"Right In Front Of You" Chapter 11: Planning Ultimate Revenge On The-Boy- Who-Lived

**************************************************************************** **

During their run, Ginny told them what Harry did to her a month ago. Seamus looked like he was about ready to murder, Dean almost went to go hex the hell out of him, & Hermione was fuming with anger. That's when they started thinking of a brilliant plan of revenge for Harry, to pay him back for what he did to Ginny. Actually, Hermione mentioned that she never thought that Harry would do that to her. At that Ginny laughed. Her exact thought was: 'Well, I didn't believe that either, but people change....in crappy ways'. Ginny was glad she told them, because people come up with great ideas in groups, & great ideas they were producing. They couldn't talk much about it after running, since the professors were right there, but everyone, especially Ginny, were thinking about it while going through fighting techniques. The highlight of her day was when Hermione kicked the head off of the dummy they were practicing on. Ah, anger definitely improves fighting sometimes.

Ginny decided to go down to the kitchens, along with Seamus, Dean, & Hermione, to eat so that they could plan without Harry & the others listening to them. During that time, Ginny also told them about her gaining her power in battle the night before. Dean & Hermione were very happy for her, & Hermione even said that McGonagall stated she was also close to gaining hers. They all had an exciting, & happy, lunch as they chatted & planned in the kitchens.

Afterwards, they all headed to their respected places, agreeing to meet in the kitchens again for dinner later. Ginny was so thrilled that she would finally be able to tell Dumbledore about gaining her power the night before. After saying the password, Treacle Pudding, Ginny walked up the steps in mere eagerness, & opened the door. Waiting for her, Dumbledore chuckled, "Why hello Miss Weasly. It looks like you're in a good mood." "Actually, I'm in a great mood, & I have something to tell you; it's about my ultimate power in battle." "Oh?" Ginny beamed from ear to ear, then said, "Well, last night, I was thinking about...certain things, & I had my eyes closed. So, when I opened them, I was floating in the air with an outfit different from my PJ's. I soon figured that by having my thoughts built up some more, I could gain my ultimate power, & I did!" Dumbledore got up & patted her shoulder while saying, "Congratulations Miss Weasly. Now that you have gained your ultimate power, we can build onto it & perfect it. Also, we can build onto your other abilities, & you will find out what they are once you gain them. Now, let's get started." Ginny skipped up the stairs to the training room with Dumbledore chuckling behind her, very glad the new Guardian of the Stars was a cheerful girl, but also very powerful, but she didn't need to know that...yet.

Seamus was now looking forward to going down to the dungeons; he found that he was actually very good at making potions. Snape even commented on his work every so often, & that pleased him even more. He had already learned to make healing potions, killing potions, & strength-building potions. "Hello Professor," he called cheerfully, sitting in his usual spot, in front of Snape's desk. A minute later, Snape swiftly walked out of his office, a friendly smirk on his face. "Alright Finnigan, you're going to learn something new today." "Oh?" "Now, come with me." Seamus followed Snape out of the castle, onto the grounds, & still further out until they were in a clearing a good distance from the castle. "Now, I think you are ready to build up your powers & start perfecting your magical & universal skills. Watch carefully as I show you my ultimate power." Snape then closed his eyes in concentration, the wind billowing his robes slightly. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, & they weren't their usual black......they were a forest green. He raised his hands, leaving them there as they started glowing a forest green. When you thought they couldn't get any brighter, or darker, he brought them swiftly to the ground, bringing his head with them. Soon after that, a huge pillar of earth shot up into the sky, bringing Snape with it, & shot a couple hundred feet into the air, then dropped him. When Seamus thought he would break his neck, he somehow dove into the ground, & popped out a couple of feet behind him. "That was wicked, Professor!" Seamus exclaimed. Snape gave him a friendly smirk & said, "Soon enough, you'll find out your power." They spent the rest of the time learning the different natural herbs that could be used in various potions.

Ginny met up with Hermione, Dean, & Seamus outside the kitchens, waiting to tell them what she did & hear what they did. She was laughing over some jokes Dean told, & was happy for Seamus when he told them he would find out his power soon. Then, they got down to business. "Did you guys think of anything good for tomorrow?" Ginny asked in a whisper, not wanting an unsuspecting House Elf to hear them, especially Dobby. "I was thinking along the lines of messing with his mind," Hermione smirked, looking smudged in her seat. Ginny smirked with her, agreeing, "That's a great idea 'Mione. Now, I think we should-." "Should what, Virginia?" Ginny knew that tone anywhere, & a dangerous glint entered into her eyes, but then, she thought, 'Well, might as well start somewhere.' And start she did.
