Chapter 7 – So now you know.
I walked over to the bed and sat down on it, 'Hmm comfy,' I jumped up and down on it a bit getting it comfy and ruffling it up a bit.
I looked over at Hermione and patted the spot next to me as I sat on my bed cross-legged.
She walked slowly across the room and smoothed out the bed a bit for her to sit down. I rolled my eyes and thought of how I was going to explain this.
She looked at me expectantly as I looked out the window "I'm a Natural," I said looking out the window and realising I had just said exactly what I was contemplating.
"You're kidding I thought that they I didn't exist since, the last 5 centuries?" She said while counting off the years on her fingers.
"While I guess I'm just special," I said smiling at her, the smile slowly slid off my face at her expression
"Okay not good to joke about I get it, but well," I began while twiddling my thumbs together on my lap.
"Well, how did become a Natural?" She said excitedly.
I held a finger up to my chin and began explaining. "My Mother was a The Great Sorceress in the far kingdom of Tristram, and my father is just a normal wizard muggle born, I think?" I said thinking hard while scratching my chin.
"I don't think it really mattered that they where though, it was supposedly like something that was passed down in my genetic line just we've missed it a few centuries, like my mum, though as great as she was," I said looking out the window 'ah, the great battle of Arlian Meckinsites'
"Wait! Your mum was 'THE Great Sorceress of Tristram' from the long forgotten Kingdom? In Tristram!" Hermione asked getting hysterical,
I held my hands out trying to calm her down "Yes," I said rolling my eyes, everyone always reacted that way when I told them my mum was a sorceress.
"So, anyway," I began again. "I have this rare gift were I can do magical powers without my wand and learn spells, tricks generally anything really quickly," I said firming out the blanket in front of me.
"Wow" Hermione said.
I looked up at her "I understand if you don't want to be my friend or something anymore, just please don't tell anyone," I said looking down.
(When I told my 'Friends' they normally decided not to be my friend anymore and talk about me behind my back so why not end it before it starts.)
"Who said I didn't want to be your friend?" Hermione said sternly.
My head shot up and I looked at her. Her face was stern but her eyes showed humour. I jumped out from my seat and hugged her.
"Aw! This is so cool!" I said squeezing her tightly and letting go of her reluctantly.
"I can't wait, now I have my first ever study partner," She said excitedly jumping on the bed with me.
"Have you got any books on you about Hippogriffs?" I asked looking at her wide-eyed.
"We're learning it this year, of course I have the book!" She said racing over to her suitcase and pulling out a large furry book.
I leaned over my railing and reached into my suitcase and picked out my favourite book.
I put it on my bed and looked at the tattered cover, I loved it so much that it became tattered from my over reading.
I placed my hand over it and making it glow a light blue before it opened. My eyes skimmed down onto my favourite picture.
My fingers traced over the palace, I looked at the side of it reading the description.
Right: The Sorceress's Palace. Lady Jessabell K. Wikham the protector of the Kingdom lives in the first building ever built by Merlin's only apprentice. The Palace has since been left as a sanctuary to those who once worshipped the Arlian Sanctuary, which was left in pieces after the battle of Clawvipers.
The Sorceress has now passed on. It is told that she before death bared a child, though the child is unknown.
My fingers traced a picture of her.
"Kimmy? Is that your mum?" Hermione said, I blinked my eyes and turned to my right and saw the book in her hands.
I flicked my fingers and a pile of my old books appeared on my bed. I looked at Hermione who looked like Christmas had come early. "Help yourself, I've already read all of them at least five times," I said with a smile.
She grabbed almost all of the books and stacked them by her bed, she sat down and opened a book before realisation dawned on her.
"I have to unpack," She said glumly while beginning to close the book. I looked at her and smiled.
I clicked my fingers "I hope you don't mind that I organized it by colour, shape, size and article." I said looking at her with a smirk on my lips.
She jumped off the bed and gave me a hug, which caught me by surprise. I hugged back before she ran to get changed into her Pyjama's and jumping into bed. I feeling as lazy as I did clicked my fingers and changed into a tank top and my trouser Pj's.
Hermione rolled her eyes as I poked my tongue out at her, before I remembered something. "Hey Hermione?" I said carefully,
"Yes, I promise not to tell anyone without your consent, yet I hope you that you will be careful when using your powers in front of Harry, he's pretty smart at these things," She said not looking up from the book.
My jaw at some point had dropped. I licked my lips and reattached my jaw before answering "Yes Hermione," I said slumping over to the door. "I'm going on a walk, I'll be back before curfew, promise," I said crossing my fingers behind my back. I walked out the door before closing t I heard Hermione call out "I saw that!"
'I hope she doesn't tell Ron or Harry, or I'm screwed.' I thought walking down the stairs to the common room.
AN: okay guys, hope you guys like it, a little explanation.
Tristram is like as the title earlier called it Far kingdom, so it's an old wizarding community in the late centuries.
It's still there but has no location on a map so most people who venture out to find it never return so we don't really know if they did find it.
Also Meckinsites? They're just some random creature I made up, just imagine a hunched over goblin/ boar.
Also thanks for everyone who has reviewed it really helps to have some encouragement to finish this.
Sorry that this is shorter than normal. Promise the next one will be longer though. :D
