A/N: I've been having inspiration explosions, it's been crazy. Songs, drawings, chaps I think my muses are all working at the same time.

I forgot to give you a description for Audrey.

She's 5,5 ft. (about 1,65 meter). She has long waving brown/red hair to her hip and light-brown/gold eyes with dark brown circles around the iris.

And in this chap our golden quartet gets some new abilities that are not listed in the profiles. This is because I didn't want you to know all of their abilities just yet ^-~.

Disclaimer: I own zilch. I just own Audrey and her mother and the new prefect David Maritinson :P that's it. Oh and I also own the plot.

Chapter 7 When abilities Pop Up

~*~ Normal POV ~*~

On a beautiful morning Audrey finds herself awake at 6.20, she turns around and looks down 'Down!? But I'm on a bed'.

She rubs her eyes and looks again.And finds herself...Floating 3 feet above her bed!

"What the Fu...Whoa!" she starts and immediately after a giving a little "Eeep!" plummeted down.

"Ouch." Audrey groaned.

Hermione and the other girls woke up.

"Audrey, what happened?" Hermione asked.

"Just a bad dream Moine, that's all." Audrey replied.

But mentally she said to Hermione, ~ Mist, we need to talk, with the guys too. ~ as she had just realized something.

~ Got ya, I'll check if they're up. ~ Hermione replied.

~ Tough chance that Prowl's up at 6.30 in the morning ~ Audrey though.

~ You're right but Snitch is. When do you want to talk? ~ Hermione asked.

Then Harry joined the conversation.

~ Anything wrong Nova? ~ he asked a little worried.

'Ouuu he cares!' Audrey thought happily, heart thumping a little faster.

~ Nothing wrong, we just need to talk and outside the school. ~ Audrey replied, desperately hoping her excitement at his small thoughtless care didn't show through in her thoughts.

~ Sure. When and where? ~ Harry immediately asked with a frown, though the girls couldn't see it.

~ That's what I just asked! ~ Hermione interrupted exasperated.

~ How about after classes at our clearing? ~ Audrey suggested, finally calming down a little.

~ Sure. ~ Harry replied.

~ You have to tell Prowl when he wakes up. ~ Hermione added.

~ Yeah, see you two at breakfast. ~ Harry said.

~ Till then. ~ Audrey and Hermione said.

~ What's this all about Nova? ~ Hermione asked.

~ I'll tell you this afternoon Mist. I don't think it's a good idea to talk about it now, while were inside the school. ~ Audrey replied.

~ Why outside the school? Don't you trust Dumbledore? ~ Hermione commented while looking seriously at Audrey.

~ It's not that I don't trust him, but you've noticed how he's spying on us all the time and.well.you heard him on our first day. He may have said that we're old enough to know the truth but he still sees us as little children who need to be protected. I know were pretty young but we've seen worse things than most people have at sixteen. ~ Audrey replied.

~ That's true.I see your point, we'll talk this afternoon, but I want a good explanation! ~ Hermione roughly replied.

~ It'll be a good explanation. I promise that. But we'd better get up and get dressed. ~ Audrey said, looking at the clock.

Audrey pulled back the hangings of her bed and got up. Hermione was already up getting dressed.

When they were both ready they went downstairs to the common-room, where they met up with Ron and Harry. Ron was looking groggily at the two of them.

"What's this about a meeting?" he asked with a sleepy look.

"I'll tell you this afternoon." Audrey said expressively.

"Sure wha *yawn* ever." Ron replied.

The four of them headed down to breakfast.

~*~

The last two hours of the day were dedicated to Defense against the Dark Arts.

"I wonder what Remus has thought up for today." Audrey said absentmindedly.

"No idea, but I'm sure that it'll be good." Harry replied confidently.

The others nodded their agreement. They arrived at the classroom and went inside. Some students were already there; luckily they had DADA with the Ravenclaws. Remus was also already there. The quartet walked to him.

"Hey Moony!" Audrey said smiling, while she hopped up and sat on his desk.

"Hey Remus!" the other three added, Harry sitting next to Audrey on the desk.

His hand was right next to hers. Audrey threw a hopeful look at it and hoped he would take her hand.

'I wish he would take my hand' Harry heard in his head, but it didn't sound as a mental message.

He shook his head.

'Just a figment of my imagination.' he though.

'But I sure wouldn't mind holding her hand, wait a minute.HOLD Audrey's HAND' Harry shouted in his thoughts.

His mind was racing, but then he threw a look at Audrey and tried to actually "look" at her, and nearly died of fright when his yaw nearly collided with the floor.

'She is beautiful, OH.MY.GOD.I'm falling for one of my best friends. MERLIN'S BEARD!!!' Harry though.

He shook his head again and decided to listen to Remus, trying to press his feelings and thoughts for Audrey to the back of his head for later reminiscing.

"Hello you four, you know you're supposed to call me Professor." Remus replied, trying to act McGonagallish.

"Okay.Well Professor Moony, what is the dish of the day?" Harry asked.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out as soon as the rest of the students arrive." Remus said, grinning at Harry and the others.

"Sure.just keep us in suspense!" Ron said, mock-glaring at the werewolf.

Finally the last of the students walked in.

"It's time to begin our class. Go sit in your chairs you four." Remus said to the quartet.

Harry and Audrey got of his desk (Audrey looking slightly disappointed) while they and Ron and Hermione went to sit down.

"Good afternoon class." Remus greeted.

"Good afternoon professor Lupin!" the class chorused back.

But Remus was sure he heard four muffled voices say 'Good afternoon professor Moony'.

He graciously ignored them and continued with his lesson.

"With the now known fact that the dark lord Voldemort (as usual there where a whole lot of shudders in the room. then they snapped back to attention as if the goosebumps had never occurred) has indeed returned, professor Dumbledore has decided that all sixth and seventh year students are to be better trained in defensive magic." Remus began his lesson.

"We are going to practice conjuring anti-hex and anti-curse shields, pair up in groups of two and practice the use of the spell "Protecta". If cast correctly it will form a silvery transparent shield around you. One will cast the shield and the other will try to hex and curse its partner. Don't overdo your hexes and curses, that's all were going to do for now. You may commence." Remus chivalrously ended.

Harry and Audrey paired up and so did Ron and Hermione. The next hour they were casting hexes, curses and shields in turn.

But far too soon, the bell had rung.

"Well done everybody! Five points to all students who managed to cast the shield and ten if you did it in one try." Remus said and dismissed the class.

The four friends grinned.

~ This elemental magic sure gets us a nice amount of house-points. ~ Hermione thought to the others.

~ Yeah it sure does. But we'd better get going. I've wanted to hear what Nova has to say all day. ~ Harry replied worriedly.

Hermione smiled a little smile at him that puzzled him no less than coming face to face with falling for one of his best friends.

They said their goodbye to Remus and headed for the clearing.

~*~

Once there Ron said, "Come on Nova, spill the ever bad tasting flavor bean you have!"

The four of them sat down and Audrey began her story about how she had woken up to find herself floating 3 feet above her bed.

"Then I remembered something I once read about the elemental mages: We all have several powers besides controlling the elements." she explained.

"Yeah, both you and Harry now have two powers." Hermione said thoughtfully.

'Maybe it's three for me. Maybe what I heard in DADA really was Audrey's thoughts. Does she feel like I do?' Harry wondered, glancing at Audrey a little and noticing how the few rays of sunlight filtering through the leaves of the trees around their clearing made her hair look like a flaming halo in the darkness around.

"Okay, I get that; but why did we have to come all the way out here to discuss just that?" Ron asked confused.

"Merlin's beard didn't you notice Prowl???" Audrey exclaimed surprised, making Harry break out of his stupor involving examining how her hair might look in different lights.

"Noticed what?" Ron asked.

"All those painting, ghosts and whatnot that Dumbledore is having spying on us! You said it yourself just some weeks ago!!!" Hermione exclaimed.

"I did? I don't remember saying that anymore." Ron said while grinning goofily.

Hermione, Audrey and Harry sighed exasperated together.

~*~

They trained their apparition skills and their wandless magic some more.

They were now able to apparate wherever they wanted so they were done. Their wandless magic abilities were at the level of three now (1-7 year spells). That only left them two levels more to go before having the ability to use the highest advanced magic wandless as well.

After two hours of training they headed back to the school so that they could go to eat dinner.

~*~

That night Harry was lying awake on his bed. He was thinking about Audrey, his feelings for her and, if what he heard during DaDA were really Audrey's thoughts, what he should do about it.

~*~

Meanwhile he wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep. Audrey was thinking about how she was supposed to control her levitation.

'Maybe it will work if I imagined myself floating.' she thought.

'Well I won't know unless I try it' she figured and got herself ready.

She closed her eyes and imagined herself floating while trying to remember the few moments she could recall of the feeling.

She felt herself rising into the air.

She cautiously opened one eye and then the other one. She was now floating 5 feet above her bed. She started to imagine herself going down slowly bun then, out of no where, a picture of Harry came to her.

She lost her concentration and dropped the rest of the way down.

"Ouch.this is becoming an irritating and painful habit." she murmured, her voice even more muffled as her face was buried in her pillow.

She listened intensively and was relieved to find out that none of the other girls had woken up.

'Merlin's Beard Harry, see what you do to me?!' she thought.

'Oh Goddess! Why did I have to fall in love with one of my best friends? It's not like I don't have enough on my mind as it is.' Audrey thought.

She groaned and closed her eyes again. But this time so she could sleep or. at least try to.

~*~

Harry, still awake was thinking intensively about Audrey. Her smile, her fiery temper, the glint of mischief that never faded from her eyes and the way she looked at life.

Suddenly he heard something in his head again.

'Merlin's Beard Harry, see what you do to me? Oh Goddess! Why did I have to fall in love with one of my best friends? It's not like I don't have enough on my mind as it is.'

Harry now recognized Audrey's aura in those thoughts, but it wasn't as strong as in a mental message.

'So I can hear people's thoughts!' he figured.

'And Audrey does feel the same way as I do! Merlin how am I going to get out of this all?!' Harry thought.

He sighed.

'I guess I'll have to see that tomorrow.' he thought.

Harry closed his eyes so he could try and get some sleep.

~*~

::In the mean time in Hermione's dreams::

Hermione looked around her; she saw that she was in a humongous room. It was completely white, the walls, floor, ceiling and pillars. But the strangest thing about the room was not that it was all white, but that it was filled with what seemed to be huge soap bubbles. Though there seemed to be flashes of pictures within them.

"Where in the name of the seven hells am I?!" Hermione exclaimed.

"I wonder if Prowl has something to do with this. " she wondered.

As soon as she thought about Ron one of the bubbles floated towards her.

'What this?' Hermione wondered.

She walked towards the bubble and as she does so it starts to expand until it was as large as a door. Hermione stepped into it and for a moment felt like she was falling.

But as soon as it began it ended.

Hermione looked around and saw that she was standing in a field with a lot of flowers. Then she saw Ron.

"Hey Prowl!" she yelled, waving and running to him.

But when she reached him he just walked on and.right through her. Hermione blinked surprised. Then she turned around to follow Ron. After they had walked for a while it hit Hermione.

'Now I get it. This is Ron's dream!' she thought, snapping her fingers.

'And those bubbles in that room where other people's dreams.' she smiled, happy that she had managed to figure it out.

'But what am I doing her? Maybe it's like Audrey said. We're receiving our other abilities. Perhaps I can alter this dream.' Hermione figured.

She closed her eyes in concentration and pictured something in her mind.

She felt a wisp of magic leaving her body and opened her eyes again.

What she saw was exactly what she had pictured in her mind. Blue flying pigs with pink wings. She glanced at Ron, and saw that he was looking at the pigs with a surprised look on his face.

'So he can see the things I alter.' Hermione though.

She walked around a little more.

'Well I think this is enough exploring for one night, I wonder how I'm going to get out of here.' Hermione continued.

As soon as she thought about leaving another bubble appeared in front of her. This one showed the room with all the bubbles.

The bubble expanded and Hermione stepped into it and had the feeling of falling again. When she opened her eyes this time, again she was in the white room.

'Man, I'm sleepy. I just wanna sleep right now.' Hermione though.

As soon as she did so the room faded and Hermione fell asleep, dreaming about Ron and pink winged blue flying pigs.

~*~

Ron woke up in the middle of the night. He had just had the weirdest dream ever, he dreamed about Pink Winged Blue flying pigs.

He rubbed his eyes.

'Where the hell did that strange dream come from?' he thought.

'Man I could do with some water right about now.'

Then the hangings of his bed got pulled slightly to the side, and through it came.a floating pitcher and glass. Not just any but the ones in the boys dormitory for when they get thirsty at night.

'What in the name of Dumbledore's Socks is that' Ron thought.

'I wonder if they could come any closer' he thought.

And the glass and pitcher did. Ron thought the items off to one direction after another.

*Left* *Right* *Up* *Down* *Forward* *Back*

And the pitcher and glass did whatever he thought.

'This is cool!' he thought while finally pouring himself a glass of water.

He let the pitcher and glass float back to their right place and tried to summon his watch, his socks and some other stuff. It all came floating to him.

'This is fun! I'll tell the others about it tomorrow.' he thought as he stifled a yawn.

He lied back down and went back to sleep
