Harry, Ron, Tashia and Amera were sitting in the common room, catching up with all the stuff that they had been missing. Hermione was at Arithmancy, and luckily she was.
"Wow Harry, that's a lot of pressure for a sixth year, I hope you don't burn out!" Amera joked.
Harry told them about the sessions he'd been having with Dumbledore, and Ron filled them in with the Lavender ordeal. Tashia and Amera both shook their heads.
"You imbecile Ron." Tashia laughed.
"I think you need to buy that book Magical Love - No Spells attached." Amera joked again.
Harry laughed at them all, but he could see something was bothering Amera.
"Or you could give him some of that first class Felix you made." Harry joked along with them.
Amera smiled, but she didn't laugh. Harry saw immediately that something happened in Potions that was bothering her. Ron and Tashia stopped laughing when they saw Amera's face.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Harry asked, scooting next to Amera.
"I think I'm going crazy." Amera said shortly, Harry laughed but asked again.
"No seriously, what happened in Potions today?" Harry asked again.
"I…it was all so strange. Tash and I were late, and we forgot to brush our hair and teeth. I told her I'd fix it later, and then miraculously it happened by itself. Then Slughorn stepped up to my desk, and I didn't have any ingredients, then they were all on my desk. And then I brewed one of the best liquid luck potions Slughorn has supposedly ever seen."
"Yeah, you're having a great day, what's the problem?" Harry said.
Amera shot Tashia a look, and then Tashia's eyes went wider than humanly possible. Harry watched Amera and Tashia's face almost light up.
"Hey, what did you two do?" Ron said, also picking up on their expressions.
"Harry, do you know where Dumbledore's office is? I think I…we…need to go talk to him.
"Sure, I hope he's there."
Harry led them to Dumbledore's office, and went through all the possible candies he could think of for the password.
"Sugar spiders!" Harry said one last time in frustration.
The statue started moving and then the gargoyle met them at the bottom. Harry pushed them onto the steps and then they went up to the top. Dumbledore's office doors were open, and he was sitting behind his desk, with a slight smile on his face, like he was expecting them.
"Amera…Tashia, please come sit."
Amera and Tashia smiled and did as they were told. Harry and Ron stood at the door, awaiting an invitation.
"May they listen in on our conversation?" Dumbledore asked the girls, referring to Harry and Ron.
Amera didn't know how deep this conversation was going to go, but she felt comfortable enough around them and agreed for them to listen in. She nodded, and watched them take seats behind them.
"Sir…" Amera started, but he silenced her with his hand.
"I presume that this is about the letter that Aurora sent you?"
"Yes sir, and the…" Tashia started.
"Potions. Yes. I'm amazed it got past Filch since he's been checking the post. I presume Aurora told you everything?"
They nodded, and Dumbledore looked down at his desk, and at his blackened hand. He looked at the two girls in front of him. They were so young when they were cursed, they were never blessed with the wonderful gifts they were supposed to get, and now they were dropped into it, with the full blown force of power instead of graduating into them. He stood up and looked out of the window, contemplating the situation.
"Harry…Ron, please may we have the rest of the meeting alone? You may go back to your common room for the time being."
Harry and Ron looked at each other and obeyed. The stood silently and left. Dumbledore still stood facing the window, thinking over what to say.
"Sir?"
Dumbledore turned slightly and saw Amera about to get out of her chair. He waved her down and he sat back down at her desk.
"That night was…devastating…your father had powers just like yours Amera, got him in some trouble at times too. I had so hoped to see him teach you all the wonders of your gift. I was so thankful that your mother was not there, I would've hated to see you grow up as orphans…" Dumbledore stopped, thinking of the last orphan with such extraordinary powers.
"Aurora has been working on those potions for almost a month now. I'm glad to see they worked. She always was a whiz at potions."
Amera and Tashia looked at each other and nodded.
"Sir, what is it exactly that we can do?" Tashia asked.
"Well I thought Amera's was apparent. She is known as a Primer. She can cast magic, the most powerful, wordless, wandless magic. All types of magic, in many ways her power is exciting and dangerous. There is no law about her brand of magic, and so it is exclusively her own sense of right and wrong that keeps her from performing magic all the time. Now Tashia, I'm sure yours is from your mother's side. It got her into a lot of trouble as well. She was a Multimorphmagus. In many ways it is the same as a Metamorphmagus, but you can also turn into creatures, objects, anything you can think of. There are only three Multimorphmagi recoded, and I'm obligated to inform the ministry of the new found statuses of your powers."
Amera and Tashia looked at each other and smiled broadly, they weren't worried about being put on a register of unique powers, they just wanted to try them out.
