OK, SO THIS ONE IS REALLY CHAPTER 6, EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS 7......ok, WELL,
WE HAVE TO BLAME GARRY FOR THAT ONE. SO, HERE IT IS, CHAPTER, 6, NOT
SEVEN. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT ANYTHING, JUST INCLUDE YOUR
E-MAIL ADDRESS IN YOU REVIEW, YOU KNOW, LIKE ALWAYS, I'M ALWAYS
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANYTHING..OK, SO ON WITH THE SHOW....OH!!! I have to
apologize for the horrible spelling in chapter 5, I thought that I had spell checked it, but now I can
see that I didn't. I am very sorry, it won't happen again. Also I never had any indication of
when reading starts and when reading ends. On Garry's screen it looked indented, but it isn't
when I posted it. Oops! Sorry about that one too. I have noticed that I haven't been putting
disclaimers on these, so here it is, for all of the ones I've forgotten. I OWN NOTHING!!! Please
don't sue me. I'm only a poor High School student. Oh, and I borrowed the hand and mind
magic from the made for TV movie (I sound like Mary Catherine Galager from SNL) Merlin.
Yeah, that's the sort of magic they use, so I kind of stole that, but DON"T SUE ME NBC!!! I
don't own much, just the idea, and everything about and that has happened to Geray. I also own
the word peterbedly. I kinda made it up.....Ok, that's all with the disclaiming and such Alrighty,
here it is. Cheerio!!

CHAPTER 6 (7)


She worked her hard. Geray had never strained herself so much in her entire life. Professor
Sinistra was a hard teacher to learn anything from. Sinistra came from a long line of Witches who
used hand magic, but she never let anyone know. Dumbledore had come to her to become
Geray's tutor on the subject. She pushed Geray past what she thought she could do, and now had
left that lying in the dust.

"I want that rope burnt all the way. I don't want a half-assed job with it." She bellowed across
Geray's chambers. There was a rope tied from one end of them room to the next, and Geray had
to use her powers of fire to burn the rope through. SO far she had fire stretching all the way
across it, but She had to focus her energy on all of the little molecules inside of the rope for it to
burn all the way to ashes. It a single second of obtaining that thought there was a line of ashes
across the floor in her room. Geray breathed with exhaustion and sat down on her bed nursing
her burnt hands. This was the sixth rope she had gone through today. Her hands were blistered
from conjuring so much fire. Sinistra wanted her to work with her most powerful element first,
then she would have her move into the wonders of electricity, water, earth, and dimensions.

"Good job today, I can tell you're tired, I'll leave you now with your other tutor, the one getting
you caught up with the other students your age."

"Alright, thank you Professor."

"Your welcome my dear" She said as she walked out of the room leaving Geray once again,
alone.

Geray looked across her room to a candle sitting on her table. She knew that eventually she was
going to have to move from hand magic to doing mind magic, so she thought that maybe she
should start exploring her powers now. She focused, with her eyes closed, on the little burnt wick
on the cream colored candle. In her mind she pictured a tiny flame burning on the candle. She
focused all of her energy onto every molecule of the flame, wick and candle, the shot her eyes
open
with a bolt. A ring of fire shot out from her direction engulfing the entire room in flames. She
heard some one mutter a spell, and the flames went out. She looked over to were the noise came
from and Professor Dumbledore was standing there.

"I have told few, but I have my own ways of being invisible." Geray stared shocked at the man
who had just spoken to her. "Well my dear, I'll have to inform Sinistra of your progress without
her. Next time, try focusing on sending the wisp, not just the fire." Geray nodded, "Now, shall
we begin?"

"Begin sir?"

"Yes" He said as he walked over to her little wooden desk near the window. He tapped the stone
wall in the corner near the window and it opened up to be a storage closet of some sort. He went
thumbed along and stopped at a section labeled 'Transfiguration' and pulled out one of the seven
books there. "Come along" He said

"Are you going to be my tutor?" Geray asked

"Yes. You don't really think that there is anyone else qualified enough to get you up to date in
such a sort amount of time. Now come here, we have lots of work to do."

Geray did what she was told and sat own at her desk while the Greatest wizard alive gave her
private lessons. She couldn't be happier.

"Harry!"

"What Draco?" Harry called across the hallway.

"I've got something to show you!!" He said running towards him. The two were heading down
to lunch that morning, since both of them slept in rather late, and missed breakfast altogether.
Harry walked over to where Draco was running to and they met half-way.

"What is it?" He said in more of a whisper this time.

"I've found something"

"What???" Harry said with his eyes getting bigger with excitement

"I'll have to show you somewhere private.....Come on." He said pulling Harry down the stairs
towards the Slytherin common room.

"What are you doing Draco? I can't go down there!"

"Nobody is there, now stop being a prat and come on" He pulled him up to the common room
door, which was what looked like a normal wall. "Salazar wasn't very unique."Draco said staring
at the sad wall. He didn't know that Harry and Ron had been here once before, in their second
year to question Draco to find out if he was the heir of Slytherin. "Have you ever seen the
Ravenclaw entrance is like through a pool of water that dosen't really get you wet. Sure I've never
seen it, but that's what Pansy told me once. She's full of shit now that I think about it, anyway,
Down with Gryffindor."

"HEY!"

"Snape was pissed when we lost to you guys last match, so that's the password" Draco said
innocently

"Oh" Harry said with a look of rage in his eye still. He had always been very proud of his house.

The two stepped into the green common room and Draco led Harry over to the coffee table near
the fireplace.

"Take a look at this." He said with a smirk on his face. Harry picked up the book and read
through it, then looked back up at Draco with a look of shock on his face.

"Do you know what this means?"

"Yeah, that the hot chick with the super cool powers in gonna be in MY house"

"NO! She is the direct relation of the most evil wizard of ALL time!"

"So?"

"SO!! She could realize horrors onto this school nobody has ever seen before!! This could mean
the end of Hogwarts all together!! This could be like...an APOCALYPSE on the school!!!"

"Oh, and that's bad right?"

"YES!!!"

"We should go and talk to Dumbledore." Draco said solemnly

"YEAH!" Harry said peturbedly

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

Hermione sat quietly on her bed alone in her room.. The shutters were closed and the room was
extremely dark. She got up, but it wasn't her getting up. There was a glazed look in her eye, and
she never blinked. She walked over to Lavender's trunk and opened it up, pulling out some
candles and a black cloth. She placed them on the floor in a circle on top of the black cloth.

~Yes, that's right. Good little minion~

'Why are you making me do this' Hermione thought with struggle.

~Because I need someone, and somebody close to her would be even better.~

'I don't want to help you, you bastard, GET OUT OF MY HEAD'

~ I don't think so~

Hermione jumped as a shock of electricity shot through her body 'You ass'

~Now, now, we'll need to wash that mouth out with soap~

'Ha, Ha, very funny'

~No I mean it~

Hermione walked over to the girls bathroom and shoved a bar of soap down her throat. She
started to choke and couldn't breath. She let out a piercing scream and Ron came running in the
door.

"Herm? Oh my god!" He yelled and ran to her aid. He yanked the soap bar out of her mouth and
she passed out on his lap. The two of them lay together on the floor until Hermione came back
to.

"Thanks" She said meekly.

"No problem. Are you alright?"

Hermione started to twitch a little bit. "He's gone! He's gone!!"

"Herm are you Ok?" Ron asked with a puzzled look towards his estranged friend.

"He's left, well at least for now.....Oh god, he can't come back....He can't come back " She said
and started to cry. Ron picked up his friends who was losing her mental stability and carried her
all the way to the hospital wing. He didn't even notice the set-up of the ceremony lying on the
floor near her bed.
