The Tiniest of Discoveries
The children slowly followed Professor McGonagall to her office. Sirius and James both disappeared together and reappeared five minutes later.
"What d'you get?" Gem asked the boys.
"Detention, but no biggy, just cleaning the trophies in the trophy room."
"Oh."
The professor poked her head round the corner and reminded the boys to wait behind so that she could show them to their house room and for 'Mr. Lupin' to see her next.
Gem was getting bored again. She had been waiting outside for over half an hour. Just as she was planning something to do to keep her mind off of boredom, Professor McGonagall called for her.
It was a bit strange in there. Too much order. The chaos gods obviously hadn't discovered the deputy headmistress's office. Other than the abnormal tidiness, the auras were fine, nothing too strange. The professor spoke:
"I wanted to talk to you about your . particular .abilities."
"Abilities?" Gemini wondered what was so strange about her, then it hit her,('like a tonne of bricks', she thought, giggling).
"Yes, abilities. I wanted to know what you are capable of doing."
As if in answer to the professor's question, Gemini, after a quick thought, picked up her wand. Out of nowhere, she conjured a candle. It was unlit and untouched. Very slowly, she blew on the candle. It lit. What Gem had just seen, was herself, performing an ordinary, everyday task; lighting a candle without matches.
What Professor McGonagall had seen, was an eleven-year-old girl perform wandless magic; something only advanced witches and wizards, such as herself, were capable of.
"Want to see something else?" Gem asked. Her eyes were almost glowing blue with pride. The professor was obviously pleased she could manage candle lighting: it can't have been all that simple then.
Professor McGonagall watched Gemini. But she was no longer looking at an average eleven year old girl; she was now looking at a small black cat with bright blue eyes. An animagus. The professor was one herself, but this was another task only for advanced witches and wizards.
"Want to know how?" Gemini had become human once again, "It's not any form of transfiguration, if that's what you're thinking. It's more like a natural talent, one that I inherited from my mother."
From the professor's expression, that seemed to explain a lot.
"Mum wanted me to come here," Gemini was speaking slowly, but as though she was informing herself of something, not a teacher, "to learn wand magic. I can't do much of that you see. I'm not all that good at charms either."
"I see. What is it you are again, and your mother? You aren't regular witches, are you?"
"No," Gem was still speaking slowly, "We are both witch-cats. Same as every one else, just extra 'powers', like add-ons."
"I see. How are you at fortune telling, divination."
"Easy peasy. And aura reading, Mother says I need a bit of tutoring in both those areas, though."
"Okay, I'll see what we can do about that. You will be receiving your timetable tomorrow. Now, to show you to your house room."
~*~
Gem sat in her dorm. Her luggage had been moved in already. Her room mates, Lily, Cinders and Embers, were sleeping. Gem, however, couldn't sleep. Instead, she pulled out her wand, and whispered 'Lumos' . A small light appeared on the end of it. (One of the few things her mother had taught her, "The only thing you'll need, knowing you, is a light and a candle!") Then Gem pulled out her diary. Inside she wrote her own introduction, a mini-profile.
"My name is Gemini, wich is quite funny, sinse I'm a twin. I hav stewpid hair that dusn't do anything, coz it's all frizzy. And I have eyes that change al the time, wich is horable for lying, coz they go green and everyone knows I'm lying! (() And thers uther stuf to, like how I hav speshal power thingies. So I gess I hav an advarntige over everyone else! I am al so a verry bad spella, wich is prob'ly ovius rite now, huh? Oh well! Anyway, I started this skool this morning, Hogwarts, I gess I'm gonna be populer, but I don't care, I was populer at my old skool anyway, this dusn't make sense coz I'm tired, and I'm going to sleep now!
'Nite! Gem"
Gem didn't even put her diary away, she just fell straight to sleep!
~*~
A/N: What do you think? -Please review-!! I need all the help I can get. I know *exactly* what's gonna happen in their second year, but I have no idea how to get there, during their first year!!(
Yes, I know, Gem's practically illiterate! Also, (I'd like to thank someone else for this idea!), if you want a character in this fic, put their name, year, house and personality into your review, k? Ta!
