Harry and Nicola stood on other sides of the room, Dumbledore had cleared
the table and chairs so they had an open battle ground. Harry had his wand
out, down by his side, waiting for Dumbledore's signal to commence.
Dumbledore signaled with his hand and Harry raised his wand. Harry saw
Nikki's hands glowing a bright blue and was too stunned to speak.
"Argilla!" Nikki shouted as Harry felt his body relax. She held her hands in front of her and began to close them as if she had a grip on a ball. Harry winced in pain, he felt as if his whole body was being compressed. He looked and saw Nikki's hands glide apart from each other as he felt his body stretch out. Harry raised his wand and aimed for her hands.
"Aculeus," A stream of white light flew and hit Nikki's right hand. The glowing ceased as Harry fell to the floor. He saw Nikki shaking her hand that had a small glowing yellow ball in it.
"Incendium," She spoke as the orb became in to a single flame. She opened her hand even more and allowed the flame to grow.
"Frigus," she spoke as the flame became blue and she threw it at him. The flame broke in to pieces and became ice. Harry closed his eyes as felt himself being hurdled back. He opened his eyes and found the ice shards poking through his clothes and himself nailed to the wall.
"That is enough," Dumbledore said as he stood. "Very good Nikki," he commented as he pulled out one of the shards that were holding up Harry's shoulder, "Frozen fire; very creative."
"Thank you," Nikki said proudly.
"Now," He said as he took Harry off the wall, "Would you like to try yourself against Professor Snape?"
"Sure, why not?" She supposed as the greasy haired adult glided on to the floor.
Dumbledore and Harry sat on the sidelines with Ron and Remus before the signal was given to begin the fight.
"Salire!" Nikki said quickly as she threw a purple orb towards Snape and missed by several inches.
"You've completely missed." He hissed at her.
"No I didn't," she said as Snape turned to see behind him. A larger purple sphere rocketed towards him and smacked him square in the face and sent him to the ground.
"Severus is down, the match is over." Dumbledore said simply
"I told ya I didn't miss." Nikki said as she stood over him and allowed a smirk to crawl over her face.
"What was that?" Remus asked as Snape slowly got up.
"A Rebounding charm," Nikki explained. "The more it bounces the stronger it gets, but after so many bounces, it'll explode. Its ancient magic that witches would use back in the day of witch burnings so they would think it was someone on the other side of the room, and not them."
"How did you learn that?" Dumbledore asked.
"Books," She said as Dumbledore smiled.
"Very well then Nikki," Dumbledore said with a pause, "but I'm just wondering if you could do your spells with a wand."
"No," Nikki said. "I went to get a wand once and we found one that.fitted me. And the shopkeeper asked me do a simple charm with it, Accio, and .. the wand exploded."
"Exploded?" Harry exclaimed.
"In to flames, then in to ashes." She muttered.
"Then we will not equip you with a wand." Dumbledore said. "You are free to go now; I wish to speak to Remus and Severus in private for a moment."

"There," Harry said as he drew an 's' on a grid pattern. "What are you going to do now."
Harry and Nikki were upstairs in Nikki's room on her bed leaning over a piece of parchment.
"Put an 'o' above and, get another SOS, and then an 's' here and get another one and put an ." Nikki said as she started drawing in 's's and 'o's.
"Alright," Harry said. "You think that you'd go easy on me. I never played, let alone heard of, SOS in my life."
"You see, the thing with thinking that;" Nikki said as she turned towards him. "You're wrong." Her and Harry laughed briefly as she made another line. "I win again. So, what do you want to play now?"
"I don't know," Harry said. "Are you ticklish?"
"Why?" Nikki asked in a small voice.
"Tell me," he said as he brushed his fingers along her side causing her to giggle. Harry continued to tickle her as he asked her to tell him if she was ticklish or not. Even though it was quite obvious that she was.
"Okay, okay" Nikki gasped after five minutes. "I'm ticklish, I'm ticklish."
"That's what I thought," Harry replied smugly as he laid over her. She was taking in short breaths, trying to get her breath back, and her hair was covering most of her face. Harry brushed the locks of hair off of her face and looked in to her eyes. They were the same pale blue that sent shivers down his spine when he first saw her but now they were glossy with laughter. She slowed down her breaths as she looked into his eyes. Harry slowly lowered himself until he was mere inches from her lips.

A/N: Well, I got this chapter back but I'm still missing my side chapters. Oh well, I'll get it back with time.
Heero's Girl - I hope that waiting a little bit longer didn't kill you. I'd miss ya. I did have a bit a difficulty and probably will still. Oh well, I better work on my other stories.
