Taerel looked at the girl in front of where he was staying not sure who she was and he was intrigued by her for some reason and before he could do anything Sheen was heading for her for some reason it wasn't until he got close enough that he saw that the girl had a cat next to her purring away

1*ତେଣୁ ସେଥିପାଇଁ ତୁମେ ମୋର ପ୍ରିୟ ସେଠାକୁ ଯାଇଛ he smiled and went over to her

"Sheen my dearest come here let us leave the nice lady to her reading" said Taerel but Sheen didn't want to move he liked the other cat both were now purring away like mad

"Oh hello?" said the girl to him

"Hello my dear I am sorry about my dear Sheen but they seem to have become friends which is strange as Sheen tends to stay with me, I am Taerel Heikrana by the way, I am pleased to meet your acquaintance" and he bowed to her

"You are funny my name is Charity Frost and this is my cat Shadow, beautiful isn't he, he's a Maine Coon" she pet Shadow making him purr loudly rolling over onto his back

"He does seem happy and healthy, do you mind if I have a look? do not worry about me hurting him I have been trained"

"Well I don't mind by he can be temperamental with unknown people"

"I will make sure to be careful so do not worry about it" he was soon looking over Shadow and could see that he was a very healthy cat and nothing was wrong with him

"Completely healthy and very well cared for, thank you for letting me check the dear out" he pet Shadow and to Charity's complete shock her cat let Taerel pick him up

"That is a first" and she smiled putting her book down which appeared to be a Transfiguration text book

"I see you like Transfiguration"

"Not really just looking over the chapter that Professor McGonagall gave use last lesson you should really sit in and see what we do it's a fun lesson t be honest and I like it but I prefer Charms best"

"Ah yes Charms and Duelling Master Filius Flitwick he is very well known to me and I have never been able to duel with him Grandfather would not allow it, he said that I have to be older and pass my classes that I have signed up for, I have mastered many but I still have a lot to learn"

"Can I ask a question?"

"You have already", this made Charity laugh as he was right she had asked a question and he had answered

"I wanted to ask do you always talk so formally? I mean you are very polite and that I just find it strange that you are what fourteen in human years and yes I understand that you have been brought up in a different 'world' and all that I just wanted to know why you do?" she asked

"Ah that... yes I do it is something I have done since I appeared in the Halls of the Elven Realm, you see my grandfather talks like this and I look up to him, well I have to his is taller than me and is one of the tallest people in the Realm, I look up to him as he is in the top of his field, you see the Heikrana family are the top healers, due to that I started to copy him, my uncle Aubion and aunt Arel do not follow this I would not know of my mother as I lost her at a young age"

"Oh I'm sorry to hear about that" she gave a shy smile

"You are not going to tell me that I must be 'Harry James Potter'?"

"Oh I could, I could but you don't like that so I will call you Taerel if that's ok with you?"

"That is fine with me" he gave her a smile "would you care to visit where I am staying" points to the wall

"There isn't anything there Taerel" said Charity to him confused to as why he was pointing to the wall

"Oh there is if you know where to look my dear" and he got up and went over to the wall pacing back and forth three times and then the door appeared

"What in Merlin?!" she was shocked

"My dear Charity Frost I welcome to you the Room of Requirements this room showed itself to me as your Headmaster wanted me to stay with the people of the red and gold house..."

"Oh Gryffindor is the red and gold house, Slytherin is green and silver, Ravenclaw are blue and bronze and my house Hufflepuff is yellow and black"

"Ah thank you for that information you are the only one that has told me a bit about the school for unknown reason your Headmaster will not let anyone tell me, strange if you ask me"

"That is very strange" she said as Taerel let her enter the room and she was surprised at what the room could do

"This is a complete replica of my room back home, I feel more at home within this room than I do anywhere else in this world as I am not with my family, he took off his cape setting it aside and let the elves remove and clean it

"Please do sit down Charity the elves will bring us something to refresh ourselves with, I do hope that you are ok with tea and my favourite berry biscuits as an elf we only eat fruit, veg and grains but we do eat fish on Friday's and Sunday's" as he said this Barnaby placed down some tea and biscuits and popped away

"Who was that?"

"Oh Barnaby he is a member of the elves that look after the Heikrana family he helped raise my so you could call him my nanny for lack of a better term" this made Charity laugh as she tried the butter fruit biscuits that Barnaby had brought

"Oh these are amazing I can't make anything like this!"

Taerel laughed at her face "my dear you may call me Trell, close friends and family get to call me that and I would be honoured for you to call me that if you like"

"Oh wow that's... we have only just met and all"

"That I know but I feel that we are going to be good friends and that you have helped me in a lot of ways already as you have told me about the 'houses' of the castle herself and she sings your praises"

"What the castle can speak?!"

"Yes she has watched over each and everyone that has passed through her doors and has cherished each and everyone of you, she sings I can see magic and your core is bright and strong for only being I would have to guess sixteen?"

"How did you know?"

"Magic"
