Arriving back in the Room of Requirement, Kairos cast a quick tempus to check the time. As she did so, she felt a growl coming from her stomach. Frowning hungrily, Kairos called out for Dobby. With a pop, Dobby appeared.

"What can Dobby do for the great Hebe?"

"It's Kairos now. Can you bring me some food and don't tell anyone I'm here please."

"Of course the great Kairos!"

Dobby popped away before reappearing with a large picnic basket. Opening it up, Kairos was delighted to see her favourite treacle tart inside. Smiling happily, Kairos devoured the contents of the picnic basket-stopping to leave aside a few dishes for Caligine and her new Familiar.

Once she was done with her meal, Kairos looked towards Caligine and her new Familiar. What to call him? Staring hard at him, Kairos pondered.

Child, your Familiar is beginning to wake from the stasis spell cast over him.

"Huh?"

The wolf pup stirred before opening his eyes and looking around. Upon seeing Caligine and Kairos, he let out a wave of lighting that caused Caligine's and Kairos' hair to stand on their ends. Looking up at Kairos, the wolf pup whimpered before even more sparks began rising from his body.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

This is bad. Kairos, your Familiar is seriously just a pup!

"What the fuck am I supposed to do!"

Kairos breathed in and out deeply as she watched the electricity build up on her Familiar. Trying her best to calm down, Kairos smiled warmly at her distressed Familiar.

"It's okay Raiden, you didn't do anything wrong."
Raiden? Where did that come from?

"I have no idea. It just popped into my mind. But it fits. Raiden the Japanese god of thunder and lightning."

Mama?

"What!?"

He probably thinks of you as his mother since you're like one of the first things he has seen.

"You've got to be kidding me…"

Unfortunately, no.

Mama! Mama! Mama!

"It's okay? Raiden… Damn, feel awkward..."

Burying her head in her hands, Kairos looked for the cup of milk that she had set aside for Raiden and Caligine earlier. Passing it to Raiden, she watched as he lapped it down eagerly.

Mama good!

"Oh gods…"

Sighing tiredly, Kairos suddenly remembered her letter. Shit! She had forgotten to send it. Glaring at the letter in her hand, Kairos scowled. What to do… What to do…

You do know there is a spell for sending letters…

"There is?"

Of course there is! What do they teach children nowadays? Simply place your wand to your letter before saying the enchantment 'Transdo' and then add the name of the person you hope to send it too behind. As you do so, simply think of all the details you know about that person.

"Got it. Thanks." Taking her wand out, Kairos placed it on the letter before intoning 'Transdo Salene Domani'. Once the incantation was done, the letter disappeared.

Nodding, Kairos proceeded to stand up. It was time for bed. Picking up Raiden, Kairos headed off to the conveniently appearing bed to sleep.


The next morning, when Kairos woke up, she spotted a letter floating in the air besides her. Reaching out groggily, she grabbed it and began reading it.

Folding the letter back up after ticking her chosen subjects, Kairos placed it in her pocket. Gazing at Raiden, Kairos began stroking his fur.

Mama…

Lying back into the bed, Kairos stared at the ceiling before getting out. Taking her invisibility from her trunk, Kairos crept out of the Room of Requirement and headed to the owlery. Upon reaching the owlery, Kairos looked around for Hedwig. Upon spotting a flash of white, Kairos made her way to Hedwig.

"Hey Hedwig. I'm going to have to let you go."

Hedwig hooted softly as in asking why.

"Why? Well, I-I can't stay in Hogwarts anymore. It no longer feels like home ya know. So I'm going to try and switch schools. I've got one in mind and I've been accepted. I wish I could have you but… you'll be too recognisable. Maybe, one day, when it's all over, we can be together again? So Hedwig, fly free please."

Hedwig crooned softly at Kairos before swooping down to land on Kairos hair. Flapping her wings softly, Hedwig took off into the air while letting out a single hoot.

As she saw Hedwig grew smaller and smaller in the sky, Kairos smile dropped. Collapsing onto the ground, Kairos began to cry for the loss of her first friend. Sobbing into her arms, Kairos had never hated herself so much in her life. Why did she end Hedwig away? What a fool she had been!

Something cold nuzzled her hand. Looking down, Kairos noticed Raiden.

Mama sad?

Kairos wanted to rage at Raiden. To scream at him that, yes, she was sad. But she simply quirked one side of her mouth before petting Raiden on his head.

"Yeah, I'm sad. Why are you here?"

Mama was sad!

"Yeah, I am. I'm such a fool right? A pathetic coward. Running away from my problems… Ha!"

Mama?

"Yeah?"

Raiden seemed to manipulate the air around him to float into the air. Landing on her head, he jumped off before presenting a white feather to her. Hedwig's feather… But why? Hedwig was notoriously picky about her feathers. She would always take her feathers that dropped out and hide them somewhere. Then why did she pluck out one of her feathers and give it to me?

Mama! Pwetty thing have magic!

Looking at the feather closely, Kairos noticed that the feather was slowly turning silver. Letting it rest on her palm, Kairos realised that the feather was pointing in the direction Hedwig had flown off into. So the feather will help me locate you.

"Hedwig, I swear. When this is all over. I will find you."

The feather seemed to glow brighter as in response.


Sorry for the short chapter... This was like the perfect place to end off! You agree right? Anyway thanks everyone for the reviews! Continue to review for more updates. I'm not those authors who go 5 reviews for next chapter. It's just that reviews inspire me to write the next chapter faster.

Oh yeah, shameless advertising time.

Read my other stories! You'll like them... I hope. XD
