Rated: PG
Disclaim: We do not own, I repeat do NOT own Harry Potter. JK Rowling owns Harry Potter. Would we be writing fanfic if we did…. I, Selena Silvermoon, own Hempstead, the le Therone family, the Hardings, the Hearths, the Granaldis, and the Kasmirs. AS well as any characters that you do not recognize and the torture I have put Mrs. Rowling's poor creations through.
Now on with the story…
1.1.1 Chapter Eight: Setting the Scales Part Two
"We warned you three about showing unneeded sides of the Society to students and professors of this school. You shall each spend one week mucking stalls for your disobedience." Headmaster Hatyn said as he caught sight of their fangs and glowing eyes.
"Headmaster we had no choice. For some reason the phoenixes did not deliver our needed food items this morning and that left us fiending. You always told us in our briefings that HAGS would supply us with what we needed as not to cause things like this to happen. Angel passed out in the middle of History of Magic and when she snapped out of it she had vamped. We are entirely sorry sir. We just felt the need to get her away from the innocent witches and wizards in there but in order for us to go near her without the threat of getting hurt we also vamped." Val retorted.
"Oh my let me see the girl." Mistress Carnelian swooped down on Angel. She quickly examined Angel and stood up. "This girl will not be changing till tomorrow morning."
"That's because Selena sedated her and took all of the energy into her Mistress Carnelian that is why Angel is fine." Hermione came out from in the shadows.
"How are the Hearths and Mister Gryffindor doing? Have the experienced the need for their first hunt yet?" Headmistress de Maria asked.
"Not yet Madame but in all actuality they should be fiending by dinner tonight because they have been using their powers whether they know it or not. And Miss Granaldi here will be in about fifteen minutes since she has already vamped." Selena stood rather shakily.
Mistress Carnelian closed her eyes and muttered something. Seven sealed silver goblets appeared in front of her on Dumbledor's desk. She handed one to each of the students and then turned to Dumbledor.
"Sir I need the others in order to keep them from vamping like Miss le Therone did earlier."
"No problem." Albus walked over to his fireplace. "Madame Pince could you please send Harry Potter, Virginia Weasley and Ronald Weasley. Go ahead and send them through this fire since it is open." Harry, Ginny and Ron stepped out of the fire and glanced around. They were startled to see the Headmistress and Headmaster as well as Mistress Carnelian standing in Dumbledor's office. ~ Bow, now before they realize that you have no manners. ~ Val told the trio telepathically. All three paid their respects to the three visiting HAGS officials. Mistress Carnelian handed each one a goblet.
"Drink all of it now." Was all she said.
The three drank it and set down the goblets. Suddenly a white haze filled the room. The haze swirled around the Society members. When the haze faded Angel, Selena, Val and Hermione's disguises faded and they were returned to their rightful images. Val's hair had turned red at the ends and lengthened to about his ears while his eyes flashed emerald green while the blue faded. Angel had grown two inches, her eyes had small gold stars form in them and gold and green streaks filtered through her hair. Selena's eyes had changed from blue to a misty green with small brown stars in them and her blonde hair had turned a rusty brown with purple and silver streaks. Hermione's bushy brown hair faded to waist length blonde hair with pale purple hi-lights she grew till she was five and a half feet tall and her eyes turned green with little yellow stars in them.
A surprise rested in the forms of Harry, Ron and Ginny. Harry had grown till he stood at six foot tall; his hair had lengthened till it reached his chin, the ends looked like someone had dipped them in blood, his emerald eyes now had a gray mist in them like an angry cloud waiting to shock them all, his tan darkened and his overworked body took on the muscles that his disguise had denied him from having. Ron grew till he reached six foot three, his red hair became darker with the addition of white hi-lights and his eyes turned purple and orange. Ginny had the most drastic change out of all of them. Ginny's red hair faded till it was strawberry blonde with dark red and copper hi-lights her height stayed at five foot six whereas her eyes turned yellow with a red star in each. Suddenly the misty haze returned and outlined sixteen people of varying heights and ages. It was clear who three of them were.
"Draco Malfoy, Lavender Brown, and Blaise Zambini. Everyone that is outlined have been chosen by the mists to represent Hogwarts at Hempstead. When everyone has signed up tonight those names will turn blue and the only thing we have to do is make sure they pass the entrance tests. Now Headmistress and Headmaster how do you suggest we test them?" Ginny said after she found her voice.
"What kind of tests had you planed on giving them?" Headmaster Hatyn asked.
"We were thinking about quizzing them of Magical History, Magical Creatures and sports that gives us three tests and for a final qualifying round we could use something like an obstacle course that is set up to test their ability to handle situations that may arise I real life. If those are to you liking we will announce them at lunch."
"Well Mr. Hearth those are to our liking. Now Sir Dumbledor is there anything you would like to know. You surely must not like the idea of your students disappearing off to another school without you knowing anything about it." Headmistress de Maria asked sweetly.
"Yes there is something that you and your school could do for me. I would like to see your school and meet your staff before my students leave here. Could that be arranged?"
"Of course it can be arranged. We are having a ball tonight you can accompany the students home if you wish. You should enjoy the Embassy ball. It is going to be both Magical and Innocent. The leaders from sixty magical countries and seventy-five innocent countries will be attending. I do believe that your Minister of Magic is representing England along with a Mr. Lucius Malfoy."
"Headmistress de Maria may I interrupt you for a second."
"Not now Selena."
"Headmistress as the heir to the thrown I demand to say a word to you right now."
"Selena le Therone you are not supposed to pull rank on your teachers what would your mother think?"
"She would thank me for keeping an official dark wizard off of the island. Mr. Malfoy is the son of Marianna Celeste Malfoy Hearth when she left on Quartet she married a Dark Wizard and subsequently all of her children have been as Dark Arts prone as she was when she was in school. Please do not allow him to attend. His son Draco, one of our transfers, will vouch that his father is into the Dark Arts and is working for their Lord Voldermort. Voldermort is a Dark Wizard that rivals Lord Kremor." Selena said as her eyes changed to a shocking color of blue.
"Thank you Miss le Therone you might have just saved us the trouble of having to kill him. I will inform the Minister that Albus Dumbledor instead of Mr. Malfoy will accompany him." Headmaster Hatyn turned back to Dumbledor. "Well we must be going."
"Please stay for lunch the classes have just ended. You could have a tour of our school."
"That would be lovely Albus. I am quite sure that some of the students wouldn't mind giving us a tour after lunch before returning to their afternoon lessons." Headmistress de Maria said smiling at her students.
"Very well, if you wouldn't mind following me the children will go to their dorms and then come down to lunch." A bell sounded and the students were all heading to the Great Hall. Everyone followed Headmaster Dumbledor from his office where the students turned to run to their common room and the HAGS Professors followed Dumbledor. The seven Gryffindors threw their stuff onto their beds and grabbed their DADA books and everyone but Hermione grabbed their divination books. Kali, Ques and Apple appeared and began to put away everyone's belongings. They left and arrived two minutes later outside of the Great Hall. Dumbledor stood outside the door with a professor, the three HAGS representatives.
"Ah, there you seven are. Selena, Val, Angel would you three like to escort and introduce your Professors into the Hall?"
"With pleasure Headmaster Dumbledor. But first we need to do something." Angel answered as she closed her eyes. Her Hogwarts robe melted away to reveal a simple HAGS uniform. The uniform began to shift into a full-length blood red dress with a plunging neckline and rubies sewn into the trim. Selena changed her uniform into a dress like Angel except for hers was a sapphire blue with moonstones strewn across the fabric. Val took their lead and changed into a tux. They tried to activate their disguises and failed. Hermione tried hers as well only to be met buy the same results. Nothing. All seven turned to their Professors confused. "Headmaster why can't we change back into our disguises?"
"That white haze must have done something. You seven will just have to deal without disguises. Now who besides me is starving?" Mistress Carnelian answered.
"The Headmaster and I will escort each other. Angel you will escort Mistress Carnelian and Val you will escort the Princess. Now lead on Professor when you introduce us we shall enter." Headmistress de Maria said. Albus and the other professor entered the Hall and walked up to the front.
~ Ginny, Ron, Harry and Catilia take off your Hogwarts robs. You are going to be entering as HAGS students so you need to dress the part. Just follow our lead. It's a whole big etiquette thing for meals. ~ Val thought to the others. ~ Here goes nothing. ~
"Students we have a few special guests. First off we have our new Defense Against Dark Arts professor. Mr. Remus Lupin. His classes will be taught outside on the Quidditch pitch until he tells you otherwise. And for our other guests. You all know about our exchange with Hempstead Academy for Gifted Students. We are very pleased to have their Headmistress, Headmaster and Mistress of the Infirmary. Please show them the utmost respect for their term here." Hermione stepped out from the group in the corridor and walked up to the front of the Great Hall. All eyes were on her as she began to speak.
"Please welcome Headmistress Lilee de Maria escorted by Headmaster Nicholas Hatyn, Mistress Circe Carnelian escorted by Princess Angel Persephone Ashelia Rea le Therone and Crown Princepessa Selena Daphne Athena Kima le Therone escorted by Lord Regent Valerian Harding. I would like to also introduce you to HAGS students that are among the Hogwarts student body Ronald Hearth, Virginia Hearth, Harold Gryffindor, and myself Catilia Granaldi. Thank you." The Headmaster and Headmistress walked up to the Teachers table with Mistress Carnelian. The students stood and clapped while the seven HAGS students walked to the front of the room and paid their respects to the teachers and then returned to their seats. All around them they could hear catcalls and a few whispered comments about the HAGS students.
* Hey you guys listen to this. * Val projected the conversation into their minds.
"Man they don't make them that way at Hogwarts."
"What am I chopped liver?"
"Compared to those two Gryffindors yes you are lower than chopped liver."
"Why you insufferable pig."
"No I am Draco Malfoy and you are Pansy Parkinson who deserved to have that horse fertilize you."
"Draco come sit with me."
"Coming Blaise. At least some Slytherins have manners and decency."
* Isn't that sweet Pansy finally got what was coming to her? And Draco is sticking up for two Gryffindors. What has happened here? *
* Selena did you have something to do with this? You aren't supposed to mess with people's minds or their free will. *
* I did nothing of the sort. Oh and by the way all of you. * Everyone's eyes turned towards her. * I want you guys to be nice to Blaise and Draco. I am having them moved into our dorm by tonight. Ginny, Ron, I have something to talk to you about as well tonight. Now I have a few people to go make drool. You don't mind right Val. *
"Go ahead baby. Just no petting. I love watching you work." Selena stood up and sauntered over to the Slytherin table and approached Draco. ~ Great every eye in the whole Hall has to be on me at the moment doesn't it. I wish they would find something else to watch. ~
~Why is Selena coming over here? Shouldn't she be with the other Gryffindors? Why are they all sitting over there as cool as cucumbers just watching. Like everyone else in the Great Hall. ~ Draco thought as Selena approached him.
"Draco, Blaise, how are you two this afternoon?" She smiled and Draco and Blaise made room for her between them at the end of the table.
"We're fine thank you, Princepessa isn't it." Blaise said as she, for the first time since she was little, smiled.
"Yes, my real name is Princepessa Selena le Therone Night Harbor Royal Family."
"My grandmother used to talk about a place called Night harbor before she died. She used to tell my dad stories about the magic and the riches of the Society."
"The very same place."
"How come everyone including our textbooks says that they died out?" Blaise asked as she ate some of her soup.
"Are you two going to sign up for the exchange to HAGS? We would love to have you come to our school."
"We are. We were discussing this earlier. Anything else Princepessa you are causing quite a stir?" Draco asked.
"Oh yes. Could you two please meet me outside of the Library after dinner?" They both nodded that they would be there. "Great see you later." She walked away and retuned to her seat at the Gryffindor table.
"So how did it go? Are they going to join us?"
"They agreed to meet me and me alone outside the library tonight after dinner. I will tell both of them the truth and offer them places in the septet. You know that is all that I can do. They have to accept their histories on their own and it won't help if the Gryffindors in general won't accept them as one of us." Selena said Gryffindors really loud. Suddenly the whole of Gryffindor was talking and pretending that they hadn't been listening to every word. People started leaving to go to class.
"Well do you five want to help us escort the Headmistress and Headmaster around the building?"
"Nah we are going to go to DADA. See you outside when you are done." Hermione dragged the other three out of the Great Hall and down the front steps to the pitch.
Val, Selena and Angel approached the Head Table. Selena and Angel curtsied to the teachers while Val bowed.
"We are here to escort you around the castle." Val said. Headmaster Hatyn, Headmistress de Maria, Mistress Carnelian, and Headmaster Dumbledor stood up.
"If you don't mind I would like to accompany you. Maybe you would have some suggestions on how to spice up Hogwarts."
"Of course Headmaster Dumbledor as it is your school. You three can dress down if you want to seeing as if you will need to be in full regalia tonight."
"Thank you Mistress Carnelian." The three answered together. They changed into their regular uniforms and continued on down the deserted halls. They toured the castle from the highest tower to the deepest dungeon for about two uninterrupted hours. A bell rang and the halls filled with students going in every which direction. Another bell rang and once again the halls were deserted. As they walked Angel made a mental map of the castle that she could place in her pensieve later when she was alone. They arrived at the gargoyle guarding Dumbledor's office. "Headmaster, Headmistress, Mistress Carnelian we take our leave and shall return an hour after dinner to escort you to the Ball. Headmistress please allow for a seven-student delegation from Hogwarts. They shall remain with us at all times; the seven students are a few of the transfers that have already been selected. We will make sure that they are dressed correctly. Mistress Carnelian we will be needing three more goblets in order to insure that we don't have a mistake like this mornings at the Ball. That would embarrass not only the school but the throne as well." Selena said.
"In your chamber girls. Now how many students do you have left to choose?" Headmaster Hatyn asked.
"Thirteen sir. We will have them selected by Saturday next." Angel answered.
"Acceptable. Good day students till the Ball." Headmaster Hatyn said as the three HAGS professors followed Dumbledor to his office. Val, Angel and Selena materialized to the Divination tower. They climbed the ladder to the musty classroom where Sybil Trelawney haunted and terrorized her students.
"The spirits have informed me that you are Selena le Therone, Angel le Therone and Valerian Harding. Take a seat with Mister Potter. Now we will begin our lessons on predictions. Predictions must be taken very seriously. When Fate decides she wants to tell you your destiny it because its set in stone. So I want each of you to meditate and open you mind up to any thoughts that may appear. Use one of these quills and tell it your name, age and the date. The quill records all that you say while in your trance." She led them through breathing and relaxing exercises. When she woke everyone up they began to look at their papers. "Now I want an essay due on three of your predictions. Class dismissed." Everyone left the stuffy room in a hurry. Hermione met the six in the common room.
"How about we do our HAGS work now so that we can relax tonight?" Ginny said as she pulled the canvas bag out of her school bag.
"Since its Friday it electives day. You need to take a test to what classes you have to take. So have fun. Does anyone else have free time this afternoon? You are going to need twenty uninterrupted minutes to take the aptitude test."
"Yeah the first years have flying lessons, second and fourth years are taking double lessons and the third and sixth years are taking elective while the seventh years are in a study period for the NEWTS." Hermione barely looked up from her computer as she answered. Twenty minutes later a blue screen appeared over the sofa where Angel was sitting. Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny walked over to it. Angel grabbed the screen from the air and pulled it into her lap.
"Okay, lets see. Catilia Granaldi: English (1-5) Master, Heredity (1- 2) Advanced, Science (4-5) Advanced, and History (1-3) Standard. Virginia Hearth: English (1-5) Master, Heredity (1-2) Standard, Science (4-5) Advanced, and History (1-3) Master. Ronald Hearth: English (1-5) Advanced, Heredity (1-2) Standard, Science (4-5) Standard, and History (1-3) Advanced. Harold Gryffindor: English (1-5) Advanced, Heredity (1-2) Standard, Science (4-5) Master, and History (1-3) Master. All of you passed Master in Innocents. Congratulations."
"How good is that?" Ron asked as he flopped into a chair.
"There are four degrees of education at HAGS. They are Master, Advanced, Standard and Substandard. Substandard means you have failed and will retake the course, Standard means that you passed… not good not bad. Advanced means that you know what you are talking about and most of that is from memory. Master means that you know it cold inside and out. To get Master you have to be at the end of a course and it means that you can either stop taking the class or advance to the next level. You can take these tests again three weeks before transfer to verify your classes." Angel looked around for Selena.
* Sel, where are you? * Angel asked her sister.
* I'm… busy…. Angel… I'll… be… out… in a minute…. * Selena replied before cutting Angel off.
~ What is Selena up to now? Oh, I see… Val is missing as well…. Goddess I can't wait till I can see Toni. ~
Selena and Val walked out of the HAGS dorm a few minutes later each wearing grins on their faces. They had both changed out of their school clothes and into something presentable enough for them to return home in a few hours. Selena was wearing a dress Carolina blue silk with a deep blue velvet trim. Kali and Apple dragged Hermione and Angel into their rooms with Ginny following along of her own free will. Ques came out and dragged Ron and Harry back into the dorm. Selena and Val laughed as each landed on their beds before they returned to the sofa in front of their dorms fire.
It was twenty minutes later before dinner when the common room was bustling with people that their dorm door opened again. The normally loud room went strangely silent. Val and Selena entered first looked around the room.
"May I present Sir Harold Potter, Sir Ronald Weasley, Lady Virginia Weasley, and Lady Hermione Granger. Followed by my twin Princess Angel, my self Princepessa Selena and Lord Regent Valerian." Selena. The pair stepped aside and Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Angel exited the room. Ginny and Hermione were wearing dark blue mid thigh length skirt that were covered in twinkling stars their shirts were simple black sheer shirts with triangle sleeves covered only by a thin HAGS blazer. They had swirls of glitter and ancient runes done over their bodies in henna. Ron and Harry were dressed in baggy jeans with tight black shirts and the same HAGS blazer as the girls. Angel was wearing a sheer mid thigh length dress with slit three quarters sleeves. All five of them snapped and were dressed in fine clothes like that of Val and Selena. Ron's silk shirt matched Hermione's silvery blue dress while Harry's matched Ginny's emerald green dress. Angel's dress was blood red with darker red velvet. Everyone in the common room was flabbergasted and silent. With a sudden rush of noise everyone was talking at once asking the septet questions.
Angel silenced everyone with a glare before she spoke. " Okay everyone its dinner time you can ask us questions at dinner tonight and tomorrow at lunch. Now I do believe that we all need to be getting to dinner." Angel walked over to the portrait hole and ushered the septet out of the room. They arrived in the Great Hall with a few minutes to spare and most of Gryffindor trailing behind them. On either side of the door was a crowd of people talking to a poster. Hermione and Ginny had charmed the poster to not allow itself to be written on but only announced verbally. They had overheard Angel ranting to Selena about people not having enough guts to admit out loud that they were signing up and that the whole thing should have been verbal. Dumbledor wasn't at his normal place at the Head Table. Snape was glaring at Professor Lupin while Minerva was shooting daggers with her eyes at Sybil who was predicting the results of a test that the Charms students had just taken.
Suddenly the doors flew open and I strode Dumbledor with Fawkes perched on his shoulder. He walked up to the front table and faced the quieting sea of faces.
"Students and Faculty, I have an announcement to make. I am establishing a few new classes. The following optional classes have been added to the current curriculum, Heredity, Fighting, History of the Gifted, Languages and Physical Education. History of Gifted and Languages will be taught on Saturday mornings and Heredity and Fighting after lunch. Physical Education will be taught after dinner. Fighting will also be taught after dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. New teachers will be arriving in the morning and classes will begin tomorrow. Anyone wishing to sign up for the pilot program needs to see Professor McGonagall after dinner." Dinner flew by with questions being asked by everyone. After Dumbledor had dismissed everyone Hermione dragged Lavender up to the common room. Selena headed towards the Library with Draco and Blaise inconspicuously following behind. Draco and Blaise approached the library to find that Selena was nowhere to be found.
"Hello Draco, Blaise. Ever so lovely for you to join me. " Selena slipped her cloak form her shoulders and appeared in front of the pair. "Now down to business. My sister and I would like to invite you both to a party at our school."
"Are you sure that we would fit in?" Blaise asked as she slipped her cloak tighter around her shoulders.
"My dear you will fit in more than you know. Now if you would like to attend the party we will be leaving in three quarters of an hour." Draco and Blaise stood in silence while they contemplated their decisions.
"I'll go. Its time for me to grow up anyways." Draco looked up from the floor as he spoke.
"Sure. Why not?" Blaise answered smiling.
"Okay before we leave you need to come with me." Selena turned on her heal and walked away towards the Gryffindor common room. The pair followed her not wanting to get lost. As they approached a painting of a fat lady in a pink dress Selena stopped. "I want you both to swear yourselves to secrecy this is the Gryffindor common room. You are both moving into the HAGS dorms, located within this common room, tonight. Rooms are already ready for you and your private articles have been moved into your rooms. The password is Royale. You two maybe the only the Slyths to ever set foot in the Gryfs domain so Dumbledor has set some ground rules. You can't fight with anyone or you go right back, you can't tell anyone the password or you go back, you can't let anyone in to the Gryffindor common room unless they are a Gryf or they are in the transfer or you go back. If you cannot abide by these rules not only will you go back to the Slyths but you will taken off of the transfer list. Understand?" they both nodded.
"Royale." The Fat Lady swung forward and all three entered the common room. There was instant pandemonium in the common room. Many wands were raised and aimed at the three students that had just entered. "Wingardium Leviosa." Selena muttered as she raised her right hand palm up towards the ceiling. Everyone's wands flew out of their hands and floated about three feet above their heads, just out of reach.
"I am ashamed of every last one of you." Angel and Val stuck their heads out of the door to their dorm. "Blaise and Draco will be staying with us in the HAGS dormitory. Anyone who wishes to debate my reasons why may see me in the morning. Now please excuse us." Draco and Blaise followed her into their new common room. As the dorm slammed shut the wands all fell. "There are eight rooms on each level and four levels in all. This bottom level contains seven bedrooms and a library. Every other shares a bathroom. You two have rooms eight and nine on the second floor. Your belongings have already been brought up and you share a bathroom. HAGS has provided you with Temperance uniforms, as they are equivalent to the Slytherin house. A pair of NHS street clothes is on each of your beds along with a school blazer and the proper attire for going to my house. Please be fully dressed and back down here in fifteen minutes.
Blaise and Draco went upstairs and got dressed. Draco's shirt was burgundy while Blaise's dress was pale purple. They arrived downstairs to see Hermione and Ron arguing with everyone else watching intently.
"Can't you ever take your nose out of a book?"
"Can't you talk about something besides Quidditch for once?"
"Can't you live in the real world?"
"Your just mad because I am top in the year."
"Silencio." Angel flicked her hand at them. They struggled to talk only to find themselves unable. "Fighting will get us no where. You two will stop this childish bickering right now. We will not have you making a fool not only out of yourselves but out of Hogwarts, your families and us as well. Now can you two behave?" Hermione and Ron nodded. "Good. Fini" lavender came down the stairs.
"Excellent we are all here. Now we have to teach to materialize."
"Do what?" Ron asked quietly.
"Materialize. No more interrupting. Close your eyes and imagine yourself disappearing from one place and reappearing in another. Catilia show them if you would."
Catilia disappeared from the sofa in a shower of pale purple petals and reappeared on the third floor balcony. Then she reappeared on the sofa.
"Now Ginny try to make it to the sofa over there." Ginny disappeared in a flurry of sparkling snow. She reappeared on the sofa. They spent ten minutes teaching everyone to materialize to various parts of the dormitory. They materialized down to Headmaster Dumbledor's office.
"Cinnasnaps." Harry whispered to the gargoyle. It leapt aside. Headmaster Dumbledor was coming down the stairs.
"Good evening Headmaster." Selena curtsied. "Ready to leave Sir?"
"Of course Miss le Therone." Professors Lupin and McGonagall came down the stairs behind the Headmaster. "Oh children, Professor Lupin and Professor McGonagall would like to come with us."
"As you wish it." Selena smiled to cover the fact that she was annoyed.
"We need to leave now." Angel said trying to take Selena's mind off of the professors.
"Before we leave they need to drink their goblets." Val said as three goblets appeared and floated in front of Draco, Blaise and Lavender. They looked at each other confusedly and looked around at the others. "Just drink them everything will be fine." They didn't look like they believed him but they swallowed the contents of the goblets anyways. Lavender looked like she was going to hurl and Blaise looked slightly uncomfortable.
'What the hell was that?' Draco thought to himself as he let go of the goblet.
* Will you stop being so loud? You are giving me a headache. * Harry told him telepathically. Draco's head shot up and he looked around. Harry and Ron laughed for a minute before being silenced by a glare from Angel. Suddenly the same blinding white light as before surrounded Draco, Blaise and Lavender. Lavender's hair became white with purple streaks, her eyes turned violet and her skin darkened to a deep tan. Blaise's waist length black hair shortened and straightened till it stopped half way up her neck. Her eyes turned gold with black flecks and her skinned darkened as she shrunk to about four foot five inches. Draco's platinum blonde hair became laden with dark red and blue streaks. His eyes tuned gold with a red crescent moon shaped spot in each. Professor McGonagall's jaw dropped.
"No questions. Time to go." Selena said as Angel and Val took their places next to Selena. "Please form a circle around us. Hold hands." Selena, Angel and Val formed a triangle in the center. The group gathered in the Headmaster's office reluctantly linked hands.
"Teleport casa le Therone, Isla Night Harbor." Angel and Val echoed Selena as she spoke. With a flash of light the thirteen people disappeared. No one noticed the rat scurry out of the room and through the castle to the forest.

Rated: PG
Disclaim: We do not own, I repeat do NOT own Harry Potter. JK Rowling owns Harry Potter. Would we be writing fanfic if we did…. I, Selena Silvermoon, own Hempstead, the le Therone family, the Hardings, the Hearths, the Granaldis, and the Kasmirs. AS well as any characters that you do not recognize and the torture I have put Mrs. Rowling's poor creations through.
Now on with the story…
1.1.1 Chapter Eight: Setting the Scales Part Two
"We warned you three about showing unneeded sides of the Society to students and professors of this school. You shall each spend one week mucking stalls for your disobedience." Headmaster Hatyn said as he caught sight of their fangs and glowing eyes.
"Headmaster we had no choice. For some reason the phoenixes did not deliver our needed food items this morning and that left us fiending. You always told us in our briefings that HAGS would supply us with what we needed as not to cause things like this to happen. Angel passed out in the middle of History of Magic and when she snapped out of it she had vamped. We are entirely sorry sir. We just felt the need to get her away from the innocent witches and wizards in there but in order for us to go near her without the threat of getting hurt we also vamped." Val retorted.
"Oh my let me see the girl." Mistress Carnelian swooped down on Angel. She quickly examined Angel and stood up. "This girl will not be changing till tomorrow morning."
"That's because Selena sedated her and took all of the energy into her Mistress Carnelian that is why Angel is fine." Hermione came out from in the shadows.
"How are the Hearths and Mister Gryffindor doing? Have the experienced the need for their first hunt yet?" Headmistress de Maria asked.
"Not yet Madame but in all actuality they should be fiending by dinner tonight because they have been using their powers whether they know it or not. And Miss Granaldi here will be in about fifteen minutes since she has already vamped." Selena stood rather shakily.
Mistress Carnelian closed her eyes and muttered something. Seven sealed silver goblets appeared in front of her on Dumbledor's desk. She handed one to each of the students and then turned to Dumbledor.
"Sir I need the others in order to keep them from vamping like Miss le Therone did earlier."
"No problem." Albus walked over to his fireplace. "Madame Pince could you please send Harry Potter, Virginia Weasley and Ronald Weasley. Go ahead and send them through this fire since it is open." Harry, Ginny and Ron stepped out of the fire and glanced around. They were startled to see the Headmistress and Headmaster as well as Mistress Carnelian standing in Dumbledor's office. ~ Bow, now before they realize that you have no manners. ~ Val told the trio telepathically. All three paid their respects to the three visiting HAGS officials. Mistress Carnelian handed each one a goblet.
"Drink all of it now." Was all she said.
The three drank it and set down the goblets. Suddenly a white haze filled the room. The haze swirled around the Society members. When the haze faded Angel, Selena, Val and Hermione's disguises faded and they were returned to their rightful images. Val's hair had turned red at the ends and lengthened to about his ears while his eyes flashed emerald green while the blue faded. Angel had grown two inches, her eyes had small gold stars form in them and gold and green streaks filtered through her hair. Selena's eyes had changed from blue to a misty green with small brown stars in them and her blonde hair had turned a rusty brown with purple and silver streaks. Hermione's bushy brown hair faded to waist length blonde hair with pale purple hi-lights she grew till she was five and a half feet tall and her eyes turned green with little yellow stars in them.
A surprise rested in the forms of Harry, Ron and Ginny. Harry had grown till he stood at six foot tall; his hair had lengthened till it reached his chin, the ends looked like someone had dipped them in blood, his emerald eyes now had a gray mist in them like an angry cloud waiting to shock them all, his tan darkened and his overworked body took on the muscles that his disguise had denied him from having. Ron grew till he reached six foot three, his red hair became darker with the addition of white hi-lights and his eyes turned purple and orange. Ginny had the most drastic change out of all of them. Ginny's red hair faded till it was strawberry blonde with dark red and copper hi-lights her height stayed at five foot six whereas her eyes turned yellow with a red star in each. Suddenly the misty haze returned and outlined sixteen people of varying heights and ages. It was clear who three of them were.
"Draco Malfoy, Lavender Brown, and Blaise Zambini. Everyone that is outlined have been chosen by the mists to represent Hogwarts at Hempstead. When everyone has signed up tonight those names will turn blue and the only thing we have to do is make sure they pass the entrance tests. Now Headmistress and Headmaster how do you suggest we test them?" Ginny said after she found her voice.
"What kind of tests had you planed on giving them?" Headmaster Hatyn asked.
"We were thinking about quizzing them of Magical History, Magical Creatures and sports that gives us three tests and for a final qualifying round we could use something like an obstacle course that is set up to test their ability to handle situations that may arise I real life. If those are to you liking we will announce them at lunch."
"Well Mr. Hearth those are to our liking. Now Sir Dumbledor is there anything you would like to know. You surely must not like the idea of your students disappearing off to another school without you knowing anything about it." Headmistress de Maria asked sweetly.
"Yes there is something that you and your school could do for me. I would like to see your school and meet your staff before my students leave here. Could that be arranged?"
"Of course it can be arranged. We are having a ball tonight you can accompany the students home if you wish. You should enjoy the Embassy ball. It is going to be both Magical and Innocent. The leaders from sixty magical countries and seventy-five innocent countries will be attending. I do believe that your Minister of Magic is representing England along with a Mr. Lucius Malfoy."
"Headmistress de Maria may I interrupt you for a second."
"Not now Selena."
"Headmistress as the heir to the thrown I demand to say a word to you right now."
"Selena le Therone you are not supposed to pull rank on your teachers what would your mother think?"
"She would thank me for keeping an official dark wizard off of the island. Mr. Malfoy is the son of Marianna Celeste Malfoy Hearth when she left on Quartet she married a Dark Wizard and subsequently all of her children have been as Dark Arts prone as she was when she was in school. Please do not allow him to attend. His son Draco, one of our transfers, will vouch that his father is into the Dark Arts and is working for their Lord Voldermort. Voldermort is a Dark Wizard that rivals Lord Kremor." Selena said as her eyes changed to a shocking color of blue.
"Thank you Miss le Therone you might have just saved us the trouble of having to kill him. I will inform the Minister that Albus Dumbledor instead of Mr. Malfoy will accompany him." Headmaster Hatyn turned back to Dumbledor. "Well we must be going."
"Please stay for lunch the classes have just ended. You could have a tour of our school."
"That would be lovely Albus. I am quite sure that some of the students wouldn't mind giving us a tour after lunch before returning to their afternoon lessons." Headmistress de Maria said smiling at her students.
"Very well, if you wouldn't mind following me the children will go to their dorms and then come down to lunch." A bell sounded and the students were all heading to the Great Hall. Everyone followed Headmaster Dumbledor from his office where the students turned to run to their common room and the HAGS Professors followed Dumbledor. The seven Gryffindors threw their stuff onto their beds and grabbed their DADA books and everyone but Hermione grabbed their divination books. Kali, Ques and Apple appeared and began to put away everyone's belongings. They left and arrived two minutes later outside of the Great Hall. Dumbledor stood outside the door with a professor, the three HAGS representatives.
"Ah, there you seven are. Selena, Val, Angel would you three like to escort and introduce your Professors into the Hall?"
"With pleasure Headmaster Dumbledor. But first we need to do something." Angel answered as she closed her eyes. Her Hogwarts robe melted away to reveal a simple HAGS uniform. The uniform began to shift into a full-length blood red dress with a plunging neckline and rubies sewn into the trim. Selena changed her uniform into a dress like Angel except for hers was a sapphire blue with moonstones strewn across the fabric. Val took their lead and changed into a tux. They tried to activate their disguises and failed. Hermione tried hers as well only to be met buy the same results. Nothing. All seven turned to their Professors confused. "Headmaster why can't we change back into our disguises?"
"That white haze must have done something. You seven will just have to deal without disguises. Now who besides me is starving?" Mistress Carnelian answered.
"The Headmaster and I will escort each other. Angel you will escort Mistress Carnelian and Val you will escort the Princess. Now lead on Professor when you introduce us we shall enter." Headmistress de Maria said. Albus and the other professor entered the Hall and walked up to the front.
~ Ginny, Ron, Harry and Catilia take off your Hogwarts robs. You are going to be entering as HAGS students so you need to dress the part. Just follow our lead. It's a whole big etiquette thing for meals. ~ Val thought to the others. ~ Here goes nothing. ~
"Students we have a few special guests. First off we have our new Defense Against Dark Arts professor. Mr. Remus Lupin. His classes will be taught outside on the Quidditch pitch until he tells you otherwise. And for our other guests. You all know about our exchange with Hempstead Academy for Gifted Students. We are very pleased to have their Headmistress, Headmaster and Mistress of the Infirmary. Please show them the utmost respect for their term here." Hermione stepped out from the group in the corridor and walked up to the front of the Great Hall. All eyes were on her as she began to speak.
"Please welcome Headmistress Lilee de Maria escorted by Headmaster Nicholas Hatyn, Mistress Circe Carnelian escorted by Princess Angel Persephone Ashelia Rea le Therone and Crown Princepessa Selena Daphne Athena Kima le Therone escorted by Lord Regent Valerian Harding. I would like to also introduce you to HAGS students that are among the Hogwarts student body Ronald Hearth, Virginia Hearth, Harold Gryffindor, and myself Catilia Granaldi. Thank you." The Headmaster and Headmistress walked up to the Teachers table with Mistress Carnelian. The students stood and clapped while the seven HAGS students walked to the front of the room and paid their respects to the teachers and then returned to their seats. All around them they could hear catcalls and a few whispered comments about the HAGS students.
* Hey you guys listen to this. * Val projected the conversation into their minds.
"Man they don't make them that way at Hogwarts."
"What am I chopped liver?"
"Compared to those two Gryffindors yes you are lower than chopped liver."
"Why you insufferable pig."
"No I am Draco Malfoy and you are Pansy Parkinson who deserved to have that horse fertilize you."
"Draco come sit with me."
"Coming Blaise. At least some Slytherins have manners and decency."
* Isn't that sweet Pansy finally got what was coming to her? And Draco is sticking up for two Gryffindors. What has happened here? *
* Selena did you have something to do with this? You aren't supposed to mess with people's minds or their free will. *
* I did nothing of the sort. Oh and by the way all of you. * Everyone's eyes turned towards her. * I want you guys to be nice to Blaise and Draco. I am having them moved into our dorm by tonight. Ginny, Ron, I have something to talk to you about as well tonight. Now I have a few people to go make drool. You don't mind right Val. *
"Go ahead baby. Just no petting. I love watching you work." Selena stood up and sauntered over to the Slytherin table and approached Draco. ~ Great every eye in the whole Hall has to be on me at the moment doesn't it. I wish they would find something else to watch. ~
~Why is Selena coming over here? Shouldn't she be with the other Gryffindors? Why are they all sitting over there as cool as cucumbers just watching. Like everyone else in the Great Hall. ~ Draco thought as Selena approached him.
"Draco, Blaise, how are you two this afternoon?" She smiled and Draco and Blaise made room for her between them at the end of the table.
"We're fine thank you, Princepessa isn't it." Blaise said as she, for the first time since she was little, smiled.
"Yes, my real name is Princepessa Selena le Therone Night Harbor Royal Family."
"My grandmother used to talk about a place called Night harbor before she died. She used to tell my dad stories about the magic and the riches of the Society."
"The very same place."
"How come everyone including our textbooks says that they died out?" Blaise asked as she ate some of her soup.
"Are you two going to sign up for the exchange to HAGS? We would love to have you come to our school."
"We are. We were discussing this earlier. Anything else Princepessa you are causing quite a stir?" Draco asked.
"Oh yes. Could you two please meet me outside of the Library after dinner?" They both nodded that they would be there. "Great see you later." She walked away and retuned to her seat at the Gryffindor table.
"So how did it go? Are they going to join us?"
"They agreed to meet me and me alone outside the library tonight after dinner. I will tell both of them the truth and offer them places in the septet. You know that is all that I can do. They have to accept their histories on their own and it won't help if the Gryffindors in general won't accept them as one of us." Selena said Gryffindors really loud. Suddenly the whole of Gryffindor was talking and pretending that they hadn't been listening to every word. People started leaving to go to class.
"Well do you five want to help us escort the Headmistress and Headmaster around the building?"
"Nah we are going to go to DADA. See you outside when you are done." Hermione dragged the other three out of the Great Hall and down the front steps to the pitch.
Val, Selena and Angel approached the Head Table. Selena and Angel curtsied to the teachers while Val bowed.
"We are here to escort you around the castle." Val said. Headmaster Hatyn, Headmistress de Maria, Mistress Carnelian, and Headmaster Dumbledor stood up.
"If you don't mind I would like to accompany you. Maybe you would have some suggestions on how to spice up Hogwarts."
"Of course Headmaster Dumbledor as it is your school. You three can dress down if you want to seeing as if you will need to be in full regalia tonight."
"Thank you Mistress Carnelian." The three answered together. They changed into their regular uniforms and continued on down the deserted halls. They toured the castle from the highest tower to the deepest dungeon for about two uninterrupted hours. A bell rang and the halls filled with students going in every which direction. Another bell rang and once again the halls were deserted. As they walked Angel made a mental map of the castle that she could place in her pensieve later when she was alone. They arrived at the gargoyle guarding Dumbledor's office. "Headmaster, Headmistress, Mistress Carnelian we take our leave and shall return an hour after dinner to escort you to the Ball. Headmistress please allow for a seven-student delegation from Hogwarts. They shall remain with us at all times; the seven students are a few of the transfers that have already been selected. We will make sure that they are dressed correctly. Mistress Carnelian we will be needing three more goblets in order to insure that we don't have a mistake like this mornings at the Ball. That would embarrass not only the school but the throne as well." Selena said.
"In your chamber girls. Now how many students do you have left to choose?" Headmaster Hatyn asked.
"Thirteen sir. We will have them selected by Saturday next." Angel answered.
"Acceptable. Good day students till the Ball." Headmaster Hatyn said as the three HAGS professors followed Dumbledor to his office. Val, Angel and Selena materialized to the Divination tower. They climbed the ladder to the musty classroom where Sybil Trelawney haunted and terrorized her students.
"The spirits have informed me that you are Selena le Therone, Angel le Therone and Valerian Harding. Take a seat with Mister Potter. Now we will begin our lessons on predictions. Predictions must be taken very seriously. When Fate decides she wants to tell you your destiny it because its set in stone. So I want each of you to meditate and open you mind up to any thoughts that may appear. Use one of these quills and tell it your name, age and the date. The quill records all that you say while in your trance." She led them through breathing and relaxing exercises. When she woke everyone up they began to look at their papers. "Now I want an essay due on three of your predictions. Class dismissed." Everyone left the stuffy room in a hurry. Hermione met the six in the common room.
"How about we do our HAGS work now so that we can relax tonight?" Ginny said as she pulled the canvas bag out of her school bag.
"Since its Friday it electives day. You need to take a test to what classes you have to take. So have fun. Does anyone else have free time this afternoon? You are going to need twenty uninterrupted minutes to take the aptitude test."
"Yeah the first years have flying lessons, second and fourth years are taking double lessons and the third and sixth years are taking elective while the seventh years are in a study period for the NEWTS." Hermione barely looked up from her computer as she answered. Twenty minutes later a blue screen appeared over the sofa where Angel was sitting. Hermione, Ron, Harry and Ginny walked over to it. Angel grabbed the screen from the air and pulled it into her lap.
"Okay, lets see. Catilia Granaldi: English (1-5) Master, Heredity (1- 2) Advanced, Science (4-5) Advanced, and History (1-3) Standard. Virginia Hearth: English (1-5) Master, Heredity (1-2) Standard, Science (4-5) Advanced, and History (1-3) Master. Ronald Hearth: English (1-5) Advanced, Heredity (1-2) Standard, Science (4-5) Standard, and History (1-3) Advanced. Harold Gryffindor: English (1-5) Advanced, Heredity (1-2) Standard, Science (4-5) Master, and History (1-3) Master. All of you passed Master in Innocents. Congratulations."
"How good is that?" Ron asked as he flopped into a chair.
"There are four degrees of education at HAGS. They are Master, Advanced, Standard and Substandard. Substandard means you have failed and will retake the course, Standard means that you passed… not good not bad. Advanced means that you know what you are talking about and most of that is from memory. Master means that you know it cold inside and out. To get Master you have to be at the end of a course and it means that you can either stop taking the class or advance to the next level. You can take these tests again three weeks before transfer to verify your classes." Angel looked around for Selena.
* Sel, where are you? * Angel asked her sister.
* I'm… busy…. Angel… I'll… be… out… in a minute…. * Selena replied before cutting Angel off.
~ What is Selena up to now? Oh, I see… Val is missing as well…. Goddess I can't wait till I can see Toni. ~
Selena and Val walked out of the HAGS dorm a few minutes later each wearing grins on their faces. They had both changed out of their school clothes and into something presentable enough for them to return home in a few hours. Selena was wearing a dress Carolina blue silk with a deep blue velvet trim. Kali and Apple dragged Hermione and Angel into their rooms with Ginny following along of her own free will. Ques came out and dragged Ron and Harry back into the dorm. Selena and Val laughed as each landed on their beds before they returned to the sofa in front of their dorms fire.
It was twenty minutes later before dinner when the common room was bustling with people that their dorm door opened again. The normally loud room went strangely silent. Val and Selena entered first looked around the room.
"May I present Sir Harold Potter, Sir Ronald Weasley, Lady Virginia Weasley, and Lady Hermione Granger. Followed by my twin Princess Angel, my self Princepessa Selena and Lord Regent Valerian." Selena. The pair stepped aside and Harry, Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Angel exited the room. Ginny and Hermione were wearing dark blue mid thigh length skirt that were covered in twinkling stars their shirts were simple black sheer shirts with triangle sleeves covered only by a thin HAGS blazer. They had swirls of glitter and ancient runes done over their bodies in henna. Ron and Harry were dressed in baggy jeans with tight black shirts and the same HAGS blazer as the girls. Angel was wearing a sheer mid thigh length dress with slit three quarters sleeves. All five of them snapped and were dressed in fine clothes like that of Val and Selena. Ron's silk shirt matched Hermione's silvery blue dress while Harry's matched Ginny's emerald green dress. Angel's dress was blood red with darker red velvet. Everyone in the common room was flabbergasted and silent. With a sudden rush of noise everyone was talking at once asking the septet questions.
Angel silenced everyone with a glare before she spoke. " Okay everyone its dinner time you can ask us questions at dinner tonight and tomorrow at lunch. Now I do believe that we all need to be getting to dinner." Angel walked over to the portrait hole and ushered the septet out of the room. They arrived in the Great Hall with a few minutes to spare and most of Gryffindor trailing behind them. On either side of the door was a crowd of people talking to a poster. Hermione and Ginny had charmed the poster to not allow itself to be written on but only announced verbally. They had overheard Angel ranting to Selena about people not having enough guts to admit out loud that they were signing up and that the whole thing should have been verbal. Dumbledor wasn't at his normal place at the Head Table. Snape was glaring at Professor Lupin while Minerva was shooting daggers with her eyes at Sybil who was predicting the results of a test that the Charms students had just taken.
Suddenly the doors flew open and I strode Dumbledor with Fawkes perched on his shoulder. He walked up to the front table and faced the quieting sea of faces.
"Students and Faculty, I have an announcement to make. I am establishing a few new classes. The following optional classes have been added to the current curriculum, Heredity, Fighting, History of the Gifted, Languages and Physical Education. History of Gifted and Languages will be taught on Saturday mornings and Heredity and Fighting after lunch. Physical Education will be taught after dinner. Fighting will also be taught after dinner on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. New teachers will be arriving in the morning and classes will begin tomorrow. Anyone wishing to sign up for the pilot program needs to see Professor McGonagall after dinner." Dinner flew by with questions being asked by everyone. After Dumbledor had dismissed everyone Hermione dragged Lavender up to the common room. Selena headed towards the Library with Draco and Blaise inconspicuously following behind. Draco and Blaise approached the library to find that Selena was nowhere to be found.
"Hello Draco, Blaise. Ever so lovely for you to join me. " Selena slipped her cloak form her shoulders and appeared in front of the pair. "Now down to business. My sister and I would like to invite you both to a party at our school."
"Are you sure that we would fit in?" Blaise asked as she slipped her cloak tighter around her shoulders.
"My dear you will fit in more than you know. Now if you would like to attend the party we will be leaving in three quarters of an hour." Draco and Blaise stood in silence while they contemplated their decisions.
"I'll go. Its time for me to grow up anyways." Draco looked up from the floor as he spoke.
"Sure. Why not?" Blaise answered smiling.
"Okay before we leave you need to come with me." Selena turned on her heal and walked away towards the Gryffindor common room. The pair followed her not wanting to get lost. As they approached a painting of a fat lady in a pink dress Selena stopped. "I want you both to swear yourselves to secrecy this is the Gryffindor common room. You are both moving into the HAGS dorms, located within this common room, tonight. Rooms are already ready for you and your private articles have been moved into your rooms. The password is Royale. You two maybe the only the Slyths to ever set foot in the Gryfs domain so Dumbledor has set some ground rules. You can't fight with anyone or you go right back, you can't tell anyone the password or you go back, you can't let anyone in to the Gryffindor common room unless they are a Gryf or they are in the transfer or you go back. If you cannot abide by these rules not only will you go back to the Slyths but you will taken off of the transfer list. Understand?" they both nodded.
"Royale." The Fat Lady swung forward and all three entered the common room. There was instant pandemonium in the common room. Many wands were raised and aimed at the three students that had just entered. "Wingardium Leviosa." Selena muttered as she raised her right hand palm up towards the ceiling. Everyone's wands flew out of their hands and floated about three feet above their heads, just out of reach.
"I am ashamed of every last one of you." Angel and Val stuck their heads out of the door to their dorm. "Blaise and Draco will be staying with us in the HAGS dormitory. Anyone who wishes to debate my reasons why may see me in the morning. Now please excuse us." Draco and Blaise followed her into their new common room. As the dorm slammed shut the wands all fell. "There are eight rooms on each level and four levels in all. This bottom level contains seven bedrooms and a library. Every other shares a bathroom. You two have rooms eight and nine on the second floor. Your belongings have already been brought up and you share a bathroom. HAGS has provided you with Temperance uniforms, as they are equivalent to the Slytherin house. A pair of NHS street clothes is on each of your beds along with a school blazer and the proper attire for going to my house. Please be fully dressed and back down here in fifteen minutes.
Blaise and Draco went upstairs and got dressed. Draco's shirt was burgundy while Blaise's dress was pale purple. They arrived downstairs to see Hermione and Ron arguing with everyone else watching intently.
"Can't you ever take your nose out of a book?"
"Can't you talk about something besides Quidditch for once?"
"Can't you live in the real world?"
"Your just mad because I am top in the year."
"Silencio." Angel flicked her hand at them. They struggled to talk only to find themselves unable. "Fighting will get us no where. You two will stop this childish bickering right now. We will not have you making a fool not only out of yourselves but out of Hogwarts, your families and us as well. Now can you two behave?" Hermione and Ron nodded. "Good. Fini" lavender came down the stairs.
"Excellent we are all here. Now we have to teach to materialize."
"Do what?" Ron asked quietly.
"Materialize. No more interrupting. Close your eyes and imagine yourself disappearing from one place and reappearing in another. Catilia show them if you would."
Catilia disappeared from the sofa in a shower of pale purple petals and reappeared on the third floor balcony. Then she reappeared on the sofa.
"Now Ginny try to make it to the sofa over there." Ginny disappeared in a flurry of sparkling snow. She reappeared on the sofa. They spent ten minutes teaching everyone to materialize to various parts of the dormitory. They materialized down to Headmaster Dumbledor's office.
"Cinnasnaps." Harry whispered to the gargoyle. It leapt aside. Headmaster Dumbledor was coming down the stairs.
"Good evening Headmaster." Selena curtsied. "Ready to leave Sir?"
"Of course Miss le Therone." Professors Lupin and McGonagall came down the stairs behind the Headmaster. "Oh children, Professor Lupin and Professor McGonagall would like to come with us."
"As you wish it." Selena smiled to cover the fact that she was annoyed.
"We need to leave now." Angel said trying to take Selena's mind off of the professors.
"Before we leave they need to drink their goblets." Val said as three goblets appeared and floated in front of Draco, Blaise and Lavender. They looked at each other confusedly and looked around at the others. "Just drink them everything will be fine." They didn't look like they believed him but they swallowed the contents of the goblets anyways. Lavender looked like she was going to hurl and Blaise looked slightly uncomfortable.
'What the hell was that?' Draco thought to himself as he let go of the goblet.
* Will you stop being so loud? You are giving me a headache. * Harry told him telepathically. Draco's head shot up and he looked around. Harry and Ron laughed for a minute before being silenced by a glare from Angel. Suddenly the same blinding white light as before surrounded Draco, Blaise and Lavender. Lavender's hair became white with purple streaks, her eyes turned violet and her skin darkened to a deep tan. Blaise's waist length black hair shortened and straightened till it stopped half way up her neck. Her eyes turned gold with black flecks and her skinned darkened as she shrunk to about four foot five inches. Draco's platinum blonde hair became laden with dark red and blue streaks. His eyes tuned gold with a red crescent moon shaped spot in each. Professor McGonagall's jaw dropped.
"No questions. Time to go." Selena said as Angel and Val took their places next to Selena. "Please form a circle around us. Hold hands." Selena, Angel and Val formed a triangle in the center. The group gathered in the Headmaster's office reluctantly linked hands.
"Teleport casa le Therone, Isla Night Harbor." Angel and Val echoed Selena as she spoke. With a flash of light the thirteen people disappeared. No one noticed the rat scurry out of the room and through the castle to the forest.
