A week had passed, the best week I'd ever known. Cissy and I played some Quidditch. We were limited with the two of us, so we just practice trying to throw the large balls into the hoops and blocking. Tally never wanted to join us. She was too busy with her own life to hang out with us to often. I had gotten pretty good; I wouldn't say I was the best.

Cissy took me in London to buy some new clothes. She said that I should at least have more than two options of clothes to wear. She taught me an interesting trick. The coins in the wizarding world are worth a lot more in the muggle world. She took one of the bronze coins to a pawn shop. She claimed it was a great to get some much needed cash; her parents did it most of the time.

We spent the day shopping, eating, and just goofing off. She bought a small throw away camera. We took several pictures. It didn't bother either one of us that the pictures would appear like muggle pictures because it wasn't a special wizarding camera. She showed most of the sights in London. I got a better look at Big Ben. We also tried to make the guards, which stand in front of the palace, move.

Later that night we were just sitting up talking. We had a glass jar with a small ball of yellow light inside of it. It was something she had brought from Diagon Alley ages ago. We had the rest of the candy we brought hidden in the room, and were snacking on them. We we're fine just so long as Cissy's parent's didn't catch us.

"I can't believe he would say such a thing," Cissy replied in disgust and surprise. "I mean calling you a mudblood, that asshole."

"I don't get how it's bad though," I told her honestly. "

Cissy sighed", well it might be a little hard to explain. Basically it means dirty blood. Another words, because of your bloodline your not worthy enough to be near him."

"Oh," was all I could respond with.

"You're not insulted?" Cissy asked curiously. "Are you feeling all right?"

I giggled slightly and shook my head. "It's not that bad to me, I've heard worse. Besides if he really meant it then he wouldn't be sending me letters."

"If you say so," Cissy muttered", you know you a very nutty person." She eat some of her candy bar. She finished chewing and swallowed and then stared at me. "You like him, don't you?"

"What?" I remarked amazed she would ask such a question. "Me like Draco, yea right. What makes you think something like that? Besides that he is a Slytherian and I am a Gryffindorian, what kind of a match would that be I mean honestly?"

"Sounds dangerous," she responded.

"Quiet you."

We giggled about until a scratching sound at the window stopped us. Cissy stood up and walked over to her small window. She struggled to open it without making to much noise. An owl flew in with a letter and a mirror in its mouth. The owl dropped the letter and mirror on her bed and flew back out the window.

Cissy walked over towards her bed and opened the letter. "It's from Rema. She says this was a gift from her cousin. Hm, it says look into the mirror."

She shrugged her shoulders and refolded the envelope. I stood up and walked over towards her. Cissy lifted the mirror and stared into it. I placed my head on top of her shoulder to get a better look.

"Hello," Rema said suddenly appearing in the mirror.

We both jumped back a bit.

"Don't freak out," Rema said quickly. "My cousin made these. He wanted us to try them out first. If they are truly successful then he can start selling them."

"Makes perfect sense," I said.

"Marina," Rema said surprised", I didn't know you were there."

"Yea," I responded", I've been here nearly a week now."

"No matter, I'm sure the bird I sent out with your mirror will find you eventually. I told him to give it to no one else but you," she informed me.

"That's comforting," I said.

"What are we going to do with these?" Cissy asked abruptly.

"Well," Rema began", this can be our secret way of communication. We can get in contact, and tell when to meet in the room. In the back of the mirror there are letters engraved into the back. If you trace a letter with your wand, it'll allow you to have a private conversation with the person whose name begins with the letter."

"So, if I trace the letter C, it'll connect me with Cissy's mirror only?" I asked.

Rema nodded.

"Sound simple enough," Cissy said. "Who else is getting one?"

"Henry, John, and I'm giving one to Jean," Rema said. Cissy rolled her eyes.

"What about Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle?" I asked.

Rema paused then answered", if they still want to be friends with us then yea, I'll send them one. I sent them a letters a few days ago, so we'll see what happens."

"Rema," I began", can I ask you something. When I was in the orphanage I was able to do magic and I didn't get in trouble."

"You did what?" Rema asked me astonished."There is no way you could have been doing magic. You'd be expelled by now."

"That's why I want to find out why," I told her firmly.

"Well," Rema said with a sigh", I'll see if I come across anything. If you really are daring you could ask Dumbledore."

"Then I'd be expelled for sure," I responded.

"I'm sure we'll find out eventually. I have to go now. Let me know when you get your mirror Marina. Good night," Rema said.

"G'night," Cissy said.

"Good night," I responded.

The mirror suddenly turned back into Cissy's reflection. "That's pretty cool isn't it?"

"Yea," I said", very."

The owl arrived a few minutes later with my mirror. We had fun testing it out. I snuck into the kitchen and traced the letter C. It worked; I was able to talk to Cissy. I got some cans of soda out of the fridge and went back to her room. We eventually fell asleep.

I awoke the next morning. I heard the shower water running, and knew Cissy was taking her morning shower. I yawned and stretched out my limbs. I stood up and walked towards Cissy's desk. I saw a paper that had fallen onto the ground. I bent down to pick it up. It was a drawling of some strange creatures.

I wasn't sure if they were real or imaginary. They had bee sketched from pencil. Their bodies were nearly skeletal, but they had two strong hind legs, and two short fore arms that curled slightly. It had large wings that could wrap around its entire body. The page was labeled 'Chalsers' by Cissy Portello, part Cissy's secret drawlings.

"Secret eh," I muttered to myself.

When I heard the shower turn off, I quickly placed the paper back where I found it. I made sure that Cissy wouldn't know that I had seen it. If it was secret then she'd be pissed if she knew I saw it. I turned on the small television and sat down on her bed. Cissy walked inside wearing a shirt and jeans, a towel was in her hands.

"Just woke up?" Cissy asked a bit sleeply.

"Yea," I told her", a few minutes ago."

Cissy shrugged her shoulders", the showers ready for you."

"Thanks," I replied and got up to take my shower.
