I handed Christian some food and I said, "Here eat this." I watched as he took the plate of food and he carefully ate. I smiled as he began to eat happily. I ate. I thought about my mother and I felt tears run down my cheeks. I set the plate down and I got up and I exited my bubble. I felt the light rain on my face. I heard, "Mistress of light, please come back, you'll catch your death of cold." I turned around and I said, "But you should come out here and feel the rain on your face. It is wonderful." I heard, "No." I began to spin and I began to laugh. I heard, "Akiko…where are you?" I gasped and I ran to the cave. I watched from my bubble as Harry, Uncle Serevus, and Professor Dumbledore went by. I could have sworn that Professor Dumbledore looked right at me. I sat down and I watched as the came into the cave. I heard, "Albus we will never find her. What am I going to tell her father? Oh hi Sirrus, Where's Akiko? Well we lost her in the Forbidden forest." I felt tears falling freely down my pale cheeks. I whispered, "I am all right, just leave me alone for awhile." I watched as all three men looked around. Harry said, "Come out here right now! You are going to be in do much trouble for running away." I began to cower. I felt Christian's arms wrap around me. I cried in fear in his robes. I heard, "Akiko we won't hurt you. I promise. We need to get you back to Hogwarts." I looked at Christian and He whispered to me, "I will be another bird. I am a shape shifter. You will know me." I nodded and I got my bag. I stood up and I smoothed out my robes and I stepped out of the bubble. I said, "Why can't I be left in peace? I was shunned at dinner last night. Why does everyone think that I am the murderer of Ron?" My uncle picked me up and he hugged me tightly. I heard, "I will try to make this as painless as possible. Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall will tutor you on Mondays. On Tuesdays Professor Hagrid and Professor Binns will tutor you. On Wednesdays Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout will tutor you. On Thursdays Professor Figg (DADA) and Professor Sapphire will tutor you. While on Fridays Professor Demanda and I will tutor you." I nodded and I laid my head on my uncle's shoulder. I said, "But not this Friday. I am meeting with the Minister of magic." Professor Dumbledore nodded and we all began to walk back to the castle.
*~*Wednesday*~*
I sat in one of the empty classroom and I saw that Professors Flitwick and Sprout came in. Professor Flitwick asked, "Now Miss Black where are you in your charms?" I said, "I can cast the song charm. You know the one that calms the agitated." He looked stunned and he asked, "Could you show us?" I nodded and I got up and I went to the middle of the floor. I began to sing, "Of the light of the past, To the light of the present, for the light of the future, You will come to me, I will hold you in my embrace, I will care for you and I will love you forever." I watched as colored lights surrounded me and I began to feel a strong power take over my mind. Although I wasn't in control I could see what was happening. I could hear the chanting and I understood it. I saw many colored phoenixes circle my in loving admiration. I felt like I was gaining back the control. I watched as the birds vanished into their colorful sparkles. I smiled weakly. I heard the professors clapping and cheering. I smiled and blushed. Professor Flitwick said, "That is basically seventh year material. But we will continue on. I am very sure that you are exhausted so why don't you go and sit back down and we will continue with the charms lesson." I nodded and I went back to my seat. I listened as he began to talk about the Direction charm. I was very intrigued. But as soon as he started he finished. Then Professor Sprout began to place all sorts of plants on front of me. I said, "What would you like me to do with these?" She said, "Well I would like you to name them and some uses." I nodded. I said, "Well this is wolfsbane. If mixed in a potion it can control the werewolf. This is the bracindis root. If used in a food it can improve your speech. That is bakus root. It makes you want. It will make you yearn for things." I looked up at professor Sprout. She smiled and she said, "Very good. You are very smart. I think you are even smarter than Hermione Granger." I blushed. I asked, "Is that all?" They nodded and I got up and I silently walked out.

I sat down and I took out the diary that my mother had left me. I began to write:
Dear Diary,
Hey it is Akiko Lynn Black. I am a first year at Hogwarts School. I am having a bad start. I mean my best friend Ron Weasley was killed by Voldermort. I hate that wizard and I will put things right. I will learn to control all of my powers and I will defeat Voldermort. Even if I die doing it. I won't care. I want to avenge Ron and show everyone that I am not a cold-blooded killer. I am very upset. I met my guardian, Christian. He was quite insistent that I am the one that will make Voldermort fall. I truly hope that I can do that. I would like to see Ron again, but I think that Harry Potter would get a little pissed at me. I am meeting with Kylie Fudge on Friday and I still don't know why. She sounded like it was very important. I am in separate classes. I am learning all sorts of things. I have a godfather, Serevus Snape. He is so nifty. He tells me about my mum, unlike my dad. Dad never wants to talk to me about the past. All right so maybe it hurts, but it is the not knowing that is killing me. I must go, Harry is on a rampage.
Love,
Akiko Lynn Black.
I shut my book and I looked up to see that in fact Harry had come in. I stood and I began to leave. I heard, "Hey Akiko. How are you?" I stepped back from him warily. I said, "Okay. You?" He just smiled. I said, "I will be going now." I turned to leave but I felt Harry's hand grab my arm. He asked, "Could we talk?" I looked at him and I said, "Harold James Potter, if you do that again then I will be forced to hurt you. I am tired and I had a long bunch of classes. I will talk to you later." I snatched my hand away and I ran.
*~*Mum's Room*~*
I could hear the footsteps thundering behind me. I opened the door and I shut it quickly. I heard, "Akiko. I am sorry! Really, I am sorry." I gasped and I went and I lied on my bed. I heard a squawk. I saw that it was Suki and another bird. I watched as the other bird began to change. I saw that it was Christian. I smiled and I went into his arms. I began to cry in fear. He just rubbed my back like a father would a distraught daughter. He said, "It will all be right in due time." I cried myself to sleep.
Sorry for the Cliffy! Have fun!
