As the sky outside continued to darken under the oncoming storm, Kiara settled in with her unending cup of cocoa settled between her hands. She looked around at her listeners and took a sip from her cup then settled it back down quietly on the table before her just as a cloud passed in front of the sun, casting a shadow across her face.
“My name is Kiara Maul, daughter to Aurora Maul and Lord Voldemort. I am twin sister to Harry Potter and half sister to Sebastian Riddle.” She started her story, her emerald eyes catching a flash of light from the sky and reflecting back in a reddish glow that underlined the emerald put forth in their natural state. “Harry and I grew up apart from one another, my mother forced to separate us and to give up one to another family to take into their home. That, of course as you know, would be the Potters.” She continued, knowing all knew of Harry’s supposed background, but how much they really knew about her brother, was undecided as only a handful of people knew the truth, but now, it would seem a handful more, were about to find it.
“Our mother worked at the Ministry during Voldemorts’ first reign of terror, she had been taken, and had any number of horrid things done to her, the end resulting in myself and Harry.” She told them as another thunderclap echoed through the storm that now totally consumed the outdoors. “Voldemort knew she was to have a child, but what he wasn’t aware of, was the fact that there had been twins, or, that was what the Ministry had hoped, I know differently though.” She moved on, her voice still quiet and steady as she moved on. “My mother and myself were moved far away to live in the States. We where put under the close watch of a man named Garion, a great Sorcerer, who lived on an Island known only as the Isle of the Winds.” She smiled at the memories she had for that place. “I could say that my youth was easy, but it wasn’t, I had become a student of the art of Sorcery.” She winked at the boys in turn. “Most consider Sorcery and Witch Craft to be the same, though they are wrong. Witches and wizards need a wand to focus their magic, a Sorcerer does not.” She explained in short at the usual comments she’d often get to her separation of the two. “This is also where I would meet my half brother Sebastian, though at the time, I would have no clue as to who he was. This was also, the time I would end up killing my half brother Sebastian, something I had not known was planned from the beginning. But that, is later in the story.” She moved on quickly. “At any rate, it was during my 15th year that my mother was recalled by the Ministry to begin work again, what with Voldemorts power once again growing, she was needed. It was Dumbledore who decided then that I would join Hogwarts and become what others would think to be a transfer from the states, this is when things really began to take shape and my story really begins.” She stated, taking a sip of her cocoa and settling it down once more.
