A/N~ Chapter 3
"Thanks for taking me" I thank Aunt Minnie and head upstairs. I put my books down before I leaf through them to find: my first year transfiguration book.
"Aunt Minnie?" I call, walking downstairs.
"Yes, Hayley?" She responds from the library.
"Do you wanna work o transfiguration?" I ask hopefully.
"Sure" I see her sitting on one of the comfy armchairs in the library.
She hands me a string that I'm supposed to turn into a small ball of twine. "Flip to page three in your book. The spell is 'twineai stringai'" (made that up)
"Twineai stringai" With a flash, I now have a ball of twine sitting in front of me.
"You're the first person I have ever see to get that on the first try!" She says
"I get a lot of things on the first try. The first time I made spaghetti it was perfect"
"Oh, Severus is flooing soon. I suspect you'll want to show him what you just learned to do?"
I nod eagerly and grab a piece of string just as Uncle Sev walks in the door. "Uncle Sev! Look what I learned to do! Twineai Stringai" The string turns to twine.
"Good job Hayley!" He says proudly "Now, back to why I'm here: Hayley, how would you like to learn to fly?" He holds up a broomstick.
"Yes please!" I nod eagerly
"Okay" He leads me out into the grounds. "Mount your broomstick." I mount "And kick off" I kick off and begin to zoom around.
I go up really high and decide to fly REALLY fast towards the ground. I pull up at the very last second. I let go with one hand and let the grass tickle it. I fly back to Sev and dismount. "How was that?" I ask
"Better than I've ever seen somebody fly before second year! Even Draco Malfoy!"
"You know Malfoy?" I ask, shocked. "As in the annoying Malfoy who thinks that I should know him just because he has this weird name or something?"
He chuckles. "Sounds like Draco. Maybe you could fly with him?" Sev asks me.
"I'm up for that"
"I'll tell Minerva that I'm gonna bring Draco over here to fly with you. Don't die while I'm gone"
"Okay"
I mount and begin to do loop-de-loops. I do the diving thing again just as Sev comes back out with Malfoy.
"Hey." I greet, dismounting in front of Malfoy. "Wanna fly?"
"Sure" Malfoy says and takes off. "I bet I'm faster than you!"
"Oh yeah?" I take off, quickly catching up to him.
"Yeah!" He gapes as I zoom past him.
"Not!" I stop and let him catch up. "I bet you can't do this" I dive and pull up at the very last second to avoid going splat on the grass.
Malfoy flies down. "How long have you been flying?" He looks amazed.
"Since like five minutes before you got here"
"What?" He looks flabbergasted
"Uncle Sev taught me how to fly like five minutes before you got here"
"Uncle Sev?"
"He's also been teaching me potions"
"Uncle Sev?"
"Yes, Draco?" Sev has been watching us, clearly amused.
"Why does she call you that?" Malfoy asks
"I guess she sort of adopted me as a father figure"
I blush. "It's not like I had one before" I retort
"That is true. Anyhow, how would you like to show Draco how to make potions?"
"Do you want me to?" I ask Draco?
"Sure" While we walk to Minnie's lab we chat about school and summer plans like old friends.
"So what Hogwarts House do you think you'll be in? I'm almost definitely in Slytherin, but you've taken a liking to the heads of Hogwarts' house rivals"
"Slytherin would be nice, I am extremely cunning, but I would prefer Griffindor. Aunt Minnie says I am extremely brave"
"McGonagall? Is she Aunt Minnie?"
"Yes"
"They must really like you then"
"Minnie is teaching me Transfiguration and Ancient Runes. Sev has been teaching me Potions and Defense Against the Dark Arts."
"Figured he'd teach you those?"
"Why?"
"He wants the DADA position, but is stuck in potions"
"Oh"
We reach the potions lab and I summon the ingredients I need.
"Wait, how can you do that?"
"McGonagall helped me get a Visa"
I get out my cauldron and summon my potions book. Sev comes in.
"Use this one" He hands me a potion book with 'Half Blood Prince' scribbled on the inside.
"Thanks"
I flip to the potion I had recently mastered. Draco looks surprised at how far I've gotten, as I'm like pretty much done with the book. "Oh, there are instructions on how to do the potions faster!"
I follow the scribbled down instructions and the potion that usually takes over an hour to finish is done in fifteen minutes.
"You're good!" Draco says as I bottle my potion and store it in my robe's pocket
"Thanks" I say meekly. "Wanna see some transfiguration?"
"Okay"
"Accio transfiguration book!" My transfiguration books fly in and I change a chair into a muggle guitar.
"Do you play?" Draco asks.
"I'm surprised that you know what it is, but yes I do. Want me to play a song?"
"Yes!"
"She lives in a fairy tale
Somewhere too far
For us to find
Forgotten the taste and smell
Of the world that
she's left behind

ba da
ba ba da
da ba ba da (X4)" I finish with a light strum. I hear several people clapping behind me. I hadn't even realized that I turned around. I see Minnie, Draco, and Sev clapping loudly.
I blush. "Hayley, you didn't tell me you played!" Minnie scolds.
"Never came up" I say meekly and transfigure the guitar back into a chair.
"You've gotten better" Minnie says approvingly, making me smile.
"Why aren't you living in one of the Potter manors?" Draco asks.
"I have manors?" I gasp.
"Along with a few other full vaults at Gringotts, you have manors all over Britain and several other countries" Minnie says.
"I need to sit down." I sit on the chair that had been my guitar and promptly pass out.
A/N~ Thank you MeWithWings for reviewing and at least trying HP again. DON'T DISS THE HP! I happen to be more obsessed with Doctor Who than MR. My BFF has a life sized standup of 11! I read Harry Potter in first/second grades, so it was my first obsession. I went to HP land in second grade for my birthday just as I finished the books, so that was fun. I was the only second grader to ride The Dragon's Challenge. It's based off the first task in book four, and you're hanging from a metal dragon, going like ninety miles an hour, and also goes upside down. Needless to say, I was too scared to scream. XD. Please review! Review if Hayley should get together with: Fred, Draco, George, Cedric, or Krum. I'll start a poll which will be on my profile. You can do that or review or both.
