Hi guys! Soooo, I know we said we were going to post on Saturdays, but seeing as this Saturday is Christmas Eve we decided to post early. All characters except for our OC Kaimana belong to the fabulous J.K. Rowling. If you have any questions, comments, or constructive criticism please don't be shy! We are always happy to get feedback. Enjoy! ;)

Kaimana POV

"So… I've been thinking about your voice," Newt says, sitting cross-legged beside the pond I float in lazy circles. "I think I might be able help you get it back." He tells me, and I turn to look at him, tentative hope filling my chest. "I don't want to get your hopes up just yet," He adds quickly, "But I've been working on a solution that might help, at least a little bit."

I might be able to get my voice back! Even if it doesn't work, it is still kind of him to try. I look at him with a serious face, and point to my throat. "You want to try it anyways? Well okay, if that's what you want." He says. "It should be finished in about three days, think you can hold out that long?" He asks, and I give him a determined look. "Right, I'll let you know as soon as it's ready," Newt says, and I give him a thumbs up. I quickly dive back under the water, and swim around trying not to get too excited, but it is difficult.

A voice, oh how I'd love to be able to speak and sing again. What is a siren without her voice after all? For the past thirty years it hasn't really mattered, I didn't have anyone to talk to even if I wanted to, but now things have changed. A lot. And I wouldn't mind being able to have an actual conversation with the first friend I've made in decades. I move leisurely around the pond, thinking of everything I would say to Newt if I could. I would tell him how grateful I am for what he's done for me. I would tell him about my home, what little I can remember of it anyway. I would tell him my favorite color is yellow like tropical fish, and that my favorite food is crab legs. I'd ask him what he does when he isn't rescuing magical creatures, and what his home is like. And I would sing to him. I think he would like that.

I wonder if I should sing the lullaby mother used to sing to me. Hmm, or maybe something deeper? I'll have to ask him which he would prefer. I look around, then swim up to the ponds edge and look around. It is so beautiful here. I wonder if Newt will show me some other creatures. I wonder if they are as adorable as Pickett, although that might be hard since he is so cute! I let my thoughts wander, imagining all the strange and interesting creatures Newt might have hidden away in this mysterious brief case.

Newt POV

Basilisk venom? Or powdered unicorn horn? No, definitely dragon blood first. I scan through my stack of old potions books, searching for one that might be useful. There are dozens of healing potions that would do the trick for a wizard, or even a muggle, but sirens are different creatures entirely, and there's no telling how the potions would react with her physiology. I sigh and run my fingers through my hair. An entire library on magical creatures, and not a single one with any information on sirens. Perhaps… I shuffle several buckets of moon calf pellets to get to a large, dusty black chest. "Alohomora!" I whisper, and the chest lid flips open, revealing an incredibly old, leather bound tome. "Aha!" I lift the book out and walk back over to the table. This book should help me at least get some information on sirens.

I place the book down, and quickly scan through the pages. Hmm, it seems that sirens are more complex creatures than what I first thought. This might be harder to do than I was anticipating, but if it means giving her voice back I'm not going to give up. I should warn her though that it might be a bit longer than expected. I frown, and look towards where I can see her looking around the pond. What is she doing? Is she trying to see the other creatures from there? Kaimana has her elbows rested on the edge of the pond and is swiveling her head around, lifting herself out of the water a bit when she catches sight of the graphorns wandering over the grassy plains. A warm feeling spreads in my chest. She's interested in my creatures. I haven't met many people who liked my magical creatures, most wizards hate them, and if they do take an interest it's usually because they want to sell them. Maybe I should give her a tour. I bet she would love to meet the occamys. I wonder how I could transport her around. I get caught up in my musings, flipping idly through the old tome, as though it might hold all the answers.

Suddenly I see something that makes me freeze. How did I not know this!? Kaimanna must not know, or else she would have by now. I must tell her at once! Oh, I am so excited to see her reaction! I quickly grab the book and take off running to the pond. "Kai! Kaimana!" I shout excitedly. The siren swims over to me, looking confused and slightly alarmed. "Look what I found!" I set the book down on the grass for her to see. She looks it over, surprise and hopeful delight spreading over her face as she reads. "Did you know about this?" I ask her, and she shakes her head, beaming as she does so. "Do you want to try it?" She nods vigorously and pulls herself up and out of the water. I rush over to help her, gently wrapping my arms around her waist and moving her onto the grass.

As I'm helping her I notice I can feel more skin then I should be. I stop, and she looks at me confused. "Kaimana? Are you topless?" I ask her, and she nods looking at me like, haven't you noticed? I quickly look down, and oh my! I CAN SEE HER BREASTS and they're so bi-NO! I quickly turn beet red, and look away. "I am so sorry! I didn't even notice till now!" I sputter, and I can feel her shaking with silent laughter. This is so humiliating. How did I never notice she wasn't wearing anything!? Kaimana pats my hand reassuringly, grinning amusedly at my reaction. As soon as she is safely out of the water I release her and step away, trying desperately not to stare at her.

Kaimana tugs at the bottom of my coat, gesturing for me to sit down beside her. I reluctantly sink down to the grass, keeping my eyes fixed on my hands. A few moments later she taps my hand and I glance up to see that she covered her chest with her long hair. She raises an eyebrow as if to ask, Is this better? I smile sheepishly in response, and she grins, her eyes sparkling with mirth. "Trouble maker." I mutter.

The two of us sit for a few minutes, waiting and relaxing on the soft ground, before Kai bolts upright, string at her tail in astonishment. We watch as her lovely blue scales shimmer and begin to melt away, leaving only smooth skin behind. Her fins fade away and her tail separates into two long legs. This is amazing! She looks at her legs in shock, and gently touches them then flinches. "Do they hurt?" I ask her worried, but she shakes her head. "Feel strange?" She nods, and I get a bit closer and then notice now she is fully naked. AGAIN!? I quickly take off my jacket and place it around her making sure she is fully covered. She looks at me amusedly. I glare back at her, blushing furiously. "You have no shame." I state, and she grins.

I instruct Kaimana to sit still and wait while I find her some proper clothes. She rolls her eyes in exasperation, but nods, and I take off back to my work shop. I manage to find one of my old shirts and a long red skirt, which to be honest, I don't really know where it came from, but it should fit Kai, so. I quickly rush back to her, and give her the clothes not looking directly at her. "These should fit you. Please put them on." I beg her, and she takes the clothes from me. I quickly turn around, and listen to her rustling with the clothing. I feel a tap on my hand and when I turn to look at her my breath catches in my throat. She is one of the most gorgeous creatu-no women, I have ever seen.

"You look very nice." I tell her, and Kai beams at me. The skirt fits her perfectly, hanging down just past her knees, and the shirt I gave her is a soft blue that brings out the lighter colors in her usually stormy gray eyes. I hold out my hand to her. "Would you like a tour?" I ask. Kaimana nods and takes my hand. We start off slow at first to get her used to walking, but she seems to be a quick learner and takes to walking quicker than I thought.

Kaimanna POV

This is so amazing! I'm walking around! I have legs! I am so happy Newt found out I could do this, but I wonder why I didn't know this about my own species. Once I get the hang of it, I squeeze his hand and point to the creatures I see. "You know, if you want to you can feed the mooncalves." He says, pointing to where they are. I look at him excited and nod quickly. He grins, and hands me their food. "Just be calm, and everything should be okay." I nod once more and take the food to them. They all look at me, and I smile nervously. I gently toss them their food, watching as it floats for them to eat. Once they start eating I look at Newt proudly, and he's smiling softly with this strange look in his eyes. I tilt my head, silently asking a question, but he just shakes his head and takes my hand again. "Come on, I want to show you my occamys."
