A/N; I been busy for the last five days moving almost my things over to my new home, and at the same time been writing this chapter when I had time, but look like after this chapter, I will not have internet access, unless I go to the library just a warning, since after today, I will be posting later then usual.
Also I don't own Harry Potter or its character, and please review.
A week gone by, and except for DADA and her detentions, Clarisa had no troubles, until the first weekend back in the wizarding world.
The morning of the first weekend went well as Clarisa ate her breakfast, until a pale as a ghost Umbridge stormed up to her." You did something to my Quill didn't you?" Umbridge toad like appearance yelled at Clarisa, as she held up the said Quill in Clarisa's face." Why would I mess around with your Quill professor?" Clarisa confusedly asked, as she noticed several other professors coming up to the scene." Why to avoid your detention of course!" Umbridge yelled in rage, as Dumbledore stepped up." Professor Umbridge, what is going on here?" Dumbledore asked, looking directly at Umbridge." WHAT GOING ON, Whitewater put a spell on my Quill to weaken me, I just found out the blood she and others who were in my detention for the last week to write lines was my own blood, instead of their own!" Umbridge quickly informed the Headmaster, whom grabbed the Quill, and after a long study was he not very happy." Professor, are you telling me you been using a Blood Quill for your detentions." Dumbledore asked in a not so friendly way, while the others gasped in outrage." Why of course I was, how else you suppose to teach these miscreants a lesson during their Detention!" Umbridge asked, as if there was nothing wrong." Mrs. Umbridge, we have laws that forbid the use of physical abuse towards the students, and I'm afraid that using an illegal artifact IS within that law!" Dumbledore angrily informed Umbridge, whom quickly back away since she knew she been caught." You can't do anything to me, I'm Senior Undersecretary to Minister Fudge, and he will see I'm right when I tell him about this terrible girl!" Umbridge stuttered, but quickly turned to the main doors, and ran for it." Stupefy!" Dumbledore yelled, and Umbridge fell before reaching the doors.
After making sure Umbridge would not be going anywhere anytime soon, Dumbledore turned to his students." Any students that were force to use this Quill please stay behind after Breakfast, since I need a full statement to convict Umbridge for her wrong doings." Dumbledore called out, and once he had secured Umbridge, Dumbledore levitated her to the side of main tables, where he started to finish his breakfast.
In the end, just over twenty students had stayed after breakfast, and all were baring the tell tale signs of the Blood Quill, which Dumbledore had taken both statements, and pictures for evidence, and once it was over, he both healed and dismiss all but one student.
Once the Great Hall was empty except for a lone student shyly standing before all of the professors, Dumbledore looked sorry." Miss. Whitewater, first I want to apologize for your mistreatment, and hope you will forgive us?" Dumbledore hopefully asked." To tell you the truth, it was I that reverse the curse on the Quill, so that instead of taking the writer's blood, it took Umbridge blood instead." Clarisa said with a sly grin, causing Dumbledore laugh out loud." That is brilliant work Clarisa!" Dumbledore laughed, and then turned to Flitwick." What do you say professor?" Dumbledore asked Flitwick." I had never heard of it been done before, since no one had reverse a curse that suppose to be irremovable, especially on a Blood Quill?" Flitwick said, as the other professors looked at Clarisa in awe." It's just a spell I got from my family library, maybe I can get it by owl." Clarisa suggested, and Flitwick quickly agreed, as Dumbledore spoke up." Now that settled, I guess I should see about Mrs. Umbridge." Dumbledore informed everyone, but turn to Clarisa." Oh before I forget, Clarisa I would like to have a word with you sometime today, maybe right after lunch, but if I'm not here till then, make it dinner, since I'm not sure how Minister Fudge will react to Umbridge using a Blood Quill." Dumbledore informed Clarisa, and sent her off.
Sometime later, Clarisa is sitting by the lake doing some work on several paarchments of Runes she was designing herself; she had hoped that one of them would lead to Voldemort downfall." Great this won't do, I still need more power then I have in myself to activate these Runes, and unfortunately I still don't know if they will work!" Clarisa complained, as she looked over almost a year work of studying, and the only thing she got out of it, was the last line of defense Rune which she used on the Muggle School, but unfortunately needed the school electrical power to help activate it." There is only one chance, I need Bill's help with this, maybe he can find a way to lower the power needed to power up these Runes." Was Clarisa last thought, since she found out it was close to lunch, she decided to pack everything, and headed back into the school.
Lunch seemed to go too slowly, as Clarisa talked with several of her fellow students about classes they had for the past week, and she was surprised when Dumbledore stepped up to her." Miss. Whitewater, if you are done eating, care to follow me to my office." Dumbledore kindly asked, and Clarisa nodded, as she stood up and followed Dumbledore.
In the Headmaster's office, Dumbledore and Clarisa sat besides the fireplace, where Dumbledore was the first to speak." You know Clarisa, you have greatly impressed all of your professors, and surprisingly one had suggested that you to be placed into an apprenticeship." Dumbledore informed Clarisa, whom was not sure about this." Apprenticeship, what do I have to do?" Clarisa asked." It requires that you spend at least four years working with one or more professors, that is a certified master in a field of magic, and once you taken the masters tests after you had completed your training, you will be also be certified master." Dumbledore informed Clarisa, and she gave it long thought." Professor, I would like to accept this, but right now I'm working on a Rune that hopefully will put an end to Voldemort." Clarisa started, sounded regretful." And unfortunately it's taking all my free time to work on it, so it will be ready for my next encounter with Voldemort!" Clarisa finished, as Dumbledore looked shocked at Clarisa plans for her next encounter with Voldemort.
For awhile Dumbledore didn't said anything, until he cleared his throat." This Rune you are working on, what does it do?" Dumbledore asked, as he looked interested." I'll just say the Rune will have the same affect on Riddle, as my last Rune I had on my Muggle school." Clarisa hinted, causing Dumbledore to look shock." But you said, that sort of Rune needed the school power supply to activate it, and I doubt you will have that much magic anytime soon!" Dumbledore shakily asked." I know, but with Bill working on Runes spells, I'm hoping he can help me figure a way to lessen the power needed to activate the Rune." Clarisa informed the Headmaster." Then if you need his help, I will give you permission to head over to Shadow Mansion, whenever you need to see Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore informed Clarisa, and she thankfully nodded." I will send Bill a letter as soon as I am ready to show him a number of Runes I'm working on, and hopefully in the near future we will have a working Rune, which will finally end Voldemorts reign of terror." Clarisa hopefully said, and Dumbledore nodded, as he hope so too.
Once Dumbledore found out Clarisa's plans, he decided to change the subject." Even though I fully agree that the Rune spell will need your top priority, I'm afraid that some professors might want an explanation of why you are not accepting an apprenticeship, which any student would've quickly accepted." Dumbledore informed Clarisa, and she sighed knowing that she would need to tell a few others about her past." Maybe if we tell Professor Mcgonagal about my past, maybe with her help we can deter the other professors from asking why I'm not accepting the apprenticeship." Clarisa suggested, and Dumbledore smiled." Good idea, I will call for her now." Dumbledore agreed and looked to the side." Dobby, I need you for a second!" Dumbledore called out, but as Dobby appeared, his eyes went wide as he saw Clarisa sitting before him.
For awhile the House Elf didn't speak until Dumbledore got his attention." Dobby, is something the matter?" Dumbledore worriedly asked, causing the elf to jump in surprise, before speaking." Master Potter, I thought you were dead!" Dobby stuttered, before rushing up to Clarisa, and starting crying as he hugged her legs, making Clarisa blush." Ah Dobby, how do you know who I was?" Clarisa confusedly asked, as Dobby continued hugging Clarisa." Dobby can see past magical changes, so Dobby always knows who you are, no matter how you look." Dobby happily explained, as he still hugged Clarisa." Ah Dobby, I'm happy that you know who I am, but could you let me go please!" A still embarrass Clarisa pleaded, and luckily Dobby did.
Once Clarisa was free of Dobby, an amused Dumbledore spoke up." Now that is settled, Dobby I want you to meet Clarisa Whitewater, as you know use to be Harry Potter." Dumbledore introduced." Glad to meet you Mistress Whitewater." Dobby bowed to Clarisa, as Dumbledore continued." Dobby, I need you to ask Professor Mcgonagal, to come to my office immediately, and you are invited also, so you will know more about Clarisa." Dumbledore informed the House Elf, and he nodded and disappeared.
Fifteen minutes later Mcgonagal had arrived with Dobby, and once she greeted everyone Dumbledore spoke up." Minerva, Miss Whitewater has a secrete she want to share with you, but you must promise that you will not share this information with anyone!" Dumbledore warned, and the stern professor quickly nodded." I promise Albus, but what is this secrete Clarisa is hiding?" Mcgonagal asked, and Dumbledore turned to Clarisa." I think Miss. Whitewater, that it will be best if you tell her?" Dumbledore suggested, and Clarisa nodded." Professor Mcgonagal, since I know you probably know about the Heir Transfer spell, I guess you will just need to know that I'm under it, and you knew my former self." Clarisa informed an unsure looking professor." I do know what the Heir Transfer spell does, but everyone I currently know that is around your age is here in Hogwarts, accept for…" Mcgonagal stopped, as she now realized who Clarisa use to be." No it can't be I saw Harry's body!" Mcgonagal explained, but Dumbledore intervene." Minerva, remember that the Heir Transfer spell can create another body for the soul to inhabit if enough power is place into the spell, and I believe that is what happen to Clarisa." Dumbledore informed a now wide-eye professor." If that is so Miss Whitewater, care to tell me why this change came to be?" Mcgonagal sternly asked, and Clarisa told her everything with the help of Dumbledore.
Once Clarisa and Dumbledore got Mcgonagal up to date, Mcgonagal had lost her stern look, and now was in tears." Miss. Whitewater, first I want to apologized, since I too said a number of terrible things about Harry, and was greatly regretting them the next day." Mcgonagal sadly informed Clarisa." I know, Professor Dumbledore had informed me about what happen the day after the Third Task, and I had already forgiving everyone of what they thought of Harry." Clarisa informed Mcgonagal, whom looked up to her." But still you don't want everyone to learn who you were?" Mcgonagal asked." No I don't, since I want to forget about being the Boy Who lived, and try living a life without the fame!" Clarisa firmly said, and Mcgonagal nodded in acceptance." Then I will go with your wishes, and treat you like any other student." Mcgonagal smiled, and Clarisa knew this would work out.
Once Mcgonagal was fully informed of Clarisa's past, Dumbledore decided to change the subject." Minerva, I guess I should inform you that Clarisa isn't going for her apprenticeship, since she needs time to work on her Rune spells, which is taking most of her free time." Dumbledore informed a not so happy professor." Then I guess I will lose the chance to help train a very talented young woman." Mcgonagal sighed in defeat." Not to worry Minerva, once Clarisa is certain that she can handle any Rune spells she come across, she will be accepting any apprenticeship we will be offering." Dumbledore informed Mcgonagal, and she nodded before turning to Clarisa." Then I hope it won't take that long, since we should start your apprenticeship as soon as possible." Mcgonagal warned, and Clarisa nodded." I'll try professor." Clarisa only said, as Dumbledore decided to call end to the meeting, so Clarisa can have the remainder of the day off.
Up to Sunday morning was uneventful, as Clarisa stayed in the library with Hermione to both finish up her class assignments, and do more work on her Rune spell, which unfortunately was too advanced for Hermione to be of any help." Any luck with those Runes?" Hermione asked, as they finish up their assignments." I think one of the Rune spells can be tested, but I'm still not sure if it will work?" Clarisa informed Hermione who looked at the foot size symbol, with a lot of small unknown ancient looking writings." There is only one way to find out, so let's head outside and try this out!" Hermione suggested, and Clarisa reluctantly agreed.
After finding a secluded spot by Hagrid's cabin, Clarisa created a living tree that seems to be dieing." Good, this didn't take as much magic as I thought it would?" Clarisa informed Hermione, as she got off the ground." It amazes me that you can create living things with your Rune spells." Hermione said, as she hoped she will learn this soon." I know this is amazing to do, but please step back, since I need to create a containment shield, to contain the Rune spell, we are experimenting with." Clarisa warned Hermione, and she quickly back away, as Clarisa created a Rune, which immediately created a black dome around the tree she just created." Great, I better get some rest before I continue, since the shield spell had drain me more then I thought." Clarisa said, as she fell to a sitting position." Clarisa are you alright?" Hermione worriedly asked." I will be, but we should continue this after lunch." Clarisa suggested, and Hermione reluctantly nodded, as they engage some girl talk to allow Clarisa to rest a bit, before heading to the school.
By the end of lunch, Clarisa was rested enough to try the spell, and with Hermione at her side, Clarisa stood facing the transfigured tree she created." Hermione, I'll try conjuring the Rune first, and see how it goes." Clarisa suggested, and Hermione nodded, as she watched her friend first attempt at casting the spell." Well here goes nothing!" Clarisa said, before she mumbled a spell, as she waved her wand, and to her relief the exact image of the Run she created floated in front of her." You did it Clarisa!" Hermione excitedly said." No, this is just the half of it Hermione, now for the hard part." Clarisa informed Hermione, and with a wave of her wand, the Rune flew into the shield that protected the tree, and it blew up.
As the dust settled, Clarisa and Hermione was unharmed thanks to the protective Rune Clarisa had set up." Great, I was hoping that was the right one!" Clarisa complained, as she now noticed that the tree was gone, and in its place was a five foot diameter hole." Maybe you still can use that Rune spell?" Hermione suggested, but Clarisa shook her head after scanning the damage area." Not against Voldemort, since he can escape while in spirit form if I tried this spell on him." Clarisa informed Hermione." I still need to work on it, and hopefully when I do the spell right, there will be no hope of Voldemort escaping period." Clarisa explained, and Hermione accepted it." Then once I get my hands on your books, count me in to helping you and Bill to figure out how to make this Rune spell work." Hermione committed herself, and they decided to head back to the school.
After the failed test of her new spell, Clarisa and Hermione had separated, since Clarisa was tired from casting the new spell, and had gone to her dorms to sleep till dinner, while Hermione went to library to continue studying for her classes.
Dinner had arrived too fast for Clarisa, since she still felt the affects of casting the spell as she got ready to head to the Great Hall." Note to one self, do the next Rune spell after breakfast, so I can get a full days sleep!" Clarisa tiredly thought, as she left the Ravenclaw common room.
Dinner was uneventful until the doors opened and a purple haired witch stumbled into the Great Hall while at the same time startled everyone." Sorry about that, I'm always clumsy when I'm nervous." The witch explained, as a grinning Dumbledore stood up from the head table." Students, I want you to meet your new DADA professor, Professor Tonks, she will be taking the place of Mrs. Umbridge for now on." Dumbledore introduced, as Tonks took her seat at the head table, and everyone started talking about the new professor.
At the Ravenclaw table, Clarisa smiled since she had like the clumsy Auror since their time at Shadow Mansion, and couldn't wait to see how Tonks classes would be like.
