practice makes perfect

" I am enthusiastic, and it's fun being it! " Albus said, then asked, " Powerful or? The fairy's powers within elementals?" He grinned, wanting to know more.

[Astraea]

"The powers I have are pretty normal" Astraea said smiling. "I can fly without a wand or broom. which is why I have wings" She said moving them slightly. "Different fairy's can talk and control different things. When a fairy is born they have clear wings and over time the colors change and they develop they're Elemental powers and the other powers also." Astraea said."Normally the color of the wings and the powers match." she said happily.

"Like me I have green wings and I can control earth, Also I can talk to dragons and can control fire" She said proudly. "Most fairy's don't use wands like I said, and when I learn spells I practice with a wand. I really don't need a wand but it helps me fit in." she said smiling. "Also the more I practice with a wand the better I can do it without a wand."

Stacey had gotten lost in the conversation and when there was a pause, she spoke. "Brown can mean different things. It can mean I`m happy, or confused, or I just made them brown."

[fudge0604]

Albus suddenly realized something. How long had Ginny known he had a crush on Jessie?
Many times around her, his thoughts had wandered. In class, now, way to many times.
He blushed, looking down at the ground, yet again.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey saw Albus look down and she suddelny realized something: when she had done the horrible thing of giving him the truth potion, he had said his favorite person was Jessie, Jessie was a girl. Stacey looked at the ground also blushing. She also blocked her mind.

[Astraea]

Astraea was confused. She looked at Stacey then at Albus. What was wrong with them. Why weren't they talking. Whats up with all of the blushing. She just didn't get it. Any of it. Astraea didn't someone to talk. She didn't like the sudden quietness. *I'm not use to this* she thought to herself.

Astraea took a few steps then looked back at them. She walked back over and just stood there stareing. First she watched Albus he didn't do anything. Then she looked over at Stacey. Nothing just silence. Finally she looked over at Ginny who hadn't said much in the last few minutes. She studied her then looked away.

Astraea took a deep breath and stretched her wings to their complete wing span. Her wings start to flutter and her feet lifted off the ground. Nothing was happening and she still needed to practice. She didn't go to high off the ground. The tree tops were to high. She sighed and her feet went back to the ground. She didn't want to practice right now. She sat on the ground and tucked her wings all the way in. She sighed and made small amonts of dirt move.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny simply smirked at Albus and Stacy, feeling the directions of their thoughts without even trying, and she sat down next to Astraea.
"Ignore them," She murmured softly, "Embarrassment comes easily with the younger students."

She reached down, scooping up her own pile of dirt, and then letting it fall from his fingers, creating a thin dust. She clenched her fist around the dirt, then turned it. When she opened her hand, palm up, instead of a pile of dirt was a small glass orb, filled with the earth element. It glowed, mixing itself between brown, green, and a light yellow.

Ginny expertly twirled the orb in her fingers, knowing full well the danger if it fell and broke. If the thing broke, the earth element would come sweeping out, causing everything within 100 mile radius to be hit with it. It would hurt many people.

But Ginny had been playing with elemental orbs for a long time now, and she seemed at home with the smooth glass ball that pulsed with the earth's energy.

[fudge0604]

Albus looked up as he heard some fluttering. Astraea was flying. Just a few inches from the ground, but
still flying. He grinned, and then when she landed, he looked over to Ginny.
The little orb in her hand amused him. " What are that?" Albus said, looking at her with big eyes.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey just sat, bitting her lip and watching what the others did. She looked from one person to the other, her eyes purple from her random thoughts.

[Astraea]

Astraea just stared at the orb. She had seen one before. She didn't remember where or who, but knew she had seen one once before. "Its an orb" she said in a soft voice. "It takes a lot of practice to make one" she said as Ginny moved it around her fingers. "How long have you been able to do that?" she asked.

[potter_fan122]

Stacey looked at what Astraea was talking about, and after she looked at it for a while she went back to thinking. She knew Ginny could read her mind, but she didn`t care to much.

[Ginny Weasly]

"Since I was 13." She winked at them, holding her free hand out even as she played with the orb in the other.

"You have to be able to control the element to make one. To be a master." She grinned as she turned her free hand palm up, and them waved her wrist. Instantly, three more orbs appeared. A deep throbbing red one, that gave off heat. Fire.
A deep blue. Water.
A white one, filled with what was like fog. Air.

Ginny stood, and then began to juggle all four of the elemental orbs, a smile on her face. She was being unusually reckless, because if even one orb fell and broke, the entire area would be engulfed by it's pure elemental power.

"Kiara Maul and Lavender Potter taught me this." She laughed, walking as she juggled. "Those two girls were like my big sisters."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey half-listened to what Ginny was saying. She was to busy thinking, thinking about Niles, Albus and Jessie, and Ginny. She was slightly amazed by Ginny. She could do everything it seemed like. Stacey knew that Ginny could hear her. 'She`s a teacher.' She said to herself. She would understand. Stacey stood up and started pacing back and forth. Walking in and out of the shadows. She wondered how long Ginny knew about Niles and her. And how did she keep everyone`s thoughts to herself? She was very confused.

[Ginny Weasly]

Ginny began walking backwards around the clearing, obviously having fun with her small game of juggling. As she passed Stacy, she gave her a pure smile. One that reflected her happiness and ease.

"To answer your question, Stacey, I've seen more important things than who like who." She stopped, right at the center of the clearing. Actually, right where Astraea had first played with the fire. One by one she threw the orbs high into the air. She watched them as they went high, her grin wide.

She looked towards the younger kids and didn't move, Even as the orbs seemed to be aimed right for her head. just before each hit her, it vanished into thin air. As though they had never been there.

She nodded towards Stacey, still not done with her answer.
"If someone likes someone, I could care less. It comes with life experience...maturity."

[fudge0604]

Albus listened to her, and was amazed my those orbs. All of his thoughts was surrounding them, what power he had felt in them, and how home he felt when she called out the water and air orb.
" Can you teach me to make those orbs?" Albus said, his voice determined. He really wanted to learn it,
and he knew much about the ice element. Maturity. How Mature was he?
