Disclaimer/Claimer: Routine here folks, nothing to be scared of...... I own the song and Kacie, and sadly, nothing else belongs to me.
Kacie rolled her luggage to the barrier of platforms 9 and 10. She hugged her sisters good-bye, and she picked up Lindsaye and Kameron in turn. She kissed her mother's cheek good-bye and hugged her father. When she was finally done saying good-byes to everyone, she ran into the barrier. She soon found herself on Platform 9 and 3/4, and she smiled. She was on her way.
She found an empty compartment and settled in there. However, after about two minutes into the trip, the three people she had seen in the store in Diagon Alley found their way in there.
"Oh, sorry. We thought it was empty. We'll leave then," said the girl as she grimaced a sort of smile and turned to leave.
The others did the same. "You don't have to. I don't need to be alone." After hearing this, they all stopped and turned back to face her.
"Thanks," Harry said as he took a seat next to the red-haired boy across from her.
She shrugged and looked out a window. The other three began talking, and Kacie did her best not to listen.
"I hear that this year, they're taking extra precautions, but they won't say why. Blimey, not even my own father will tell me what it is that's going on this year," the other boy said, looking from Harry to the girl.
"Ron, don't you think they would have a reason not to tell you? I mean, after all, Charlie did say that we'd probably find out tonight from Dumbledore," the girl said.
"Yeah, so?"
Harry interrupted them. "Do you think it might have to do with the World Cup? I mean, Winky being found with my wand right under where the Dark Mark was-"
Kacie knew there was more, but the girl interrupted him. "Shh! Harry, don't forget, we're not the only ones in here!" she said, holding a finger to her lips as she whispered the last part.
Kacie turned her head to face them. "Don't worry, I already know all about that. My brother-in-law works for the Ministry of Magic. He told me all about that. Seems as though Mr. Crouch let her go right after they left the scene."
All three of them looked at her. "Oh," the girl said as she looked down at her hands. "Okay then."
Kacie let out a small laugh. "Don't worry about it. My name's Kacie. Kacie Thorn. Who're you?" she asked them, smiling.
Harry and Ron introduced themselves, but the girl just looked at her. "Hermione, don't you want her to know who you are?" Ron asked, looking curiously at her.
Hermione blinked and dove for a book in her bag. She pulled it out and started flipping through it.
"Oh come on Hermione, we haven't even reached Hogwarts yet! Why do you need to look in a book now?" Ron said, rolling his eyes and slumping back into his seat.
"Here! I knew I heard of her before! Look, right here, it says:
Born on August 17, 1980, Kacie is quite a powerful young witch. Able to perform quite advanced spells at age five, Kacie is an excellent student at Durmstrang. Although Kacie enjoys Durmstrang, she is considering transferring to Hogwarts or St. Ivory's."
"So? Point being what?" Ron said.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Honestly, am I going to have to tell you everything? She's transferring into our year!"
Kacie simply nodded. "Read on, go ahead. They might as well hear the rest."
Hermione nodded and looked back at the book. "The last of the children, Kacie is also found on the quidditch team. She plays Seeker, and so far has always retrieved the Snitch. Training hard day and night with her sisters, Kacie loves the game. She currently flies a Firebolt, but owns her specially made broom.
"kacie prides her broom made by her grandfather, who died two months later. Entitled the Flaming Star, it is made to focus on her mind set, and it accelerates rapidly. "(My) grandfather said he named it after me. Calls me his flamin' star when I play on the field he does. Never going to be sold anywhere else. I treasure it.""
They all looked at her. She had said the quote along with Hermione, and now she was smiling as if in a trance.
"Er, are you okay?" Harry asked, looking at her carefully.
Kacie looked at him normally again. "Yeah. Sorry, continue."
Hermione widened her eyes and slowly shook her head as she continued. "Like her other sisters, Kacie is top of her class. Majoring in Transfiguration and Charms, she also enjoys History of Magic.
"Since she was born, Kacie has had a rare gift. She has a singing voice that can enchant any listener."
Once again, they all looked at her. "You can enchant people by singing?" Harry asked, obviously surprised.
"Yeah."
Ron's eyes were about as wide as they could get. Hermione was shutting the book and replacing it in her bag. "Could we hear you?" she asked.
Kacie sighed. "Well, I would guess so. The only problem is the effect lasts about five to ten minutes."
They shrugged. "Okay then. Here goes."
She took a deep breath and opened her mouth. She began to sing a song her mother had taught her when she was four.
"Oh, let the light protect the youth
And forever hold your mind
For when a day comes to you
You'll find your eyes blind
The purest of souls indeed you are
My
youngest child, my shining star
I'm always here, forever in
you
In truth you will be there too
Look out for her my purest light
And keep her true to her beliefs
Keep her mind from straying far
And meet all her deepest needs
In your eyes lies the future
To you your voice will lure
Keep secret your deepest desire
And never will you ever tire."
As she finished her song, she looked at the other three. They had peaceful looks on their faces and she sighed. They were indeed under the trance.
She stood and walked to the door leading to the other compartment. She could hear people through it. She leanded against it and heard a familiar voice.
"I think
she's done. Shall we enter?"
She gripped the handle and
pulled. In fell Draco Malfoy, two larger boys in the background. She looked at
him and rolled her eyes. She slammed the door shut, fully aware that the door
had hit Malfoy's head.
She sat back down in her seat and crossed her arms over her chest. Malfoy pushed the door open and entered, followed by the other large boys.
"What did you do?" he asked, not wasting time.
"What does it matter to you?"
He sat down across from her after he pushed Harry and Ron on the floor. "You did something to make them like this," he said as he motioned to them. "What was it? I demand you tell me."
She sniggered. "You think I'll answer you just because you demand I tell you? Oh please. Well, if you're serious, you might want to try again."
Malfoy glared at her. "Look, it can't be that hard for your mind to work. So why don't you just tell me?"
At this, the two large boys laughed. Malfoy smirked and crossed his arms.
"Look, it can't be that hard for you to take a hint. Get lost Malfoy, unless you want to end up like them," she said as she jabbed her thumb towards Hermione, Harry and Ron.
"Please, as if you can do that to me, Draco Malfoy."
"Oh my lord, you really do need an attitude deflation. You're not invincible you know. Only immortals are. So do me a favor and get yourself lost."
Malfoy sneered at her and stood. Right before he left to enter the other compartment, he looked at her over his shoulder. "By the way, you might want to watch who you make friends with. Some are better than others, and the others can get you killed quicker than you could by yourself."
