Thank you to Noelle Seren and EnchantedWords17 for reviewing! You two are my favourite darlings.

….

OK, well equal favourite darlings. BlackBlueNSilver wouldn't like it if she got left out. And in that vein I dedicate this chapter to her, just because she's amazing.

Lily's POV

I found that keeping busy was very easy when you had new powers, and school , and homework and your friends all giving you migraines. I understood and begrudgingly accepted the first, half the time liked the second, understood the importance of the third but in all honesty I was ready to kill those involved in the fourth.

It's a normal Friday afternoon. Last period Potions. Sometimes a bore, sometimes a pain, but today was cool because instead of brewing Professor Slughorn got Nicolas and Perenelle Flamel to talk to the class. I was a little star struck admittedly, but come on, wouldn't you be to? But everything was going smoothly when Kelsey jumped up and started screaming curses at Sirius, who was sitting next to her after the two just recently became partners (FYI forcing James and I together, which wasn't too bad).

Everyone was a little confused as the two had become friends in the last few , not counting the pranks, the two had not said a bad word to each other. But I couldn't help but cringe when I heard Sirius utter the five words that truly condemned him. I needn't know what had previously been said, because if Sirius had not uttered those five ungodly words Kelsey probably would have forgiven him. But now, those words...well.

"But you're just a girl!" Sirius cried. Then slap! Kelsey's delicate hand flew through the air and met it's mark with Sirius' cheek.

"You whiny little weasel! You foul mouthed, pubescent, pea brained idiot! That's it, I will not put up with you at all," she screeched before storming over to James and I.

"See ya Lils," he mumbled to me, catching Kelsey's intentions of switching back and not wanting to get in her way.

"Bye James," I said out of the corner of my mouth, not wanting to incur her wrath.

When the class resumed, albeit tensely, I lent over to Kels. "What in the holy name of Merlin was that?" I asked her quietly.

"I will never speak of that incident again," Kelsey stressed under her breath.

I knew I wasn't going to get anything out of her so I turned to face the front. I had a strange feeling that Kelsey would take an extra personal hand in our next Gryffindor prank.

~AOAR~

It was lunch time and we were all sitting outside in the sun eating token goods from the kitchen. Everyone was relaxed and unfazed as we had the rest of the school day to enjoy ourselves (our Astronomy practical lesson took place at night).

Ali was dancing along the edge of the lake, Ciara was lent up against a tree and Kelsey and I were lying together in the grass talking about the whole mental messaging thing and how we could incorporate it into our next prank when we hear this giant splash!. Everyone looks up to see white foam around the spot where Alice evidently fell into the lake. We all rush over to try and get her out. All any of us could make out was this blur.

"She looks like she's struggling against something!" Ciara said, a little panicked.

"The giant squid?" Kelsey asked, eyebrow creased in worry.

"How do we get her out?" I asked, ignoring what had her at the moment but more focused on how to get her out.

"I know!" Ciara said, grabbing her wand and looking hopeful that this would work, "accio Alice."

All of a sudden the blur came racing towards the three of us and fell on top of our bodies, causing us to fall onto our backs. We all manoeuvred ourselves out from under Ali's still body and knelt around her. Everyone was silent for a moment, when I felt something I didn't altogether understand but I was pleased with nonetheless.

"I can feel her spark!" I said, relief flooding my veins.

"Her what?" Kelsey and Ciara asked.

"Her spark! I can feel it, you know, with my spirit power!" It's flickery but it's definitely there," I said, now outright grinning, before realizing I didn't know what to do with said information.

"Well can you like, jump start it or something?" Kelsey queried, eyebrows creased again in her classic problem solving expression.

I closed my eyes and placed my hands over her chest. I felt the spark and I tried to submerge myself in it. For a moment all I was doing was observing and feeling the outside, in her body but not inside the spark. Then it felt like I fell, as if I plunged into the lake as well. I opened my eyes and found i was lying flat on my back in a room that was filled with gold and red hangings. It looked to belong in a beach house, and I could smell and hear what had to be the ocean outside a window. But where was I? Why was I near an ocean, or a house at all?

I looked around and I saw a bed and upon closer inspection a sleeping Alice was lying in it. I went over to her and shook her.

"Alice, Alice! Wake up!" I urged, shaking her some more.

It took a minute or two but eventually she woke up. "Lily?" she said groggily, but that was all I heard as my world went black again.

When I next opened my eyes I found I was back by the lake. The first thing I saw was Kelsey leaning over me, eyes wide.

"Ciara, she's awake!" she cried, leaning back, enough for me to see Ciara leaning over Alice who was in the same state as me.

"What happened?" Alice asked when the others had helped the two of us sit up.

"We need Dumbledore," I said simply, and Ciara and Kelsey aided me an Alice and we all made our way up to Professor Dumbledore's office.

~AOAR~

"I believe that Ms. Prewett was very close to dying, but her spirit, or her spark as Ms. Evans refers to it," Professor DUmbledore said with a small smile in my direction, "was reluctant to let go of her body. Understand that Ms. Evans cannot simply bring the dead back to life but if, like Ms. Prewett was, a person's spark is still in their body, even if they are only maintaining a slim connection, then Ms. Evans can do what she did today. Of course, the weaker a hold the harder it will be, and therefore the more it will take out of her physically and mentally. Ms. Williams, I believe you want to be a Healer, is that correct?"

"That is sir," Ciara said with a nod.

"Then, with the permission of you four, I wish to inform Madam Pomfrey of only your powers so that she may offer support in the same way I do. And I also believe it will be handy for you to devise a way to keep pepper up potions on you at all times Ms. Williams, at the very least two, because you do not know when you will need them, and until you four get stronger they are a necessity," he told us.

All good guys? I asked mentally, receiving affirmative nods. I turned to the Professor. "We are fine with that Professor, and we'd like you to thank Madam Pomfrey as well. Come to think of it, would you like a list of our powers, at least to the extent we know?" I asked. I thought it'd be good for him to have.

"Yes, that would be very helpful Ms. Evans, thank you. I will make sure to keep it on my person at all times," he said as Ciara handed him the parchment she always carried with her, just so no one saw it lying around and decided to pick it up and read it.

As Professor Dumbledore perused the list we all sat quietly, waiting for him to speak.

"I find some of your abilities quite interesting," he admitted, "Ms. Evans, your whole ability with the elements, and all that entails you to do is incredible. Ms. Prewett do you really have control over your visions?" he asked, actually sounding shocked.

She gave a small smile. "I do sir. I have better clarity and can see further ahead when they come to me naturally but of my own volition I can see about a month ahead, give or take a week."

"That is very impressive," Dumbledore said, "all your gifts are. I hope you use them wisely, and yes Ms. Stevens I do speak specifically to you. Try not to antagonise everyone with your gift."

"No promises sir," she said with a cheeky grin.

Dumbledore tucked it into the inside of his robes and stood up. "Well ladies, I believe it is dinner time, so why don't I escort you down to the Hall?"
