(A/N) Okay, so after one year of being on this site, I finally figured out how to check the story stats to see how many people are reading this story. Don't laugh at me! I didn't even know you could check that until some people mentioned it to me! So, I was thrilled with how many people were actually reading this story! (Also I still don't completely understand what the difference is between stats and hits. Anybody know? Okay, another message I have, is that I need a beta. Does anyone who reads this beta? Or know where I can find. OMG when I say beta I feel like I'm talking about my dead fish. Never mind that's kinda morbid isn't it? Anyyyway, if you guys have any ideas for the story please tell me! I love the opportunity to add new things to a story. And you guys are the readers so you should have a say in what goes into the story! Now if you're like me, you skipped over this entire authors note, so , forgetting that, ON WITH THE STORY!

Chapter 5
These two just kept surprising the entire group. When they had walked into the room, it wasn't what it looked like from the outside. It was a room the size of a school gymnasium! Including all of the padding around all of the walls except for one. On this wall, there was an assortment of weapons that most of them couldn't name. The floor was mostly padded as well. Extending to the farther end of the room, where there was a bleacher pressed against the wall. And sitting on the top was,
"Minnie!" Joey shouted across the room. "What are you doing in here?" She didn't sound upset, just curious.
"You must forgives Minnie for saying so Joey, but there is no possibility yous wouldn't ask one of thems to fight you." Minnie answered, hopping down from the bleachers and walking over with a smile on her face. "As pig- headed as yous are."
"Not being very nice are we?" Joey asked sarcastically as she pulled her hair into a ponytail that she had on her wrist. "Hold this for me, will you?" She asked, handing Minnie her wand.
Bill looked shocked. "I thought this was a duel." He said. He wouldn't fight her without a wand, there was a serious chance that she could get hurt!
"I said I could beat you without my wand. I never said you didn't get to use yours." She said, striding towards the wall of weapons and standing around 10 feet in front of it. She was obviously expecting Bill to take his place opposite her.
When Bill looked uncertain, Danny stepped forward. "You wouldn't even be able to touch her, trust me on that."
Bill seemed to take that offensively, as Danny had known he would, and stepped to his place opposite Joey, who smiled. "Bring it on curse-breaker!" She shouted across the room. Danny shouted for them to start from the seat she and the others had taken on the bleachers.
Immediately, Bill shot a stunner straight at her. She spun on one heel out of the way, where it hit the wall behind her. A large dent could be seen from even where he was standing. Every person in the room except Danny and Minnie. The two of them smirked at the looks on everybody' s faces. Bill quickly snapped out of his trance and sent the immobulus charm at her and she ducked on it, but he missed the fact that she had taken a small step forward. He sent spells, charms, and jinxes at her but he could never hit her. After flips, somersaults and ducking around every spell that he threw at her, she was suddenly standing in front of him. With a kind and yet somehow teasing smile, she hit him on the right arm near his bicep and he dropped his wand. She grabbed his arm quickly as a snake going for its prey and flipped him over her back, finishing the match with her high heel planted on his chest.
Bill stared up at her in shock, unable to tear his eyes away from her, while Mrs. Weasley rushed over and started to check if he was alright. "I'm fine mum, I just, oh wait" He started and stared at his arm in shock. "I can't feel my arm!" He shouted
"The feeling in your arm will come back in a little while, probably about 15 minutes." Danny said quickly, as it seemed Joey was keen on letting them freak out for a little while. "One- thirty six, Joey. A new record." Joey smiled like she was immensely proud of herself and then removed her heel from Bill's chest.
"Nice match!" She said brightly, reaching around Mrs. Weasley to pull Bill off of the floor. When he was standing he was still looking at her in reverence.
"Where did you learn how to fight so well!" He asked, "And without a wand! That was amazing!"
Her smile turned slightly forced now, "I've been learning this kind of stuff for a while now." Danny shook her head discreetly, and though it was missed by many, Hermione was the one person to catch it. Joey's smile returned quickly and she started talking like nothing was on her mind once again. "So who wants to try beating me?" Fred and George both eagerly raised their hands, looking like excited five year olds.
"Oh, how about we make this more interesting!" Joey smiled, "twins v.s. twins?" She asked the two of them.
"We would be honored." Fred and George bowed low, Fred saying this loudly so that it echoed throughout the room.
"Shall we take the side of our failed brother?" George asked with a mocking smile at Bill, he gestured to the side of the room that Bill had started at.
"Absolutely!" Joey said happily. Then she turned to Danny, who gave her a disapproving look. "Pleeeeeaasssseee Danny!"
Danny started quickly muttering things under her breath to Joey. It took all of them a moment to realize that she was talking in a different language. "Non devreste spingere questa Joey, lo sai che il suo passato molto tempo da quando l'ultimo," But Joey cut her off quickly.
"Lo non sto spingendo, e mi sento bene, e non succedera ancora per un po!" Joey said quickly. Then she turned to the Weasleys, Sirius and Remus, who all seemed confused. "Do any of you speak Italian?" She asked them nervously, as if worried that they had understood her and Danny's conversation. When they all shook their heads her smile appeared again. "Excellent, well then, lets get started! You go over there boys! Everybody else, back on the stands!" She grabbed Danny by the elbow and led her towards the opposite side of the room while everybody went to where they were told. "Minnie, if you would?"
Minnie stood up and announced the match started. Fred and George attacked first, but the two girls waited, sizing up their opponents. Neither of them had wands for this match as well, so they had to be careful. Suddenly, George sent a spell straight at Joey, and it would have hit her, had she not hit the floor first. She curled herself into a ball and everybody immediately knew that something was wrong. After spending half a second curled in a ball on the floor, she screamed louder than anything they had ever heard. A bloodcurdling shriek that bounced off the walls of the training room and came back to echo in their ears.
Danny was at Joey's side in an instant. Her face took on a look of determination that they had all seen on Harry's face at one time or another. She flipped Joey out of her ball and layed her on her back, where they all saw a blood stain blossoming through her shirt.
