"OH OH that was brilliant can you teach me how to do that?" asked a very excited Isabelle, Harry and Ashley just smiled at the eager little girl.

"That is elemenatation, very few people can do that. You will eventually learn to Apperate though Izzy, which is almost the same thing, not quite though." said Ashley. Isabelle looked on at all the shops and wizards walking around Hogsmeade. "Well where to 'Frosty?", again Ashley chuckled at her own joke, while Harry glared at her.

"We need to get 'Izzy some school robes, and I need some new dress robes too." Harry said with very little excitement in his voice, thinking that having dress robes on his school list could mean only one thing; another ball.

"Don't worry Harry I can teach you how to dance. Don't want a sweet girl like Ginny to have broken toes, just cause she's got a goof like you for a boyfriend eh?" Ashley again was bantering with Harry, in truth Harry was getting used to it.

"Yeah, I agree....and quit reading my thoughts." Harry said. and they made their way towards 'Glad Rags' Ashley took the lead with Belle and Harry just behind her. Harry saw a brief chance for payback and sent a small shocking beam of lighting at Ash's bum. Isabelle was in hysterics laughing at Harry's joke and Ashley's face.

"HEY, no fair!....." she went on to mumble something under her breather. Harry just smiled, took Belle by the hand and entered the robe shop.

"Ohhh this is much nicer than the place with the nasty woman."Commented Belle. Harry nodded and walked towards the young man at the counter, who was staring at Ashley with an open mouth.

"Hi welcome to Glad Rags, how can I help you?" the man asked but his attention was still focused on Ashley, in fact he wasn't even looking at Harry.

"Eh right..." Harry noticed his attention and motioned for Ashley and Isabelle to come over. This young woman here needs 5 school robes, and I need a set of dress robes. So if you could get her measured up, and point me in the right direction." Harry said to the man.

"ri.right sure if the ladies would follow me , and you can go over that way and find the ...the..well you know." He said still not taking his eyes away. Harry laughed silently to himself while Ashley just smiled at the man and began to walk to the back of the store with Belle.

'Great service' thought Harry to himself. He made his way to the direction the man waved in and started looking at robe after robe. 'Light blue with dark trim...nah dark red with light trim...nah' Harry's thoughts went on like this for about 15 minutes when he finally spotted the perfect robes. They were a shining white, around the cuffs was a pattern of light blue dragon with green eyes, at the base of the robes there was a series of runes all in the same blue as the dragon. The robes were great, but Harry was sure that the attendant would be delaying Belle's robes to spend more time gawking at Ashley. Harry made his way to the back of the store to check on the progress. The man was moving a tape measure around Belle but still looking at Ashley who was playing with the man but smiling and batting her eyes. Harry thought it was time for some fun. He gave it a thought and where Ashley Moore once stood, a rough edged dangerous looking Ice Golem appeared. The man let out a small shriek, and Ashley turned towards Harry.

"Ashley could I see you up front for a sec.?" Harry asked wanting the man to finish up with his job so they could get on their way. It wasn't that he wasn't having a good time, but he had an appointment in 45 minutes to learn about his staff, and he wasn't about to miss that because of some boy with a crush.

"Sure Harry, what do you need?" Ashley asked knowing full well Harry just wanted the man to get his job done.

"Nothing just wanted him to get focused on something other than you. Hey what do you think of the robes I picked?" Harry asked pointing up to his robes which were hanging neatly on a rack by the counter.

"They look nice Harry, You coming tonight the train?" Ashley asked Harry who was glancing around the corner to make sure that 'Belle was okay alone.

"Yeah I am. I am meeting with someone in about an hour to train with my staff for a bit first, then I'm coming to have you torment me after that." Harry said smiling towards Ashley.

"Great, wouldn't have it any other way. Figure you can learn elementation tonight, don't know which you'll use though Ice or Lighting? maybe you can use both. Lighting is much faster but you can only take yourself , snow takes longer but you can take groups of people. I guess we will see tonight though." Ashley said once again getting excited about anything having to do with training. At this time the man came back up with Belle right behind him, she skipped up to Harry and Ashley and took each by the hand and walked them upto the counter. They both smiled at the girl who was so excited.

"Kay that will be 10 for the dress robes and 1 each for the school ones, 15 Galleons 4 knuts after the ministry tax." the man said once again staring at Ashley.

"Here ya go , and good-bye...thanks for your help" Harry gave the man the money, handed his robe to Ashley and took the five on the counter and walked out the door. "Come on you two we have to hurry back or I am going to be late." Harry said.

"All right grab hold." said Ashley holding out her hands again, Harry and Belle both took one, and as the attendant stared at Ashley through the window his eyes got wider as they were gone in a puff of snow.

When they arrived at Diagan Ally Harry only had 15 minutes untill he was to meet Jill at his room. "Okay Ash I have to hurry, I'm going to walk Izzy home, I will see you later this evening and you can torture me some more." Harry said to a smiling Ashley.

"It was a pleasure meeting you Ashley, I hope I get to see you again." Said Belle who quickly threw her arms around Ashley's waist giving her a big hug.

"Thanks Izzy it was nice meeting you too, look out for Harry for me if I'm ever not around okay?" asked Ashley

"Yeah ..you bet Ash...Bye" Belle said daring anyone to mess with her Harry. Harry smiled at the two girls talking about him. He thought about saying a nice good bye to Ashley but instead he sent another shock to her bum, and with a though made her disappear. Isabelle giggled "You guys are funny."

"Come on Belle, I'll walk you home okay." Harry did just that and with only 5 minutes to spare he made his way back to the Leaky Cauldron as fast as he could. He came inside, said hello to Tom the barkeep and went to his room to meet Jill.

A few moments passed by, while Harry was waiting for Jillian to arrive Harry read his book on concealing charms. Harry had just managed to make his bracelet disappear when their was a knock on the door. "Hello Prof. Smithers, I am Harry. Nice to meet you." Harry said smiling at the young womans face when he called her 'Prof.". She was a tall woman with a good build to her, long black hair, with ocean blue eyes, she wore robes of an equal blue and when they shimmered off the light it appeared to have waves crashing over her entire body. 'Another elemental' Harry thought to himself. He had gone his whole life without meeting one, and now they were appearing like they were going out of style. 'Maybe they awaken more often in times of danger, since Voldemort has been so weak for the past 14 years their hasn't been a need for many, but now that he is coming back to full power, they are a bit more common.' The thought made since to Harry, as he took in the womans bracelet, a royal blue. Between that and the robes Harry new for certain that she was a water elemental.

"Hello Mr. Potter, I can't thank you enough for what you did for me. And please call me Jill until the school year starts." Said Jill

"Only if you call me Harry, and It was no problem at all, and I am sure that you will be much more pleasant than Snape." Said Harry smiling at the fact that Prof. Snape would not be able to deduct hundreds of house points from Gryffindor this year.

"Ha, I think Voldemort is more pleasant than Snape." Jill spit his name out obviously with no love lost for her old Prof. This also made Harry happy.

"Okay Harry lets get started," She held out her left wrist and a silver bracelet, she pointed to it with her wand and muttered an unknown incantation. Instantly the bracelet unhooked from her wrist and hovered next to her hand. A moment later it was taking shape into a wooden staff, with 25 razor sharp teeth holding in place a bright blue sapphire, it had a small glow to it.

"This Harry," She said pointing to her staff. "is a staff of Neptune, it is quite rare and I am very proud of it." She said while smiling adoringly at the woodwork infront of her. "Well lets see your then." she held a hand out letting Harry know he had the floor. He thought hard for a brief second and with a little wandless magic, he held out his hand and with a thought it came rushing for his hand.

'finite incateam' Harry said and where a tooth pick sized object once was, a beautiful purple staff took its place. Harry took hold gave a quick twirl and looked up to Jill Smithers awe struck open mouth. "The Requiem!" She was stunned. "How? Lore says that he was buried with that staff. How do you have it? She asked very quickly. Harry looked on in amazement at the woman. He knew that staff would be rare and powerful, but he was hoping that he wouldn't need to explain where he acquired the staff.

"Lets say it was a gift...and leave it at that." His tone was not to be questioned. "So what can you tell me about 'The Requiem'?" Harry asked wanting to find out a little about his new toy before he went about learning how to use it.

"'Requiem' is said to have been crafted by Rayden himself. At the core lies the Heartstrings of Solaris one of very few White Thunder Dragons. The orb atop is actually diamond layered so thin it is transparent. It obviously now carries two beaded lighting bolts the original was a piece of Rayden's soul, and I'm guessing that the second now contains a piece of yours. The Rod itself is made from hollowed out Amythesit. A work of art Harry, and you are lucky to be in possession of it." Said Jillian. While she was saying all this it was Harry's turn look on open mouthed as Jillian explained the orign of his Staff.

"Can you teach me how to wield it properly, such a valuable tool I want to put it to good use." Harry said hopeing that he would take to the lessons as easily as he did with others. And he did. Jillian went over all the basics of staff movements. She tough him lunges, controlled swings, overhead and sidemounted blocks.

"You have to remember Harry how important continuos motion is when fighting with a Stave, keep moving at all times. That means you and your staff, the fighting style I use is called 'deathdancing'. Graceful and Dangerous. Let's practice a little more on your form, and then you can have a go at me." Jill said happy that Harry was such a quick learner. They kept at the training for another hour untill Jill thought Harry was upto speed to try a duel. "All right Harry muggle style duel, no spells, or elements." Harry looked on at her in shock he had used the strongest concealment charm in that book to hide his bracelet. "Harry there is no way you would be able to hold onto that staff if you weren't a Lighting elemental, give up the cherade, you can trust me I promise." she said. Harry did trust her for some reason, but he still left the bracelet concealed. 'no need for her to know about the ice just yet' Harry though.

"Okay how does this work then?" Asked Harry wanting to change the subject. Jill looked on knowingly, but went ahead anyway.

"All right fine three point duel, you score a point for disarming or a knock-down." Jill said and with that the duel started. Jill went easy at first attacking and giving a tip here or there on how Harry could better is blocks, and different combinations to use. Things were heating up fast though. Harry swung over the top, Jill blocked sent the but end of her staff to Harry's gut, and with a quick spin around him sent the tip into the back of his Knee. Harry was down and Jill had scored the first point.

"This is the most painful training I've ever had." Harry said as he made his to his feet. They both took their positions again and this time Harry went on the offensive, swinging left to right, and back again twirling his staff and his body like she had tough him. Jill blocked a well aimed blow at her shoulder but Harry connected with the back end of his staff into her solarplex, She was stunned and Harry took advantage landing a stike to her knuckles and disarming her. "one to one." Harry said and Jill came back to her ready stance.

"Wow and you can count too." she said with a smile before using her staff as balance and place a flying side kick into Harry's chest, forcing him to stumble backwards.

"Didn't know we were using feet too?" Harry asked rubbing his chest but still grinning takeing her joke in stride.

"And now you do." She tried the same move again. Harry ducked and twirled still low to the ground anticipating where she would land. And when she did Harry swept her feet and scored another point.

"Very good Harry, your reflex's are quick...Quiditch player" Jill remembered from the two years that her and Harry were in school together.

"Yeah, Gryffindor seeker since my first year." Harry wasn't sure why he was bragging, but he very much wanted the respect of the woman.

"Very well two to one." She launched into a valley of offensive moves and Harry could barely keep up his blocks. He tried a kick to her side, but she was too quick she chopped his foot before it ever got to it's target. Quickly followed by another blow to his kneecap he buckled and hit the floor. The point was Jill's. "Two to two, next point wins." She said smartly , very excited about being in a duel with a capable wizard. Most competitions she entered she won with a half-heated attempt.

"Okay come on, and don't hold back just cause I am new." Harry said landing a strike to her hip and another to her shoulder followed quickly by one more to her knee. Jill held her ground and sent a kick to Harrys chin backing him up a few steps. She looked up and smiled.

"The last few points I haven't been holding back Harry. You're very good, not good enough...not good enough...but good." The end of the duel was fast and furious, both competitors were determined and relentless. Ten minutes passed before another point was won. In the end it was Jill sending a quick jab to Harry's right shoulder spinning him around. She quickly put her staff between Harry's spinning feet and with another swift kick, Harry was sent tumbling to the ground defeated. "That was amazing Harry. No one has ever kept up with me like that, heck I've been training all my life." Jill said still smiling like an idiot ear to ear.

"I agree Jill." Said an un-observed spectator from the doorway of room # 21. Albus Dumbledore then went on. "Most impressive by you as well as Mr. Potter. I hope you don't mind the intrusion, but I called on you at the book store, and your mother said you were here." The old wizard said as he looked down at Harry who was making his way back to his feet.

"No, I don't mind at all Albus. Always glad to see you, and I believe you are here to see Jill right?" Harry asked knowing the answer already.

"You are correct Harry, If I could barrow your new teacher for a time, we could go down stairs Prof. Smithers?" Albus asked the young woman who was simply glowing at being addressed by the headmaster as Prof.

"No No stay here and talk for as long as you like. I have somewhere I must be." Harry said. His adrenaline was pumping hard and he knew after what he did to Ashley before he sent her away that she may want some payback. Albus agreed and Harry went over to his desk and scribbled a note quickly.

Prof. Smithers

Please meet me at midnight on September 1st. Secrecy is of the utmost importance. Shrieking Shack in Hogsmeade is the location. There will be others but very few.

Harry

He handed the note to Jill, who looked positively intrigued. Prof. Dumbledore looked on amused and frustration were two emotions showing clearly on his face. Harry walked over to his Book of Element turned to the Portkey page, place his hand on the emblem and was gone before the old wizard could question the note.

He arrived with Ashley standing a foot from his face looking furious. "Ah come on get off it was just a joke." Harry said. Her expression didn't waver, so he decided to take a page out of her book. He moved a single finger around his head creating a 'halo of ice and he pointed to it. Ashley broke down into a laugh and smiled.

"Well don't do it again.....and who knows I may still decide to get even later." Ashley said

"Yeah ...I know you will. Hopefully it won't be to embarrassing. Harry said knowing full well that she would do something to get back at him.

"Are you going to use that to train or your wand Harry?" Ashley asked pointing to Harry's staff. "And get that ridicules 'halo off your head, that is my trick and your not allowed to use it against me." She said while she was sticking her tongue out at Harry something she was quite fond of doing.

"So where do we get started tonight huh?" Asked Harry getting excited like he always did when he was wanting to learn something new.

"Well lets see your progress on your Anamagus form , then will see if you can apperate with two kinds of elementation, and last but not least we will go over some of the connections that you and I have." Ashley said going into all business mode. Harry nodded and concentrated hard on becoming a snow leopard. He felt his hands turn to paws, the claws perturbing his skin and the sharp pain the accompanied them, his feet did the same and he felt the change continue up just passed his shins. His head also took shape for the first time and it was most painful. He felt millions of hairs erupting like volcanoes out of his face his eyes narrowed and his vision became crisp he was able to pick up everything around the room crystal clear. His nose also became smaller, and his sense of smell became even more keen than his eyesight. He could smell the scent that was coming off of Ashley and it was delectable, flowers and shampoo Harry though. A few seconds later his body was back to normal and he was on the ground from his pain. "Wow Harry your making great progress." Ashley said very proud of her student. Harry however was groggy, He couldn't see anything better than a blur, and he could still smell that scent of perfume and flowers.

"Ashley something's gone wrong, I can't see anything, everything's so blurry(no puddle of mud pun intended)." Harry was really scared now his resistance plans against Voldemort wouldn't go so well if he was blind. He took off his glasses with his eyes closed rubbing that would help. when he finished rubbing them he went to put back on his glasses, before the glasses reached his face Harry opened his eyes. Everything was crystal clear just like when he was in his form. "Amazing" Harry whispered.

"What? What is it Harry can you see?" Ashley asked her voice full of concern.

"Yeah Ash, I can see better than before. My eyes are just like they were I transfigured. Vision was blurry because of my glasses." Harry said still moving his head from side to side, staring in awe at everything around him. "Guess I don't need these anymore." Harry said taking his glasses and sliding them onto Ashley. Laughing at how she looked in them. "Ha you look funny, and smart." Ashley laughed.

"So I don't look smart without glasses eh?" Ashley joked. Harry didn't respond just laughed some more. 'He's pretty cute without those glasses, and when he laughs like that.' Ashley thought little did she know that Harry was picking up everyword. He was in a fit of laughter positively rolling on the ground. "What is so funny Mr. Potter?" she asked.

"Nothing just that I heard what you just thought. And you know what they say, Revenge is like the sweetest joy next to get...." He stopped right there getting really embarrassed at what he was about to say. Ashley looked confused but let it drop anyway.

"Great now I have to watch what I think and what I say....no fair." Ashley said.

"Oh it was all great fun when you were doing it remember?" Harry said pointingly to Ashley who was still faking a pouting look.

"Whatever lets see if we can get you to elementate, with Ice and Lighting. Both have their advantages as I told you earlier. It's all a matter of will power really, you just think really hard on where you are , and then on where you want to go. Well don't stand there grinning like an idiot give it a try." She said smiling at Harry. Harry thought hard about appearing behind Ashley, and he was gone and back again with a gust of snow.

"Hey nice bum." Harry said teasingly at Ashley who now spun around to look at him.

"Think your funny do ya?" Ashley said and with a thought of her own she was on Harry's shoulders. They both laughed before Harry thought about another spot a few meters away. He was gone but Ashley landed right on her 'Arse. Harry saw this when he reappeared and had a good laugh. "Ah your a clever one, okay now try it with lighting, don't know much about how to do this one, try thinking about a bolt coming down and then you going back up with it, then coming down on another spot maybe that will work." She said rather clueless.

Harry did just what she told him and it worked instantly, It was so much faster than the snow trick. "Wow that is bloody brilliant." Harry said

"All right show-off, since you've already discovered the mind link.." She looked alittle embarrassed at this sentence. "...were done for today, dueling, curses, and dark magic tomorrow night. Harry said good bye and felt the Portkey taking him back to the Leaky Cauldron.

When he arrived Prof. Dumbledore and Smithers were both gone. A black falcon was perched on his window however. Harry saw this and went to let the bird in. Harry looked for a note but there was nothing on the bird's leg.

A moment later a man stood where the bird once was. He was young and Harry recognized him immediately by his blue-green wristband. Sario Linvall the hitwizard and air elemental from Gringotts. "Mr. Linvall. When I asked you to send word on your investigation, I didn't not think that you would come personally." Harry finished his statement shocked that the man had came instead of sending an Owl.

"I am much more reliable than an Owl Mr. Potter. They are easily intercepted. And the news I bring if much to important." Sario said with importance in his voice. Harry was intrigued, he very much wanted to know what Lucious Malfoy was after.

"What is it Mr. Linvall? what were they after?" Harry asked

"Two vaults apparently, The first was a trust vault, your trust vault. And before you say you don't have one, you wouldn't know about it untill your 17th birthday." He paused a moment to give Harry time to catch what he just said. 'The deatheaters were after something my parents left me' Harry thought to himself.

"What was the other vault?" Harry asked

"It was a storage vault, registered to the Ministry of Magic:department of mysteries. Inside is information on every spy, witness, aurora, hitwizard, and the only known list of Order of Phoenix members." Harry looked stunned that information would be deadly if in Voldemorts hands. "And Fudge still denies, the return of Voldemort. I doubt Albus Dumbledore has told a lie in his entire life. If he says that Voldemort is back, than he is back. Not to mention the fact that those robbers you stopped were clearly deatheaters." Sario was getting steamed now. "Threatened to take my job away if I didn't file another report...Fool."

"Thank you for the report Mr. Linvall, Please be intouch if you find any information on Voldemort or his deatheaters."

"I will do just that Mr. Potter. Good-bye" Sario said as he turned back to his falcon form and flew out the open window. Harry dressed for bed, and fell into a deep sleep.

Syd- Harry will probably apologize to Ginny, He's kinda clueless when it comes to girls. Keep reading.

BigDaddy753 - Hey thanxs for the review , nice name too.

Lord Tiger VII - Hmm lots of questions Kay

1.)Harry's Ice side is more natural than his lighting not nescarily more powerful

2.)Nah Sages are completely different than elementals. however all sages have elemental powers, and are Anamagus. You can be an elemental without being a sage. And you can be an Anamagus without being an elemental.

3.)Ice and Lighting travel ..yep appears so

4.)As it stands right now I have a schematic of 4 prime elements (earth,air,fire,water) and four sub-elements(plant,lighting,smoke,ice) Each has its own strengths.

5.)Harry's staff is stronger than wand

everpresent - I agree Hermione and Ginny are going to love Izzy. and yeah I have a load of characters to keep track of, hopefully I will do a good job of remembering them.

Sugar Quill - You don't by chance like snow do you? j/k Glad you like my story.
