A/N: This is a Sequel to Daniela Merida and her Slithering friend. HP Universe owned by J.K Rowling
After a family dinner I took my mom aside to talk.
"Mom, why didn't you want me to tell Dumbledore about the Horcuxes? I really want Mrs Prince to stay as our teacher," I ask. I look to her expecting to get one of her aloof answers when it has anything to do with the future, but I really need to know. I may just have to press her for answers.
She starts nervously twisting one of her black curls around her finger.
"Mrs Prince wouldn't fare well in that school any more, I do want you talk to Dumbledore though but I needed to tell you what and how talk to him. I don't trust that man, I hope the giant hasn't caused you grief?" My mom replies. She then removes her hand she was using to play with her hair to be on my shoulder to comfort me.
Good, I really do think Dumbledore at least needs to know what happened right under his nose. Mrs Prince won't 'fare well'. Mrs Prince would die if she stayed, no wonder my mom didn't want her to stay at Hogwarts.
"The giant isn't a teacher or anything and he lives outside the castle," I answer.
At this my mom's hazel eyes narrows in annoyance.
"Don't tell your father about this but Hagrid is teaching this year, that's why your grand mama warned you not to take care of magical creatures," My mom replies.
I gasp, why!
"This isn't good mom," I say this in fright.
Before we went and visited the Malfoy household I told father about the fact that it was Mr Malfoy who gave the diary to Ginny. My father didn't seem fussed about this though. My father insisted that Mr Malfoy must not have know what the object was capable of doing or the importance of it.
Tam and Sev were joining us, I brought both of my broomsticks. Sev borrowed one of Dracos. Tam used my Nimbus 2000. We ended up playing quidditch in their grounds. It was fun, the four of us wore ourselves playing Quidditch then had lunch with the parents.
We then went to their second lounge room to play some exploding snap, my siblings and I were having such fun that when it was time to go, Tam whined. I smirked at this.
Later that night ...
"Dayme, patience," Anna says to her husband.
"That man is a buffoon!" Damien replies.
"Ssshhh, you'll wake the children," Anna counters.
"Are you sure I need to do this? That man irritates me," Damien hisses.
"Lucius isn't all that bad, he kind of reminds me of you, and sweetie if you don't do all that I ask, the Dark Lord will murder our entire family, I've seen it!" Anna replies.
Damien cringes, "Fine, if it means we'll be safe from the Dark Lord, I'll be friends with Mr Malfoy, but please don't insult me by saying I am like him. And thanks for not telling me it was Mr Malfoy who put the diary into Hogwarts."
I toss my history of magic essay aside and slump on the bed.
"You OK Danni?" Tammy says across the room sitting in front of our study desk.
"Not really, you know I am freaking out about this year, we don't have much of holidays left," I reply.
"You're not freaking out as much as me, Salem is going to be hard!" Tammy replies.
In my selfishness I totally forgot that Tammy was starting her first year of schooling this year.
"Wow I totally forgot that, don't forget to keep sending me owls OK, I love getting them, tell me all the gossip about what Salem is like," I say then smile.
"Will do Dan," She replies then she returns back to her book.
I walk downstairs to grab something to eat for lunch, I walk into the kitchen and notice my parents muttering over a Daily Prophet article.
"What has happened?" I ask curiously.
My mom hands me the article in response.
First ever break out!
It has been confirmed that Mr Peter Pettigrew has escaped Azkaban, the first ever person to ever escape the once thought to be inescapable fortress.
He was responsible for Murdering thirteen people with a single curse and framed Mr Sirius Black in the process. Here is what Mr Sirius Black had to say on the subject.
"I can't say I am surprised, what's another bungle to an already corrupt system? Everyone knew that he was illegal rat animagus, mark my words that's how he was able to escape. There better be an inquiry as to why they didn't take that into account!"
The article then went on to criticize the minister, I stopped reading. My hands shake a little and I leave to find Severus.
"Don't be too hard on Sev," My mom whispers to my retreating back.
No doubt he'll be in our potions lab. I see him studying in the potions lab, as usual.
"Sev, let's duel," I hiss at him.
He calmly looks up and gives me a curious look, "No," He replies evenly.
I lift my wand, "I wasn't exactly giving you a choice," I shout.
He smirks baiting me, "You're no fun in this mood, you'll cast the sh .. BHAHAHa."
I had silently sent him a tickling charm.
"You're improving with silencing your curses! Game on little sis," He says then smirks.
We go to duel in the back yard, I was getting rid of vent up anger by exhausting myself duelling with Sev and it felt good when I got successful hits.
I was almost done using my bro like punching bag when he did something that really surprised me. I dropped my wand in shock.
"Severus you, you can produce the impenetrable shield?" I ask.
It's gold in color and shimmers around the caster, It's the name my father gave his shield spell he created. The shield can't be broken with any spells, even unforgivable curses but it's a spell so long that I have only known my father to be able to use it. That must mean.
"You have a photographic memory like father!" I cry.
"SShhh Dan," He says and looks to the house.
"Why are you keeping this a secret Sev," I ask whispering, "Wouldn't mom know already?" I continue.
He rolls his eyes, "That women knows everything, it's dad I don't want to find out. He'll start training me and Salem already gives me so much I don't wish to have any more," He replies.
"The spells you could do though are endless, Oh Sev you're going to be just as talented as father!" I say then rush and give him a hug.
He chuckles, "Thanks sis, so why the sudden need to duel, hey? Problem with boys?" He teases.
"Hey, none of that! I am only twelve, butthead," I reply annoyed.
"Yeah you sound twelve, butthead, really?" He replies then starts laughing.
I pick up my wand, (14 inches, vine wood, unicorn hair) and head back inside. We had a family dinner and we discussed Peter more. I was feeling a lot better, I was actually pleasantly pleased about finding out about my brothers gift.
I was standing in front of Gringotts with my mom and dad, the place where we were meeting the Greengrass family.
I see Daphne, I sequel in excitement and run up to her to give her a hug.
"So Danni, this is Astoria, my baby sister I never shut up about," Daphne says after we break our hug.
"Hey Astoria, aren't you a pretty one, just like you sis, so are you looking forward to school this year?" I ask her.
"Hi Danni, nice to finally meet you in person! Please I prefer Tori," She replies.
"Well I don't, ew sis," Daphne replies. They start having a tickling war. I laugh, they are cute siblings.
Our parents take us out for lunch before we have to buy our school supplies. Tori was very sweet, she wanted to be in Slytherin with Daphne. I start to get a little envious. If I was in Salem I would be getting Tam ready to join me in Salem Academy.
"Do you like Pansy Danni?" Tori asks.
"Why do you ask?" I reply.
"Oh it's just our parents entertained the Parkinson's and the Malfoys recently and I must say whenever they come over I can't stand her, I mean the way she is all over Draco, gross!" She says.
"You mean, 'Drakey, Oh Drakey can you be like any more prefect like?' ... Nope, I have no idea what you mean Tori," I counter then wink at her.
They laugh. "Danni, that wasn't very nice," My mom whispers to me.
We shopped for all our supplies for school, Daphne had to literally drag me away from the firebolt display.
"What a scrumptious looking broom!" I say dreamily.
I was being stupid just thinking about it, I mean upgrading my broom every year is a waste of money, but a girl can dream.
I was sitting down with Daphne in the waiting room of Madame Malkins, Tori was getting her new school robes.
"So have you heard from Hermy? She said her holiday in France is going very well," Daphne asks.
"Yes I have, I even gave her a recommendation on a few more places to visit, well my parents did, I can't really remember the holiday. I was too young when our family went on our trip to France," I reply.
The sun was creeping through my window, I groaned and turned to try to go back to sleep.
"Oi bitch, wake up, wake up," I hear someone whisper near me.
"De" - I yawn ... "Delilah?" I ask groggily.
I open my left eye to see the blond haired Veela beauty, "Oh hey," I sit up and give her hug. "Happy birthday!" She sequels and places a present on the bed.
"Aw you shouldn't have," I say smiling then I start to open it. I can tell it's clothes from the softness of the package. I rip the paper open very enthusiastically.
I see it's black soft pants and a long sleeved black lacy top. What, no color? Damn I like wearing color.
"I know what you're thinking but if I got you something colorful and a dress it would be like everything else in your wardrobe, I wanted to get you something different," She replies.
"Thanks so much the lace is very pretty," I reply hastily trying not to upset her.
"Can't believe you're officially a teenager now!" She replies smiling.
We both go downstairs to the rest of the family and have breakfast. After breakfast I start to open presents. Daphne and Hermione have sent me presents as well. I was lucky to have such nice friends.
"So there is one more gift from all of us," My mother says.
"What! No you have already given me so much already," I reply.
My mother walks out of the room, before she comes back into the room she has told me to close my eyes.
"OK, now open your eyes sweet pea," Grandma Merida says.
I open them to have in front me a FIREBOLT, no way!
"Guys, no way!" I reply.
Wow, it's so pretty!
I handle the broom with care, it's amazing.
"This is for you Danni on the condition you give your nimbus 2001 to Tammy," My father says.
"No problem," I reply still looking at my broom.
Huh, "Wait, does this mean you're going to start playing Quidditch Tam?" I ask her.
I look to her in surprise, she nods.
"Yes, I am going to play chaser, I am not sure how good I'll be though," Tam replies.
"Tammy don't be so modest, you're great! I just had her tryout not that long ago, when you were getting your school supplies," Delilah says.
Another Quidditch player in the family now! That's awesome.
I was at the platform 9 3/4 with just my mom becoming very nervous, are the dementor's really going to come on the train.
"Happy birthday again sweetie, and good luck with talking with Dumbledore, you will do fine trust me. Keep your wand ready for the dementor's," She says needlessly warning me again.
"Thanks mom," I reply giving her a hug.
I spot Hermione and Daphne. They were in a carriage with an adult who was asleep. I notice the shiny new black brief case that had Professor R J Lupin.
No way, it's the man that I meet at Potters. He looks so different with his new robes and haircut, he's practically shining.
After greetings I take a seat across from them next to Lupin. I notice a box on Hermione's lap.
"What's that Hermione?" I ask then point to the box.
"I am glad you asked Danni it's badges for P.E.R ... " She says then goes on and on about her plans for elfish rights. I feel so mean thinking this but I feel like I am at a boring convention.
I hear the doors open, it's Potter and Weasley. Oh good an interruption, I know Hermione means well but I really think giving them complete freedom would destroy them and I wish not to harm them in that way.
"Oh good you're here Danni I needed to speak to you," Potter says.
"Oh really? What about," I reply surprised.
"Peter, he has escaped. You must know but what they didn't report is that there is going to be extra security at the castle because the ministry is worried he will attack the school, but Sirius says they are barking mad for thinking that because Peter is a coward," He says very serious. Hermione gasps and looks very frightened.
I already knew this, mother warned me. She told me that nothing will happen and he won't succeed in going anywhere near the castle and again she didn't want my father to know. That is becoming a bad habit of mother lately. I am annoyed though because dementor's don't belong near schools it's going to dampen my mood.
"Thanks for telling me this," I reply.
"Are you guys excited about Hogsmeade?" Daphne says, she wants to distract us, it's her tactic for making people feel better and I must say her tactic works.
"I finally can get into Honeydukes! Oh the sweets ..."
"Sugar quills," Weasley says interrupting me.
"Pepper imps ..." I add.
"Massive sherbet balls ..." Weasley counters.
"That make you levitate a few inches of the ground while sucking them," I interrupt.
"Fat chocoballs full of strawberry mouse and clotted cream," Weasley adds.
I am getting hungry talking about this.
"Oh how cute they are bonding over their love of sweets," Daphne says and then rolls her eyes.
I snort in laughter.
"There are suppose to be really cool places there, like the shrieking shack, that's supposed to be the most haunted building in Britain. Hogsmeade was the site of 1612 goblin rebellion," Hermione tells us.
"Zonko's the joke shop is also good I've been told," I reply.
"Won't it be nice to get out of school for a bit and explore Hogsmeade?" Hermione asks Potter because the conversation hasn't taken the turn she wanted it to.
"Spect it will, Sirius said the shrieking shack was a waste of time though. I would love to get my hands on a butterbeer, those drinks are nice, so a trip to the Three Broomsticks Inn is a must," He replies.
Hermione smiles at this reply.
"Is Remus going to sleep the whole way there," Weasley says looking at Mr Lupin.
"Yes, He has been really stressed lately," Potter replies, Weasley doesn't expect this answer and looks to me and says, "Oh."
"Did you forget I was here?" I reply.
"What do you mean," Hermione says while fumbling with the straps on the basket for her new cat.
"Don't let that thing out!" I say to Hermione.
Too late, It leap from the basket and stretched and yawned.
"Urgh, I feel my nose twitching already," I say in disgust.
"Uh oh, now you've done it Herm ... " Daphne says.
"AAAH CHHo ..
"What's it's name?" Daphne says.
"It's ...
AAAH ch
"Crookshanks," Hermione replies.
AHHHHH CHHo
"Sorry Danni! I didn't ..
AAHH Ch
know it was that bad," Hermione says looking very sorry. I hear our carriage door opens.
AAH Ch
AAAAch
"You know if you're that allergic to the stink of Gryffindor's, you really shouldn't be in this carriage Danni," Draco says.
I chuckle at this but regret it when Hermione gives me a sour look.
Draco was with Vincent and Greg. Draco turns to look to Weasley.
"I heard your father finally got his hands on some gold this summer, Weasley, did your mother die of shock?" Draco says.
Weasley stood up so quickly he knocked Crookshanks basket to the floor.
AAHH Cchoo
Professor Lupin gave a snort
"Who's that?" Said Draco, taking an automatic step backward as he spotted Lupin.
AAAh CCh
"New teacher, what were you saying, Malfoy?" Potter replies.
Draco was annoyed that a teacher was here so he couldn't bully them more.
"C'mon," Draco muttered bitterly to Vincent and Greg, and they disappeared.
Potter and Weasley sat down again, Weasley massaging his knuckles.
"I'm not going to take any crap from Malfoy this year, I mean it. If he makes one more crack about my family, I'm going to get hold of his head and —"
Weasley made a violent choking gesture in mid-air.
I roll my eyes, "You do know why he hates you two though don't you Weasel?" I reply annoyed at him.
"Urgh, like he needs a reason, you just have to look at his rat face to know he's evil," He replies.
AAAhh Ccch
Hermione now hastily puts Crookshanks back in his box.
"He is not evil, you and Potter were being complete jerks when he was actually genuinely excited about introducing himself to you guys. You two made out he wasn't worth your time, like he was beneath you, so do you really think he was going to be civil after that?" I say annoyed at how stupid they are for not understanding, if it wasn't for Hermione, Daphne and I wouldn't be here.
Weasley's dismissed what I've said but Potter looks thoughtful.
"Anything off the trolley?" I heard from the trolley lady.
"Do you think Mr Lupin wants something?" Hermione asks.
"No, don't wake him, he wouldn't appreciate it," Potter replies.
I rummage through my purse to get enough coins.
I place my stack of treats in a silk bag I carry just for this reason. I then proceed to get the sandwiches I brought.
"Wait, you brought all that food from the trolley but you brought your own sandwiches? Why didn't you get Pumpkin pasties?" Weasley asks.
I start dry heaving at the thought, "That's why, can you open the window Hermione so I don't get sick," I reply eying Potters pumpkin products darkly.
After a while though the rain got too bad to keep them open.
The train starts to slow down.
"Great I want to go to the feast," Weasley says.
"But we can't be there yet," Says Daphne.
Hermione looks to her watch, "Yes you're right it's too early."
"So why are we stopping," Potter replies.
I looked out of the compartment, I was the nearest to the door, I saw everyone else doing the same thing.
When the train came to complete stop it jolted, so I sat back down. Then the lamps went out. I take in a breath, so this is it. When the Dementor's come searching for Peter.
I have my wand ready.
"Lumos," I casted.
"D'you think we've broken down?" Potter says
Like the train could run out of magic.
"Dunno …" Weasley replies.
Weasley then looks out the window, I shine my wand at the window.
"There's something moving out there," Weasley said. "I think people are coming aboard…"
Neville and Ginny then joined us not long after. It was getting very packed in here.
"I'm going to go and ask the driver what's going on," Hermione says.
"No Hermi ...
"Quiet," Said a hoarse voice suddenly interrupting me.
Professor Lupin appeared to have woken up at last.
There was a soft, crackling noise, and a shivering light filled the compartment. Professor Lupin appeared to be holding a handful of flames. They illuminated his tired, grey face, but his eyes looked alert and wary.
The flames gave much better light than my Lumos charm.
"Stay where you are," Professor Lupin said with his handful of fire held out in front of him. But the door slid slowly open before Lupin could reach it.
Standing in the doorway, illuminated by the shivering flames in Lupin's hand, was a cloaked dementor. It towered to the ceiling.
"Nox," I say turning my light off.
I try to think of a happy thought, focus on something, anything, but the creature is very terrifying!
There was a hand that looked like something dead that had decayed in water … I take a breath. "Expecto patronum," I cast, but for the first time since I learnt the spell only wisps of light escaped my wand.
It starts to literally suck the happiness now with a rattling breath. I hear the scream of my great grandfather David. The screams of him dying from the giant. Energy surrounds the dementor from it feeding off this horrible memory.
An intense cold swept over me. My eyes rolled up into my head. I couldn't see, screams filled my head, swirling white and screams ...
"Danni!" I hear Hermione call.
"Please stop," Whines Daphne.
I open my eyes to realize the lights were back on.
I cough.
"Here's some water," Daphne says passing me my water bottle with shaking hands.
I accept it immediately, my throat hurts.
"What, what happened?" I say.
They were looking at me with pity.
"Are you OK Danni?" Potter asks.
I find it difficult to speak I grab my bag to get chocolate out and eat a bit of it.
Hermione's been crying.
Silence. No wanted to talk.
It was a few minutes of silence then Professor Lupin walked in.
"You're up Danni, sorry I came back as quick as I could, drink this," Professor Lupin says then hands me a potion.
It's a potion to calm nerves.
I drink it gladly for I still felt shaky.
"What happen?" I say again.
"You - You and Harry passed out, oh it was horrible," Daphne cries then leaves the carriage in tears.
"What, what happened to your grandfather Danni?" Asks Weasley.
"I rather not talk about it," I say annoyed.
My throat was still sore so I had more water.
"OK, well I've given you the potion, I need to speak to the train trainer, glad you're looking a lot better now Danni," Professor Lupin says then leaves.
So only the four of us were left.
"Danni ..." Hermione says then starts sobbing.
"What did I say when I was out of it," I ask.
"I don't think I will get the words out of my head ..." Weasley says.
"WHAT did I say?!" I say angry. I have a certain Idea but I want to know for certain what.
"You screamed a lot, and you then you starting yelling David, grandad, grandad, David ..." Hermione stops and starts to blow her noise.
"Then you started to scream you monster, monster, how could you do this ...
"Stop, I don't want to hear any-more," I say.
I have more chocolate.
"Are you feeling better mate?" Weasley says to Potter.
"I am fine, please don't worry about me," Potter says.
I turn to Potter, "Did you get effected too?" I ask him.
"I passed out as well ... I woke up before you though," He says.
"Did, anyone else pass out?" I ask
"No," Hermione says.
Daphne, "I should find Daphne now," I say then stand.
"You're not going anywhere! I'll find her, you stay seated," Hermione replies.
She forces me back down to sit and leaves.
Daphne had come back with Hermione behind her.
The train started slowly down, it had reached the platform now. As I leave the train with everyone, Daphne grabbed my hand and gently squeezed it then let go.
I see the Thestral drawn carriages, the five of us go in.
"So that's why you see the Thestrals, your grandfather," Hermione says.
I stay silent after that, everyone kept staring at Potter and I to make sure we didn't faint on them again.
I exit from the carriage, no sooner had I left I was meet with a worried Draco, "Danni, I just heard from Neville, is it true then that you fainted and screamed due from the Dementor?" He says.
I took him aside so no one could hear us.
"Yes, it's true, when the Dementor came I tried to cast a Patronus charm, but I've only ever used it to cast messages I've never had to cast it when a dementor's been near," I say.
Draco looks around making sure no one could hear him, "I, I was so scared when I saw them Dan, I, I ran, So you're OK now?" He replies.
"Yes," I reply. Thanks to the potion.
"Miss Merida!" I hear Professor Snape call.
I turn to face him, "We need to talk in my office please," Professor Snape tells me.
I make my way into Snapes office.
"Danni please sit," He says.
He shuts the door and turns to me and crosses his arms.
"Are you OK? I heard what happened on the train, did the potion work?" He asks.
"Yes it was very lucky Professor Lupin had that with him," I reply.
"He didn't have it with him, I sent it," He snaps.
It's then Madam Promfrey enters the room, "I've just seen Potter but he told me you were effected worse than him," She says rushing in.
She grabs my wrist to check my pulse then checks my eyes. Then the temperature on my forehead.
"Hmph, still quite feverish, how are you feeling?" She asks.
"The calming potion and chocolate helped," I told her.
"Great, it's seems you have been treated, if you go to the feast and find it too much go to the hospital wing straight away," She replies.
She leaves muttering darkly that dementor's should not be allowed near children.
I walk in the great hall just moments before Dumbledore stood up for announcements. I hastily make my way to sit next to Daphne. He explains the dementor's presence and explains not to cause them grief, they wouldn't listen to pleading. After introducing the new teachers (Professor Lupin and that giant) we had the feast to enjoy.
Tori got her wish. Tori was really easy to talk to, just like her sister.
When it came time for the feast to end I noticed Potter and Weasley go to Hagrid. I suppose they are congratulating him on his new teaching post. I roll my eyes and leave with Daphne in toe.
The next day when I went to the Slytherin table everyone wanted to make sure I was OK. Even people from other houses were worried, a girl from charms club, Luna, came to see me too.
We were then given the new time table, "We have new subjects today, our first lesson is Home Economic Charms," Daphne tells me.
"I am dreading after lunch, I am honestly surprised that oaf is teaching, I mean seriously we were taught by Mr Binns how dangerous they are and now a giant is teaching us," Pansy says sulking.
"Not to mention the book he assigned us attacks us, just look at my hand," Draco says then shows us his bruised hand.
"You're lucky it just attacked your hand," Greg replies then points to his deep scratch on his cheek.
"I am ssssooo glad I won't be joining you in that class," I say, cutting in.
Draco grunts in annoyance.
Daphne and I head to home economic charms.
"Now as you may or may not know I am also the teacher of Muggle studies, Miss Charity Burbage is my name. I am so glad I am able to teach this subject, usually this subject isn't popular enough to run. This subject is a 'life skills' subject. I will be teaching you many things but mostly charms that you will use in everyday home life. This year we will focus on cooking. Yes we'll learn spells to make cooking meals easier but first I want to teach you cooking meals without magic then I will teach you the charms," She announces.
We were then split in pairs. Five pairs, there are only ten in the class Daphne and I are the only Slytherins. Five Hufflepuff and three Ravenclaw. There are two boys in this subject.
We then followed a recipe to make chocolate cake. Thank you Miss Burbage! We made the cakes the baby/muggle way. Miss Burbage walked around to make sure we were making the cake correctly. While the cakes were baking she wanted to demonstrate making the same cake with magic. She showed us a spell that makes the contents mix on its own, and a spell that empties the mixture in the cake tin without the mess. Also a Non sticking spell and a heating spell that will evenly cook the cake instantly.
She went on to explain that cakes were one the easiest foods to bake evenly with magic. We then made the small cake again practicing the spells she taught us.
"Now comes the fun part students, the taste testing!" Miss Burbage tells us.
Daphne and I tested our cakes, the one made with magic was way too salty, urgh! What went wrong?
"Yum these cakes are so yummy, I like them both," Daphne says.
"What? But the one made with magic is too salty, can't you taste that?" I complain to Daphne.
"No idea what you mean Danni," Daphne replies.
I eat another piece of the non salty cake, I like this class! I wonder why it tasted different for me. I get my book out and go to the recipe and read it again, I flip through the book to see if there were any answers.
"So how did the testing go?" Miss Burbage asks us.
"I find the one made with magic too salty, is there a reason for this?" I ask.
"Ah, well cast a salt counter spell, page 56 dear," She tells me.
I turn to page 56 and cast the spell to fix the salt problem. I try it again and it's fine now. I am a little confused as to why that happened.
"It's fine now, why did that happen?" I say.
"Magically altering food is hard and tricky process depending on the individual certain spells need to be added. For example I have to magically add salt to my food in the process. It looks like you need to remove any form of salt as part of your process to cook," She replies.
Miss Burbage then walked around the other pairs to find out if anyone else had problems. Only one other person had to alter her food, Susan bones had to add an extra heating charm due to the fact her cake was ice cold.
My next class wasn't until after lunch, I had Arithmancy with Hermione. Daphne had Magical arts.
"Hello class my name is Professor Septima Vector. Arithmancy is a subject that focuses on predicting the future with numerology and the study of magical properties of numbers. Now can anyone can guess what number has the highest magic property?" Mrs Vector questions us. Not surprisingly Hermione's hand goes up. I don't know this.
"Yes, Miss ...
"Granger, I actually don't know for sure but it's extremely common for muggles to say their lucky number is Seven, is that the answer?" She replies.
"Yes Miss Granger, that's correct the answer is Seven, that is one of the reasons why Miss Bridget Wenlock worked out her ground-breaking theorem on the magical properties of the number seven. The effects of that number not only effects the wizarding world but the muggle one. She attended Hogwarts in 1213 to 1220, she was put in Hufflepuff. Now can anyone tell me any worldwide known Sevens?" Mrs Vector says all this with excitement in her voice. This is a subject she is quite passionate about, she teaches similar to Mrs Prince.
"Yes Granger?" Vector says.
"Seven ancient wonders," Hermione replies.
"Yes, Mr Boot," Announces Vector to Terry's risen hand.
"Seven continents," Terry says.
I timidly put my hand up, "Yes Miss Merida?"
I can't believe I am going to say this, oh well.
"Colors of the rainbow," I say.
"Ah well yes, not only are you correct but leprechauns also have the ability to use the rainbows rays to make their gold, among other magical skills," Vector replies.
We then had to read more about Bridget Wenlock and complete an essay about her discoveries.
When I left the room Hermione and I get blocked by Weasley and Potter.
"Care of magical creatures was a disaster!" Weasel cries.
