Chapter Four – The History

"This girl is rather odd." Dumbledore sighed.

After having taken the girl to the hospital wing they were all talking in Dumbledores office once again. Harry had left saying that he had enough of meetings and wanted spend some time outside in the sun.

Prof. Snape had been rather quite since the girl had been brought back up to the office of Dumbledore where she had collapsed. Snape finally realising that the situation needed to be sorted out as doon as possible to prevent further problems turned from his stance at the window where he had been looking at the lake.

"You would act odder if you had been through what she has." Snape said without out any sneer or malice.

"And how do you know this?" Sirius asked with loathing and a bit of curiosity.

"Because I was there when she was captured and taken to the Dark Lord." Snape replied.

"I think Severus it would help if you tell us what is all going on and what has been going on." Dumbledore suggested.

Snape sighed and slowly began to tell his story.

' It starts about 15 years ago. You all know at that that Voldemort was gaining power and that everyone lived in total and utter fear. What you didn't know was that Voldemort's only advantage during those years was because of a witch. A seeing witch. A very powerful witch. I believe Kyra was her name and she was at Voldmorts side during all of it. She would predict what the people he wished to kill would do when they were in danger or where they were hiding. But one day instead of going into her normal trance she went deeper and she spoke of the destruction of Voldemort. He tortured her because she spoke of it, but what angered him the most was that the people who were meant to destroy him weren't people but person. A girl. So he asked for the name of the child and ordered her killed. Things become rather blurring at this part of the story because no one is entirely sure what happened. Voldemort set out to kill the girl and her family but before he left Kyra told him that he would fail because she would not fight him alone but with another when he was to be defeated. That of course made Voldemort more enraged and he attacked this family with a rage none had seen before. The family was killed or so everyone was led to believe. But those who had been at the attack came back looking shocked and astounded. I did not know that the attack had failed until I had been to Lucius Malfoys house recently. There was a girl in his dungeons who matched Kyra's description to the letter. What I do not undestand is how the attack failed. He had taken a group of his most trusted DeathEaters and none spoke of the attack again. Though the group came back rather drained of energy.'

Snape ended his story with a sigh.

"There aren't many details in that story is there?" Sirius asked sarcastically.

"No one is allowed to speak of Kyra or any of the stories concerning her." Snape snapped back, getting very defensive again.

"If the girl was at the Malfoy mansion. How on earth did she get out?" Sirius asked.

"I do not know that but I'm glad that she is out. Malfoy does not treat prisoners very well, especially female ones."

"We will have to wait and learn to see what shall happen." Dumbledore said and with that sentence the gathering was over.

Snape walked out the door with his robes bellowing around him and Sirius stood there for a minute and then he to left the room.

Harry had been walking around outside for hours now and he still had not calmed down or stopped thinking about Laura. Where had he seen her before? He felt like he knew her from somewhere. The other thing that he couldn't stop thinking about was going to live with Sirius. He should be really happy but all he could feel was terrified. How was he suppose to act around Sirius and what was he suppose to say? He knew that he'd been rather cold to Sirius lately and his moods had been changing like the speed of light. But all he could think of was how he was to blame for so many deaths already. First his parents and the Cedric. He couldn't get close to Sirius or anyone else for that matter. It would put everyone in to much danger. That's why he hadn't even bothered to read the letter his friends had sent him but had immediately torn them up and thrown them away. It hurt him to be so cruel to them but it was for the better. Rather hurt than dead. Harry heard footsteps coming up behind him and he turned to look and saw that Sirius was walking towards him. Sirius walked up to Harry and gave him a half grin.

"So you ready to go see the house?" Sirius asked.

"Umm yeah sure." Harry replied getting more nervous than he'd been before.

A thought crossed his mind suddenly.

"What's going to happen to Laura?" Harry asked.

"Umm well I think she's going to stay here at the castle until we can find more about her past."

Harry nodded and started walking towards the castle with Sirius next to him.

"How are we getting to the house?"

"Oh we're going by Floo Powder." Sirius replied

Harry nodded again and carried on walking along Sirius in silence. They finally reached the castle and walked up to Dumbledore's office to use his fire to leave.

Dumbledore looked up from his desk but when he saw who it was he waved his hand towards the fire place and going back to the large book on his desk. Just before Harry walked through the flames he saw the title of one of the books.

Blood Lines and Magic That Goes With Them.

Harry landed flat on his face which wasn't really to unusual. Looking around he noticed that the house wasn't really a house but it looked more like a manor of sorts and standing in the doorway was Remus Lupin looking rather amused.

Laura blinked and slowly looked around her. It looked like a hospital but it seemed to comfy to actually be one. She slowly sat up and swung her legs off the side of the bed. With that done she slowly lowered her feet to the floor and stood up straight. Slowly getting the feeling back in her legs she walked out the hospital ward and started to explore.
