"Today will be the last practice for you, but also to go over all of your powers and to learn more about them."
McGonagall explained as I stepped inside the classroom, the weekend before the exams starts.

I nodded.
"Will I practice them as well?"
I ask, looking at the Professor as she took one one big book from a pile.

"Certainly, yes. It would be sad knowing that you have extraordinary powers, but not knowing how to use it.
She had a little grin on her face as she said it.

She instructed to help her move all the tables and chairs aside, against the wall, so that there could be space to practice. We used 'Wingardium Leviosa'.

"Are we settled?"
She asks as soon as I moved the last chair.

I looked around to make sure that all the stuff are out of the way. I nodded once I made double sure.

"Good."
She opened the book and scanned the pages until she suddenly stopped and put her pointer finger somewhere on the page.

She looked at me over her glasses.
"Firstly we will go over the four most common magical abilities of your power. The -"

"The Four elements of the earth."
I finished. McGonagall gave me an impressive look.

"That's correct." She replied. "Can you name them?"

I nodded.
"Water, fire, wind and earth."

Before McGonagall could correct me, I began to speak again.
"Wind is Aero kinesis. Earth is Geokinesis. Water is Hydrokinesis. And fire is Pyrokinesis."

"Well done, Miss Powell."
McGonagall said, looking very impressed.

"Thank you, Professor." I smiled. "I've been studying them."

"That is good."

"But I'm not well practiced yet."
I mumbled.

She gave me a soft look.
"Not to worry. We will teach you, and by the end of the night, you will be a natural."

"We?"
I ask, confused.

She only smiled and walked over to the door, and opened it to reveal...

"I would never pass an opportunity to teach a student of my house for one last time."
Flitwick beamed as he waddled through the door.

"I only volunteered to help you use your powers beter than last time."
Snape spoke lowly as he glided into the classroom.

At least he cares. Deep inside.

"The moons of Saturn tells me that powers like yours could be used well in tough situations."
Trelawny drawled out as she walked in.

No way, really? I never knew. I rolled my eyes at my sarcastic thoughts.

"It is always a pleasure to be able to teach you, Miss Powell."
Sprout smiled, walking in.

"You are a fast learner, just like in my flying class."
Madam Hooch eyed me with a glint as she speedwalks into the classroom.
