"Right In Front Of You" Chapter 3: Preparing For What Is To Come

"First, I think I'll clear my office from this soot before we begin," Dumbledore stated, smiling a bit as he said a simple charm to get rid of the soot. The ten friends exchanged huge grins. "Now, I should tell you how this will work out. Since you will all be here for two months, you will all have certain training schedules to follow. To make it easier, I will pair you all off into certain groups. Mr. Weasly & Mr. Potter-," Ron & Harry raised their heads, "You two will be working together, since fire & lightening are closely related together; your teacher for that will be Madam Hooch. Ms. Patil & Ms. Patil-," Parvati & Padma lifted their heads, listening carefully, "You two will work together since you both have the same element; your teacher will be Professor Sprout. Mr. Longbottom & Ms. Brown-," Neville & Lavender lifted their heads also, "You two will work together since water & rain are primitively the same element; your teacher will be Professor Flitwick. Lastly, Mr. Finnigan, Mr. Thomas, Ms. Granger, & Ms. Weasly-," Seamus, Dean, Hermione, & Ginny listened, "you will all be with me & three other teachers. You will work together, but be guided by different teachers; Mr. Finnigan, you will have Professor Snape (Seamus groaned). Mr. Thomas, you will have Hagrid, our groundskeeper. Ms. Granger, you will have Professor McGonagall. Finally, Ms. Weasly, I will be your personal teacher." He paused, then continued. "Today, you will all have the day off, but starting tomorrow morning, your training will start. There will be an owl sent to you at approximately seven o' clock in the morning, which will peck you awake, & a note attached, telling you where to meet your teacher. You will first eat breakfast, then start training, your only breaks being for lunch & dinner. Your training will end at seven o' clock at night. Your basic lessons will be summoning your power, controlling it, & feeling it. I gave you the teachers you have because they are high in those certain powers. Now, with your sleeping quarters; the prefects will be in their same rooms as last year & non-prefects will be in Gryffindor tower. Now, the password to Gryffindor tower is 'srewop lasrevinu', & the password to the prefect common room is 'Europa'." As everyone picked up their trunks & walked out, Dumbledore called, "Ms. Weasly, will you please stay here for a brief minute." Seamus mouthed, 'I'll wait,' as Ginny nodded & walked over to Dumbledore. "Yes Professor?" she asked politely. He smiled, his eyes twinkling. "I am pleased to announce that you are a Gryffindor prefect, & as seeing that Mr. Finnigan is waiting for you, one of our Gryffindor prefects had dropped out, so he is our new replacement. Please give him my many thank you's, as your rooms are already finished, so I would go explore them if I were you." Ginny smiled widely, then raced out as fast as she could with her trunk, calling, "Thank you Professor!" He smiled a knowing smile as the door closed behind her retreating figure. "She is perfect for the star spirit."
