"Hello dear."
Serenity looked up from her table to Remus as she looked back down at her simple dinner...Well more like attempting to eat dinner. It had been two weeks since the dead of Thomas. He was buried at a simple cemetery near the orphanage as the ministry wiped out the memory of the fire and repaired the building before anyone could notice. Serenity's mind wandered back,
Serenity sat with Valiant for three days in front of Thomas' grave, grieving for her brother.
"You promised we would still be a family…How can we be a family if you aren't here?"
Valiant laid in front of the tomb, sad that his friend was gone as well as concerned of his Mistress' wellbeing. On the third day was when Remus dragged her away from the grave.
Bobby was sent to a mental asylum where it seemed that Bobby had some genetic mental problems that now he was getting treatment for. They found a notebook that Bobby wrote in at the orphanage and apparently he had a lot of hate for Serenity and Thomas.
The doctor asked Bobby, "Why? They were good kids."
"The girl…She sees things, terrible things…A-and the boy helps her!"
"What do you mean?"
"She draws things and says weird little stories. She is evil, unnatural! And that guy was always guarding her! I needed to kill them before they spread their evil to the rest of the world…Witch, witch, witch!"
Bobby murmured in a straitjacket, looking around with wild eyes. Serenity stood silently behind the one way glass as she heard the testament. After that Serenity went back to the orphanage and the sisters were still mourning for Thomas' death. Apparently the ministry made a story that Thomas died from a hit and run when he went out to do an errand.
Her mind came back as Remus sat across from her. They sat in a small pub in London, where she rented a room above the pub. She got the money from Dumbledore as he told her it was from the savings that her parents left her.
"Why are you here?"
Remus gave a sad look that made Serenity realize how harsh she sounded as she said softly,
"I'm sorry...It's nice to see you Remus...But really why are you here?"
"Dumbledore called me..."
She didn't say anything as she slowly placed her spoon down. She had a simple tomato soup with a grilled cheese sandwich but haven't even taken a sip or even nibble of anything.
"Oh?"
"It's time to go back. School has already started and they're waiting for you."
"...Who?"
"Teachers, Madam Pomfrey, your friends...especially Harry and Sirius."
"Remus...I can't..."
"How much longer though?"
Remus urged but she could only look up at him as she said in a soft tone, but it felt like harsh blow,
"As long as you've grieved for Lily and James Potter...For my parents."
He stared at her as she saw a hint of pain appear in his eyes as she felt the guilt back in her heart as she gave a sigh.
"I'm sorry...I-"
"I understand but dear...You can't stay in the past forever, or else you will always suffer…I would know"
She nodded as they changed the subject and talked about classes and a bit about Harry. Apparently Harry got a mysterious Firebolt, but no one knows who sent it to me. Of course Serenity had a pretty good idea. Remus also said he noticed that Harry and Ron weren't talking to Hermione as much as before. It seemed that the trio turned into a duo. Remus mentioned the fact that Harry wanted to produce a patronus charm.
"It isn't easy…"
"Mhm."
Serenity noticed Remus looking sicker than ever as she suggests,
"Why don't you go home? Seems like the moon is really taking a toll on you."
He nodded his head as he got up as she stood as well and gave him a hug before he left. She sat back down and her food was cold. She raised her hand to ask someone to warm up her food but she heard someone behind her.
"Let me."
She suddenly saw steam appear from her food as if it just came out of the kitchen. She touched the bowl to feel it hot. She turned to see a man with bright cat like eyes with a handsome face. He wore a neon dress shirt with a tailored jacket over with, matched with a glittery belt and bright pink pants.
He stood up and casual walked and sat were Remus was as he gave a smile,
"Sorry, I was bored and it seems like you were a bit lonely."
She perked one eyebrow as she saw a glass of wine appear in his hand as he gave a grin.
"Don't worry, I'm not going to get in trouble by your 'ministry of magic'."
"I wasn't going to ask that Mr. Cheshire Cat."
"What were you going to ask Miss Mood and Gloom?"
She couldn't help but smile as she replied,
"Thanks for warming up my food."
"No problem my dear and my what lovely eyes you have." The man grinned as she gave a smile back,
"Thank you, but I'm sure you want something from me."
"My my, isn't someone a bit touchy."
"I've been having a rough time."
"Oh is it that time of the month?"
She couldn't help but smirk as she took a tip of her soup and looked back at the man,
"My name is Serenity...Serenity Alice Aragon, yours?"
"Bane...Magnus Bane, the great warlock of Brooklyn."
"Pleasure to meet you Magnus, so what brings you here to little old England."
"Just reliving some old memories, you? Apparently you should been in school at the great Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
"I'm try to heal from some bad memories."
"You should listen to your friend then and not dwell too much. Especially when time pass, it gets better." He gave what looked to be a sincere smile as she nodded her head.
"Thank you...But you seem to be interested in something the fact you keep on trying to dip into my head."
He looked at her with a bit of surprise as he leaned back in his seat. She had noticed him trying to get pass her mental walls to find a bit more about her but she wasn't going to give in.
"Ah, clever for someone so young, sixteen I assume?"
"Fourteen but I look mature for my age."
"You act like it as well...Now you got me really curious…"
"Why? Because you can't get pass my mental walls?"
She said as she leaned back as well as she took a sip of her water as she saw a glint of amusement in his eyes.
"No, the fact the the great Dumbledore is wanting you back at your precious school so badly."
The sat quietly staring at each other with smiles as they both laughed a bit. After they laughed a bit Serenity couldn't help but smile,
"You really are a tricky man, Magnus."
"You are quite a daring girl, Serenity."
"How about this for a dare...I have thirty second to look into your mind and I give you the same in mind. So you can stop trying to poke yourself in."
He looked at her as he suddenly gives a low chuckle.
"Fine, Ladies first."
Serenity slowly takes out her wand as she points it at Magnus and says,
"Legilimency."
Suddenly she peers into memories and fragments that seem too real to be fake, those of historical value. Some were about his previous lover, a vampire to memories something about Shadowhunters. She looked as much as she could and came back out before her time was up.
"...Quite a long time you've lived."
"No stalling, now it's my turn."
She stared as she felt him enter her mind with no incantation as she could feel him dig into her memories of Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, friends, new family, the death, and the one thing that haunts her every day are her visions. He peered into as much as he could as she says,
"Time's up."
She saw him open his eyes and could see he was a bit tired from all that he saw. She could see a smile appear on his lips like a cat as he says,
"A seer...Rare gift for a little witch."
"You look quite young to be a wizard."
"Warlock, there is a big difference, something they don't teach that much in your petty little school."
He moved his finger back at forth as he smiles again. She couldn't help but smile as well as she felt relaxed with him though she felt like she should be sad about Thomas.
"You shouldn't dwell too much of else when you leave this world and reunite with your so called brother he'll probably whack you instead."
Serenity looked at her food and suddenly lost her appetite.
"...You're right…"
"I always am."
She scoffed but she looked up at the man and he knew she was just joking. He was probably the first out many to help her move on about Thomas. She was about to say something until she felt a tug inside her head.
"You say you're curious about me being a seer? Well I'll give you a small taste of what it's like."
She looked at Magnus as she slowly felt her vision being pulled away to a different time, while feeling Magnus next to her, watching the vision.
"Now for this spell you must clear your mind and release the pressure of your hands and image gentle light." Magnus said as Serenity did what he had instructed. She slowly felt something on her palms to see a gentle white light. Magnus moved his hand in front of her with a large gash on it as she gently took his hand. The light glowed and slowly faded as the wound was gone.
"Nicely done."
Serenity gave Magnus a hug before hearing a doorbell.
"Oh the guests have arrived, time to get the party started."
"I swear one of these days you will stop throwing these ridiculous parties."
Serenity came back and looked around to find herself back at the pub in the corner where no one could really see her or Magnus. Magnus looked back at her with a smile that went to ear to ear as she stared back at him.
"What?"
"You were at my home in New York...Interesting…"
"Well for a Seer a vision could or or not come true, it depends."
"How about we make it happen?"
Serenity was drinking some water when she heard then suddenly chokes on it,
"Ak!-Excuse me?"
"Well I can teach you a few things and you teach me a few tricks as well, fair trade?"
"I need to stay here though, I need to do things to protect my f-"
"I understand that's why I will teach you as much as I can and you can come in and out as much as you want."
"...There's a catch isn't there…"
"Ah yes...There is a small price…"
"And that is?"
"...Your little ministry can't find out about you and what you're doing. Especially they cannot find out about me so...There is only one solution." He said as he looked down at his glass while Serenity leaned in a bit closer.
"What? Give up magic?" She stared at him as the color of her iris' returned back to normal as his brilliant bright yellow eyes stared back at hers.
"No, of course not...It's like the old saying of an ancient language long ago...Valar Morghulis...All men must die, and what you must do is the same...You must die."
