She's a bad liar. i hope i'm first to post!!

She's not lying! She really didn't do it! So, who did?

There's only two other people who were present for both flame burstings. Dennis and Holly.

No, all of the Gryffie First Years were there... think about another certain boy in the trio... and what he obviously feels about Lindsey... and what she obviously feels about Dennis... Penny's in the air!

Oooooooooooooooh !!

Ok I am really confused...Who did it???
Can't wait for more...cliffie

Sarah

I'm soooooo evil! :evillaugh

I promise, you will find out in the next about 2 chapters!

'Right, this is the Fat Lady, but she isn't really fat!' he said the last part in a loud whisper so the Portrait would hear him. 'Ooh! Hello, Dennis!' the Fat Lady gushed.
'Hello, ma'am!' Dennis smiled.
'Why do we need to meet a Portrait?' Ben asked moodily. She exchanged a look with Holly as if to say 'What's his problem?
'Because,' the Fat Lady explained, 'I let you into the Common Room!'
'Yes, now, the password is Bubotuber Pus!' Dennis told them as the Portrait opened to reveal a hole. 'Woah!' Lindsey gasped. She tried to climb in, but was a little bit short...
'Need a hand?' Dennis laughed.
'Um. Yes, please.' Lindset grinned. Dennis helped her through then proceeded to help the others. Lindsey stood up. 'Wow!' Lindsey gasped.
'C'mon,Lindsey, move your bum!' she heard Holly yell.
'Oops!' Lindsey giggled as she moved forwards. The First Years all grouped in the middle.
'Right, boys dorms!' Dennis motioned to the left. 'Girls dorms!' Dennis motioned to the right. 'Now, boys. Don't try and get into the girls dorm...' Dennis said mischieviously.
'Why?' a boy shouted.
'Who wants to demonstrate?' Dennis smiled evily.
'I will!' Ben shouted as he stepped forward.
'Right, climb up the stairs!' Ben ran up the stairs, but on the sixth step, a loud noise was sounded and the stairs changed into a slide! Ben yelled as he fell down at Dennis's feet. 'You evil little...' Ben muttered as he got up.
'Maybe so, but now you know what'll happen! Scientific research!' Dennis laughed.
'What's scientific?' Holly asked.
'Don't worry, just a Muggle subject finding... well. I bid you all; goodnight!' Dennis bowed. The First Years clapped and ran up to their alloted dorms, chattering loudly.

I like the boy repeller. hahaha!!

FIRST TO POST! *gets a panda sock purse identical to mine*

I know! I ish lovesh it!

oh wow! quite a bit for me to catch up on! great posts!

Thank you!

Nice one .. I like the slide especially ..

Slides! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Hmm... SHALL POST ANOTHER!

'C'mon, Lindsey!' Holly urged her.
'I'll be there in a minute, save me a bed!' Lindsey shouted over the chatters. She walked up to Dennis, who was sat on a couch. She sat down beside him with her head rested on her knees. 'Dennis?' Lindsey said as he jumped.
'Goodness, Lindsey, you scared me!' Dennis laughed.
'Are you alright?'
'Not really, you?'
'Everyone thinks I'm a pyromaniac!' Lindsey rolled her eyes.
'I've just come back to Hogwarts for the first time since Colin died.' Dennis said quietly. 'Beat that...' he said as a tear ran down his cheek.
'It'll be OK, Dennis, it will!' Lindsey said softly.
'Go on, Lindsey, off to bed.' Dennis said. Feeling best not to argue, Lindsey hugged him and left.
'Where were you?' Holly glared at her.
'I was comforting Dennis, his brother died in the war.' Lindsey said, seeing if Holly would take up the challenge to argue back. She didn't.
'Oh. Lindsey, do you like Dennis?' Holly asked.
Lindsey sighed. 'Yes. I suppose I do.' Lindsey said, looking away. 'Now, you said at dinner you know why Nivera hates me. Why?' Lindsey asked, cocking her head to one side.
'Well, you know Ben likes you-'
'WHAT!?'
'I think Nivera likes him!' Holly said, ignoring Lindseys outburst.
'Ben likes me? Oh, crud, Holly! What do I do!?' Lindsey groaned.
'Umm... just don't lead him on?' Holly suggested. 'He shouldn't get hurt like that.'
'OK, will, or shall I say, won't do!' Lindsey smiled.
'Now, what about the fire thing?' a girl in the dorm asked. Lindsey and Holly jumped, remembering that they weren't alone. They looked at the girl and the girl beside her. They both had long black hair and green eyes. They were identical. 'Twins?' Holly mouthed.
'Sorry, I'm Kate and this is-' Kate began.
'Leyla! Nice t'meetcha! And-' Leyla continued.
'You two are?' they both finished.
'Hey, don't forget me!' A third girl piped up. She had shoulder length blonde hair and bright blue eyes. 'I'm Natalia, but call me that and I will curse you!' she laughed. 'Call me Nat or Tali!' Nat grinned.
'OK, so Kate, Leyla, Nat, Holly and Lindsey' Lindsey said as she pointed around at them all.

Whoa ! I kinda hinted that Ben likes Lindsey ..

So Kate and Leyla are really twins ?
Nice thing they've got there .. finishing one's sentences ..

FIRST POSTER! *gets a pair of white converses*

I know! Now, does that make anyone suspicious about the fire?

Yup! I was sorta going for a 'Gred and Forge' 'cause I love zem so much!

Technically it's a new day over here in England! So, you get another!

They all sat on the floor, in a circle. 'So, how did you set them on fire?' Kate asked.
'I really didn't! Peeves must've done it!' Lindsey laughed.
'And, what did we hear about you liking Dennis?' Leyla waggled her eyebrows. Lindsey blushed and said nothing.
'And what's this about Ben liking you?' Nat grinned. 'Dang, I need some tips, barely a day gone and you've got boys fawning over you!' Lindsey blushed at this sentence. The rest of the time, the girls spent talking about home and what they were looking forward to, and generally everything about themselves!
A COUPLE OF WEEKS LATER
Over the next few weeks, no more incidents of firey things had happened, which meant the gossip about Lindsey faded eventually. All of the girls had become almost inseparable, the only time they were apart was when Lindsey was chatting with her new friend Dennis. They knew of her crush, so left so she could be alone. She did not appreciate this as it made it all the more obvious... As Lindsey woke up, she looked out of the window. It was quite a dull day with grey clouds everywhere. When she looked up all of the girls faces were an inch from hers. 'AH!' she shrieked, falling out of the bed.
'I'd say she's awake!' one of the twins grinned.
'How do we tell you two apart again?' Lindsey asked again.
'Well, Kate has a freckle on her nose, I don't.' the twin assumably Leyla told them.
'Ah.' Lindsey said as she looked at her watch. 'OMGODRIC!' She had picked up some expressions from the girls. 'We only have 5 minutes! Hurry!' Lindsey gasped as she saw they were all in their pajamas. The girls shrieked and quickly chucked any clothes on. 'Nat, your robes on inside out!' Kate pointed out as they were walking.
'Bum.' Nat mumbled as she took it off and rectified it. The girls ran down to the Great Hall, sat down, and started to eat. Whilst they were chatting, Lindsey looked up at the Staff Table. A teacher had gone stiff and her eyes blank...

COME BACK READERS! Has got a long chapter here that explains everything...

'Guys! Look at Trelawney!' Lindsey whispered to them. Others in the Great Hall had noticed too and were passing it along. Soon everyone was staring at her. Then a voice unlike any other came out of Trelawney.
'Tonight... when the planets align!
An Element each... shall be distributed!
To four... of the new blood!
One of each trait...
Each the best at it...
TONIGHT!'
Then Trelawney snapped back and coughed. Professor McGonagall stood up, shaking. ' Everybody out except First Years!' she shouted shakily. People looked reluctant to get out. 'NOW!' She barked. 'Vincent, take Sybil to Madame Pomfrey!' she ordered the Arithmancy teacher who nodded and helped Trelawney out. The four Head of Houses, Professor Sprout, Professor Flitwick, Professor Spinnet, the new Transfiguration teacher and Professor Binley. the new Potions Master lead the older years out. Professor McGonagall walked to the front. 'First Years, to the front!' McGonagall ordered. 'Right. I have been desciphering this Prophecy in my head and have come to a conclusion. One person from each House is going to be given the power to control one of the following elements: Water, fire, earth and air. W e don't know who it is or how the powers will be reve-' But she was cut off by a scream. A Hufflepuff girl that they had heard being Sorted first. She was sitting on a ball of air and the wind blew to the front and stopped beside McGonagall. 'Kate Anasi. You have been gifted with air!' a woman said softly, but loud enough for everyone to hear. The Hufflepuffs gasped before starting to cheer for the girl who looked surprised at the least! They were interrupted by a gasp from the Ravenclaw Table. A boy was standing on a wave of water looking terrified, but knowingly at the same time. The wave proceeded to the front of the room with the boy trying to keep his balance as he grinned. Probably never done THAT before! Lindsey thought. The boy was now on the wave, next to Kate Anasi. 'John River. You have been gifted with water!' a different woman called out.
'Holy Quaffle! These are the Founders speaking!' McGonagall gasped.
'So... that was Helga Hufflepuff and Rowena Ravenclaw talking?' a girl asked.
'Yes!' McGonagall replied breathlessly. Lindsey looked over at the Slytherin Table as Nivera started to shake and was lifted up by a pillar of stone. The pillar proceeded to pass her to a new one which passed her along, like a slide. Eventually she got to the front, just when the pillars were starting to run out. 'Nivera Wollock. You have been gifted with earth!' a man said quietly, but forcefully. Lindsey looked at the girls and Ben, with her mouth hung open. 'Lindsey... I feel like I'm going to burn up...' Ben moaned. Lindsey realised what this meant and spoke up.
'Professor! I think Ben's the last, he says he's burning up!' Lindsey shouted.
'I'm afraid we have to wait. We don't know for sure yet- Miss Jenkins!' McGonagall said firmly as Lindsey gasped. Her body was on fire, as if fire was running through her veins instead of blood! She looked at her friends as she started to rise up. They were staring at her in shock. She looked down to see what was holding her up to find a Heliopath! She gasped as the girls cried 'Lindsey!' and Ben looked shocked. He had been sure it was him! 'That's a Heliopath!' Nat shouted. Lindsey looked at the horse like figure to see it was on fire! The Heliopath reared and galloped to the front, stopping next to McGonagall. 'Lindsey Jenkins. You have been gifted with fire!' a man boomed confidently.

HA! I WAS CROSSING MY FINGERS WHEN I SAID LINDSEY HADN'T DONE IT!

Oh it was really her !
Lindsey !
And what happens next ? Will they get into a competition ?

YAY! READERS! Nope, no competition! You'll see...

oooh wow this just got really good...what happens next?!!

Hmm... I IS GONNA POST! Ooh! BTW ^^^ *gets a pen* First to post!

OH MY GODRIC! I CAN CONTROL FIRE! Lindsey screamed in her head. The Great Hall went silent as the ball of air let Kate downand the wave John was on disappeared, dropping him on the floor. Nivera's pillar slowly descended, as she jumped off and Lindsey's Heliopath lowered down, letting Lindsey jump off before disappearing. The First Years watched on in awe. McGonagall turned to them. 'You four are to report to my office this evening at 8PM. The password is Kennilworthy.' McGonagall said breathlessly. 'First Years! Tell nobody. Only these four can decide who can know. They will decide, they may even tell the whole House if they want.' McGonagall barked as she walked out. The First Years were silent for about 5 minutes before they all got up and ran to their Common Rooms. 'Dennis told me about the Prophecy! Who has been chosen from Gryffindor?' the Fat Lady asked.
'Me.' Lindsey said quietly.
'Bubotuber Pus!' Holly said firmly, before the Fat Lady could reply. The Portrait swung open and they all climbed in. She saw Dennis and whispered to Holly;
'Meeting in the Girls Dorm in 10 minutes' Holly nodded and ran to tell the others. Lindsey walked over and sat next to him. 'Dennis?' Lindsey said quietly.
'Hey, Lindsey! What was all that about?' Dennis asked worriedly.
'We're not allowed to say who, but I am.' Lindsey said breathlessly. Dennis cocked his head to one side in confusion. 'One person from each House got gifted with an Element. Hufflepuff, air, Ravenclaw, water, Slytherin, earth and Gryffindor, fire...'
'What!?' Dennis exploded. 'Who's ours!?'
'First Years aren't allowed to say. Only the four chosen can...'
'Then why are you telling me?'
'Look Dennis!' Lindsey snapped. She was about to try something she hadn't done before, and needed to concentrate. She concentrated on her hands. She let the fire burn through her, hotter and hotter, getting closer and closer to her hands. But she didn't scream. It wasn't painful. She looked at her hand. A ball of fire was in it.

Fire ! fire ! fire !
*needs an extinguisher*
Come on !! Show Dennis !

YAY! A reader is back! ^ *gets a mini car* I'll post another, just because I'm happy!

'What the-?' Dennis started.
'Isn't it obvious? It's me! I was chosen for Gryffindor! I can control fire!' Lindsey frowned. Dennis's eye's widened. Lindsey concentrated and put her hand out. Then she started to cry. 'Whaa?' Dennis exclaimed.
'I'm a ticking time bomb!' Lindsey exploded. 'Remember how I set the statue on fire? And Holly's bag? What if someone made me so mad I set THEM on fire? And killed them?' Lindsey sobbed.
'I'm sure you wouldn't... you couldn't! You wouldn't want to hurt anyone. You're too good of a person!' Dennis said softly.
'Bu-but what if-' Lindsey was cut off as Dennis pulled her into a hug. She leapt up. 'I have to go.' Lindsey burst as she ran away, leaving Dennis confused and hurt. She ran up to the Girls Dorm and took her place in the huddle. 'What's wrong?' Holly asked as she noticed the tear tracks down Lindsey's cheek.
'I-I left Dennis as he was hugging me!' Lindsey sobbed.
'Why?' Nat asked. Lindsey sighed. She had never told anyone else why she feared being touched by boys.
'I-I had a brother. He died when I was 9. He and I were REALLY close. He always used to hug me and comfort me, as my dad isn't much of a hugger. And then he died. He got cancer. And now I don't like boys touching me as it reminds me of him.' Lindsey sobbed.
'Oh my Godric, Lindsey-' Leyla began.
'Did you tell him?' Kate finished.
'N-No, I ran off!' Lindsey said as she tried to stop her crying.
'Go see him later.' Nat urged.
'I-I will...' Lindsey smiled waterly.
'Right. Now that's out of the way, WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?' Holly burst.
'I can control fire. Watch.' Lindsey said as she yet again felt the feeling of fire through her veins and her hand burst on fire. The others looked on in awe until she put it out.
'That-'
'Was-'
'Freaking-'
AMAZING!' the twins gasped.
'I wonder what McGonagall wants?' Nat pondered.
'Hmm... I don't know, maybe Lindsey can control fire, no wait, it can't be that, loads of witches and wizards can do that!' Holly said sarcastically.

I get a bit like that sometimes. If people come too close I mean. I get a pain in my stomach. Even pets! Stupid personal space bubble... *grumbles*

Wow you've been adding quite a lot. Yay! This is exciting! And oh my godric I think that I laughed for such a long time when she said that!

Thank you! I say Godric too! I've got loads written out, I just need to type it up, I spent a week writing! ^ *Gets a cheesepuff!*
