Author's note - I would love any feedback I can get, so PLEASE review or email me at web_chick_18@hotmail.com. Thanks. =) I am going to try to get chapters out as fast as I can but due to the wonderful complication of homework that won't be as fast as I like, grades wait upon no ones fun… I know that this is a short chapter and for that I am sorry, but I didn't think that what comes after this chapter really connects well with this chapter so it ended up being just a tad bit short.

Chapter 4

They found Dumbledore in his office immersed in an old, think book. Knocking on the door to alert him to her presence, Kalila slipped inside and shut the door behind her.

      "Headmaster do you have a moment?"

      "Of course my dear, sit, sit. Now tell me what I can do for you, the students aren't giving you trouble are they?"

      Kalila sank down into the fore mentioned chair with a sigh of pleasure before answering.

      "The students are fine Headmaster, a few are catching on more quickly than I had expected. What I wanted to speak with you about is Cian. You see as a child I was not popular, belonging to neither my mother's nor my father's world, so I sought friends in other places Throughout the years I befriended more than my fair share of magic creatures, Cian among them. Cian, Headmaster is a Hell Hound. When I became and Auror he was content to remain in the isles, but now he has come to me here. For him to leave the isles says a great deal about how things stand in the wizarding world. Hell Hounds, for the most part, loathe muggles, wizards, witches and sorcerers alike. Yet he has come here saying that his protection is needed. What I came to ask Headmaster is if it is all right with you that he stays. I trust him with my life and the lives of those I care about. Despite the myths Hell Hounds are truly gentle creatures."

      "Of course he may stay, if you trust him that much I can do no less. Welcome to Hogworts Cian, I hope it turns out to be a pleasant experience for you."

      "Thank you Headmaster. Is there anything I can do to help around the school? I came to protect my Queen, but I would like to be of some use beyond that if I might."

      "Thank you Cian, your help would be appreciated. Would you mind helping some of the Professors in their classes? There has been such rare contact with your kind, that there are a great many myths that need to be shown as false. Having you in the classroom and answering questions would do more to disprove the myths than just telling the students they are untrue."

      "I would be glad to Headmaster Dumbledore."

      "Thank you. I'll leave Kalila to show you round the castle and to where she is staying."

      With that Dumbledore went back to his book, leaving Kalila and Cian to see themselves out.
