Chapter 3:
Questions
Elphaba's heart was beating faster and faster with every step she took, Galinda was still gripping her arm as tight as possible. She saw the three professors striding ahead and several times she had half-jog to keep up with them,
"Elphaba" Galinda whispered, tugging on the sleeve of her dress, "Elphaba where are we going?"
"I don't know" Elphaba whispered back, "I thought we were going to an office, but we seem to have passed all of the doors" All of a sudden they stopped in front of a statue, Galinda was confused as said just as much,
"Um excuse me, sir or…um professor?" Dumbledore looked down on the timid girl,
"Yes?" He replied simply,
"Oh, um, well you said we were going your office" Dumbledore simply nodded in reply, and Galinda took that as a sign to continue, "Well I don't see an office, just an ugly looking statue thing" Elphaba's eyes widened and she pulled Galinda back to her side, Dumbledore just watched with amusement,
"Yes, we are going to my office, now watch dear" Dumbledore stepped back and said in a clear, "Sherbet Lemon!" then he leant towards Galinda and Elphaba, "I changed it back" and smiled, as the statue seemed to merge into the wall and became a passage to an elaborate office, the three professors practically flew in, Galinda and Elphaba walked in a bit more slowly,
"Madame Morrible would kill for an office like this" Galinda whispered excitedly in Elphaba ear, Elphaba grinned at her,
"You're right, I have no doubt about that" Elphaba whispered back in a calm tone, although her heart was still pounding ferociously in her chest. Dumbledore sat down at a rather large desk and Elphaba suddenly felt as though she was on trial, a feeling she had never liked, and never was going to.
"Elphaba Thropp," Dumbledore started, "I heard about you from Madame Morrible, she did tell me you were quite the student, and that you do like to cause commotions,"
'I don't cause commotions, I am one' She thought, before then trying to push the thought away from her head and pay attention to what was being said to her,
"Now, I must tell you, you are special," stated Dumbledore, but in a kind way, so she didn't start her paranoid frenzy, "No other student (And very few adults) can do what you just performed in the hall, and especially not without a wand."
"Really sir?" Elphaba asked surprised that a school for Witches and Wizards had no other students who could perform magic without the need for wands.
"Oh yes, you must be very talented" Dumbledore smiled warmly at Elphaba, who was currently at a lose for words, having not been used to being complimented, "Now, I don't usually do this, or should I say Professor McGonagall doesn't do this often, but she would like to teach you privately, to show you how to expand your great powers."
"Sweet Oz, thank you sir" Elphaba said, not often was she as excited as she currently was, not since Galinda first declared her love for her,
"No need to thank me, or anyone other than yourself" Dumbledore said warmly, "Now, do you have any idea of where you got this power from?"
"No, sir, I mean, from what I remember my mother had no power, nor my father, and neither my sister nor brother have shown any signs of it" Elphaba explained, she too had been pondering this herself, but never made any mention of it to anybody,
"Well, this is something then, you are a very special young girl, and to think, as you grow so will these powers of yours" Dumbledore exclaimed, clapping is hands together, "Now, I was wondering if maybe you could show a little of your powers?"
Elphaba's breath hitched in her throat, she had just been called special, but she didn't know much about her powers, or if she could turn them on and off, and she said so much to the professor,
"Elphaba, it doesn't matter if you can't do this first time, I just want to test something" Dumbledore explained kindly, Elphaba sucked in her breath and nodded slightly, "Excellent!" Dumbledore exclaimed in a similar manner to before, "Now listen carefully, I would like to see if you can light this candle using no wand" He said calmly, again Elphaba nodded, "Now place your hands like this," He told her, she placed her hands as he said, in a triangle shape just above the candle, the wick in the centre of the triangle, "Now close your eyes and think about this candle being alight, really concentrate on it and as you are concentrating move your hands slowly down the candle." Elphaba did so, and as her hands passed down the wick a flame appeared on the wick, Dumbledore placed his hands on Elphaba's shoulder to stop her movement, her eyes flickered open and she went wide-eyed at the dancing flame in front of her,
"This is really something" Dumbledore commented, his eyes also watching the magically created flame, "Now you two run along, either I or Professor McGonagall will tell you when your first lesson shall begin"
"Yes sir," The two girls said in unison and walked off together, the blonde giggling excitedly, Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape both came forward,
"She must be the one then Albus" McGonagall said,
"Yes Minerva I believe she is," Dumbledore said, "And I believe the young blonde, Galinda I believe her name was, is the Pink Witch."
"So this must mean the prophecy is commencing?" Snape questioned,
"Indeed it is, these are the two witches who shall help our own Harry Potter to defeat the Dark Lord Voldemort" Dumbledore said, the two professors nodded curtly, "These two Witches must not be armed in any way shape or form and we must be sure that Elphaba will bring Galinda along with her to her first lesson with you Minerva"
"I have no doubt that she won't, they seem to care for each other deeply," McGonagall exclaimed,
"So the prophecy insists, the two Witches must be partners in life, in love, in body and in soul" Dumbledore repeated the words of the prophecy,
"You not saying…" McGonagall started, but Dumbledore cut her off,
"Yes Elphaba and Galinda must give the other commitment by showing it the only way two lovers ever would…" Dumbledore smiled, "In body!"
