason he was imprisoned was because he was set up and that he didn't even get a trial. I had an idea though. "Hey, Hermione, do you happen to know what he was in jail for?"

She thought for a minute and then answered. "I have no clue but that gives me an idea, if we find out why he was sent to jail maybe we will get a better idea about what he is trying to achieve. Now, the only question is where do we start?"

The clock bell went off signaling the time of ten o'clock at night. "We can think of the best people to ask and discuss tomorrow on the train," said Harry.

We all nod and make our way into the various rooms for the night. I couldn't stop myself from smiling at how well I had begun to change the fate in the story. I knew that I would be able to really change Harry's fate. I fell asleep with hope for the future.

Mhamó= Grandma, Gasúr= Boy, child

Please remember I am not Irish! Google translate gave me three words for child I chose the only one that did not also mean baby. If there is a specific word meaning a boy child, like Spanish has, in Irish then please tell me. Thanks! Bye-Bye
