Celestina Ashley: An Original HP Fanfiction

Instructions

Chapter Six Celestina knocked on the door of the Headmaster's office. "Come in!" said Professor Dumbledore's voice. She pushed the door open, and saw that the teachers from every class she was taking were there. "Urm, good evening, professors," said Celestina. "Good evening, Celestina," said Professor Dumbledore. "I have heard that you have been behaving excellently in your lessons?" "Yes, Professor. Well, at least that's what my teachers say," said Celestina. "Ashley has been performing excellent magic in classes, Dumbledore," said Professor McGonagall. "And what has she done well?" asked Professor Dumbledore. "She performed a spell non-verbally," said Professor McGonagall. "Hmm. That is impressive," said Professor Dumbledore. "And what have you decided on?" "We have decided to move Celestina up two years, to the third year," said Professor Flitwick, the Charms professor. "Ah, alright," said Professor Dumbledore. "But you shall have my approval, first. Show me your magical ability, Celestina, and I shall allow this. Take out your wand, Celestina." Celestina focused on the day where Hagrid had told her she was a witch, and thought about it, imagined it, let her heart be filled with the happy feeling, then said: "Expecto Patronum!" A silver fox burst out of Celestina's wand. "I've been practicing," said Celestina. Everyone in the room clapped. "I approve of you to become a third-year!" said Professor Dumbledore. "Never in my life have I seen a Patronus cast by a first-year!" "Thank you, sir." "Professor McGonagall, please prepare a new timetable for Celestina. Celestina, please inform Professor McGongall of the elective classes you're taking in the third year. There are Arithmancy, Ancient Runes, Divination, Muggle Studies, and Care of Magical Creatures." "Could you do that again, please, Ashley, it was simply magical," said Professor Sinistra, the Astronomy professor. "The Patronus?" said Celestina. "Expecto Patronum!" The same silver fox burst from Celestina's wand. Professor Sinistra smiled. Celestina yawned. "You shall go to bed, Celestina. Now, I'll give you two days' time to go over your choice of electives. By Wednesday, you shall give Professor McGonagall your choices. Good eve-" "I almost forgot, Dumbledore!" said Madam Hooch, the flying professor, "I'm offering Celestina a spot in the Slytherin Quidditch team. They're missing a Chaser." "Do you accept, Celestina?" asked Professor Dumbledore, looking at her. "Yes, sir," said Celestina. "Good. I'll ask Flint when the training session is." "Night, Celestina. You may leave." "Good night, Professor." She left for the Slytherin dormitory, jumped on her green four-poster bed, and fell asleep instantly.
