[A/N: Erm right what did I write the last chapter? xD Later: Nevermind I think I know what to write now, lol.]

[Still in Rose's 3rd year]


Dumbledore's POV

As I was sucking (No shame on you, you dirty-minded people!) on a Lemon-Drop inside my office, the Wards surrounding my office notified me that Professor Ilian Dascalu Valour and his nephew was outside my door. What on earth do those blasted Gifted Originals want now?!

Quickly schooling my features into the perfect 'grandfatherly' mask I told them to enter.

"Good evening gentleman, have a seat. Lemon-Drop? What brings you to me this late at night?" I said offering my calming draught induced Lemon-Drops.

"No, thank you, Albus. We have some official Gifted business to discuss with you. We just got back from the Ministry and wish to discuss some delicate matters with you." Ilian said.

What now?! These bloody Accords are going to give me a headache! They already invaded Hogwarts what more could they possibly want?

"Certainly, what would these 'delicate matters' be? Nothing too serious I hope?" I said as  I gave them my best 'twinkle' smile. The young Valour raised an eyebrow inquisitively at me.

"My uncle and I have been made aware of that Hogwarts have - for the past 2 years - housed a Half-Gifted." Hermes Valour said.

I blanched. How did I not know of their existence?! "Surely you must have made a mistake. If there was a Half-Gifted within these castles' walls I would've known immediately!" I said exasperated. "Clearly you did not know Professor Dumbledore, considering she approached us today with the details of her blood status!" Hermes Valour sneered.

"Calm down Hermes, let's not blame the Headmaster for the girl's reluctance to share her blood status. He was not aware after all." Ilian smirked.

I was inwardly seething. "And what may I ask, is the girl's name? Do you have any proof supporting her claims?" I asked.

Edward Valour smirked once more. "Rose Angela Monroe, I believe she is starting her 3rd year at Hogwarts this year. Her claim is very much valid Albus. We do not take such proclamations lightly, all tests confirm that she is indeed Half-Gifted. Also, the Minister requires that you announce her change in blood status immediately, in regards to the Accords being adhered to of course."

Monroe?! Of all the students it has to be a Slytherin and more specifically HER?

"Of course, wouldn't want the Peace Treaty to be broken now. I'll announce it tomorrow at breakfast. Now if that is all, I would like to have a good night's rest. Good night gentleman." I said dismissing the blasted Originals.

"Of course Albus. We will hold you to your word, no extensions granted. Good night Albus." Ilian said amused. With that they left, leaving me with even more problems than before.

Blasted Accords! They should not be allowed to live with us in the first place! I stayed up until early morning mulling over the latest discovery.

The next day at breakfast

Rose's POV

As we were finishing our breakfast, the Headmaster cleared his throat to gather our attention. "Good morning students I have a short announcement to make of great importance." the old coot said.

"I bet you 10 Galleons it's about your blood status, Angie" Draco whispered. "Bet you 10 Galleons he's going to tell his own version of my blood status discovery" I replied.

"It has come to the school's attention that we have a special Half-Blood in our midst, Miss Monroe care to join me up front?" Dumbledore continued. All heads turned towards me as I stood up from the Slytherin Table, the Hall bustling with curious whispers.

As I made my way towards Dumbledore I put up my mental shields to keep certain prying eyes out of my head, leaving Dumbledore with only my nervous feelings. At that the old bastard actually 'twinkled' at me, most likely trying to 'ease' my nervousness. Finally, I stood next to Dumbledore, head held high.

"Now I know all of you must be dying of curiosity and rest assured you will get your answers promptly. Three years ago Miss Rose Angela Monroe walked into the Great Hall under the impression that she is a Half-Blood witch, half muggle, and half-witch, but it is not entirely true. Yes, she is a Half-Witch but she does not have muggle blood in her..."

'Under the impression?! Maybe for you but I know exactly what I am you manipulative old bastard. Get on with it already!' I thought, seething on the inside.

"Recent sources have informed me late last night that she is, in reality, Half-Gifted. Furthermore-" Dumbledore could not continue any further, for utter chaos has ensued in the Great Hall at the mention of my true blood status. The reactions ranged from shock, outrage to disbelief.

'Shit. I'm screwed.' I thought.

"SILENCE!" Dumbledore roared. "FURTHERMORE Miss. Monroe is to be handled with respect, any negative actions, especially violent actions, against her are in violation of the Gifted Accords and will be punished as such. Now, your Head of House will be handing out your class timetables and classes will commence in 15 minutes. That is all." Dumbledore finished.

Huh, that went better than I expected. Professor Valour must've had an airtight story regarding my blood status to ensure that Dumbledore could not use this for his own gain.

I glanced at my timetable that Professor Snape has given me and see that I have DADA first. Joy...first class with Lockhart, how fun.
