Hey!! Thanks for the reviews! Okay the last chapter was kind of short but
I will try to make up for that in this chapter ((keep in mind this is my
first fan-fic and I'm not the best writer!))

Chapter 2 The Gift
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*Kyara slowly opened the doors and walked in*
"Hello," She mumbled.
Dumbledore stood up, "How may we help you?"
"Well, um. My name is Kyara and I got lost in the woods when I was camping with my family and, you'll probably think I'm crazy but these animals, they looked like a horse with a man's upper half attached to them, attacked me and my parents. They killed my mum and dad but I got away, I was hoping you could help me."
"I'm sure we can," Dumbledore said warmly, "How old are you?"
"I'm 15; I'll be 16 in December."
"Alright, Ms. Granger, come here please."
A girl with big brow bushy hair walked up to Professor Dumbledore and he whispered something in her ear. She then walked over to Kyara, stuck out her hand and said, "Hey, my name is Hermione. Follow me and we'll get some food in you, after that I'll show you where you'll be sleeping."
Hermione led Kyara over to a long table to the left. She sat down next to a boy with bright red hair and motioned for her to sit next to a boy with jet black hair.
"Kyara, this is Ron," Kyara shook hands with the red headed boy, "and this is Harry," she shook hands with the black headed boy, his eyes were stunningly green, she noticed.
Hermione handed Kyara a plate with food on it, "Eat up! You look like you need it."
Half way into dinner Kyara noticed Harry starring at her; she turned, caught his eye and winked. He turned red and looked down.
"So Kyara, where are you from?" Hermione asked.
"Houston, Texas." Kyara said proudly.
"Houston, Texas? Where is that?" Ron said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Oh, it's in the U.S.A."
"I've heard of Texas, isn't it one of the biggest states?" Harry asked.
"Yes," Kyara said with just as much pride.
After dinner Hermione, Ron, and Harry led Kyara through the castle and up 7 flights of stairs. They reached a portrait of a fat lady in a red dress and Hermione said, "Anachronism, that's the password."
"You may enter," Said the fat lady.
Harry, Ron and Hermione headed in but all Kyara could do was stand there and stare at the picture, did the picture just talk? I must be crazy. She shook her head and walked through the opening.
Once she got inside she took a good look around, the round room was big; it had comfy looking chairs and a big fire burning in the hearth. There were two spiral staircases on opposite sides of the room and there was a big red carpet on the floor.
Hermione pointed to one of the staircases, "Up there is the girls' dormitories," she pointed to the other staircase, "and up there is the boys' dormitories. You're not allowed in the boys' dormitories no matter what." Harry let out a snort. Hermione glared at him, "And the boys are not allowed in the girls dormitories. You have to be in the common room before 10:00 every night and no sneaking out." At that Harry and Ron burst out laughing.
"Oh come on Hermione! Listen if you want to sneak out get Harry here and his invisibility cloak and then you can go anywhere you want, Hermione is always sneaking into the boys' dormitories so don't mind that rule either. There are only two rules here, one, be careful when breaking rules. Two, don't piss Snape off." Ron said grinning.
"Who is Snape?" Kyara asked.
"Do you remember that creepy pale black haired teacher sitting next to Dumbledore?" Ron asked.
Kyara nodded.
"That was Snape, the potions master."
Harry shivered, "He reminds me of a vampire."
"So Kyara, which magic school do you go to?" Hermione asked.
"Um. I don't go to a... magic school; I go to a normal school."
Hermione dropped her books. "You mean you're a muggle?!? Why didn't you tell us! How did you get in here? This place is supposed to muggle proof!"
"Hermione calm down," Harry said, "let's just take Kyara to Dumbledore; maybe she's got some magic in her so the couldn't stop her."
When they finally reached Dumbledore's office Harry said the password (Milk Duds) and they walked up the stairs and into the office. Kyara waited outside.
"Professor, she's not a witch! She's a muggle, how did she get here?" Hermione said.
"Tell her to come in." Dumbledore said.
Harry opened the door and beckoned for Kyara to come in.
"Kyara, I want you to come here."
When she hesitated Harry put a hand on her shoulder, "It's alright, he won't hurt you."
She slowly stepped forward and sat down in a chair in front of his desk.
"Here, take this wand and give it a little flick."
When Kyara did a small spark came out of the end, "What was that?" she said, surprised.
"Hmm. alright, give me back the wand and just try holding out your hands and pushing all your thought into making light shine on your hands. Go on,"
She held out her hands and Hermione, Harry, and Ron gasped as a bright ball of dark blue light appeared in her hands.
"Ah. so you have the gift."
