Chapter 4 Secrets of Nikore and the Cousin
Harry opens his eyes and sat straight up, his start to gasp for the cold air, he knew the fire went out. He stood up and grab a robe and started walking down stairs and saw the fire had went out, he whisper quietly "Lumos!" and his wand lighted up, he walk quietly to the fire place, and that's when he started to hear sobbing, it then got louder it sounded like a girls, but he couldn't tell.
He turn to the fire place and spoke loudly enough for the person to hear, "Incendio" the fire started up and he look over to see it was Nikore huddle in a corner. He walk over to her and out a hand on her shoulder, she jump up and look up. Harry jump and fell back wards onto his back. He watches as she covers her eyes with her hands.
"Harry, please go back to bed." She spoke softly as if someone might be in the room.
"You are sobbing, what is wrong?" He whisper, but he continue to stare, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
"Harry, go back to bed, I am fine, and I just had a nightmare and ran. I must have tripped." She replies. She turns her head away and spoke only a few other words. "The light has done something, Harry, please go."
Harry stood quickly and ran to the door and open it, he ran up stares and turn off his wand. He went under the cover and lay his head down. He begs for the singing comes back, but it did not. The nightmare once again started up, but this time in the nightmare, Lord Voldemort had taken not only his family and friends, but Nikore's as well.
"Harry, wake up!" A voice woke him up, he look up to find Ron and few other boys over him, staring at him, "Bloody Harry, you sure frighten us with screaming." It was Ron voice.
"What time is it?" Harry asks in a tiring voice. Harry reached for his glasses and sat back up.
"It's an hour before we need to be up 'Arry." A blonde-haired boy looking down at Harry. "You must be haven a bad nightmare to scream that loud."
"Yea sorry about that. Go back to bed, it was just bad." Harry reply and lay back down. He sigh and every boy turn back to their beds and fell asleep. Harry lay there, but he felt horrible, but in his mind he wanted to go to the filing room and check on the girl name Misty. He heard; snoring, sighing, whimpering, the great sound of sleeping. He stood up from his bed and grabs his invisible cloak, he wrap it around him and took off down the stairs, he look around the room to see Nikore was no longer there, so he turn and walk on. Down the stairs and then down the dungeons and went into a filing room. He walks over to find the year once more and open it.
Now he did not seem to find interest in this Misty, but into Nikore Wolf, he walk and it took awhile to find his year, for some strange reason it was in the back. He opens the very bottom and once again, "Show me the file of Nikore Wolf," soon enough after said 20 files came up at once. His eyes got big, and moved them to the side. He grabs one, it looks thin, and to his surprise, it said 'continue' on the top and it had schools,
'Brinck'
'Tilatorily, private school for girls'
'Witches and Wizards for gifted'
'Mixizrites'
Harry was surprise there must have been 100 schools on this one little file. He look down and notice 'Hogwarts' and under it look like a transfer to a different school, 'Mixizrites, Sirens and Medicine Witch' Harry look up for a minute to think, how and why had she been transfer to all these schools, and why was she being transfer once more.
Harry put down the file folder and grab one that look thinner. Could it be another one of those schools she went in? He hurries and picks it up and there was private information on her.

Harry read on about Nikore, he was more shock to know she had join more clubs and the Achievements was off the scale for any Witch or Wizards, there had to be more then 40 different Achievements, and Clubs. He looks at his watch and lightly taps his wand on the papers, and then another set made. He picks them up, looks at them, and had the same writing as the real copy. He put all the files back in the cabinet, then went under his cloak, and took off.
Up in the room sat Hermione and Ron along with a sick looking Nikore. Hermione look at Nikore and notice that her red on her hair was fading slowly and her clear blue eyes, was green.
"You ok Nikore? You don't look so well, maybe you should stay here and get some rest, you were toss and turning, and then I found you down here in a corner." Hermione went over and sat next to Nikore, who look like she was ready to burst into tears if touched.
"I am fine dear, dear friend, I am afraid a nightmare came last night and I could not sleep." She replies quietly.
"Harry had a nightmare last night, bloody he was yelling up a storm." Ron said this got Nikore attention and look at him.
"Did he say what it was?" Nikore ask with authority.
"No, the singing stop last night, it must of attack to who ever had that great voice last night." Ron said looking at Hermione.
Nikore stood up and then fell once more, it was no surprise to her she could not stand, Hermione had to help her dress and come down the stairs. Hermione notice her eyes nearly close until the door open and then went up the boys. Nikore eyes widen then and look to see Hermione thinking.
"Don't think to hard Hermione, we got potions today." Nikore said trying to smile at Hermione.
Ron and Hermione gave off a small laugh and a smile. Hermione lean over to whisper something to Ron and then he took off and out of the portrait. "How is your arm doing since yesterday?"
"Its doing fine, hurts only a tad bit, but that is not the last I be falling off a Unicorn." She try to sit up and look at the surprise look on Hermione face, she giggles a bit, "Maybe I had forgot to tell you my Aunt and Uncle owns some Unicorn since they are almost dead."
"How unique, what are they like?"
"They are so beautiful in the moonlight, I am not allowed out after dark after I was attack, but I snuck out every night to see their white shimmering coats in the moon." Soon Harry walk down stairs black under each eyes from the lack of sleep he got from last night. He look at Nikore he notice that her hair and eyes were different and she look drain. "Harry, you look as tired as I do."
"Yea horrible night and I was afraid something happen to you after I left you down here."
"Harry its fine, the fire was playing tricks when it comes to my eyes since they are so clear blue," She sigh a bit, and lays her head back.
Next, they knew the door was open and there stood Head Master Dumbledore. He looks at the three look at him, as Ron came out from behind him and went next to his friends. Nikore seem frighten at this and try to look more away then ever.
"Is what I heard correct? Nikore you do not seem to feel very good?" He asks in his normal voice.
"Master Dumbledore I don't know what you are talking about, I am only tired." She replies quietly to the Master.
"You know you have a condition and you must not over do it." He lean over to pick her up, "Thank you Ron, and Harry you must go see the Nurse for yourself, and you seem you are drain of life." He turns and walks out with Nikore in his arms leaving the three best friends. After he was out of site Harry sat, down and brought out his cauldron and started on his last ingredients.
"Where did you go last night?" Hermione ask, she stare at him her brows drawn together.
"Filing room." He replies to Hermione.
"Again with Melody, you have to be kidding Harry." Hermione said.
"No on Nikore Wolf herself. There is more then we thought about her." He said looking mad.
"What you talking about?" Ron said watching Harry stir his cauldron.
"Nikore is not 16, she is 208 years old." He replies throwing some papers on the table. Hermione grab them and look at them.
"She can't be that old Harry, maybe they mess up her birth date." She started to flip through the papers and then laugh when she reaches the 'Blood Relatives' "You can't say she related to Malfoy, she so nice."
"It says she related to them?" Ron look more surprise then Hermione.
"I would not be surprise, she has money, half-breed or not." He said
"Now you hate her cause she related to them?" Hermione look at Harry.
"No, but why hide it?" He asks looking at Ron and Hermione, "I remember she mention that he would be embarrassed with her." He stares at them for a minuet.
Hermione look down and notice what time it was, it was time to go to 'Defense against the Dark Arts' "Well we must go homework to turn in." She said and they all got up with their cauldrons in hand and started walking down to the class.
They walk down the stairs and notice Draco was in nowhere in site, so where was he? Questions raised in Harry every step he took to class. He was sure not to drop his cauldron, cause Snape was sure ready to fail him every chance he got here. They finally reach class and Harry saw that his two friends sat together and he by himself.
The teacher soon enough enter and had all the windows close and it was dark, she pointed at a rejecter and then started looking at her book of students and look up, "Nikore is ill once again?" Ms. Magically asks she looks down at Harry who was the only one sitting by himself. "Mr. Potter you look tired and ill, would you like to go to the hospital wing?" Harry look at her shaking his head. "Very well, first pass up her homework; I am sure enough you all did it, if not I will double the homework for that person."
Some took gulps; some look pale at the last few words to what she said. Double homework, for the first day in her class they were given hard homework for no reason it was as if she was meaning to punish them for coming to this school. Harry brought out his homework and it was past up, being the first person in the row, he must stand up and walk to the teacher and hand them to her. As he walk back to his place his legs collapse under him and he felt himself drift into sleep, and the last he heard was a female voice rang, 'Please leave him alone!'
Harry woke finally notices that it was dark out, he sat up in his bed, look around, and saw Nikore was reading the strange book she carried around, the bangs of her hair was that little darker, looking like she was being normal. She must have felt his stare because she lifted her head up and gave a small smile.
"Hello Harry, good to wake." She said with a smile. She did not look tired, she look like she well rested.
"Yea, why did the head master take you personally?"
"I'm sorta ill is all, I am afraid I thought I was ready to come to school to make friends of my own age." She sigh and close her book, she went to turn and that is when Harry saw it, that tattoos he made sure he got a real good look at them.
"You're sick?"
"Kind of, Harry please does not tell Ron and Hermione."
"How are you sick? I don't understand if your sick they wouldn't let you come to school would they?"
"Harry, no one can catch it, its a little birth affect when I was born is all, and I tend to get ill when I don't take my medicine on time."
"Oh." Was all he could say, he watch Nikore gave a small smile, she still look like she was sick, that when he decided to look at his watch and notice it was very late into the night. He had miss potions, knowing that Snape will try to fail him once more.
"Don't worry; when I was taken up here, then you were brought in 20 minuets later. I ask if they could take your cauldron to Snape's class for you and I, so we would not fail his class."
"Thanks, that kinda means a lot for you to ask them to do that for me since he wants me to fail so badly."
"Never did understand that part, he wants you to fail. Why is that Harry?"
"My dad, he kinda played mean tricks on him when they were in school together."
"That sounds kinda silly to me. To hold a grudge that your dad did when they were in school together and hold it against you cause you're his kid." She spoke firmly to him.
"I know, but I don't blame him, because I don't like him either since day one. He seem so mean and rude to me and my friends." Harry replies, giving a small laugh.
"Well then that sounds great to me then, you both exchange hate for one another then."
"You mention you are a half-breed, what his your other half if you are a witch."
"I rather not talk about it, I am too tired at this moment and I would like to see Hagrid tomorrow, and maybe I can have my bandages taken off in the morning. I hope he brings Remedy." She turns off the light, lies down, and closes her eyes. Harry lay down and waited for sleep over come him. He did not understand it, why sleep would not come for the split second, but soon it did and he dream.
It was a special dream that night, he was not in it, but Nikore was, but it seems it was different then a normal dream. He saw her run down a muddy road and laughing about it. She look like she was the same age now, but her hair was few inches shorter, and her eyes were not so clear.
Nikore stop by a building and her smile disappears; she looks down as if she was nerves. She slowly walks in and there stood a man behind a bed like furniture. He put a red pillow where he head needed to be.
"Nikore, sorry what I heard, I didn't think it could be true." The man said with a sad tone.
"I'm only 16 Bones, why do I have to be chosen, why do I have to have the blood in my veins." She said she lay on her stomach as her Bones pulled up her shirt.
"Your parents they told you how it needs to be done?"
"Sorta." She mumbles softly
"This will hurt, and this will take four days, three hours a day."
"Ok."
"Why don't you sing a song while I get things ready, it wills sooth you?"
Why do I have to be so different?
Why can't I be like the kids?
Why does life have to be different for me?
How can my mom and dad do this?
How can they allow there only daughter?
Am I not really, really loved?
She covers her face into the pillow as she started to feel something poke her skin. She dug her head into the pillow, as far as Harry knew in his dream she would be crying and allowing the tears spill.
Harry dream on through the night, watching Nikore cry as the needle poke into the skin to make her mark, it would take it four days to complete it. Harry never woke that night, his watch painless hours of it being done.
