Ginny smiled down at the letter in her hands before she looked back up at Draco sitting at the table trying to persuade Ava to eat her eggs. She let out a silent giggle when he resorted to silly facial expressions to get her to eat them. She walked over and leaned over his chair and placed a quick kiss on his cheek before she sat down and handed him the letter.

"She was sorted into Slytherin," she said with a smirk.

Draco gave a wide smile before reading the letter from Harper. "That's my girl."

Ginny just shook her head. "I don't want to even think about what the next few days will bring." she sighed in amusement before turning to Scorpius and Ember who were both quiet this morning. "Not very vocal this morning, something on your mind?"

Scorpius just looked up at her and shook his head before he went back to his food, while Ember, on the other hand, looked like she wanted to say something but decided against it.

"Raven seems like a very sweet girl, when do you plan to see her again?" Ginny asked her son whose nose was in a book as he took a bite of his toast.

He just shrugged without looking up.

Ginny just nodded at his lack of conversation. "What about Noah? When does he plan to start working with his dad?" she asked, looking at Ember.

"Why does it matter? You guys hate him anyway."

Draco and Ginny exchanged a quick look.

"We didn't say we hated him, sweetie, we are just being cautious," Ginny explained.

"Of what? All because his father and his uncle work at the Ministry and his father asked to help me fine tune my powers makes them all sketchy?" she snapped.

"Calm down, that's not what we're saying-"

"That is what you're saying, you know they could actually help people....people like me.....like us."

"What kind of help do you think they could possibly offer?" Draco asked her, folding his hands and resting his elbows on the table.

"How to control them, how to use them, how to make them more powerful."

"Yes, but you don't have trouble controlling them, you know how to use them and there is no reason for your powers to become more powerful," Draco stated. "You need to focus on bettering yourself, not your powers. So stop focusing on trying to perfect those when you have a whole life ahead of you that needs attention."

She just looked her father, she wanted to fight him on what he said, but she stopped to let his words sink in. Why did she want her powers to become stronger? There really was no reason for it, she almost thought it was just because she wanted to be better than Scorpius when it came to their powers. She let all her anger that was bubbling up, calm down before she nodded at his words and then excused herself and left the room.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

A wave of heat filled her body, all the way to the end of her fingertips and down to her toes. She couldn't tell if it was real or just part of a dream she was having that she couldn't wake up from. Why was she in so much pain? Why was her body screaming for relief and it didn't come? A tingling feeling started to run throughout her body, she could feel the freezing cold starting to fill her veins bringing some of that relief her mind was begging for. Soon the coldness became unbearable and a sharp pain ran through her head as she grabbed it in agony releasing a frustrated growl as the throbbing in her head grew. Once more she felt this eruption of heat explode in the pit of her stomach and spread like a wildfire throughout her limbs making her eyes finally snap open as she jolted up out of her sleep.
