Chapter Four
I ran a hand sleepily through my hair as Hermione dragged Luna and I downstairs 10 minutes before class was due to start. She was currently cursing our lack of sense being as today was the first day of classes. I still don't see why she was acting like this, but then again it's Hermione. It still didn't change the fact that I was still sleepy as hell and wished that I had History of magic first period because then I could sleep more. I still couldn't believe most people would miss out on this chance to sleep in class without the teacher noticing. I barley noticed when we got to the great hall, but immediately latched onto the cup of coffee that appeared on the table. I hummed in bliss as Blaise chuckled across from me and asked, "Still the same pain in the ass to wake up in the morning?"
I offered the Italian male a half hearted glare with half-lidded eyes. Hermione groaned as she grabbed her breakfast, "Yes. Honestly you would think she would wake up early in the mornings, but nope."
I grabbed an apple and began to eat it much to Hannah's dismay as she said, "You need to eat something other than that Frost."
I merely offered the girl a small shrug and continued to eat my apple. Daphne giggled softly, "Hannah you know as well as the rest of us that she'll never change. Apples are the only thing you'll find her eating in the morning."
Hannah groaned softly, "I know, but still it isn't healthy."
"At least it's something," Tracy offered with a slight grin.
"Ms. Granger I hope this habit isn't going to continue," Professor McGonagall said as she walked over to us, "10 minutes before class is due to start and on the first day no less,"
"I apologize Professor, for the fault is mine this fine morning," I say causing her to look at me in slight surprise, "Please forgive me for causing it,"
"Ms. Potter is there a reason as to why you're speaking with a Scottish accent?" The Professor asked causing me to shrug.
"Not really Professor. It's a habit that's always been with me," I offer her a slightly sheepish smile, "I can normally hide it, but in the mornings it's not something I can do,"
"Have you ever been to Scotland?" She asked causing me to nod.
"Just this past summer, Sirius took Luna, Hermione, and I there," I answer softly, "He said that he wanted to show me where my Mother''s clan came from,"
"I see," The Professor said slowly before handing Luna, Hermione, and I our schedule's while looking distinctly surprised though it was hidden quickly, "Please look over your schedules and try to not make it a habit to come down ten minutes before classes. The last few years I let it slide because they weren't as important, but now you're beginning your NEWT studies and must be ready for them,"
I looked over my schedule and nodded to myself, "Looks like I have Runes first period with you Hermione."
Hermione looked pleased before looking at Draco, Susan, and Hannah, "Did you three choose to continue this year?"
"I did," Draco confirmed while Hannah nodded though Susan shook her head.
"I chose to focus on defense this year along with a few others that will help me become an Auror," Susan said causing me to nod.
"We should get to class. Wouldn't want our teachers to get angry," Ginny said though the smirk on her face said other wise.
She had a good point so we all began to get up. I made sure to grab three more apples to hold me over much to Tracy's amusement. Said girl wrapped her arms around my shoulders as she whispered, "You'll still be give me information for my Transfiguration, Potions and Charms homework right?"
"The deal is the same as last year," I answer softly, "I'll give you the list later,"
She nodded and slid off to Daphne's side. The icy blonde nodded to me before heading off to her class with Tracy trailing behind her. I made my way up the stairs slowly as I followed Hermione and Draco. Tracy would always ask me for help in those subjects and I would provide information for her, but she had to draw her own conclusions. It was a system that worked out best in the end because it gave Tracy the help she needed and me anything that I needed at the time.
Daisya and Krory
The two watched as Frost walked away with her friends. Daisya had a smirk on his face as he said, "Scottish accent is there."
"Another point towards it being her, but we still need to watch," Krory said in reply.
"Ah Mr. Arystar," Dumbledore said as he walked up, "I hope you are well this morning,"
"We're fine thank you for asking," Krory assured though for some reason he didn't like this man, "What can we do for you this fine morning?"
"I just wished to know what you plan to do during your stay here?" Dumbledore answered with his usual grandfather persona up, "Do you plan to patrol the castle and grounds?"
"For now, we plan on surveying the land," Krory answered though his eyes narrowed a bit.
"Are you planning to send letters to Adam?" Dumbledore asked, "Reports if you will?"
"A monthly report; however, if something note worthy happens, we will be sure to send a report immediately," Krory answered while standing, "If you'll excuse us, we must get started,"
"Of course," Dumbledore replied though he didn't show it, he was rather angry for being brushed off like that, "Pleasant day to you then,"
"And to you as well," Krory said before walking off with the others following him.
"Something wrong Krory?" Daisya asked as they walked through the doors to great hall.
"I don't like that man. He seems fake," Krory answered, "Be watchful of him. The Earl will want to know everything that's going on if Polarise is here,"
Agreements were given and the five split up to gather more ground.
With Frost
I sat next to Tracy in the back of the room as we watched Snape pace in front. I could feel the subtle stiffening of her muscles as the man continued to do so. I was keeping better control of myself than she was, but for the girl, it was amazing how much control she was showing. Her time in Slytherin house had not been the best due to her friendship with me, but like the rest of us, she tried not to care about what others did. The Professor had been harsher with both Daphne and her due to how close the three of us were. It was probably going to be a rough year with him teaching defense, but we would push through it like we did with potions. Daphne settled on Tracy's other side and grabbed the stiffening blonde hand. She relaxed immediately as usual much to my amusement. Snape sneered as the last person entered the class, "You all have received a patch-work education with the last year being the most dunder-headed of all. Some of you," His dark eyes flickered to where my friends and I sat in the back of the class, "Took it upon yourselves to actually learn something. If it will help you in this class, it will be a surprise..."
Small Time skip
"Well that was..." Neville trailed off as he took a seat against one of the many trees by the lake.
"Shitty," Tracy said while plopping down on the ground.
"While it could have gone better," I agree causing Tracy to smile only to frown as the next set of words left my mouth, "It showed he would be a good teacher,"
"How the hell did you work that out?" Tracy demanded.
"While I hate to agree with her," Hermione said much to the blonde's anger.
"Hey!" Tracy growled only to be ignored.
"How exactly did you work out that conclusion?" Hermione finished as if not interrupted.
I sighed softly from my place on one of the high stones in the little area we had claimed so long ago, "To be truthful, I'm still skeptical on how good of a teacher he will be for the class."
"I'm sensing a but in there," Hannah said causing me to nod.
I ran a hand through my hair as I puzzled about how to phrase my next statement before deciding to just push through it, "His style of teaching needs work, but that doesn't mean the information he'll be giving us won't be beneficial to learn."
"What'dya mean?" Tracy asked causing me to give her a deadpan stare, "Right I'll let you finish,"
I nodded to her before sighing, "You all know his past right?" Nods were given, "What exactly do we know about him? Well, other than being a friend of my mothers, his past with the Marauders, and him being a potions master."
"The man needs better social skills," Tracy said bluntly causing a few snickers.
"Yes, but other than that," I agree with a small smile.
"He's a Death Eater and a member of the Order," Susan added causing me to nod.
"He wears a shit load of black," Tracy added causing snorts.
"I think the Dungeon Bat nickname gave that away," I say causing snickers, "But what else?"
"Dark Arts..." Neville said hesitantly.
"So what?" Tracy asked while turning to him, "What's that got to do with current topic-"
"Correct Neville," I say causing her to turn to look at me.
"Say what now?" Tracy asked in disbelief, "What the hell do the dark arts have to do with anything?"
"He will be focusing on the Dark Art's most likely," I say before looking at Draco who offered me a nod, "Because of this, we'll actually be able to encounter the spells before they're used on us, Alright?" I saw a few hesitant nods, "The knowledge we gain will allow us to figure out which spell it is, counters if any exist, what the spell does, how much damage it can cause, how far the spell can go, and everything else that matters,"
"What you're saying, is that we'll be better prepared for the war ahead of us?" Blaise asked causing me to nod.
"Correct," I gave them all a smile, "With that in mind, we really need to figure out a schedule for all of us to work with. I believe that Saturdays would be the best days to work together on getting our physical conditions up and running,"
"What about Quidditch?" Fred asked causing me to hum.
"Right we're going to need to get the team ready for the games this year and next year as well," I closed my eyes as I thought over my schedule, "Saturday mornings would be best spent working on Quidditch with everyone looking up spells or doing homework," I open my eyes slowly, "We'll need to figure out the whole team, look over everyone's schedules, and figure out where everything works together before we begin practice, but Saturday mornings will be a permanent fixture," I look at Fred and George, "We'll be working together to figure out all the various strategies for the year,"
"What's wrong with the old ones?" Fred asked causing me to shrug.
"While some a useful, we really need some new ones to spice things up," I answer with a slight smirk, "After all, we can't let the other teams get used to our plans can we?"
"No," George said as Fred nodded, "We should start figuring those out right?"
"Later," I agree before looking up at the castle, "Those with class should get going,"
Hermione, the Twins, Hannah, Draco, Susan, Daphne, Neville, and Blaise stood up. They offered their goodbyes as Ginny and Luna made their way over. I smiled as Luna plopped down next to me with a smile. I reached into my bag and took out my last apple before splitting it with the knife Sirius gave me. Luna took one half and I the other before we began to snack on it. Ginny pouted at me and I chuckled softly before tossing her one of the chocolate bars I had in my bag. Tracy grabbed one from her own bag as Ginny asked, "How come neither of you are taking Arithmancy?"
"I'm not good with numbers," Tracy said unabashedly.
"I just don't care to learn it," I answer with a small shrug, "While it's need for certain parts of spell making, I've already learned enough to know what to do,"
"Have you made any new spells?" Ginny asked causing me to hum and nod, "What kinds?"
"Mostly elemental," I answer causing the three to giggle, "I did make a new illusion spell,"
"What does it do?" Tracy asked causing me to smirk, "Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like that spell?"
"Oh it's not that you won't like it, it's just that you probably won't want it placed on you," I say causing her to look at me in confusion and a small bit of sadistic excitement.
"What does it do?" She asked again.
"It makes you believe you've gone to another world entirely," I answer causing her to pout a bit, "The world is one of your dreams, but like dreams it can be pleasant or unpleasant,"
"It causes nightmares?" She looked rather giddy at that.
"Yes, but the dream depends on what the caster is feeling at the moment it is cast," I continue my explanation, "If the caster is feeling happy, the world will be pleasant, but if the caster is feeling angry, it will be a nightmare,"
"Okay so it's emotion based?" Ginny asked causing me to nod, "Is there a way for it to be what the caster wants without being based on emotions?"
"Yup," I hum softly, "It was easy to create the first part of the spell, the world if you will," They nodded, "But to add a second, higher level to the spell it took a matter of weeks," Tracy sucked in a harsh breath, "I assume you both know what that means?"
"The higher level part of the spell will require double or triple the amount of magic the first level needed," Tracy breathed out in shock.
"Not only that," Ginny added with slightly wide eyes, "It's an illusion spell, so it'll take a lot of magic anyway,"
"Correct," I smiled at both of them, "Want to know the name of the spell?"
"Yes," They chorus.
"The first spell is 'somnia mundi'(1)," Both nodded at that, "The second is either 'Somnia mundo infernum' (2) for Nightmares or 'Somnio mundum caelum(3)' for good dreams,"
"I'm so going to learn that spell," Tracy vowed much to my amusement.
"Try as you like," I say while leaning back against Winter as he appeared, "Luna already knows it,"
"Really?" Ginny asked causing the blonde at my side to nod, "Nice!"
"Damn already beaten by a kid," Tracy growled playfully, "But at least it's another blonde!"
I shook my head in amusement before focusing on Ginny as she asked, "So what did you guys do over the summer other than make a few spells and travel?"
"I drew," I ignored the resounding snort that earned, "I also got a new broom, a bunch of new supplies, a lot of books, new clothes, and a few other things to name a few. I also learned a lot of diffrent things over the summer that'll help us train for the war,"
Luna said, "I found evidence of nargles!"
I shook my head as Tracy and Ginny went wide eyed. I snapped my fingers causing the two to look at me, "Alright you three. How about we get some pranks planned and put into action."
I was given three very large grins and grinned in reply. Ah it's so good to have good enablers and helpers.
Time Skip
"Frost you're helping me with my Homework for this class," Hermione said causing me to give her an exasperated look.
"Hermione you do realize how last year ended up right?" I ask tiredly causing her to blush.
"It'll be diffrent this year!" She protested causing me to snort.
"You wouldn't listen to a thing I said," I deadpan causing her blush to deepen.
"Potions is not like cooking no matter how you put it!" Hermione exclaimed causing me to shake my head.
"It is," I pinched the bridge of my nose, "It's just an over complicated and advanced type of cooking where one mistake will most likely kill you..." I paused for a moment, "Or injure you to the point that healing won't help,"
Hermione shook her head, "It isn't like that."
"Protest all you like, but that's how it is in my head," I say while walking towards the stairs, "I can't help you if you won't listen to me,"
"I didn't even know you could cook," Tracy said causing me to shrug.
"I would be surprised if she couldn't," Blaise commented with a teasing grin, "She is a little jack of all trades you know,"
"I do what I need to, to survive," I retort with a small shrug, "So shut it,"
"Oooh getting feisty now?" Blaise teased causing me to give the Italian boy a glare, "Little chibi storm,"
"Keep calling me that and I will turn you into a cheetah cub," I growl causing him to smirk at me.
"Bring. It. Little. Chibi. Storm," He said slowly before taking off running.
I chased off after him with a growl and pulled out my wand. I began to cast the human transfiguration spell over and over at him. With each miss, I got closer to hitting him. He began to sweat and pant as we continued this little game of cat and mouse. I began to smirk as we ran and added in a few other spells. I finally managed to corner him and grinned down at my prey. He paled as I said, "Caught ya."
"N-now, n-now we don't n-need t-t-to d-d-do t-this," Blaise tried to bargain, "Y-you w-would g-get i-into trouble,"
With a laugh, I cast the spell on him. He let out a pathetic mewl as he transformed into a cheetah cub. I picked him up carefully, "You do realize that I don't care about getting into trouble right?" I made my way back to our friends before depositing him into Neville's arms, "Let's get our stuff settled into our dorms before going to eat."
Laughter echoed through the hall as we separated. Draco carried Blaise's bag for him due to the now transformed male being unable to. Ah some of the things magic can do!
With the Exorcists
"Are you serious?" Krory asked causing Al to nod since he had just returned from his patrol and thus saw what happened.
Daisya let out a loud laugh, "Damn that means Polarise can now go through with her threat to turn Lavi into a rabbit!"
Snorts echoed from the others while Krory shook his head at that. It wasn't as funny as they thought it was, but then again he had been around Polarise during the mission to get Cross before she had been called away. The pranks the girl had pulled had become the norm since they had happened often enough. With magic, they would probably be funny once more, but only time would tell. He let out a sigh as he looked out at the slowly darkening sky. Another point in the direction leading towards Polarise. It would seem that only time would truly tell if it was her, but with the facts coming in, he was beginning to believe that it was her.
