I woke up a little dazed, I felt drained and confused. I looked around, I was not in my dorm. Though the room I was in seems to be decorated in my houses colors.
I heard a pop and then suddenly I saw Monty appear in front of me.
"You're awake Little Miss you past out after you bounded with the heart." the Old Elf told me.
"How long have I been out?" I asked still sleepy.
" not long you haven't missed dinner it's in half an hour the magical bounding was a lot stronger than it usually is, your magic is powerful it was felt around the grounds and I'm pretty sure the professors felt it too."
"Will that cause problems?"
"I do not believe so burst of magic to happen around the school often enough with all the magical creature around. Though we are lucky that the headmaster is not here at the moment but I do believe that the deputy headmistress professor McGonagall will be asking question soon. The elves are bound to you and will not speak any words of this to anyone so do not worry, but I would suggest that you speak with her soon, she is not like the headmaster she loved your parents and respect the school she has the students best interest at heart, she will know what is happening she will see the difference. The headmaster is focused on playing games and controlling everything to realize what is happening around him, the school has locked him out of most things because of his actions that have put some students in harm's way."
"So you want me to tell professor McGonagall the truth?"
"that is your choice to make, I can guide you through a lot of things but some things you need to decide for yourself, the war is coming we need to be prepared, you need to be prepared, all of us Magical Creatures rely on you succeeding in what your parents have started before you, you are our only hope of being free."
"You are free all of you here at Hogwarts your free."
"In the school we are, on these grounds we are free, but outside we are nothing but slaves to the wizards who believe themselves to be superior to all of us."
"we will just have to prove them wrong then won't we." the elf gave me a smile.
"We will and they will regret the day that they treated us as lesser beings."
I'll make sure they eat every last word they've ever said about them, that I promise.
I know that you will.
Can you do me a favor?
Of course Bella what do you need?
Ask Monty If he has seen Effie around.
"Monty, Bella wants to know if you have seen Effie around."
"You can talk to her while she is at Azkaban, which is truly amazing. Effie comes here sometimes if we need help, but I do believe she stays at Black Manor most days. Both Black Sisters make sure she is okay. I am sure she would come to you if you called for her. You are her Mistress's Soulmate."
"Thank you, may I ask where I am exactly?"
"You are in your Hufflepuff chambers, they are yours as are the Ravenclaws chambers, and it's located next to the common room of both houses."
I nodded, it made sense having the room of the founders of the houses next to there common rooms.
"Professor McGonagall is calling for me, I need to leave. If you need anything call for one of the elf's, they will be happy to help you." With that she disappeared leaving me a little confused.
How do I call them without knowing their names?
I think it has something to do with the bond. Can you feel them?
Yes but I How Can I call them.
Maybe with Your magic, I'm sure you will find a book about it in Helga's library. She was close with the elf's.
I will look around when I have time. I need to go to the great hall, I feel like I haven't eaten in ages. I stood up from the bed and left the room, the entrance was next to the Common room hidden by a portrait.
As I made my way towards the great hall, I could feel everything going around in the school it was overwhelming to say the least. The magic was going in and out of me flowing through the halls shifting the bricks, moving the stairs. It was incredible, it felt like I was in a new world.
The doors of the great hall opened and I was hit with wave after wave of magic. It was everywhere moving, dancing around the students.
The ghosts moving around felt familiar, as if there magic also moved around me. All of this was incredible, surreal.
I sat at the puffs table and looked on in wonder. Everything seemed clearer, the magic flew and twirled around the students. It was a privilege to witness something so special, unique.
"Watcher Hermione you okay?" said Tonks breaking me away from my musing.
"Everything is great, I'm just thinking. We haven't had time to talk yet." It told her.
"We can after dinner if you have time."
"Yes that would be great. Sit down I want to hear all about the prank you pulled on the Wesley twins.' She grinned widely and started telling me how she turned the twins Prank on them. Soon all the house was listening in and laughing at the Weasley twin expense.
"You laugh now, but we will get you back Tonks. You should watch your back." Fred said.
"Yes you should watch out" George agreed.
"I'm not worried I will always out smart you both." Tonks said confidently.
"You are on your own we are two we will find a way." They both said grinning.
"She isn't on her own we have her back." I announced making there grins widen.
"You're a first year,"
"What could you do?"
"You would be surprised." I responded.
"This should be fun." One of them said.
"May the best win." The other said extending his arm for me to shake. Oh I know what he is up to.
Cast Reversa as soon as you touch his hand. Bella told me gleeful.
I did as she told me and found soon found Fred on the ground. How high was that voltage, I thought it would shock me a bit but this, really?
The great hall fell silent at the scene, I felt the puffs take a defensive stand behind me. Georges ran to his twin, checking if he was okay.
Fred, to everyone's surprise burst out laughing.
"Good one firsty, you got me this time." He got up smirking before realizing that he was facing the entire Hufflepuff House and Ravenclaw.
"It was just a joke no need to get defensive." He said taking a step back.
"What is going on here?" A sterm voice said coming towards us.
"Professor McGonagall.'' Tonks announced.
"What is the meaning of this, stand down all you." She said sternly looking at my house expectantly but none of them moved. I could see her getting more aggravated by the second.
"Guys stand down now." I said lacing my voice with authority. As expected everyone tucked back in there wands but did not sit down, preferring to stand united behind me. Thank god the Headmaster is not here.
The Deputy Head mistress looked on shocked at the display of authority that she just witnessed.
"Sorry about that professor, but this is a misunderstanding nothing else." Tonks said stepping to my side.
"It was just a joke from our part." Fred and Georges said at the same time.
"What kind of joke sends you to the ground?" she questioned impatiently.
"I tried to shock the firsty but she reversed it sending the shock to me."
"Detention with me for a month both of you." She told the Gryffindor's.
"Mrs. Granger you will come with me to my office to clarify something's. And 50 points from Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw for lack of respect and going against a direct order." She turned around and made her way out of the hall. I followed her in silence aware of the outraged houses behind me. I sent them a smile to try and reassure them before exiting the great hall.
Sitting in front of one of my favorite professors who had a very serious expression on her face, was a little unnerving.
"Mrs. Granger, can you please explain to me how you were able to use Wordless and wandless magic." She asked looking at me expectantly.
Relief washed over me, I thought I was in trouble.
"I'm not sure professor, I didn't want to get electrocuted so I concentrated on the spell I knew would reverse whatever they were doing." She looked satisfied with my answer, magic is intention and high emotion after all. The right combination of emotion and intent could activate raw Magic.
""I understand, but there is still something I would like to talk to you about."
"Yes Professor?"
"Your house's reaction and the Ravenclaws, all of them drew there wands to defend you in seconds without waiting to see if you we being attacked or attacking. And then, when I ask them to stand down they ignore it. They waited for you to tell them before stepping down." She said suspiciously.
"I'm sorry to tell you this professor, but we protect each other's because you guys don't. The puffs and Ravens have always been close, through family relations or other, it was a normal reaction. It would have happened no matter who is was."
"We protect all our students, no matter what house they belong to." She said offended.
"You do, but not like you protect your Gryffindor's. If Professor Sprout or professor Flickwick had ask them to step down they would have." I said calmly trying to diffuse the situation.
"You defend your house above all others professor, we do the same." I continued.
"I understand where you are coming from Hermione but if anyone is in danger, houses don't matter."
"I agree Professor, I will talk to my housemates but professor Sprout would be better received than a first year. You should discuss this with her."
"Don't worry I will, you can go now. And please try to stay out of trouble."
"I will." I got up and left the room, her heart is in the right place but she still does not understand what we go through.
She does not, but maybe you will make her see some day. I know that you see her as a mentor.
Do you think I will be able too? I don't wish to lose her once she finds out the truth.
I hope so love, I really hope so.
