Chapter 7-Tests

As day dawned upon the Burrow again, Harry was the first one to get up. He opened his eyes and was shocked to see the sun almost rising. A thin line of light was visible just above the horizon. Looking at the clock beside him the numbers 5:58 blinked back at him. It was quite early and Harry was sure that Molly and Arthur woke at six-thirty. He took the opportunity and grabbed new clothes. stepping into the shower he let all the tension erase away and thought about the day's planning. A busy day.

Harry got out after what felt like an hour but in reality was just fifteen minutes. The house was eerily quiet so Harry pull on his sneakers. The state of his sneakers were tatters but then he remembered he was actually the Harry if the future! The Harry who knew wandless magic and undetectable magic! With a quick wave of his hand he fixed the torn shoelaces, the sole near the toes and a small hole on the side. With shoes as good as new, Harry set off for a nice morning walk.

The cool air blew on his face and the heat of the burning sun was still absent. He walked around the grounds of the Burrow and when the sun hit with a force he stayed in the shade.

An hour later he entered the Burrows kitchen feeling fully refreshed and happy. As he entered he saw Molly and Ginny awake and already set on making breakfast. He offered to help but all he got was two scowls thrown in his way. So he sat on the table and chatted with them.

"Today is a big day. Are you sure you want to give it a try Ginny dear?" asked Molly.

"Yeah mom!" she said. Then with a fleeting look at Harry she said "Besides I'm sure I'll be able to win..."

"Well if you say so Ginny." said Molly. Then she asked Harry, "What are you doing so awake? Did you go for a walk? I always like to go for walks but I'm too busy..."

"Yeah... I went for a walk... I dunno why I woke up so early! Maybe because I was so excited for today? I don't know..."

Molly smiled and set a plate before him. Ginny turned to Harry, "So what are your plans for today?"

"Well first I'll be rooting for you," he said with a grin "Then I have a meeting set with the Professor and Uncle Remus. It's important so we were hoping to head out for it..."

Molly frowned at that. What important subjects would an eleven year old have? She knew it was none of her business, but she couldn't help the worried curiosity.

As she was thinking and cooking, Arthur came down for breakfast. "Oh! Good morning Harry! Ginny! How nice to see you all awake!" He sat down on the table and Molly set a plate for him.

"Good morning Dad!" said Harry and Ginny together.

Arthur grinned and settled himself down. Molly served Harry, Ginny and Arthur some toast with bacon and eggs. They ate in peace and silence. Arthur finished first and hurriedly put on his travelling cloak. "Molly I'll be leaving now. I have to go." he said while giving Molly a kiss. "Goodbye dear! I'll floo you Ginny's results..." And with that Arthur left for the day.

"Ginny dear do you remember the time Albus said for today?"

Ginny's smile crept off her face. "Umm... No?"

"Ginny! How can you not know when your own test is! That's just being irresponsible!" shouted Molly.

Harry interjected before the fight got serious, "I was talking to the professor and he said maybe around eleven..."

"ELEVEN?!" screeched Molly, "Why didn't you tell me that earlier?! That's in just a few hours! Oh how can I prepare myself!"

"Mum it's not you who has to prepare herself it's ME!" said Ginny. "Stop worrying so much! You're going to burst a nerve!"

Molly looked as nervous as she could be. It was understandable... It was a test which would affect her daughter's future! How could she not worry! She had the right to… She took and deep breath and tried to look as normal as she could be. By the looks on her children’s faces she seemed to be failing miserably.

One by one, everyone came down Ron being last. By ten forty-five Molly had everyone ready to be in the presence of a guest. Harry wished Molly would have some moments to relax, so he pulled small tricks by his wandless magic and made her work less. Soon it was eleven and almost everyone was quivering in anticipation….

With a small pop, Professor Dumbledore entered into the living room of the Burrow. His eyes swept a glance around the whole room and they twinkled as they took in the excitement that filled the room.

His eyes feel onto the star of the moment. “Are you ready miss Weasley?”

“As I’ll ever be…” replied Ginny. “So what do I have to do again for the test?” she asked.

“Oh nothing! Nothing at all!” he said as his eyes twinkled. “All you must do is stand still and concentrate on your magic!” Ginny stood in the center of the room staying absolutely still as Dumbledore raised his wand to her. He whispered a small spell which Harry recognized instantly.

“Gradus Ostendere Magicae”

‘Reveal magic levels… a clever spell’ thought Harry. Suddenly the room was filled with a bright yellow light. Its was a mellow yellow which brought calm upon everyone. Seemingly opposite to the fiery Ginny everyone knew. For the few seconds it was there, everyone forgot about any worry they had. They were just staring at the light which was coming from Ginny. The girl in question herself was shocked at the light coming from her…

The light with a ‘whoosh’ went out and everyone was blinded for a moment. The room was back in its familiar semi-darkness and the light was gone.

“Well done miss Weasley! You seem to have quite a large level of magic… Normal students like your brother Ronald would have a dark or light red which would turn to a light orange when they pass out of school… You have a much higher level then that…”

‘I wonder what my level would be…’ thought Harry.

“Would you like to try Harry?” said Dumbledore, surprising Harry. “Umm… Yes… If that could be possible…”

“Yes it is…” replied the Professor. Harry took Ginny’s place and she sat down on the couch. Dumbledore murmured the same spell on Harry. The room suddenly burst into a blinding white light. No one was able to see anything. The light was pure and untainted light. With a flash it retracted back into Harry and everyone was able to open their eyes finally.

“Wow Harry… That was amazing…” whispered Ginny.

“Yeah mate… That was fantastic!” chorused the twins.

“Bloody hell!” was all Ron could say.

Molly and Percy were too shocked to say anything. “Harry, that was some powerful magic that you just conjured! Quite amazing!” Said the Professor.

“Thank you” whispered Harry. He knew that would happen… The same thing had happened in the future when all the rebellions started. Harry tried to change the topic off of him.

“What about Ginny? Did she get in?” Harry asked Dumbledore.

“Well I did see that she was more powerful then normal… And we are all fully ready for her… But,”
