Chapter 21 (Actual 21)

"So I will be able to teach you what I can, but please you must remember I will have to go away for a few days at a time because I still have to finish some of my own training." Andrea explained. The group were all seated in the kitchen where Andrea was explaining some things to them.

"Is there anything we should start with? I mean we are going back to school soon?" Hermione asked from where she was sitting between Harry and her mum.

"We will start this afternoon with mind magics and I have some light reading for the two of you and Sirius I would suggest you start reading tonight." At this both Harry and Sirius groaned but Hermione was exited about getting more books to read.

Andrea pulled het satchel closer and started digging around. Soon her whole arm and part of her head was in the bag. "Sorry," she said from inside her satchel, "I have a tendency to misplace books…" After a few more moments of digging, she pulled out five small books, the size of match boxes.

At seeing this, Hermione was quite a bit crestfallen but Harry and Sirius looked relieved. "Oh, thought you were talking about actual books!" Sirius said. Andrea looked at him with an eyebrow raised. Touching the first book in the middle, she started folding it open more and more… Till it was the size of an A3 paper. Then the book popped up. She did this with the other books as well. Hermione was bouncing in her seat from joy, her parents were enjoying seeing more magic, Remus looked very interested in the books… And the other three occupants in the room looked less than thrilled, "I am so glad I'm not you guys! You're going to read for ages!" Tonks commented.

Harry looked over at Andrea, "What are the books about?" She smiled, "I'm glad you asked!" She dug around in her bag again, pulling out a small square golden box. She placed it on the table and looked at everybody before talking again, "The books range from history (Sirius groaned and face palmed), control in regards to the elements, rules and guidelines of being an elementilist and the last two books, which will be read last," Andrea put the two red books to one side, "Will be read only when I fetch the third one."

Harry looked at Andrea, "Fetch it? From where?" Andrea smiled softly before answering, "No need to worry, it is in safe hands."

"What about the box?" Hermione asked. Andrea smiled brightly. "Well! The first one to master something, will be rewarded. It's just a little something to motivate you to learn."

Mr. Granger leaned forward a bit to inspect the box. "A little something? Maybe. But seeing that it's in what appears to be a solid gold box, it makes one wonder!" Mrs. Granger elbowed him and motioned for the others to ignore him. They laughed silently at Mr. Granger's expense.

Andrea gave the purple history book to Sirius, the blue book of rules and guidelines to Harry and the green book about control to Hermione.

"Unfortunately, I have to force you to read no less and no more than two hours every night from these books." Hermione wanted to object, but Andrea stopped her. "No Hermione. No more than two hours. You will understand my silly rules soon enough. They are there for a reason." Hermione nodded and observed the book in her hands in more detail.

"Right then! I think a good lunch and then a nap for you three (Sirius raised an eyebrow) before this afternoon!"

After lunch, Harry and Hermione made their way to their rooms. They only had an hour to rest and they had a funny feeling they were going to need all the rest they could get.

Sirius pulled Andrea to the side, "And why exactly do I need a nap?" Andrea smiled at him, "Because what we are going to do later is actually very tiring and seeing that there are three of you who will be doing this for the first time together, it would be best if we got some rest else one or more of us may collapse."

Andrea picked up an apple from the bowl near her and smiled at Sirius before going to her assigned room.
