Hello everyone!!! I'm sure that if you are bothering to read this
you're eagerly anticipating this chapter. If it is romance you're after I
would not recommend some of the fanfics I have seen (NOT READ) recently
(refer to chapter 1)
Anyway with that said let's continue on with the story.
Chapter 3: The first day back
The next day at breakfast timetables were given out, and a loud groan made by Ron was widely heard.
"Potions first," he said in answer.
Jelly looked confused. "Potions? That's my favourite subject. What's so bad about it?"
"To put it quite simply Jelly, the teacher hates us and loves his own students, and as for the people that he likes…" Hermione gave a rather distasteful look. :S:S:S
"Oh. Well I'll take your word for it," said Jelly looking crestfallen.
"I see that most of you have decided to come back. Let's hope, Gryffindors that your skills have improved during the summer, particularly in Mr Longbottom's case." Professor Snape was giving his usual introduction to the new year, and poor Neville was once again being highly insulted. The trio were furious. Jelly was even more so.
"He has no right to say that. Why doesn't someone report him of offending students?"
"He has too much power. Anyway it's our word against a responsible teachers…who's Dumbledore going to believe?" Harry was wondering, even as he said that, why somebody didn't complain, like one of the teachers.
"Anyway class…today we're going to be making a Power-up potion. Please note that this is very strong and it will make any moves that you make work 10 times more efficiently. Each of you will have to test it with your partners. If it works, you won't get a point taken of your house." Snape said this with a very smug smile.
Jelly was put with Hermione, and placed in between Nevilles and Malfoys cauldrons. Harry and Ron were put next to Malfoy…much to their dismay.
"So Potter…I see you've got a new acquaintance in your little fan club," began Malfoy.
"See your Potion's overflowing," butted in Jelly.
She was quite right of course. Malfoy immediately waved his wand to bring the temperature of the fire down, but not without first dying of shame.
"And who asked you to join in, apprentice?"
"My name's Jelly, Malfoy, and who asked you to be a self-concieted little—(hmmm…best not mention the next word)?"
Malfoys pale face turned a slight shade of purple. "Should have known that if you were friends with a poor boy, mudblood and famous idiot that you wouldn't be worth fussing over…especially if you're a Gryffindor."
This made Jelly quite upset, but she ignored him and tried a dose of Hermiones Power-up potion. "it's good Hermione. Just the right flavour."
"Meow," said malfoy silently enough for Jelly to hear him.
'Better then being a sissy snake Malfoy."
Malfoys eyes narrowed. "You watch what you say New Kid, you don't wanna mess with me."
"Or what?" retaliated Jelly. Then her eyes widened "Oh, now I'm really scared. Malfoy might hiss at me."
The Gryffindors, hearing that last remark, all burst into laughter. Even a few of the Slytherins were amused at that. Malfoy, however, had just had some of the power-up Potion, and that got to him with ten times the effect.
"You'll pay," said Malfoy taking out his wand.
Suddenly he flung a bowl over to Jelly, but she was ready. With a wave of her hand she smashed the bowl to a thousand pieces. The students were staring at her, mortified. With another wave and a push motion she flung Malfoy over to the wall…and left him suspended there, under her control.
"You better watch your temper Malfoy, or next time—" with a wave of her hand she smashed some other piece of equipment "—I won't miss."
With one wave she let Malfoy fall to the ground, and with another she restored all of the broken equipment.
"Hermione's Potion works just fine, Professor," she remarked to Professor Snape. Then she settled down on her seat and began bottling up her potion.
The rest of the class, for the whole lesson, were stunned. They could hardly believe a Gryffindor student would be game enough to cause a Slytherin such indignity during a Potions lesson. Snape was so stunned that he couldn't think of punishing her. If anything he was grateful she'd restored everything to working order. Harry, Ron and Hermione were also stunned. They had no idea she was so powerful that she could lift up a 15- year-old student, with hardly any effort, even though the Potion was in its full effect. They had no idea anyone could make Malfoy as angry as that, and they certainly had no idea that she was able to retaliate so harshly, and yet seem as though it were just a walk in the park.
At the end of the lesson Jelly was called over to explain why she had done what she did. She remained very calm, as though nothing had just happened. Harry, Ron and Hermione were bursting for discussion.
"Amazing!" cried Ron automatically. "If she could do something like that to Malfoy all the time I reckon he'd do whatever we wanted him to do."
Hermione, ever serious, knitted her brow. "The potion shouldn't have been that strong, and I know it wasn't. I tried it myself and nothing like that happened. Not only that I wonder what made Malfoy so powered up as well…it doesn't seem right."
"Hermione, you shouldn't worry so much. This is great! It means that Malfoy knows he can't insult us anymore without a fight…and a powerful one at that."
Harry didn't say anything, hew just took note of Ron and Hermione's discussion. He had a vague idea of what may have been happening. The instant Jelly had taken that potion, Harry, from the other side of malfoy, could feel those vibes that she seemed to give off, and could feel them getting stronger and stronger. He wondered if this was a naturally occurring thing.
The rest of the day went fairly smoothly. Mind you there weren't any classes with the Slytherins the rest of the day. During charms however Professor Flitwick noted that Jelly didn't use a wand, and asked her about this.
"I don't need a wand Professor. I'm a hand witch. I perfect the art of using magic with my hands."
"I see. I've heard about that kind of witch. May I ask though, are you able to conduct spells with your hand as well as you could with a wand?"
"Better, Professor. I can use a wand if I wanted to, but the result wouldn't be nearly as good. My mother said it was because I have a powerful magic all around me, and when I tried to use a wand she figured that there's too much of a mix-up in power aura's, or something like that."
Professor Flitwick didn't say anything after that, but he was beginning to assume that this girl was one of the most powerful witches Hogwarts has ever come across.
As all 4 of them walked over to the Gryffindor table for dinner, they could clearly see Malfoy looking at them. Jelly called him something that only Hermione understood. Harry and Ron looked at her questioningly.
"It's an Australian term. It's like a mixture between idiot and ****head."
"Oh," said Harry seeing that Jelly didn't mix words. (oh by the way people can you not report that? In Australia it's a term that we use often and don't really find offensive, but that's the best definition I can come up with)
Hermione looked slightly disgusted, but Jelly said "Well that's what he is!"
Ron smiled. He was very glad to see that jelly didn't show any mercy like Hermione did.
As they were eating their dinner, Harry felt something. It came from Jelly. A sudden strong surge. At precisely the same time Jelly held her head. Harry thought this was very odd.
"Jelly?"
Jelly looked at him and smiled. "Yeah?"
"Why were you holding your head like that?"
"Oh my head hurts a bit, that's all. Nothing to worry about."
"Oh…OK." Harry still worried however. He was beginning to piece all of this together. He noticed that his hair seemed to be waving in the wind…and there was no wind. Could this have something to do with Jelly's power?
Hmmm…interesting…well at least I think it is…you may not. Anyway guys I'd really like replys. It's Tuesday tomorrow, another school day, so you might not gert another chapter for awhile. Please R&R…I'd really appreciate it.
