Chapter Six
The students sat shell shocked looking at each other.
"I guess we should get started" Emma-Leigh said. "Which one of you is Ron?" Ron looked up nervously
"I am." She looked him over and decided that he would do.
"Uhm Kassandrah didn't tell us wehere we are sleeping..." Michelle said looking around the room. At that very second Professor Bullavardez came running into the room.
"You will be staying in the same house as your partner this week... not so sure bout next week... you will be getting your class scheduals tomorrow during breakfast...Albus... Professor Dumbledore says it's time you were all in bed. Off you trot." She ran back out the door.
"Uhm Kassandrah didn't give me one million galleons." Cho said looking at the door hopefully. "Ah well worth a try." she said shrugging. "Come on Matt. I'll introduce you to the other Ravenclaws." She walked out of the room Matt trailing behind.
"Bye Matty!" Emma-Leigh and Michelle said together. The BSS students (Cept Amanda) hugged and went their seperate ways. Michelle, Emma-Leigh and Nabil followed the Golden trio to the Gryffindor Common room, they got to the Fat Lady.
"Password?" She said
"Password?"
"You need a password?"
"What?" Michelle, Emma-Leigh and Nabil said at the same time.
"Oh right... your school isn't set up in houses. We habve passwords to keep the Slytherins and other houses out. Keeps us safe." Harry said as Hermione and Ron said 'Snicklefritz' and the Fat Lady let them in. Everyone stared at the BSS students.
"They will be staying with us this week. Our theme is duets and Nabil, Michelle and Emma-Leigh are our partners." they were soon bombarded with questions.
"So what did you guys sing to get here?"
"I," Michelle said, "sang Adding to the Noise by Switchfoot."
"I sang Measure of a Man, Clay Aiken." Nabil said.
"Yah it was sooo cute. He sang it to Courteney, She was crying like a baby." Lavender heard that and slumped back into her seat and stopped primping, obviously about to put her "flirt with canadian guy" plan into action.
"Matt's single...don't give up." Emma-Leigh said looking over at Lavender. "I sang Anytime by Kelly Clarkson..."
"'Mione sang that song too, are you as good as her?" Seamus asked.
"I guess you will have to wait untill next week wont you?" she said. They continued to talk untill 11 when McGonagall came in and made two rooms one for Nabil and one for Michelle and Emma-Leigh. They talked
after that untill two in the morning before the realized they had classes in a few hours.
"We'll fingure out what to sing tomorrow k Ron?" Emma-Leigh said while getting up, her silky blonde hair brushing his hand.
"Yah, sure, whatever you say." she smiled and followed Michelle into their room. It was totally decked out in Emma-Leigh and Michelle type things. Emma-Leigh's side had Clay Aiken pictures... and other random things like a stick and a rock taped to the wall. Michelle had some other random stuff like pictures of landscape and abstract things. Both had hot pink beds, it was awesome. They both squealed, got their tooth brushes and walked into the bathroom. Nabil was already there.
"My room is through that door." he said pointing with his toothbrush. Emma-Leigh and Michelle walked through the door and couldn't help laughing. It looked exactly like his room at home, neat, tidy, everything in its proper place, and even his fish were there. Michelle went to look at the fish while Emma-Leigh plopped onto his perfectly made bed and rolled around messing it up. When Nabil walked back into his room he just looked at Emma-Leigh sitting on top of his now messy bed.
"It's not as much fun without Courteney." she said hanging her head. Nabil laughed and jumped in beside her.
"I'm tired go back to your room." Emma-Leigh had a 'hurt' look on her face.
"Fine... sigh I know sigh when I'm not sigh loved sigh" Nabil laughed again.
"You know I heart you" he said, she smiled.
"Better not let Cstar hear you say that Night Nab" She turned out the light and bumped into Michelle who was in the bathroom brushing her teeth.
"mehpfje hepbe fheibhpmd."
"Yes Michelle?" Emma-Leigh said very confused. Michelle spat.
"We need to sleep." Michelle said rolling her eyes. Emma-Leigh brushed her teeth and washed her face, she walked backinto the bedroom and saw Michelle already asleep and snoring slightly. Emma-Leigh grabbed her beloved hair brush and walked back into the common room. No one was left so she sat down on one of the armchairs in front of the dieing fireplace, and brushed her blonde hair. Once there was no longer a glow of red from the embers she walked back into her bedroom and fell fast asleep.

Michelle woke up with the sun shining in her eyes.
"uhg... not cool." She rolled over and saw the glaring light of her alarm clock. Exactly one minute before she actually had to get up. "Damn you sun!" she whispered angrily as she turned off her alarm before it even went off. She quietly got out of her bed and and jumped onto Emma-Leighs.
"EEEEMMMMEEEEELLLLZZZZ!" She said in a very high pitch and annoying voice.
"AH!"Emma-Leigh jumped about a foot high and punched Michelle in the face. "Oh my God! Sorry Michelle!" she said to a now on the floor Michelle who was supporting a black eye. "You deserve it though." Emma-Leigh said walking into the bathrom and shutting and locking both doors. She came out about ten minutes later fully dressed in a simple black tank top and tight jeans and makeup-ed.
"Get rid of this black eye!" Michelle said still sitting on the floor.
"I don't know how." she grabbed her book bag, want, and hair brush, "sorry!" she ran out of the room.
"Hiya Harry, Aloha Ron, Wassup Hermione?" Emma-Leigh said as she bounded towards them.
"TOO CHEERY!" Ron said looking at her with terror.
"Oh sorry.." she slumped into a chair beside him as if she had just ran out of energy. "hullo Ron, Harry, 'Mione."
"Much better." Ron said.
"Where's Michelle?" Nabil asked as he walked into the Common room and over to the chairs where they were sitting.
"I'm right here." Michelle said her black eye a beautiful purple colour.
"Yikes Mich." Nabil said pointing his want at her face.
"Episkey" her bruise dissapered.
"Damnit Nabil! You weren't suposed to fix it!"
"Emmelz, Just because you can't do it..." Michelle started.
"Of course I could've fixed it dummy, I have better grades the you do (a/n HA!) I just didnt want to!"
"OH REALLY!" Michelle yelled as she drew her wand.
"Let's go to breakfast." Hermione said trying to avoid a duel.
"Okay!" Michelle said brightly jumping out of her chair.
"TOO CHEERY!"
XxX
They got to the Great Hall Courteney came running up and gave Nabil a kiss on the cheek,
"Hey babe, I have to sit with Hannah I'll see you later... we should have a class together. Love you" she ran back to the Hufflepuff table and continued to talk to Hannah, Susan and Robyn.
"Hello to you too Courteney... how are you?... oh good me too." Emma-Leigh said as she and Michelle gave identical eye rolls. While they were eating Professor Bullavardez made her way to each table where her students were sitting.
"Aloha Kassandrah," Emma-Leigh said. Michelle waved. "How are you on this lovely day?"
"Professor Bullavardez." Bullavardez said sternly. "We are not at our school Miss Newman."
"I'm hurt Kassy... Professor Bullavardez." The Professor smiled a kind smile.
"Here are your time tables." She had Potions, DADA and Herbology with Harry, Hermione and Ron. Arithmecy with Hermione and Divination. Michelle and Nabil ahd totally different scheduals because they were in 7th year.
"You take Divination?" Harry said in surprise.
"Yah I have a Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather who was a seer. I have seer blood in me."
"So you actually see stuff in tea leaves and Crystal balls." Ron asked who had never seen anyghing in anything. Ever sceptical Hermione looked at Emma-Leigh in surprise. She didn't believe anything about Divination seeing as she walked out of the class in their third year, was more curious now that they had learned that prophecies were real.
"Yah, but I can't see anything about myself, and I can't see the result of this competition, or anything about it really. I seem to have mentally blocked it off." she shrugged and ate her bacon.
"Sweet" Harry and ron went to eating their breakfasts. Hermione finished her tea and handed the cup to Emma-Leigh.
"Read it" Emma-Leigh looked at her incredulously.
"Alright, I'll read a bit about the past that way you can confirm it okay?"
"Alright."
"Okay then. Give me your hand." she looked up at Hermione.
"Why?" she asked taken aback.
"It helps me." Hermione shrugged and gave her hand to Emma-Leigh.
"Uh okay..." Emma-Leigh let go and looked into her cup, turning it in all directions," You once got 112 on a charms exam. If you looked into a... mirror? you would se Ron... I don't know what that means." Ron and Hermione blushed heavily, they both knew that meant the Mirror Of Erised, and that Ron was Hermione's heart desire. "When you were seven you ate so much cand one halloween you got sick and your parents said you couldn't have any next year... and they rememberd and didn't let you keep the candy... HA you dressed up as a witch AHAHAH how ironic...you were terrified when you learned you were a witch but excited once you saw how big the text books were ...you realized you loved Ron in second year..."
"WHAT!" Ron shouted. "I could have been with you sine second year?" he whispered hoping no one could hear him.
"I uh... well.." cue the aww
"Awwww"
"I told you you should've asked her out." Harry said eating his scrabled eggs.
"You knew he liked me and you didn't say anything?" Hermione said.
"'Mione... the only person that didn't know Ron liked you was you... and Ron you were the only person who didn't know Hermione liked you." Harry replied, the Gryffindors around him nodded.
"Well, I'm goiong to stop readng this cup now." Emma-Leigh said placing it back on the table. Ron and Hermione were staring lovingly into each others eyes. "Look what I started." She hung her head, Harry smirked.
"Shall we go to transfiguration?" Harry asked, Emma-Leigh nodded and stood up, gave Michelle a hug and walked to Transfiguration with Harry.
Ron and Hermione joined them just as the bell was ringing, they had obviously found a small closet some where.
"Good morning class. Welcome Robyn Matt and Emma-Leigh, I am Professor McGonagall. In this class you will be learning very advanced magic. I don't know how you are tested at your school but I hope you are up to par. We are working on human transfiguration, have you done this yet?" She looked at Matt Robyn and Emma-Leigh.
"We only had two lessons so far Professor." Emma-Leigh said seeing as Robyn and Matt were not responding
"Hmm.. okay, well We've been working on it for about a week so Class start where we left off. Newman, Lawley, Bosse please follow me into my office." Once in her office, with a ginger newt in hand, McGonagall started again. "Blah blah Blah." she wanted them to change their own hair colour. Matty went first but couldn't do it. Robyn, who was next, got it after a few tries, and turned her normally brown hair a Weasley red. Emma-Leigh turned her blonde hair all the colours of the rainbow. McGonagall looked surprised.
"You were only taught for two classes?" she asked.
"I've been able to do this since I was two. It's how we knew I had powers." Emma-Leigh's hair turned each colour, short, curly, long, everything hair could be in quick sucession.
"Okay go show off out there." Robyn and Emma-Leigh left as McGonagall said, "Okay Matt, You are flicking wrong..." Robyn and Emma-Leigh walked over to where Harry, Hermione, Ron, Susan, Hannahm, and Ernie were sitting. Hermione, Hannah, and Susan all had different colour hair, the boys on the other hand... weren't. Ron's Hair looked a little lighter. Harry's looked messier and Ernie had no hair at all. Emma-Leigh set to work trying to figure out how Ernie lost his hair. She was able to fix it and show him how to do it properly. Hermione fixed whatever Ron had done wrong, but Robyn had given up on Harry all together. His hair was messier then ever and he had managed to get his wand stuck in it's mass.
"Oh my God!" Emma-Leigh said as she ooked over at Harry. She walked over and Ran her fingers through his messy hair and it instantly went back to its normal messyness and had his wand in her hand. "What ever you were doing really wasn't working." She said twirling his wand between her fingers. She waved her hand and his hair turned livid pink.
"HOW DID YOU DO THAT!" he shouted.
"Mr Potter! There will be no need for yelling." Professor McGonagall said as she walked out of her office witha blue headed Matt. He walked over with a huge grin on his face,
"I did it!" he said still grinning.
"YAY MATTY! You were right... you are a genius." she waved her hand and his hair turned back to the original soft dark brown hair. "Do it again" He flicked his wand and it turned green.
"Awesme Matty!" She hugged him. "Now you," she rounded on Harry." If Mattias here, Matt."she said witha sigh, "I have several names for him, Anyways, if he can do it so can you." Matt looked hurt.
"Aww Matt you know I'm just trying to get Harry to do this." She looked over at Harry, "now show me waht you are doing wrong..." by the end of the class Harry had lightened his hair to a VERY dark shade of grey. Emma-Leigh assured McGonagall that Harry would be able to do it by next class. She gave her a rare smile,
"Good luck, I've been trying for a week." Emma-Leigh was off to Divination while Harry and Ron had a spare and Hermione had Ancient Runes.
"See yah later, Don't try anything with out me!" she said to Harry as she skipped off down the hall with Lavender and Parvatii.
"Oooh too bad you weren't here last year, we had a hotti Centaur... Firenze. But Professor Trelawney is excellent. Parvati said as they walked past a picture of a fat night trying to get onto a grey pony.
"Oh yes, Firenze," Lavender breathed, "he and Trelawney alternate classes, we will have him next year, not quite as hot as your friend matt though eh?" Emma-Leigh burst out laughing.
"Oh... you're serious AWWWW1! you two would be SO cute. Flirt with him,... he is almost a bigger flirt then me" They made their way up to the North Tower and got to the trap door, the rope ladder decended. Emma-Leigh rose to the top and gasped. It looked like her Grandmothers house, covered in shalls, smoke, much to hot, it felt like home. She saw the bug like Professor Trelawney sitting in an over large chair.
"Professor, My name is Emma-Leigh Newman..."
"I know who you are dear. My great Great Grandmother Cassandra held your Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather in high esteem. It is an honour to have another Seer in this class. A few posess the Inner Eye but to have a true Seer..." She clapped her hands "Let's get started, Today we ware reading tea leaves again. When I was consulting the Orb it told me I needed to refresh it." Emma-Leigh Parvati and Lavender drank their tea and swapped cups. Parvati started with Emma-Leigh's. She went on and on talking about stupid things. Then Lavender did Parvati's and took a long time looking through 'Unfogging The Future'. Emma-Leigh took Lavender's cup and looked at it.
"Can I have your hand?"Lavender gave her her hand quickly remembering what happend that morning at breakfast. Emma-Leigh released it and started to talk about Lavender's week.
"Oooh There is a good sign on getting love from a Sagittarius." she finished with out once looking in 'Unfogging The Future' She looked up from the cup to not only see Lavender and Parvati staring at her with wide-eyed-open-mouth surprise, but Professor Trelawney, with her overlarge glasses aws sitting there too.
"Uhm... Yah Lawley Pop is a Sagi..." Lavender blushed.
"Emma-Leigh," Professor Trelawney said, "would you like to have lunch with me?"
"Sure" Trelawney went on to go predict somebodies death and left Emma-Leigh Lavender and Parvati to chat.
"Wow Matt's a Sag."
"Is that all you think about?" Parvati said sighing. Emma-Leigh was looking into Parvati's cup.
"Yah well you like Goyle."
"WHAT?" Parvati and Lavender shrieked and Lavender burst into histerics.
"Sorry I was kidding, You like Ron." Parvati blushed. Lavender laughed louder.
"Well thats better then Goyle. At least Ron is good looking." Lavender said.
"Yah but she doesn't really have a chance with him does she? He and Hermione are made for each other. They are going to last a long time." again cue the Awww.
"Awwww."
XxX
"Where's Emmelz?" Michelle asked as she plopped down next to Harry at lunch.
"I don't know she's still not back from Divination." he replied looking around. Parvati and Lavender were sitting down the table looking sulky.
"Oi Parvati," Ron shouted "where's Emmelz?" Parvati blushed.
"She's having lunch with Trelawney. Emma-Leigh showed a lot of "Potential" today in class." she sniffed.
"She could read my cup without the book" Lavender said looking over at Matt at the Ravenclaw table making Luna laugh.
"Damn! I wanted some help with Charms."
"'Mione could help." Ron said "She's top of our year." Hermione blushed.
"Really? Awesome, I need help with cheering charms." Hermione's face fell.
"Oh well... Thats the only class I have ever missed." she blushed.
"Sall good. Emmelz is super at them. Hey when she's helpiong me she ould probably help you." Hermione nodded as she took a huge bite of a ham sandwitch.
"HEY! I still need help for transfiguration... I get her first!" Harry said.
XxX
Ron, Hermione and Harry were sitting in the front of Professor Moody's Defence Against the Dark Arts class waiting for Emma-Leigh. The bell had rung and she still hadn't shown up. Moody was starting his lecture and the door burst open and Emma-Leigh hurried in followed by McGonagall.
"I am so sorry Professor. I was up in the North Tower and I got so totally confused, lost and twisted up I'm Sorry Sir!" she sat down and took out her books. McGonagall left the classroom after having a quick word with Moody.
"She brought me here. I feel so dumb." Emma-Leigh whispered sheepisly. Turned out to be a rather boring class. They took notes all day. But it gave them a chance to talk about her lunch with Trelawney.
"It was random. She got me to read random peoples cups, and tell her whose life I was reading. Then she got out a crystal ball. I told her I usually only use my own. I would have summoned it but they are delicate. Anywas." She said finally taking a breath. "It was cool though. I got to know a lot about her and her Great Great Great Grandmother... and other people in my class."
"Shes a fraud isn't she?" Hermione blurted out. Emma-Leigh looked at her in confusion.
"No, She deffinetly has Seer in her. She predicted a bit about my past which was correct, but for the most part... like during classes she's just blowing off steam. Since the um-bridge thing she's been a bit over the top but it will get better." The trio exchanged glances.
"How do you know about Umbridge?"
"Oh I don't know anything about um-bridge whatever... It was in the cup. But I think she will get better soon." The rest of the class they didn't say a word because Moody had his magical eye on them after he told them to shut up seven times.
