Chapter 7: Connections

'What in hell was that?' Araminta asked

'Ron Weasley, an older version of him,' Aurora answered. 'And he coming has raised the stakes.'

'What do you mean?' Araminta asked.

'What I mean is that he is the mortal enemy of your family and anyone that works for the light,' Aurora said. 'You're the one that we've been waiting nine hundred years for and Ill be damned if I let him destroy what your parents tried to protect."

'What are you talking about?' Araminta demanded.

Aurora took a deep breath. 'Back in Dumbledores office I told him that you had the power of the dragon flame and that there are others that have abilities beyond anyone's imagination but only you have something that the others will never have the instinct. You know what kind of magic someone is using, doesn't matter what kind of spell that comes out of their wand, and you can deflect it. It also means that you have an instant talent in every from of magic.

'That's how come you can brew a potion with ease, transfigure something quickly, charm anything, and know your plants.'

'How-.'

'I've been watching you ever since you were little. I know that you have the talent, I know that you're the Merlin, Aurora told her.'

'Me, what's the Merlin?' Araminta asked.

Yes, you, and the Merlin is a title given to a person that has extraordinary talent, someone with the talent, like what you have, Aurora said. And naturally your talent will be sought after by people that will want to use it for their own ends.

Like Voldemort, Araminta said.

'How do you know about him?' Aurora asked, looking at her.

'I've heard people talking,' Araminta said, 'Like they like to talk about me.'

'Then I must warn you about what will happen now that you know that you're the Merlin. The adult Ron Weasley will seek to take control of your talents but you must keep that from happening. You must tell your parents the truth about who you are.'

'But they won't believe me, like I'm having trouble believing myself,' Araminta said.

'True but I will help you,' Aurora said. 'And Dumbledore is very important in keeping you safe. Your father will stand beside you as will anyone that truly wishes for true light to come back. You, Araminta, represent everything that people have been waiting for and there will come a time that you will need to protect the people that count.'

'Like Harry.'

'Yes, like Harry', Aurora said.

Araminta didn't mind helping Harry out. He had treated her like a human being and the idea that she could help him was something that she was looking forward to even if she did have to put up with the younger version of Ron Weasley.

'Aurora, how can I help Harry out if I'm just a first year?'

'I've already told you that you can do anything without any problems,' Aurora told her. 'So don't worry about anything. However you'll need people to help you control your talent and then you'll be ready.'

'And then I'll be able to protect Harry.'

'Naturally, my young wizard,' Aurora said.

Araminta was relieved in hearing that.

A/N: Sorry about the short chapter. I'm going to be working on ways that I can keep the speaking parts without them being erased. So if things turn strange I'm just trying to keep from having to do extra work before you can enjoy the new chapter. Up Next: Hermione finds that some books are dangerous as she finds herself stuck in a bog as part of Araminta's first test and Araminta finds out that not all grounds are kid friendly as she's faced with her second test.
