LILY: First off, I have to ask once again. Does anyone know how the Scottish accent would be written? All I've got is Aye. But what else? See, I know how it sounds, but changing it to writing is another thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MIRAI CLONE: Still on that, huh?
LILY: *nods* Until someone helps me out with the accent. Anyway, I guess I'd better start the disclaimer, I don't own the characters of Harry Potter. I still own my clones, my own mate Mirai Trunks *points to her mate who just sweatdrops but doesn't say anything*, Mystic Gohan, Gambit from X- men Evolution, Neil from the Final Fantasy Movie, Kou Leifoh from the Bouncer for the PS2 game, and my newest clone, Inuyasha, my Demi-Demon Doggie! *gives Inuyasha Clone a bonecushing hug* They're all mine, except for Gohan, he's my best friend's mate. So now on with the story.
LILY: And still, anyone with advice for the Scottish accent? Anyway, here we go, and yes, presenting LILY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
OUT OF THE ASHES
Chapter 15
"Hmm. So this is the famous Hogwarts, eh? It's very big, I'll give it that. Mum was right, it is beautiful. This should be quiet an interesting year." A dark haired young girl said as she stood less than twenty meters from the castle's grand doors.
She stood studying the castle as she leaned slightly on a sleek black broom to her right, her hand perched on her left hip, her ebony hair swaying softly in the early morning breeze. After a moment more, with an amused 'hmph', she cocked her head slightly to the side, her dark blue eyes twinkling merrily in mischief, before a amused smirk began to pull at the corner of her lips. Then suddenly, she scowled darkly her smirk dropping instantly from her face, and she frowned to herself.
"Yes, this should be quiet interesting, I think." Kaylee said, before grabbing her broom and walking towards the grand doors.
"Come on, please?!" Sirius whined.
"No, relax Padfoot, would you?" James asked, crossing his arms as he leaned against the front of one of the tables in the room.
Sirius crossed his arms, and pouted silently to himself, scowling from where he was currently sitting atop the same table a little further down. Lily sighed deeply as Anna rolled her eyes at Sirius's puppy-like antics. Remus chuckled at he shook his head from the teachers' desk at the end of the room.
"Padfoot, we have an hour before breakfast, you'll survive." Remus said as James chucked at his best friend and tossed him a bagel.
"Padfoot, honestly! Just eat that for now. You won't starve to death in one hour." James said with a laugh as Padfoot growled at him but ate the bagel anyway. Harry and Ron exchanged a grin, as Hermione sighed heavily and turned the page of the book she had been reading.
"Besides, you know it wouldn't be a good idea to try and catch up down there in the Great Hall during breakfast anyhow. Especially after Dumbledore's announcement about Lily last night. Besides, you really expect us to believe that you'd *listen* and not completely absorb yourself in your eating, Padfoot?" James said.
"I still can't believe he wants me to help teach Charms and Care of Magical Creatures with Flitwick and Hagrid." Lily said, smiling wistfully.
"I don't see why though, Lily. You were always top of the class in Charms and you always did love reading all about the creatures that dwelled in the Forbidden Forest." Anna said with a smile.
"Yeah, I suppose so. But still, me? A teacher?" Lily asked as Remus raised an eyebrow.
"And you don't find it in the least bit odd that *James* and *Sirius* of all people are actually teachers too?" Remus asked with a grin.
"Look who's talking, Wolfie." Sirius said.
"Don't call me Wolfie, Snuffles." Remus remarked.
"Don't call me Snuffles, Fang man." Sirius shot back.
"Don't call me Fan- hey! You have fangs too, Dog breath!" Remus said with a chuckle.
"Don't call me D-" Sirius began.
"Will you *both* shut up?!" James cried as Remus and Sirius exchanged a grin and both looked at James.
"Who us?" Sirius asked.
"No, he means the *other* old mutt behind you." Remus said.
"Old? Who you calling old, old man?" Sirius asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Real original Padfoot." James chuckled.
"Oh shut up, you bloody bloke." Sirius said.
"All *three* of you, SHUT UP! You're supposed to be role models, remember?" Anna asked, as the trio turned to look at Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"We are, aren't we? Ah hell, we're doing a fine job, Whiskers! I mean, just look at the lad!" Sirius said as Harry blushed.
"Yes, I suppose you may be right. Harry's a fine lad all right. But it can't be Sirius's doing. Or even something he may have inherited from James even. He has something *both* of them never did." Remus said with a smile.
"Like what?" Anna asked curiously, raising an eyebrow.
"Brains. Must have got them from his mum." Remus said with a chuckle as James and Sirius pretended to look hurt, before chuckling along with Remus.
"Alright, alright, enough already, you guys. Honestly, you're like little children." Anna said, shaking her head as Lily nodding in agreement.
"We are not....er.....are we?" Sirius asked, looking at James.
"Well......if Anna and Lily think so......then maybe we are!" James said, his eyes wide, before turning to look at his son.
"What do you think, Harry?" James asked as Harry laughed nervously at his father and his godfather.
"I think he thinks your crazy, Prongs. And you know what? I'm starting to believe it myself." Remus said with a chuckle.
"Hey! I thought picking on Padfoot was your only hobby." James said as Remus nodded.
"It is. And you too, of course. After all, you're like brothers, aren't you?" Remus asked as Lily sighed.
"Too true, Remus. Harry, dear, promise me you'll never grow up to be like your father, or your godfather for that matter." Lily said.
"Thankfully, even *I* don't think that's possible, Red. After all, God help us all. As if the two of *them* weren't bad enough." Anna added.
"Oooh. Fiesty this morning, aren't we Whiskers?" Sirius asked.
"Shut up, Scooby." Anna said.
"Who?" Sirius asked, looking at James in confusion.
"Scooby. Muggle thing. Don't worry about it Sirius. It's over your head." Lily said with a chuckle as she looked over at Anna.
"Why do I get the impression that's still is supposed to be an insult?" Sirius asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Because it is. Forget about it. Anyway, you remember what I said about this morning, Sirius?" Anna asked, growing serious as she looked at the dark haired man in question.
"Oh you mean about Kaylee? God help *that* poor child, to be related to Sirius of all people." James said with a laugh as Sirius scowled at his best friend.
"Not funny, bambi." Sirius said.
"Um.....I was just wondering......" Harry said nervously as he looked at Anna.
"What is it dear?" Anna asked.
"Well, do you know what house she'll be in?" Harry asked.
"And does she play Quidditch? I wanna see if she's better than Harry." Ron said with a chuckle as Anna smiled at the boys.
"Actually, yes she does. She's a beater." Anna said, looking over at Sirius with a smirk as his jaw dropped.
"Beater? Really?" Sirius asked.
"Wow. That's something. Is she really good, Anna?" Lily asked as the woman nodded.
"As good as Sirius ever was, only *she* plays by all the rules." Anna said with a smile.
"Ah, you know what they say, rules were always meant to be broken." Sirius said.
"I don't think who ever said that meant it like that, Sirius. As I recall, you broke nearly *every* rule the entire game had, ah hell, some rules they added later *just* because of *you!*" Remus said with a chuckle.
"That's not true, Moony remember? There were, what, seven he didn't break?" James asked as Remus raised an eyebrow.
"Three." Remus said.
"Hey, what can you expect when you play a team of Slytherins, huh? I was only doing what I had to to protect my team." Sirius said.
"Right, of course, and the incident during your seventh year? The match against the Slytherins we played in that storm?" Remus asked.
"I still say that he had it coming." Sirius said, crossing his arms.
"Sirius, he said you tried to kill him!" Remus said.
"So? Proves he was insane." Sirius said.
"Give him a break, Moony. You have to admit those Slytherins deserved it most of the time." James said.
"You were just as bad as him, James. So you're testimony doesn't help." Lily said.
"Aren't you supposed to be on my side, Lils? You *are* my wife, aren't you?" James asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes, but that excludes me in this case, my dear chaser." Lily said with a chuckle.
"Anyway, Kaylee should be arriving here shortly, right? We do want to get to the Great Hall *before* breakfast ends, don't we?" Sirius asked as James shook his head chuckling.
"Alright, alright, we'll go already. You're hopeless." James said, starting towards the door as Sirius grinned at him.
"Ah, but you still love me, right?" Sirius asked.
"No, but it's a good enough reason not to have you put down." Remus said with a smile as Sirius looked at him with a faked look of betrayal in his eyes.
"Or to have him fixed." James chuckled.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~
LILY: Sorry, if the chapter was a little......'odd'.......I'm feeling weird. I have this killer headache. *shrugs shoulders* Anyway, about Kaylee. *NO* she's not stuck up. She's just confident. She's also outspoken and charming, as you will soon see when she meets up with the others. And yes, when her mother owled her, she was told about her father. And I have to explain a bit of history about her and her mother first.
First of all, you may have gotten the idea that Anna too, like everyone else, believed Sirius was the one who betrayed James and Lily. Well, I should put this another way. She loved him dearly, and when she heard what had happened, she was heart broken. She couldn't believe it that the man she loved could have done something that horrible. After all, Lily was like a sister to her. And she loved her dearly. But when Sirius was arrested, she just didn't know what to do.
She was also never told of the switch, and so she only had what she knew. That James and Lily were going into hiding and that Sirius was their secret keeper. After it had happened, she cut off all ties with the others. She obviously never visited Sirius and never talked to Remus ever again. She stayed in contact with Dumbledore, and after she told him that she couldn't bare it to take care of her godson when it was his godfather's fault he was an orphan, he told her Harry would be living with his Aunt and Uncle. And Anna decided that she'd disquise herself as Arabella Figg, and live nearby. So she could at least keep an eye on Harry. She owed that much to Lily.
Then, about a month or so later, she learned she was pregnant and knew it was Sirius's, and didn't know what to do. She finally decided she would never tell her child about Sirius and that when the child was old enough, she would sent him or her to another school. Dumbledore, of course, had insisted that she allow the child to go to Hogwarts, but it held too many painful memories for Anna. So after explaining such to Dumbledore, he told her he understood but would be greatly sorry that he could not teach such a talented witch or wizard, such as Anna's child promised to be.
When Kaylee was born, Anna decided she would be a Corazon, just as her mother. So, Kaylee Alissa Corazon never knew about her true father. Though when she finally attended Beauxbatons when she turned eleven, she heard all the stories about the famous Harry Potter and all about his parents and their betrayal by their supposed best friend Sirius Black.
After she had returned the summer after her first year, she asked her mother if the black haired boy that lived with the Dursleys, was really Harry Potter, the famous wizard boy. And her mother told her the story, obviously leaving out the most important part, that Sirius was Kaylee's father.
And Kaylee herself hated Sirius for what he had done, and was confused that her mother didn't share her feelings. She knew her mother had been close friends with Harry's mother, but that was all Anna would ever tell her.
Then when she received her owl from her mother that night, she was confused as hell, and wanted an answer, and she decided she would get one just as soon as she arrived the next morning. So, to sum up, she's confused and angry at Sirius, not knowing the truth, and a little hurt that her mother never told her this supposed evil man was in fact, her birth father.
As for her interactions with Harry, Ron, and Hermione. She's going to be a bit of a rival with Harry as far as Quidditch. She will obviously think he's cute, since he actually is, but she's not head over the heels, boy crazy over him. In fact, she likes to tease him a lot, which irrates Harry cause he doesn't suspect at all that she may be doing it cause she likes him.
She likes Ron, but not nearly in the way she feels about Harry. She thinks he's cute in an adorable kind of way. And she finds him funny. And she can beat him in Wizards Chest. (Ta ha! Take that Ron! :P Don't get me wrong, Ron is actually my favorite character. I LOVE his facial expressions and sense of humor in even the 'worse' kind of danger.)
And she adores Hermione. She and Hermione will be best friends. She likes to read too, but not nearly as much as Hermione does, obviously. And she knows a bit herself about Muggles too, especially since she has to live in a neighborhood filled with them during the summer.
I think that's just about all. I hope you'll forgive me and allow me to make this all up to you when I'm feeling better. My head is killing me, something horrid. I'm going to bed now. Maybe it was something I ate. Night, all you lovely fans of mine.
LILY: First off, I have to ask once again. Does anyone know how the Scottish accent would be written? All I've got is Aye. But what else? See, I know how it sounds, but changing it to writing is another thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
MIRAI CLONE: Still on that, huh?
