"Oji-chaaan!" Kitsune wined and clung onto the man's robes "Why did you leave ne?"

Severus sighed and patted the half-kitsune on the head "It was for your own good, Kitsune... The Mahou Yukuza was after me becase of my past. If they had found out about your mother and you you would hav been killed."

Kitsune wiped at the tears from sprkling gold eyes that now had streaks of blue in them. "As, so desu ka..." she sniffed gently. "Gomen nasai, Oji-chan... gomen..." She let go of his robes to go cling onto Ron once more.

"Ho ho... Well, this is very interesting" chuckled Dumbledore placing his hands together on the desk "you never told me about this particuler part of your life, Severus."

Severus flicked back his short black hair that had fallen across his emerald eyes. "I didnt think you should know... I wanted to leave it behind."

Kitsune gave a small cry and buried her face into Ron's chest.

"I didnt meant it like that, Kitsune" apologsed the man. "I am glad you're here now."

"Really?" Kitsune's eyes had melted into a depressed blue.

Her uncle nodded.

"Ah, Professors Dumbledore. The reason we came up here is because we don't know what to do about her. Should we enrol her into Hogswarts?" asked Ron whilst reassuring Kitsune everything was okay. "Though she had some trouble on the train and I dont think she would be accepted very easy."

Dumbledore looked worried "Well that is a problem, isn't it?"

Kitsune's eyes flashed back to gold "Ano... I have a idea Dumbledore-sensei. I can hide myself with my magic."

"Kitsune have very powerful illusion magic," the old man mused. "It could be useful in a stiuation such as this. Could you show us?"

The pink-haired girl nodded. "Hai! I can try!" She placed her hands together and golden petals swirled up from the ground. Kitsune's pink hair turned a deep red and the streaks changed to dazzling gold. Her new springy hair instantly tied itself up into three long braids with green bows. She grew a little taller in height, and her slightly scrawny figure filled out. Lastly, her eyes changed to a bright green like sunshine through a leaf. Her clothes shifted and melted themselves into a black v-neck top with one long kimino-like sleeve and gold ribbons hanging off it. A knee-length white frilly skirt appeared as well with black lace sewn around the edges. On her feet, a hair of black and gold high heels matarialised.

Kitsune wobbled on the new shoes and grabbed onto Ron to keep balance though she fell to her knees "Itae..." she whimpered.

Ron helped her back up "I think you need more practise Kitsune-chan but you look stunning... like always."

"Hai! Arigato..." she blushed and smiled at him.

Dumbledore looked the human-seeming girl up and down "That is much better. Apart from one thing I am afraid."

"Ano... nani desu ka?" Kitsune blinked.

The old man chuckled again "Two, actually. My mistake. You have trouble speaking English still, yes?"

"Hai?" Kitsune nodded slowly.

Dumbledore mumbled a spell under his breath and tapped the girl on the forehead.

"Ow, whaqt was that for?" she asked, rubbing her forehead. She gasped and covered her mouth for a moment. "I-I spoke English!"

The Headmaster gave her a wrinkled smile. "That will make things much easier for you to get around."

Professor Snape nodded hes approval.

Kitsune grinned. "Thank you! Ah... what was the second thing you meant?"

"I think I know," Ron interrupted, "its Kitsune's name, isn't it?"

"My name? But I like my name!" exclaimed the now-burgandy haired girl. She sighed. "Well, can I let Ron pick it then?"

"I dont see why not" agredd Dumbledore with a nod. He looked at Ron expectently.

"Me? But, uh..." Ron scratched the back of his head. "lets see then... Aisha... no... Ebony... no... Farrah... Le... That's it! Leanna!" he grinned at Kitsune. "You can be Leanna Mizell Pelham. How about that?"

Kitsune thought for a moment before smiling. "I love it! Okay, my name is Leanna then! I'll say I transferred from another country... America?"

"That would be fine." Nodded Snape. "However, Kitsune, I believe there is one more problem, and that is your relationship with Mr Weasely. It would be too suspicious, so you will have to keep away from him for a while. On top of that... your appearence is questioneble."

Kitsune... or Leanna as it was now, hugged Ron's arm. "I like your hair that way."

"That's okay, I'll just have to grow it out myself then." Ron patted her on the head as she frowned. She waved a hand over Ron's head and dispelled the magic, changing Ron back to his normal self. She pouted until he reassured her again.

"Well, it is almost time for the ceremony to begun. Ki... Leanna, Mr Weasley, I will have to talk to you later." Dumbledore glanced over at Severus. "Inform Poppy that that we will need to hand out a few memory charms."

As the doors to Dumbledore's office closed and the stairs descended with Ron and Kitsune on them, Ron noticed the girl looked sad.

"Whats wrong?" he asked, holding her hand.

"I'm sorry I've caused you so much truble!" she cried. "It's just that I dont know how to how to act in this new place and I am scared! I don't want to not be able to see you!"

"Its okay," Ron hugged her. "We'll just have to try and be more secretive about it."

Kitsune smiled slightly. "Thank you..."
