Ginny took a seat in the front of the classroom next to Draco. Snape walked in just as she sat down. He walked to her.

"If you need any help I'm sure Draco, Pansy, or Blaise can surely help you. They're my best students."

"I'm sure I'll be fine. Potions is one of my favorite subjects."

The rest of the class started filing in. When Ron, Harry, and Hermione sat down Snape turned towards the class. Ron shot up his hand.

"Professor, I want my sister to sit by me," he said.

"I think I'm quite fine right here. It would be a waste of time trying to reorganize so I could sit back there," Ginny replied.

"She will stay over there, Mr. Weasley," Snape said.

"Besides, she doesn't need to be in the pit of fire-you know, where the potions blow up." Pansy said.

"Can we get on with the lesson? I don't need a failing grade because we've talked the whole period," Ginny said annoyed.

"Yes, today we will be making Insam, the Invisibility Potion. Can anyone tell me how it received its name?" Snape said. Hermione's hand shot up. "Yes, Miss Granger?"

"It received its name from a smell it made after it begins to fade away."

"No, the scent was named with the potion. 20 points from Griffindor. Anyone else care to try?" Ginny raised her hand. "Miss Weasley?"

"It came when a wizard by the name of Samuel Davis was making a poison for his enemy. He accidentally placed a root instead of the root of belladonna. When his enemy disappeared in front of his eyes he was shocked. His enemy made noises and sounds and the sort soon driving Samuel insane. It used to be called 'Insane Samuel' until some one got tongue tied during a speech and said 'Insam' and it stuck there after."

"Very good. 50 points to Slytherin for the correct answer."

"That's not fair! You don't give a student 50 points for a correct answer. The most you've ever given any of your students is 25!" Hermione protested.

"10 points from Griffindor for arguing. Miss Weasley obviously did her work and delivered me a collage level analysis. She could have very well said it came from a guy name Samuel who went insane when a guy he tried to poison ended up going invisible instead and some one made from 'Insane Samuel' to 'Insam' which is the answer I would expect from some one at your level. Now don't argue."

Ginny, Draco, Pansy, and Blaise were the first ones done. They each filled a vile of the potion and labeled them. Ginny put them on Snape's desk.

"O's for each of you and you can do what you wish for the remainder of the period," Snape said.

Ginny sat back down.

"Ginny, what was with running to the bathroom and putting the blue streaks in your hair?" Pansy asked.

"Can you keep a secret?" Ginny replied. When they nodded their heads she asked, "Whom should I pick on?"

"How 'bout your brother and his friends?" Draco said.

Ginny stared at the fire so the potion would boil and soon the flames went out.

"What are you doing?" Draco asked. She held up a finger meaning wait. The laughed at the many failed attempts of relighting the fire. When all three of them tried it at once the flames shot up and caught the three of them on fire. Snape said a water charm that left them drenched.

"What was that about?" he asked coldly.

"What? They should know they were laughing at us! Ask them!" Harry said.

"We were merely laughing at the fact that it ended up taking all three of you to light it and you couldn't do it properly even then," Pansy said.

The bell rang and everyone began to file out.

"Mr. Malfoy if you would kindly wait outside the door for Miss Weasley I'd like to discuss something with her." Snape waited until the doors closed. "Miss Weasley, you're an elemental aren't you?"

"Yes. How'd you know?"

"I'm an Ice elemental and I know how much power a person can have when they practice their abilities. Interesting display today. I'm assuming your either Fire or Water?"
"Actually I'm all. I practiced all of them until I had each of them down pat."

"Nice. I know some students who have elemental abilities and have no idea whatsoever what they are and it becomes quite disruptive. Would you mind training them with me?"

"No. I think it should be quite fun."

"Thank you. I'll see you later."

When Ginny walked out she was bombarded with questions about what he wanted.

"He wanted to know if I could help him with something. That's all."

During lunch several students received notices about an extra class they needed to attend every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday night. Ginny smiled to herself as Draco, Pansy, and Blaise got the letters.

"A class at 7:30? You've got to be kidding." Blaise complained.

"Come on! It can't be that bad. Not everyone was invited so it must mean something good!" Ginny said.

"Do you know anything about this?" Draco asked suspiciously.

"It's being conducted by Snape. That's what it says on the letter."

"Like we didn't figure that out."

They went to the Common Room to start on homework. At 7:10 Ginny stood up.

"I've got to do something so I'll meet you there okay?"

She left and found Snape in the Room of Requirement. She walked in.

"You do realize that this is completely wrong for what we're doing. Get out."

They stepped out. Ginny imagined the room she had been in to train when they went back in it was identical to the one she was thinking of. It had ponds, fireplaces, a corner was snowing, another had lighting and rain, it all ran across the room. In the middle she had 10 circles getting larger with each one outward. She sat on the stump of a tree.

"Come on in, Professor Snape," she said.

"Nice. Where'd you get the idea to do this?"

"It's like the room I trained in. Only this doesn't give off the same comfort. Perhaps because none of the Shlindal have never been called in here. Pity."

"Shlindal? The elemental beings?"

"Yes. Now can I see your ice magic?"

"Sure."

Snape froze the fire and caused it to hail everywhere.

"Nice."

"But?"

"But nothing compared to what I could do."

She flipped her hair and the fire began to blaze more heatedly, the hail turned into lilies, and a tree started growing by the pond.

"Show off."

"Ice against Ice?"

"What do you mean?"

"A battle. We have about 5 minutes until the rest are supposed to be here."

"Okay.

Draco, Blaise, and Pansy walked together amidst the throng of students heading toward the ROR(Room of Requirement). They opened the door and everyone stood in shock at what they saw. What could be trees, ponds, fire and other things were frozen in its place. Spears of ice were being shot between Ginny Weasley and Professor Snape. Ginny finally froze Snape from the neck down. The students applauded. Ginny quickly unfroze him.

Snape melted everything else and turned to the class.

"The reason you all were invited to attend is because you all are elementals. You will be trained to control your elements."

"So you're going to be teaching us, Professor?" Hermione asked.

"Some of you. I can teach you how to reach out to your element and such. Which is why I have Miss Weasley here to help since she is more experienced. Most of you will train directly under her. Well, Miss Weasley, anything you'd like to add."

"Yeah, start training under another element, you'll only have to deal with six students." The students laughed.

"There's only six Ice elementals?"

"No, but the rest of them are duos, they'll need to be working on both elements at one time."

"I see."

Ginny turned to the class.

"Many of you will probably be drained at the end of each class for a couple of weeks due to inexperience. Also I'm to be addressed as 'Milno Weasley' and Professor Snape as 'Niro Snape'. Any questions?"

"Why should we call you those names?" a Ravenclaw huffed.

"Because it is respect. Niro is used for an elemental master who has complete skill over one element, Sira is multiple elements mastered, and Milno is all mastered or at the most only two unmastered."

"What if we don't want to do this?" a Hufflepuff asked.

"Then you can leave. I don't want to deal with people who don't try." A bunch started heading away. "But you'll be missing out on a chance win a trip with all expenses paid except for shopping. Food, room, travel paid, and at the minimum 5 million galleons." The students paused.

"What are you talking about?" Harry asked.

"There's an event called the High Tournament. You have 50 chances to place the highest amount to win being 14 billion galleons, 200 million sickles, and 350 Knuts located in 60 vaults across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the USA. Actually let me rephrase that, 49 chances to win the most being 6 billion galleons, 100 thousand sickles. All I have to do is put in a good word and the administer will have you in the tournament."

"Why'd you change from 50 to 49?" Hermione asked.

"Because I've been competing for the past 8 years. In those 8 years I have won first place each time."

"Who says your going to win this year?"

"Me and I'd say, oh, 5 million elementals and family. Plus Miik Village. Plus the elemental beings. Plus the centaurs. Plus-"

"OKAY! I get it!"

"Good. Then lets start. Niro Snape, would you like to take over for now? I think I'll take notes."

"Very well." He turned to the class. "Close your eyes. Now try to feel the element in your soul...."

Draco, Blaise, Pansy and Ginny walked back to the Slytherin Common Room together.

"Why didn't you tell us you were teaching?" Draco asked.

"I wanted it to be a surprise."

"Well, what can you tell us about our elements?" Pansy asked.

"Well, you have Fire, Water, and Wind. Draco has Wind, Earth, Fire and Water. And Blaise has Earth, Wind, and Water."

"So we can all do Water and Wind. Pity 'cause Wind is only good for healing."

"Actually, Wind is the deadliest if you can truly master it."

They were learning how to command their element when they heard a crash over where Ginny was standing and watching.

"Hey, 'Lil Sis!" A girl said to Ginny. She then yanked a lock of Ginny's hair turning it blonde.

"Lynn! Your not supposed to do that!"

"We're not having a battle. Besides, you make a cute blonde." She turned towards Draco, Pansy, and Blaise with their group. "Don't you think?" They nodded their heads.

"Fine! But since you're here, you have to do some work. You have to teach some of them to command their element." Ginny replied.

"What! Why?"

"Because you butted in.'
