Chapter 10
My jaw dropped. It really did. My name in the prophecy was the "One who could save us all or grant evil horrible power"? What did it mean?
"Whoa." Whispered Hermione in awe.
"Yeah." I agreed, still in shock. "Whoa."
Dumbledore stood abruptly. "I probably should have waited. An eleven year old shouldn't have to worry about things like this…"
"She's better off knowing." Interrupted Potter. "At least she'll know what's going on."
Dumbledore sighed. "There's no taking it back now, anyway. Let's go to my office. There's someone I want Ashley to meet."
Harry, Hermione and I walked through the door as Dumbledore held it open for us. He let go before the other lady went through.
"What about the other lady in there?" I asked.
"Who?" Said Dumbledore, surprised.
"The one with straight-ish brown hair and she's pretty tall…"
"Emma!" Accused Dumbledore angrily, slamming open the door that had just swung closed. "I told you to stay in my office! You shouldn't have followed me."
Harry and Hermione gave me questioning looks as if to say "Who's he talking to."
They glanced up and their eyes widened.
"Sorry Professor." Said the lady, speaking for the first time.
Dumbledore groaned. "Ashley, this is Emma. She can also help you with your powers. She can make herself invisible. Unfortunately, she MISUSES THE PRIVELAGE!"
Emma winced guiltily. "Sorry." She whispered.
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Whatever. Anyone know what time it is?"
Harry glanced at his watch. "Almost 10. We'd all better get some rest."
Dumbledore nodded. "Good idea Harry. If you don't mind, could you and Emma try to give Ashley another lesson tomorrow night? Lessons will be more infrequent once Ashley's stopped getting herself into trouble, but for now I think every night or every other night would be a good idea."
"Fine with me." Said Harry, glancing at Emma. "You?"
"Sure." Said Emma confidently. "Tomorrow night."
Then we all went to bed. Sorina was still awake when I climbed into my four-poster.
"What happened?" She asked quietly.
"I'll tell you tomorrow." I mumbled, hoping that tomorrow I could be more normal then I was today.
Unfortunately, I hoped wrong.
