A few hours later

Standing a bit away from Daciana I watch as she keeps practicing with connecting with magic before I feel someone join me.

"She seems determined to connect with magic, reminds of another student you took under your protection" Dumbledore says.

"She feels like she has to prove her worth" I answer frowning.

"And you know the feeling?"

"Yes, first year with no friends and feeling like everyone is against you because you're not a pure blood" I whisper.

"She managed it and ended up coming here and changing the lives of many giving them a better life if I remember correctly but I'm an old man who's mind isn't what it use to be"

Scoffing I glance at him "your mind is just as sharp and quick but you play like a senile meddling old man" I snark.

Not hearing anything from him I sigh shaking my head "why did you support and help me sir, I cant understand it?" I finally ask.

"Hogwarts will always offer help you need only ask"

"Sir, be honest with me no riddles" I say turning to look at him.

"I met a young lady once she came from the oldest wizarding family with a reputation for darkness and madness, she rejected the choices the hat was debating on because she saw one student alone and sad, she took on a beast anyone with self preservation would run from, befriended a lonely young man helping him succeed, she fought for everyone's freedom in a war and demanded to be heard, she was willing to singlehandedly take on the world for what she believed in"

Swallowing I look at him waiting for him to finish "I still believe her to be mad but she is also brilliant, she saved an old man from his own jaded views, reconnected him with his family and even when she took a plan to the extreme without proper planning, she was trying to protect others. I have no doubt she would have taken the school if she had to and slowly took the world to fix what is broken, but in her I seen a fire I seen in a young man before he was lost to his madness".

"Sir?" I ask.

"I helped because I seen what you could do, and for someone to send you back things must have gone completely wrong"

Nodding I clear my throat turning to watch Daciana "someone was in my true magic class, hidden in the forest and following the lesson Sir, I felt their magic flicker and they were frustrated".

"Should we be concerned?" He asks frowning.

"No they are either young or squib I'm thinking squib since most people are terrified of the forest"

"Maybe Nagini should come up and complete a check on the students to see if anyone needs help" he says.

"It may be a good idea" I answer.

1991 Halloween

Hearing crying I sigh slipping into the perfects bathroom and lean on the wall "Ms. Granger?" I ask.

"Yes Professor Aquila?" She responds trying to sound fine.

"You know not everyday will be like this, and there's plenty of people that admire you for your intelligence"

"No the other students hate me because I'm so smart and the professors only like me because I remind them of a past student"

"Oh and who would that be?" I ask.

"I don't know they never say who but it's like they expect me to be like her but I'm not her"

Humming I cross my arms twirling my wand "maybe you remind them of her because you are similar in a way, by being driven and intelligent they know someday you will do great things" I offer.

Hearing the door open I see her come out moving to the sink washing her face she opens her mouth to speak, till we hear two boys screaming about accidently letting a troll in then a rumbling step "damn it" I hiss pushing Hermione behind me while turning to face the door.

Seeing Potter and Weasley rush past I sigh shaking my head "bloody teaspoon" I grumble pulling my wand as the troll steps in.

Waving my wand I cast a Bombardo at the ceiling causing a large chunk to fall on its head, I sigh seeing it fall backwards.

Hearing the professors come running in I sigh looking at Severus "get Potter and Weasley, they ran past yelling about accidently letting the troll in".

He nods turning to rush off as I look at Dumbledore "they're minds are the size of teaspoons and they share a single brain cell" I hiss.

"Move your asses so I can get Romeo out" I bark making the troll float and follow me out.

"Why call him Romeo?" Hermione asks following me.

"Because I seen in his mind, he thought he seen a female troll come in and was trying to find her" I grumble "back inside I need to return him to the mountains" I order grabbing a broom.
