Secret. Darkness. And the Bearer of Light ✅

Introduction

A girl with brown eyes and shoulder-length hair of a dark red shade, who had recently entered the fifteenth century of her life, was looking at her reflection in the mirror. She wanted to make sure she looked flawless before the Sorting ceremony. Although you couldn't say the same about the clothes, and the sadness was reflected on her face, she really couldn't wait. Even she was curious to which college the Sorting Hat would assign her.

Just satisfied that she looked pretty good, she pulled away from the mirror and looked at the graying man in front of her with a big smile.

From the moment she met Professor Fig, who eventually became not only her main mentor, but also a very close person in her life, the teacher did not stop talking about the school of witchcraft and wizardry called Hogwarts. He talked about this school until he had a brilliant idea: talk to the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts' own council and Headmaster to accept the girl to study wizardry as a fifth year student.

So without waiting for anything, Professor Fig carried out this plan and as soon as September came and the school year started, the man brought her to Hogwarts.

The Professor Fig barely opened the heavy double doors and looked into the Great Hall, where he saw the Headmaster of Hogwarts standing on a dais in the distance, who was giving a speech while the students were listening intently.

"Excuse me, dear students, but an obstacle has just appeared that I must remove immediately. Don't disperse, I will continue my speech when I return." 

The black-haired man explained in a very dramatic voice, and after getting off the dais, he walked across the Great Hall and when he approached Professor Fig, he led him a little further so that no one could hear them. At first he didn't even notice the girl. 

"What happened, Professor Fig? Why did you decide to interrupt me at such an important moment?" the Headmaster retorted. "I was explaining to the students what to expect from the new school year..."

"We have a new fifth-year in this school. I told you about it, Headmaster." Fig got straight to the point and waved his hand at the girl next to him.

She timidly took a few steps forward and gave the Headmaster a polite nod.

Professor Fig continued:

"I know you were against it, but the Ministry of Magic and the Hogwarts Council of Teachers approved her application for fifth year at Hogwarts."

"Well, it's not an exchange program. I heard that this girl was kicked out of her old school," the Headmaster stated, his face making it clear that he didn't want any new recruits at his school. 

Especially those who start the school year at the age of fifteen. However, Professor Fig was not inclined to give up either. He will do anything to get that girl into Hogwarts.

The Headmaster added:

"Even if you have permission from the ministry, my word is still the last in this school."

"Professor Black, you will not regret it," Professor Fig said politely. "She is extremely talented. She won't need much teaching to catch up with her classmates. She has learned most of it in Ilvermorny."

"Yes, Headmaster Black, with your permission, I will interrupt your conversation," said the girl. "I promise that I will be a really exemplary student. I won't give you any trouble."

"Professor Fig, I don't really care where you put this girl, but she won't be in this school," Black continued to argue.

"Please, Headmaster Black. Let me prove that I am worthy of being at Hogwarts. Just like Professor Fig said, you won't be sorry," the girl continued to plead, fixing such pitiful eyes that Headmaster Black finally sighed deeply and rolled his eyes, waving his hand away. Still, his heart softened.

"It's okay. Enough of that," the black haired man snarled. "Professor Fig, I'll be waiting for you in my office in the afternoon. Bring this girl's admission papers. And you, Miss..." he pointed a finger at the girl.

"Bella Thompson." She introduced herself.

"Follow me," the Headmaster waved his hand at him and began to walk slowly into the Great Hall.

"I'll be in touch!" whispered Professor Fig, briefly stopping Bella, who had already started walking after  Headmaster Black. 

The girl nodded to her mentor and followed the Headmaster.

Dear Reader, hello again!

Since I only recently finished writing this story, I decided not to wait long and get to work on editing this Fanfiction of mine. It was too hard for me to say goodbye to Bella and the other characters in this story so maybe that is also the reason why I went back to the beginning of this story so quickly and decided to bring up a new improved version of this story.

I don't expect that You - the one who has already read this story once - will return to this story again, but if this happens - You have no idea how happy and grateful I will be because of it!!!

It's good for me to see more people interested in my work, it flatters my self-love. 

Well, probably what I said here is really not news, because every person who does something with love and great passion - feels flattered  by those who appreciate or even exalt him!

I don't expect that exaltation, although I will admit that I have a rather bad fault: I am a bit of an honor-seeker. But at the same time, I am also quite modest and shy, and, of course, self-critical.

I know there are really better writers than me on WP and even more so all over the world! After all, I can't call myself a writer, I'm just an amateur and even among the same amateurs, there are really better writers than me on the same WP. I always read the works of several of them with great pleasure!

However... I have great expectation and great hope that maybe there will be readers who think that my work is also not bad and will decide to give my works a chance.

So, I am republishing a revised, edited and improved version of the work "The Secret. Darkness. And the Bearer of Light" (the old name of this work "The Keeper of Secrets") and I hope that there will be more new Readers or even returning old ones who will want to see what the difference is between the old and new versions of this story.

So I wish you all a good read and a fun time with the characters in this story!

With love, always yours ➺ Kiss_Of_The_Glow

P.S. Please forgive me that this time the chapters will be much longer than before. I just don't want to expand on the number of chapters, because I can imagine how difficult it can be sometimes to read an extremely long work and if it has an extremely large number of chapters. I will try not to burden you with an abundance of text and chapters, but to present the work as interesting as possible. I hope that I will be able to achieve this goal that I have set for myself.
