Chapter 1: Unexpected News
The sun rose in the eastern sky and cast a magical glow upon Meridian Academy. It was a balmy November morning. Monday, November fifth. In the warm Icys Tower, five girls slept peacefully. Nakuru Summers, Cora Whisp, Gwen Tomoe, Mira Summers, and Aimera Gorrem. Nakuru hugged her pillow tightly. She opened her eyes and looked around the girls' dormitory. "Professor H. will have our heads if we don't get this mess cleaned up!" She jumped out of bed hurriedly, and ran into their extra large walk-in closet. "Girls! Get up! Hedron is doing dorm checks today!" She changed into her everyday uniform, and tripped over her trunk as she attempted to lace up her ankle-boots mid-air. She landed with a big thud. The others sat up leisurely and laughed at Nakuru who was scurrying around the room.
"You know," started Cora, "one of these days you're going to hurt yourself real bad. Besides, it's only Professor Hedron."
Gwen stood up and searched for her uniform. "Yeah, Nak. It's not like it's Helyx. Now that's something to worry about." She hobbled into the changing closet, and emerged fully dressed in ten seconds. She smiled at Mira and Aimera who were still in bed, hiding under their covers. "And as for you two," she started, "we do have classes today. Just because we get an extra forty-five minutes, doesn't mean you can sleep-in." She walked between the two beds and grabbed the edge of the sheets. With a quick tug, the blankets flew across the room and landed on Nakuru, who was impatiently trying to brush her hair.
She growled impatiently. "EVERYONE out of bed NOW!" Her voice echoed through the tower, and Mira giggled silently.
"Alright, Nak. We get the picture." Mira crawled out of bed, and dragged herself to the changing closet. She got dressed and sleepily walked back to her bed and plunked down. She gave a sigh, and looked over at Nakuru who had finally put her brush down. "I'm out of bed and I'm dressed.what more do you want?"
Nakuru smiled. "You could clean up your half of the room." Mira grumbled, and proceeded to tidy up. Nakuru turned to Aimera, who was still in her pyjamas and slippers. "C'mon Aims, we need to hurry up. Classes start in twenty minutes, and you need to help out a bit, 'kay?"
Aimera looked at Nakuru and glared. "Don't piss me off today, Nak.I'm running out of places to hide the bodies." With that, she got up, changed, and headed out the door with her books.
Cora sighed. "It's people like her that make you want to."
".Throw up? Heave? Barf? Pick one," Mira chuckled as she finished the last lace on her boots. "Is everything okay, Nak?" She glanced over at Nakuru who was looking out the window.
She seemed to have a longing look in her eyes. She turned to Mira. "Yeah, I'm fine," she replied softly.
Mira smiled. "Not you, the room."
Nakuru laughed. "Yeah, it's fine, guys." She grabbed her books from her wooden desk. "Alright, let's head down to the Quik-Caf and get something to eat on the way to Divination."
With this, the four remaining girls headed down to the Icys Common Room. As they entered the circular room, they noticed Professor Helyx sitting in the armchair closest to the fireplace. She smiled vaguely. "Cora, Mira, Aimera, you may go ahead to your class." She smiled as they agreed and exited the Common Room. "Nakuru," she began, "there's something I need to tell you." She looked at Nakuru with an expression of sympathy. "Please sit down, Nakuru."
Nakuru sat silently. "What is it, Professor?" she asked with a smile.
Professor Helyx looked Nakuru in the eyes. "Please.call me Seph. I'm afraid, Nakuru, I have some bad news." She shifted in her seat. "Nakuru, we received a letter by owl today from a Mr. Rupert Gerrant. Do you know him?"
Nakuru smiled. "Yeah, my mother and I live with him in out in Ontario. What about him?"
Professor Helyx bowed her head slightly. "We received an owl from him today. I'm afraid your mother.has passed away, Nakuru." She looked up at Nakuru, with tears in her eyes. "I truly am sorry my dear."
Nakuru couldn't speak. Tears began to fill her eyes. "My.my mom is.she's dead?" With this, she broke down and began to cry.
Professor Helyx went to Nakuru and put her arms around her. "I'm so sorry, Nakuru," she said, trying to comfort her. "There was nothing anyone could do. Mr. Gerrant explained everything in the letter. He insists that she died peacefully, Nakuru. I knew your mother very well.and I'm sorry for your loss."
Nakuru looked up at the Professor. "Seph." she started as tears still streamed down her face, ".I.I don't have anyone left.I have no family, Seph. What am I going to do?" She wiped the tears away from her now sore eyes. Seph looked at Nakuru with a look of commiseration in her eyes.
"Mr. Gerrant, as he is in his old-age, is unable to care for you, Nakuru." She spoke softly, as Nakuru nodded. "It was stated in your mother's will that you be placed in the custody of Mr. Remus Lupin. Now, I, personally, don't know who this man is, Nakuru. Do you?" Nakuru shook her head silently. "As it turns out, this man is your godfather. But, unfortunately, we were unable to contact him. We did, however, find someone else."
Nakuru looked confusedly at Seph. "Someone else? Who, Persephone?"
She looked at Nakuru and smiled. "His name is Albus Dumbledore. He is a good friend of Lupin's, and has agreed to take you in until Mr. Lupin can be contacted."
Nakuru looked even more puzzled. "Dumbledore? Do you mean.the headmaster at Hogwarts?"
The Professor smiled and nodded. "Yes, Nakuru. He has requested that you be transferred to Hogwarts.if possible, by Wednesday."
"Wednesday?! Are you mad! What about my friends? What about my classes here? What about Rupert? I can't move to England and go to Hogwarts! I just lost the most important person in the world to me.and you expect me to give up my friends as well in less than three days?! That's insane.and unfair!"
Professor Helyx sighed. "It's the only way, Nakuru. We can't keep you here. Your guardian, for the time being, is Albus, and it's his call. He insists upon it. There's no other way, Nakuru. It's either him.or you're on your own."
Nakuru's jaw dropped. She stomped her foot on the ground hard. "But what about everyone else?"
Persephone smiled. "He agreed, Nakuru, that you could take with you five friends.maximum!" She smiled at Nakuru. "Well what are you waiting for, girl? Classes were cancelled for today, so get down to the Caf and get to your friends!"
Nakuru stood and wiped away the remainder of her tears. "Thank you for your help with all of this Seph."
Professor Helyx smiled and stood as well. "Anything for my best friend's little girl."
With this Nakuru made her way out of the Common Room, and headed down to the over-crowded Caf. On her way, she passed Charubi, the Castle's magical spirit. She smiled at Nakuru as she passed by. "Hey!!!"
Nakuru stopped. "What's wrong Rubes?"
Charubi's smile turned into a frown. "Nik-Nak's going away and leaving Rubes behind.you forget all about Rubes, won't you?"
Nakuru sighed. "Yeah.I'm leaving. But no, Rubes, I won't forget you."
Charubi raised an eyebrow. "Oh no? Well, it seems Nik-Nak forgets already that Charubi can see future things. Does Nik-Nak not remember this?"
Nakuru sighed and chuckled. "Uh.yeah, I guess I did forget, Rubes. But I promise you.when I'm gone, I won't forget you."
Charubi didn't smile. "Nik-Nak can't lie well. You will see, you will. One day, Nik-Nak will forget all. She will not know Rubes. She will not know even him Nik-Nak loves."
"What do you mean, Charubi?" Nakuru was confused.
"You no understand Nik-Nak. You will know no one. You be lonely, and have no one except family. And when you feel alone, you will no want to stay alive. But Rubes can change this. Rubes can make Nik-Nak remember forevers and evers. That way Nik-Nak can keep her promise."
Nakuru bowed her head and smiled. "I promise you, Rubes, I won't forget you.okay?"
Charubi looked as if she was going to cry. "Nik-Nak no understands. She cannot see what Charubi sees. You promise me now, but me not one you promise to when it counts most." A tear streamed down Charubi's face. "If Nik-Nak could only see what Rubes sees. It will be up to Nik-Nak to make those who forget remember when the time comes. But Nik-Nak won't know she remembers.something must make her remembers."
"Make me remember what?"
"Charubi cannot say right nows. It not right time. But me tells you now, you will unlock greater powers than Nik-Nak know she haves.and Nik-Nak will forgets. But me tells you.Rubes can stop this."
Nakuru decided to sit on a nearby bench. "Continue, Rubes."
Charubi smiled. "Nik-Nak will forgets Rubes no matter what.but Charubi's magic can help Nik-Nak keep her promise to friends she have yet to meets."
Nakuru raised her eyebrow now. "What do you mean, Rubes? Who?"
Charubi floated on her cloud and thought for a moment. "Me not know names Nik-Nak.but friends of future be closest to Nik-Nak's heart.that is seeable now to Rubes. Me knows you will forget me, but me helps you not forget them.okees?"
Nakuru crossed her legs. "Alright, Charubi. Go on."
"This magic be stronger than Time and Nature's. They may be strong, but Charubi be stronger than thems. They will wants you to forgets, but Charubi will stop them. Rubes will put her magic in you, Nik-Nak, and Nik-Nak will be untouched by curse. Me perform spell nows. Okees Nik-Nak?"
Nakuru uncrossed her legs, and stood up. She smiled as she looked up at Charubi. "Okees, Rubes. You know, you were always a pain in the ass to everyone else, but not me.I always wanted to know why."
Charubi laughed. "Oh that easy! Nik-Nak so silly! Charubi nicer to Nik-Nak because Nik-Nak needs Rubes, and Rubes needs a good friend like Nik-Nak. Thank you." Nakuru smiled and nodded. "Now me do spell called Incantatem d'el Memoraré." With these words, Charubi closed her eyes and began the spell.
Spirits of magic, Creatures of night. I foresee great troubles, Evils and fights. I bind my powers to this carrier, Bend the ever-lasting barrier. In the future, a curse I see, From this fate, keep her free. I ask The Powers in this golden November, Alter the future, let her remember.
Charubi finished the incantation, and opened her eyes. A small glowing orb began to form between Charubi's hands. Eight jewels were formed, and created a pendant. The pendant took the form of an eight-pointed star. Charubi looked down at Nakuru. "Charubi knows you will forget her.but me ask anyways. Please don't forget me Nik-Nak.please? Can Nik-Nak promise me this?"
Nakuru smiled. "Yeah, I promise Rubes."
"Good," she started. "Now Charubi must complete the spell. Charubi's spirit must seal the magic in the pendant.and Nik-Nak must go to friends. It almost lunch time, and Nik-Nak is hungry." With this, Charubi smiled. She began to fade, until all that was left was a glowing jewel, which took its place in the centre of the pendant. Nine jewels. Red, Blue, Yellow, White, Black, Purple, Orange, Green, and the centre stone, Pink.
Nakuru sighed. "Bye.Rubes." She stood for a moment, and thought about what had just happened. What am I going to forget? Who will I make a promise to? Friends I have yet to meet? Nakuru's mind was full of questions. She was still getting over her mother's death, but deep down she knew she was okay. She was going to be leaving her life behind now.and was about to be starting something that would change her forever. But she didn't know what, and she wasn't going to dwell on it. Charubi could see the future.far into the future. Nakuru's visions were only of things that would happen in the immediate future. It was rare for her to have a vision a few weeks before it happened. But she had things to do, and people to see.
It was lunch at this time, as Rubes had said. Nakuru was hungry.very hungry. With that, she decided to make her way to the Caf as she'd intended.
Nakuru walked into the Caf and spotted the others sitting at the end of the Icys Table. She walked over, and sat between Christian and Cora. Christian was engrossed in a game of Wizard's Chess with Mira. It was obvious that Mira was winning, but Christian wouldn't quit unless he knew he was screwed. Nakuru smiled softly. "Uhm.guys.I have something to tell you all." As she spoke, the others went silent. ".Today, Seph got a letter from Rupert."
Christian grinned evilly. "That guy knows how to use an owl? Man! Yeh learn something new every day."
Nakuru chuckled. "That's beside the point Chris. Actually, you guys may want to prepare yourselves for what I'm about to tell you." They all sat silently, and looked patiently at Nakuru. "My mom.passed away this morning.and my new, temporary guardian lives in England. They want me to move there and go to Hogwarts."
Gwen fell over. "But.but Nak, you! Oh my god I'm so sorry, Nak! But you.you."
A look of shock came over Cora's face. "You're leaving?"
Nakuru bowed her head. "It isn't that bad. Albus said that I could take with me, if I wish, a maximum of five friends." She looked up and smiled broadly. "Cora, Chris, Gwen, Aimera, Mira.wanna come with me to England and go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
Cora jumped up and down. "Hell yes, Nak! I wouldn't let you go without me if your life depended on it!"
Chris hugged Nakuru. "Duh! Do you have to ask!?"
Gwen joined Cora in jumping, and started shouting. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.!"
Nakuru looked over at Mira who smiled shyly. "Sorry, Nak." Nakuru and the others stopped. "I mean, I want to.but I just transferred here from Burgeo. I can't afford to lose more school time.sorry 'cuz."
Nakuru smiled and hugged Mira. "Y'know, I'm glad you told me the truth. I wouldn't make you. Four it is, then!" They high-fived each other and sat back down. ".Well now that that's taken care of.we need to give notice to our Professors."
Gwen chuckled. "Yes! No more Prof Hedron!"
Cora grinned broadly. ".And no more Ludwig! I can't wait to get out of here!"
Chris smiled at Nakuru. "Aw man! This is going to rule!" He conjured two bottles of Jolt, and looked at Nakuru and grinned. "To better days."
Nakuru grabbed up her bottle. "To better days." With that, the two toasted, and chugged half the bottle. Chris wasn't too good at swallowing his mouthful, because he snorted half of it out his nose. Nakuru and the others began to laugh crazily. "This is definitely the start of better things to come."

Nakuru bowed her head. "It isn't that bad. Albus said that I could take with me, if I wish, a maximum of five friends." She looked up and smiled broadly. "Cora, Chris, Gwen, Aimera, Mira.wanna come with me to England and go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?"
Cora jumped up and down. "Hell yes, Nak! I wouldn't let you go without me if your life depended on it!"
Chris hugged Nakuru. "Duh! Do you have to ask!?"
Gwen joined Cora in jumping, and started shouting. "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.!"
Nakuru looked over at Mira who smiled shyly. "Sorry, Nak." Nakuru and the others stopped. "I mean, I want to.but I just transferred here from Burgeo. I can't afford to lose more school time.sorry 'cuz."
Nakuru smiled and hugged Mira. "Y'know, I'm glad you told me the truth. I wouldn't make you. Four it is, then!" They high-fived each other and sat back down. ".Well now that that's taken care of.we need to give notice to our Professors."
Gwen chuckled. "Yes! No more Prof Hedron!"
Cora grinned broadly. ".And no more Ludwig! I can't wait to get out of here!"
Chris smiled at Nakuru. "Aw man! This is going to rule!" He conjured two bottles of Jolt, and looked at Nakuru and grinned. "To better days."
Nakuru grabbed up her bottle. "To better days." With that, the two toasted, and chugged half the bottle. Chris wasn't too good at swallowing his mouthful, because he snorted half of it out his nose. Nakuru and the others began to laugh crazily. "This is definitely the start of better things to come."
