I'm sorry, it took me so long to ' edit ', but I was reading this chapter over again, and I practically ended up re-writing the whole thing. So here you go...

Chapter 2

"I was just, just..." she thought about telling Ginny what she really thought happened but decided against it. "I'm not really sure what happened"

Ginny gave her look that told her she wasn't buying it but didn't say anything. She walked about the room looking at the mess. "Well we better get this cleaned up before my mum comes in here or she'll go mad."

After they were done they settled on Ginny's bed and she tried to get Hermione to explain to her again what had happened.

"Are you sure your okay?"

"Im fine."

"I knew I shouldn't have left you alone."

"Ginny don't worry, I'm fine, I-I just need to clear my head."

"Okay, I'll see you later then"

Hermione immediately went the bathroom and washed her face. The water was cool but it didn't help her feel much better. She looked at herself in the mirror then at her hands. What is happening to me?

She looked back at herself in the mirror and saw how she looked unusually pale. She looked like a mess, like the mirror so kindly reminded her when she entered the bathroom. It always had something to say like "What a dreadful blouse!" or "How awful!" or sometimes it would just laugh.

Hermione noticed a cup that lay by the sink. She took a deep breath and determinedly put her hand out towards the cup. She raised her hand slowly but nothing happened. She tried again, but this time she took her time and focused on the cup. As her hand slowly raised the cup followed it into the air.

She let out a surprised laugh. The cup was floating in mid-air in front of her. "Ginny!" She ran out of the bathroom. "Ginny!"

"What's wrong?" Ginny met her at door of the bedroom. "Come inside, I have to show you something"



"Hermione, what are you trying to do?"

"I'm trying to move the cup" she stated like it was the most obvious thing.

"You mean like this?" Ginny picked up the cup and slid it to the left.

Hermione glared at her.

"Just wondering" she said putting her hands up.

Why isn't it working, she thought. Then she realized she probably wasn't concentrating hard enough, So she concentrated on sliding the cup across the table instead of rising it in the air, like she did in the bathroom.

She waved her hand at the cup and it went flying across the room and shattered on the wall.

"Oops. Sorry about tha- She looked towards Ginny, to find she was wearing a surprised grin on her face.

"You have to teach me how to do that." Ginny seemed to be taking the news well, just like Hermione thought she would. "Wait,.. is that how everything in the room was... "I didn't mean to," Hermione blurted out. "I was just angry I guess"

"About what?"

Hermione looked up at Ginny. "Umm, it's nothing really. We don't have to talk about it."

Ginny opened her mouth to protest but there was a knock at the door.

Hermione and Ginny jumped into bed and pulled the covers over them just as Mrs. Weasly came in. "Light's out girls, there's a busy day tomorrow"

"Okay", Good-night mum" "Good-night"

Mrs. Weasly left as quickly as she came in, and the girls resumed to there conversation.

"Why were you angry?"

"It's nothing" said Hermione getting out of bed and gathering up some books not meeting Ginny's gaze. "No, tell me"

Hermione put the books down on her bed and turned to face Ginny. "Fine...she took a deep breath...Victor broke up with me." She said still not meeting the redhead's eyes.

"He broke up with you?? Why?

Hermione told her about the phone call she had with Victor, which seemed to explain it all.

"What a jerk! I'm really sorry Hermione. Ginny added with a sad expression on her face.

"Its okay, I feel better already because I told someone. Just promise not to tell Harry or Ron, I want to tell them myself."

Later that evening Hermione did only what Hermione could do. She got all her books to research hoping that she would find and answer. Ughh! I wish I was at hogwarts. I could really really use their library right now she thought as she flipped the next page. "Wait there it is!" She said.

Wandless Magic a rare and coveted gift. That few witches and wizards posses. Occuring once in a lifetime this gift allows the witch or wizard to posses magical powers. There is one common form of wandless magic, that of appearating and Disappearating . The other forms are much less common. Examples of powers some witches and wizards were gifted with was that of Sir Richard Mendel. He had the power to astral project and become invisible at will also there was a rumor of him being able to create electricity at will but there is no proof of him actually doing so. Also Glenda Hart a witch with the gift of starting fires with her mind. There are probably more wizards with wandless magic than is know and some wandless magic can run through family ties. Now this is more common. An example is the Charmed ones. Piper Phoebe, Paige and their deceased sister Pruedence Halliwell, all posses wandless magic as so will there offspring.

"Wow.... Ginny wake up! Ginny...wake up!" She kept nudging her best friend until Hermione was sure she would fall off the bed.

"What?!" Ginny finally said groggily.

"Read this"

"Are you mad? You woke me up to read?"

"Read this!" She said as shoved a flashlight and book under her nose and waited impatiently for Ginny to finish.

"You have powers?" she had a wicked grin on her face. Are you going to tell Harry and Ron? She asked.

"Ginny ! That's not the point." I mean Powers?! Why me? She thought. I don't even now the first thing about them.

"What if there dangerous?" she asked. Now she was starting to get paranoid. "What people try to kill me for them? You heard the book there coveted and—

"Okay Hermoine I get it". Said Ginny. "Youre obviously freaking out. But calm down it'll be fine. This is probably the best thing that's ever happened. She added changing the subject lightly. "I mean I would kill for powers like that. "she looked towards Hermoine eyeing her reaction.

"Ginny!"

"I'm kidding"--- Hermione gave her a sharp look – "Okay! Jeez, Good night. " Ginny turned over in her bed and pulled the covers up and Hermione did the same.

Five and a half hours later Lupin came into the room to wake Hermione up at... "5:47! Are you mad?" She asked.

"Come on get up. Ill meet you in the drawing room at 6:oo with Harry and Ron." "What?" She asked groggily.

"You've got 15 minutes", he added and left. Hermione didn't wake up Ginny. "At least one of can sleep in" she said grouchily. She got dressed and made her way down to the drawing. She saw Harry and Ron there. They also seemed to be here against there will. She joined them complaining and...........suddenly Hermione realized she had dozedoff while she was standing up. Lupin walked in front of the trio and began to speak.

"Yes, I know you are all tired, but I have brought you here for good reason. Today you'll start your training."

He waited as if for some excitement, but all he got was Ron's snoring.

"Okay, Harry will you please step outside, Moody is there to talk to you about your training while I talk to Hermione and Ron."

"Ron wake up!" Said hermione

"Huh? He jerked awake. "What happened?" She laughed at him.

"Okay!" Said Lupin. "We have decided to train you. All of us believe that it would be good for you to know how to fight and duel because you 3 are in a position where you would need to know more defensive skills then most wizards and witches your age."

Hermione knew that was true. The 3 of them always ended up in some kind of trouble.

"Plus there are obvious reasons why we must train Harry but you 2 arent as involved as he is. But you are still his friends and a liable target. I'm not trying to scare you but- "You sound like my dad" Hermione mumbled. "Well your dad is right" said Lupin Hermione looked at him surprised that he even heard her. "Voldermort would likely go after the people close to Harry just to get to him." She knew he was talking about Sirius.

She concluded that this whole training idea was a good one. She wasn't even sure if Ron was listening but he just kept nodding his head even after Lupin stopped talking.

When Harry came in Hermione wondered why Lupin wanted Moody to talk to him separately. Then she thought that Harry would just blame himself for the supposed danger he put her and Ron in just by being their friends. "Okay now that your all together" said Lupin. "Kingston has brought one of his friends to help train you until you start school. They are both arours so you'll be trained by the best. But Kingston's partner will only be here every other day, so when he's not here Moody and myself will be filling in. They'll be here soon, so if you'll excuse me I have some errands I have to run."

Kingston came in a few minutes later with a man dressed in all black. The man's eyes were piercing blue surrounded with dark eyelashes. It was the first thing you would notice on a man wearing all black. His hair was black, and his skin pale, yet attractive.

"Hello, I would like you to meet Evan Taubenfeld. He is a member of the order." He was rather young probably 28. He seemed strong and gentle at the same time. Evan stuck out his hand.

Harry awkwardly stood up to meet him followed by the rest of the trio. "I guess we can get started now" said Kingston speaking first. "Lets warm up first. Practice your Patronuses, and then we can move on to something different."

So they did for a while until Kingston told them to stop. "You all seem to have that one down so...Evan?"

Evan got up and stood in front of Kingston. Now the one I'm going to show you is a little more complicated, which they only teach you in your seventh year if you're becoming an arour. Its another form of a stunning spell except your opponent will stayed stunned for longer and it's more painful" he added "Ready?...he waited for them to nod and then continued. "You do this" He did some complex wave with his wand Harry didn't even catch the slightest way in how to do, then he pointed his wand and said Comastefy!

A blue stream of light shot out of Kingston's wand and surged through Evans body. He looked as if his whole body was being tightened up as the light went through him, then he just collapsed to the ground.

Hermione gasped and ran next to his still body. "What happened?"

"He's been stunned. It's like he's entered a certain state of comatose."

"What?!"

"Don't worry he'll come out of it in about 5 minutes."

"What's comatose?" Asked Ron

"It's when you go into a coma." Replied Harry distractedly staring at Evan.

"Huh?"

"A coma is kind of like if you were unconscious, but you don't wake up for days, months or evens years. It's a muggle term." Hermione answered

"After Evan wakes up you'll be practicing the spell on inatamate objects. Then later you'll try them on each other.

"Come again?" Ron's voice squeaked.

"No one said this was going to be easy." He paused then continued like there was no interruption. "Now most typical shield spells will not counter the spell. Usually it penetrates anyways. But there is one that will work, but is extremely difficult to teach. But I am not going to teach it to you until after you have practiced the other spell on each other because you guys need to—

"Be injured?" Interrupted Ron

"To be prepared," finished Kingston giving Ron a sharp look.

Evan began to stir on the floor. He let out a small groan while he turned on to lie on his back. "Ahhh, my head," he put a hand on his head messaging his temples. "Urgh," he got himself up. "That stings." He said looking up at Harry, Ron and Hermione— "Oh..." he suddenly saw there terrified looks." I mean...no it doesn't." "Don't worry Evan, they have to get use to it."

First they practiced the Wand motion which took about ten minutes to get down. After they all took target practice on pillow cushions. They did the y spell repeatedly until it looked right. Kingston had them practicing for almost an hour until he decided to move to the next step. Practicing it on people.

Hermione was the first one to go. She seemed absolutely horrified to have to inflict that type of pain on Harry, but what other way can you learn?

"Don't worry, it's not worse then the Crucio curse." He reassured her smile. Although that wasn't much reassurement she got up and stood across from Harry waiting.

"On 3" said Evan. She looked at him then nodded her head.

"1...2...3!" She waved her wand skillfully like she had down the spell a million times.

Harry thought only Hermione could do something perfect on her first try, it's just the way she is. Hemrione carefully pointed her wand...Here it comes, he ! Again the blue light shot out and surged through Harry's body. The pain was intense, he felt himself falling to the ground...

"Urgh, What happened.?" Harry opened his eyes, then remembered everything.

"Oh," he said getting up. Good job Hermione.

"You were down for less then a minute Harry. "

"I was?" now he was rubbing his temples.

"I'm very impressed Hermione, not many wizards get it on there first try."

"But I didn't get it. "

"True but you got him unconscious at least, most wizards even fail to do that. All you need is more practice. Okay, Harry you can rest now, Ron it's your turn."

"Wait, I have to do it to Hermione?! No way!

"Oh, stop it Ron, I'm not scared."

"Yeah but still. I cant hurt you! you're-you're a girl."

Harry smiled, he would have probably felt the same way Ron did, so he was glad it wasn't him up there.

Hermione rolled her eyes at him and took her place across the room. "I can handle it."

Ron had to try it 3 times. The first and second time all he got was sparks, but the third time Hermione was down for over a minute. After, Harry practiced on Ron, although it took him awhile to convince him to stay still long enough to aim the spell. He got it on his first try, just like Hermione. Next Kingston and Evan decided to teach them the counter spell for it.

"Repeat after me, Equantuva."

"Equantuva" they all said in unison.

"Good job. Now, follow me," He did a complicated wave that looked like he was trying to compose an orchestra. It took them all at least 20 minutes to get it in one fluid motion.

"Okay, were going to practice on pillows again." Evan had already stacked all the pillows in 3 piles. "Pick a pile and start.

"Attack of the pillows" said Ron sarcastically taking the pile to the right.

Hermione went to the left and Harry was in the middle. They practiced the spell by themselves all shouting "Equantuva!" at different intervals. Kingston was right, this spell was difficult. Just when they all thought no one was going to get it, Harry was the first.

The minute the spell left his mouth, it was like a clear liquid shot out of his wand to form a wall between him and the pillows. But, once he put his wand down the wall disappeared like vapor into thin air. Hermione and Ron had stopped practicing to watch Harry's formation take place and dissolve. Harry seemed stunned that he had got it as well as Kingston.

"Good job!" Evan said absolutely thrilled. "Well done Harry" Kingston added obviously impressed. "You have a real gift."

After another 10 minutes no one else seemed to be getting it so they decided to call it a day and end training at 8:25.

There were all happy that they could go upstairs to get some extra sleep, but the minute Harry plopped down on his bed Mrs. Weasley's voice rang through the entire manor. Breakfast is ready!

They all groaned but reluctantly went down stairs. Ron's head kept nodding on and off during the meal while Harry seemed to be struggling to stay awake. Summer was suppose to be a time to sleep in, but not for them. They were probably the only 3 teenager that had to get up before 6:00 am. Even at Hogwarts you could sleep in later then that! After they ate though, they felt a little more energized. Getting up early was going to take some getting use to.

The next day they were up again at 6:00 training with Lupin. His lessons were a lot like D.A. in there fifth year. Lupin had help from Kingston and Mad eye moody, so it was 1 teacher for every student. That way the teacher could focus on their individual strengths and weaknesses.

Lupin was with Harry, Kingston with Ron and Moody with Hermione. Okay ms. Granger Lets work on your dodging skills.

"Im going to hit you with a spell and you have 3 choices. You either move so it doesn't hit you, throw a counter spell or you could let it hit you and see how much you can really take."

Hermione looked at him as if he was crazy and he probably was but—"Expelliarmus!" He yelled.

"AHHH!" The spell hit her hard and she went flying back as she felt her wand leave her hand. But lucky for her the wall broke her fall and she fell to the ground.

She looked up to see Mad eye Moody hovering over her. "Magnus!" Said Lupin. "This is training not deuling!" "I gave the girl fair warning!" He responded. "But— "It's alright, I'm fine". Hermione interrupted picking herself up. She should have been ready for that knowing what Moody was capable of. "See," he said "She's fine." "Yeah" Hermione looked over to Lupin and nodded, so everyone just went back to what they were doing.

She managed to be hit only twice the rest of the time and other times she came pretty close. The rest of the week was pretty much the same. One day with Kingston and Evan and the other with Lupin and Moody.

On Saturday they didn't have any lessons. One Saturday Hermione and were in Ginny were in there rooms. Hermione noticed something was bothering Ginny but just continued reading her book. Finally she couldn't take it anymore.

"What?"

"What?" Ginny repeated.

"Ginny" her voice was more stern

"Fine, fine. I was just wondering why you're not going to tell Harry and Ron about your powers."

"Because, I changed my mind"

"Why? "

"I don't know. I'm just confused, All I know is I want to talk to Dumbledore first."

"Fine there your powers, your choice. "

Hermione gave her a look jus t as an owl flew into Ginny's lap.

"Our Hogwarts letters!" She handed Hermione hers. "Wow, we've got a lot of stuff this year. Good thing Fred and George are rich. She said with a smile. C'mon let's go down stairs and show mum. "The next day they all decided to go to Diagon Alley.



Sorry if this chapter was boring, but it gets interesting later I promise. I just have to get all this before school stuff out of the way first so when they get to Hogwarts it's better.

I've decided Hermione is going to have only to have telepathy, and telekinesis. Anymore and she wouldn't need a wand, right?
