Chapter Sixteen: The Past and The Present Collide

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or it's affiliated characters, places, or things. Those are owned by JK Rowling and affiliated companies. This plot is mine, however, and sadly for me, I can't/won't make money off this. Such is life.

A/N: The Darkness Expands and Consumes. What people think of the Light is a lie... Sorry, I'm rambling again. Before we get started I want to say there is a REASON Harry is listed, but that won't be covered for a while. Nothing else to say move on.

July 31st 2001

The North Pole, Fortress of Solitude

The hologram of Jor-El was looking at his son like he was confused by what he said. "While there is a possibility of it son you would have shown odd quirks by now. Odd quirks beyond normal Kryptonian abilities. Things like causing a bottle of water to come rushing back to your had if it was taken away from you. From our earlier discussions, this kind of thing never happened to you. Why are you asking this?"

Clark stood there not sure how to approach this. While this was an 'imprint' of his biological father it wasn't like he was talking to the man himself. So he could only hope that he had the relevant data he needed. "Because Vuzesa's daughter, Milra, is showing signs of magic. She hasn't been in the Sunlight at all, but she was floating above the cribs mattress. The thing is it was night time when she arrived, and if she was exposed to the Sun it was for a minimal amount of time. So, it doesn't explain why she was floating."

Jor-El nodded his head in agreement. "If you can get a sample of her blood I should be able to tell you whether she can use magic or not." Clark nodded in agreement. "When you run her DNA I will analyse it and tell you what is going on. If she is magical then one of her other powers will be gone. While I could give you a probability on what ability she lost I could not tell you with absolute certainty that she lost that power specifically."

"That's understandable, but are there any powers should wouldn't lose?" Clark asked in a little bit of a hopeful voice.

Jor-El looked off in thought for a moment. "Yes, but that is again probability. Given the nature of magic, you cannot be sure which one she will or won't lose. However, the strength and speed we gain have never been recorded as lost when we discovered the other powers."

Clark nodded his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what future awaited Milra, but he didn't like the idea of her being defenceless in the world. "I have another question. If the couple uses magic to adopt Milra will that affect her Kryptonian DNA?"

Jor-El shook his head. "It shouldn't, but given on how they do it wouldn't be a problem to check that out. What I will need is the method they are going to use run through the computer system."

Clark nodded his head. "Thank you, Father, I'll be returning tomorrow with a sample of her blood."

Jor-El nodded his head. "Of course Kal-El."

As Jor-El faded away Clark walked over to the table where he had placed the crystal Vuzesa had left for Milra. He picked it up and walked over to the crystal insert of his computer system. He dropped it into an open slot. It took less than a second for the computer to register the data on the crystal. Within two seconds the hologram of Vuzesa appeared before him. She looked around and when she couldn't see anyone she recognized she asked: "The computer system tells me that you are Kal-El. Are your parents deceased?" Clark nodded his head with a determined look on his face. "I see, I am sorry that you couldn't grow up knowing them."

Clark nodded his head. "I know the imprints they left on the Sunstone."

Vuzesa nodded her head. "That is a good way of looking at us. We carry the reactions of the person who made us, but we are not them." Vuzesa frowned about this. "I just hope you left Milra in the hands of someone you trust."

Clark nodded his head with a smile on his face. "The couple just lost their child not too long ago. They seem like a decent couple." Clark looked the AI over not sure how to address what he and James saw in the girl doing in the crib. "I don't know how to tell you this, but I think your daughter has the ability to use magic. Given that you are connected to my computer you should have all the knowledge of what Kryptonian DNA allows us to do, but Milra was able to float in a crib without any exposure to the star this planet orbits. So, my only conclusion is that she can use magic."

"Interesting Kal-El, if you could get her blood I will help your father examine it." Vuzesa said this with a slight smile on her face. "You know my mother always said there was blood in En family."

Clark looked shocked at the AI. "Really?"

Vuzesa nodded her head. "Yes, the last time it should up was a thousand years ago, but it is there."

Clark nodded his head. "Good to know. I'll be leaving now, but I will see you when I return. I should have a sample of your daughter's blood by then."

Vuzesa nodded her head. "Thank you, Kal-El."

"Your welcome Aunt Vuzesa." Clark thought about it for a couple of seconds. "Before I go, are there any other relatives I might run into?"

Vuzesa laughed. "Only ones I can think of are Zor-El, Alura, and Kara. Kara is your oldest cousin if they're still alive. She will be fourteen years older than you."

"Thanks, that's something to hope for."

Clark turned around and walked to the laboratory. He made his way to the case that held a collection of phials and needles that would penetrate Kryptonian skin should Milra's skin be tougher by the time he met back up with the Potter. After that, he made his way out of the Fortress of Solitude. Once outside the Fortress Superman kicked off the ground. He then took off towards Smallville. He felt a little bit better about what was going on, but if push came to shove there was always one couple he could fall back on for help. Ma and Pa would need to know all about what had happened just in case things with the south. He didn't want to drop a newborn on them because that was a lot to explain away. He could always take her in saying that she was a child of one of Pa's cousins or something. He knew a couple of them had wild children. He didn't know he could pull that off, but it was an idea.

Clark laughed at that thought. "Yeah sure they will somehow think of a way to get Pa's cousin Marry to say that her daughter left Milra in her care, but she just can't do it. I don't know what that distant cousin of mine would do when she heard about this idea." Clark thought on this a little more. "I could just tell her that Superman gave me the child to take care of, and I need someone to say the child is there's and they want me to take care of it, and they give up all parental custody to me."

As he was coming up on Smallville in the early hours of the morning Clark descended closer to the ground. Once he made it to the farm Clark touched down softly. If he knew them Ma would already be up making Pa some breakfast. There were times he'd wanted to rush back here and get breakfast with them, but he didn't want to make it a habit. The sound of his feet touching the dew-covered grass filled his ears. Hearing that made him realize how lucky Milra was going to be. With him here she wouldn't have to put up with all the confusion he had to when he was growing up. There would be someone here able to tell her what she was going through, and how to deal with it. It's not that he needs to be closer to the house to smell Ma's cooking, but the closer he got to it the stronger the smell of her cooking became. When he got to the door he checked to see if it was unlocked. When the knob didn't move he knocked on the front door. It didn't take Ma long to get there. When she saw him she gave him a tight hug. "Oh, Clark it is good to see you."

Clark returned the hug making sure to keep the needle away from Ma's back. "Good to see you as well Ma." When the hug broke he looked down at her with a sad smile. "I need to change, and I have to call in Perry to let him know I'm coming over here for the day."

Ma looked up at him more than a little confused. "Why?"

"A Kryptonian space ship crash-landed in England over an hour ago," Clark said as calmly as possible.

"Oh my!" Ma said in a haggard breath. "Did anyone die?"

Clark nodded his head. "Let me go change, and then I will tell you more."

Ma nodded and stepped out of the way. "Go ahead Clark, I'll get out some more food. I just started making breakfast."

"Thanks, Ma." Clark said with a smile. Once inside he closed the door and walked upstairs. He made his way to his old room. He put the needle and phial onto the dresser. He then walked over to the closet and got out a shirt and a pair of jeans. Once inside he changed out of his suit and got into a pair of jeans and a simple white t-shirt. He looked at the clock on the bedside table. It was 6:30. Perry should be up by. He would be... annoyed that Clark was calling him to say he won't be showing up, but what else was he going to do.

Clark walked downstairs down and went to the phone. He called Perry's house phone. When the man answered Clark knew that the man had at least had one cup of coffee. "Perry White, how may I help you?"

"Hey, Perry it's Clark. I won't be showing up today. Superman knocked on my window last night. Something down in the UK, and he wants me to cover the story. He doesn't want the press out there to cover this all by themselves. He said that he was going to tell them what he told me."

"And that was?" Perry sounds more than a little annoyed.

Clark thought about this for a minute. There was only one thing he could say. "A Kryptonian space ship just crashed on Earth, and the only survivor was an infant. The child's mother died in a British woman's arms."

At this point, Perry sounded both intrigued and worried. "Was anyone hurt by the crash?"

Clark shook his head even though Perry couldn't see him. "No sir, Superman said that it came down in a forest. He put out the fire. There was a fight of some kind, but the supervillains that were attacking the woman were being dealt with a couple. The child is now in their custody. I don't think he will take me to her, but he will give me all the details he feels comfortable with."

The sound of Perry's voice was a couple of actives higher. It was like he was happy to hear this. "Did he tell you how old the child is?"

Clark chuckled at this question. "I asked the same thing, and he said she is just an infant. He thinks she's just a couple of months old at best."

"So does he want us to keep the Kryptonian thing a secret?" Perry asked more than a little worried.

Clark nodded his head. "Yes, I think so. I mean this is a child. I don't know how the couple is going to handle the child, but from what he said they were a decent couple."

"Well if they abuse the child I wouldn't want to be them." Even though he couldn't see Perry shiver at this statement. "Will he be disclosing the crash?"

"Yes, but Lois will be needed to cover that, and I think he will be talking with the Prime Minister about the crash first."

"That makes sense," Perry said sternly. "I'll see you when you get back, and e-mail your article to me, and hopefully he doesn't give that disclosure until Lois can get there."

"I think I'll let him know about that, and tell Lois I'm sorry." Clark smiled as he told Perry this.

"Oh, I'm sure she will thank you for that later." Clark could 'hear' the smile on the man's face. "I'll see you when you get back."

"Of course," Clark said before hanging up on the phone. When Clark turned he found Ma standing behind him. He smiled before he asked: "How long been standing behind me?"

The look of shock on Ma's face was torn between worry and sorrow. "Shortly after you said a woman died in someone else's arms. Were they Kryptonian?"

Clark nodded his head with a sad look on his face. "They were my second and third cousin. My biological father's cousin and her daughter. The couple who took the young one into their custody seems like you and Pa." Clark laughed a little at the thought of comparing James to Pa. "Granted James is more of a jokester than Pa."

Ma smiled at him. "How old is he?"

Clark thought about him for a bit and hoped the look on his face didn't show this. "I'd say he's twenty years old."

Ma just started laughing at this point. "Then he is like your Pa. The man was more than a little bit of a prankster back then."

The sound footsteps heading down the stairs grabbed his attention. Clark turned to look at Pa as he came down the stairs. The smile on his face meant the man was trying to avoid trouble. "I will never admit to more than a couple of pranks here and there. You know I have pulled a few good ones on you, Clark."

Clark laughed and smiled. "Yes, but this guy seems more... adventurous than you."

Pa laughed at this point. "Okay, I want to meet him."

Clark chuckled at this point. "Why am I worried about this?"

"Because you're afraid that I will learn something from him." Pa said before he chuckled slightly. That being said all the joy left his face in a couple of seconds. "What were you talking about before I came downstairs. I heard the word 'child', and that has me more than a little worried."

Clark nodded his head. "Let's go in the kitchen this is going to take a while." Clark started following Ma into the kitchen. "There was another arrival from the planet Krypton not too long ago. Sadly the little one's mother died not long after arrival. The only reason I knew they were Kryptonian was that she broadcast a distress call at a high frequency. She also was calling out for my biological father's help. She was crashing into the UK."

"Did anyone other than you show up to the crash site?" Ma asked with a worried look on her face.

Clark nodded his head as he poured himself a cup of coffee. "Yes. Some of the people were attacking Vuzesa, but two others were protecting her." Clark adds the sugar and milk to his coffee. As he stirred it he shook his head at what happened. "One of the attackers was rather deformed and seemed to think it was his right to kill people. He insulted James and Lily for being their protecting Vuzesa. They were able to push some of the attackers away before I joined the fight. Once I removed two of the attackers the remainders took off. After that Vuzesa died and had it not been for Lily Milra would have fallen to the ground."

Ma looked more than a little worried at this point. "What happened?"

Clark sighed. "Vuzesa was taking a couple of steps towards us, but she started falling. Lily stepped forward and grabbed Milra. After that Vuzesa told me who she was, and asked about James and Lily. Their infant son had just died, so Vuzesa past custody of Milra to them. I spent some time with them, and they seem just like the two of you in some ways. I don't know them well enough, but they seem like good people." Clark thought about how to reveal the last bit of news to them. It was one thing to watch a movie or read a book about witches and wizards. It was another one to knowing them. "There is also something else about them." Clark took in a deep breath. "They are a witch and a wizard. Before you ask no they were not evil. In fact, they were fighting against other magic users. There is an entire magical community over there that is in hiding probably to protect themselves."

Ma looked a little suspicious. "Are you sure they are not evil themselves?"

Clark nodded his head. "Yeah, and the Kryptonian girl they have taken into their care is a witch as well. All this being said there are evil witches and wizards. There was a group of them that these two were fighting against."

Pa chuckled at this point. "So let me guess your thinking about adding them to this little 'club' you are wanting to start up?"

Clark chuckled as Ma started putting the plates of eggs, bacon, and toast on the table. "Yeah, the thought is there. I talked to them about being able to ask for help if I should need it. Lily seemed more than eager to do it. James is helping the magical police fight these evil wizards and witches. So if anyone might help me it would be these two, and maybe that Doctor Fate. The guy who help me out last week dealing with an evil wizard."

Pa nodded his head. "I remember you talking about that do you think this guy could be connected to the people attack the group of people?"

Clark shrugged as he stabbed his fork into the sausage. "No idea, but that is a good question to ask the guy while we have him in jail."

Ma took a sip of coffee before she asked: "Is there anything else we need to know?"

Clark thought about it for a moment as he chewed on the sausage. "The magical government over there is all kinds of messed up in my opinion. They are having to change the Milra's genetics to do that with some kind of potion. Both of them hate the law, and I happen to agree with them. Though we have a plan to work around that stupid law."

Ma and Pa looked at one another, and then looked back at him. They both looked more than a little livid. Ma asked: "What are you planning to do?"

'Oh boy. Maybe I messed up here.' Clark thought as he smiled at Ma.

James was bouncing Milra on his knee at the moment wondering how he would be reacting to the arrival of his son today. He would probably be screaming at the top of his lungs as Lily proceeded to shatter his hand in her vice-like grip. In a way, this was kind of better. He didn't have to go about the worry of fourteen-hour labour. That would be a nightmare. For both him and Lily, more him than lily though.

"What's got you smiling James," Lily said as she closed the front door. Her right arm was strung through a few bags from different stores. Lily had gone out to get the essentials for Milra. Some milk, nappies, clothes, and some more girl centred toys.

"I was thinking of how much of a nightmare fourteen-hour labour would be for the two of us. I don't think I could take it. The pain I would be feeling in my hand would be ungodly." James said with a smile on his face as he looked over his should at Lily with a smile.

Lily walked up to him and swatted him on the shoulder. "Prat." Lily then looked at Milra and smiled. "Hi there Milra hopefully he hasn't been too cruel to you."

"Oi!" James said in objection while looking at his wife. The sound of their fireplace come to life grabbed his attention. As he looked at the fireplace he found his brother in all but blood walking towards them. The stunned look on Sirius face made James smile. "What's knocked you off your broom Sirius?"

"Dumbledore told me that you had taken into your care an orphan, but I didn't believe him until now," Sirius said with soft shocked tone to his voice. "So, is it true that you were helped by Superman?"

James nodded his head. "Yeah, but I'm amazed that you know about him." James' attention was drawn back to Milra and found her smiling at Sirius. He looked back at his friend. "Want to hold her?"

"Sure," Sirius said with a smile as he held out his arms. James handed Milra to him with a slight smile on his face. Sirius took Milra and held her close to his chest as he rocked her back and forth. "Voldemort be damned. It's moments like this that matter."

Lily laughed at this. "That is the first time in years that you've said his name, Sirius."

Sirius laughed and looked at Lily. "I don't know what it is, but I feel better right now, and I think things are going to get better."

James laughed at this. He knew what Sirius was talking about. Since Harry's passing James had felt miserable, and the news coming out of the Daily Prophet was not helping matters. It seems like everyday Voldemort or his Death Eaters would kill, torture, or do other disturbing things to innocent people in the magical or muggle world. Yet having Milra for just a few hours they had brought some semblance of hope. "I agree with you about that Sirius." James looked over at Lily and thought of what Milra had done last night. His smile shifted to mischievous, and Lily just rolled her eyes. "She's already shown signs of magic, so she might be one of the most powerful witches of this generation."

Sirius looked at him like he was stunned for a couple of seconds. This shifted to a judging smirk before he spoke in a mocking tone. "Yeah right James, if she is did something that astounding Hogwarts would have already been notified about her display of magic."

Lily laughed as she walked up Sirius. "Maybe it has been. We won't know for a while. It will take a little bit more examples of magic."

James nodded his head and patted his brother on the back. "She has a point Sirius, and given what we saw maybe her name is already in Hogwarts records."

"You never know James," Sirius said with a smile.

Albus looked once more at the Book of Admittance something he had not done in many years. Now it was Minerva who looked at this time to get the names of students who could be students in the upcoming year. The enchanted dark black dragonhide book, ink well and enchanted quill sat there on a pedestal. The tome's pages were yellow with age, and to be honest they were almost gold. The dark black ink on the page still seemed fluid where the address of the student was written. If Albus was honest with himself he would have never thought of doing something like this if he was founding a school.

Albus shook his mind of these thoughts. He walked up to the tome, and placed his hand, and looked down at the page that tome was currently open to. Starting at the top of the page Albus started reading the names in the tome. There were a couple of times he had to move out of the way because the quill wanted to write a name in the book, or because the book slammed closed to prevent the quill from writing a name within it. While he did this some of the names made him nod his head. Susan Bones, Lavender Brown, Seamus Finnigan, and Michael Corner. Only one of these children had he the luxury of meeting. It was a sad meeting. Had Susan's father not been killed Albus would not have met the poor child. Once he left those born in 1979 documented thus far he arrived at some of the more recent children. He knew that Milra had been born at least a few months ago he had no real idea how old she was, and there was only one way he could think of spelling her name. When he got to the bottom of the page he came across what he was looking for, but what he found to add more mystery to what was going on than he was suspecting. The name written in the book was Milra Foll-La, and had he not he been told the girls name Albus would have thought this was a mistake.

"This can't be right," Albus said as he pulled out his wand, and checked to see if the book or quill had been messed with. They were fine, so Albus chose to check what was written. "Appare Vestigium," Albus whispered. Albus watched the cloud of gold dust move around the room. While it did show magic in the room it was only his entering the room, and the new names in the book that seemed to be new. He cast the spell once more focusing on the Milra's name. There was nothing about her written name that was different than the other names. So, that had to be her actual name, but he had never heard of a culture that named their children in this way. He pulled off his glasses and cleaned them before looking at the page once more. There was no distinction between this ink and the rest of the ink on the page. "This is beyond interesting. I may have to go talk to them about this child because this could be something that really should think about before truly committing to this endeavour."

Albus walked out of the room and sealed the door, and made a mental note to tell Minerva of this if James and Lily adopted the little girl. The last thing he needed was her confused about who they were getting into the school. Once Albus got back to his office he looked at the clock. It was from 12:30 PM. Perhaps he might catch them before they left to get some things for the girl.

11:30 AM

Godric's Hollow, United Kingdom

Clark was walking around this village looking for the house that he'd been brought to last night. Normally he'd be using his super-hearing to listen for James or Lily's voice, but right he was having to Lois complain about him taking this random trip. He didn't know if she was upset that he got the news of the meteorite that had made landfall in England. How she found out about it he would never know, but thankfully he had called Perry at one in the morning telling him that he was going to 'investigate' this. Perry had told him that if a meteorite had hit England then Superman would have gone there to help them. So he told Clark to go and get more information. Well, Clark being a 'resourceful' reporter had 'learned' the approximate area that the meteorite had fallen, and taken off for England by 1:15 AM on a red-eye flight. After that, it was a couple of train rides to get him here now. Now he just had to find James and Lily's house.

Clark closed his eyes and listened for their voices. It didn't take long to hear James' voice. "I'm telling you, Sirius, she was floating off the mattress. That stunned me quite a bit."

"I git that James, but this cute little girl can't be THAT powerful." There was a mad cackle that followed this statement. That man sounds a little more touches of humour than James.

Lily huffed. "What? Now you're a sexist in addition to being a womanizer?"

Clark could hear someone's arms moving through the air. At this moment he started using his x-ray vision to find the house. A house a little further down the road he was the one he was looking for. It had a man backing up towards the door. His trousers looked more than a little expensive, the shoes extenuated this, and the way he had his sleeves rolled up until made him seem more flamboyant than Bruce Wayne. Lily was walking towards him with her wand drawn. "No of course not Lils. I was just saying that... um... given her AGE that such a thing was nigh impossible."

Clark stopped using his x-ray vision and started making his way to the house as Lily responded to Sirius' statement. "You know the only thing saving your arse right now is that you are holding my daughter in your arms right now. If you weren't you might find yourself being the ass your acting like right now." Clark could hear someone moving around in the house he didn't know who it was, but if he was a betting man he would say it was Sirius.

Clark was chuckling as he drew closer to the house at what Lily said next. "Keep digging that hole young man. Now hand Milra over to me this instant before I MAKE YOU do it."

Clark knocked on the door as James responded. After the statement, Clark stopped listening. "I wouldn't change it, man, she's SIRIUS." As James opened the door Clark could see two people standing behind him. The black-haired grey-eyed man had to be Sirius. The shit-eating grin on the man's face spelt trouble. When James looked at he looked at him a little curious. "May I help you, sir?"

Clark chuckled a little at how ease a pair of glasses and loose-fitting clothes fooled people. Clark lowered his glass and spoke plainly to James. "I'm just returning as I promised I would."

James smiled and backed away from the door. "Come on Clark. I didn't realize you'd be back this FAST."

"One plane ride and a couple of trains are all it took." Once inside Clark walked up to Lily who was bouncing Milra on her hip. "How are you doing Lily?"

Lily briefly looked at him and smiled, before she looked back at Sirius. "Thing is fire, Clark. It seems that a few old DOGS need to be taught a lesson."

"I'm sorry Lily, really I am," Sirius said while back up against the wall with his hands raised.

Lily huffed once more. The stern look on her face was more than a little frightening. It reminded him more than a little of when Ma was upset with him. "Fine, but if I were I'd mind your tongue from now one." Her face brightened up as she looked at Clark once more. "Hi, Clark how have you been."

Clark smiled back. "I've been okay a red-eye flight, and two train rides later brings me here. I'm just glad Superman told me where to go."

Lily looked shocked at this. "You took a red-eye to get here?" Clark nodded. "You could have taken a later flight, Clark. Are you hungry?" She didn't have Ma's voice, but the tone was similar. Clark didn't have a chance to respond she handed him Milra. "Go sit down Clark, and I'll be right back with something fixed up." She looked once more at Sirius. "And if YOU want food I would recommend behaving."

Sirius stood up in a form of attention and saluted her. "Ma'am yes, ma'am!"

"Sirius..." Lily said with a stern tone. Sirius lowered his head and started making his way to the couch.

Once Lily was in the kitchen James gestured to the living room. "So, do you have any news to share with us?"

Clark looked at James with a shocked look on his face. He looked over at Sirius, and then back at James. "You trust this man to keep this secret?" Clark started listening to James' heartbeat and breathing.

James' heartbeat and breathing stayed steady. "Absolutely. This is my brother in all but blood. We fight the Death Eaters together, and we've known each other now for many years."

Clark nodded his head and sat down on the sofa. Milra reached up and took his glasses off. Clark didn't fuss about this as he answered James questions. "It turns out Kryptonians can use magic it is just really rare. We will lose an ability when this happens though."

Sirius looked between him and James. After a couple of doing this, he asked: "Why are you two talking about this?"

James looked back at Clark, and the two of them stared at one another for a couple of seconds. Clark nodded which caused James to stand up. He walked over to the window as he said. "Because he's Superman, and the young woman he's holding is another one of his people. I think she's his cousin."

Clark nodded and started floating off the couch while bouncing Milra on his knee as she fidgeted around with his glasses. "You could try and stop me from doing this just like Dumbledore did earlier this morning."

Sirius looked over at James. "The Ministry isn't going to register this are they?"

James chuckled. "Even if they do they now have him registered as a non-muggle by now. So, I don't think it will be registered. Especially if he is flying like this."

Sirius pulled out his wand and he looked over at James. "Are you sure Lily won't be mad at me for doing this?"

Lily's voice grabbed everyone's attention. "So long as Milra isn't hurt by I don't care." Seeing Sirius jump caused James and Clark to laugh.

"You move like a ninja," Sirius whined more than a little dramatically.

"Oh hush you overgrown puppy." Lily set a tray of fish and Frenchifies. "Hand Milra over."

Clark hands Milra over to Lily and grabbed a Frenchify. Once Lily had stepped away from him Sirius drew out his wand. He then cast out a couple of spells at him. When these did nothing he cast a red spell at him that made Clark feel a little bit drowsy. After that Sirius just stood there with this shocked look on his face. "Wow. So a stunning spell does nothing to you?"

Clark shook his head. "I feel a little bit drowsy, but nothing more than that." Clark reached out and grabbed a fish. Before taking a bite he asked: "Do you believe me now?"

Sirius just stood there with this stunned look on his face. A few seconds later he was laughing hysterically. "This is brilliant! I cannot believe that you two are friends with him. How did this happen?"

Clark looked over at Lily. Lily nodded and answered the man's question. "Sirius, you do know that the muggles have been to the into space right?"

Sirius nodded his head. "Right, that is the space between the Earth and the moon right?"

Lily nodded her head. "Yes the thing is Clark here and Milra are from a planet orbiting another star, and before you ask yes the Sun is a star. If he were to go far enough away from it and look back at it all you would see is white light. Before you ask no the distance to go between the Earth and Krypton is a massive distance. How many light years is it Clark?" Lily was looking at him at this moment.

"27.1 and it is in the southern part of the Corvus constellation. To give you a reference for distance Sirius a light-year is six billion miles in distance, to nine trillion kilometres. That means our home planet is 162.6 trillion miles, or 261.679 trillion kilometres away."

Before any more could be said there was a knock at the door. The conversation fell quiet as Lily rose to answer the door. When she opened the door Clark heard a familiar voice and wished she would let him 'handle' a few stories without being so nosey. "Hi, my name is Lois Lane. I'm a reporter for the Daily Prophet. I was told my college is here, and that would be Mr Kent."
