When I woke up I got dressed and did my hair in the bathroom I realized it was way too early to be up but technically I did sleep later than I usually do it was five o'clock, I wasn't supposed to be up until six so I decided to go around the castle. Yes, it was prohibited but who cares I was just going outside, I found myself going to the greenhouse. When I entered I looked around and found an old pot in the back, so I found dirt and created some orchids with roots attached to them because they were rare. Then again I never thought of trying magical plants, so the plant I chose was a Shrivelfig, I loved the fruit and I never saw any in the garden so why not. As I was happily thinking about it the next thing I knew it was in my hands. As I was planting it I heard a gasp. I turned around and there was professor sprout right behind me "p-professor" I Studdard "where did you get that" she asked amazed. I looked at her kind of scared, she eased up a bit and asked again. I eased up a bit too. " I made it with my hands," I said, she looked astonished. I decided to show her to prove it. I decided since she's a Hogwarts herbology teacher she didn't know much about muggle flowers so I made her a bunch of different flowers and strung them into a flower crown. I placed it on her head snapping her out of her thoughts and smiled at her. She smiled back and then told me to come with her. So I followed her to Dumbledore's office, which is when I started to panic. As the professor and I entered he just looked at me and I started crying. They both looked at me concerned, "what's wrong dear" Strout asked, "I'm sorry, am I in trouble for being out of bed early" I asked shyly, trying not to squeak. "Oh, I'm so sorry I didn't tell you, no we just need to talk to Dumbledore about your abilities". As I calmed down, Sprout started boasting about how wonderful my abilities were. I zoned out not caring about how I can grow plants from my hands and wanting some food. Just as I was thinking of cookies, Dumbledore snapped me out of my thoughts by saying my name, "Right now that I have your attention, is there anything else you can do or create?" he asked. I fumbled with my fingers as I explained that I could use spells without a wand and I could talk to snakes, that's right I know parseltongue. But I could also speak to cats, dogs, butterflies, and rabbits. I know it's random. I haven't tried anything else though I didn't even know I could create magical plants

until today. I explained getting more confident with myself "oh wait there is one more thing my mom pushed her finger with a knife on accident when I was little I don't even remember it but she told me about it I was probably like two and I started crying once I saw she got hurt and it was healed immediately, apparently it made me tired so I fell asleep. I don't even know how I did it but I did". They looked amazed at how much I could do but as we were talking it was time for breakfast so we all rushed to the great hall before students arrived, as they piled in I spotted Draco, he was talking to some other Slytherins and was trying to show off. But when I realized he didn't notice me waving to him it made me sad, but I pushed past it and shrugged it off as I saw Stella and iris walking towards me. "Excited for classes'' I asked them iris shrugged as she was shy and didn't talk a lot and Stella was the loudest out of all three of us which was a surprise since I was so energetic but that's beside the point. As Stella was complaining about how she didn't want to do classes and I was just excited to be able to get done with it so I could go to the library. After most of my classes were done I didn't have to pay attention since I already knew it, now it was potions my least favorite subject mostly because I never practiced it so I wasn't good at it. I had to pay attention so it was full and I was already getting the hang of it before someone knocked into me spilling an explosive ingredient into it, my potion erupted in the classroom. Professor Snape strode over at me scowling. "You owe me a new currency with a month's detention Riddle '' there were giggles from some Ravenclaw and a look of pity from some other Hufflepuff" But sir it wasn't my fault" I blurted out, he glared at me "were you the one who poured the powder into the potion "yes but-" "and was it your potion" 'yes but-" "where the ingredients in your hand's ms Riddle" "yes but please let me explain". He cut me off again "that's enough, I've heard what I need to". By the end of the lesson, I hated to snape, well hated a strong word Mabey strongly disliked snape. I didn't know why he hated me though well whatever. As I was scrubbing cauldrons professor Dumbledore walked in. snape looked up, "what brings you to hear" he said dumbledore replied with a short "Freya" Snape looked over to me looked over to him and back down to my work I had two left. "Fine, you can take her" I hopped up and followed Dumbledore, when we were in the hallways he asked "what did you do" in a kind tone. As I explained, someone bumped into me causing me to spill the ingredients, making the potion explode. Then I gasped, he looked over at me surprised because I stopped talking to think. "Do you think I should make him a flower crown made of black roses and bake him cookies to say sorry" I gasped again not giving him enough time to speak "I never gave you one usually I make my friend's ones so would you like one too" he smiled down at me "I would love one" indirectly saying that he would be my friend he continued "now would you like some dinner you missed it because you were working??" I thought for a second "I know this may be against the rules but can I make some of my mom's cookies'' he thought for a second before saying "yes let's go" I looked at him surprised "you want to help" I questioned him "what about your pretty robes" I looked at him with pity. "It won't be a problem" he replied warmly "ok" I replied excitedly starting to skip a little as I walked. Once we got to the kitchen there were no house elves so we could do whatever without disturbing them. I didn't even realize how late it was until I looked outside. It was probably nine because it was past dinner, meaning we still had an hour until I had to be in bed. As I was instructing dumbledore on what to do as I was mixing he looked to be enjoying himself. Then after 20 minutes, they were in the oven ready to bake. After I pulled them out after ten minutes because they were done. As we were talking letting them cool the subject came up of why he asked to have me come with him. "Ah yes I almost forgot," he said, "I wanted to know if we meaning the staff of Hogwarts can train you after dinner hours meaning you would have to weather rush to your common room or have about thirty minutes left of course you would have break days". I happily accepted and was handed a schedule

Monday: Professor Dumbledore with healing

Tuesday: professor Sprout with conjuring

Wednesday: rest day

Thursday: professor Flitwick with accelerated charms

Friday: speaking to animals with Hagrid

Saturday: rest day

Sunday: rest day

"Do you agree with the schedule, you will also have a pass to be out until eleven o'clock at night an hour past everyone else because of your training." of course I agreed I would be getting one on one training with teachers of Hogwarts like how great is that. As we enjoyed my cookies we sat in silence. "Well you should get to bed before curfew" I looked at the clock on the wall that read 9:50 and I thanked him. I waved goodbye to him as I walked away. When I opened the door to the common room Iris and Stella was waiting for me "what were you doing out so late" they both screamed "I'll tell you later it's late let's go to bed ok" I said tired already walking away from them. They both followed me into the dorm and we went to our bed, careful not to wake the other two sleeping girls and I changed in a flash and collapsed onto my bed. Then I fell into a dreamless sleep, but it didn't stay like that.
