Chapter- 14

"Excuse me?" said Maddie sounding offended, but a little nervous.

"You're a witch and I know you are! Harry told me, you're a second year in Gryffindor and a pure-blood but the nicest one Harry Potter knows!"

Maddie looked as though she was about to argue but instead, she let out a sigh.

"Lisa listen, I'm sorry I didn't tell you but I didn't know how you'd handle it! Did you say Harry Potter says I'm nice? How do you know him?"

Now it was my turn to come clean with my secrets. Maddie listened intently as I told her my imaginary friend secret. Unlike Kyara, she believe me at once.

"Mmm hmm, I've heard people talking about this at Hogwarts. Yes it's even an elective class! Maybe now I should consider taking it! Isn't it when a muggle, no offense, has a want so great to become a witch or wizard, some important witches or wizards come and befriend that certain muggle? The if the muggles tops believing in magic the witches or wizards staying with the muggle depart from their lives returning only when the muggle needs them back." Maddie stopped to take a breath, she sounded as if she was reciting this from a text book! "While the witches and wizards are gone, one of them can write a letter to the muggles explaining what has happened so far. Sometimes the letter will not reveal the words, though. Being in the magical peoples presence, the muggle can develop a talent containing magical powers. The talent can be anything from singing to saying the alphabet backwards!"

I stood in Maddie' s doorway the whole time nodding my head. Everything she just explained had happened to me, except the talent quality I obviously hadn't yet obtained. Still, one question haunted my mind.

"Are Harry, Hermione, and Ron truly real then?"

"Yes the yare, as long as you keep believing they are. Hey, I'm real aren't I?"

I laughed, "Well when you put it like that…"

Now we both laughed.

"Does Kyara know yet?" I had to ask.

"Yeah, she does. I know of had to tell her why I got to school across seas every year!" Maddie said, her old sarcastically funny self returning.

"Goodness gracious look at the time!" I said jumping up. "I'd better get going Maddie, I'm sorry!"

"That's okay, maybe you could come over again tomorrow and I could show you some spells!"

"Aren't you not supposed to use magic outside of school yet?" I asked skeptically.

"Darn it, you just had to remind me!" said Maddie. "Then again, I really don't want to be expelled or go to Azkaban."

I giggled, "Thanks, Maddie for being so honest with me."

"No problem, thank you too!"

Smiling, I walked back to my apartment, anxious to tell Hermione everything.
