Also I don't own Harry Potter or its characters, and please review.
The remainder of breakfast Clarisa was bombarded with questions about her phoenix Talons, which Clarisa just said she was a family pet, and have the habit of sticking around Clarisa when they at home, and luckily for Clarisa, her housemates seem more interested in the phoenix, then asking more questions.
By the end of breakfast an owl carrying a large package landed by Clarisa, and she instantly knew it was from Sirius, whom had gone to Diagon Alley early that morning." Talons, can you take the rest to my dorm in Ravenclaw?" Clarisa asked her phoenix after getting the things she needed for the day, and the phoenix just nodded before flying off with the rest of Clarisa's supplies.
The first class for the day was Potions, which cause Clarisa to roll her eyes." Had to be potions?" Clarisa thought, as she left with her fellow dorm mates, and headed for the dungeons
In the Potions classroom, Snape was in all his glory, as he tried to torture the new student by asking advance questions about potions, but after the first ten, he was shocked to hear Clarisa answer questions a seventh year student shouldn't have known." Look like we have a want to be potions master!" Snape spat out, after Clarisa had answered over twenty questions without sounding like a book worm." Well I do have some advance potions books I liked to read now and then, and plus this subject interest me." Clarisa informed a startled potion's professor." If that so, then you will not mind doing this test!" Snape spat out, and headed out of the room, but came back a few minutes later, with an old six inch thick book." Do pages 546-612 and you will have until the end of class to finish it." Snape snapped, as he dropped a heavy book in front of Clarisa, and she quickly got her supplies ready, and started on the test, while Snape had the other students started on their potions.
The potion test was more advance then what Clarisa had been studying at Shadow Mansion, but luckily she had enough knowledge" thanks to her Ring of Learning", that she could guess many of the answers to the very complicated potions questions, and was surprised as she almost reach the last page, when Snape had called out to her." Miss. Whitewater you better put that away, since Class is almost over!" Snape unkindly informed Clarisa, and she quickly put her things away, and took both the book and her answers to Snape." I done all I can sir." Clarisa simply said, as Snape for a second was taken aback at all the work Clarisa had done." Fine, for your homework I want a four foot essay on the potion that the class was doing while you were doing this test." Snape unkindly informed Clarisa, and she nodded before going to her seat, and wrote out her homework assignment.
After Potions, Clarisa headed to Transfigurations class, and sat down at the front row." Miss. Whitewater, I need to test your knowledge on Transfiguration, so please do the written part of the test now, and I will test you on the practical as soon as you are done." Mcgonagal informed Clarisa, and handed a number of parchments that had the questions to the test." Oh well, I guess this is better then doing Snape's test." Clarisa thought, as she started on the test, while Mcgonagal put the rest of the class to work.
The written part of the test, was easy for Clarisa, since it went up to the fifth year level, but even though Clarisa knew she her knowledge of magic was already pass seventh year, she decided not to show off everything she can do in all her classes, except for Potions.
Less then half an hour later, Clarisa stepped up to Mcgonagal." I'm done with the test Professor!" Clarisa informed Mcgonagal, whom looked up to her." Good, now we shell begin the practical, so please take out your wand, and lets start with a needle." Mcgonagal informed Clarisa, and then Mcgonagal put Clarisa threw the paces of Transfiguring objects to other types of objects.
After almost half an hour later, Clarisa had finished the practical with an almost high score for each Transfiguration, and Mcgonagal was not too happy." Miss. Whitewater, earlier I was informed that your skills are much better then this, or are you calling Professor Dumbledore a liar!" Mcgonagal sternly asked, causing everyone in class to watch the scene." No ma'am, I just don't want to show off!" Clarisa quickly explained, and Mcgonagal looked Clarisa straight in eyes." Miss. Whitewater, I do need to know the extant of your magic abilities, so please show me your true Transfigurations skills, or I will be force to take points!" Mcgonagal warned, and Clarisa gulped, and nodded.
After composing herself Clarisa knelt down on the floor, to Mcgonagal's confusion, and drew a foot size white Rune with her wand, instead of conjuring up one." Miss. Whitewater, this is not Ancient Runes, what are you doing?" Mcgonagal asked, but back away as Clarisa started powering up the Rune." I'm doing what you asked Professor, I'm going to Transfigure this lint, that is in the center of the Rune." Clarisa informed Mcgonagal, and after mumbling a spell, the Rune glowed as a bright glowing object appeared and started to grow from the inside of the Rune, and once it was a foot high, the glow diminished, and everyone gasped at what appeared.
From inside the now missing Rune was a phoenix, and even though it was orange and red, it was more beautiful then Fawkes." Miss. Whitewater, this is amazing!" Mcgonagal only could say, as she stepped up, and waved her wand to magically scan the phoenix, and was very surprised at what she found." This can't be right, Transfigured animals have lifespan is only a few days, but this phoenix is a real live phoenix, so it will live for hundreds of years." Mcgonagal gasped out, not believing what Clarisa had done, but had no choice but to believe, since she saw it with her own eyes." The Rune you saw was a special Rune that enhanced magical properties, so I wouldn't have been able to create a living phoenix without it." Clarisa informed Mcgonagal, as she reached for the phoenix to pet it, but it took off and flew out of the window, causing everyone to be disappointed at losing their chance to see the phoenix up close.
As the Phoenix flew off Mcgonagal again spoke up." Alright class, that will be enough excitement for today!" Mcgonagal started, as Clarisa put her wand away." That will be a hundred points to Ravenclaw for creating a wonderful creature, and thanks for not holding back on your Transfiguring skills, and I expect that you won't hold back in the future, RIGHT!" Mcgonagal warned Clarisa, and she nodded." I promise not to disappoint you again." Clarisa apologized, and Mcgonagal sent her off to do some class work, till class was over.
After Transfigurations was lunch, and then Arithmancy, and last class for the day was DADA, which Clarisa was dreading, since her encounter with Umbridge that morning.
In DADA class, Clarisa was bored, since Umbridge was not allowing anyone to practice magic, since they all spent the entire class reading stuff that would never help in any situation, and unfortunately for Clarisa, Umbridge had notice her disinterest in the class." Whitewater, class isn't exciting enough for you!" Umbridge rudely started, as she stepped up to Clarisa." Or do you feel that you know more then I do?" Umbridge asked, as she stared not so nicely at Clarisa." No ma'am, I had already read the book, so I already know what's in it." Clarisa explained, since she didn't want to say yes to the professor, and Umbridge just turned around to walk to her desk." Then if you know everything about the book you should be able to write me a twenty foot essay about the entire book, and bring it back by the next class, or it will be detention for the remainder of the school year if I don't have a full essay by then!" Umbridge warned, as she wrote something on her desk, causing Clarisa to gulp, since even with the Ring of Learning, it won't be able to help her write that much about a useless book.
Dinner arrived too slowly for Clarisa, and she was not too happy at what had happen in DADA, but as she sat at the Ravenclaw table, she noticed a commotion entering the Great Hall, and grinned at what she saw." So that why the phoenix left the room, it was searching for a master." Clarisa thought, as an embarrass Hermione entered the Great Hall, with a beautiful red and orange phoenix on her shoulder, with many of the students asking and admiring the phoenix." Great, I better informed Hermione about her new pet." Clarisa thought, and stood up to have a word with Hermione.
As Hermione reach her table with the many admires of her phoenix, Clarisa stepped up to her." Hermione, I need to talk to you about your phoenix." Clarisa grinningly asked, and Hermione looked to her." Clarisa, do you know where she came from." Hermione asked, and Clarisa nodded." Yes I do, so lets head to the kitchens, where we can talk in private." Clarisa suggested, and Hermione quickly agreed, and both headed for the doors.
As the two friends was about to exit the Great Hall, a hand grabbed onto Clarisa's shoulders, and roughly shoved her against the doorway." Hermione, what are you doing with this Dark Witch!" Ron spat, as he held his wand to Clarisa, whom was unfortunately powerless, since she didn't want to show her Shadow Magic abilities now." Ron stop this, you are causing a scene, and leave Clarisa alone she is my friend!" Hermione worriedly said, but Ron did not listen." Friend, I show you how dark she really is!" Ron spat, but was cut off as he was thrown off Clarisa, and fell hard onto the floor.
For awhile no one knew what just happen, until they saw Clarisa's wand in her hand." Ron Weasley, you have no proof that I am Dark, so stop telling everyone I am!" Clarisa firmly said, as Ron got up." You can fool the professors..." Ron stopped, as he felt heat from the front of his robes, and to everyone surprised, his Gryffindor patch was changed into a Slytherins." What is going on here?" Ron quickly asked, as he now noticed everyone was staring at him." Mr. Weasley welcome to Slytherin, I better get you acquainted with my house!" Snape informed a not so happy ex-Gryffindor." Wait, I'm not a Slytherin, I don't belong there she does." Ron quickly said, as he pointed to Clarisa." I think not, since the Hat did warn you what will happen if you continue with that attitude, and now you pay the price." Snape smiled evilly to Ron, then took him by the collar, to drag a kicking and screaming Ron to the Dungeons.
By the time Clarisa left to Ravenclaw, Hermione even though was not too happy with what Ron had did, was happy to have the phoenix, which she had name it Fireclaw, but as Clarisa entered Ravenclaw which looked like a library with wall to wall books, she was called upon by Cho." Hey Clarisa, can you come over here for a second?" Cho called out, and Clarisa headed to where Cho and a few girls were sitting near the fireplace." Hi Cho, what can I do for you?" Clarisa asked, since they had met earlier." Clarisa, none of your fifth year classmates couldn't figure out that Rune you used to create that phoenix, so please tell us how you did it." Cho hopefully asked, as Clarisa sat with them." It's called a Rune spell, since it uses Runes to enhance magic spells, but unfortunately your magical abilities need to be above average levels to cast at least one spell." Clarisa explained, but Cho and the others were more then determine to learn it, so Clarisa spent a good portion of the night teaching them an easy light spell which will completely light up a dark room.
The second day had pass uneventfully, and Clarisa made it through with many tests, and few complements from her professors, and even though she made it through, she was bone tired, and quickly left for her dorm to sleep as soon as dinner was over.
Later that night in the staff room, Dumbledore and all the professors were talking about Clarisa, which all of her professors, but one, had informed him that Clarisa seem far ahead of her classmates, but it was Snape suggestion that got everyone thinking." I feel that Miss. Whitewater will do much better, if she was apprenticed by one or more professors, and I will volunteer to be one of them. "Snape emotionlessly said which Dumbledore gave a long thought before speaking." Professor Snape that does sound like a plan, but I will need some time to think about it before we can make it so."Dumbledore informed the potion master, then turned to Umbridge." Professor Umbridge, you have not giving your opinion on Miss. Whitewater?" Dumbledore asked, but secretly wouldn't care what she had thought." I don't see why we are wasting our time on that child whom I don't see any good potential in her, we should just throw her out, and forget that we ever met her!" Umbridge unkindly spat out, then lost interest in the meeting." Professor Snape, I will look into an apprenticeship for Miss. Whitewater, but before I do, is there any other professors would like to take on an apprentice?" Dumbledore asked as if Umbridge hadn't said anything, and Mcgonagal, Flitwick, the Runes and Arithmancy professors, quickly volunteered." Then if that is all, I will contact those that had volunteered later, once I have a word with Miss. Whitewater, and then get the paperwork ready for her apprenticeship." Dumbledore informed everyone, and called the meeting to an end.
Next morning
On the morning of third day of school, Clarisa had done all of her assignments, accept for DADA, and was dreading the class as she ate breakfast, but all her thoughts ended, as the morning post arrived, when an owl landed near a now very angry Ron sitting on the Slytherin table, and once everyone saw the letter, they all quickly covered their ears.

Once the letter stopped screaming, everyone thought it was over, until another owl flew to Clarisa, with a black letter attach to its leg." Oh no, he figure it out!" Clarisa last thought, before the letter exploded.

Once the letter was done, a very embarrass Clarisa quickly ate as much as she could, and headed out of the Great Hall, with everyone staring at her.
Up to the end of the day, Clarisa avoided everyone, since they were all asking what the letter was all about, and thanks to this, Clarisa had forgotten her earlier worries that morning.
As Clarisa entered DADA class, she remembered her unfinished DADA assignment, but knew it was too late to do anything as Umbridge gave her an evil smile." Miss. Whitewater, this is parchment is only seventeen foot long, so I guess it was a lie that you read the entire book isn't it!" Umbridge spat out, as she glared at Clarisa." No professor it's not a lie, I just had too much class assignments to do that I couldn't have the time to complete this one." Clarisa quickly explained, but Umbridge was not listening." In that case, a hundred points off Ravenclaw, and detention till the remainder of the school year, which will start tonight at nine PM!" Umbridge unkindly said, causing Clarisa to realized that she will be out pass curfew, but didn't say anything, as Umbridge handed out their reading assignments, on the same book Clarisa had already finish reading.
Later that evening dinner went too slowly, as Clarisa was told of the horror stories of Umbridge detentions, which included a Quill that bleeds anyone that wrote with it, but luckily Clarisa had a plan if Umbridge decided to use it on her, since she would have a special Rune on her hand which will have surprising results.
Later that night, Clarisa had arrived at DADA class five minutes before nine, causing Umbridge to be angry at her." Whitewater I said nine PM, and you are five minutes early, next time I want you here exactly on time, not before or after, do I make myself clear!" Umbridge spat out, and Clarisa only nodded, as Umbridge continued." Now that settle, you will sit, and wait till nine PM, for your detention!" Umbridge finished, and sat at her desk, waiting for the right time to start the detention, while Clarisa sat, and nervously waited.
Ten minutes pass nine, Umbridge stood up looking disappointed at seeing that Clarisa did not say anything about the time, but just took out a quill and some parchments." You will be writing lines, for your detention, and I want you to write I WILL NOT TELL LIES, until I say to stop." Umbridge rudely informed Clarisa, whom just nodded, and started writing.
After fifteen minutes, Clarisa noticed as she wrote, the words she was writing was carved into her hand, and her blood was being used as ink, but as she saw this, she inwardly smiled at the realistic illusions on her hand." Good thing I don't feel anything, or I would have thought I was really bleeding." Clarisa thought, as Umbridge, whom now seemed a bit weak, walked up to her." Good, you are learning!" Umbridge said, as she examined the carved words on Clarisa's hand." Now be back exactly at nine tomorrow, and we'll continue this again!" Umbridge informed, a now tire Clarisa, and quickly left for her dorms.
