A/N: School starts on Monday for me, so I'm not sure when I'm going to post, but I'll keep writing it for sure. If you're bored or need some reading material, you can check my one shot about the Founders: "Life gives second chances" and tell me what you think. In the second half of Christmas(first day of Christmas), they'll have a big surprise from Hogwarts ;))
Chapter 13: Burst of power
The last week passed fast, without any events, or so it seemed for everyone else.
On Tuesday I saw Minnie writing a letter. When I entered the room, she suddenly stopped. I took a look into her mind. It was for Mrs. Weasley. But I didn't want to know what was it about.
On Thursday night I went to the teachers room to say goodbye.
"I'll miss you all. But I'll be back and I'll be be careful with my powers."
"About that, we came to the conclusion that you don't need to hide your powers. Your magical core is of a grown-up since birth so you dont have the Trace on you." Sev said
"But you should still be careful not to be seen by anyone while using your powers."
"Ok, Minnie. I'll be careful."
I headed back to my common room but suddenly saw in another's mind two familiar redheads with identical expressions I never saw: Threatening.
Draco's mind
"We won't tell..."
"...you twice, Malfoy..."
"...we're always going to..."
"...protect her so you should..."
"...be very careful about..."
"...what you say to her..."
"...and everything."
"Or else,you'll..."
"...see how protective..."
"...we can get"
Draco flinched, both his forearms turning a
violent shade of red and daggers appearing on them. Maybe he kept his arms uncovered in anticipation.
Selene's point of view again
Anyway, the only things I knew were that the twins looked terrified of his arms and that I felt my head heating and my eyebrows being pushed into a frown. They were threatening him!
I made my way to the Gryffindor tower and waited in front of the portrait hole, invisible. As soon as their mops of red hair appeared in the room, I took both of them by their ears and dragged them to our corner. Making a magical border between us and the rest of the room, I put a silencing spell on it and turned to the guilty looking pair.
"WHAT ON EARTH YOU THOUGHT YOU WERE DOING??!?!?!?!!!? "
"We were trying..."
"...to protect you."
"I didn't need that. You're scaring him. He's just eleven. I know him better than you do. Don't judge him by his family."
"Did he do anything..."
"...to earn your trust?"
"He saw The Dream. And he still loves me. He's not becoming a Death Eater when Voldemort will come back."
"Oh, we didn't..."
"...know that."
"Of course you didn't. I didn't tell you. Never mind. Did you two pack your things? Tomorrow we're going to your house."
"Ok, we know that..."
"...you're excited, but calm down..."
"...flame hair."
"Oh, shove off you two. I'm going to sleep. See you tomorrow."
"Good night,sleep..."
"...tight, don't let the..."
"...fear keep you up at night."
Next day, I didn't really concentrate at the lessons or anything, and before I realized, it was time to leave. On the train, I stayed in a compartment with Harry, Ron and Hermione, while Fred and George went to find Lee.
"Ron, again, how many siblings do you have?"
"Six. Five brothers and a sister. But Bill and Charlie aren't home so it will be just the four of us, Fred, George, Percy, Ginny, Mom and Dad."
"Wow. A lot of people. I bet it will be wonderful. I don't have any siblings. Just me and my parents." Harry put his hand on the birthmark.
"Harry, are you ok ?" Hermione asked
"Yeah, just my scar hurt a little. I'm fine."
I frowned. Maybe he could sense the lies that were about him...
The rest of the ride we talked and I and Hermione taught Harry and Ron how to play muggle cards.
When the seven of us got to the Burrow, Ginny, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were waiting for us in the garden. They showed us our rooms. I was going to stay with Ginny and Hermione and Harry with Ron.
At the dinner, Mrs Weasley kept telling us how skinny we were and she constantly filled our plates. But she also kept looking at me. I wondered if it was about the letter...
After dinner, we all stayed in the living room till about two in the morning talking about how was the start of the year and telling stories about ourselves. When I was asked about my family, Fred and George saved my by interrupting me and telling jokes.
We went to sleep, thinking tomorrow it's going to be a beautiful day, without trouble, but that didn't mean we were right.
Hermione and Ginny left the room early in the morning but around ten, I was still sleeping. Because I didn't answer when they called for me, Ginny came and started shaking me. I didn't wake up so she went down to take Mrs Weasley to help her. But shaking me...that was a terrible idea, cause it woke up my magic.
When Mrs Weasley and Ginny entered the room, a scared squeak startled me out of my sleep, and I could've screamed when I realized why was the girl scared: I was floating about one and a half meters above the ground in the middle of the room, with my long, silver blue hair wrapped around me. When I realized that, I fell with a thump on the floor. Remembering of Ginny and Mrs Weasley, I turned my hair back to brown and relatively short.
I gathered all my courage and stood up and looked at the two in front of me. Ginny looked, but Mrs Weasley had a strange look on her face, as she shouted happy
"Finally!"
A/N: Sorry for the Cliffhanger, but it's more interesting this way :)). Please review
