New Blood
Chapter 5
Disclaimer: These characters belong to J. K. Rowling with one or two notable exceptions that I'm putting into the story to interact with them. I write these stories for fun and they are not intended to infringe on the published works of the author noted above.
A/N: This story is set during the year five. J. K. Rowling does all of her stories from the Dream Team's point of view. This will be set from the point of view from selected characters on the Slytherin side of things. Just so the Purists know, this is an AU fic.
Symbology: 'something surrounded in single quotes always means someone is thinking.' Something surrounded in [square brackets] means telepathic communication is going on.
===============
That day was they had double DADA with the Gryffindors.
Professor Grey began the class by lining everyone up and handing them a small glass marble. "This Marble," she began, "will glow more or less brightly depending on your inherent potential for mentalism." She turned to Samantha. "My daughter has been chosen to help me with this part of the class. She will be working directly with those who have Inherent Psionic Potential, or IPP. The other students who have little or no potential will be working with Me to learn to defend yourselves from the others. Half of every class will be split into the Talented and Untalented groups."
When the marble was passed around, there was on student from Slytherin other than Samantha. When the Marble was passed to Draco, it glowed brightly. [You've been working with Samantha already?] Professor Grey asked.
[Yes professor] Draco answered.
[That's good.] A twinkle came to her eyes for a moment. [My daughter can be rather strong minded. Her chosen mate must be very nearly as strong.]
Draco blushed at the comment, which caused a speculative look to come into the eye of Hermione Granger who was next in line.
Hermione took the marble and it glowed fairly well. Harry took it from Hermione. It glowed about as much as Hermione did. Ron took it from Harry. The Marble did gleam, but it didn't glow. There was a bit of a surprise, when Neville Longbottom took the marble and it glowed more brightly than anyone else in the class."
Professor Grey and her daughter consulted for a few minutes. "The following people will go next door with my daughter: Draco Malfoy, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, Neville Longbottom, and against my better judgement, Ronald Weasely."
The six students went out the door.
When the five students and the student teacher got into the new classroom. Samantha turned and said, "I want to say this. I will have no dissention in this class. That means," she looked from Draco to Ron, "the first one of you who baits the others from this day forward will answer to me."
[Does that mean I have to get along with everyone?] Draco asked.
Samantha looked at them and said. "Yes Draco, that means we have to get along. From this point on , our lives and our SANITY may depend on our getting along. Ideally, we would all become friends. But that may be too much to ask."
"Can you explain that Samantha?" Harry asked.
"Because we're in what is referred to as a training node," Samantha began, "a bond will be forged between us. That bond, will be able to allow us to keep our sanity under magical or psionic mental attack."
"Is that because instead of attacking one mind they would be attacking five of us?" Hermione asked.
"Six." Samantha said. "Because I'm teaching you, I am included in your training node. Also, every training Node that I have a connection to as well. Mom and Dad are in one of those nodes. There are a few other things that will be of use. Every one in the directly attached training node will be able to use any charm, spell or hex that any of the others know. The bad thing is," she walked over and put her arm around Neville, "if one of us lose confidence in themselves, the others have to make up for them."
Samantha turned to Neville, "when you had that marble, it glowed more strongly than I've seen in anyone outside of my own family."
"Really?" Neville asked.
"Yes." Samantha said. "I think I'll be able to teach you things that I will not be able to teach the others with the exception of Draco or Hermione. Draco because of a connection that I have to him, and Hermione because of her quickness of mind."
"We will begin with basic Thought transmission." Samantha said.
Over the course of the next hour, with Samantha and Draco teaching the others, they managed to pick up and send Telepathically. Neville, surprisingly was the best in the group. When Professor Grey came into the class to dismiss it, she was rather impressed. [I'm very proud of all of you. Remember, if help is needed, you only have to think of us, and one or all of us will be there. Neville, if you want to continue your training, I will be free in the hour immediately after supper. Meet me in my classroom.]
[Thank you Professor.] Neville said.

A/K: I'm sorry this is so short. I need to work on other projects and go to work. I hope you like what I've been doing. I'll publish the next chapters as I can.
