A/N; I am going to have some fun for next few chapter concerning Clair, and what happen at the end of this chapter will be a preview of what to come.
Also I don't own Harry Potter and please review.
January??
Grimmauld Pl Kitchen
On the morning before the students return to school, a brown hair young Witch walked into the room. "Mrs. Weasley did anyone see where Clair or Harry around?" Hermione wondered as she saw the elder Witch making breakfast.
"I'm sorry dear, but I heard Albus wanted Clair at the school before everyone gets there." Molly politely informed a startled teen.
"Oh I wish Clair warned us before she left." Hermione argued as she left the room to check with her other friends.
Ginny's Room
A lone red hair Witch just finished packing as her older friend rushed in. "Oh you are still here, Clair didn't leave because of an emergency." Hermione quickly suggested as she spotted her younger friend.
"Good morning to you Hermione, but why do you think I had left?" Ginny wondered as her friend sat on the bed.
"It appears Clair left for school already, its no wonder she wanted us to take our personal things out of her tent last night." Hermione grumbled as her friend closed her eyes as she remembered something.
"So Clair is going to do it." Ginny whispered as her friend turned on her.
"Ginny do you know why Clair left for school early?" Hermione quickly asked as her friend shrugged.
"I am not entirely sure Hermione, but when Harry return from his training, the Headmaster suggested a plan to help him, but I think we should wait until we get back to school to see if Harry had accepted it." Ginny suggested as her friend narrowed her eyes.
"But Ginny what this plan and can we help?" Hermione quickly wondered as her friend shook her head.
"I doubt we can do anything other then being there for Harry, since if he did accept the Headmaster's plan, he will need our full support." Ginny warned as her friend sighed.
"Ginny you know I will always support Harry, so whatever this plan is, I will do what I can to help." Hermione gently assured her friend.
"Thanks Hermione, I'm glad you are his friend." Ginny smiled as she thought of something she kept secret. "Oh I can't hold this back Hermione, I need to tell you Harry asked me to be his Girlfriend when he came back." Ginny quickly informed a smiling friend.
"Wow that is great news, so I am guessing you don't mind his feminine side?" Hermione grinned, as did her friend.
"Why would I mind, doesn't every girl like to experiment every now and then." Ginny blushed as did her friend.
"So then tell me, how does it feel like kissing another girl?" Hermione quickly asked and her friend smiled as she did.
Hogwarts/Great Hall
Dinner was a noisy affair as students who left for the Holidays reunited with friends, which were until the Headmaster stood up. "I'm glad to see everyone in a good mood, but I fear I got some news concerning one of your peers." Dumbledore calmly warned as the room went silent. "It appears Harry Potter will not be joining us for unknown amount of time, since he had been accepted in a special Magical Training Camp, which will train him to go against the Dark Lord known as Voldemort." Dumbledore stopped as a wave of shivers struck most of the student body, but continued a few seconds later. "Now I know Mr. Potter will not only be missed greatly by his friends, I know he will miss by us Professors." Dumbledore stopped as he glanced at his deputy-Headmistress, whom was not too happy with losing one of her own students. "I am sure Mr. Potter will be back with us soon, and will grace us with what he had learnt while he was away." Dumbledore again stopped as he looked to a number of anxious looking friends. "Now that is said, I do have another announcement concerning my Apprentice." Dumbledore calmly informed his capture audience. "Since the beginning of this year I been trying to have Ms. Lakeshore take classes here in Hogwarts, and it seems I finally convinced her to do so." Dumbledore smiled as a messy hair Witch stepped into the room. "Apprentice Lakeshore was sorted into Gryffindor, and will be joining the Fifth Year students." Dumbledore smiled as his Apprentice sat beside him. "And since Ms. Lakeshore is my Apprentice she will be having her own private rooms, but I will allow her to sleep in the Dorms if one of her friends invites her." Dumbledore grinned, as his Apprentice did not look well at the thought. "Now that said, let's eat." Dumbledore called out and immediately food appeared on the tables.
As soon as dinner was over, two smiling Witches quickly walked over to the Head Table, and stood before their Headmaster. "Headmaster can Clair spend the night in our dorms?" Hermione grinned, as did her Headmaster.
"Of course Ms. Granger, but please don't spend all night making my Apprentice look pretty." Dumbledore grinned as his panicky Apprentice tried to make a break for it, but cut down by some spells, which both tied her up and silenced her.
"Oh don't worry Headmaster we will take real good care of your Apprentice." Ginny smiled as they dragged her unwilling friend out of the room.
With the Apprentice gone, the stern looking professor smiled. "Strange I never met a Witch whom would hate having Girls Night Out." McGonagall suggested as her Headmaster shrugged.
"I'm afraid Ms. Lakeshore is still in her Tomboy stage, but with luck, I'm sure Mses. Granger and Weasley will help her bloom out of that stage." Dumbledore smiled as he started talking about other teaching maters.
