A/N; To tell you the truth thanks to the cold, I almost forgot about Harry's return to see Lakeshore, and I had to reread this part of the original story to see what I need to change.

Also about the Prophecy concerning the Demons and the Sprits, since this story will not have the demons, I alter the reason for the Sprits reason to help the Wizards.

Also I don't own Harry Potter and please review

Hogwarts/Headmaster's Office

An hour before the departure of the students for the Holidays, a messy hair young Witch sat glaringly at an innocently looking younger Witch. "I wish you stop changing me." Clair grumbled as her smiling Headmaster walked in.

"Good morning Ms. Lakeshore, and Clover, I'm glad you were able to come here before heading to the Hogsmeade Station." Dumbledore smiled as he sat behind his desk. "But since you both are in a hurry, I better start the reason I called you here." Dumbledore sighed as he looked to the older Witch. "Ms. Lakeshore do you know how long your training will take?" Dumbledore wondered as his student shrugged.

"I really don't know Headmaster, during the summer training I spent the whole four weeks under Lakeshore Training plans, so I am guessing I might not be seen maybe a day or so before the Holiday is over." Clair uncertainly guessed as her Familiar spoke up.

"Actually I think there is a way to speed up your Training sis, but I think it would be best if Lakeshore decide to use one of her special abilities or not." Clover thoughtfully informed everyone, and the Headmaster turn to her.

"Clover care to share on these abilities Lakeshore has?" Dumbledore wondered as the little Witch shook her head.

"I'm sorry Uncle Albus I can't tell you since I don't know how I know that information." Clover shyly apologized as the elder Wizard nodded.

"I guess I will accept this for now, but Ms. Lakeshore please be careful, I would hate to lose you both." Dumbledore kindly warned as the two Witches nodded.

"We will be careful Headmaster, and do tell everyone we are sorry for not coming to Grimmauld Pl. before leaving for my Training, since I am sure Lakeshore would want me to return to her as soon as I am free." Clair worriedly informed her understanding Headmaster.

"I will pass the message Ms. Lakeshore, but a warning, you might have a very irate Molly Weasley waiting for your return." Dumbledore smiled as the two Witches shivered.

"Thanks for the warning." Clair gulped, and with that said her Headmaster dismissed them.

Platform 9 ¾

The train ride was uneventful, except for the yearly tradition of a certain Blond visits, which was short-lived when he was screaming as small fires erupted on his clothes.

Once at the Platform, the friends were greeted by their families, but their happy reunion ended as the elder red hair Witch looked to a certain messy hair Wizard. "Harry would you consider coming to Grimmauld pl. to stay for the Christmas Holidays." Molly pleaded as her surrogate son shook his head.

"I'm sorry Mrs. Weasley, I made a promise to my Mentor, and so I must leave now." Harry quickly apologized as the older Witch nodded as she walked to him and gave him a hug.

"Then please be careful, and hurry back home will you." Molly sadly suggested as she let the young Wizard go.

"I promise Mrs. Weasley, I will return once my Mentor believes I had enough training." Harry assured the red hair Witch, and with one last farewell to all of his friends, he disappeared form the Platform.

Forest

In a forest at a hidden crystal lake a teen suddenly appeared looking around. "Home sweet home, I am glad to be back." Harry thought, but shivered as his body changed into a girl. "Clover what did I tell you about changing me without warning me first!" The now Clair angrily asked, but stopped as a six-inch Sprit walked out of the lake before her.

"Ms. Lakeshore, I thank you for coming back to further your training." Lakeshore smiled as she walked before the young Witch.

"I came back as I had promise, but I think I should warn you I had told my friends and Headmaster about my Curse and training." Clair shyly informed her accepting Mentor.

"I am glad you did, and I see you met three other Elementals am I right?" Lakeshore wondered as the young Witch nodded.

"I actually met two other Elementals, but the fourth one is still a Mystery." Clair worriedly informed her Mentor.

"Not to worry the other two Elementals will join you and Ginny when they are ready." Lakeshore assured a slightly relieved Witch. "But now you must be wondering about why there is Elementals about right?" Lakeshore calmly asked as she sat before the young Witch.

"Yeah I had been wondering about that, so care to tell me why?" Clair wondered as she sat before her Mentor.

"Simply the reason we Elemental Sprits have decided to train Wizards in our ways, is because we are destined to help put to the stop of a Dark Age which could destroy the Balance between the Forces of Light and Darkness." Lakeshore warned the wide-eye Witch.

"But why me, I know I took the training offer because of the accident with the rock, there must be more qualify Wizards take up the challenge." Clair suggested as her Mentor shook her head.

"Clair, the accident was not the reason I choose you, since I already knew we were fated to meet that summer." Lakeshore firmly informed a startled teen, but she held out her tiny hand to stop her from saying anything. "The Curse I place on you was not part of my plan to train you, that just what usually happen when someone angers a Sprit." Lakeshore warned as the young Witch shivered.

"I guess I understand for the reason for us Elementals, especially with Tom around." Clair sighed as she looked to her Mentor. "So how long is my Holiday Training?" Clair wondered as her Mentor look lost in her thoughts before speaking.

"Right now since I fear you will need more then a few weeks of training, I think you should stay here for a year, to complete your training." Lakeshore warned as the young Witch looked shocked.

"But I can't stay here for a year, what about my friends and schooling?" Clair shouted as her Mentor quickly spoke up.

"I can place a special Ward on this forest which will cause time to speed up." Lakeshore firmly started as she looked to a startle Witch. "In other words by staying in the Ward for a whole year, only a Week would have passed on the outside." Lakeshore firmly informed as sighing Witch.

"I guess I have to accept this." Clair sighed since she knew she needs all the training she could get before her next encounter with a certain Dark Lord.

"I'm glad you understood Clair, so for now why not get you special tent ready, while I get the Ward set up, and tomorrow I will begin your training." Lakeshore suggested, and the young Witch agreed before standing and got ready her tent.
