"Good you don't need to know, until I can tell if I trust you" She said and took a drink of her butterbeer.

"Oh hi professor" Astraea said. She looked around then back at Ginny. "Did you see anyone? Or does the squid normally attack people?" she asked. She was still new and had only heard a little bit about it. "It tired to kill me, I think someone was controlling it." Astraea said and she shuddered slightly remembering the feeling. "I was scared, it kept dragging me closer and closer to the water. I can swim to well, and I was afraid" she said as she held back the tears.

Astraea heard the choice, but knew she didn't really have a choice. "With you of course" she said and kept quiet.

"Its going pretty good" she said smiling as Jessie sat by her. "It seems like where ever I turn I see people showing off with their wands, kind of upsets me" she said.

"Don't mind what? What are you thinking I am?" Astraea asked interested in what he would say.

     Astraea sat out by the lake. She had a small fire glowing on the ground. *This is amazing* she thought to herself. She was finally able to practice her powers and she was getting fire down pretty good. She loved being alone and playing wither her powers. Her green see through wings were stretched out as far as they would go. She smiled and put the fire out as she got an idea. She raised her hands and pulled the ground up and covered the fire putting it out.

     Astraea stood up and looked all around her. As she maybe sure no one was around her, her wings began to move then started to flutter, and her body lifted off the ground a few inch's. She smiled and once again looked around. "No one" she said softly to herself and let out a small giggle. She began to lift up higher and higher, and soon was about seventeen feet above the ground. She could see part of the castle and all of the lake.

     She flew towards the lake. Astraea looked down and could see things moving quickly through the water. Astraea flew closer to the water and let her finger tips touch the top. She began to slowing raise up when she saw something big coming towards the surface. Alarmed Astraea flew faster and higher. She stopped to take a breath, and she felt something wet and scaly wrap around her right foot. Scared she began to fly higher and higher trying to get the tentacle off of her. She began to scream for help and realized no one was around. Slowly, but surely she was getting pulled down closer to the water. The closer she got the bigger the squid got.

     Astraea started to throw her hands up towards the air, like it was something to hang on to. Suddenly flame flew out one of her hands and she felt slightly relived. She was only a feet feet away from the water, and Astraea began shooting flames at the squids tentacle. She got a good hit on it and it let go and sunk down to the bottom of the lake.

     She pointed her toes and put her hands flat against her sides and began to fly off towards the shore. She had tears falling from her eyes, and she was still slightly terrified. After a few minutes she landed on shore and sat down in the sand far away from the water. She pulled her small legs up to her chest and wrapped her arms around them. "That was way scarier then the dragons" She said out loud.

     Astraea calmed herself down slightly and stood up. She knew that wasn't the way the squid normally acted, and was determined to find out what was controlling it. Astraea turned quickly towards the forest. She heard laughing, then she turned the other way and heard the crunching of leaves walking towards her at a hurried paste. She put her hands up and got into some sort of stance. "Who's there?" she yelled loudly.

Astraea stepped out from the wall. She looked wide awake and looked at Stacey. "What are you doing awake? She said and yawned a little. "Where are you going?" she asked.

"Even if they're cute?" Astaea asked winking at Stacey to make sure she knew she was kidding. She walked in and waited for Stacey and Rheese to follow.

Astraea kept quiet for a second. "I-I don't think so" She said and realized she had been talking to loosely, and needed to watch what she said.

20 hours and 30 minutes

"I find flying relaxing, like you haven't a care in the world. Its my favorite thing to do, well besides visiting my friends in the mountains near where the dragons live" She said. "I also love place with my elements, I can control fire and earth" She said smiling. "But I can't use a wand at all" Astraea said in a slightly whisper. "but by the time I'm of age I won't need a wand, because my powers will just come to me" She said smiling happily.

"Okay then the Three Broomsticks it is" She said and started to walk and then stopped. "Where is the Three Broomsticks?" She asked.

"So you like flying?" Astraea asked gleefully. She smiled. "I think flying is simply the best thing to do ever" She said. "And you like to read, I guess you seem like the reading type" She said and shrugged her shoulders.

"I think she was indicating you were the fish" Astraea said. "Oh I thought, since she knew so much about you, and you two were joking around and everything that you two were-" Astraea read the sadness in his eyes and cut her sentence short. "Well whats your favorite place in Hogsmead?" she asked trying to change the subject.

"Do they have salads? I can't eat very much, for certain reasons" Astraea said quietly to Stacey. She wasn't sure if she wanted Rheese or Jessie to know about her wings yet, she wasn't sure what they would think about them.
