Glad to know I surprised you!

Just to clear things up:

In the first chapter, she was talking to Harry, NOT Phobos. I dont do Will/Phobos. It's creepy.

Anyway, onto the next chapter.

By the way, I hate this chapter, but it had too be put in.

oooooooooooooo

Chapter 4

From the Beginning

Will bowed her head into her hands. "What do we do?"

Harry stopped pacing for a moment. "If I knew, I would tell you."

They were back in the common room after a very long chat with Hermione that had given them precious few answers.

"I hate the idea of just sitting here waiting for something to happen." Will said, looking up at him.

Harry sighed. "Well, what else are we going to do?"

Will shrugged. "We show up fifteen years into the future, and all she can say is 'wait and see what happens!'"

"It's Hermione," Harry said. "And as much as I hate to admit it she's probably right."

Will gritted her teeth. "I know, it's just...well, this is not the way I'm used to doing things. I'm usually in charge, for the most part. Waiting for other people to do something? It's just hard for me to do."

"Well, let's go do something then," Harry suggested.

"Like what?"

He checked his watch. "It's only 3:15. You said you wanted me to help you with some spells. We could do that."

Will agreed, having no idea what else to do.

They found an empty classroom and set to work.

"Where do you want to start?" Harry asked.

And how can you learn what's never shown?

"Erm..." Will gave him a sheepish smile. "I can't really do...er...any of it."

"Oh. So we'll start from the beginning," Harry said.

"Well, scratch that, it's not magic I don't get. I just don't understand this particular way of doing it."

"Okay," Harry said. "Explain."

"What's something you would use magic to do?"

Harry looked around. "Levitate your book."

Will nodded. "Show me how you would do it."

He pulled out his wand. "Wingardium Leviosa."

The book jumped into the air, and he let it back down.

"Well, I would do it like this." Will took a breath. "Air."

She waved her fingers at the book and up it rose on a wisp of silvery magic.

She let the book down and turned to Harry. "I think the problem is the way it's done. My magic deals in the five elements. I use the powers of water, fire, air, and energy."

"You said five elements," Harry interrupted. "You only named four."

"Earth is one," Will answered. "But I don't use earth. Ever."

"Why?"

Yeah, you stand here on your own.

"No reason. Anyway, I use ideas to do things. If I want to levitate a book, I think about air moving the book and it does."

"Er, ok" Harry said, somewhat confused.

Will continued. "You, on the other hand, have to know exactly what you want to happen, and you have to channel the magic through a spell."

"Alright," Harry said. "But what does that mean for you?"

She shrugged. "I have to change the way I think about things, I suppose."

"Then let's just try something simple." Harry suggested. "You stand over there. I'll hold the book and you try to summon it. The spell is Accio."

"Okay," Will answered, "but be prepared. Anything can happen here."

She walked across the room and pulled out her wand.

Harry counted down. "Three, two, one, go."

"Accio book!"

As Will expected, things didn't gp right.

She was thrown across the room right into Harry, knocking him down.

She landed sprawled out atop him, face on his collarbone.

"Ow," she whispered.

Harry rolled his neck around, popping it back into place. "You okay?"

Will blinked hard, then raised herself up on her arms. "Yeah, I think so. You?"

"I'm fine."

She blushed deep red. "Sorry about that."

He shrugged. "It's okay. Anyway, everything happens for a reason."

"A reason?" She almost laughed. "What would the reason for this be?"

He grinned. "Well, personally, I think it's so I could do this."

They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

And with that, he leaned up and kissed her.

Will was so surprised, it took her a moment to react, but his kiss was cut short.

There was the sound of a door opening and suddenly an embarrassed voice. "Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt anything."

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

So how was it?

Not my favorite chapter, but it'll do.
