A Letter is Sent (( Pyro ))

[Cassandra Blackfire G7]

She raised an eyebrow at him. His anger rather surprised her. " Well, if we are so much stronger than them, why do we hide? Shouldn't we just overpower them and tell them who's boss? Or, are we the inferior ones? Most of us can't even get along for more than a few moments, and you really can't build a united front without people getting along."

She surveyed him for a moment. " I hate to admit it, but I'm beginnig to hate muggles. Oh, yes. Even me." She looked uncomfortable for a moment. " I'll tell you something I've never told anyone before. But your sworn to secrecy."

She put the sketch pad down. " I was seeing this guy back home, and we had literally known each other since we were little kids. We kind of started dating last year, and he was over at my house one day. Well, to cut to the chase, he found my wand. He didn't realize what it was, but was a bit surprised when he picked it up and some sparks flew out of it. It was quite funny when I watched it happen, but he was a little ill after that."

She sighed. " He fussed and fumed for days and continued to aske me what the devil it was. After that, he was petrified of me and we haven't spoken since. I knew then I could never tell anyone. Craig knows of course, and my friends Megan and Meloeny have an inkling that something is going on, but don't know for sure."

" So, I can see why you feel that way. However, your not cursed to live somewhere between the wizarding world and muggle world for the rest of your life."

He looked at her. "exactly! thats what ive been thinking! We should be the ones living in the open, they should be the ones hiding from us!" he growled. than swore hed never tell anyone and listened to her tell her story.

"well, I just think us wizards shouldnt live in hiding since we are the stronger..."

[Cassandra Blackfire G7]

Cass smiled up at him, and began to lean back on the palms of her hands. " But are we really stronger? What made is go into hiding anyway? In the end, wasn't it the wizards who made that decision?"

She whispered an 'ow' as she stood up. " That shoulder is still a little weak. I can't to things like that anymore. You really did a number on me that night." She massaged her shoulder a bit then went back to working on her dress.

" Yes, the situation makes me angry at times. Unlike you, I have to lie to my friends and family. Most of my friends think I'm attending a boarding school in the states. They both knew my family couldn't afford it; so, I had to lie to them again and tell them I had a scholarship. With my mother and cousin, I can't actually tell them what I am learning. They wouldn't understand."

She began to hand sew some black satin buttons on the back of the dress. " Personally, my perfect world where we could all just live together. Trust me, I understand that is a perfect world But, muggles' and the world could really benefit from us. Take my father for example, if he had gone to St. Mungo's, he probably would of only been there for a couple of weeks. He would still be with us."

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

Pyro scoffed. "yea, it was the wizards choice to go into hiding, cause they didnt want the muggles to seek them out so that they could ask for magic solutions to their problems. Not like it matters, a wizard should be able to just flat out say No, and if the muggle persists, zap him."

He looked at the dress she was making. "your realy getting into this seamstress thing arent you?"

[Cassandra Blackfire G7]

Cass stepped back to look at her work. " Yeah, I guess I am. It's kind of funny. When I was younger and had to actually make my own clothes, I detested it. My mother continued to make me learn however. It's sort of comforting. I don't understand alot in this world, but this is something I can control. Sounds kind of funny coming from me, doesn't it?"

She continued to sew on the many buttons she had in the floor. " It's been very stressful lately. It's nice to feel in control. I really wish I could just wave my hand and make everyone's problems disappear. I know its not that easy though. You will still have to deal with your father, and I will still have to deal with my mother." A forced smile emerged on her face. " However, I think it will be alright. I hope it will be alright."

" So, what do you think of me taking animagi lessons with McGonagall?"

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

Pyro arched an eyebrow, "the only time I have to deal with my father is if I become big and famous, or if he decides he wants to kill me and hires someone to do it."

His eyes went wide. "Your studying to become an animagus?"

[Cassandra Blackfire G7]

Cass laughed slightly at Pyro's reaction. " Why do you seem so surprised? I approached her a few weeks ago about it. I heard another student tell me that she would never teach a student unless they had real talent. A couple of days ago she sent me an owl saying we were starting that night. It's very gratifying."

She began to sew on the final button. " You should know me by now. I never take the easiest course. I've always loved Transfiguration. I just decided one day I was going to be an animagus, and I've been studying for ever since. By the way, your sworn to secrecy about it."

" Don't you aspire to do something like that? I mean, what do you see yourself doing when you get older? I've always wanted to be a healer."

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

"Ok I swear, being a animagus would be fun, maybe I should look into it." he chuckled. than fell silent at her question. "dont really know. Ill be something, just havent found anything im really good at yet."

[Cassandra Blackfire G7]

She looked over her work once again. " Still not right.." she said to no one in particular.

" You know, you'll find it eventually. Hell, maybe one day you might end up Minister of Magic. I could see it now. Then everybody will know your name" She smiled sweetly at him.

" So have you decided what your going to call yourself? You should make in intimidating and strapping...like Pyro Setmypantsonfire." She chuckled.

[Pyro Blackfire S5]

HE frowned at her. "now how intimidating is that? but hey, minister of magic sounds nice."

"I really have no idea what im gonna call myself. Suppose Ill just start a brand new line of Blackfiires"

[Cassandra Blackfire G7]

Cass smiled. " Really? You seem like you detest your family name. I think it would be great to have a new identity. To start over."

Cass took out her wand, " Accio!" A bolt of red fabric with a dragon pattern shot out of her bag and landed in her hands. She unrolled the silky fabric and walked toward him. She put it up to his chest and looked into his eyes. " It goes well with your eyes." She walked away, and began to lay the fabric on the ground. She set the scissors to work again. " Don't say I never made you anything. It's going to be a Cassie's original."
