Chapter Fifteen: Professor Melaine Stone
"Take your seats and get out your books," a woman said writing on a chalkboard. "I am Professor Melaine Stone, I will be teaching you about the elements. They are not games, or something to be mess with, the elements are serious matter and controlling them take much power. If you are not careful, your element can end up controlling you."
Harry, Hermione and Ginny wrote down what she was saying knowing that it would probably come in handy, Brooke was still at the Hospital Wing recovering from her lost of blood. The teacher walked around the class, Hermione raised her hand to ask a question.
"Yes Ms. Granger?"
"My element is water," Hermione began. "I was wondering if I would always need a pool water to be around to control water."
"Well being able to control water means that you will be able to control the weather also," Professor Melaine explained. "Which means you can create your own water, also you can condense moisture in the air."
"When will we be able to use the elements?" Ginny asked.
"Soon," Professor Stone said. "Right now you just need to know the basics."
As the lesson went on the had more notes to copy into until class the ever had to take. Professor Stone called Harry after the lesson to speak to him privately, Hermione and Ginny continued onto their next class.
"Hello Harry," Professor Stone smiled. "My gosh you look just like your father except--"
"I have my mother eyes," Harry finished her sentence. "I hear that a lot, you knew my parents?"
"You can say that," Professor Stone frowned. "Your parents were incredible, the most wonderful people you can ever meet. They were also the most extrodinary wizards you would every know, James thought me a thing are two when I was younger."
"You look no older then twenty how did you know my father at such a young age?" Harry asked.
"Harry there are secret's that are just to great to be revealed," Professor Stone said nervously. "Dumbledore feels that I shouldn't be telling you this but you have a right to know Harry, there can be no more secret's."
"What are you trying to say?" Harry asked.
"Maybe this will help explain it," Professor Stone sighed. "My full name is Melaine Stone Potter."
"Your lying," Harry said furiously. "Everyone on my father side of the family is dead."
"No Harry!" Professor Stone said. "I am the only living blood relative left on your father's side."
"This is a load of rubbish," Harry grabbed his bookbag and began to leave the classroom.
"Harry wait!"
"Stay away from me!" Harry stormed off.
Harry walked slowly to his next class, 'This can't be true, she can't be my aunt!' Harry thought. 'Why would everyone lie to me and tell me that she was dead? That there was no one left!', Harry began to grow furious. He hadn't been in the mood to go to his next class, he figured since he was near the Hospital Wing he might as well visit Brooke. Harry walked into the Hospital Wing, he saw Brooke laying in bed reading a book, she slowly put it down when she saw Harry and smiled.
"Hey aren't you suppose to be in class?" she asked.
"Didn't really feel like going?"
"Why not?" Brooke asked.
"Our new Professor claims to be my aunt." Harry shrugged.
"That big!" Brooke said surprised. "You think she telling the truth?"
"Honestly, I don't know what to think?"
"Harry this is a shot at getting to know your real family," Brooke said. "I would kill to get to know my family, figuratively speaking."
"I know," Harry clenched his jaw. "But what else have they lied about, how do I know who to trust anymore?"
"Just give it a chance," Brooke said. "It couldn't hurt"
Harry agreed, he left the Hospital Wing and went off to his next class which was Projection, he figured he had that class on his own but he wondered who his teacher was. He desparately wished it wasn't Snape, and he got his wish it wasn't Snape but Lupin. Harry sat in his seat, it was an individual lesson so Hermione and Ginny wouldn't be there.
"Hello Harry," Lupin smiled.
"Hello Professor!" Harry said excited.
"I will be teaching you projection," Lupin saw Harry confused expression. "Projection is something that let a witch or wizard turn people and things into whatever comes to mind."
"That is brilliant!" Harry said.
"There also many other things you can do with it and you have to be extra careful with what you say and the way you say it," Lupin warned him. "Now for pratice, we are going to take this plant and your going to kill it."
"How?"
"Simply say 'Plant die'." Lupin explained.
"Plant die." Harry said.
The plant was still standing strong.
"Nothing happened." Harry crossed his armed.
"You have to put meaning behind it."
Harry nodded his head and took in a deep sigh, "Plant die!"
The plant begins to turn black and the leaves slowly falls off.
"You did it!" Lupin smiled.
Harry collapsed to the floor, he opened his eyes to see Lupin standing over him with chocolate.
"This will help," Lupin handed him the chocolate.
"What happened?" Harry asked eating the chocolate.
"Your beginning to use your power it bound to take a lot of strenght," Lupin said. "Go off to your Common Room and get some rest."
Harry nodded he walked through the hallway, he saw Hermione sitting on a staircase. She looked as if she was deep in thought, Harry sat next to her.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
"Nothing," Hermione replied. "It just that everything is changing, it kind of hard not to end up like Brooke or Colin for that matter."
"Don't think like that Hermione," Harry said. "I can't say nothing going to change, but soon this will all be over. We're going to defeat Voldermort, get rid of all his death eaters and hopefully no one else will get hurt or killed."
"I doubt that," Hermione sighed. "I love you Harry."
"I love you to Mione," Harry kissed her then grabbed her hand. "Let's go."
Hermione smiled as the both left heading off to their Common Room, they didn't notice the were being watched. Professor Stone was at the bottom of the steps listening to their conversation, she walked back to her office. She pulled out a picture of a man with jet black hair and a women with long redish hair smiling holding a baby in their hands.
"Don't worry James I'll take care of him." She held the picture to her chest and smiled.
(A/N: I hoped you enjoyed this chapter, feel free to leave a review. Also I want to add that I model the scene with the Projection lesson after an episode from Charmed so that is also a disclaimer. Thank you for reading!)
BlackDemonAngel- I am going to do your review first because it was your birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I wish you many more to come and hope you enjoyed it. I tried to get a chapter out on your birthday but then I go busy all weekend so I said I would put it up Wednesday then I got three projects and finals test so it was very hard to add a chapter. Sorry! But I started it on your birthday so that have to count something, so I'll just dedicate this chapter to you:)
StunningSpellRocks2345- Most likely I don't think I will kill her but we just have to go on with the story to see what happens, I am also happy that you like her character so much! ;)
Simply Moony Infatuated- I am so sorry for killing Colin, and I am glad you like my story I am so happy when I get new readers cause it tells me I am doing something right.
