"Magid... What in the bloody hell is a Magid?" Reia asked, some of her stress seaping to the surface.
"You can perform magic without a wand, you have the ability to communicate to creatures muggles would call 'mythical,' and on rare occasions, you can telepathically communicate with other Magids. It's quite impressive."
This... They've got to be kidding me... They honestly think I'm telepathic and telekenetic? Oh yeah, and I can talk to animals... If my parents knew about this...
That's when the thought finally dawned on her. Those people weren't her parents anymore. She wasn't spawn of those horrible, sad excuse for parents! Granted, she was the product of two Deatheaters' affair, but at least she didn't have to deal with that on a daily basis. She never had to see them again. She was free...
And then like fire, the memory of a hooded man throwing her father across her living room burned into her mind fast.
"What happened to my fa-- Richard? I only remember someone slamming him into a wall..."
"I understand you care about the well being of him--"
"I don't care about the well being of that bastard! I just don't want him to be dead!"
"He is fine, child. Only a bit banged up from what Sirius here has done to him."
Reia glanced over at the man a few feet from the bed. He was bearded and had unkempt brown hair to his shoulders. He was tall, thin and strong, but his limbs looked tired. His eyes were beautiful, and somehow reminded her of her own. A royal blue shade with enough silver in them to make them shine like a storm, yet they were different. Colder then hers, perhaps. This was an odd thing to see for Reia. With everything she had been through in her life, her own eyes were the coldest she had ever seen until now... But just then he looked at her, and the look in his eyes was something she hadn't seen directed towards her in a long time. It reminded her of the way a mother looked at her baby. It was... love. She stood up, knowing Dumbledore was about to introduce the two.
"Reia, this is Sirius Black... Your brother."
The man stared at her for a moment, as if he was remembering something about her from long ago, and hesitated to move. Reia was astonished. She had never known that she had a brother. It was something she desired, yes, but not something she expected.
Suddenly, without warning, the man moved forward quickly and Reia flinched as he raised his arms toward her. But instead of hitting her like she expected, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders in the first hug she had experienced in years. It felt wonderful, especially after she was braced for being knocked to the floor.
"I'm so sorry," was all he said while she stood there in the arms of her brother.
