New Magic

Author's Notes: If you haven't already make sure to read chapter 1 of New Magic ^^!!!! This happens right after GoF as most of my Harry Potter books are. I'm going to start doing ones about what happens right after Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix as soon as it comes out.. so on and so on... This story's about Ginny drinking a potion accidentally and becoming a fae as well as a witch, it's also about Voldemort coming back to power.

Disclaimer: Of course the characters are J.K. Rowlings except for a few I made up, but that's what a fanfic is anyway.

Chapter 2

Magical Menagerie

The last few weeks hadn't been very exciting. Harry usually just played quidditch in the grass field, or wizard chess with Ron and Hermione. Around 3 weeks before Harry would have to go to Hogwarts he received, by owl post of course, the letter of his 5th year school supplies:

FIFTH-YEAR STUDENTS WILL REQUIRE

Dark and Evil: How to Defend Yourself Against the Forces of Darkness

by Jennifer Brimbettle

"I've heard of her, Morrgaina Fae. She supposed to be about 14 this year. She is from Japan I think, and can already transfigure. She's supposed to be the youngest like in 1000 years or so. I also think, no it couldn't be... give me a moment." Ron said before opening a draw in his dresser that appeared to carry folders. "Ministry of Magic, Dad's Job, Rita Skitter... Oh here it is." Ron tossed a green folders to Harry. It was marked Hogwarts.

"Morrgaina Fae, at age 14 and from Japan, has made magical miracles. Not only can she transfigure, but also she can tame dragons and griphons to nearly eating from the palm of her hand!!!! Her two books The ABCs of Taming Monsters, and Magical Creatures As Pets are big hits!!! Quoth Morrgaina "Well reporter-sama (---- a term of respect) I do try my hardest, but it's also part of my heritage." "What do you mean, don't you live and train by yourself?" reporter Jason Hawknee asks. "My parents were both fae, (----fairies) and for some reason I received witch powers. I have to go but I would like to say a few more things first. I will be finally going to a real wizard school, Hogwarts, and for a special treat I'll be giving away some baby magical creatures I've tamed until their as harmless as kittens. You will also be able to purchase one or two at Magical Menagerie, Diagon Alley, London on August 23rd when I'll personally be selling them!!!" " Harry read out loud. Ron looked thoughtful and Hermione squealed.

"Isn't that amazing? I mean she can transfigure and write, and she should be full fairy but she isn't and wow, when she's older she'll be more powerful than Dumbledore. We can meet her!!! It will be so exciting!!!" Hermione cried. Ron gave her a look that said "you really think that?". Ron turned back to Harry.

"Say does she tell you how much these magical things are?" Ron asked trying to read over Harry's shoulder.

"1 sickle each." Harry read in amazement. Ron's jaw fell down in disbelief. "It says right here what the selling price is and it's 1 sickle each. That's awfully nice of her don't you think Ron?" Ron didn't answer his jaw so locked in place. He nodded dully.

"Oh Ron stop it. I'm sure George and Fred can spare 1 sickle to you. Don't you both care that two of our school books this year are written by somebody younger than us?" Hermione said a little annoyed at Harry and Ron. "You don't even care that she might be a nice person and have a lot to teach us?"

"That brings along another thing. I don't really think I'll like her if she took Hagrid's job." Harry argued. Why does Hermione have to ruin this for Ron? he thought.

"Did you not hear me when I say she's younger than us? Dumbledore wouldn't allow her to be a teacher." Hermione stated firmly. Ron, who's jaw was now in proper place, nodded.

"You really think they'll give me a sickle Hermione?" Ron asked. Hermione groaned, but when Ron started laughing she joined him.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Okay everyone into the car." Mr. Weasley called from the driver's seat. Harry jumped into the back with Ron, Hermione, George, and Fred without having lack of room. Ginny, Mr., and Mrs. Weasley sat in the front.

"So Fred and George, plan on taking me on my offer? You give me a sickle and you get to name whatever I get." Ron whispered so that his Mr. and Mrs. Weasley couldn't hear. George and Fred both had a glint in their eyes which over the years Harry had recognized as mischief. They nodded and handed Ron a silver sickle. Harry gave Ron the thumbs up and Ron returned it, Hermione smiled and mouthed "I told you".

Once in Diagon Alley Ron right away wanted to go to the Magical Menagerie, but Hermione made them get their books first.

"Morrgaina's weigh a ton." Ron groaned. "Dad before we go off by ourselves could you... you know?" Mr. Weasley nodded and put a feather light charm on their books.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

It was the cutest, weirdest, most amazing thing Harry had ever seen. Right by the door of the Magical Menagerie was Morrgaina Fae sitting in a crowd of baby griphons, dragons, phoenixes, and what-not. There was a crowd around her, but her supply of monsters never seemed to end. Ron dashed in line, Hermione gave a short groan and then joined him. Harry was too dumbstruck to move.

"Harry get over here. I want your help!!" Ron called 10 minutes later when he was in front of the line. Harry shook his head and walked over. "Which one should I get?"

"Hello." Morrgaina said smiling up at them. She had black hair and golden-brown eyes. "If you want a dragon you should get a dwarf, but I think you would enjoy a phoenix. Hippogriffs and griphons do grow big but their very nice. I'm keeping, a griphon. I just fell in love with it and can't sell it to anyone." She smiled.

"I'm Ron and these are my friends Harry and Hermione. That one's cute. Ron said pointing to a reddish-orange feathered baby griphon no bigger than a stuff animal, who was chirping happily. "I think I'm going to get a griphon.

"That's Gabe, short for Gabriel. He's the one I'm keeping." Morrgaina said. She's very nice. thought Harry. He thought they could be friends. "You all are from Hogwarts right?" They nodded.

"We have you books for our care of magical creatures class. I read the first page of The ABCs of Taming Monsters and it was wonderful!!!" Hermione squeaked finally, as though she'd been playing it in her head for sometime. Morrgaina giggled and smiled.

"I think I'll take this one." Ron pointed at a little greenish-gray griphon that had been purring and rubbing against his leg. He handed Morrgaina the sickle. He then picked the little feathery ball up and turned to leave.

"Hmm can I spend a half an hour or so with you guys? I really need a break and somebody can fill in for me?" Morrgaina asked shyly. Ron nodded vigorously. "Wait 1 minute." Morrgaina said as she walked into the Magical Menagerie. A few minutes later she came out and a replacement sat in her spot. Gabe followed her.

Harry paid for ice-cream for them all. They sat down and Hermione and Morrgaina got thoroughly engrossed into a conversation about how she could do what most adult wizards couldn't, but then as always when good things are happening, Draco appeared.

"A new friend Potter? Another mud-blood or is she just poor?" Draco sniggered gesturing in Morrgaina direction. Harry didn't know how to answer that. Should he use a witty remark or just punch Draco.

"Fae-blood." Morrgaina said on the brink of tears. Draco for some reason didn't snap back or get a triumphant smirk on his face. He almost seemed upset.

"Um.. didn't mean.. don't cry.. or you can... I'm sor...bye" Draco stammered before stomping off, his flunkies Goyle and Crabe gave each other confused looks than followed him. Harry was amazed, Draco had almost said he was sorry. That was a first. he thought. Hermione and Ron were comforting Morrgaina.

"Oh don't cry. Draco's just an ugly git. Nothings wrong with Fae-blood or being muggle born." Ron said as Hermione handed Morrgaina a napkin to blow her nose with.

"Noo it's not that. It's just my parents are dead and...well he reminded me of them by asking Harry what my blood was." Morrgaina cried and then blowed her nose. "I was really little and then...and then..."

"I know what you mean. My parents were killed when I was little too." Harry said crouching down beside her.

"I know. Let's be friends? I've heard you've taken on Lord Voldemort. For the same reason I want to, he's back in power and maybe if we have enough allies, we can all get our revenge." Morrgaina said, her voice cold like they hadn't heard before.

"He killed your par.." Harry began and stopped when Morrgaina nodded. Turning to Ron and Hermione he continued "Yeah. Let's all be friends."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"You expect us to believe Draco almost said sorry to somebody? I can't believe which depths you take you lying." Fred said jokingly and shoved Ron in the car. "Just kidding. So he really did?"

"Yup. He really did. So now what are you nameing my griphon?" Ron asked while crossing his fingers.

"Well on account of the valuable information, and on account we already named Ginny's. You can name it." George said imitating Cornelius Fudge, the minister of magic, and pointing to Hermione.

"Wait a sec. Ginny got a pet?" Harry asked stunned. Ginny turned around in her seat and held up a little featherless baby bird. "A phoenix? Wow..." Harry recognized it because Prof. Dumbledore owned one as well.

"We named it Flame." George said while Fred nodded in agreement. Hermione was studying Ron's griphon.

"Well I guess since you said I should. Rose is a good name don't you think?" Hermione asked Ron for approval.

"Rose." repeated Ron. The little griphon chirped happily. "It suites her doesn't it?"

"Your sure you have all your things?" Mrs. Weasley asked them as Harry, Ron, and Hermione boarded the Hogwarts Express.

"Mum how many times will I have to tell you we do?" Ron groaned. Mrs. Weasley looked a little hurt. "I know your worried but we'll be okay." Ron exclaimed more gently. Mrs. Weasley nodded then went to check on Ginny before the train left.

"Over here!" Harry waved to Hermione and Ron from a compartment in the back. When they got there Harry helped Hermione shove her stuff in the other head compartment before they all got to sit down and relax.

A minute later Ginny and Morrgaina walked into the compartment. They stopped talking about whatever they were when they walked in.

"Hi, this is Morrgaina Fae. She's my friend." Ginny said sitting down by Harry, while Morrgaina sat opposite.

"We've meet." Hermione said and smiled. "How did it go when you went back to the Magical Menagerie?"

"Wonderful. I sold them all. I used the money I got for books and a broomstick. Nimbus 2002, brand new model. I still got a little." Morrgaina said between delighted giggles.

When the lady came with sweets Morrgaina, Harry, and Hermione bought some. All three of course shared with Ginny and Ron.

"Shoo me and Harry have to change." Ron said when Neville Longbottom had dropped in to tell them ten minutes until they arrived at Hogwarts. The three girls groaned, but left to change else where.

"Morrgaina and Ginny seem like old friends, but they just meet a few days ago. I wonder why." Harry asked Ron as her pulled off his shirt.

"Oh just girl stuff. Their like that." Ron answered pulling his shirt off as well. The girls came back in two minutes later.

"We have arrived at Hogwarts. When the train comes to a complete stop please leave. We will take care of your luggage." The loud speaker beeped a few minutes later.
