The man was still quite dumbfounded by what Kri and Nixi had done. As they sat around the fire. He came to wonder why they were out here, what happen to them (for they both had deep gashes on their necks and Nixi had two small wounds on her bottom lip) and how did they came to get these powers they had. Weren't they witches? So finally, he asked what had happened. After an hour or so of Nixi and Kri telling their stories of how they came to be in the camp, how they became friends, and most importantly the strange attack on them only days ago. Neither had really considered what attacked them but how strange it was. The man was the one that would shed some light on this strange thing that attacked them.
"So you say this thing had teeth that which belonged to an animal, and um.. Drank you blood?"
"Yes" they said simultaneously
"And then Kri set it on fire and it turned to ashes?"
"Yes, that is how it happened." Kri said, still quite confused with the whole situation. Including how Sirius could have gone from dog to man. But she just dismissed it, for when they fist came into the cave it was quite dark so she could have just been seeing things.
"Well, what did this wouldn't be the most logical thing for muggles to comprehend."
"What are muggles?" Nixi asked. Both girls with a confused look on their faces
"Non-Magic people." the man raised his left eyebrow, "so I take it you aren't witches then?" Ignoring the question Nixi asked:
"Non….Magic?"
"Yea, there are witches and wizards all over the world"
"Is that what I killed, a wizard?" Kri asked
"No, wizards aren't like what you described. But vampires do, and that is what attacked you."
"Vampire?" Nixi echoed thoughtfully
"That's right. Vampires"
"Are….Are you a wizard?" Kri asked
"Um," he thought for a moment: 'well it's not like they would tell the ministry where I was, if I tell them I'm a wizard. They definitely aren't muggles, with all those powers, but they aren't in touch with my world.
"Yea" finally said
"Oh? Oh! This, this is weird! Vampires, witches, wizards. God, I would kill for a smoke" Nixi stood up and started pacing
"You smoke?" Kri asked, appalled.
"Yea, they wouldn't let me at camp and I thought I was gonna die!" she quickly turned to the man
"Hey! Since you're a wizard, can't you just wave your wand or something and make a pack and a lighter appear?" Nixi asked
"Excuse me?"
Nixi then realized he knew nothing of what she wanted.
"No"
"Why not?" she pleaded
"Well, I'm hiding out form the Ministry of Magic, it is the government so to speak of the wizarding world and they keep track of all magic spells or potions done all over the world. So doing even the smallest thing like your asking would draw attention. And even if could, I don't know what 'smoking' is."
"Why are you hiding?" Kri asked, ignoring Nixi's pacing and mumbling. Suddenly, becoming frightened.
"They think I killed 12 people"
With that said Nixi stopped pacing to stare at the man, while Kri began to tremble.
"But I didn't" he continued, "someone was out to kill me and then everything that he had done landed on me. Honest."
Nixi hadn't stopped staring at him, when Kri only had the nerve to slowly raid her head.
"I believe you" Nixi said. Something inside her was saying that he was telling the truth.
"Who are you? Why won't you tell us your name?!" came the thoughtful voice of Kri.
"Well, at first, I didn't want to tell you my name because I thought if you were witches, you'd surely tell someone I was here. I guess I just forgot to tell you after I found out you were muggle-raised. But as you believe I am innocent, which I am" he added playfully, "My name is Sirius Black."
"Look, the rain stopped." Nixi said sadly, forgetting Kri and Sirius' conversation.
"I guess you'll want us to leave?" she continued
"Actually, if you don't mind I would like to take you to see one of my friends." "Who?" Kri asked timidly
"He is headmaster of a school that teaches kids with gifts like yours. I think if you want, you might be able to get into the school. Your powers are equal to that of a witch."
"How, we don't have any money." Kri admitted sadly
"Don't worry about that, just meet him. It would have to wait till tomorrow though. But for now I can take you to get some food and Nixi, you can get whatever it is you wanted."
"What do you think Kri?" Nixi asked, already wanting to go
"Yea, I guess."
"Good, just one thing. I'll have to go as a dong."
"Why?" Nixi questioned
"Well, 11 of the 12 people I supposedly killed were muggle, and I'm still wanted. Especially now that I broke out of prison."
"Oh yes, of course" Nixi had forgotten about his story when her spoke of the anonymous school.
"Do you have any money?" Kri asked
"Yea, um…that's the other problem."
"No worries." Nixi said cheerfully, exposing her hand that had 3 diamond rings on it and pulling out a pearl necklace from a pocket.
"Where did you get those?!" Kri asked excitedly
"Oh, just picked the up from that nice little place we stopped at." Nixi giggled
"Great!" Sirius said, before changing into the large, black dog. They walked for about an hour until they came across an old ugly town with it's only major buildings being an Amoco and Piggly-Wiggly. They first headed over to the gas station where and old man about the age of 65 was working behind the counter.
"Give me 2 boxes of Marlboro 100 Light" Nixi said
"I.D. please." the old man asked
"Oh, man. I left my I.D at home!" Nixi lied. Kri began to choke back a laugh
"What if I just gave you this diamond for the cigarettes and 2 lighters? O.K?" Nixi questioned in almost a seductive way.
"Lemme see that ring!" the old man snatched the ring from Nixi. Staring at it and without taking his eyes off it slid Nixi the cigarettes and lighters. He mumbled something that sounded like 'Have a nice day' as Nixi and Kri walked toward the exit. She wasn't even half way out the store before she had a cigarette out, ready to light.
"MMMMMMM" she moaned as she put the lit cigarette in her mouth and took a deep breath.
"This is a cigarette," she said, holding it down for Sirius to see. He growled in discomfort, for its aroma was making him sick.
"Um, Nixi," Kri began "Can I have a lighter?" She finished quickly. Nixi stared in disbelief.
"Kri! It's ok, I don't mind if you wanna smoke. Here, lemme give you a-"
"No! I-uh, just want a lighter." Kri mumbled
"Why? What are you, some kind of a pyro?" Kri went silent and stared at the dirt road.
"Oh My God! You are a pyro!
"I never really got around to telling you" Kri's face split into a smile
They walked across the street to the Piggly-Wiggly. Sirius had to wait outside as they went in. With one foot in the door, they both split in different directions, Kri clicking the lighter on and off madly and Nixi having to put her cigarette out. After 20 minutes they were done shopping. Having gotten what they needed and exchanged if for the pearl necklace. Bt the time the 3 got back to the cave the sun was setting, Nixi was on her 2nd carton of cigarettes, Kri had half an apple and Sirius had turned back into a man and was snacking on a bag of Doritos. When they stepped into the cave there was a beautiful snow-colored owl with a letter strapped to its leg.
"Looks like we've got company" Kri said noticing the owl
"Actually, this is how we send letters to each other"
"R-i-g-h-t" Nixi said, looking quite confused
"Harry's checking up on me again" noted Sirius, reading the letter
"Who's Harry?" Nixi asked
"Is he cute?!" Kri added quickly. Nixi shot her a dirty look that said 'Really, is that all you think about?' She laughed, knowing that's all she thought about too.
"He's my god-son."
"Ohhhh…ok" Kri said looking slightly embarrassed. Nixi's face tinted red as well.
"Where does he live?" Kri asked
"Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry"
"Would this be the same school this headmaster is coming from?"
"Yes, his name is Professor Albus Dumbledor."
"Dumbledor?" Kri asked
"Albus?" Nixi asked
"Yea, best wizard that ever lived. I've gotta send him a letter telling about you 2 and a letter to Harry telling him I'm still ok."
"So you say this thing had teeth that which belonged to an animal, and um.. Drank you blood?"
"Yes" they said simultaneously
"And then Kri set it on fire and it turned to ashes?"
"Yes, that is how it happened." Kri said, still quite confused with the whole situation. Including how Sirius could have gone from dog to man. But she just dismissed it, for when they fist came into the cave it was quite dark so she could have just been seeing things.
