A/N: I rewrote this chapter because I thought it sucked! You all said that it was good and I thank you for it, but I just didn't like how it happened so I fixed it. I also made it a lot longer so I hope you like the revision I did. For those of you who don't know I'm still doing this without a beta so if you find problems let me know and I'll fix them.
Disclaimer: I only own my idea, and I own Anie!
Chapter 16
When the Golden Trio walked into the DADA room the first thing they noticed was that there was a dueling table set up much like when they attended the dueling class their second year.
Why? Why do we need to do this again? Harry groaned.
"Who do you reckons going to be the teacher this year?" Ron asked distractedly, still trying to sort out the day's earlier events.
"I don't recall seeing a the new teacher ever at the head table." Remarked Hermione.
"Teachers. And you haven't, because they haven't been there." A voice snide. The trio turned around to face the person who spoke, only to come face to face with the Silver Trio. Ginny gave Harry and Hermione and quick glance and spoke again, "I don't see any long term damage, pity."
"The pity is that the spells didn't hit you!" Hermione quipped.
"Really, Granger. With all that brains one would hope you'd be able to come up with something more witty." Pansy drawled.
"Hermione's the smartest Witch in all of this century, she would run circles around your puny minds," Harry sneered.
"Not anymore, not ever. For you see I've always been here. And if you want puny minds-" Ginny was cut off by a new voice.
"Alright two six, take your seats." Everyone turned to see none other than Mad-Eye Moody standing at the front of the classroom. Each taking their respected seats they waited for the rest of the class to find there way into the classroom.
"Good morning class, today we are starting dueling. The reason for this is because troubling times are rapidly approaching. The Headmaster thought it wise for you lot to know how to defend yourselves. Today is just a test run to see where we will begin. Before we start, most of you know who I and my assistant are, but for those who don't, or who have horrid memories, my name is Professor Moody and my assistant is Professor Lupin." Everyone in the class watched as Lupin came out of the shadows. "Now to start off today we thought we'd make it a little entertaining and start with the top 3 students in both houses. So would Mr. Potter, and… Mr. Malfoy," Moody gave a look at Lupin, "please take come to the table. After them will be Mr. Weasley and Ms. Parkinson, and finally Ms. Granger and Ms. Weasley." Everyone in the classroom was looking at the last pair, many trying to decide who would better the other. Hermione was slightly pale, but Ginny was grinning like a maniac. "Would Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy please take the positions."
Ginny and Pansy both walked up with Draco, speaking quietly to each other as the girls each took a spot on either side of the ring, while they waited for Potter.
Seeing what Ginny and Pansy followed Draco up, Ron and Hermione followed Harry up as well. Soon the whole class was around the ring, while Draco and Harry faced off.
"Scared Malfoy?"
"Never of you, Potter." Draco remembered Ginny's warning of "Play fair, lets beat them at their own game. They think they're the most self righteous people in the world, but they will be very underhanded."
"There will be no spells to harm only to disarm the other opponent. Is that understood?" Lupin pressed, knowing no matter what he said that it wouldn't matter with these two.
Both nodded in agreement.
Lupin put up a protective barrier around the ring so no deflected spells would hit the other students. "Right then, wands at the ready. Three… two.-"
"Expelliarmus," Harry shouted.
"Protego, Impedimenta," Draco drawled in a bored fashion. Interesting, my little weasel was right… hmm I really like the sound of that. (Impedimenta- This hex is capable of tripping, freezing, binding, knocking back and generally impeding the target's progress towards the caster. The extent to which the spell's specific action can be controlled by the caster is unclear.) As Harry dodged the spell unprepared for Draco to cast the final blow, "Expelliarmus." Harry's wand flew to Draco's outstretched hand. "Interesting, Potter. You think to win aginst Voldemort with that puny excuse for dueling?" Draco sneered throwing Harry's wand to him.
"Very good Mr. Malfoy, 10 points to Slytherin. 10 points from Gryffindor." Harry was about to say something when Lupin gave him a look clearly saying 'you know you deserve it so shut up.' "Next let's have Mr. Weasley and Ms. Parkinson please take your ready." Moody called.
Pansy and Ron took their places.
"You going to jump the gun too?" Pansy sneered.
"Course not, that's in poor form that is." Ron said. Honestly what was Harry thinking?
"Indeed." Interesting… the Weasel-King not defending Pot-Head's actions…
"Alright you two, Ready?" Receiving nods from both of them, Lupin started the count down. "Three…two…one… go."
"Expell-." Ron bellowed.
"Langlock." Pansy yelled, at the same time. (Langlock- Glues the subject's tongue to the roof of their mouth.) Ron wasn't fast enough and Pansy's spell hit him square in the chest. "Expelliarmus." Ron's wand flew to her. "Finite Incantatem" Pansy handed Ron his wand and left the ring.
"Very good. Five point to each. Next we have Ms Granger and Ms Weasley, please step forward."
"Ready to lose Slytherin Scum?"
"Never to you, Mudblood."
"Why you-"
"Save it for the duel," Ginny said coolly. Honestly who does she think she is? God's gift?
"With Pleasure."
"Ready? Three…-"
"Levuicorpus." Hermione shrieked. (the victim is dangled upside-down by their ankles)
"Protego. Now who's the cheat?"
"Silencio." Ginny side-stepped the spell.
"Best you got?"
"Diffindo. Sectumsempra." Hermione yelled. (Diffindo- Tears the target, or a specific area on the target. Sectumsempra- A spell that creates a gash on the subject the way the wand is moved.)
Ginny dodged both spells deciding to torment the girl. Really there was only one way for her to learn and that was to be shown she wasn't the greatest. After many more spells cast from Hermione and all being dodged by Ginny, did she finally give in and say, "Expelliarmus," the spell hit Hermione right between the eyes, sending the girl flying into the protective barrier, and her wand straight to Ginny's hand. "Now, I thought we weren't suppose to harm, Granger." Ginny threw Hermione her wand. "Now you want to play, get up and we will see who wins, and to see who the real scum is." Ginny hissed. Draco along with all of Slytherin know that Ginny was playing with the girl before, but they saw the evil glint in her eyes now and knew someone had to stop this. Yet no one was foolish enough to cross her. They all knew power when they saw it, and at that moment Ginny was pulsing with it.
"I'll take you on. Really she's not worth your time."
Everyone turned and stared at Anessa thinking she was crazy. Even the professors' thought the girl was out of her mind, they too saw the glint in Gin's eyes, but had no idea how to stop the Slytherin.
"Everyone take your seats! The dueling is over. Ms. Weasley if you would kindly put your wand away and take your seat we will finish the leason." Lupin insisted. No one moved. Ginny and Anie were locked in each others gaze and neither would break it and be the lesser. Slowly Anie stepped up to the dueling table. Professor Moody and Lupin both were about to yell for the class to get to there seats when Ginny spoke in a cool, collected tone.
"Why are you doing this? Why would you want to go against me?" Ginny asked slightly confused but didn't portray it. She knew she was good, but she didn't know anything of the strange girl. She knew what Hermione's weakness' were, and used them. She had no upper hand with Anie.
"Because you need to learn, she sent me to teach you, but you wont believe me until I show you."
"As intertaining as all this is, maybe it would be best to save it for another time! Now everyone get to there seats now or it will be 100 points from your house!" Roared an livid Moody. What happened next only four people know, because the next thing everyone saw was Ginny on her back wandless, and Anie with two wands in hand standing not three feet from her.
With a flick of her wrist Anie froze everyone in the room. She walked the remaining steps to the table and positioned herself accordingly. "Now I know this is going to be a shock for you, so I'm going to try and take this slow with you, but how to do it? You're going to resist everything I say until you have proof, so proof you shall have. Hmmm now how?" She focused and unfroze Ginny.
Confused Ginny looked around, just a second ago she was staring at Anie, but she wasn't there anymore! What the fuck? Where the bloody hell did she go? Looking around she noticed something else wasn't right, but couldn't place it.
"Over here." Ginny turned, wand draw and faced Anie. Anie read the confusion clearly on the other girls face, but she also caught a hint of anger, and fear. Slowly Anie raised her hand and Draco and Pansy unfroze as well.
"What the fuck? What the hell happened?" Draco said, mimicking Pansy's thoughts.
"I wanted Pansy and yourself to be witnesses to this, so Ginevra here can have someone else to confirm what's to happen here."
"And what exactly is happening here?" Ginny and Pansy said together.
Pointing at Ginny, "You need to learn what only I can teach you. This school can only take you so far, and you have already met that limit. You know this in your heart, but your mind is fighting this, that is why I have to do this." Anie waved her arms around indicating to the frozen room, which the other three had neglected to notice.
"You did this?" Ginny asked in awe, as she watch Draco walk over to Harry Potter to do something truly Slytherin, but was interrupted by Anie's voice.
"I wouldn't touch them. Once you do they'll unfreeze. You'll have your time soon, as doing this, yes I did. You can too but you have to learn how to control your powers. That's why she sent me." She directed her attention to Ginny again.
"How do I know what you say is the truth?"
"You don't, not yet."
"I have a question that I seriously want answered! Why did you freeze the room to start with?" Pansy demanded.
"So Ginevra here can get her agrestion out on someone before she get herself expelled for killing that idiot Granger. Speaking of, which one of you will count down, we must hurry because this wont last much longer. I don't the control to keep it up much longer."
"Whatever, lets just do this." Ginny said, starting to get angry again, remembering her duel with Hermione.
"Alright I'll count down. Ready?" Both nodded after they got positioned. "Alright, three… two… one… go." Draco said, hiding his nervousness in what this unknown girl's power could do to his Ginny.
Neither girl moved for a few seconds, just judging the other, then the spells started. They were relatively light spells, things they taught all good little Hogwarts students, then slowly they became more dark and more complex. Each equally challenged so far, then Anie totally threw Ginny for a loop when she shouted, "AVIS!" (Avis-The charm creates a flock of birds which pour forth from the caster's wand.) Not expecting this Ginny's eyes flew open and she ducked out of the way from the birds, which gave Anie her opening, "Expelliarmus!" Ginny's wand flew to Anie's hand.
A/N: For those of you who read the first cut of this story, I couldn't change the ending I think its really funny. I hope you all enjoy this rewrite, I have an idea about the next chapter, and I'm going to explain Anie's reasons there. Ginny has a lot of unknown powers, that no one knows, especially me!
Review Please!
