Chapter 4: Muggle Madness and Wizarding Spells
Ilyan looked at her closed computer on her lap. The fact she now knew the wizarding world was real, but that she would never be able to tell her friends closed in on her. Her mind was still dazed with the reality her favourite book was as real as the clothes she was wearing astounded her, yet she wondered if she could even still read the books now as the characters were in contact... and new every word to be the truth.
"Are you alright? You seem umm a little quiet." She jumped as Hermione spoke to her.
"Oh yes.. sorry just thinking" she smiled looking at her again. Suddenly a thought came to her.
"You all have your wands on you right???" she looked anxiously towards the trio.
"Err yeah why though?" Harry looked suspicioulsy at her.
"Well I was just thinking. I've always wondered what they would look like and well..." blushing deeply. "Could I mabye hold one?"
Ron shook his head, "Don't look at me I just got a new one..."
"And err mines kinda important as well.. its connection to Voldemort" the others jumped at his name while Ilyan just nodded somomly.
"Hey wait. Since your just soooo much like Hermione.. why doesn't she let you look at hers..." Harry cracked up at Ron's higher pitched voice while the girls glared, but Hermione nodded.
"Well I guess you can I mean after all your just a muggle.. no offence.. so its not like you'll get any trouble just do be careful because I really can't just about with it and I don't want to take the risk." She handed over a long wooden object.
As she took the wooden piece she let out a gasp. It tingled to touch, was long and had a bright shine. It was smooth and long having a small sort of handle that without any distinguishment what so ever was obvious at both sight and feel. "What make of it is it? The book never says..." she drifted off mesmerized with the object.
"11 1/4' Willow and Unicorn hair core." Hermione said.
"Intresting... I wonder..." she gave it a light wave and said gently, "Wingardium Leviosa!" smiling softly and somewhat inticed by the wave of the wand.
"You might..." suddenly Harry let out a yell. "Err what the-" Harry slowly began to hover above his seat and wriggled trying to get back down.
"Oi! 'Mione!!! Grab Harry afore someone sees!" Ron grabbed for an arm as Hermione grabbed the other.
"Ilyan can you hand me.. my... ugghh...wand!" Ilyan thrust it at the fighting Hermione who grabbed it yelling, "Gravitosa Sanditiso!" with Harry plumetting down into his seat.
"Errr thanks Hermione" Harry muttered as they all turned to Ilyan with condemming glares.
She gulped looking from the wand to there faces. "I had no idea I swear it. I've never gotten a letter or anything. Give me some Veritaserum... I'd say the same thing .. I had no idea any of you existed, and nothing weirder then my own personality has occured in my life time."
"Hey all of you whatever is happening back here? I heard a commotion..." Tonks had gotten up and was now looking back and forth from the wand in Hermione's hand to the rest of them. "You know your not allowed magic outside of Hogwarts."
"But we didn't it was the muggle girl..." Ilyan blushed as Ron spoke up.
"Muggle girl? But I mean.. surely she's well a muggle" looked Tonks accusing.
Hermione handed Ilyan her wand again, "Do you know anything else? I guess from the nvoel though I'm not so sure about you anymore. Try something else."
Ilyan grabbed the wand before they could object, taking in her fingers the only thing that could come to her mind was a Patronus, and if right now wasn't the happiest moment in her life nothing could be. So swiflty she jerked back the wand saying, "Expecto Patronus!" a streak of mist came out as she spoke again clearer and more sure, "Expecto Patronus!!" this time the fog took shape and a horse came up to her out of it and nuzzled her shirt. The others just stared in shock as Moody and Lupin jumped up with wands out looking at the shocked and staring group.
"She is a deatheater!!!" yelled Moody, "Shall I-"
"Don't touch her Mad-eye you have no proof... let her explain," spoke Tonks quickly.
Remus just stared at the small horse nuzzling the girl that slowly evaporated pensively as it evaporated into a regular mist.
"Aww man thats not fair. Bloody not fair... I still can't get more then whips..." Ron was glaring at the horse with envy.
"Well it took me forever and I was underpressure too..." muttered Harry.
Hermione was just watching in delight.
"I mean life can't get much happier then right now... and its the only thing that came to mind... I didn't reallly think it would work..." Ilyan looked up in worry. "I swear I'm not a death eater... I hate Malfoys and the others, and Voldemort is the movst evil man alive... I swear it.. if I could get my hands on him.. or wormtail... or...or that Bellatrix..." she was turning read and cowering against the wall cursing the names of the various death eaters responsible for deaths of their beloveds. They watched the scene in shock at her fury until Remus reached out for the wand she was still clutching but now throwing out red sparks.
"Child we are in a public place.. give us the wand we believe you..." he smiled at her gently as she gave him the wand.
"I'm so sorry, it was just the shock and the fact that you thought I could be..." she shivered and looked as though she were about to cry.
"Oi its alright Ilyan... we beleive you," Ron patted her shoulder.
"Yes of course we do! Plus your much to cheerful for a death eater and what death eater in their right mind would think of the second spell to show to be Expecto Patronus I mean... after all the dementers are there allies after all."
"I still say she-"
"Oh moody! listen to Hermione she's right no doubt" Tonks was beaming at the youngster. "You know you remind me of myself at that age."
Ilyan smiled at the bright haired woman as Remus finally spoke, "That was a brilliant Patronus. The definant shape for just a newly found witch. It is strange that you wouldn't discover your talent until your 15th year..."
She looked up shocked, "Err if I may ask how did you know? sorry I just.."
Here he laughed, "I noticed in the inside of that last book that you had written in hearts this was your book being your fifteen amongst someother things..." his eyes travelled to Ron and Harry and she felt as though she were going to die.
"Oh"
"Yes.. oh.. now however.. your age is no matter as its strange but not totally unheard of. Is it possible you could give us your destination so I could send you an owl and notification to Dumbledore?" he was watching her as the others were whispering amongst themselves.
"Oh yes... sorry um a small town... Tibithy? Have you heard of it?" she noticed the recognition on their faces.
"Err yeah thats where we're heading I believe right Professor Moody?" Harry looked up.
"I told you boy not the Professor and yeah she's right... I'm telling yeah shes..."
"Yes yes we know a deatheater.. go on girl" entered Tonks.
"Oh yeah... umm well.. my father sent me there since he no longer can take care of me much... he's always away after my mothers death, he sent me to her mother... the really suprising thing as they never talk at all... so I'm suppose to meet my Grandmother there... the Lady Rhea Silvia.." here Remus did a double take and once more five eyes reflected puzzlement.
"But Professor Lupin isn't that your-?" Ron looked puzzled
All eyes were on him for a moment as he rolled his eyes saying, "Wonderful! My blasted sister's gone off and had a child!"
