Many of the characters that I'm using were the creation of the fabulously talented J.K.Rowling. I do not take any credit for her characters.



Chapter One

Late one night, just before the students of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry were due to arrive for their first term of the year, the Headmaster of the school, Professor Dumbledore, was pacing in his office. For, he knew that a new kind of student would be arriving along with all of the others.

You see, six months prior Dumbledore had been summoned to the Ministry of Magic. He was to be briefed on an extremely strange situation.
Even the Minister himself, Cornelius Fudge, did not know how to handle such a difficult situation. However, he knew that he had to figure out a decision.

Fudge was sitting at his desk when Dumbledore arrived at the Ministry. His hands were sweaty and he had beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He still wasn't completely sure of how he was going to break the news to Dumbledore of his latest and biggest problem. He took in a deep breath to relax himself when the doors to his office swung open. In their place stood a familiar face, Professor Dumbledore.

"Albus, I have a very important question to ask you before I begin," said Cornelius as if though he were asking for advice.

"Minister, I may have an answer, that is depending on it's content."

"Do you think that Muggles are capable of learning to use magic?" asked Fudge.

"You have to understand, Minister, Muggles.... Well, they may be able to learn how to use magic, but to what skill level I do not know. They don't
possess the tolerance for the unexplainable as we in our world do. They only see what they want to see. Why do you ask, Cornelius? "

"Albus, I'm afraid we have a situation that is going to need your direct
and expert attention. It has recently come to my attention that about nine years ago, a two year-old boy was found on the door step of Divinity
Wellheart; she works within the Ministry. As it turns out she has been hiding the fact that her adopted son is a Muggle. "

"What are you trying to tell me, Cornelius? "

"This boy has lived in our world for nine years , Albus !" exclaimed a frustrated Fudge. "What do you think? Divinity has requested the boy be
admitted to Hogwarts. I told her that I needed to make some inquiries first. That's when I sent you an owl. I wanted to know if it was even possible to teach the boy. I didn't want to waste anyone's time and effort if you didn't think it was possible. "

"I think it would be wise to take it one term at a time. After all, he has
grown up in our world for nine years, he is no ordinary muggle. What is his
name? "

"Justin Wellheart," answered Cornelius.

I hope that some of you folks out there will enjoy my story. It's been sitting in my head since the second movie was released. I'll be able to post again this Saturday with another chapter or two. Thankyou to the Moderaters for allowing me to post this story!

I would just like to thank you all for your positive feedback. It's always been a dream of mine to write books.



Chapter Two

Just a few hours away from hogwarts was a sandy haired boy quietly sitting in his own compartment aboard the Hogwarts Express. He sat there looking out his window watching the lush, green Scottish hills fly past him as he was on his way to school. This boy was particularly distinguished looking. He was rather plain and to the other kids on the train he was this strange and mysterious character. He had no magical abilities to speak of and was extremely shy and always appeared to be nervous. This boy's name was Justin Wellheart. He didn't know what to expect when they arrived at Hogwarts due to the fact that he had never stepped foot in a formal classroom. You see, his mother, Divinity Wellheart, had always paid for a private teacher to come to their home and give him his lessons. He had only been taught the basic subjects and never anything that required magic. All of his former teachers had been sworn to secrecy and they had even made the " unbreakable vow " to keep his lack of magical skills a secret. So, this idea of having to go to Hogwarts did not sit well with him. Justin was becoming increasingly nervous and figgity as the train got closer to it's destination. He didn't know what to expect from his new surroundings and fellow students.
meanwhile, back in his office Prof. Dumbledore was looking as if though his powers had been stripped of him. He knew that int the upcoming hours many things would change at the historic school.Dumbledore was sick with worry; sworn to secrecy by the Minister of Magic, only the other professor at the school were to be informed of Justin's arrival and the fact that he possessed no real magical ability. As far as Dumbledore knew, Justin had also been instructed to keep his lineage and lack of magical powers to himself. if the wrong person were to find out this information it could make him a target of nasty tricks or worse. Not to mention put the school itself at risk. Professor Dumbledore was also fearful of what was going to happen when Professor McGonagall placed the soting hat on Justin's head. He knew he had no control over how the sorting hat would react or what it would say. He knew the other professors would keep quiet, but if information was going to slip out it would the sorting hat's doing. Drowning in his anxiety Dumbledore peered out his window to see the glow from the boat lanterns filled with students. Justin Wellheart, the first muggle to be excepted to Hogwarts would be arriving soon.

Me neither, you're a real genius for coming up with a plot like this! :x3:

I'm just about done with tweeking chapter three. So, get ready it's looking rather long so far.

I think that this is, AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here comes Chapter Three!!!

Chapter Three

Just as the train stopped the newest students were ushered to the train's exits. Outside waiting for them was a giant of a man with a big bushy beard and long frizzy hair. Justin and the other kids were startled and jumped a bit when the gentleman began to speak.

" Hello there. Well, don't just stand there, get your things and follow me. My name is Rubius Hagrid, eveyone here calls me Hagrid. I take care of the magical creatures at the school. Well, go on give your names, no need to be shy." , boomed Hagrid's deep voice.

As the children filed off the train they began to join into groups of 4-5 students. But, it was no surprise to Hagrid who the odd man out was. Standing there all by himself was Justin starring down at his boots and kicking at imaginary rocks on the ground. It was also pretty obvious to the other students that there was something very different about the painfully shy blonde-headed boy. None of them could remember seeing him in Diagon Alley in the weeks before school was to start like everyone else. In fact, none of them recalled ever seeing him before now. Just as a group of students was about to approach Justin, Hagrid stepped towards Justin and they shrunk back away from him and began to talk amongst themselves about the stranger among them.

" Everyone follow me. Mind your step. Well...come on now. You don't want to be left behind. There's dangerous things out here." Hagrid said.
After about five minutes of walking the students arrived at the wagons. " Four students to a wagon!", cried out Hagrid as he guided the last of the students toward the wagons. " Might as well get to know each other!"

Justin quickly climbed into the first available wagon. Just behind was Thomas Miller. He was just over ten years old, a bit on the husky side, a big round face and chestnut brown hair. He was a few inches taller than Justin as well.

Sorry about the cut off. My computer froze , but I was able to post that small portion before losing what I had already typed in. Thank goodness!

Ohh I love it keep up the good work.
pamspamspams

Omg!!!
 

I just finished typing the second part of chapter three and then got booted of the internet. I am getting so P.O. ed!!! I'm gonna retype it later. Sorry everyone.

Chapter three continued
 

Next to climb up onto the wagon was Benny Brickner. He was a also a first

year. Benny had straight black hair that was slicked back and piercing blue

eyes that were hidden behind his wire framed glasses. He was a bit skinny;

really there wasn't much to him. Justin had decided that Benny was a bit of a

bookworm. He had come to that conclusion due to the book that was

practically attached to his face when he climbed up. The last person to climb

up into the wagon was Roberta Thornhurst. She was a rather pretty girl with

long red curly hair that came down almost to her bottom. She had the most

beautiful dark blue eyes any of the boys had seen. She was well groomed

and from what the boys could tell she had expensive taste in clothing. From

the moment she spoke she had their full attention.

" Hi, my name is Roberta Thornhurst, but my friends call me Bertie. "

" Hi." said the three boys in unison.

" Well...What are your names?!"

" M my name is Thomas Miller, but you can call me Tom if you like."

answered Thomas.

" Benjamin Brickner is my name, but I prefer Benny if you don't mind."

exclaimed Benny.

" Well, what about you? You have a name don't you?" asked Roberta.

" Yes, I have a name. My name is Justin Wellheart. Now if you don't mind I

don't feel like talking and I'd prefer to keep to myself if that's alright with the

rest of you."

" Boy, you've got a bit of a temper don't ya, Justin?" said Tom " What's

your problem?"

Sorry everyone , but I think I'm going to have to spilt the chapters into two or three parts in order for me to post. Some things wrong with my computer. I'll post the rest of chapter three in a little bit. Thanks for being so patient.

Final part of Chapter Three
 

You see Justin had thought that if he were to act impolite that the rest of

the kids would maybe leave him alone. Instead his answer would be followed

by another question and now he had to do a bit of back-pedaling to smooth

things over. " I'm sorry, it's just that I don't feel very well because I'm really

quite nervous about being sorted. I didn't mean to sound rude or anything. "

explained Justin.

" Justin, we're all nervous about what house we'll be sorted into. You

know we all have high expectations... family expectations to get into certain

houses too. But at the end of day it's not really up to us so much. It comes

down to where that bloody hat places us." , said Roberta.

" I say we all just sit back and relax while we can 'cause after tonight we'll

be starting our classes."

And so the four new friends sat quietly as the wagon bounced on through

the early evening. About an hour or so had gone by when the wagon came to

a stop, waking Justin, Tom, Benny, and Roberta. The four of them had fallen

asleep while the wagon bounced along, basically rocking them to sleep.

Rubbing their eyes as they took a look at the boats that would carry them on

the final leg of their journey to Hogwarts.

They quickly found the first empty boat and climbed inside of it. They

didn't want to be left behind to be stuck with a group of students that they

didn't know. They were already nervous enough. As they floated across the

water Justin had realized that the boat was propelling itself with out the

assistance of a motor or someone paddling. And the more he thought about

that he remembered that the wagon seemed to tow itself. As he thought

about all the ways this could have happened the boat had come to the

opposite shore and now the four friends looked up with wide eyes. They were

looking at th huge stairway that would lead them into the castle that housed

the school.

Finally!
 

As the newest students of Hogwarts climbed the last few steps they were

met at the top by by one of Hogwarts' most talented and respected

professors, Minerva McGonagall.

" Gather round children, make sure that you all can hear me. You are

instructed to stay here outside the Great Hall until you are called in to enter.

At such time you will gather at the front of the hall to be sorted into your

permanant houses. After which you will join your classmates at your house's

table before enjoying the great feast. Is that understood?" And with that

said she turned and entered tha Great Hall.


After what seemed like an eternity Prof. McGonagall returned to bring the

first year students into the Great Hall. She got them all lined up and the

sorting began. As the children were sorted one by one cheers were heard

from the respective houses as a new member joined their ranks and sat

down. With each name called Dumbledore became increasingly tense and

more sressed out. He knew that if their secret were to be broken it would be

at the mouth of the Sorting Hat. For he had no control over what the hat

would say while making it's decision. And if the hat did let it slip there could

be disasterous consequences for both Justin and the school itself.

Just then Justin's name was called and all attention was on him. Justin

pushed his way through his fellow first years and walked up to Prof.

McGonagall and sat on the stool next to her waiting for the Sorting Hat to be

placed on his head.

Before the hat was even on his head the Sorting Hat shouted ,
" RAVENCLAW!"

Professor Dumbledore and the other professors let out a giant sigh of relief.

But at the same time they were all in disbelief.

I'm working on chapter four. For some reason what is written is much more detailed when I type so with that I'll post another chapter soon.

AMAZING! I was really nervous for the sorting - I can't wait for more!! :D

WOW, that was AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was sooooooooooooo nervous for the sorting, but it all worked out fine!!!!!!!

*new reader joins in the circle*

You're talented. Nobody could have think a plot like this!
It's awesome and brilliant. I like it very much.
:woot:

Ican be am very patient. Not really but I try :)
Pams when you can

Hello to all my fabulous readers. Sorry for the wait I've been out of work for a few weeks, but I'm back and ready to post Chapter four today. Thank you all so much for your kind words.

Chapter Four
 

Justin had gone to sit with his new housemates in the Great Hall when he

approached the table a skinny brown haired boy slid over on the bench and

motioned for him to sit down next to him. Justin gave a smile and a nod

towards the boy as he sat and the boy began his introduction.


" Hello there. My name is Joshua Micheals. I'm a first year too! So, who do


you think our mystery student is? I heard that there was a muggle admitted


into Hogwarts. Do you suppose that's true? " asked Joshua as he looked

intently at Justin.

As Justin listened to Josh's questions he became extremely guarded as to

what his response would be. after thinking about it for a moment he had

decided that the best way to answer his new classmate would be to lie

about it. As far as everyone knew he had been sorted into Ravenclaw and

appeared to be like everyone else at the table. And with that thought he

answered, " Hi, nice to meet you. Justin Wellheart." As he shoved out his

hand towards Josh and shook hands with Josh. " I heard something similar as

I was on the train. Any ideas as to who it might be? "

" Well, some of the others kids thought that the Sorting Hat would have

let the secret slip out, but nothing out of the ordinary happened during

sorting. Who knows, it was probably just a rumor anyways. " said Joshua.

" Probably" , said Justin. " Thank goodness! " Justin said to himself. As

Justin settled into his house he turned his attention to the Headmaster's last

minute reminds for the first year students.

ohhh I love it. nice quick thinking there Justin. :glomp:
he seems like such a sweety :x3:
I am sooooo excited for more....keep up the amazing work
:faint: I was afraid when the guy asked Justin who he thought the Muggle was

PAMS


***Sarah***

Eep! :x3: I LOVE this story!

Chapter Four Continued
 

A few moments later Justin found himself making room for Bertie to sit

down next to him. She had also been placed into Ravenclaw and judging by

her expression on her face she wasn't very happy about it.

" My parents are going to freak out on me! " , yowled Bertie, " What am I

supposed to tell them about this. I even tried swaying that bloody hat and it

didn't listen to me. What am I going to do now?"

" Don't worry so much about it. I'm sure that your parents will understand

that it wasn't your fault that you were placed in Ravenclaw. Besides, think of

all the fun that we're gonna have together. You could have been placed in a

house where you don't know anyone, right?" Justin said as her tried

comforting her. " I'd like you to meet a new friend of mine. " He said as he

motioned his hand towards Josh. " His name is Josh Micheals and from what I

gather he's quite a talker." joked Justin with a small giggle.

" Shut up Wellheart and let me talk to the girl" quipped Josh with a nudge

into Justin's ribs. " The name is Josh. It's a pleasure to meet you" said Josh

as he extended his hand towards Bertie.

" Well, you're quite a charmer aren't you Josh? Hi, I'm Roberta Thornhust,

but you can call me Bertie" she said with a grin.

With that said Josh took her hand in his and gave her light kiss on the top of

her hand. Bertie turned red instantly while Josh just gave her a wink. As

Justin soon learned, Josh possessed a gift with girls and that bit with Bertie

was bothering him . Justin knew that he was too shy to interact with a girl

like Bertie. Just then he realized that he had a bit of crush on Bertie and he

himself began to blush.

" What the matter with you, Justin ?" asked Bertie.

" Oh, umm I was just thinking" answered Justin as he began to enjoy the

welcome feast along with his new friends and classmates.

Aww......... :blush: Sooooo sweet! PAMS!

Chapter Four : The Final Portion
 

After having finished stuffing themselves with roast beef, mashed

potatoes, corn, pudding and everything else that appeared before them Josh,

Justin and Bertie followed the House boy up to the entrance of the

Ravenclaw commonroom. One word spoken and the entrance would present

itself to the students allowing them to enter. " Opora vida ! "

The three friends watched in amazement as the doorway opened in front

of them revealing the beautifully decorated commonroom. A crushed tan

velvet couch sat in front of an enormous fireplace. To the left of the couch

was a small library with a longish table where Justin would find in the coming

days was perfect for working on homework and studying with his classmates.

Across the commonroom was another table that was mainly used by the older

students.The one time Justin tried to sit there to study he was quickly

removed by an older boy who levitated Justin back to where he belonged and

sat him right on Bertie's lap. Justin turned a dark shade of red and threw a

glare towards the boy.

Just as he had thrown the look at the older boy the boy looked as though

he had been thrown across the table and cleared the table of all his

schoolwork. As he got up he looked bewilderedly at Justin and Justin's eyes

widened with fear. ' What have I done' , he thought, ' I've never been able

to cast a spell and now I can without even speaking a word.' With that Justin

quickly went up to his bedroom and wrote a letter to his mother explaining

what had happened and asked for advice.

!!!!!!!!!! Does he know he's a Muggle!? :cry: Oh no! Don't beat him up!

Justin knows he's muggle. That's why he bugged out after he threw the older boy. And the plot thickens !!! :)

No, I mean does the older boy know he's a Muggle?

so exciting. just realized you added quite a bit more since i last read this. can't wait to find out what happens :)

ah I just read all your chapters! great job! can't wait for more!

I cant wait for more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chapter Five : Part One
 

It had been a few weeks since Justin had sent that letter to his mother

hoping that she might know how to handle his new - found talent and have

some advice to offer him. Justin, Bertie, and Josh were all sitting at their

usual table in the Great Hall eating dinner when the owls started to pour in

from every direction delivering the mail to the students. Justin sat there

waiting somewhat patiently for a response from his mother. All of the owls

had delivered their parcels and post and lef the Great Hall and Justin slumped

down in his seat disappointed. Bertie noticed Justin's disappointment and put

her hand on his shoulder and said " Don't worry about it. Your Mum will write

back and we'll all figure this out. " Of course, neither Bertie or any other

student knew what had been troubling Justin. In fact the other students in

Ravenclaw thought it was pretty cool that Justin could cast spells without

speaking, especially seeing as how he was a first year.

Just as Justin had given up hope to recieve an answer to his letter a lone

owl flew into the Great Hall and straight to him. Justin quickly tore open the

envelope and began to read.

" My Dearest Justin,

I'm sorry to have taken so long to answer your letter.

I've done a bit of research since recieving it. As it turns out

your ability to cast spells without having any type of training

is extremely rare. Only few witches and wizards have ever been

able to do what you are able to do. What's more puzzling is that

you are so young. You must be very careful not to get upset

with people. You are more likely to cause someone great harm

if you do not start to control it. Do ask Proffessor Dumbledore

for help with this matter. I have also sent him an owl explaining

the situation.


All my Love,
Mummy "

oooh!
 

You're too smart! :hermy2: LOL! I don't know you'll have to read more when I post it later. Anything is possible before it is written! HAhaha :)

Nice post!!! I have a theory, but I won't say it. Jeez this is a great story. P A M S

haha I also have theory...hmmm...PAMS!

I HAVE A THEORY! :woot: Good for me! :woot: AMAZING! :yes: Like always! :D

You all think that you've figured it out, but you never really know what is in the head of an author. ' Laughing meniacally' ! Besides I'm no longer working alone. I've enlisted the help of another. ' Laughing again' ?

:whaa: SHE'S GONE MAD GUYS! RU- :faint:

chapter Five : Part Two
 

After having finished his supper Justin made his way to the Headmaster's

office. Just outside it's entrance Justin was stopped by Prof. Snape. Justin

jumped as he almost ran right into his Potions teacher.

" And where might you be going Mr. Wellheart? " asked Snape.

" I needed to speak with the headmaster, Professor." answered Justin. "

How do I get inside his office? "

" All you need to say is ' sherbit lemon' and the eagle will rise revealing a

staircase you must climb. Then there is a door that you must knock on. "

" Thank you Prof. Snape. You know you're really not as bad as everyone

says." said Justin forgetting himself.

" What is that supposed to mean?! " Snape said as he loomed closer and

closer towards Justin.

" Nothing, Sir. I only meant that you were nicer than I thought is all. I

didn't mean any disrespect. I...I " Justin was interupted by the sound of the

eagle beginning to expose tha hidden staircase that led to Dumbledore's

office.

" Aah, Justin I was just coming to find you. " Dumbledore exclaimed. "

Professor Snape would you mind leaving us for a moment or two?"

" Of course, Headmaster. Justin, do see me after breakfast tomorrow

:snape2:morning, won't you? " said Snape as he left the corridor.

paahah oh no...should we be scared? and snapey...oh dear. PAMS

Dumbledore to save the day!!!! (or is he?) and I have a few theories, some more far-fetched than others...but for some reason I never think of the obvious things, so I'm probably wrong haha :) PAMS!

SNAPEY! :loved: Aw, so when is this set? I'm guessin' it's before Snape died... :xd: Just a wild guess! Great chapter! PAMS!

great post, but now i'm doubting my theory. Although now matter how obvious is might seem to me you can miss thing even when they are staring you right in the face. Sooooo....PAMS!

Chapter Five : Final Portion
 

The two wizards watched as Prof. Snape continued down the corridor and

turned the corner before starting their conversation.

" How are you doing, Justin? " asked Prof. Dumbledore. " I've received an

owl from your Mother last week. I'm sorry we weren't able to speak sooner."

" I'm doing fine, Headmaster. I just have a few questions to ask of you. mI

don't understand why my magical abilities have begun so much later than any

other witch or wizard. Is there any reason why this has happened? What I

mean to ask is, why can't I control them and why is my reaction to people

who are mean to me so violent? To be honest , Sir, I scare myself. The last

thing I want to do is really harm someone." answered Justin.

" Well, Tom, I mean Justin...As wizards we never quite know when our

powers will begin. In fact I have taught many late blooming witches and

wizards. It is curious as to why your powers presented themselves this late

in your childhood. But the good news is that myself and the other Professors

are here to help you harness your unique abilities. You see, very seldom does

a student have the ability to cast spells without speaking or using a wand.

This has only happened a handful of times in my tenure here at Hogwarts. "

said Dumbledore sympathetically.

" I don't understand, Professor. What does al this mean? Does it mean

that I am evil or something? " pleaded Justin.

" No, my boy. It just means that you'll need a few extra lessons to help

you control your reaction and use your magical abilities for learning and be

safe when you are confronted by others who may single you out."

" One more question, Sir, who is Tom? "

" Tom was a former student here at Hogwarts long ago. He too had

powers like yours. He did horrible things to people because he turned his back

on love. You must always remember to love those around you and do things

from the light side of magic. And with the training that you will get here, I

have no doubt that you will be a great wizard someday. until then focus on

your studies and all will turn out well." :albus3:

oh no..he called him Tom! gah! great chapter/portion! PAMS

Thanks, I thought it would add a little meat to the story. Hahaha! :)

hahahahaha :lmao: :lmao: "Well, Tom, I mean Justin" I don't know why I found that HILARIOUS! :)

Great post. I laughed when he called him Tom, too. :)

To all of my readers:
Since having invited a good friend to collaborate with me during the remainder of this story, there will be no new posts until after the 6th of August. This new Co- Author is very talented and before Chapter Six is posted I will make her introduction and add her into my Disclaimer as well. Again I apologize for this delay in the story.

Great story, I can't believe he called him Tom!!!

Ooh, that means more posts soon! :evil:

Well I am way caught up!

Oh no..he was called Tom, should i be worried?

Anyway,

Can't wait for more posts!

i can't wait!! hurry!

:woot:

Chapter Six : Part 1 The Run In
 

The following chapters are collaborated and Co-Authored with The Pureblood Princess. I've always believed that like minds should band together. I feel that you will soon agree after reading the chapters to come. And thank you again for all your talent and input my friend. Thank you to all of OUR readers.

The next morning Justin dressed quickly then nervously made his way down toward the Great Hall to meet his friends for breakfast. His eyes darted about the corridors as he clutched his bag and schools books tightly as he scanned the corridors for Prof. Snape, As he was expecting his Potions teacher to jump out at him at any moment. As he reached the entrance to the Hall two fifth year students hurried past Justin and knocked into him sending all of his books flying out of his hands, scattering them all over the staircase. the two boys laughed as they continued on their way towards their house tables for breakfast, leaving Justin to collect his things. as he stood up , Justin felt the frustration building inside of himself and began to mumble under his breath. Suddenly, Justin's hand began to tingle and his heart started beating really hard and very fast beneath his jumper. He frowned slightly as he flexed his fingers as he tried to put the thought of the older boys and what had happened out of his mind. as he calmed down the tingling had subsided and with a few more deep breath his heartrate returned to normal.

oh jeeze. at least he's getting better...for now! short and sweet! pleaseplease post more soon! and *waves* at the new author! y'all are doing a wonderful job! PAMS

Justin frowned , He was sure that he was about to use magic on those two older boys. He was, however , glad that he was able to control himself. The last thing he wanted was to hurt anyone because of his lack of control and knowledge of spell-casting. ' Thank goodness for that little chat with Prof. Dumbledore ' Justin thought to himself. Shaking the the thought of what just and what could've happened, Justin continued to make his way into The Great Hall where Bertie was waving him over. Justin took a seat next to Josh and began to absent-mindedly pick at his breakfast.

" Are you alright, Justin ? " asked Bertie as she leaned toward Justin with a look of worry flashing acrossed her face.

" Yeah, I'm fine. " Answered Justin as he began to play with his food. He was still trying to lose the thought of this mornings events when the figure of Prof. Snape appeared in front of him, causing him to jump alittle.

" Good morning, Mr. Wellheart. my office. Ten minutes. "

" Y-yes, Professor. " answered Justin nervously as he nodded.

Snape gave him a curt nod then turned and walked out of the Great Hall , his black robes billowing out behind him like the out-strtched wings of a raven.

" What's that all about, Justin ? " asked Josh As he filled his mouth with sausages.

justin just shrugged his shoulders in response as he grabbed his bag and stuffed his books in.

" I'm not sure. I'll talk to you guys later, okay? " justin said over his shoulder as he hurried out. Justin made his way down the dark corridor that led to the dungeons, swallowing loudly as he turned the corner towards Prof. Snape's office.

Oh!

What does Snape have to say?

I'm curious!

Good Job!

PAMS

Chapter Six : Continued
 

Just as Justin came to Prof. Snape's office door flew open. Sitting behind his desk was Prof. Snape. He was rifling through mountians of paperwork trying to get the last homework assignments graded. Without even looking up Snape welcomed Justin in a way only he could, " You , Mr. Wellheart , are late. Do you have a problem reading your watch ? Perhaps you need a new one.Enough of that . that's not why I have asked you to join me. In fact , I didn't even think this conversation was necessary , but I was asked to do so by the Headmaster. You see , you've been given a gift that every witch and wizard wishes they could possess. So few of us in our world are able to hone our skills and powers remotely close to your abilities. Justin , if the wrong person were to find out that a weak little first year student had your abilities it would , without a doubt , be the end of that student. Do you understand?! "

" Professor , everything has begun to happen so fast. I try to control my feelings like Prof. Dumbledore told me , but it's so hard. I don't know if I can keep doing it . It's like there's this strange feeling and I have a hard time shaking that feeling. This morning there was two olders boys... "

" I know , Justin , I was watching you this morning and saw eveything. You did rather well controling your reaction to what they did. But I do have a question. When you were picking up yor things did your hand begin to hurt at all? "

" H-how did you know that , Professor ? "asked a wide-eyed Justin " And it was a strange burning tingling feeling really. Actually , It's a bit annoying. "

pahah I love ole snapey! PAMS

ooh...what's going to happen next?!

" Just know , Justin, that the other professors and I are watching out for you. For the time being you will be attending extra lessons every day With either myself or Prof. Queral. Is that understood ? You will be notified of time and place by special message each morning in your house common room. You must wait for all the other students in your house to leave as the message will not arrive before all others are gone. Do you understand these instuctions?"

" Yes, Professor I understand. When are the lessons to begin? "

" I would like you to meet me during your study hall period today. We will be working mostly on your controlling your emotions. Each lesson will only last an hour or two. That way there are no excuses as to why your other subjects are neglected. All of your teachers know what is going on but none of them will except any slip in your performance in their classrooms. "

And with that the meeting was over and Justin began to make his way to his first class of day.

hmm...interesting...I can;t wait to see the lessons! gah! PAMS

same as kate ^ :)

PAMS!

I'm anxious for more PAMS

Can't wait for more.

QUIRRELL!? Or is it another random teacher?

PAMS!

Sorry,I had a spelling mishap. It's the same teacher we all know .


Anyhow, Chapter 7 will be posted this weekend :)

Chapter Seven : Lessons
 

Justin was waiting for all of the other students to clear out of the common room. He sat in front of the fireplace as it was a bit chilly this morning. And why shouldn't it be cold it was , after all , mid November. After having to wait twenty minutes or so , finally the room was empty and every on else had gone to the great hall for breakfast. Just as he was about to lose hope that the letter wasn't going to come, the letter appeared before his eyes.



Justin,

You are required to report to Professor Snapes office today. You are to be no later than ten thirtythis morning. you need nothing except your wand. Tell no one of this appointment. We will know if you speak to anyone about this arrangement.


Justin became a bit nervous as he read the last sentence of the letter. ' Could there be someone who is following me? Besides, who would I even tell? ', he thought to himself. As he walked out of the common room he began to look behind him. Now the poor boy was becoming paranoid. Just as Justin had begun to lose his mind he heard a familiar voice calling to him.

" Hey, Just, what's taken you so long. I've been saving you a seat !" Called out Josh.


' Yeah, I thought I forgot my Potions Kit. So, I went back for it , only to find it here in my stupid bag." answered Justin. He didn't like having to lie to his friends, but he didn't want to get into worse trouble.

Poor Justin, having to lie. The note was pretty secrative...

PAMS

~Abby~

:whaa: QUIRRELL!? Hate him...

Great chapter, as always!

PAMS! :D

With that said Justin sat down and began to load his plate with a handful of bacon , a generous helping of scrambled eggs, two slices of toast and some hash. While he did that Bertie was nice enough to pour him a glass of pumpkin juice.

" Are you a bit hungry, Justin? " joked Bertie.

" Actually, I am. I am a growing boy after all. Besides, not all of us eat like a bird." Justin said with a half smile on his face.

Bertie's face turned a bright shade of red when Justin said that. Truth be told , she had a huge crush on him. she would always catch herself thinking about him. It didn't matter if she was in one of her classes, in bed or sitting right across the table from him. she would imagine herself and Justin being together at a dance or out to dinner.She even imagined that they would one day be married. Bertie had gotten caught up in her daydream when she realized that Josh and Justin were asking her if she was going to meet them for lunch. " Yeah, you both know I'll be here, as always. "

" You seem mad at me ,Bertie. I was only joking. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings if I did." Justin said sheepishly.

" No, you didn't. I was just thinking about that essay that we have to get done for Defense Against the Dark Arts. it's due tomorrow. I haven't even started yet. I don't think Prof. Querrel likes me very much. He's always giving me nasty looks. something doesn't seem right with him."

PROFESSOR QUIRRELL!? Why doesn't he like Bertie? :hmm:

ANOTHER great chapter, two in a few hours, new record! :D

PAMS!

Same Chapter . New part of said chapter. And still more to come before the end of this one...alot more!

Bertie has a crush, Bertie has a crush, Bertie haas a.....okay you get it.

Good Job, good job

PAMS

~ABBY~

Welcome to Justin's little fan club!! Really, thanks for enjoying my FF. :)

I'm a new reader...
Actually this is the first story here I'm reading...and its going great!

By the way, what is PAMS?

Welcome new reader! :) Pams is an acronym for Please Add More Soon. It took me a while to riddle it out myself, a couple of weeks actually.:head:

Oh!
So a PAMS from me too!

It was 9:30 in the morning and Justin had just met up with Bertie and they were on their way to their Defense Against the Dark Arts class. Bertie was already starting to complain about Prof. Quirrell.

" I just don't know why Prof. Quirrell is so irratated with me all the time. I do all my homework. I don't misbehave in class. I just try to be invisible in his class so he won't pick on me. And it never works. I can't figure out what his problem is with me." complained Brtie as the two of them walked into the classroom.

" I don't know either, Bertie." Justin said sympathetically. " Maybe you're too quiet in his class. You barely get evolved with the class discussions along with the rest of us.Maybe you should start to speak up a bit more."

They find their seats and sit down.

" Well, I'll try that today, but I have a bad feeling about this. " Bertie whispered as Quirrell stepped out of his office.

Prof. Quirrell had seen Bertie talking to Justin and immediately singled her out.

" Well, Miss. Thornhurst, I see that you and Mr. Wellheart are getting rather cozy over at your desk. Would you two like for all of us to leave the room so that you can have some PRIVACY ?! "

Both Bertie and Justin were completely mortified. Bertie just got up a flew out the door sobbing and Justin just gave Quirrell a look that could kill.Actually, the look almost did. The moment that Justin looked up at his teacher Quirrell let out a bloob-curddling scream and fell to the floor in a heap. Everyone in the class looked at Justin in shock. No one would ever dare to attack a teacher. The punishment for such an attack was expulsion, everyone knew that.

" What have you done ? " asked Benny.

" I don't know ... I didn't do anything. You guys saw...I didn't do anything ! " exclaimed Justin

All the kids in the class crowded around their fallen teacher and were looking down on him when Prof. McGonagall arrived to see what all the commotion was about.
