"Alright, I just want to say to you three that I'm going to leave for a bit. Don't get into too much trouble. I'm looking at all of you, no one in particular. Now have a nice time at Hogwarts." Said Kit as he stopped the three in the hallway near the portrait of the fat lady.

"When will you come back Kit?" Said Kitty as she put her hands on his shoulders & looked into his eyes.

"Eh maybe a couple of days after the second task and all, don't know, depends if I can stop this thing from happening. Chris is still out there, so be extra careful." Said Kit.

"But I thought that we got rid of him already?" Said Nessa.

"Nope, that was just a spell to send him to India. He'll be back, so look inside yourselves and find the hidden power, just like all three of you have inside of yourself." Said Kit. Then he turned around and made a portal door with the swish of his hand. He then turned around and waved bye to Kitty, Nessa & Bunny. Then he stepped through the portal door and disappeared.

"I'm going to miss him." Said Kitty as she put her hands in her pockets.

"Don't worry, we'll see him soon. No, wait, oh never mind." Said Bunny as her & Nessa followed Kitty to the portrait of the fat lady.









It was the day before the second task (February 24th to be exact) in the morning. Hermione was eating a bit of her toast as Kitty & Bunny were looking through the newspaper. Ron was talking to Nessa & Harry about how they could get rid of Snape, not taking it seriously though (darn :p).

"That would be classic." Said Nessa as she ate some eggs from her plate.

"So Harry are you all ready for the second task tomorrow?" Said Ron with his mouth half-full of sausages.

"Yea, I guess." Said Harry as he drank some of his juice. Nessa looked at him and said," What's wrong now Harry? Nervous? I think I can find a cure for that-"

Then Nessa was interrupted by the flutter of owls coming in. An owl landed in front of Harry, Ron & Hermione, and so did one in front of Bunny & Kitty.

Bunny looked at the owl. It was a dark brown barn owl with a green beaded necklace around its neck. It hooted and pecked Bunny's hand as she tried getting the letter off from its leg. She finally got it off and she read it. She gasped and stuffed the letter in her pocket. She then ran out of the Great Hall.

"Bunny! Where are you going? Class doesn't start for a while!" Said Nessa as she got up and tried to go after her.

Meanwhile Harry got his letter from Sirius asking when's the next Hogwarts trip to Hogsmeade. Harry immediately wrote on the back of the parchment that it was the weekend after this. He then put the letter on the barn owl's leg and the barn owl went out of the Great Hall.



Kitty looked at her owl. It wasn't an owl though; it was a crow. She got the letter off of the leg of the crow and she gave it a piece of toast. She read the letter. It said this.

Dear Kitty, Hello, it's me, Kit. I'm out here in California. Yes, it's in America. What am I doing here you might ask? Well I'm doing the same thing, fixing up the past so we can have a better future. I'll see you after the first task in the Potions classroom. Sorry but that was the only place I could get to be alone in there to talk about what will happen next. Be careful today, and make sure that Bunny & Nessa are too, alright? I'll see you tomorrow. ---Kit

Kitty read the letter twice so she could remember every word. Yes, he's coming back tomorrow, she thought with glee. Then she remembered the last part, Bunny & Nessa.

She looked behind her and she saw Nessa looking over her shoulder at the letter. Kitty jumped and said," Don't scare me like that!"

"Sorry, I had to do that. So he's coming tomorrow then huh?" Whispered Nessa as she looked at the letter.

"Yep that's what it says in the letter." Said Kitty. "We have to get Bunny. Nessa, look for her outside, I'll look for her inside."

"Oh yea give me the place where I'm most vulnerable to be killed again." Said Nessa as she crossed her arms.

"Alright then I'll go and look outside, you look inside." Said Kitty as she ate one last bit of toast and then took out a quill from her pocket. She scribbled something down on the back of the parchment that Kit wrote on and she put it on the crow's leg. Then the crow flew away as Nessa & Kitty got out of the Great Hall.



"Well thanks for making me worry so much. Kit told me that we had to all be careful today, we don't want to run into Chris or anyone like that now do we?" Said Kitty as she looked at the beautiful gold unicorn that Hagrid brought in for Care of Magical Creatures class today.

"Well too bad, it just so happens that I'm perfect fine although I did get a letter from someone that accidentally went to me." Said Bunny with an evil grin on her face as she made herself look like she was paying attention to the unicorns.

"What was it?" Whispered Nessa as she looked through Bunny's pockets looking for the letter.

"Too late! I already responded! You have to meet him after the second task outside near the Whomping Willow, but not too near it." Whispered Bunny as she petted the unicorn.

"Great." Said Nessa as she also started petting the gold baby unicorn.







It was the afternoon and all three of them were in the Gryffindor Common Room doing their homework.

"So what should happen to us on the third of March?" Said Kitty with a smile on her face.

"Oh! I've got one, you can get a bad cut and you would have to be carried into the hospital wing and stay there until the fifteenth." Said Ron with a grin on his face. Kitty looked at him and said," Thanks Ron," as she scribbled that down on a blank piece of parchment.

"Bunny, I need to ask you something." Said Nessa as she went into a whisper.

"What is it?" Said Bunny.

"Was it after the second task or after the second class?" Whispered Nessa.

"Oops!" Said Bunny as she put her hands over her mouth. Nessa then dropped all of her things and she ran out of the Common Room towards the doors that lead outside of the castle.





"Hopefully.you'll.be.there still." Said Nessa as she huffed as she almost ran into the doors that lead outside.

As she opened the doors and walked out near the Whomping Willow she looked around and saw no one. Then she felt someone tap her shoulder. She turned around and saw nothing.

"Who's there?" Said Nessa as she went into a fighting stance.

"It's me. I don't know what happened but suddenly I just turned invisible." Said a familiar voice.

"Fernando?" Said Nessa as she stood in a normal position. She slowly stretched her hand out in front of her and then she felt something. She poked it again and then Fernando said," Ouch, that hurt."

"Oh sorry. So what did you want to talk to me about anyways?" Says Nessa as she walked closer to where she last felt Fernando and accidentally hurt him. Suddenly she bumped into him and they both fell on the floor. Then suddenly he appeared visible again. He coughed and said," Sorry to say this but can you please get off of me? You're crushing me."

Nessa blushed and said," Sorry Fernando, didn't mean to. At least your visible again."

"Yes that's good, but I have to ask you something. What happened the night at the Yule Ball? You just left me there for about a half-hour. I was getting worried, and I played your song five times before you came back." Said Fernando as he dusted himself off and he stood up.

"Oh well it's a long story. I had trouble with a gnome." Said Nessa while she was thinking of a good explanation for showing up a half-hour later. But why is he asking me this now? Does he know about what happened that night and wants the truth out of me? This is great, thought Nessa.

"I know Nessa, sadly I know." Said Fernando as he looked at Nessa. She turned around and looked at him. She looked into his eyes and said," Your like Kit aren't you? You knew all along. What do you want me for?"

"Nothing, just to be friends. I'm just a humble Hufflepuff. I would never do anything to hurt you or your friends. I like you." Says Fernando as he took a step closer towards Nessa.

"Aww you're so sweet. But I have to go and finish my homework and I'm freezing and I need to wake up early in the morning for stopping a kangaroo in the potions classroom I got to go BYE!" Says Nessa as she blushed and ran into the Hogwarts castle.

Fernando stood there and looked at her walk inside of the castle and he thought that he's never felt like this for any girl before. He then walked slowly back inside the castle deep in thought as the sun set.







It's the day of the second task. It has already started for about 45 minutes now and everyone is watching it. Nessa, Bunny, Kitty & Fernando are all sitting together. Naturally Fernando is holding Nessa's hand (there a couple now).

"Oie, Harry you don't have that much time! C'mon!" Said Kitty as she stood up from her seat and rooted for Harry. Nessa and Bunny both made facial expressions that said that they don't know her.



Then the second task ended. Everyone was shouting out loud for Harry getting Ron out of the lake and with Fleur's sister too. Kitty screamed and jumped up from her stand once again to root for Harry. Nessa & Bunny just yelled like a normal yell, not like the hyena yell that Kitty was giving Harry.

Kitty then sat down & whispered to Nessa," I'm glad that Ron's alright." Nessa looked at her and winked. She then nudged Kitty on her arm and looked at her. Kitty blushed a little bit and then went back onto looking down at the judges giving the scores.



After everything was over with, Kitty, Nessa & Bunny went into the Potions classroom. It was completely empty except for Kit who was standing in the corner. The only way you could tell it was him was because of the way he stood with his hands always in his pockets in his coat. He was wearing a hat and it was slumped to the side a bit. He then walked in front of Nessa, Kitty & Bunny and said," Glad that you four are here."



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Wow! What a chapter that was! ^_^ I enjoyed writing this one. Well now we have more questions like on Fernando. He's got powers just like Kit & the others, but is he on our side? Is he Chris in disguise? Or has he also come back from the future? More of these questions will be answered in the next chapters of The Uniques.
