A/N: It took some time but I'm back, still didn't finish French or Music
though. Thanks to Arizosa for telling me that Bellatrix' surname is
Lestrange (I can't look things up, my book's in Germany remember, and I
only read it once so some things have slipped my mind :'o ). I hate that
woman for killing Sirius and torturing Neville's parent. The killing curse
would be too nice for her. (insert R rated torture scene here). I know that
the first chappie was kinda depressing but you've got to remember that it's
shortly after Sirius' death so I can't have them jumping around laughing
and singing "Happy Happy Holidays", now can I.
O and they already have some of their abilities (this isn't tied to wandless magic) but they're still unaware that they're elemental mages. They just think that their innate magic is elemental bound (which is just the tip of the iceberg). These are the abilities they've got; Harry – Using memory charms Ron – Create light earthquakes (more like tremors) Audrey – Conjure wind (with just enough power to knock a couple of people out of the way) Hermione – Conjure water (not to much yet, enough to give someone a shower)

Chapter 1 Back to School
~*~ Hermione's POV ~*~
Hogwarts, we were finally going back. More books in the library, I was looking forward to reading those in the restricted section. They shouldn't be much of a problem; our training during the holiday had already set out magical knowledge beyond that of a seventh year. Classes were going to be easy.
But what I was looking forward to was learning wandless magic and how to apparate (spelling? I can't find it in GoF it's too much work to look it all through again).
~*~ Normal POV ~*~
Harry, Ron, Hermione and Audrey stood on platform 9¾ with Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and a couple of other members of the Order of the phoenix, including Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody. "Goodbye dears, and don't get into trouble this year" Mrs. Weasley said while hugging the four of them and Ginny. "Yeah, listen to Molly. An' I don't want any more heroics growled "Mad Eye" Moody. "No praw, Mad Eye, We promise we won't get into trouble or pull any more heroics" Audrey said with an innocent smile, while the other three members of her party crossed their fingers. "Good, now get on the train, before it leaves without the four of you" Mr. Weasley said with a smile. "Sure Dad" Ron said. "See you all next year" Ginny said. They all got into the train. Ginny went to sit with Luna Lovegood, they had become quite good friends. Harry and the others got their own compartment. "I can't believe that nobody noticed what were doing" Harry exclaimed once they had all sat down. "Yeah, well we did hide it well, not exaggerating and spending time with Gin and stuff" Ron said. "That's true. Talking about hiding it we have to continue hiding it and act as we have the last years. We don't want anyone to get suspicious" Harry continued. "Don't you guys feel that this is wrong sometimes?" Hermione asked. "Yeah, but we're preparing ourselves to fight Voldemort and his Deatheaters (a/n is this corny??? You know what? I don't care if it does. It's the truth)" Audrey replied. "Exactly. Besides I don't fancy telling McGonagall that we're illegal animagi" Ron said. "That makes two of us" Harry said. "She'd probably give us a speech about the danger of becoming animagi without the supervision of an experienced wizard present and then she would kick us out of Hogwarts. And that's if we're lucky" Audrey said. "Yes, but on the other hand I'm sure she'd be proud that four students in her house pulled it of" Hermione pointed out. "I have to agree with that" Ron said. "Yea, but on to more important things" Audrey said, "Now that we're back at Hogwarts we can take our training to the next level." She looked at Hermione. "Yes, but we all want to be Aurors, and that's hard NEWT's. We can't forget about our schoolwork" Hermione said. "Mist, wake up and smell the magic" (a/n Can you actually smell magic, according to some writers you can, o well on with the story) Ron said, "The stuff we did during the summer is already beyond seventh year." He looked at Harry for support. "Our innate magic is a lot stronger than we thought at first, and with all the studying and training this year should be easy" Harry said. "You're right I guess I've still got to get used to it" Hermione said, "Alright I've got some ideas for further training, mind you this is tougher than becoming animagi, it'll require a lot of studying and training." She looked at her three best friends. "I've got no problem with that if it gives us an advantage against Voldemort" Audrey shrugged. "Yeah, me too" Harry and Ron replied. "But we're going to need a room to train in" Ron said. "Well we can't use the one we used last year for DA" (a/n it was something like "the room of requirement" or somewhat but as you know I CAN'T LOOK IT UP) Harry said. "And it's going to be hard to find a completely concealed room Dumbledore doesn't know about" Ron groaned. "So? We'll simply train in the Forbidden Forrest, nobody's going to look for us there, and with all the magical creatures it's hard to notice other types of magic" Audrey said with a smirk that would have made a Slytherin envious, then again she had Slytherin blood. "The Forbidden Forrest, no offence but we don't have a good record (a/n I seem to be using that saying a lot now don't I?) with the Forbidden Forrest so please tell me you're kidding Nova" Ron groaned. Audrey smiled at him. "I am well aware of that Prowl" she said. "Nova's right, the Forbidden Forrest will cloak our magic and it's also a good place to practice apparating and wandless magic" Hermione said. "Apparating and wandless magic, now that's what I've been waiting for" Ron said. "But Mist you always way that you can't apparate on Hogwarts grounds" Harry said. "True Snitch, but since our innate magic is so strong and tied to and element..."
For the next hour they continued to make plans for their training. Then Harry suddenly asked something. "Do you thing Dumbledore will notice anything?" He looked at the others. "I mean he always seems to know everything and he is familiar with most of the creatures in the Forest" he added. "I don't think that he'll notice, he's so busy with the war and all, and we're safe at Hogwarts so there won't be anyone tailing us" Ron said. "Yeah Prowl's right" Hermione said. "Besides we can sneak around easily in our animal form and we won't even need the invisibility cloak" Audrey said. "That's a good thing too, I was starting to get crowded under there" Harry said. "No Shit, it was starting to give me a back ache since I had to bend over constantly" Ron said.
That's when Draco Malfoy and his two stupid cronies decided to show up. "Well if it isn't Potty and the gang" he sneered. Crabbe and Goyle snickered. "Sod off Malfoy" Ron said, trying to remain calm (a/n Well we all know the Weasley temper, so that won't last long). "I'm quite fine being here Weasel" Malfoy sneered. "You don't want to mess with us Malfoy, especially not now" Audrey snapped. "And why is that my dear exiled cousin" Malfoy asked mockingly. Ron had enough and summoned his innate magic. Harry, Hermione and Audrey felt it, but Malfoy and his cronies were oblivious to it. Ron summoned a tremor that threw Draco and co. out of the compartment. Audrey quickly summoned her own innate magic to create a breeze of wind that closed the compartment door. "Well that's a good start of the new school year, showing our new abilities" Hermione said. "Don't worry Mist" Harry said. He summoned his innate magic and concentrated on Malfoy and co. who were still lying dazed on the other side of the door. "So, I've altered those parts of their memories. They think they left us after insulting us and that Crabbe tripped over his own feet, thus resulting in their position on the floor" he explained. "Good thinking Snitch" Hermione said.
Then the compartment door slid open again and the four of them looked of expecting to see Malfoy and co. again, but were relieved when the saw that it was Ginny with Luna. "Hey guys, we figured that you could do with some company" Luna said cheerfully. "Sure, sit down" Harry said smiling. "So how's your vacation been" Luna asked. "It was all right" Ron said evasively. "And how was yours?" Audrey asked casually. "It's been great, my dad's magazine has been doing great" Luna replied. "That's good to hear" Hermione said. "So who do you guess is going to be our new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher" Ginny asked. "I don't know" Harry answered. "I hope they get Remus again, that was the only tear in which we actually had good lessons" Hermione said. "Yeah, we don't have much luck with DaDA teachers" Audrey said. "Firtst year, professor Quirrell, was housing Voldemort's spirit in his body, ended up in dust after trying to kill Harry. The two of you didn't know him and you can be happy about it" Ron said. "Second year, professor Gilderoy Lockheart, a pompous liar who couldn't perform a jinx if his life depended on it. The only thing he was good at was performing memory charms. He is currently a more permanent guest at St. Mungo's" Harry continued. "Fourth year, Barty Crouch posing as professor Alastor "Mad Eye" Moody. He got his soul taken by a Dementor on the orders of Fudge" Hermione added. "And finally, but certainly not least, professor Umbridge. Though she was not an accomplice of Voldemort, she was the worst ever; she openly showed her true colors. She worked for the minister of magic who didn't believe that Voldemort had returned to power until he attacked in his own "back yard". Umbridge was also the way with which the ministry tried to take over Hogwarts, not succeeding because of retaliating students including this fine company. She is now a guest in St. Mungo's insanity ward with a certain hoof click phobia" (a/n I made that up, I have no idea where that b*tch is, and frankly I couldn't care less) Audrey finished. "Hallelujah" Luna and Ginny exclaimed laughing. ~ That was quite a speech Nova ~ Harry thought to Audrey. ~ Hey you guys left me the long one ~ Audrey though back. ~ She's got a point Snitch ~ Ron thought. ~ Stuff it Prowl ~ Harry replied. ~ Guys I think it's better if we concentrate on normal conversation, or else Ginny and Luna are going to get suspicious ~ Hermione interrupted. ~ You're a real party pooper Mist ~ Audrey thought. But they did agree that it might look strange if they suddenly stopped talking but still looked like they were talking
