Pandora’s Box

[Kiara Johnson]

(thanks everyone and I love you too Ginny, in a totaly Platonic manner lol)



Once inside, Kiara sat on a chair and looked around the room.  "The Dark Mark with his personal signature..." She mused out loud.  "We have a lot to think about, and while he's playing games, perhaps this is the best time to start.  Call the other's, see if they've been left anything as well Harry, wake Hermione and let's make sure the children stay safe.  I don't want to take any chances..." She trailed off and then became quiet.

It took no more than an hour to have everyone Kiara had intended to be there, there in Harry's home.  Hermione had set out a tray of cakes and tea or in Kiara's place, coffee and everyone stirred in their seats, waiting for anything from Kiara who has remained absolutely silent in her own thoughts for the entire time, her coffee was about the only thing that got nay reaction form her at all, and that was only to be plucked from the surface with a silent smile in Hermione's direction in way of thanks, but nothing more.

"Ya, I got one just like yours Harry, oh I hope it's not him again..." Ginny stated with a growl.  "I thought you killed him Harry."  She gave him an accusing look.

'Me too, didn't hear it be put there though like the rest of you, must have been too busy sleeping for that."  Came Nevil's voice from the far chair to Kiara's right.  "Can I hold her for a while Hermione?"  He asked, watching Lilly happily cooing in her playpen in the middle of the circle of furniture.  "What are we going to do to find out?"  He asked as he plucked the tiny baby from her imprisonment in her pen and returning to his seat, a handful of his hair gripped in the child's tiny fist.

"Of course you can."  Hermione replied with a smile.

"We'll wait for Luna, she still hasn't shown."  Kiara spoke for the first time in over an hour and everyone looked at her, Harry jumped slightly at her voice and gave a half laugh to hide his apprehensiveness.  He knew that when Kiara was silent, there was always a good reason, so when she spoke, his heart leapt thinking perhaps she was about to tell them something they hadn't already known.

"Ya, where is she, I thought everyone was here already."  Cho spoke up, looking around the living room, which seemed to have grown larger the more people came into it.

They waited another fifteen minutes until there was a knock at the door and Harry moved to answer it, opening the door, he smiled.  "It has been too long Luna, come in."  He said to the tall blonde beauty that stood in the doorway, her eyes sparkling as she moved into the room.

"Sorry I'm late everyone..."  She smiled around the room, walking over to Kiara's chair and handing her a small wrapped package.  "I had to stop and get this for her first..."  She went on.  "I hope it's the right one Kiara, there were so many, I didn't know which one was the real one, so I just closed my eyes and plucked it out of the bunch."  She stated and then took a seat next to Nevil.

Weeeeeeeee. I love reading your stories. Continue!

[dobby888]

yeah i love your stories too!!!! I think you say.....BUMP!!!!(maybe... i dont know if thats what your supposed to say.)

[Kiara Johnson]

(Just FYI there will be reference to a lot of my past stories all thrown in here together along with the Deathly Hallows too things might seem out of place in the normal HP world, but as this is actually Kiara's world stories, there is no problem.  Sorry, just had to get this out and in the open before we go ahead and I re-introduce the Character played by my best friend in the world Sebastian.. Ginny will remember him well enough I believe.  lol ((He sends his hello's to any who remembers him BTW, He's in Italy now for how long I haven't a clue))  But any way... this 'book' will distort what you all know already of Past Kiara stories as well as HP stories, major things have been changed, of course there is no Max, but well.. it had to be done though I brought into it Evan, another of his Characters.. I hope he won't mind.  So, onward and forward, sorry I should have posted this at the beginning, but I forgot to.

Huggles always, and enjoy
~K~)

[Kiara Johnson]

Kiara unwrapped the tissue paper from around the object Luna had given her and she looked down at it, all eyes straining to see what trinket Luna might have been sent off to find for her.  In her hand gleamed, what looked to be, a black velvet choker, a medallion hanging from the rather beautiful item was silver, glinting and gleaming with the Slytherin Coat of arms on it, but that wasn't what Kiara seemed to be interested in.  Without any love in her fingers, she flipped the medallion over and moved it slightly to the right then left, allowing it to catch the light and then closed her eyes, wrapping the thing back in the tissue it was brought to her in, never once did she put a bare finger on the metal of the choker.

"It was he..." She said in a soft, near whisper.

"That's not...." Hermione gasped and Harry looked absolutely livid and had begun to pace.

"The choker he made you..." Nevil continued Hermione's statement but stopped as Ginny finished for him.

"Wear to control you, it has the dark mark on the back doesn't it? How can you tell he's back with that?"  She both finished the statement and questioned.

"It shocked me, even through the tissue.. He's calling them all back to him again, now, as we speak."  She whispered this time, bringing a hand up to her head to massage her temple.

"Right, well I thought he COULDN"T come back again!"  Growled a very angry Ron, who had until this moment remained silent, as he sat munching on a few cakes and sipping the tea Hermione offered them as they waited for this.

"Ya, I mean, we destroyed all the items...." Harry growled.

"And killed the snake!"  Neville said.

Kiara held up a hand to the murmur of their voices as protests and growls of disbelief began to rise in the living room of Harry and Hermione's home.

"I don't know much more than you do at this point, but I will have answers..."  She took a deep breath.  "I guess it's time to visit Sebastian Harry, will you come with me this time?"  She stated and then asked.

Harry nearly spilled his tea down the front of his t-shirt and indeed choked slightly as he struggled to swallow that which was already in his mouth.  "Ugh..."  He sighed as his eyes watered and he gave a little cough.  "I hope our dear brother is more friendly than he was LAST time we visited..." He stated.  "Yes, I'll come with you Kiara."  He replied reluctantly.

"Then it's settled.  The rest of you, whatever you do, do NOT touch the perfectly delightful presents on the front of your doors; he might have done something to them.  Harry and I will be gone for a few days.  Ron, would you stay with Hermione please... I don't think she needs to be left alone."  Kiara stated, looking from Ron to the kids and then to Hermione who smiled a small thank you to her for asking.

The rest of the morning was spent chatting with old friends about their daily lives.  Harry and Kiara moved away from the living room though and off into a back room where they talked in some length about how they were going to handle their rather hostile half brother when they did indeed visit him.

Chapter 2




Sebastian, Keeper to the flames of Hell and half brother to Harry and Kiara and a very quick tempered piece of work though, he does love his sister.  He and Harry have had far too many falling-out's over the years and so he was quite naturally not going to be happy to see him, and would likely be angry with Kiara for bringing Harry around and so, Kiara knew she'd have her work cut out for her though her decision for bringing Harry along was solid, she wanted to give the two one more chance to make things right between them and she hoped that both would put their hot headed tempers away for a few hours, at least.  Sebastian would have information that they were not likely to gain from another source, except one and that one Kiara didn't want to go to, it was too dangerous for her and she knew it.  Besides, if gaining a sort of trust between the two half-brothers were possible, then perhaps Sebastian would help Harry to protect Hermione and the children for so much as it was worth, Kiara definitely decided that it had to be done, this time there was far more at stake than a bunch of teenage lives, much more.

"Are you ready Harry?"  Kiara asked as they stepped through the forest that surrounded the forbidden forest at Hogwarts. 

The entrance to Sebastian's underground home was through the forest and the only way Kiara knew to gain access, though she suspected Sebastian had other means on entering and leaving her world, this was perfectly acceptable an entrance for her.

"As ready as ever Kiara, I just hope he doesn't decide to kill me on site."  He grumbled in reply.

"Oh..." Kiara said, putting a hand to her mouth.  "I hadn't thought about that."  She smiled over at Harry, teasing him. 

"Real funny, he LIKES you, what do you have to worry about, why did I have to come again?"  Harry shot back, irritated at his sister's attempt at comic relief.

Ginny stood waiting for the two of them, she was leaning against a tree, watching, the smile on her lips suggested that she was totally on Kiara's side in this.  "Because you're his brother Harry, like it or not, the two of you need to talk."  She replied in her calmest and most matter-of-fact tone.

Kiara winked at Ginny, she knew the red headed girl would know what she was up to, killing two stones in one throw.

"Well, then let's go..." Kiara said and grabbed Harry's hand and followed Ginny into the dark forest.

[Ginny Weasly]

Wahaha, Harry is a big baby.
Well, that's cause he's a boy.
See, your story proves that girls think better when it comes to stuff like this!
Lolz.

Great job, Kiara. Keep it coming.

[Lola_La_Fringe7]
