A Love Worth Fighting For
Chapter 12
The Scimitars
Disclaimer: I own all except Harry Potter. But you see, I have power over them all in this story, so it doesn't sadden me too much... yes it does -runs to a corner and cries-
Star in a Daze: okay, I'm starting to get bored of doing disclaimers. Soon I'm going to follow the footsteps of an author that I may never have met, and I story I may not have read. But I'll make the characters in may story do the disclaimer... oh and by the way I have read the story, I just never met the author winks. Also, I have been reminded that I haven't put in any more training sessions. Honestly, I didn't feel like writing about the horror that Harry, Hermione and Katrina had to go through, I mean going to night classes and day classes... how horrible. But when they actually take the potion I will write about the lesson, I promise you. It might interfere with some of my other master plans though so I don't think I'll be very descriptive when I write bout it okay. I'm sorry if that bothers anyone... if it does... then... I dunno... I just know that I can't write a whole chappie about an Auror lesson. I'm truly sorry. But please still R&R! I'll love you forever!
Harry and Hermione walked down to breakfast the next morning with Ginny. They promised that they would go with her and Draco to tell her parents. They decided that they would do it the next weekend.
The day went along pretty fast. In the morning Harry played chess with Ron while Hermione watched and in the afternoon Harry and Hermione had a little private snog session in their room, until 2:45.
At 2:45 Harry and Hermione left to go meet Lupin in his office. As they got there they saw Lupin go into the office, slightly flustered.
"So, Moony, what were you doing. You look all red in the face. Did you gat a visit from Tonks?"
"Very funny Harry, actually I called you two in here to talk about what we discussed at Hagrid's hut".
"About Amanda?"
"Yes. I have written her a letter. I told her that you know about her and that you want to meet her. I didn't tell her about Sirius though. When she wrote back, she said that she wanted to meet you too. That she was sorry that she left. She said that she would come and visit you in October, probably on Halloween".
"But, why didn't you tell her about Sirius. She'll probably want to go see him. Did you want me to break the news to her? I can't go up to her and say... oh hi, I'm Harry, and I know you have never met me before now but I just wanted you to know that your fiancé is dead. He was murdered at the end of June. Have a nice day. You know I can't do that".
"I don't want you too. I'm going to tell her when she gets here, but now on to a different matter".
"Okay".
"Well, since you two are teachers this year. You need to help plan the student activities. Now, on Halloween we are planning a dance for the fourth years and above. We need ideas". Hermione smiled. This is where she shined.
"Well, first of all we need music". She started. "Music that the students will like, not music that all of the teachers like. You should probably book the Weird Sisters again. Then we need food. Everyone knows that you can't have a dance without food". Lupin was looking at Hermione with huge eyes.
"Okay, okay Hermione slow down. There is going to be a staff meeting about it tomorrow after classes. I just wanted to give you a heads up so you could start thinking about it".
"Oh, okay. Well, I guess I could..." Lupin laughed.
"It's okay Hermione, calm down. Well, I know you probably have... other plans".
"Shut up Moony". Harry said. Lupin smiled and shook his head.
The next day Harry started to think about a project that he was going to do with the sixth years. He had talked to Dumbledore about it the previous night. He was so distracted that he almost missed the staff meeting that afternoon.
"Now, I have called this staff meeting to talk about the Halloween dance that we will be having this year". Dumbledore said. "I was hoping that you all have ideas".
"Well, maybe we should get some country music in here. Everybody likes country". McGonagall said.
"Yes, and spinach bars. Who doesn't like those," added in Madam Pomfrey. Harry and Hermione looked at each other with disgust.
"Yes, and while we're at it, let's go shoot the students with a laser. We all know how much fun that'll be". Added in Harry, sarcastically. Everybody looked at him. "Really, I thought that the Yule Ball was okay, but I guess that you guys didn't plan it. Seriously, the students will hate it if you do all that. For food they'll want crisps, soda, butter beer, pizza and other candy. They will hate anything healthy. For music, get the Weird Sisters, or if you don't want live music, get a list of songs that the students want to hear, or get a student DJ, and for gods sake. NO COUNTRY". Everybody stared at him.
"Okay, and how do YOU know that's what the students want?" Snape said scathingly.
"Because, I am a student, I am their age". Harry said. Dumbledore looked at him and smiled.
"Very good. Now, do you know how long this dance should be?" Hermione looked at Harry and smiled.
"Well", she said. "I think that the dance should be from seven until midnight. It's long enough for everyone to have fun, and it isn't too late at night for the fourth years and above. They're up that late almost every night anyway".
The meeting went on like that for a while. Many teachers made suggestions and Harry and Hermione fixed the suggestions with things that the school would like.
That night Harry and Hermione talked to Ginny and Draco about their meeting with her parents that weekend.
"I think we should go on Friday". Ginny said. "Then I could get it done and then I wont have to deal with them, or worry about telling them for the rest of the weekend". Harry nodded.
"Yeah, that will be okay. I have a class field trip on Saturday anyway". Draco looked at Harry.
"No you don't. You're in all the same classes as me".
"Yes I do, and so do you. You will find out about it on Wednesday".
"Oh, okay". The four of them talked about the meeting until about 6:30. Then Harry and Hermione quickly ate dinner and went to Auror training with Katrina.
On Wednesday Harry went to his DA class worried. He didn't know how his class would respond to his project. He was sure that some people would like it, but others might be upset or worried.
Harry walked into his class right as the bell rang. Everyone was there, including Hermione who he told to meet him there. Harry smiled at the class and took the roll call.
"Hello class. Today we are going to be doing something a little different". The class looked at each other, surprised. "This is the only class that will be doing this, so I want you to pay close attention". The class looked nervous. What was he thinking of? Harry looked around at the class. "This weekend, on Saturday, we will be going into Hogsmeade. The trip is to get supplies for a class project that you, well we, will be doing. I will be doing the same as you. I know you all are worried about what I am about to say, and after I do a lot of you will still be worried, but I will make sure that everything goes alright". Just then the class started to get really worried. Draco looked at Harry with wide eyes.
"Okay, now as you all know, this class is supposed to be like the DADA. Except this class is more focused on the attacks to fight Voldemort. Well, magic can't get you everywhere in life. You will need to learn how to defend yourself where magic is no use to you. That is why this class will learn how to fight with weapons, real weapons". The class was stunned. They had never thought that a teacher would tell them that they would learn how to use dangerous weapons. Slowly a low buzz went along the classroom as people began to whisper to the person next to them.
"Quiet please". Harry said, and the room went silent instantaneously. "This will take a lot of time and effort. You will need to work on this everyday. I know this sounds like a lot of work, but in the end you will be pleased with the result. You will each receive a weapon on Saturday. It will suit your character perfectly. Someone might have the same weapon as you. This will be a test of strength. You will battle each other and the victor will receive a high grade, at least an E. I already have my weapon. I am sure that a few of you will get the same one. Mine is a sword. Also you would battle a sword if you had a rapier, double ended blade or scimitars. A rapier, as some of you might know, is a long, thin sword. It may seem weak at sight but it is one of the fastest weapons. And scimitars, well, they are weapons that are like swords, but they are curved. They are the same size and weight as swords and they work the same way, except one normally used two scimitars in battle. A double-ended blade is a sword with a blade at both sides. It is harder to learn to use but it is most deadly in battle to those who don't know how to parry an attack. I will learn to use all of these weapons. I assure you that if no one has the same weapon as you, I will". Ron was looking at Harry as if he had lost his mind. He raised his hand.
"Umm, Harry... I mean Professor Potter, wont we get hurt if we battle each other?"
"Not if you know how to use your weapon. I assure you that if you do, no harm will come to you if you use it correctly". Ron nodded, worried about what would happen to him if he failed to learn how to use his weapon.
"And I also assure you that there will be charms that will prevent you from getting seriously hurt. But you might have a few bruises from this class. Furthermore, I want you all to remember that it doesn't matter how good you are, there will always be someone better. I know it doesn't seem encouraging, but if you work hard at it you will be able to defeat everything that comes at you".
The rest of the class was spent discussing the project.
After class Draco stayed behind for a few moments, before the seventh years came in, to tell Harry that they had to meet Ginny in the entrance hall on Friday at five o'clock.
That Friday came all too quickly for Ginny. He had told Dumbledore and Mad Eye the previous night that he and Hermione would be unable to make it for the training session that night.
At five o'clock on the dot Harry and Hermione walked into the entrance hall to find Ginny and Draco already waiting for them.
"The port key leaves in five minutes". Ginny said, holding up an old book. Harry and Hermione nodded. They all held on to the book and waited for the port key to activate.
When Harry felt the expected jerk behind the navel he looked over at Draco and smiled nervously. When they had landed Harry looked around. They were at the front of the Burrow.
"Okay, Harry, Hermione. I want you to come with me. Draco, stay right in front of the door. I will come for you in a minute". All three of them nodded and did what they were told.
Harry and Hermione followed Ginny into the house. They walked into the living room and found Arthur and Molly waiting for them.
"Harry, Hermione, Ginny, there you are. I thought you were bringing your new boyfriend for us to meet Ginny". Molly said kindly.
"I did, he's waiting outside. I just wanted to tell you that I love him very much and that I want you to give him a chance, regardless of who it is. Do you promise?" Molly and Arthur looked at each other, surprised and Arthur nodded.
"Okay". He said, but Molly said nothing. Ginny turned around and opened the door, beckoning Draco to come in. Molly gasped.
"NO!" She yelled. "I WILL NOT HAVE MY ONLY DAUGHTER DATING A MALFOY! I PROHIBIT IT!" Ginny looked at her mother with disgust.
"MOTHER, JUST, PLEASE BE QUIET! THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH DRACO, I LOVE HIM AND HE LOVES ME!"
"YOU'RE ONLY FIFTEEN! YOU DON'T KNOW THE FIRST THING ABOUT LOVE!"
"I KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT LOVE TO KNOW THAT IF YOU LOVED ME YOU WOULD ACCEPT THE FACT THAT WE ARE IN LOVE AND THAT WE WILL BE EVEN IF YOU DON'T AGREE WITH IT!" Hermione looked at the two of them and then at Draco. He had told her what he was going to do to prove how much he loved her. He walked over to Ginny and took her hand.
"Mr. and Mrs. Weasley," he began. "I do love Ginny; I love her with my whole heart. I always have, ever since the first day I saw her. I know that my father has been mean to your family, but I am nothing like that. And to show you how much I love Virginia", Draco got down on one knee and turned to Ginny. "I love you so much Ginny, and I can promise that I always will. I know we are young, but", Draco pulled a diamond ring from his pocket. "Will you marry me?" Ginny burst into tears and nodded as Draco slid it onto her finger. Molly stood up and cried.
"I HAVE NO DAUGHTER". Then she ran up to her room. Ginny looked at her father, and he nodded in approval.
"If you love each other then I have no objection, nor do I have the position to object". Ginny smiled.
"I love you Daddy". She said smiling.
"Thank you Mr. Weasley". Draco said. Arthur smiled.
"Please, call me Arthur".
"Okay Arthur". He said smiling. Arthur smiled at him and then went upstairs to talk to his wife.
Hermione ran over to Ginny and the two of them were crying, Ginny, because she was just proposed to and Hermione because she just witnessed it. Harry turned to Draco.
"Well done mate".
"Thanks Harry. I know this is kind of early, but do you want to be the best man?" Harry grinned.
"Of course," he said. Then he went over to Ginny and gave her a hug. Then he shouted over to Draco. "I know that Ron won t say this, so I feel that it is my duty to tell you, that if you hurt her emotionally, I'll hurt you physically".
"Okay Potter, if you say so, just keep Ron away from me during classes. I'm afraid for my life". Harry laughed.
"As you should be". The four of them laughed. Just then Molly walked down the stairs.
"Ginny". She said calmly. Ginny looked at her mother and Molly nodded. A grin spread across his face.
"Oh mommy!" She said. "Thank you". Draco smiled.
"You can call my mom if you want too Draco, or Molly, whichever you rather".
"Thanks mom". Draco said with a grin. All of them started to laugh again.
That night when they returned to Hogwarts Harry and Draco took a walk to the Quidditch field.
"So, Harry, when are you going to propose to Hermione?" Draco asked with a grin. Harry looked at him.
"I think I'll follow tradition. We got together on the same day as my parents and I'm going to propose on the same day that my dad proposed to my mom". Draco nodded.
"That's nice, when is it?"
"Christmas".
The rest of the night was spent talking about how Harry was going to propose.
"The next morning, Saturday Harry woke up to the sound of someone knocking at his door. He got out of bed and walked to the door. He pulled it open to find Draco standing there, half dressed and out of breath.
"What in the world?"
"Ron- going to kill me- help- please". Harry looked at Draco and laughed, and then laughed at himself, they must have been a sight, Draco standing at the door in front of Harry (who was in his boxers) in a pair of pants.
Hermione appeared behind Harry and started to laugh, but then stopped instantaneously when she saw Ron coming towards the door. Harry grabbed Draco and pulled him in and shut the door, just in time too, as soon as the door closed they heard Ron slam against the door and then pound on it for a good ten minutes before he gave up.
"You are a life saver you two". Draco said breathlessly. "I was sure that I was a goner. A few more seconds and I would have been". Harry laughed.
"No problem, you wanna shirt?"
"No thanks, Ginny's bringing it by in a few minutes. I left it in her common room". Harry and Hermione looked at each other.
"Oh my lord". They said in unison.
"It's not what you think!"
"How do you know what we're thinking?" Draco glared at them.
"Shove it!" The three of them started to laugh and then they heard a knock at the door. Harry went over to open it and there was Ginny, holding a t-shirt and smiling and there on her finger the ring was shining brightly.
"Hey you guys!" She said brightly. She walked in and gave Draco a kiss. "Hey hunny".
"Hey sweetie". He replied. Ginny looked over at Harry and blushed.
"Uh, Harry, do you think you could put on some pants?" Harry laughed and nodded. He went to his room and got dressed for the day. Hermione, who was dressed in a jean skirt with a leather tie-up belt, a red spaghetti strap shirt and platform running shoes.
"Okay, Draco, get dressed and once Harry comes back we can meet the rest of the students". She said.
"Where are you guys going?" Ginny asked.
"On a field trip". Answered Hermione. "Why don't you come with us?"
"But, it's a field trip".
"But Harry's the teacher, so he won't care". Ginny smiled.
"Well, okay, at least I can get away from Ron for the day. He's probably going to kill me".
"Uh, Ron's coming too. He's in the class".
"Well, then I can protect Draco". The three of them laughed and then Harry walked out of his room, fully dressed, in a pair of baggy blue jeans and his favorite red sweater with the dragon on it.
"You coming Gin?" She nodded. "Good, well, come on. We have to eat breakfast before we go and we have to meet the students in forty-five minutes". Everyone followed Harry down into the great hall.
Draco sat at the Gryffindor table with Harry, Hermione and Ginny. The four of them were talking and laughing when Ron walked in.
"MALFOY!" He yelled. Draco looked up at him.
"Yes?"
"You- you asshole! You can't go around dating my sister".
"I'm not dating your sister".
"What, you dumped her?"
"Nope. She's my fiancée now".
"WHAT! NO, NO GINNY, I FORBID YOU TO MARRY HIM, HE'S A MALFOY!" Suddenly the whole school went quiet. Everyone knew who Draco was, and Ginny was one of the most popular girls at Hogwarts. There was whispering all around the hall.
"Draco and Ginny are going out?"
"I never thought I'd see the day when a Slytherin dated a Gryffindor".
"I thought that he was evil".
Ginny stared daggers at Ron.
"Thanks a whole FUCKING lot Ron, now the whole school knows. Maybe I wanted to keep it quiet. But now that everybody knows I guess I should show you my ring". Ginny held up her left hand and showed Ron the ring.
"Holy shit, that's the size of a house!" Ginny grinned.
"I know".
"And you two, Harry, Hermione, you're friends with him too".
"Uh huh, I never knew I wasn't supposed to be friends with people". Harry said grinning.
"Not him!"
"Ron, calm down okay. You two call a truce so we can have a peaceful field trip today". Ron and Draco looked at each other. Draco held out his hand to shake with Ron, but he turned away and left the room. Ginny shook her head and sat back down.
They were almost finished their breakfast when Lavender and Parvati ran up to Ginny.
"Oh my lord, Ginny, you're engaged! You're only fifteen!" Lavender said.
"Yeah, what are you going to do?"
"Well, I'm going to get married. I'm sorry but we must go to meet people now". Ginny looked at Harry, Hermione and Draco and the four of them left to meet everyone in the Entrance Hall.
Once everyone was there Harry walked to the front of the group.
"Hello everyone". He began, smiling at everyone. "Welcome to the first field trip! I hope you are all excited about getting your weapons. Now follow me outside and I'll show you my first one". Harry walked outside followed by all the sixth years, and Ginny. "Here". Harry pulled out a long sword with a golden hilt, encrusted with rubies. The students gasped. "This was the sword of Godric Gryffindor". Ginny looked at the sword, remembering her first year, when she first came in contact with it, when it saved her life. Harry nodded in her direction and she smiled at him. Harry sheathed the sword at his side and led the students to the not so horseless carriages.
Once in Hogsmead Harry led them to a section of town that they had never been before. It looked a lot like Knockturn ally, Draco thought. He and Ginny were standing together holding hands with Ron on the other side of the group shooting death stares at them.
"Okay everyone". Harry said as he stopped in front of a store. "This is where we stop. I just would like to say that I want every one of you to be good and not touch anything unless I say so. If you do, the punishment will be dire. I'm thinking twenty points every time".
He led them inside a dark, musty store and an old man came walking in. Harry went forward and talked to the man for a minute and the man nodded.
"Welcome to my store young'ns. I must ask you to please stay away from the equipment unless Professor Potter here tells you too". He then walked into the back room.
"Well, everyone gather round". Harry said. The class gathered into a large room and Harry told Hermione to watch the class for a moment.
A few minutes later Harry came back in the room, carrying a large box. He put it down in the middle of the room and started pulling out weapons. "Let's see, mace, sword, rapier, scimitars, daggers, arrows, chains, giant hammer, ninja stars, and double ended sword. Okay, I think I have everything. Now, I want everyone to come up here, when I tell you too, and put your hand over the weapons. There is a charm on them to go to the person that they belong to". Harry then placed his hand over the weapons and all of them came flying towards him. "As you can see, I have skills with all weapons. You will always have someone to battle against. Now, could Hannah Abbot come up?" Hannah slowly walked up to the weapons and a bow and a quiver of arrows went into her hand. She nodded and went back to her place. "Justin Flich-Fenchy" He placed a hand over the pile and a rapier came up to him.
The list went down like that. When Harry called "Hermione Granger", she came up and placed her hand over the pile and the only double ended sword came up. She smiled at Harry and then went back to her place. About a half an hour later Harry got to the "M"s. "Draco Malfoy". Draco went up and the strangest thing happened. All of the weapons went into Draco's hand, like Harry. Everyone looked at him. Harry smiled. "Well, I guess you will be training extra hard this year". Draco nodded. "Please put everything back down Draco, you will get your weapons later on". Again Draco nodded. He placed the weapons down and went back to his place beside Ginny. Finally, when Harry got to the "W"s Harry called Ron up. Ron went up and placed his hand over the pile. The giant hammer came flying up and hit Ron in between the eyes.
"GOD DAMN MOTHER FUCKING SON OF A BITCH!" He shouted, and then looked over at Harry. "Sorry Professor Potter". Harry looked at Ron and then started to laugh. Ron picked up the hammer and then walked back to his place.
After everyone had gotten their weapon Harry walked into the middle of the room.
"Now, I have an announcement to make. Since every sixth year is here, I thought I should tell you this now. On Monday we will be having a new student come into our number, if they so desire. A student who has gotten all O's since she came here. Professor Dumbledore asked me to ask her if she would like to be advanced into the sixth year. I would like to present this invitation to Virginia Weasley". Everyone looked at Ginny and then began to clap. She was now a sixth year, if she accepted. Ginny blushed and looked at Harry.
"Of course I accept". She said happily. Again the crowd cheered and Draco leaned over to her and kissed her.
"Congratulations". He whispered into her ear.
"Now," Harry said once the cheering died down. "I would like Ginny to come forward and choose a weapon, since she will now be in the class". Ginny walked forward and placed her hand over the remaining weapons. No one had gotten the scimitars yet, except for Draco and Harry. They were rumored to be an elvish weapon. Only people who had elvish powers, or were elementals could wield the power of the scimitars. But when Ginny placed her hand over the pile, the two sheathed scimitars went into her hand. Harry looked at Ginny and smiled. "Now, it is almost lunch time. I will release you into Hogsmeade for the afternoon. But, if I hear that any of you have used the weapons, you will be out of Hogwarts before you can make an excuse. Now, after you have all left. I would like to see Draco and Ginny. The rest of you may go". Everyone ran out of the building except for Harry, Draco, Ginny and of course Hermione.
Harry looked at them. "Okay, I have been told a story about the scimitars. They were elvish weapons. Yes there are such things as real elves, other than house elves. They are very powerful weapons. No one can even touch a scimitar if they don't have the right power in them. Albus told me to take everyone who got a scimitar into his office tonight. He wants to tell us the history of the scimitars. So, I need you two to meet me after dinner so we can go see him. I'll ask him if Hermione can come too". The three of them nodded. "Now, Draco, you and I got ALL the weapons. So, we need to go and get them. Come, you two also". Harry, Ginny, Hermione and Draco went into another room and collected the weapons. The weapons all came with holders so Harry and Draco strapped them on.
The bow and arrows strapped across their backs, along with the hammer. The sword and the scimitars were sheathed at their sides. A leather pouch strapped at the bottom of their backs held the stars. The mace hooked to their belts and the double ended sword lay across their backs, behind the quiver of arrows, the chains hung at their sides like a whip and the daggers came with boots that had a dagger sheath in each one. They looked at each other. It was a different look, but it suited them. The four of them paid for their weapons and walked out of the store.
That night, after dinner, Harry and Hermione met up with Draco and Ginny. They were on their way to Dumbledore's office.
"Welcome, all". Dumbledore said with a smile. "I have received word that Miss Weasley had agreed to join the sixth years. I have also heard that Miss Weasley and Mr. Malfoy are engaged. Congratulations".
"Thank you Sir". Draco and Ginny said, smiling. Dumbledore smiled at them.
"And now onto business. I see that the three of you have received scimitars". He said. "So I suppose that you three need to be tested. But first, I would like to tell you the story of the scimitars.
"Over a millennia in the past, elves roamed the earth freely, along with the dwarves. They are very powerful beings. Elves had all the powers in the world. They could talk in all languages, human and animal alike, and their skill in magic and combat were unmatched by all.
The elves were tall and most had blonde hair. But there were elves with brown, red and black hair also, but they were rare. They had very prominent pointed ears and their facial features were stunning. The elvish crafted weapons were unmatched. They were as light as a feather but the material could not be broken. The elves made many weapons but they specialized in weapons called scimitars.
The elves lived in harmony with the land and all its creatures. But one year an evil wizard came to the elvish lands. He was the most powerful being they had ever encountered. There was a massive slaughter of over a thousand elves before the elves surrendered. In the dead of night they took off, placing a curse on the wizard. It was a curse that could drive even the most sensible man insane with terror and pain. The wizard that the curse was placed on was named Salazar Slytherin.
Now, Salazar was never reasonable. All he wanted was power so even the curse that was placed on him never stopped his rampage he started a war and he created the foulest creatures to fight against the other wizards. At the end of the battle Slytherin was killed. But not before his heir, the son of a maiden in a wizard community was born. The curse that was placed on Slytherin was passed on to all of his descendants. That is how Voldemort became overcome with insanity and power.
The elves have been in hiding ever since that dreadful attack on them, and only show themselves to a few trusted witches and wizards. But ever since the day of the fall of Lord Voldemort they have been interested in you Harry. They are hopeful. They know that you are the only one that could defeat him. They want to train you. They want you to be able to fight him.
Now on to what the concern is to the rest of you. The scimitars that you are holding now can only be touched by the descendants of elves. Also, there is a possibility that you are elementals, which means you have the power to control one of the elements and are immortal. Also, if you are connected to a person with love the person will also be immortal. Once an elemental is killed, which is very rare, because the elementals have stronger powers than even the elves, a new one is born, on the same day".
It took a while for the words to process through their heads. Elementals? Elves? Harry was the first one to speak.
"Does this mean that we are elvish?" he asked.
"Yes and no. You do have elvish blood in you, but you aren't elvish, par say. But you Harry, I think you are a closer relative to the elves than you believe. You would be called an elf because your father was one". Harry was shocked.
"Then wouldn't I have pointed ears?"
"Harry, when you were born, and Katrina, you both had pointed ears. A spell was placed on both of you so that you could live a normal life... not exactly as normal as we had hoped though. I could take the spell off of you but then all the enemies of the elves will be trying to kill you. The same spell was placed on your father when he was born". Harry didn't know what to say. He was finding out secrets about himself that had been kept from him for sixteen years. He looked over at Hermione and she looked at him sympathetically. She knew what he was thinking. The communicator that she was wearing had started to kick in and she could hear his thoughts.
Oh, Harry, it's okay. They had a good reason.
I know, but, I guess I just want to know stuff about me before my headmaster
I understand. I love you Harry.
I love you too.
"I'm sorry I haven't told you all of this before Harry". Harry nodded.
"It's okay, just please tell me anything else about me that I don't know".
"Well, I guess it is okay to tell you now. Your Aunt Petunia was a squib. Your grandparents were a witch and wizard also".
What the fuck?
Harry, calm down. There's fire in your eyes.
That's a really dumb expression. Sorry hunny, but it is.
No, Harry, there is fire in your eyes. You know bright red flames on top of the green.
"WHAT!". Harry looked at Hermione. "Fire?"
"Yes, here". Hermione pulled out a compact mirror and showed him. She was right. There were flames burning brightly in his eyes.
"Um, Harry". Draco said. "How did you know?"
"No reason". Don't tell them, okay hun.
Okay, but they will probably find out sooner or later.
I know, but for now, let's just keep this to ourselves
Okay.
"I guess you know your element then". Dumbledore said. "Fire, the most powerful. Nothing can put it out".
Except a fire extinguisher
Shut up Hermione.
Fine
But I love you even if you won't
Fine.
Harry and Hermione burst out laughing. Draco and Ginny looked at them oddly. Harry looked at them and laughed even harder.
Hey, you can help me on tests now!
Nope, that's cheating.
But we're not talking during a test. We're just thinking alike.
"No Harry. That's wrong". Draco looked at them and said:
"Um, Hermione, Harry didn't say anything".
"I know that, but he thought it".
"Um, yeah, how do you know what he's thinking?"
"Oh, I have my ways".
"Draco". Harry said.
"Uhhuh".
"She can read minds".
"And I don't like what I'm seeing in yours right now".
"HERMIONE! No, please don't tell. I'll explain later. That's a memory".
"From how long ago?"
"Yesterday".
"Oh lord".
What's he talking about 'Mione?
I don't want to know.
On second thought, I don't think I do either
Dumbledore looked at the necklace around Hermione's neck.
"That's a very interesting necklace Hermione. Where did you get it?"
"Harry".
"I see. Mr. Malfoy, don't worry, she doesn't know what you're thinking about".
"And I don't want to know. Not after the way you reacted". Draco looked at them and blushed. Harry and Hermione laughed.
"So, anyway, I need to know what your powers are, Draco and Ginny". They nodded. "Draco I need to talk to you". Draco followed Dumbledore into his office and came back a few moments later and he looked angry.
"Virginia, how could you!" Draco looked like he was about to cry. "I never thought you would do that. It's OVER. I would never marry a slut like you". Harry and Hermione were shocked and Ginny burst into tears.
"You, don't love me anymore?"
"Not if you paid me". Ginny cried even harder and the windows burst open. A windstorm started in the room and there was furniture flying everywhere.
"Draco, you asshole". Hermione shouted over the noise. Draco looked at them and Harry realized what was going on.
Don't worry, Hermione, it's just a way to get Ginny's power going.
That's pretty mean.
Well, I think you need a really emotional thing to happen to bring out the powers.
"Ginny, wait". Draco shouted. "I was joking, please, calm down. I love you more than ever! Please, stop!" Ginny started to calm down and then walked over to Draco. "Vee, it was just a way to bring out your powers. You needed to get really emotional".
"Couldn't you have just fucked me? It would have been a lot more fun". Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Oh, sorry professor". Ginny said blushing. Draco smiled.
"Hey, maybe that's how we can get an emotional response from me! How about it Professor?"
"Not while I'm headmaster".
"Good try Draco". Ginny said smiling. Just then Harry shouted aloud.
"Harry, Harry! What's wrong". Hermione said.
"I-can-hear-him".
"Who, Voldemort?'
"YES, he said that Draco is a traitor and he's-coming. Coming for Ginny. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH". Harry grabbed his scar and fell to the ground.
"Harry? Harry, HARRY!" Hermione was crying. Draco looked at Ginny and she was scared.
"No, he'll never get her!" Hailstones started to fly around the room, breaking everything in its path. Just then Harry stood up.
"It's water, your element is water Draco". Draco looked at him like he was insane.
"Do you mean that-that you just did that to get a response!" Harry nodded. "YOU ASSHOLE! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU". Harry was laughing. "IT'S NOT FUNNY!" Just then Ginny started laughing too.
"It serves you right Draco. You almost kill me with you pretending to break up with me". Draco opened his mouth to say something but then closed it. He then started to laugh.
Harry and Draco were walking outside later that night. Harry had an idea. He pulled out his sword and turned to Draco.
"Think fast". He said and swung the sword at his head. Draco looked and pulled out his sword and blocked the attack. Harry pulled out and aimed another blow at Draco, this time at his side, but when Draco went to block it Harry moved away and took his sword to his other side. Soon Harry and Draco were in an all-out sword fight. They were at it for about half and hour. Suddenly Harry got an ides and he swung his sword right at Draco's. He caught the hilt of the sword in his blade and pulled the sword out of Draco's hand. It flipped over and Harry caught it. He placed one blade at Draco's throat and the other a few inches behind. Draco just looked at Harry frightened. "Learn to block that attack". Harry said to Draco. Then Harry, who was about five inches away from Draco's face flipped Draco's sword over, caught it by the blade and then handed it to Draco, hilt first.
Draco and Harry started walking towards the castle, in silence. Suddenly Harry pulled his scimitar out on Draco and sliced it towards him. Draco winced, he couldn't get his out fast enough and Harry stopped about a millimeter away from his face.
"Be prepared for anything". He said and Draco hit him.
"Shut up Potter". Harry laughed and the two of them walked up into their rooms.
