Chapter 2:
They walked quickly to the Great Hall and took their seats. Calico looked up to see Professor Brightman walking towards them. Lily elbowed Calico.
"Is he coming this way?"
"Yes, I need medicine from him," replied Cal.
Lily looked at Calico oddly before nodding slowly.
"There you are Miss Lecka, drink it quickly though, it has a very foul taste."
"Thank you sir."
Calico downed the goblet of red liquid and coughed. "Ew!"
Lily laughed at the face made by Calico before returning to her breakfast. Calico ate hers gratefully. She hoped that after eating a good meal and having her potion that the energy she used this morning would be somewhat replenished.
"Lils! Cal! Great to see you!" exclaimed James.
"Morning James," said Cal without looking up.
The owls swooped down and she noticed her mother's tawny owl Ether coming to her. She held out her arm and the owl landed holding out his leg to her. She untied the letter and read it.
"My dear Calico,
I got the letter from Professor Dumbledore last night. It's good you're taking that potion, you should be able to go out into the light. But please test it while you are inside before you run outdoors without your cloak. I have sent you a picture of your father and I to put on your bedside table. Yes, he looks somewhat normal. See you at Christmas.
Love,
Bridgette"
Calico fished the picture out of the envelope and looked at it. Her mother's straight blonde hair and blue eyes stood out against her father's appearance. He was very tall with very pale skin, eyebrow length black hair, and black eyes that shone out against the white skin. Calico was just about a carbon copy of her father, save the skin tone and eye color. Her skin had more tone to it and her eyes were navy blue instead of black.
"Is that your dad?" asked Lily, leaning over to get a better look at the picture.
"Yeah."
"You look a lot like him."
"That's what my mother tells me," said Calico with a smile.
"Does your dad have the same sensitivity to light?" asked Lily.
"Yes, yes he does," answered Calico, also staring at her father in the picture.
They rose from their chairs a few minutes later and left for their frist class of the day. Calico was walking cloaked through the halls to charms with Lily, getting an odd stare every now and again from a passerby. They took seats that were near James and his friends and waited for Professor Flitwick.
"Good Morning class! Welcome to your first day of charms! I'm going to take roll so when I call your name, please raise your hand to indicate that you are in fact present."
Right before he called Calico's name he paused and looked up.
"Lecka, Calico?"
Calico raised her hand and his attention focused upon her.
"Are you cold my dear?"
"No sir, I'm quite comfortable."
"Could you remove your cloak then?"
"No sir, I'm afraid your room is a bit too bright."
"She has a sensitivity to light Professor," said Lily quickly.
Professor Flitwick waved his wand and the curtains snapped shut and the room was shadowed in darkness. He waved his wand again and lit the many torches on the walls of the room. Calico removed her cloak and laid it aside. She noted that most of the students were staring at her.
"I like it when I can see all of my students," said Professor Flitwick with a smile. "Even you Miss Lecka."
"The bell sounded an hour later and they got up for Transfiguration. Calico clasped her cloak and walked out into the hall.
"That was a good lesson," said Calico to Lily.
"Yeah, it was fun."
"You guys are geeks," said James with a laugh.
"You liked it too, just admit it."
"Never."
Time Jump (Beginning of Christmas Break)
Calico woke early and did the usual morning routine. Since she'd been taking the potion she'd be able to build up the strength to go outside. This meant that she could go and have snowball fights with her friends on the grounds in the fresh fallen snow. She wasn't going home for Christmas. Her parents would be visiting her for one day and then they were off to Italy for Christmas. Today would be the day that her parents were coming. She smiled and put on an outfit that her mother had bought her in Paris and her heavy winter cloak.
"Cal, you're honestly not going to go out in those designer clothes are you?" asked Lily upon seeing her pants.
"Yes I am. I hate this outfit. My parents buy me the best stuff and sometimes I wish I could have stuff that isn't of some great value! Do you want some? I'll give you my clothes! They'll just buy me more!"
Lily laughed as Calico began to throw shirts and sweaters onto her bed saying that they now belonged to Lily.
"Wear what you like, I'll meet you in the common room!"
Calico entered the common room and found the boys minus Peter sitting around the fireplace talking and eating toast.
"Hey Cal! What's shakin'?" asked James handing her a piece of toast.
"Waiting for Lily," said Cal taking a bite of the toast.
"Then you'll be waiting all day."
Cal laughed and Lily came out a few minutes later.
"I do not take all day James Potter," said Lily with her hands resting on her hips.
"Lets go outside!" said Cal enthusiastically.
Not long after stepping onto the grounds, the snowball fight of the century occurred. After two hours of intense war the sound of hooves and crunching snow was heard as a carriage approached. Cal jumped up and began running towards it.
"Mommy! Daddy!"
Her cloak billowed behind her as she came to a halt in front of the carriage door. The rest of her friends followed behind her slowly. They first saw a tall woman get out of the coach. Hair that was gold and straight that fell gracefully onto her shoulders. Bright sparkling eyes and a warm smile. Calico hugged her mother and seemed to be bouncing on her feet as she waited for her father to get out of the coach. The first thing that anyone saw was the pale white hand that belonged to none other than Cal's father.
