Chapter 7

-November 16th-

Hermione and Rose are eating breakfast along with the fellow students when the post arrived and a red envelope was dropped in front of Hermione.

"Looks like the firstie got herself a Howler," an upper year Ravenclaw said as he saw the envelope.

"What's a Howler?" Hermione asked. "I haven't read about those yet."

"Enchanted letters," Rose explained. "British still use them to magically record their voice to show how upset they are to an individual."

"Who'd send one to me," Hermione asked as she examined the letter. It only had her name on it. "My parents don't have magic and they've been keeping track of my grades and they seemed pleased with them so far."

"I don't recognize the handwriting," Rose commented.

"Better to open it to find out," the fifth year Ravenclaw prefect said. "It'll go off by itself if it isn't opened."

"HERMIONE GRANGER," a female voice came out of the letter as Hermione opened it and the Weasley Twins jumped in their seats as the heard the voice, "HOW DARE YOU PREVENT MY RONALD FROM BEFRIENDING ROSE POTTER! I PROMISED HIM THAT HE'D BE ROSE'S BEST FRIEND. I HAVE HEARD THE LIES YOU HAVE BE SPREADING ABOUT MY SON! YOU ARE JUST A JEALOUS LITTLE…"

By that point Rose snapped her fingers and the letter was consumed by flames and not even ash remained.

"That women could yell," Rose said as she rubbed her forehead with both of her index fingers.

"What!?" Hermione replied nearly shouting, "All I hear are bells ringing!"

Rose reaches into her book bag, which appeared to be big enough to hold 3 of her text books, and it consumed her entire arm as she blindly was looking around for something that is in it and sounds of glass being fondled with came from the bag and with a 'AHA!' She brought out a vile full of potion and told Hermione loud enough so she could hear, "This should fix your hearing problem!"

"What! I can't hear a thing," Hermione asked as shouted to hear herself as she tried effortlessly to regain her hearing.

Sighing to herself Rose than snapped her fingers as words written in flame spelled out in mid-air what she said to Hermione earlier floated in front of her face.

"Oh! Why didn't you say so!" Hermione replied as she drank the potion.

After Hermione finished drinking the potion, Rose asked, "Better?"

"Much," Hermione replied as she used a napkin to clean out her ears.

"Ms. Granger," causing the two preteens to jump in their seat as they hadn't realized that McGonagall had approached them, with Flitwick not far behind, as they looked at her. "I must apologize for Mrs Weasley, Ronald Weasley's mother, for her. She had no right to send you a howler for her son's behavior."

"It's not your fault Professor," Hermione replied.

"Be assured, I will have words with her," McGonagall said in a stern voice.

"Don't worry girls," Flitwick assured them. "She may favor Gryffindors more but she takes seriously the well being of any student of every student. Ms. Potter, Ms. Granger I have received word that your tutor will be expecting you after your final class of the day on the 3rd floor corridor on the right hand side and that you will know the room when you see it."

"Isn't that the part of the castle the Headmaster warned us to stay away from at the start of the term?" Hermione asked in shock.

"I tried to get him to change the location but he refused to budge on the matter," the aging charms Professor replied with a heavy sigh.

At the Ministry of Magic, Dumbledore and Fudge is in currently in a meeting.

"I would like nothing better to have Rose Potter to be a British citizen again," Fudge ranted. "To do what you are asking is breaking at least a dozen ICW laws and even more British laws that has been in the books for centuries. I need three quarters of Wizengamot to overturn half of them. We both know the dark families will never stand for this. As they control 40%, with the light families match them in numbers and the neutrals control the rest."

Dumbledore tried calming the Minister down as he talked, "I know. I've been in politics for more years than I can count. The loss of the last Potter will hurt us. She might not be aware of this but the Potter families owns half of the debts owed by the Ministry, accumulated over the centuries."

"I know," Fudge replied in a voice that several octaves higher than normal. "There were several Dark Lord sympathizers that tried to remove them from the Potter estates shortly after I started my first term as Minister!"

"Ms. Potter has no interest in staying in England after she finishes her schooling," Dumbledore stated as he stroke his beard. "I can only do so much to convince her to stay, even with my multiple positions."

"Britain will lose a lot of political standing when the world realizes that the girl who defeated the most powerful Dark Lord in over a hundred years, and doesn't want to live in her country," Fudge said as he paled as he realized the implications.

"If Ms. Potter decided to call all the debts, the economy will take years, if not, decades to recover." Dumbledore added.

Fudged looked like he was going to faint as Dumbledore thought to himself as he showed no outward emotion, 'Perfect! Be a good little Niffler and take the Niffler bait.'

"NO! MY PRECIOUS CABBAGES!" Rose, Hermione, and their personal tutor Puck, heard someone from all the way from Hogsmeade.

Rose merely looked at her friend with a flabbergasted look and asked, "How did you manage to turn a feather into a stone block and manage to teleport it while trying to do a basic hover charm?"

Hermione, who was blushing and twirling her index fingers in embarrassment, before squeaking out, "I don't know."

Puck, their tutor who could pass as a blue haired Veela, if it wasn't for her fairy wings, and appeared the same age as her two students, merely chuckled and said, "Not the most amusing mistake I've seen. This is why you are here Hermione. You are 4 years older than most when they awaken their fairy magic. You also have to figure out how to properly separate your two Magic's so you will have the desired result."

Hermione rose her hand, and Puck said, "If you have a question you don't have to raise your hand. It is just the 3 of us."

"Um, ok," Hermione replied unsure. "I was wondering why fairies decided to hide from the rest of the magical world too?"

Puck explained, "It's a complicated topic with many answers. Some of it is due to are longevity, another is that we were hunted for are wings for various potions, along for slave markets of the time. Those are some of the contributions. I should really bring a book completely covering the topic next session."

"Why come out of hiding now?" Hermione asked,

"The rest of the magical world has forgotten the reasons we hid in the first place and we are prepared for any backlash," Puck replies. "Rose stop changing the wall structure. It could ruin the ruins supporting this part of the castle."

Rose gave an innocent 'who me?' look as they saw the entire brick wall is now a wall made completely out of water, complete with fish swimming around.

Puck gave her a stern glance before Rose gave in, reverting the wall back to its original stone.

"I don't know how, but according to Hogwarts: A History, it's impossible to apparate on Hogwarts grounds," Hermione said while continuing to blush.

"Only witches and wizards use apparition, my dear student," Puck reassured her student. "Other magical races have their own variation of the trick. The only differences is how they do it, wizards tear a hole in space, big enough for them to pass through, fairies on the other hand fold space onto itself so they can transverse the distance without actually moving."

"How do you know these things," Hermione asked in a doubtful manner.

Puck merely huffed in pride and replied, "We fairies actually attempt to understand all the ins and outs of magic, while magical Britain world rely on outdated theories."

"I wish I could just FaceTime my parents," Hermione said as she rubbed her forehead. "I'm getting a headache just from getting an idea of how behind the wizards are."

"Will an IPad work?" Rose asked asked as she pulled an 11x11" iPad from between her breasts and offered it to her.

Hermione's eye twitched at Rose and she merely replied, "What? It's supposed to be a Christmas present. I ordered it last week and it arrived a few hours ago. It's a non-magical version though, but it can still work in magic rich environments."

"How did you fit it in your cleavage?" Hermione asked as if ignoring Rose's explanation.

Rose used her free arm to support her breasts and replied, "There is nothing I can't hide in between my girls!"

Hermione slapped the back of her friends head as Puck snorted in amusement.

"So you don't want your gift? I can always return it," Rose said as she rubbed the back of her head.

Hermione snatched the device from Rose and stated in hurry, "Ididn'tsaythat!" Before going to a corner.

"Is she normally like this," Puck asked Rose.

"No." came Rose's simple reply and Puck lets out a sigh of relief. "Normally she is worse."

This caused Puck to look at Rose in disbelief, and not being able to tell if she is kidding or not as Rose kept a neutral face.

"We should get back to your lessons," Puck stated.

"Yes mam," the two girls said as they returned to their individual assignments.

Hermione continued on working on using her fairy magic for the levitation spell and not a few seconds later another shout could be heard from Hogsmeade, "NO! MY PRECIOUS PRIZE WINNING CABBAGE!"

That night both Hermione and Rose are doing some of their written homework while they ate their dinner.

"Which goblin leader used Chimera's as mounts?" Rose asked Hermione.

"Koggus the Bloody, leader of the Goblin nation from 1408 to his death in 1421," Hermione replied as she didn't look up from her parchment.

"Thank You Hermione," Rose said as she wrote it down.

They were to engrossed in eating and doing their homework that they didn't hear a blonde first year had approached them and stated in a sneer, "Do you girls think your so special?"

The two glanced at the blonde boy and Rose asked as she continued her History of Magic homework, "What are talking about Malfoy?"

"Getting extra lessons and doing them in the corridor that's off limits for everyone else," Draco explained in a sneer.

Rose snorted in amusement and Hermione rolled her eyes before retorting, "First off these 'extra lessons' are mandatory. Hermione and me…"

"It's Hermione and I Rose," Hermione corrected.

Rose stuck her tongue at Hermione in jest before continuing, "…are part fairies and we have two very different magic's. Without the proper training we could wind up mixing them together and get…explosive results."

As soon as Rose finished her explanation, an explosion happened right in Seamus, leaving him covered in sut. This caused students from various years and houses to look at the first year before returning to their meals as they realized nobody was in any real danger.

"You filthy half-breeds shouldn't even have come to Hogwarts! I bet you two played the Headmaster into letting you in here, like the old fool that he is ummph…" Draco ranted before a piece a of tape was applied over his mouth and Draco frantically tried to remove it.

"I can see why you like that spell," Hermione said to Rose after she casted the spell.

"I thought he would have learned by now," Rose stated as she hadn't worked up as Crabbe and Goyle try and fail to remove the tape off of Malfoy's mouth.
