Chapter 9: A Selection Of Powers
Saturday…
"Harry are you ready yet?" Hermione called up the Head Boy stairs. They were all going to Hogsmeade and Harry had been taking forever trying to tame his hair.
"Just a minute Mione!" He called back.
"Harry, we're all waiting for you here!" Ron yelled up.
"I said I would be a minute!" Harry shouted back.
"Harry James Potter, if you don't get your Kinetic arse down here now, I will go up there and drag it down myself!" Ginny shouted louder than Ron or Hermione had.
Harry almost growled. He wasn't done up here, but he wanted to get downstairs quickly. Suddenly, he found himself downstairs in front of an astonished Hermione, Ginny and Ron.
"What the-" Ron started, but Hermione slapped his chest to cut him off.
"Harry, how did you…?" Ginny started. Harry cursed inwardly. They hadn't told Ginny about their new powers.
"Just a minute, I'll be down then we can talk about it in Hogsmeade." Harry disappeared in a red flash, making the other 3 jump. Harry ran down the stairs, abandoning his hair to be met with a Ginny Weasley glare. "What? I said I'd tell you in Hogsmeade."
"Fine. But a full explanation." She kissed him and the four of them left to spend a whole day in Hogsmeade.
Sunday…
Ginny had taken the news that the other three had new powers quite well. Fair enough, she was jealous, but it didn't go any further than that. The four of them were discussing it in Harry and Hermione's common room when Hermione felt something behind her. She put her hands up defend her head and it suddenly went silent. She looked at Harry, Ron and Ginny, who were staring behind her and pointing. She turned to find an owl, suspended in mid air, with a letter attached to it leg.
"Wow, did I do that?" Hermione asked.
"Well, lets think, shall we? Who else here has the power to freeze?" Ginny said rhetorically, but in a joking sense and she knew Hermione got the joke too. The bird unfroze and seemed disorientated. Hermione took the letter and the owl flew off.
"Who's it too?" Ron asked.
"Harry. Not sure whose handwriting it is though." Hermione passed Harry the letter, who frowned as he read it.
"It's from Cho Chang. She's asking if I would go to Hogsmeade with her on Friday. On a date." Ginny scowled.
"Does she not know that if someone has a girlfriend, they usually don't date other people? Bitch." She let electricity flow from her hands at a window, which smashed. Harry stared at her while Hermione fixed the window.
"Ginny, let it go. I don't even like her as a friend anymore. I want you." He held her close in his arms and she relaxed.
"Thank you Harry." She whispered and kissed him. Ron and Hermione promptly turned away, giving the other young couple some peace.
Monday…
The Head dormitories were silent for 6 hours during Monday. But at 3:15, four people entered who made sure it wouldn't be quiet any longer.
"Merlin's beard. I hate Mondays." Ron complained, collapsing on one of the sofas, Hermione sitting next to him. Ginny and Harry took the other.
"Well, this is our last year. No more Hogwarts in less than a year." Hermione said, slightly sad, but also excited at the same time.
"Oh yeah, rub that in. Meanie." Ginny said, sticking her tongue out at Hermione. "I'm only in 6th year, I wish I could graduate with you lot."
"Well, you may not be graduating with us, but I'll come and see you during next year. But why don't we focus on this year first." Harry said, kissing her forehead. "Never know what surprises it will bring, do we?"
"Yeah. Harry's right. Excitement right around the corner." Ron said, with slight sarcasm in his voice. "Because Hogwarts is so exciting this time of year."
Harry pulled a face at Ron and squinted his eyes to use his telekinesis and make his textbook fly right by Ron to scare him. Ron, who jumped, caught it and was pulled into a premonition.
Start Premonition…
Lily was laying in a bed, with a basket next to her. James and Harry stood over it, smiling. Lily was looking at all of them, also smiling.
"Lils, she beautiful. Look at what we did." James said quietly.
"Yeah, you also made me." Harry said. "But you're not saying anything about me."
"Been there, done that, got the t-shirt." Lily said weakly. "Everyone did that to you nearly 18 years ago, its time to let your sister get some glory."
"I know, I was joking mum." Harry looked from his mother to his new baby sister. "So what are you going to call her?"
"Well, we decided a few months ago. Her middle name would always have been Lily, but we decided on an unusual name for her first name." James said to his son. "Her name is..."
End Premonition…
Ron gasped and dropped the book. His ears were ringing as he thought over the vision he had just witnessed.
"Ron, what's wrong baby?" Hermione asked, worried.
"Premonition." He said, taking deep breaths. "My first one. My ears are still ringing."
"What happened in it?" Harry asked. Ron thought about telling him, but decided against it.
"Don't worry Harry. It wasn't anything happening in the future, I think it was a past one. But it doesn't matter." Harry raised his eyebrow but didn't push the topic any further.
Tuesday…
"…Now you will have half an hour to finish this potion. You may begin." The silky voice of Severus Snape told his class of 7th year Gryffindors and Slytherins. Harry was with Ron and Hermione with Neville. Today, they were making a stunner potion, to be thrown at a person which had the same effect of a stunning spell. It sounded simple enough but was quite complicated. Neville had told Hermione that he was pleased to be working with her, because most other Gryffindors and all Slytherins detested working with him.
Their potions were going well, until Malfoy decided it would be a funny idea to sabotage Neville and Hermione's potion. He used his wand to throw a piece of lavender, which was only there to confuse the students and see if they fell for the trap, it would make the potion into a poison and explode, in their cauldron. Luckily, Hermione saw it out of the corner of her eye and used both her hands, hidden from the other students, to blow it up before it reached them. Malfoy looked shocked. He tried again, but again Hermione blew it up. Snape, who noticed a small explosion above the class's heads, looked around for who was causing it. He saw Malfoy levitating a piece of lavender. "Malfoy, what are you doing?"
Malfoy thought quickly. "Well sir, Granger just tried to sabotage my potion with lavender."
Snape glared over at Hermione. "10 points from Gryffindor Miss Granger." He grabbed the lavender and walked back towards his desk. On his way, he found the lavender explode in his hand, slightly burning it. He looked back around the class, but not one person had their wand out. He turned and sneered. 'Damn Gryffindors.' He thought.
Head Dormitories, Later That Day…
Ron replayed all thoughts Snape had said about the Gryffindors to the other Kinetics, who were almost rolling around in laughter.
"That was a nice piece of work you did there Mione." Harry said, wiping a tear away. They had shown Ginny the memory using Harry's pensieve, which had been one of his birthday presents from his parents. Ron stood up, regaining control. But Harry saw something that would definitely alarm Ron. "Ron, you might want to move, there's kind of a spider by your feet." Ron paled, looked down to see if it was true and jumped out of the way. Only, he never touched the ground again. He floated up, hovering about 10 feet up.
"Erm, guys help!" He tried floating back down, but it didn't work.
"Mum!" Harry shouted out. A figure orbed in, changing the orbs into the body of Lily Potter.
"What's wrong Harry?" She asked. He pointed at Ron. Lily looked at him, shook her head and smiled. "Not controlled your levitation yet have you?" She hovered up to him and pulled him down. He sat down immediately.
"Ok, not liking that power much." He said. Lily laughed.
"You'll get used to it. Now was that all, because I have to get going. I have an appointment at the Healers about the baby." Harry told her to go and she orbed out again. The Kinetics soon started talking again, about everything and anything. 'Just a normal day for us.' Harry thought to himself, smiling.
In A Corridor, Later That Day…
Paige was walking down, thinking about Kyle. She still missed him so much, and it had only been two weeks since he died. She was so in thought that she didn't see a person walking in the opposite direction. They collided and fell over.
"I'm so sorry, I wasn't concentrating." She said, but soon saw that the person she knocked into was one that she didn't particularly like. Draco Malfoy.
"Don't worry. So professor, are you dating anyone at the moment?" He asked, changing the conversation to an unexpected question for Paige.
Paige raised an eyebrow. Was he, one of her students, asking her out? " How old are you, Mr Malfoy?"
"17, professor." He answered.
"Well Draco. When you suddenly age 14 years, you can give me a call. Ok?" And with that, she continued down the corridor, leaving a confused Draco Malfoy behind. She walked past the girls bathroom which was out of order, and paused. Was something… No, she shook her head. Nothing could be happening in there. She made her way back up to her room, wanting to tell Piper and Phoebe she had been asked out by one of her students. Little did she know that in that bathroom, there was something happening. Something that hadn't happened at Hogwarts since 1985…
Ooh, cliff-hanger or what? Well, I have to leave you hanging there. You can find out what happens next in my next story. Sorry that this story is so much shorter than my other two, but I just couldn't keep it going. So I left you with an extra long chappie!
