That night at dinner, Draco sat next to Kal. She tried to ignore him, but
when he gave her the news, her face lit up. She thanked him endlessly as
she threw her arms around him.
Harry and Draco's eyes met. Draco gave Harry a smug look. Harry looked away. The last thing Harry needed was Draco knowing that he liked Kal.
"I think Malfoy- I mean Draco got what he wanted," Ron said. "Guess now we have to get use to getting along with him." Ron laughed. Harry didn't say anything; he just sat and ate his dinner quietly.
Harry had another restless night. He kept looking at his bedside clock hoping it was time for him to get up. When it finally was time to go to breakfast, Harry quickly threw on his robes, and ran down to the Gryffindor table.
Kal was at the Slytherin table. She was wearing her same jeans and clunky shoes. Her shirt was just a plain white t-shirt that she had taken a black permanent marker and wrote: "SLYTHERIN AND DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!" She obviously had gotten over the fact that everyone was freaked out that she was the only Weasely who wasn't sorted into Gryffindor. She had her tie tied around her waist like a belt. Her hair was up in a lose ponytail with strands of hair falling down. Somehow she made messy hair look good.
Draco sat down next to Kal, she just smiled at him. Harry's insides twitched. He could not believe just two days ago, Kal hated him, and now she was acting as if they've been friends forever.
"Harry? Did you hear me?" Ron jabbed Harry's side.
"Huh? What?"
"We have Herbology first with the Hufflepuffs. Let's go ahead and make our way out to the greenhouses." Harry picked up his books and went with Ron to class.
"Hey Ron! Harry wait up!" It was Hermione. "What's been going on between you and Malfoy?"
"Nothing really. Just made a deal where he'll stop being a jerk if we told want Kalysta likes, you know hook them up."
"You don't know a thing about her, so how are you getting along?"
"Harry knew that she wanted to play Quidditch, so Draco's going to let her on the team."
"Good, then Harry can get the inside scoop on Kalysta," Hermione said a matter-of-factly.
"What?" Harry asked.
"You're the only she talks to. You need to ask her about her mother."
"Last time you mentioned her mother she nearly bit your head off," Harry said hoping to get out of interrogating Kal.
"That's why you're asking her and not me." Hermione just smiled and walked ahead of Harry to the greenhouses. Ron caught up with her. Harry really needed to read that article about Kal to see why everyone was so sure she was a Brecklan. When Harry got to the greenhouse, Professor Sprout was lining up different plants on the table in front of the greenhouse.
"Today, we will start our own healing gardens. These plants are used in many healing potions." She pointed to each plant, gave the name and its uses, and then told the class to get started. Harry, Ron, and Hermione shared a table with Justin Finch-Fletchley.
"Hey Ron, what's the deal with your cousin?" Justin asked.
"What about her?"
"Is she really a half Brecklan?" Ron shrugged.
"Did you read that article in Daily Prophet?" Hermione asked in a thrilled voice.
"Yeah, creepy huh?" commented Justin.
"Her mother just so happened to 'disappear' the same time of the Breckahlonia crisis." Hermione and Justin seemed to be off in their own little world. "She must be a really sneaky Brecklan to get past the Ministry without notice."
"But if she was a Brecklan, wouldn't she need to be registered?" Harry asked Hermione. He could not believe that he had actually paid attention in Professor Binns' class.
"I guess so-"
"Then the Ministry would have her listed as a Brecklan ad an account of her leaving for Breckahlonia."
"He's right Hermione," Ron added. Hermione had a look of defeat on her face.
By the time they were finished planting their healing gardens, class was over. Harry, Ron, and Hermione made their way to Hagrid's hut for their Care of Magical Creatures class. There were 20 crates numbered and lined up. A couple of them made sounds or moved while others remained motionless. Kal was already there touching each crate. When she got to crate 13, her face lit up and she squealed with delight. Hermione took note of her strange behavior.
Draco came up beside Kal, put his arms around her waist and gave her peck on the cheek. She looked into his gray eyes and smiled, then went back to crate 13. Harry laughed inside. Whatever was in crate 13, it was definitely more interesting than Draco.
"Good mornin' Harry!" Hagrid boomed. "Mornin' Ron! Hermione!"
"Good morning Hagrid!" the three chimed in. All of a sudden, crates 2, 7, 10, and 18 began shaking at making strange animal sounds. Crabbe and Goyle thought it would be funny to rattle them. Kal babied crate 13. Harry had a feeling she knew what was inside of it even though the air holes weren't big enough to tell what was inside.
"Hagrid, what do have in those crates?" Harry asked.
"Magical creatures o' course. Each o' ya get to raise a different one." He motioned for the class to gather around as he pulled out a black bag form one of his many pockets. "Now this year, each o' ya get to take care and raise your own magical creature. So draw a number to see which one ya get." He passed around the bag and everyone picked out a number. When the bag got to Kal, she spent five minutes with her hand in the bag. It was almost as she was feeling around for the right number. Most likely she could feel what numbers they were, just as she could feel what creatures were inside the crates. After everyone had gotten their number they went to their crate.
To no one's surprise, Kal was standing next to crate 13. Hagrid went around opening the crates. Hermione had a puppy with a forked tail. It looked any other dog, except for its tail. Hagrid said it was a crup. Ron nearly jumped for joy when he saw that he had a puffskein in his crate. Apparently he had one when he was younger, but Fred and George ended up using it for Beater practice. Harry was shocked to see that he didn't have an animal in his crate; instead he had an egg. "I think you got the augerey egg Harry," Hagrid noticing that Harry had no idea what creature he had. "You'll have to hatch it first. Look in chapter seven about how to hatch it." Harry instead looked over at what Kal had that made her so excited. She had an egg too; only it was a bright aqua blue, and it was glowing!
Harry watched as she cuddled it and talked to it. Her words must have been mumbled, because he couldn't make out what she was saying. The book next to her had strange scribbles that Harry couldn't recognize either. He glanced at Hermione to see if she watching Kal just as intently as he was. He was relieved to see she was busy keeping control of her puppy while trying to read about it.
"That egg keeps changing color!" Hagrid boomed. Everyone turned to look at Kal and her egg. "Last time I saw it, it was a blue-green color. When I first got it, it was neon green. 'Course I have no idea what kinda egg it is." Kal just gave him a confused look. She was the only one that knew what it was. Harry's gut feeling told him that the creature inside the egg was no ordinary creature, even in the wizarding world. And another voice in his head told him that the book she had and the words form her mouth weren't English either.
"Oh," Kal said. "Guess we just have to find out." Her voice was a bit shaky.
Ten minutes before class was over, everyone put either their egg in a crate, or their animal in a pen Hagrid set up. "I hope Marmaduke gets along with Crookshanks when I take him home," said Hermione as she came up to Ron and Harry. Then Hermione did something Harry didn't expect. She used a summoning charm to get Kal's book. Kal didn't notice, she just continued talking to Draco with goo-goo eyes. "This could definitely proof that Kal is a Brecklan." She walked off to her Astronomy class with a smile on her face. She must have noticed Kal's book and coos in between chasing Marmaduke and reading about how to take care of him.
"She just doesn't give up does she?" Ron commented as he and Harry walked back to the castle.
"Hey Ron! Dude wait up!" I t was Kal. "Where's the Divination class at?"
"Why do you need know?"
"Um, 'cause maybe I have a class there right now?" she said sarcastically.
"You can't have it now, because Gryffindors have that class now!"
"Guess we're in the same class." She flashed her schedule at Ron. She did have Divination this period. She put her arms around him, "Isn't great that I get to have yet another class with my dear cousin?"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever." They walked all the way to Professor Trelawney's tower and were standing right below her door.
"So where exactly is this class suppose to be at?" Ron and Harry looked up. Kal did the same. Above them was a round door that said 'Professor Trelawney.' "You've go to be kidding me!" The door opened and ladder came down for them to climb up.
Harry, Ron and Kal sat down at table together. Harry could hear Pavarti Patil and Lavender Brown snicker at having a Slytherin with them. Her presence didn't seem to go unnoticed by the other Gryffindors as well as by Professor Trelawney. "I see we have a new student among us. Of course I already knew. You are of course Miss Kalysta Weasely." Kal just shook her head. "Well this year, we will not be studying the Art of Divination (depressed sighs came from Pavarti and Lavender). Instead, I have been asked to teach you how to recognize Brecklan magic and also how do some simple spells. It will come useful should you come across a Brecklan and need to fight fire with fire." As she spoke, she made it seem like she was preparing them for war against Brecklans. "Now why have I, your Divination teacher, been asked to teach about Brecklan magic? It is because not only was I involved with the Department of Brecklan Communication years ago, but those with a strong inner eye tend to be better at learning Brecklan magic. Now it is very simple for any Brecklan to learn and do our magic, but for a wizard to learn and do Brecklan magic, oh, it is very difficult. Only the greatest wizards can cast simple Brecklan spells. But nearly," her beady eyes shifted to Neville, "any wizard can learn the three T's of Brecklan magic."
Kal was holding her head up with her right arm. Harry took a double take on her charm bracelet, the one that Hermione was so fascinated with. The charms were moving! They were animated charms. One charm looked like a crackling fire; another looked like waves of an ocean. Harry couldn't take his eyes off them. He also noticed the twinkling snowflake and the shining sun. No wonder Hermione wanted to get a closer look.
Harry snapped put of his dazed when out of nowhere Kal said, "Teleportation, telekinesis, and telepathy." Everyone stared at her.
"Very good, those are-"Professor Trelawney stopped and stared back at her. "I didn't even ask the question and you knew already knew the answer. You must have-"
"Have seen it beforehand," Kal cut her off. "I have a strong inner eye. Drives all my teachers crazy." It convinced Professor Trelawney, but it didn't seem to convince the rest of the class. Harry knew what everyone was thinking. Kal didn't know the question beforehand, she read her mind.

They are added characters base off the already existing Weasely family. These are mine, mine, mine! But everything else came from the mind of the ever so brilliant J.K. Rowling!
