The Obscurial

Him

Kate awoke with a start. A man with light brown hair and hazel-green eyes shaking me gently. He had a friendly smile. "Oh! You're awake!" His voice was cheery and kind. "I'm Newt Scamander, and you are?" "Kate." I said blandly. "Well, nice to meet you Kate." Newt said as he held out his hand. Kate hesitated then shook it."I need to discuss an important matter with you but we need to bee in a little more private place." Newt told Kate.

He grabbed her hand and appearated to another location. Kate stared at Newt in disbelief. Had she gone mad? "Oh wait! I forgot you were raised my muggles." Newt stated and shrugged his shoulders. "What's a muggle? And WHAT did we just do?" I asked. "A muggle is a non witch or wizard. And we just apparated. It's like... what to muggles call it? Teleporting." Kate couldn't believe her ears. Witches and wizards? Apparating? Could this explain the strange things happening to her? "Wait.... so you're a wizard then. Then you can explain what's happening to me then!" Kate exclaimed. "Yes, I am a wizard. And explaining what's happening to you will be difficult, but you need to believe me." Newt explained. "I'm listening." Kate replied.

"Ok. So, you are a witch. You learned that the odd things happening around you was bad. Those little things are magic that tries to escape you." "So was that what the black sna-" Kate was cut off by Newt "No. that wasn't what that was. You are an obscurial. It means you have an obscurity inside of you, it's from you trying to hid your magic. When you are feeling a strong emotion, usually anger in these instances. Your magic will kinda..... bust. It will go on a rampage and normally cannot be controlled."

"How do I fix it?" Kate questioned. Newt did not have the heart to tell her that, like the others she wouldn't survive. The obscurity would consume her. "I-I'll try some different methods but I think the best way to go is to try and redirect all of the built up magic. It would be too risky to send you to Hogwarts-" Newt was cut off " what's that!" "Its a school of witchcraft and wizardry. But, instead I will give you lessons myself." Kate stared at Newt in awe.

She was a witch. Not a freak. There were other kids like her! And best of all, she wouldn't have to go back to the orphanage.
