Anything that you read and recognize from J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series obviously isn't my work. This is simply a fanfiction. Duh.

Setting:

Same setting as the 3rd Harry Potter book with a few minor changes.

Background Story:

Sky and Aimee are both American students going to study at Hogwarts. Sky is a 16 year old who wants to study abroad. Aimee, his adopted younger sister, is 14 years old and is very clingy to him. She wants to study at Hogwarts for her first year to be with him.

New Terms

Elemental Magic:

The "Final Fantasy" type of magic that consists of element-based spells, such as fire, water, ice, wind, light, etc. In this story, Aimee wants to learn elemental magic. Throughout the story, she will learn:

Igniculus caestus—"Fire Gauntlet" a fire-based spell that can shoot a small fireball from the hands or wand. The size and number of fireballs depends on magic skill. Once mastered, it can be cast without using a wand or staff.

Aquatio aedifico—"Water Creation" a water-based spell that can summon a limited amount of water to take on different forms. The amount of water and complexity of water's form depends on magic skill. Often used with glacio adflo. Always requires a wand or staff to cast.

Glacio adflo—"Freezing Breath" an ice-based spell that lets the caster breathe freezing wind for one breath. This spell can freeze water created by aquatio aedifico to create useful objects. (I.E. cast aquatio aedifico to make spheres of water, then freeze them with glacio adflo to make them solid, then launch them at people ) One of the easiest elemental spells, a cold breeze or a frost-bite inducing chill could be created, whichever one the caster wants. Extreme colds, such as ones that can make objects shatter, require a little more practice. Once a witch or wizard gets relatively good at casting glacio adflo, it can be cast without using a wand or staff.

Maturus—"Increase Growth" a plant-based charm that allows the caster to speed up plant growth in a specific, small area, but will speed up its death as well. Speed of growth and area affected are dependent on the size and number of plants and the magic skill of the user. Useful for playing jokes on people, like tossing a seed in someone's food and casting maturus on it.... Practical uses include gardening and food production. Once mastered, it can be cast without a wand or staff.

I'll come up with more spells as Aimee learns more, or if I need to add more for whatever reason.
