Asia started to feel reconnected with her friends. Her classes went normal, and she and Numair had training lessons at 9o'clock each Saturday night. She and Jeff have officially been a couple, and Hermione was the first to know. A few dodgy days later, she told Ron and Harry. Harry wasn't that happy with it, but seeing as he was friends with Jeff, he let it slide. Jeff was still careful around Harry regardless. Her grades were up and to her satisfaction; she hasn't been in the hospital wing in about 3 months.

It was now the beginning of May. Quidditch season was over, but Alicia told Asia she wasn't angry with her, only wished to see her on the team next year. Asia was more than glad to comply.

It was a Saturday morning, just after she watched the sunrise and said her poem, Asia sat under the large willow tree by the lake. She was wearing a simple black tang top and some of her snug jeans. She had on a pair of black fish net, fingerless gloves, and her hair cascaded down he back and into her lap. Angel, next to her, was lazily sprawled on her back in the sun. She had popped open one crimson eye to see Harry walking towards them. He bent and scratched Angel's belly briefly before taking a seat next to Asia.

"Hey Harry." she greeted without even opening her eyes.

"Morning...Did I ever tell you that I'm proud of you?" This caused Asia to open her eyes.

"Huh?"

"I'm proud of you."

"Um, thanks. Not that I'm not thankful, because I am, but why?"

"All that time, I was watching you. Hermione and Ron must've not seen it, but I was. When I said that you are not a Potter, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I was just sort of angry that you had some issues that you couldn't come to me about. It doesn't matter if you in danger, or not. If you have a problem, I want you to know that you can come to me for it, okay?" Asia was still a little confused. These were issues from months ago. Why bring it up now?

"Harry, I'm over all that stuff-"

"Yea, but not only was it eating at me, but Numair was going to tear off my head if I didn't apologize. Did you know that he thinks I have some sort of power?"

Asia gave a small chuckle. "Numair thinks everyone has power. He went to the E.Y.A, and from what I heard from his classmates, he was a total bookworm, and it could be safely said that he lived in the library." Harry chuckled also.

"Sounds like Hermione in our first year."

"He is like Hermione! I dread the day that the two sit down and study together! I'll be spending weeks trying new techniques that don't work."
"That's what you do down by the lake?"

"Yea. No one know the full extent of Emotional eyed powers, so he's been trying to find ways where I can use my full power and not lose control. Meditation can only do so much."

Harry and Asia sat under the tree until breakfast time, talking about small things here and there, but mostly enjoying the company of each other. They walked into breakfast as normal. Harry continued to walk until he found Ron and Hermione, and Asia stopped to see Jeff.

"Morning, love." she greeted him, kissing him on the cheek.

"Morning," he kissed her cheek in return. "How are you?"

"Fine, you?"

"Same. What are you doing today?"

"Nothing really. I have meditation at noon and I have to meet Numair at nine tonight."

"Do you want to go to Hogsmeade?"

"Sure."

"Fine, see you then." Jeff nodded to her and they kissed quickly on the lips before she went to Gryffindor's table.

"Geez, did you have to kiss him so much?"

"Did you have to watch, you pervert?" Asia retorted, glaring at Harry.

"Harry," Hermione butted in, pouring herself some orange juice "they are going out."

"Thank you." Asia nodded to Hermione. "So just leave it alone." Harry scoffed and they ate breakfast.

Breakfast was over t 9:15, so they remained at the table and Asia and Harry listened to yet another verbal sparring match between Ron and Hermione. Asia rubbed her temples. It was to early in the morning for them two. Harry finally kicked Ron in the chin, effectively making him stop.

"Why don't you two just go out already?" she asked as she heard footsteps coming over to her table. A hand fell on her shoulder and she looked up to see it was Jeff. She stood as Hermione and Ron kept gapping at her. "Oh come on, it's so obvious! And besides, you're forgetting that I'm an accomplished telepath. I can read your minds, not to mention your deep feelings." she smirked as Jeff put his arm around her shoulder and they walked out the Great Hall with Angel trotting behind them.

At the Staff table, Dumbledore fought to laugh and settled on a smirk. He had just seen to scene where Ron and Hermione were arguing, to when Asia and Jeff left. Harry kept a close eye on the two as they left. Asia was back to her normal self. He and Numair had been talking last night. Numair has spent much time with Asia at night, trying to fix the damage done by 'Tom'. But Numair has found that the damage was completely emotional. Her powers only reacted on that emotion. Numair had worked hard to separate Asia's entwined and tangled emotions, all of them. But there were 3 that gave him trouble: rage-the red one, ice-the blue/white one, and pink-the magenta one. Dumbledore, although he knew he shouldn't be, was surprised when Numair mentioned love. Both of them had expected the emotion to be well guarded, but not troublesome. Love was shrunk to the bottom of the well, very scarce and very stubborn. It was under a black, transparent panther, as Numair described it. Rage and ice, however, remain dominant. The two, for some reason, cannot be separated. Dumbledore knew that the emotion 'ice' was built up hate that was left unchecked. It was an emotion that dwelled in someone's heart, and only grows and threatens to consume the person's heart. Asia had trouble separating the two, but not keeping them under control. Numair knew he was treading in dangerous waters when messing with rage and ice, but the love the man had for the girl kept him going. Dumbledore only hoped that he would come out alive.

Asia and Jeff were walking down the steep, dirt road to Hogsmeade, arms linked together and Angel trotting ahead. They didn't talk much, just enjoyed each other's company. Asia found she was doing this a lot lately, enjoying other people's company. Back at her old school, if it weren't Raven, then she would often find herself snapping at others who hung around for no reason. This was a change for her. Here, she was accepted not by what powers she has, but by her personality. She smiled, a true warm smile. Even Angel noticed the change in Asia's aura when she smiled. The Houndune looked up and gave the most she could of a smile of her own.

'Now that's something I haven't seen since you were a pup.' Asia chuckled slightly

'Hey, I've smiled before!'

'No, you've smirked before. Smile and smirk are two different things. Don't worry though, I won't tell anyone.'

'No one else can hear you here.'

'Well...that's besides the point.' Asia smirked at the comment. 'At least it lasted for a little while.' Angel sighed.

"So, do you two do this all the time?" Jeff asked. Asia almost jumped, forgetting he was even there.

"Sometimes. But not really, it makes non-telepaths feel left out." Asia gave another smirk at this and looked at him.

"Oh...wait, your calling me a non-telepath, aren't you?" Asia let out a full laugh that sounded like bells to Jeff's ears. He wished she would laugh more often. As they got to the bottom of the slop, Jeff pulled Asia's head towards him with his free hand and kissed her on the lips. Asia was taken by surprise, and gasped.

"What was that for?"

"For being you..." he told her truthfully. It was his turn to smirk now. Asia smiled and hit him playfully on the shoulder, and Jeff faked a pained face.

"Come on already," she said, very child-like. "I've been waiting ages the finally see Hogsmeade!" Asia began to bounce on the balls of her feet, looking at Jeff like a puppy waiting to play. Jeff smiled.

"Alright, just stop bouncing or you'll hurl your breakfast." he couldn't help but laugh as Asia dragged him to every store, taking at the most, 10 minuets in each store. Angel insisted that she wait outside for them for the well being of her tail. There were to many people in the shop. Of course, she had to find a shadowed place, or else she could cause a panic. It was around 1 when they stopped to take a break. They were sitting outside an Ice-cream Parlor eating lunch while Angel laid under the table licking her paws clean. She had a few feathers on her head, making Asia feel sorry for what ever she had caught. Jeff had bought himself school things, like quills and parchment, and bought Asia other things, like candy and a rose. The rose was spelled because it still had thorns. It was said to be useful when your loved one got in trouble. Asia didn't care though, it was beautiful, and Jeff didn't even know that roses were her favorite flower. She was trying to think of a way to pay him back. How could she? She knew he would refuse money, but it would eat away at her if she wasn't to give anything back. She finished her ice cream quickly (it's he favorite food) and put down a golden galleon.

"Lunch is my treat. I'll be right back, okay? Take your time" she disapperated with a swirl of wind, and Angel in a ball of fire before he could even say anything.

Asia and Angel apperated to a secluded alley, so not to scare anyone. She chose to apperate since it was fast, and she would be gone before he asked questions. She peeked out of the alley and was about 4 stores down from the outdoor parlor; Jeff's back facing her. She sighed, 'Now what to get him?'

'What's the greatest thing you can offer?'

'I'm not doing THAT with him!' Asia blushed and yelled in Angel's head, making her wince.

'No! Ofcorse your not, because I would have to kill you both if you did,' she added a glare to prove her point ' not to mention the sisters would be after my fur...but I mean...he gave you a Lover's Rose. There supposed to protect you in a dire situation if needed to be, only if your partner truly loves you. So be basically told you that he wants to be there, even when he physically can't.'

'You know, for a Houndune, you make a lot of sense in love, how?'

'It's simple. In a society of Houndunes, the greatest thing that can be offered to a new mate is pups, comfort, and protection. And he's giving you comfort in protection.'

'I think he's the one who needs protection...bad things happen to those closet to me...' she thought as she walked into a shop she had been in earlier. It had things like ancient amulets, protective stones, some potions, necklaces, bracelets, and much more. She skimmed the walls, looking for something suitable, frowning in concentration. Near the corner of the wall, a pendent caught her eye. It was an emotional eyed pendent, but they were small. It was said that only the emotional eyed were to wear them. Asia bit her lip, it wasn't expensive, but she wasn't so sure. She decided against it. She didn't want anything to happen to him. Emotional eyed powers were neutral, meaning they could go either way: good or bad. She didn't want to put her power into it the pendent to activate it just to have it kill someone Jeff was talking to or something. An inhuman yelp made her come out of her thoughts and back to the present. Angel was sitting at her feet looking up at her with a necklace hanging off her nose. Asia picked it up and looked at it: it was a silver chain, with a silver big cat's paw hanging from it. By the claws, it was holding a crystal about the size of a marble. Asia looked at Angel and scratched her behind the ears gratefully, before calling over the store clerk. 'If I can't protect him with my EE powers, then my animagus powers will do just fine!' The tiny witch came up to Asia's shoulder, and had a frenzy of copper curls that was trying to over rule the scarf that tied them down.

"Hello miss, how can I help you?" she said pleasantly.

"Hello. Can you tell me-" Asia didn't get to finish her sentence, for the over-hyper woman had began to rant about the necklace?

"Ah, the Lions trinket! A good sell! You know, we have more than just a lion. We have tigers, monkeys, dogs, wolves, falcons, jaguars, panthers, snakes, insects, bears-"

"Wait, you said you have panthers? Show me." The lady nodded happily and waddled over to the open glass case in the middle of the floor. She picked up a necklace that almost looked the same as the one Asia already had. " Are they the same?" she asked.

"Oh no no no dearie, all big cats are different. You see, the lion is the fierce protector of the family, using tooth and nail to defend what's his. While the tiger is pure and innocent, only being seen when it wants to. The panther, however, is a fierce protector, and a caring mother. But that's all we know. She stays in the dark, and all you can see is hear piecing gaze, before she sinks back into the shadows." There was silence between to two for a minute.

"I'll take the panther."

"Your sure? The lion is much more popular. Because the panther is so rare, no one knows what it does or how it does it-"

"Yes, I'm sure. I'm very fond of panthers." The woman looked at Asia oddly. Asia faked scratching her neck to hid her emotional eye mark. Once the woman turned, she flattened her bangs over her scar, and moved some hair to frame her face. When she paid for her necklace, she kept her head down, making a shadow over her neck. She nodded to the woman briefly as she handed her bag to her and made her leave. Once out of the crowed store, Asia and Angel made their way back to the same alley. Jeff was standing outside the parlor looking around patiently. She dipped back into the alley and sat down on a dry spot. She squeezed the pendent in her right hand and summoned a panther from her mind. It was a male, one that she had never seen before. Quickly, she told him of what he was to do, and showed him a picture of Jeff. She thanked him and sealed him inside the pendent. Getting up from her position, she walked over to the parlor. Jeff smiled at her and kissed her on the cheek.

"What have you been up to?" he asked with a smirk.

"Why would you think that?" she asked, trying to be innocent.

"You have that gleam in your eye."

"I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't to anything." Jeff narrowed his eyes at her and she looked away innocently.

"Come on, I want to show you something." he took her hand and lead her down a dirt road that didn't look like it was used often. Angel came along behind them, taking in the surroundings while teasing 'How many times to I have to tell you that you are the worst liar?'

'Oh stuff it.' Asia huffed. It was true, she was a bad liar.

Jeff led them into the edges of Hogsmeade. When they started to climb a rocky hill is when Asia had to ask.

"Where are we-"

"Shh." he hushed her. Asia grumbled to herself and then they stopped. Asia was going to ask but she stopped. They were on a cliff, one that over looked valleys and many rolling hills. The horizon was a rollecoster of mountains coated in trees, and the sun was facing them. They sat under the shade of a large tree, and stayed in silence. Before slinking off, Angel said 'Don't forget to pendent, and try not to drool.'

'I don't drool!'

'I know, but it was funny to see the look on your face. Don't try anything that Prue wouldn't approve of, I'll be nearby.'

'Prue doesn't approve of anything but studying'. Asia thought.

She and Jeff sat in silence, watching the wind play with the trees and overgrown grasses.

"So, what did you run off and do?"

"Actually, I didn't run. But anyway, I wanted to repay you."

"You don't have to Asia-"

"I want to. You've done so much for me Jeff. I'm not really a material girl, but you've done so much for me mentally. You proved me wrong in so many ways, and made me realize that there's still a child under all of this, and a girl still looking for a good time. I want to repay you for it with this." She handed him the pendent she had bought. "It's called a Panther's Heart. Panthers are my animagus form, so I got this one because I can depend on it."

"Why do you have to depended on it?" he asked her, looking straight into her sky blue orbs.

"Because...um, things happen to thoughts who are held dearest to me. And I promised myself that I would never let anything happen to anyone anymore because of me. I intend to keep that promise, and so does he." she gestured to the crystal in the panther's claw. Inside it was an ice blue eye. And no matter which way Jeff turned the necklace; it was still looking straightforward towards you. "That's one of my panthers in there. He'll watch over you. Promise me you'll keep this with you at all times."

"A-Asia, your acting like I'm going to die tomorrow." Asia shook her head. It looked like an attempt to say no, but she was really trying to shake the tears that were beginning to form in her eyes. Her attempt failed.

"Just promise me, please." She looked up at him as a tear cut a path down her cheek. Jeff wiped it away.

"Okay, okay, I promise." He embraced her as she cried silently. When she was finished, he still held her, but asked her a question. "Asia, what's going on?"

"I told you, bad t-things happen to people I...hold dear."

"You mean people you love?"

"...I forgot what love feels like Jeff, a long time ago. I hurt me to love, so I suppressed it. The ones that I loved most were torn from me."

"Do you love me?"

"I care about you, a lot. More than anything."

"That's love Asia. When you care about someone, and are willing to do anything for that person." Asia closed her eyes. The pink light at the bottom of the well was slowly creeping up, slowly. She nuzzled her nose into his chest, just taking the moment to let her guard down and feel safe with someone else.

At 8:45, Asia put on a long sleeve shirt, a pair of jeans, and a light robe. She walked down to the lake to see the very tall form of Numair.

"Evening Asia." he greeted, patting the ground beside him. Even when he was sitting, he was about a head shorter than Asia when she was standing. She took a seat beside him and they meditated for about 15 minuetes. Asia kept going as instructed, and Numair put his hands on her shoulders. Just like every time, Numair went to the well. What he saw made him gasp; the pink light was up with the rest of them, filling the space that was once an empty void. He smiled; Asia was opening herself to people again. For a while, they worked on getting ice and rage separated. On the fifth try, Asia was panting.

"There must be something that connects them together, a memory maybe?"

"What if they just go hand and hand?" Asia offered

"No, being cold and hating someone is two different things. Something that you remember is keeping them stuck together like glue."

"Can't we jut leave them?"

"No. They must be separated like the rest, or you will be vulnerable to attack. Why don't you take a break for a few minuets?" Asia nodded. It had to be about 10 by now. She looked into the lake and reached her hand in the freezing depths. It soothed her, and woke her up a bit more. She looked into the lake while letting herself go. Her astral self laid on it's back in the water, letting the waves massage her astral bones. She peaked one eye over to her body to see it shaking. Curious, she went over to it, to see in the reflection of the water was snake eyes. Instead of her normal blue almonds, were red snakes. She gasped, and went back into her body.

"Tom is still in my head!" she yelled, breaking Numair out of his stream of thoughts.

"What?"

"Tom, he's still there. I just astral projected and when I saw my body, there were snake eyes. I mean it Numair, Tom was there."

"That's not possible." he said, looking at Asia and pacing "I would have sensed him."

"So would I. Maybe he's still hiding behind that door? I should go look for him-"

"No," Numair said sternly and sharply. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "The last time I sent you there, you nearly died and turned evil. There's no way I'm sending you back there alone. Go upstairs and rest. Make sure you meditate for at least 10 minuetes before you go to sleep. And stay away from that door."

"But-"

" I mean it Potter, or I'll lock you in the deepest darkest dungeon I can find until you're old enough to have children. And you know in my standards, that's never." Asia sighed and nodded. Numair only threatened her like that when he meant something was really up. She knew that the problem with not being able to sense Tom, and separating rage and ice was more than he let on. As she bade him goodnight he reminded her one more time to meditate and stay away from the door, and then gave another threat to be thrown into the deepest glacier on Earth. Asia chuckled at that one. To tired to walk, she apperated into Gryffindor Tower. As expected, she found it empty; it was 10:30. She quickly went upstairs and barley got a sleeping gown on before collapsing onto the bed, and immediately falling asleep.

He sat in a large chair in an old house. The muggle who lived here wouldn't be using it anymore, she was dead. 'Disgusting muggle' he thought. He didn't fret however, pretty soon he wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. A knock came at the door, interrupting his meditation.

"What?" he barked. He was in no mood for any games.

"We have found that the ministry will be visiting Hogwarts tomorrow night. We also have made the final touches on the experiment." a servant bowed at his feet.

"Good. Then move it into the dark forest tonight, and keep it concealed. Tomorrow is when we strike." he hissed venomously.

"Yes sire, but, if I may ask, what about the Houndune? And the Boy?"

"No, you may not ask." The next second, the servant was burning alive at the flick of his master's wand. 'Asia Potter, will have you.' the Dark Lord hissed venomously.

Asia tossed and turned in her bed. She couldn't get comfortable, and the horrid dreams of her massacring thousands of people at a time wasn't helping the matter. Twice, she woke up in a cold sweat, and 3 more times after that. Finally giving up, she put on a robe and went to the common room. She sat in front of the dying fire and tried to meditate.

She pictured herself sitting on a rock in space. She was doing well for a while when the rock began to twist. She looked at it to see she was sitting on a mass tangle of snakes. She kept herself from screaming and tried to pull out, but the snakes restrained her arms and legs. She was now breathing heavy and was trying not to panic. Before her train of thought could spin out of control, she thought one word, Tom. She gave and inhuman growl, and unleashed some of her power. Red whips appeared in her hands and cut through the snakes effortlessly. But then the overwhelming feeling swept over her again. She shook her head as she watched the snakes wither and die. In the back of her mind, she wanted more. She was bored with killing just snakes, and wanted more than that.

"No," she fought "killing is bad!"

"But you love it. You want more..."

"Tom?" She whispered as the whips disappeared. A chuckle came from nowhere.

"My dear girl, if you still think my name is Tom, then I gave you more credit then I should have. My name is Voldemort."

"I know that!" 'I just hoped it wasn't true' she added mentally. "Let me guess, you want to finish me once and for all?" she asked. She felt fear rise in her throat. So, she put a cocky edge in her voice, covering it.

"No, that is that fate that awaits your sibling. But you are the one that's going to kill him." Asia raised an eyebrow, but before she could say anything, his presence disappeared. She snapped out of her meditation and ran out the tower. Running down the halls, she barged into Numair's quarters like a bat out of hell. Hearing his door slam, Numair shot up and nearly fell out of bed. He lit a lamp with the wave of his hand and looked around sleepily.

"Asia, what are you doing? It's 2 in the morning." he asked as he yawned.

"Voldemort paid me a visit." she said, losing the cocky edge and letting the fear out. Now that she noticed it, she was shacking. Numair got out of bed and ushered her to sit down. Asia only looked at her hands as he put on a nightshirt over his pants and kneeled in front of her.

"What happened? What did he say?" he asked, after he made sure she was okay.

"He tied me up with snakes and I killed them. But then he kept telling me I wanted to kill more." she confessed, leaving out the part that she really did want to kill more. She continued, "Then he said that I would be the one to kill Harry. Numair, I can't stay here. There are to many lives at risk. If he's toying with my head, then he can get access to my emotions and powers, that's not safe!" She began to sob as Numair looked at her with sympathy in his eyes. "I don't want to stay here Numair I can't, I want to go home. Everything's so hard and different, and I'm putting everything and everyone in danger. I thought I was ready to leave, but I'm not Numair, I'm really not. I love my friends, but everything's some complicated and I want to go home, to the E.Y.A. I hate it there too, but it's not so hard there. Any second he can take control and there's no way I can stop him from doing it no matter how hard I try." A hysterical rack of tears broke off her rant; halfway through Numair had embraced her in a hug. Now, she cried helplessly on his shoulder with him rubbing small comforting circles on her back. Numair kept himself from crying. She was like a daughter to him, and to see her in hysterics was tearing him apart. Asia was a warrior. She would fight until she died, and maybe even then she wouldn't stop. But to hear her actually want to run away from a problem wasn't like her. Sure she's been scared before, but she would always push aside her fear until the end. More than likely, she would do something stupid and dangerous to get done what she had to get done. For a few minuets she cried helplessly. She then fell silent and just stayed in Numair's hug. The large mage made her feel safe. Deep inside Asia, there was a small child crying; a small child that wished she could run into her parent's arms and cry her eyes out while they protected her from all the harm in the world. It was rare that that child saw the daylight...but this time, it was unavoidable. Numair only can satisfy the child for so long, and so can the Halliwell's. Asia knew she was doomed to that sadness and wanting of release until she died.

Asia sighed. "Are you okay now?" Numair asked her. She nodded into his shoulder and he let her go. She pouted at the loss of his warmth. "Asia, there is something that I must tell you, something I've known for a long time." Asia looked at him puzzled. Numair smiled at her; she had the look of innocence on her face, of a child.

"When you first came to the E.Y.A, one of your caretakers was a seer named Tamora Sarrasri. She was a powerful seer and a very kind person. One day when I was coming to visit you, I heard a scream. By the time I got there, she was in hysterics and going crazy. She said one of the children that she was caring for would be evil. Ofcorse, being the dramatic person she was, not many believed her. But, since she was the only seer in Germany that we knew of, we read everyone's aura, and the only one that didn't turn out pure, as a child should have, is both Raven's and yours..." he paused to see her face. It was hard and calm, but she was listening. "We kept eyes on the both of you, but you showed no signs of any abnormities. So, the following year, after 3 ore outbursts about evil children, we had her retire. Nothing was wrong with you two. When you were 8, I met Dumbledore. He took you to a seer, a real one that he knew personally. When he came back, he said that you would be the 'Snakes Fang'. It puzzled the both of us for years. But I figured it out 3 years ago. A snake has no legs, or claws. When in a dangerous situation, it only has 1 weapon, its fangs. When it's eating, it only has one thing to use, it's fangs. Its fangs is the key to its survival; its tool. Obviously, the snake is the Dark Lord." Numair sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "You are the key to his destruction of the Wizarding race. The Ministry is coming here tomorrow to take into their custody." Asia looked up at this. Her eyes were deadly cool.

"Why did you tell me they were coming to reevaluate me?" she asked. She voice was as cold and solid as ice.

"I was trying to protect you. I thought that if you had a motive, you would work hard enough to make the prediction not happen. I was wrong. I wanted to give you a chance. I wanted to try before it was to late." Numair put his head down as if shamed of himself. In truth, he was.

"You should have told me." Asia said softly. "Then I would have tried harder. You always try to protect me, I thought by now you would have figured out that I always find a way around it. I've been having dreams of the ministry coming and taking me away since I got here, and even more of me drowning in snakes. I guess I knew my destiny before it even started, huh?" she said in dark amusement.

"Asia, I want you to be safe. Please tell me your going to stay at the Ministry, and do everything they say to keep you safe?" he looked at her with hopefulness and seriousness. Asia nodded. "It has been known that Raven's father, Trigon, is in league with Voldemort, so she will be with you also. She requested it." Asia smiled; she wasn't going to be alone after all.

"What about my school work? It's the first of June tomorrow. (I know my time is a little crazy. please don't try and make it logical and go with it, you'll give yourself a headache.). Or, today rather. Now is the time to start all the heavy studying for exams."

"Don't worry about them, you're excused from them to stop an evil wizard from taking over the world. And Raven's more than passing." Numair gave a sad smile. She smiled back. He went to put on some slippers and took her hand to help her up. "Come on, back to bed with you. Tomorrow, I want you to pack. No one is to know about your departure, so wait until the other girls leave to pack up. I know you get up at dawn, but still wait for them to leave. Dumbledore told me to tell you to try not to tell Harry. He's been known to do things as stupid as you do to save someone. Lets hope he doesn't try anything tomorrow."

This is only 8 pages, I know, it's short. But then agian, I typed in size 10 font. There's going to be 2 more chapters to this story. YAAAAAAAHHHHH! Now press the 'Go' button and review!
