(I changed mandy to Brooke)

Ginny sat in the griffindor head girl room working on the hordes of homework the teachers had been piling on. She let out a deep breath as she finished. She looked around and found that sky and Evan weren't done yet. She laid back on the floor and thought about the latest events. She was now dating the man she'd dreamed off all her child hood. And he was an elf who would have thunk it. She had owled her mom a few days ago to tell her about Harry, she had also told Charlie. It was weird in a way that all of her brothers didn't know about her, her mum and Charlie. But you needed special permission to tell non-elves about their world, you had to apply for it and the king's advisors would grant you the privilege. But those old farts took forever, she knew that if they went directly to a member of the royal family they would have been given permission right away but "that just isn't done" in the words of her mother. Ginny wouldn't be surprised if they had gotten permission long ago but her mother had simply "forgotten". You see Molly Weasly didn't really want to tell her son's about her lineage because she feared it would lead to them thinking that she favoured her children that had turned out to be like her, or make them jealous. You see it was impossible to be half elf, either you are or your not. With mixed marriages only some of the children carry the gene of elfishness. Now that Ginny thought about it she wondered how Harry had managed to get permission to tell Dumbledore, oh well she thought, she'd have to ask him later. Ginny pulled out her schedule to see that her first DADA class since finding out about Harry was tomorrow. Ginny smirked. This is going to be interesting. You see all week Brooke Smith had been gushing over how hot Harry was, when ever she passed him in the hall she would bat her eyelashes and say 'hello Professor' her voice dripping with honey. Brooke was a preppy blond (a/n no offence to blonds) who never had a strand of hair out off place. Ginny looked at her schedule once more. She had DADA 3 times a week. But only two this week since school had started on a Thursday. Ginny took out her disc man that she had magically powered to work in hogwarts and started listening to her white stripes cd. You see elfs were very in tune with the muggle world and you would be surprised to find out that a lot of the performers out there were indeed elfs themselves.

Harry looked up as his 7th year class came in. he let his eyes linger on Ginny for a few moments as she entered. She wore the dame thing as the first day or school except today her make up was a little darker and her wore a black choker. Her hair was in a loose braid that hung over her shoulder.

Harry cleared his throat to get everyone's attention. 'Last class I gave you a run down of what you would be doing this year in terms of the newts. But as some of you might not want to admit there are things more important than the newts. We are in the middle of a war, my job is to prepare you for dangerous situations as well as prepare you for the newts. With the permission of the headmaster I have set up a room on the 2nd floor for practice. It contains anything you would need to practice defence as well as offence, the wizard way as well as the muggle way. I encourage you to use it and it's also a hell of a lot safer for practicing spells than a crowded common room. All right, as I said last day most theory would be done as homework leaving class time for practical work, did everyone do there reading? Good. Now we are going to try actually doing the spell. Not all of you will be able to produce a potranus but if you can pretty much save your life... yes miss smith.' 'Prof. How can you expect us to produce a potransu you have to be an extremely powerful witch or wizard, she batted her eyelashes, like you, to produce one, besides it's not even in the cirriculum'

Ginny looked at Brooke exasperatedly 'were in a war Smith, it doesn't matter if its in the cirriculum or not. And if you paid more attention to whats going on in the wold than batting your eyelashes maybe you would know that the dementors have gone rogue' Brooke just glared. Harry cleared his throat 'exactly' 'Well Weasley if your so great why don't you show us' Harry winked at ginny ' yea that would be great, a demonstration' Ginny stood and walked to the front of the room. As she passed Brooke, she got tripped. Ginny was about to fall ungracefully to the floor... you see it's a boyfriends first instinct to protect the women he loves whether it from a dark lord, getting there pride bruised or falling ungracefully to the floor is it not? Ginny was about to fall ungracefully to the floor when she was caught in the strong arms of her defense against the dark arts prof.

'Once again you find the need to save me' Ginny sighed dramatically. Harry chuckled. Brooke glared. 'all right, find a happy thought, Ginny closed her eyes and concentrated on the feeling she got when she saw the shining aura surrounding her and Harry, ok now say the incantation loudly and clearly.' Ginny opened her eyes' EXPECTO POTRONUM'

A silver panther erupted from her wand. The look on Brooke's face was priceless. Ginny just smiled sweetly. Harry coughed to hide his laughter 'Thank you Miss Weasly you can take your seat now'

As Ginny took her seat she passed Brooke

'Well that's what a protranus should look like although the forms will vary. Remember like all spells you must speak clearly and confidently. You might have to try several different happy thoughts because some might not be strong enough. Please stand.' With a swish of his wand harry moved all the furniture to the sides of the room. 'now I want all of you to try it, I'll be walking around helping those of you who need it. If you master it, after you've shown me, then I would like you to help others.'

The class set to work on producing a potranus. Harry wandered around the class helping the slightly weaker students.

'So Ginny what was your happy memory, imagining that one day you would be able to actually buy something new?' harry turned around to find Brooke taunting Ginny.

'and Ginny that was sooo graceful of you before , I'm certain Professor potter was very impressed' 'well at leat you don't see me, Ginny batted her eyelashes and said in a high pitch voice, oh professor, your so great so handsome, you can have anytime you want' Before he could react there was a knock on the class room door.

It was the head boy, 'Professor, professor Dumbledore wants to see you'. Harry sighed ' Very well,' he turned to his class ' all of you keep practicing until the end of class, there's only ten minutes left anyways. Ginny you're the only one whose produced a full protranus yet so help the others, and I want all of you to make sure that those two, he looked pointedly at Brooke and Ginny, stay at opposite ends of the room.' Ginny and Brooke glared at each other then walked away in opposite directions.

Harry walked in to professor Dumbledore's office and groaned at the site before him.

'Your Highness' said a voice that sounded a lot like Mcgonacal

A women with long grey hair and pointed ears curtsied.

Harry bowed 'Lady Desai' he said formally. Lady Desai was one of his fathers old fart advisors except she wasn't old, for an elf.

'Your highness, in your letter to your parents you expressed a worry of an attack on Howarts, harry nodded, well I have been discussing it with the esteemed headmaster and he suspects the same. I have come on behalf of your parents and EA to offer protection. Of the castle and where ever else they would be needed' Harry nodded. 'EA' were the elfish army, since he was prince Harry had to join starting as privet like all royalty, but unlike all royalty he quickly made his way up to General(a/n I know unreaslistic but work with me) 'Do you agree Albus' Harry asked Dumbledore nodded. 'then its settled' said Lady Desai 'General Adanwala will be here tomorrow to begin plans' im sooo sorry for taking so long, hope fully the next chap wont take half as long thanks to every one who reveiwedi don't have access to the names right know. Thanks so much it has made me decide to try and actually finish this story.

Next chap lady Desai meets Ginny and Ginny finds out.
