Palme let out a gasp, there were book lining every wall and several table stood with dozens if delicate sliver instruments whirring and clicking into place small rings of smoke came from one particular and she stared at if intently trying to see a pattern in it. why am I here it's a foolish thought performing a sending of all things for a world where this kind of magic may not work. A loud squawk came from in front of her, instinctively she reached for her staff pointing it at... a weak bedraggled bird, moulted red feathers collecting on a small try beneath it's small stand. It let out another loud squawk. I've seen such an ugly bird in my life.

"Ahh kind of you to join us Professor Diandar what was it use wish to speak to me about in private."

"In our world when people die they can choose to stay as an unsent or to go peacefully into the farplane. Those who died violently or with many regrets in particular do not leave to find peace, in our world our ghosts we call them unsent and many unsent regress into fiends though there are exceptions."

"I see, but I find no reason to be concerned our ghosts for they cannot hurt even if they wanted to, except for peeves but he has never done anything life threatening in the least,"

"The reason why I came to speak to you I because there is a ritual we often performed when there is death to lead them peace and eternal rest in memory, I believe some of your ghosts are suffering and wish for nothing more than to rest, and I've said to them that I would try, with all due respect I am asking for your permission to perform the sending".

"You call it the sending, is it dangerous?"

"No it's perfectly safe for the living to watch, the sending merely brings the parts of soul together and then lets them go on to the next journey"

"What if some ghosts do not wish to be sent?"

"Then they are to stay as far as possible from the lake when it is performed"l."

"Would sending work on a soul that has been fragmented, say a single piece of a soul placed into a book or ring, could you in theory send that fragment?"

"It's never been done before, in theory yes provided that the person who's soul was fragmented is truly dead, Aeons for example could be sent in theory but they are still needed by the living and thus choose to remain and to serve".

"Ahhh you have given me a lot to ponder, you have my word to perform the sending do whenever and where ever you deem suitable".

His thick eye brows burrow and his eyes closed deep in thought, it is then I decided it was time to go I had lesson planned with Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff third years. I bow in the same I have been taught in the temple and turn to leave,

"One last thing Palme it would be wise to inform all th ghosts at dinner about your plans giving them an option to stay or go"

"Of course Professor Dumbledor"

I turn to leave via the spiral staircase and out into the corrridor the gargoyle closing smoothly behind myself. Briskly I pace towards my class room where I would be expected to teach more hormonal third years. The rest of the day past by quickly, the third years had begun with the same material as the rest of the class. What surprised me the most was the dancing Moogle that one particular from a most eccentric student. Luna she called herself and she acted as though she were half listening though her impressive feat with the Moogle shocked the whole class. To test her ability further a handed her a spare Cactuar, oh my I thought to myself,perhaps she is far more talented then she lets on. It proved vigilante to giving her the Cactuar not only could she control it with ease she also managed to get it to fire needles into the class. Sad to say Erenie Macmillan looked truly horrific with small red welts dotted on his face. Thats what you get giving a Cactuar to a complete novice. I curse myself for my lack of insight and send all effected students to the hospital wing, needless to say Luna as one of the affected few. I'm such a slob, the class was an utter mess with loose papers and upturned desks luckily for myself it was the last lesson of the day. I had just begun to pick the papers up with Professor Lupin came into the class room.

"Let me help with that Palme,"

He lifted his wand and the whole class room reassembled papers stacked them selves into there respective piles, Moogle dolls landed back onto the shelves with a small plop and all the desks pulled them selves upright before the windows and doors snapped shut.

"Impressive spell whats the incantation for that one"

"Ludos Reddit"

"I will certainly remember that spell, every day after class there is such a mess"

"Tell me about it I had half the innards of a Lethifold strewn across the class room where we practising our Patronus charms".

"The sounds worse then being in the belly of an earthworm"

"Ahh well dinners in an hours time, in the mean could you perhaps engage with me a quick duel, I'm just curious of the full extent of your magecraft, against our magic"

"I shan't go easy on you I promise"

"I expect that but this old man still has some tricks left up his sleeves, to the staff room they have a dueling stage there"

We hurry off to practice our respective discipline against each other though I worried that my own power would fry him. We arrived in the staff room to see a few Members Silvia, Professor Sinistra and Hagrid. My rod in hand I stood opposite Professor Lupin.

"One rule the winner is the one who can stay on the platform the longest"

And we begun Remus let loose a few bolts of red light towards me, I quickly cast reflect swinging my rod in a circle forming a barrier of shimmering light before it dissolved into nothing. The red lights hit the invisible shield causing it flicker before they bounced off and back towards Remus. He dodged and sent a few more different spells at me, I poured my power into the staff deflecting the curses. I concentrated on my own spells slowly I twirled it I the air before a circle of blue light formed around Professor Lupin, a translucent shimmering blue clocked swung slowly before dissolving into the air, the expression on his face was mild anticipating something. I swung my staff high before casting a watera, Remus found himself soaked as the water squeezed around his form before collapsing down leaving him gasping for air. His reaction far to late to counter the spell due to the slow I just cast on him, now was there was plenty to cast an old favourite of mine. I swung the rod high simultaneous casting shell and protect raising my defensive powers higher.

"Petrificus Totalus"

I felt as if their were cold bands of iron trying to hold me down, I waved it off casting a quick Esuna negating the half weakened spell, he summoned a small flurry of birds and sent them like arrows towards me, the protect charm took the edge off their beaks and quickly I returned fire casting a quick thunder Dissolving the blue birds. Taking advantage of the slow still on lupin I cast a quick fira, a continued burst of flames surrounded himself before he conjured a cacoon of water dousing the flames, exactly what I wanted, Thunderaga a bolt lightning flew from my staff electricity flowing easily into the sphere of water he stumbled back and collapsed off the platform.

"Well played Palme"

I rushed to his side already beginning the Curaga that would heal the damage,he moaned in comfort as green and bluee light surrounded him causing the multiple burns to melt away into soft skin.

"All better now arn't we"

The staff room was quiet before the gossiping began, all them were commenting on the sheer force of the spells I cast compared to the refined defense spells they learned.

"No hard feelings?"

"None."

Remus smiled, accepting my hand up, his robes looked worse for wear but then again they were quite old to begin I myself had received no damage at all to myself and my robes were perfectly intact neat and ironed.

"The blast time I was beat up this bad by a girl must have years ago,"

"Well good to see your healthy respect for your human counter parts."

"Dinners still a while away how about tea here and a chat with the others motioning towards the other teachers."

Minerva excused walked into the staff room at that moment, her lips pressed thinly.

"I have some rather bad news I'm afraid, as most of you know the convict Sirius Black has been on the loose recently, we have reason to believe he'll be after Mr Potter, we have already taken precautions but please do be aware, for the safety of out students we must be on guard for his possible arrival".

With that her mouth was closed and the rest of the staff talked quietly among themselves, I turned to Lupin his face hardened by what Minerva had just told us.

"This Sirus what did he do exactly"

"He attacked a dear friend killing him and several muggles in broad day light before being apprehended by the Ministry".

"Oh I'm sorry for your loss".

"Don't be thats why you're here, to help us fight Voldermort when he eventually returns"

"Voldermort just who is he"

The name was unfamiliar if was a name I've never heard and sent a shiver down my spine.

"You really must be from far away, he was perhaps the greatest wizard ever to live second only to our Dumbledor, his power was so great and terrible most people refer to him as: he who shall not be named, you know who, the dark lord. Any of those, many great wizards and witches have been killed by him, those times when he and his death eaters were around were dark times until a mere child defeated him Harry Potter, Sirus Black was held responsible for giving away the hiding place of Lily and James they even named him god father but that didn't stop him from betraying them to voldermort, eventually Peter Pettigrew confessed to ministry about his betrayel, Sirus then found him and killed him leaving only a finger behind".

"Oh my so now you believe he'll try to kill harry as well"

"Yes but if it is within our power we will stop him, for he is only one man".

We stand in silence for a moment listening to all others talk about schoolwork, The Weasly Twins, Security Dementers, The Weasly Twins, ghosts, The Weasly Twins, Ministry interference,

"THE BLOODY WEASLY TWINS TURNED MY CLOSET INTO A SWAMP".

Argus Filch storms in eyes bent on murder, staring right at me.

"They used all the mage cradt whats it with those dolls they filled the closet with water and sent a tidal wave down the eastern hall".

"Really? The Weasly Twins must have more talent then they let on i suppose".

"Thats not the point"

He looks like he's going tear them apart limb by limb, lips open with a trail of saliva running down, he reminds a little of that priest in bevelle who was always raving and spitting on poor unfortunate passers by.

"I want to know what your bloody going to do about it

lifting up a some what soaked and pathetic looking moogle doll",

"Fine show my the damage i'll see what i can do"

Reluctantly i trail off to the eastern corridor smiling sadly at Remus who was hiding chuckle with great difficulty, i heard snippets of conversation words like:

"Told you so"

"Thats 10 sickels you owe me flitwick"

"This is just the start"

I came to the some what drowned eastern hallway, another moogle doll was do backstrokes in the water moving it's arms and causing small buckets full to rain down and collect and stopping as if hitting an invisble wall, i held up my staff this was not how i expected the twins to behave, strangely i felt relieved. I was thinking that this would be a whole lot worse like maybe setting the school partially on fire, or creating the world worst thunder storm from Grifindor tower. This was nothing a well controlled firaga would fix, i raise my staff swinging before releasing a monstrous amount fire instantly evaporating the water and destroying another moogle doll, I turned to see two red heads sneaking off behind us, I sighed another trick to show from my ever dwindling supply. Stop a more complex but another time related spell a swirl of blue light surrounded the twins capturing them and they stood frozen when the light faded.

"What did i say about practicing such spells, your lucky that they were only a water spells and not a very powerful one ether, if you lack control with your spells you will end up hurting yourself and your friends rather then your enemies, there is a reason why i set rules this form of magic requires which is why i'm going to give you both detention with at about nine o'clock be there sharp or i shall double it"

I turned to leave but filch interrupted,

"Err what do you do with them, not saying there bad like this infact i quite like them like it's just that i have to start cleaning ths place and i can't do it with them standing like stones"

"Oh yes sorry but i thing it will do them some good being like this, I'll let you off this time but next you'll standing still for an hour and two the time after that for misusin your moogles"

I felt filchs wide eyed joy at thought of two hours of no weasly twins, I waved my staff casting an esuna on both of them before turning, watching them move slowly there joint stiff from the stop spell, i walked briskly still glowing with the thought of taming The Weasly Twins, i turned the maze like corridors in hopes of finding the great hall i arrived to see a riot if ghosts floating aroung the table saying good bye creeping first years and the peeves, i had been for warned about his spiteful nature ducked a chair went flying towards my head.

"Theres miss Palme, Lying to her friends wrecking the calm,"

"She talks about killing us again, though we've died bloodied and maimed"

"She lost her wits, talking to twits and her dolls are crumbling into bits"

"Here we are new teachers at last, shame she won't send us into the past"

"That is enough peeves, lady Diandar please take a seat we are about to begin the anoucments".

I jog towards the staff table feeling hundreds of eyes upon me, even the usually smiling Hagrid was calm faced. i quickly moved into my seat and watched as Dumblefor began to address the crowd.

"Good news and bad The Weasly Twins have now broken the flooding record for set by moaning myrtle, the record was set quite a while ago and the sheer amount almost drowned Ms noris".

From the corner of my eye i could see the hint of a broad smile on Remus but paid no attention to it as motioned for myself.

"As you all now Professor Diandar has a fee things she would like to say of some whatimportance to our ghosts, take this a great oppurtunity toearn more about foreighn magic and there cultures"

I stepped to the pedestoll took a deep breath, you can do this palme this is nothing compared to what you've been through.

"It has come to my attention that not all ghosts are content about an etenity of haunting, some i believe wish to move to let go of regret and to move onto the next adventure, my people had a ritual of great power called the sending and summoners like myself would perform it when there were deaths and funerals the ritual is a way to guide the spirts to let go of past burdens and pain, it not only works with the recently deceased but also the deceased who are unwillingly or unable to go on. I myself would like to offer the chance to perform the sending for the ghosts of hogwarts, those wish to go follow me to the lake after dessert, those who wish to remain stay within the castle and avoid looking at the lake, those who wish to watch may come down to the lake after dessert as well, that is all i have to say".
