I PROMISE. For now, heres a little snippet....
"Lemon Drop"she whispered and walked into Dumbledore's office. She was
surprised she still remembered the password.
*****************
"I'm doing well professor, and you?"
"Im wonderful...how.."
She put up a hand to stop him.
"A year ago I left him.....but I know I really left years before that.....we
struck a bargain...I got my freedom...he cursed me......he didnt get to
finish......He was too weak....It was after the TriWizard tournament.....couldnt
finish it all.....so there is a chance I could reverse it."
........."The ministry helped me with it. They gave me this charmed
amulet."
She removed the amulet to reveal her curse.
........."Im so sorry dearest....How would you like to teach here?
I need a DADA teacher at the moment."
"Id love to."
She put the amulet back on, her curse dissapearing from view.
"But I just want you to know before you stumble upon it yourself that
someone else is here. Im sure you'll remember him and no matter.......what
this person told.........he IS on our side."
She didnt even have to hear him say his name.
********************************************
She walked through the corridor to the library to get a few books when
she saw someone she had hoped she wouldnt have to face quite yet.
"Severus Snape"she breathed.
He spun around at the sound of his name and stared in shock.
"Enchantra Wellington."he barely whispered.
*************************************************
"Welcome to 5th Year Defense Against Dark Arts. I'm professor Chantra.
We will soon be starting our lessons on Spell Weaving. First, can anyone
tell me a little of what they know about Spell Weaving?"
Hermione's hand immediately shot up.
"Yes Ms Granger?"
"If I remember correctly, the spell is written down on paper as sentences
and may tell a story sometimes. The way you weave the words in a sentence
determines what the spell does. But the hardest part is the muttering of
the correct charms and other spells in the right order and sequence as
you write to ensure the right thing happens."
"Correct. So in a sense you have to weave the proper amount of words
and magic. 5 points to Gryffindor. Now this isnt easy. It takes years to
perfect if you want to do complex weaving. We will be working with basic
weaving in here, though I have a couple demonstrations in mind. Spell weaving
can be very powerful if infused with the proper amounts of energy and emotion.
They can be performed spoken but are the most powerful when sung. Music
is an outstanding magical amplifier. I myself have woven a few spells and
am still working on one. I think you might recognize some if I brought
them to your attention. FOr instance, are any of you interested in muggle
studies?"
Some hands went into the air.
"Well, if you remember the movie Titanic, the love song from that is
a woven spell. It was written by a witch and found its way in the muggle
world. But, of course since Celine Dion is not a witch, though with that
voice she could be one heck of a musicology teacher, the spell never gets
cast since there is no magic with the words. You have to be a witch to
access the power of a woven spell, or any spell for that matter. Next class
we will begin to learn some techniques and hopefully will be able to perform
your first woven spell by Christmas time. So to start off Im going to have
you all read the first 10 pages of your books."
*********************************
"MR MALFOY!!!"
He looked up at Chantra with a sneer.
"I will NOT be called that EVER again. 30 points from Slytherin.
That word is utterly degrading and even though its not your business I
am not a Mudblood as you so nastily put it. I am a "pureblood" as you call
it and was in the Slytherin house in my years here. But that is of no consequence.
That word has no place here and you have no right to use it in my classroom
or anyhwere else. EVER. Is that understood?"
He just looked at her.
"I said is that understood?"
She whispered the floating charm and he floated a few feet from the
floor.
"Yes yes, alright!"
She let him down.
"Dismissed. All of you out!"
*******************************
"Oh come off it Severus. He deserved it and you know it! So yes I took
points from your house. OUR house, or have you forgotten so easily?"
His mask slipped a little then revealing a little pain there but quickly
replaced itself.
"How could I forget?"he said icily.
***************************
".....what gives you the right to treat people this way!!!"
"This gives me the right!"he yelled pulling up his left sleeve.
***************************
"...Easier to hate than love then? Thats your excuse. You dont think
I'm ashamed too? That I dont regret what I've done? I killed as well Severus.
Dont act like you've forgotten."she reminded him while pulling up her left
sleeve to reveal her dark mark as well.
*************************
"Are you ready for this Cho? Remember what we practiced alright....since
Im doing most of the performing of the spell you dont have to worry much,
but for it to work for you as we do intend you have to remember your parts
ok?"
She nodded.
"Alright. Now remember sweetness, that no matter what he is in here."she
pointed at Cho's heart.
"And when you see him its an illusion....but I believe this will only
help you dear ok? So not too many tears..."
"Alright Professor Chantra, Im ready."
Enchantra smiled.
"Ok then, lets go."
She took Cho's hand and led her to the front of the Great Hall where
the students sat at dinner and the teachers at their places.
Enchantra glanced at Snape and he looked at her, his face masked as
usual but he let it slip a little and let her see a little of something
in his eyes.
She looked away and began to speak to the students.
"Now, Cho has volunteered to do this demonstration of what the 5th
year DADA students will be learning and I think it important for you all
to see what Spell Weaving is. Now, she has worked hard on this and I will
NOT stand for smirking, laughing, or anything of the sort. I will not hesitate
to remove points from your houses if any such thing occurs. The subject
of which this spell is about is no laughing matter at all. And if you think
Im kidding, just try me."
With one last look at the students Enchantra closed her eyes and music
began to play from nowhere......
************************
Well thats the teaser......tell me what you think....it gives you a
good feel of things I think......So who is this Enchantra?Why do they call
her Professor Chantra? How does Snape know her? She was a deatheater? What
is this curse she has? What does the amulet really do? What is this spell
weaving thing? What is Cho about to do? Whats with Severus and Enchantra?
Review and maybe you'll see!!!! :-)
