First Professor

I waited until I can go to Hogwarts. I waited and trained. First I strengthened my body. One could see the changes in my appearance day by day. I grew a lot faster and taller than my peers. Also, my muscles were a lot more visible than what would be regarded as normal for my age. I had a lot of luck with my parents. Especially my mom. She never asked questions why I did this and why I did that. She just made sure I was okay. My dad helped me out with the training sometimes. He also asked Lydia to come over to spar with me. These days were a lot of fun. Lydia is really strong.

My magic training was a lot more complicated. I had to make sure that neither mom or anyone else noticed anything. So I had to find times where no one was at home. But that still didn't help against that damn Gibly. She found out one day when I was training my magic control over a heavier mass... I failed, it fell and made a loud noise. Of course, Gibly would come and see what was going on. But she never told the others. I don't exactly know why but I thanked her that she didn't.

My magic control grew a lot. I mean a lot! First I could only create a water sphere as big as a medicine ball. But after about five years of training - Yes I am at the golden age of ten right now :) - I could now hold up a water sphere with a diameter of two... That may seem like hardly anything great, but that is just my magic control, not my magic strength. I never tested how far I could go so even I don't know how much I can do. But it seems I can at least create 20 of these big water spheres.

Well, I have high hopes for the school. I wonder if it will exceed them or if it will disappoint me...

Not long after my tenth birthday, some older woman came to visit. Mom greeted her with the name Minerva.

Vanessa: "Long time not seen Professor."

Minerva: "Yes it has been a while. I wanted to see you and your supposedly little genius."

So mom did tell on me? Mom you traitor... I still love you... *pout*

Lysa: "Good day madam."

Minerva: "What great manners. Good day to you little miss."

Vanessa: "Lysa, this is professor McGonagall. She will be one of your teachers in Hogwarts."

Lysa: "Oh, then I am sorry for my language before Professor."

Minerva: "Do not worry about it. Madam is not false. And you couldn't have possibly known me."

She smiled at me... I don't think she smiles that often. She seems more like a strict type.

Vanessa: "You said you came to see her?"

Minerva: "Yes, I would like to see her 'strength' for myself. It may be possible that it will be hard for her to fit in class. So I wanted to make sure I can prevent that."

Vanessa: "Oh... Yes, then Lysa, would you show the professor your swordsmanship?"

Lysa: "I can... Through why should I, if I am allowed to ask?"

Minerva: "Because then I can arrange some courses which are normally only for the older students. But if you already have the foundations for them then why should you wait any longer. It would also help to find friends that are similar to you."

Lysa: "Hmm... Ok. Then come to the backyard."

Hanna came too. So in a group of four, we went to my 'training ground'.
