Harry was practising dodging spells while Ginny and Luna were shooting spells. Harry, Luna and Ginny all tried to put their best leg forward, but somehow neither dodging or hitting seemed to distract them from the events that were happening right now outside the castle of Pacific Academy.
One of the unicorns that was pregnant had gone into labour, but it was a few weeks to early. Normally, after eighteen months of carrying a foal, A unicorn mare will find a quiet spot where she will birth her foal. Harry had read this in one of his books about magical creatures, but had found out that Unicorns carry a foal to eighteen months before giving birth.

Vivian, the Unicorn in question stood apart from the others in stable three. Moving around the stable, Vivian tried to give birth to her foal, even while the foal was not ready. Harry, Luna and the recent arriving Ginny had been ordered inside by both Rowena and Alexandra, as a complicated birth with Unicorns was dangerous enough, without a human male in the vicinity. So to keep them busy, Caradoc Samual had taken some time to teach Harry some advanced dodging tricks while teaching Luna and Ginny some advanced spells for Harry to dodge.

Harry stopped dodging as the girls lowered their wands. "This is pointless"Said Harry as he looked at Caradoc. The professor smiled, knowing what Harry was meaning. "I know Harry, and I would love to do nothing less than sitting there with Vivian and lending my magical energy to aid her in this difficult time, but you know what they say about unicorns."
Harry nodded, remembering well the passage in his care of magical creatures book. 'Unicorns do tend to have a female touch, especially female virgins can get close to a Unicorn.'
"Professor, what does make a unicorn to give birth early?" Asked Luna without her normal, dreamy voice.

"There are different things that can make a Unicorn give birth early, and some can lead to a miscarriage. One of the reasons could be a shift of power within the herd. Or it could be something that she has been eating around here. Some plants here are quite poisonous." Said professor Samual as Alex Summers entered.
"Miss Weasley, since you have retreated to Pacific Academy in protection of your mothers intention to have you re-programmed, we need a pensieve memory to verify the event. So please place the memory of the meeting at the front of your mind so I can retrieve it."
Ginny nodded and as Alex removed his wand from her temple, a fine thread of silvery mist stuck to it. Alex placed the memory in a vial and closed it. "Thank you, Miss Weasley." Said Alex as he placed the vial in his pocket and left.

As Ginny and Luna were again starting to fire hexes and jinxes at Harry to dodge, Alex walked past a disillusioned figure and turned around. "Hope I'm not disturbing?" Alex asked.
"No, it's just that I wish that I could treat Harry to something special, like a fun day out. But every time I try to get some time alone with him, It's either Ginny, or Luna or Hermione who disturbs our time together." Said the figure as he removed the disillusionment charm. "I just get the feeling that I don't matter anymore" said Sirius as he looked at Alex.

Alex nodded. Even when Harry and Sirius were together, their time was short as it was one of the girls who interrupted them. "I've seen it, when you and Harry want to have a good time, one of the girls drags Harry away, leaving you alone." Said Alex. Suddenly Alex laughed and took Sirius to an office on the third floor. "Gabriella, are you up, my dear?" Asked Alex in a sing song voice.
Sirius looked around in the room, where he could see a medium sized desk standing, with on top of it a large bowl that was easily the size of Dumbledore's pensieve. It was filled with a kind of liquid, that seemed to have a reddish colour. Sirius couldn't see it very well as the whole room was covered in the dark. From behind him, Sirius felt something moving and ducked just in time, as a bat flew from above and landed behind the desk before it returned to the form of Gabriella Unguis.

"I am now" Said Gabriella as she picked up a glass and filled it with the reddish liquid. "What do you want, Alex?" She asked after she had drained her glass of the fluid. "Ah Gabriella, how well do you know me. I would like to ask you for permission for both Harry Potter and his godfather, Sirius Black to leave the school for a few days as they need some bonding time" Alex looked at the deputy headmistress for a long time, while Sirius looked at Alex with a newfound respect.
"Very well, I give you permission to Sirius Black and Harry Potter to leave the school for four days. Be sure that both Harry Potter and mister Black are well prepared for their trip. Dismissed." Both Sirius and Alex left Gabriella's office, and before long they found Harry, Ginny and Luna.

"Hello Harry, Girls. Do you mind if I take Harry away for a moment?" Asked Sirius. Not waiting for an answer, Harry was pulled away from the two girls who were held back by Alex. "Harry, I know that you prefer to remain with the girls, but I really want some time together, to get to know each other. Gabriella has agreed to let you and me out of the castle for a four days. I'd like to visit your parents house in Britain, or their vacation hideaway here in the states" Said Sirius. Harry looked at Sirius face. He could see hope in it, hoping that Harry would go with his godfather.
"I prefer the vacation hideaway then" Said Harry as he looked Sirius in the eyes.

Before Harry knew it, he was grabbed by Sirius and jumped up and down. "Oh Harry, This is going to be so awesome. We'll have so much to do. Come on, let's pack right away so we can leave" Shouted Sirius as he dragged Harry away to his room to pack.
"Why are they going, and why can't we go to?" asked Luna as she and Ginny watched Sirius drag Harry away. "Is it because we take all his time?" Asked Ginny as she looked at the doors where Sirius and Harry vanished into.

"It's a bit about that. You have noticed that whenever Sirius wants some alone time with Harry, one of you three jumps in and takes Harry away from his godfather. Sirius wants some time alone with Harry, without you three circling around him and Harry like the moon circles the planet" said Alex as she took the two girls and led them in the great hall.

There was no duelling tournament this year as the Quidditch world cup was playing and there were a lot of duellers who wanted to see the finals in Britain, so they canceled the tournament this year. Alex was glad that it was cancelled, because he could now train Ginny and Luna in their special powers. While Ginny was getting better control over her powers, she still had a long way to go before she was considered 'safe'. Luna had almost no control and with help from Alan Richards, Evelyn and Dora Vector, Alex was able to remove the blockade that blocked Luna's powers. Now Luna had to work extra hard to control her dimensional powers, if she wanted to come to the finals of the world cup. The great hall was different from the other times. Instead of many tables, there was only one table for the staff and students to sit at. The rest of the hall was covered in a stony layer. "Ginny. I want you to try and make your fire so hot that you can melt this boulder" said Alex as the janitor, Carlos Palola levitated the boulder.

Ginny nodded and as Carlos placed the boulder on the floor before he headed out. Ginny watched the retreating man. He seemed nice enough but there was something off with him. "Don't worry Ginny. Carlos was never a people person. He prefers to work with the house elves." Said Alex as he stood next to her. "I understand" Said Ginny as she looked at the boulder that Carlos had brought in. Taking a deep breath, Ginny ignited her hands, and fire was moving around in her small hands. Pushing her hands towards the boulder, Ginny created a respectable stream of fire for about three seconds before it died down. "Come on Ginny, you can do it." Said Alex as he was coaching Luna to use her powers. Ginny nodded and focused again before she let loose a giant flaming attack on the boulder. From her hands Ginny produced a massive flame, that normally would burn a human being to a crisp. The boulder just stood there, mocking Ginny. Ginny refocused again and attacked the boulder with everything she had.

So the days passed, Ginny and Luna would work on their powers, and while Ginny would make good progress to make the flames ans big or as small as she wanted, Ginny still couldn't control the direction of the flames. Meaning that her flames produced massive damage to the environment.
Luna's training was also hard. The young girl could create portals to the sub-dimentions at will now, giving Rowena who joined the class a chance to see some special creatures. Luna learned via Alex that she could create two portals that were connected with each other. So if someone, let's say Rowena would shoot ac spell at the portal, Luna could choose where the sister portal would appear. Luna's dual portals were very effective against stunners, reducto's and other spells that could harm her. In a friendly duel with Professor Remus Lupin, Luna was able to use the most of the professors own spells against him, having to fire her own wand only a few times.

Of course, Ginny and Luna also heard that the unicorn Vivian had given birth to a stillborn foal. For hours, Vivian tried to 'wake' her foal up, before she raised her head to the sky and silently cried. Vivian was not the only one of the herd of Unicorns to cry, as the whole herd mourned the passing of a foal, to young to know the real world. Vivian was now back in the herd, and while Ginny and Luna could see her, both girls knew that she still missed the foal. However, sometimes Ginny would feel a slight temperature change, as if something cold passed through her. 'Maybe it's the ghost of the dead foal' thought Ginny as she was heating the boulder.

Today was the day. Harry would return back to Pacific, and both girls couldn't wait to see him again. The moment that Harry's and Sirius's port-key brought them to the doors of Pacific, Ginny and Luna shot out of the doors and started to hug him. While he was away with Sirius, Harry had promised not to use his bond with Luna, Ginny and Hermione. Hermione could understand that, she was afterall with her parents. Ginny and Luna didn't understand it at all. Why didn't Harry want to talk with them?
Harry explained to his girls that he promised Sirius not to use his bond. But that only made the two witches angry. They had the feeling that Sirius was stealing Harry from him. Weren't they bonded with each other? Weren't they connected to the very soul?

"I find it hard to believe that you two girls would be angry at me." said Sirius as he looked at the two girls. Both Luna and Ginny looked up from Harry who was on the ground, being hugged and beaten in equal measures. "If someone is to be blamed, it would be your Deputy Headmistress, who gave Harry and me permission to leave Pacific." Said Sirius. "Oh. And don't forget Alex." he said as an after thought.
Both Girls paled. Alex Summers had been with them the entire time, and it was him who had kept them busy for the last few days.
"It was a test, to see if you could be without each other" said Alex as he stepped outside. Both girls quickly moved away from Harry and looked at the professor with fear and anger in their eyes.

"The test was to see if you could work on things when Harry wasn't there" Said Alexandra as she stepped outside to. "How many of you were involved?" Asked Ginny as Sirius helped Harry from the floor. "In total, there was Sirius, Alexandra, Alan and me. Four in total" Said Alex as she handed a envelope to Luna. She took it and started to read.

"Dear Harry, Luna and Ginny.

My friends. How I love those words, that you are 'MY FRIENDS'. I've been telling my father and mother all about you, and they would love to meet you and see how we work together as a team. I have been reading in this piece of rubbish that they call here a 'proper newspaper'. Thanks to this newspaper called 'The Daily Prophet' I've been 'kept up to date' with the going ons in the British magical world. There seems to be some activity at Hogwarts coming year and something about an ancient tournament being brought back to life. I'll bring the newspaper with me when I'll see you at the Quidditch world cup"

All my love, Hermione Granger.

"Well, she's been having a good time" Said Luna as she tapped te letter with her wand and muttered "Forever Together." The writing shifted, making other words. Luna again read the letter aloud. "

My friends.

Be careful. My parents have told me that several people who are wearing old style robes are patrolling the neighborhood. I've seen some of them and they look like Aurors. Either they are looking for the escaped Pettigrew or they are looking for me. I haven't left my parents house. But please, sent an elf to pop me and my parents out of here.

Hermione"

P.S. Bowling balls are painful on feet."

"Well, that sounds like Hermione alright" Said Harry as Luna looked at both him and Ginny, remembering the story that Hermione told them about her fourth birthday and how she dropped a bowling ball on her mothers feet
"Should we get her here with her parents?" Asked Ginny to Alex as he and his sister had listened to the letter. "might as well." Said Alex as his sister nodded. "Very well." Said Harry before he called his house elf "Dobby." A pop beside Harry made him jump slightly to the left, away from the overly excited house elf. "Dobby's here master. What can Dobby do for great master Potter?" Asked Dobby in his broken english speech.

"Hello Dobby. Could you go to Hermione Granger and collect her and her parents?" Asked Harry. Dobby nodded very fast, making sure that Harry could hear his batlike ears flapping. With a poop, Dobby was gone.
"Maybe I shouldn't have tricked Lucius into releasing that little house elf" said Sirius, as Harry was looking at him with anger in his face. "Oh well, now's to late."

In one of the first moved against Lucius Malfoy, Sirius Black demanded his place back as governor of Hogwarts. That seat had been placed in Narcissa Malfoy-Black's guardianship after Sirius was sent to prison. The moment that Lucius knew about the empty seat, he demanded it from Narcissa, who gave it up as she didn't knew much about the governor seats. Lucius used it to make changes at Hogwarts, and while Sirius now held the seat again, Lucius still tried to change things around Hogwarts.
Sirius was not amused and threatened to have his marriage with Narcissa annulled, and take everything from him, if Lucius didn't behave. As a 'sign of good faith' Lucius dismisse dhsi house elf Dobby and gave him to Sirius. Sirius then gave Dobby to his godson Harry, who used Dobby to do the cleaning in his room at Pacific.

A pop was heard and before them all stood Hermione Granger, with her parents and most surprisingly, Dora Tonks.
"What are you doing here Dora?"Asked Harry after Hermione had given Harry, Luna and Ginny very big and long hug.
Dora smiled slightly. Her hair was not it's usual pink, but a chestnut-brown. "I bring bad news. Dumbledore has succeeded to resurrect the Tri-Wizard Tournament, and both Durmstrang and Beauxbatons have agreed to participate."
"Well, I won't be to worried about that, as Harry cannot be summoned by the old fool" Said Alexandra, as she re-assured the students. "He's not strong enough to do that."
She turned away, never imagining that she would have to eat her words later in the year.

What a Pain in the lower region to write this chapter.
Don't worry though. We'll go to the Quidditch world cup next chapter.
