Thanks for the Patience and Enjoy!! .... AND I OWN NOTHING... just thought I should clarify that fact!


Hermione and I sat on my bed, we had been talking but silence had fallen over us and neither of us could think of a way to break it. We had been talking about the boys flying the other day and why I didn't fly. The boys, well, once they heard that I didn't like to fly, they just went straight up to flying so Hermione and I sat and talked about books. But books only last a few hours and by then we had to go in.

Then for the next two days after I stayed in my room stating that I had a horrible headache, a migraine. But now I was sitting with Hermione on my bed, in silence, just wishing that we had something to talk about.

Then she asked the question that I didn't want asked that day, "What are the headaches from?"

"Umm… I don't…" Okay not exactly the question that I thought it was going to be but it was still one that made me explain things to others about my apparent 'gift', and that made me uncomfortable. "Look Hermione, not that I don't want to tell you, but it is just a complicated story."

"We are stuck in this house for about a month longer and we don't have to go downstairs for about another two hours for dinner with a family friend of the Weasley's from the Ministry. I think that that should be enough time for a 'complicated story'."

"You don't take no for an answer do you?"

"Not usually, no. So, story time." She moved a bit and sat Indian Style looking at me. I copied her before starting.

"The headaches are a type of warning system, a painful warning system. It depends on the amount of time, hours to days, that the headache stays that determines when and how painful the vision type thing is going to be. It provides me with time to prepare myself and give Charles a warning about how I am going to be acting, about how I need to protect myself."

"Did you know that the one that you had four days ago was coming?"

"You caught that did you, no I didn't, don't tell Charles or anyone, please. If Charles found out it would be bad, really bad, he wouldn't let me go to school and he won't take his job. I need to go to school, I need school." I couldn't believe that I was begging her not to tell my brother.

"I wont," she said with a curious look set on her face. "But you do know that that wasn't a complicated story, kind of simple really. And when is the next one going to come?"

"Usually people have more questions then that that I don't want to answer, and it will be coming either sometime later today or tomorrow. It is a warning system, just not the best cause it doesn't always work that well as you saw three days ago."

"Oh, okay. Umm…. No more questions. We could go see if Mrs. Weasley wants any help with preparations or we could go bug the boys. Which one?"

"We could go see the boys I guess, they are your friends so I think that I should get to know them too, seeing that I am only going to know you three and Ginny at school."

"Okay, but they may being talking about brooms or something, or about failing potions this year."

"I love potions," I said earning a pitiful smile from her. "What?"

"You're not going to after this year. The teacher is horrible, mean and well, did I mention horrible!"

"We will see. Let us go bug your boyfriend and Harry." That shocked her.

"My... my… my what?!?"

"Ron, Hermione, your boyfriend Ron, you are together are you not?"

"No! We are just friends."

"Oops, this is awkward… umm, I thought that you were. Don't you want to be?"

She gave me a sad look before saying, "Of course I do but… the whole being to shy puts a damper on it. He is to shy to ask me…"

"So ask him, what is the big deal, you're both adults here and I see nothing wrong with you asking him to go out on a date with you. Unless you can come up with a reasonable or logical excuse for not asking, you should ask him sometime, I doubt that he will say no, I would look if you wanted me to try for you, it may not work but I could try."

"No you don't have to look, but thanks. I just don't think that I could, I am to shy too. And I am Hermione, why would he want to date me?"

"Because, look, he likes you, you can see it in the way that he looks at you, but whatever, it isn't my place, I am the new girl, you don't even know me, but I mean you can go and ask Ginny about it, or Mrs. Weasley."

"No thank you, but I don't think that I should talk to them about that. Maybe, maybe I will talk to Ron about it soon, but lets go see the boys…"

We were about to get up when a knock came on the door and a boy said, "Ms. Granger and Ms. Winter, we redheaded twins and another redhead boy and certain black haired boy would like to bring you downstairs to the party."

I looked at Hermione as she chuckled and walked to the door and said through it, "we have over an hour Fred."

"Yes, but we have early arrivals and Mum wants you downstairs, both of you girls. Now Hermione, would you please open the door, I have my pouting face on!"

"Go away George! We are coming!"

"Open the door Hermione," two voices whined.

"Fine," Hermione said as she opened the door and the twins came crashing in followed by Harry and Ron. I followed the twins with my eyes and they both sat on either side of me on the bed. Harry and Ron stood by the wall looking at the pictures that I had put up in my room.

"So which is which? Fred? George? George? Fred?" I asked as I crossed my arms and pointed at the two.

"Fred."

"George"

"Okay, good to know, now I just hope that I don't forget that, but I most likely will, so your going to have to help me out Hermione."

"Okay. Should we go, I thought that Mrs. Weasley wanted us downstairs."

"Oh yeah, mum will be yelling soon if we all don't get down there. Lets go George."

"Right Fred."

"Right Said Fred…"

"What?" Fred said as everyone stared at me.

"It is an English pop band that a friend back home liked. You heard of them? No, okay," I said as I walked past everyone and started down the stairs hearing everyone behind me.

Once downstairs and out side I learned that the guest were a family from a nearby magical community that Mr. Weasley worked with, who had a little baby girl named Abigail, about four months old, who at the moment was sleeping.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Teeple," George and Fred said as they sat on either side of me, while Ron, Harry and Hermione sat across from us.

"Hello George and Fred, how are you two doing?"

I zoned out, wasn't in the mood for small talk and soon I noticed that food was being past around and people were talking about many things while Mrs. Teelpe was trying to calm down the baby girl who had woken up and was crying hard.

"Here, can I try?" I asked getting up and moving to next to Mrs. Teelpe, causing everyone to stare at me. "I have good luck with these things."

"Sure," she said as she handed Abigail over, "knock your self out trying."

I smiled as I slightly walked away bouncing her trying to think of a good song to sing but the only one that popped into my head was Shine that Bethany had written a few years ago in study hall when I was having a bad day with homework.

"This life is light,

Its light burns bright.

So we'll take it day by day,

And let it be."

I hadn't noticed that anyone at the table was paying attention to my voice or the fact that I was singing.

"And everyone will see,

How good it feels.

Oh they'll see the world for all that it could be.

Oh let the sunlight in

I wanna feel it from within.

You spin me around

And make me feel like I could shine, shine"

I smiled at the smiling baby and kissed her head before I continued to sing softly.

"So what do you say,

If the sky turned gray?

With a kiss you send the rain clouds on their way.

Oh let the sunlight in,

I wanna feel it from within.

You spin me around

And make me feel like I could shine, shine, shine."

I was humming now a few parts that Bethany had always hummed to me as I spun a little but with Abigail and shifted her so that she was resting on my shoulder before I continued softer to make sure that she fell asleep again.

"This life is light,

Its light burns bright

Every moment is a moment you could say."

I closed my eyes and imagined Bethany singing the rest with me.

"Oh let the sunlight in,

I wanna feel it from within.

You spin me around

And make me feel like I could shine, shine.

Let the sunlight in.

I wanna feel it from within,

You spin me around

And make me feel like I could shine, shine, shine, shine."

I opened my eyes again and walked back to the table and realized that everyone was staring at me. I handed the baby back to her mother before I walked back to my spot ignoring the looks that everyone was giving me. I sat back down in between the two twins and asked as I felt and looked at my shoulder, "What, did the baby spit up on me?"

"No," Hermione said, "You have a beautiful voice."

"Oh, thanks, may I have the salad please Mrs. Weasley?"

I ignored Hermione, Ron Harry and the twins as I got my food and ate only saying 'thanks' and 'okay' and things like that when they tried to talk to me about my singing. Finally I said, "You guys, thanks really, but I don't like to sing much, that was more Bethany's thing, I just sang with her around the house, if I had known that you all had been able to hear me I probably would have lost my voice. I have terrible stage fright."

With that I excused myself and started to the house, but not before the I got dizzy and heard voices yelling my name as the earth got very close to my face but before I blacked out a pair of red snake eyes and the sound of screaming of hundreds of people filled my head and I saw a small blue hand bag right as everything suddenly was gone.


Sorry that it has been a while since I posted by my muse was chased away by my needing to do homework for school and the fact that College work takes up all my time.

I hope that you enjoy and I would like a review or two if you don't mind, cause they make me happy that the story makes you happy... or sad... or mad... or what ever they make you feel!

And thanks to those who are patient and did review... Jake-is-my-boy, Senemir, and Brilliantseeker.

The song is Shine by Rosi Golan and Human (.com/watch?v=ox4ug7-Ress)

And thanks for putting up with the grammar mistakes and stuff, I try but I am human and I make mistakes...
