Chapter 5- The Sky Starts To Clear
"Sakyra, you have a guest." Mrs. Olson said, poking her head into the room. Sky was lying on her bed listening to her CD player while all the other girls were out in the Quad.
"What? Who?" Sky asked, she had no idea who could possibly visit her, she had no more family left, and she didn't have any close friends at school or anything. Mrs. Olson opened the door and stepped in, followed by a man, he had a tremendously long beard of white hair and half-moon shaped spectacles.
"Hello Sakyra, it's a pleasure to meet you finally."
"Umm, yes, hello." She said, standing up. She waved her hand slightly, completely perturbed by the current situation.
"Well, I'll leave you two alone to talk about your lives." Mrs. Olson said, slowly backing out of the room and closing the door. Dumbledore motioned for Sky to sit down,
"Now Sky, I know you are probably wondering who I am, I am Albus Dumbledore."
Sky stared at him in disbelief, but finally recognized his features; she began to talk in a rapid pace,
"You're Dumbledore? My aunt told me all about you, you defeated Grindelwald and Sir Patrick Delaney and you helped invent the Sorcerer's Stone, and you Split the Rainbow Diamond into the three elements of Unity and-" She was cut off however by Albus,
"Ms. Sky, I am aware of my discovers and accomplishments, but I am here to offer you something more, something bigger and better. I am here to ask you to come with us to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry." Dumbledore said.
Sky slowed down, falling back on her bed, she had heard of that place before,
"Hogwarts, my aunt mentioned that school once, it was where one of her boyfriends went. Where is it, in California?" She asked. The older warlock chuckled softly,
"No, no my dear. Hogwarts is in England, a little ways outside of River Wangt in fact, though the exact location is a secret."
Now Sky had completely fallen back on her bed so that she was lying down. Some funny things were happening in England, her aunt always kept on with what was happening in international news and ever since she was eleven strange things have been happening. It was all to do with Voldemort really. Sky's aunt was one of the few people, who still thought Voldemort was alive, but Sky was no longer a skeptic,
"All the way in England, but isn't that where all the dark stuff is brewing up again?" She asked. Dumbledore nodded solemnly, he thought it best not to inform Sky of the exact way her aunt had perished, not yet anyway.
"Well Sky, it's completely up to you, I can try to find some way of putting you into a day school here in America, or inside o a boarding school if you don't want to travel to England, it's just an offer."
"Well, Mr. Dumbledore, it would be my pleasure to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the only problem is who I would be staying with." Sky looked don at her feet; her last remark had just reminded her of the reason she was in this hellhole. She had no family left, well she didn't exactly know about her father so maybe he was alive, but her aunt had always said he was dead.
"Well Ms. Sky, I have already thought of that. I have a friend; Arabella Figg, she lives in Kansas. She is moving back to England in late August and you could stay with her, like a trial basis."
"Well sir, I love that offer, thanks, thanks a lot!" Sky said, jumping up and hugging Albus Dumbledore. She was leaving, off to find a better place, a better life, and maybe a better place to call home
* * * * *
Sky packed up all of her stuff. Today she was going to meet Arabella Figg and live with her in Kansas, America until they went to Hogwarts. Sky placed her last tank top shirt into her large black trunk and sat down on her bed, placing her headphones on her head,
"He spends his nights in California
Watching the stars on the big screen
And then he lies awake and he wonders
Why can't that be me?"
Sky was singing one of her favorite songs by 3 Doors Down, a muggle group. Sakyra stood up with her Discman still on and began jumping up and down pretending to play a fake guitar. She started shaking her head wildly and vigorously moving,
"Cause in his life he's filled with all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not mention right now
Just before he says goodnight
He looks up with a little smile at me, and he says
"If I could be like that, I'd give anything." Another voice said calmly from the doorway. Sky immediately looked up with surprise. A young woman with brownish blonde hair was standing in the doorway. She was very tall with beautiful brown eyes and a fair skin color.
"Arabella Figg I presume." Sky said, gently stepping off the bed and extending her hand. The woman shook it,
"The young miss Sakyra I presume. I love that song." She smiled. Sky reached for her trunk, lifting it up with a grunt,
"You know Sakyra, you can use magic, you won't get in trouble by the Minist- I mean Cabinet." Arabella said. She was used to the Ministry of Magic in England, but America had the Seclusion of Magic Cabinet. Her aunt home taught Sakyra, so she had permission to use magic in-between certain hours of certain days.
"So shall we get going?" Arabella asked as Sky pulled out her wand and magicked her trunk into the air with a levitation spell. It was much more complex than 'Wingardium Leviosa', but it was better because unlike the predecessor, one's concentration needn't stay on the spell.
"What kind of wand is that?" Arabella said, she was trying to make small talk. Albus had told her very little about this girl and she wanted to know more.
"Violet Birch, rare wood, it is only found in Albania. The length is 9 ½ and the core is a Charizard heartstring."
"What's a Charizard?" Arabella asked, Sky laughed,
"You probably won't believe me, it's a small dragon-like creature. The one who donated this is from the future."
"Really Sakyra, now that's different." By then they were downstairs at the front doors of the orphanage. Arabella handed the clerk at the front desk a pile of papers that legally signed Sky out to Arabella as her child.
"Yeah, well the man who sold it to my aunt for me, he was from the future. His name was Fred Weasel."
"Weasley?"
"Yeah, that's it. He said he had traveled to the future and somehow he met up with my aunt and recognized her as one of his mother's old friends. I didn't believe him at first, but my aunt said he was telling the truth."
"Well, that is Fred's style, I suppose you'll only meet his younger brother, Fred and George, that's his twin, they'll have graduated last year." They were outside at the parking lot of the orphanage now. Arabella led them through a path of vehicles, apparently she knew exactly where hers was.
"So, you live in Kansas right? Do you have a boyfriend, or husband?"
"No, I reckon I really don't think about that stuff a lot." Sky snickered a little, but Arabella heard it,
"What's so funny?"
"You talk weird, 'I reckon'." She mocked an English accent very good. Maybe it was in her blood. Arabella stopped at an orange sports car with no top.
"This is it." She said flatly. Sky stood still with her mouth hanging open, "My accent doesn't matter as much anymore does it?" Arabella asked, throwing Sky's bags in the trunk and hopping over the door and into the front driver's seat of the car. Sky tossed her backpack onto the floor of the passenger side seat and slowly fingered the brand name of the car, Mustang Z-3 coupe.
"Come on." Arabella whined, she was just like a big kid Sky thought to herself. Sakyra hopped on he back of the car, spun around once and landed safely in her seat, her legs spread out on either side of her backpack.
"Nice one."
"I know."
* * * * *
The orange sports car pulled into the local airport in Minnesota.
"C'mon Sakyra, we gotta get out, the car is going to be air transported to Kansas and we'll meet it there."
"So we are taking the plane Ms. Figg?"
"Yes, but it does not leave for a few hours, oh and call me 'Bella."
"Okay, and call me Sky." A young man in a suit came running over to valet the car while Arabella gave him some papers. After a little talking the man took Arabella's keys and pulled off in the car. Sky and Arabella were left standing alone in the parking lot.
"Wanna go shopping?" Arabella asked, not looking over at Sky. Sky stood there for a moment to ponder this,
"Of course."
* * * * *
A burst of hot stale air hit Sky as she opened the doors to the Mall of America. They had taken an airport taxi to the mall. Sky entered the mall with anticipation; it was the largest mall in America with all the coolest shops and stores. Arabella entered behind her,
"You like? Maybe we should go get some more clothes." She said. Sly looked down at her faded jeans and tank top, it was pretty warm but usually she was a fashion stickler.
"Yeah, I do need some more clothes, but I don't really have a lot of money on me. Is this mall really expensive?"
"Not that expensive, but don't worry, I'm your guardian now and I have more than enough for you."
Sky smiled slightly and the two started walking toward D.E.M.O.
* * * * *
Sky walked out of D.E.M.O. with a short white skirt on and tight white shirt with J.Lo printed on it. Arabella walked out wearing a shot dress with gold designing and a golden scarf.
"So Sky, you like?" Arabella asked. Sky nodded and the two walked off . . .
