Chapter 1: Discovering her Element
The way he looked at me, it made me melt and I couldn't help but smile. He looked at me the way any girl wants to be looked at like they look at you in movies. We were back at Hogwarts in the courtyard, practising spells and finding our element. Draco and I started as friends in 1st year as we were both put into Slytherin house, then by 4th year we were inseparable. We are now in 7th year, our final year at Hogwarts and we have been together for 3 years.
Everyone had an Element that they connected to. Draco had found his, his was fire. He could control all aspects of it, all he had to do is say "Accio fire" and he could do whatever with it. I had yet to find my element. What was mine going to be? Water? Fire? Air? Earth? Or Spirit, meaning I could control them all, like my grandmother.
Draco was very good at encouraging me to help me find my element. He helped me with the techniques he used to find his, none of them worked of course because we were still here trying.
"Come on Jess, you can do this," he said encouragingly "I believe in you!". It was things like this that used to put me off because all I wanted to do was fling my arms around him and kiss him.
"It's useless" I sighed "I can't do it"
Draco frowned at me then walked over, grabbed my face in his soft, warm hands, looked me in the eye and said: "you can do anything, my love." He pulled me close to him, kissed my forehead and said: "Which elements have you tried today?" I had to think about it but before I could even reply, the bell tolled and lunch was over, time to go back to class.
The care of magical creatures was my favourite class, I wanted to own many creatures when I left Hogwarts, maybe even start my own sanctuary for abandoned or mistreated creatures. Today we went to the Black Lake to look at Grindylows, this can only go badly. For anyone who doesn't know what a Grindylow is... you're lucky. They're disgusting looking creatures with green skin, but not a nice green, a moss green with a tiny hint of yellow. Grindylows have long spiny fingers and 4 tiny horns on their heads. Instead of feet, they have tentacles like octopi.
We arrived at the Black Lake and Professor Hagrid instructed us not to get too close to the water just in case we fall in.
"Grindylows may live near the bottom" Hagrid bellowed "but if you fall in they won't hesitate to come up and drag you down into the depths"
Everyone looked at him with eyes wide open and utter shock on our face.
"If ye remember the Tri-Wizard Tornament, young Mr Potter here got dragged down by them and nearly didn't live to tell the tale" Hagrid reminded us all.
Draco sniggered "Yeah but Potter also helped Voldermort come back at the same time"
Everyone looked at Draco, including me. I gave him a frown as if to say "don't remind us". Draco rolled his eyes, apologised to me and put his arm around my waist.
The class went on and Hagrid told us how dangerous Grindylows are. Then Goyle did the unthinkable, he dived into the Black Lake. Shocked, everyone stood frozen, except me, I was ready to jump into the water myself. I took out my wand, but why? I felt energy surging me to do it. My element? Was it water?
"ACCIO WATER" I screamed and swished my wand.
Next thing I knew, the water parted and Goyle was at the bottom of the 100ft deep trench I had made. I DID IT. I HAD FOUND MY ELEMENT! Draco looked at me with such a smile on his face but everyone else looked at me as if id just murdered someone. Why? I didn't know until we were walking back to the castle.
Draco grabbed me and put his arm over my shoulder as we were walking back.
"Jess, I know you don't like me threatening people but I had to know why everyone was judging you," he said with a scared tone.
"Did you find out?" I asked, confused.
He was hesitant to reply. Eventually, he said "Yes and well its a bit strange"
I looked at him confused "Draco what is it?"
Draco stopped walking, he sat down on a nearby boulder, grabbed my hands, looked me in the eye and said in a quiet voice "You're the only student in Hogwarts that can control water. There is only a 0.1% chance of wizards getting that element."
I stared at him, tears in my eyes and sobbed "So I'm a freak!" I couldn't stop bawling.
Draco pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, lifted my head and wiped the tears off my face before pulling me in and kissing me. "You are not a freak. You are the most beautiful and amazing girl I have ever laid eyes on. The moment I met you in the first year, I knew you were the one for me. Now come on, we have to get back and get changed for dinner. It's our last one before the end of the year before we leave school and you miss are coming home with me this time."
