Summary: Harry Potter is no average boy... Azura Potter is no average girl. When this girl takes the boy away from the lies he was forced to live with what will he do? Get revenge? Or just save the world? Join me and my characters as they embark on a crazy adventure.
Prologue Harry Potter sat in his room crying softly. Wishing that he could be normal, that he could have his parents and that he wouldn't be alone with his guilt. Like every summer before, he sat alone in his room. He hadn't eaten since the end of the school feast. His aunt would leave scraps at his door and that's about it. He wouldn't eat it so he gave it to Hedwig his owl. For two whole weeks no one heard from him and soon Dumbledore grew worried about the young man. When Order members came to check up on him they found him unconscious and barely alive. They took him away immediately to the Head Quarters of the Order of the Phoenix. There his life would be turned upside down yet again.
Chapter One: Hatred Only Leads to More Hatred...
"What will we tell his sister?" a unknown voice asked.
"That her brother starved himself to almost death." said another unknown voice.
"We can't tell her that! She'll blow us to pieces!" Harry heard some shuffling.
"And if we lie to her she will never trust us again. She has been searching everywhere for this boy. At last we found him and the Order were stupid enough to not check up on him like they promised." said the second voice.
"Will you shut up! I think he's coming to." shouted a third voice.
Harry woke up in the Head Quarters. He searched with his eyes for the voices he heard but now he heard nothing.
"He heard us you fool!" Said a fourth voice.
"He's been asleep for weeks! How was I too know that he decided to wake in the middle of the discussion!" Said the first voice.
"Now we'll have to explain what he heard you moron." Said the third voice.
"Who are you?" Harry's voice cracked as he asked the voices who they were.
"We are known as the Phoenix's. Your Order has put us to shame really with all its failures." Said the first voice.
"Do you have names?" Harry asked next while sweeping the room with eyes again.
"I'm sorry we can't become visible yet. Not until a friend of ours arrives which should be shortly. Our names are as follows, Mine is Emerald, Amber, Ruby and Onyx. Basically three girls and one boy." said Emerald.
"What do you want with me?" Harry asked.
"We want to help you. We also have a something's to tell you that Dumbledore withheld from you. Besides of course the full prophesy but that will be for another day." Said Ruby she had been the fourth voice.
"Okay but why won't you show yourselves?"
"Not very bright is he?" Amber scoffed at least Harry thought she did because of her voice.
"Give the boy a break. He just woke up from a long nap!" Emerald scolded.
"Give him a break! How bout I give you a break? You didn't get as many shifts as we did. Do you know how boring it is to watch someone sleep!" Amber practically screamed.
"Shut up Amber. It's not his fault that he has feelings which you don't seem to have." Ruby calmly said.
"You call that an excuse!" Amber started to say.
"Amber shut it right now." Onyx yelled as he slapped her across the face.
"Well as amusing as this all is but you never answered my question." Harry said.
"I believe I can help you..." said a mysteries girl as she appeared before him in battle robes.
"I am known as Azura. Your older Twin Sister." The beautiful girl said quietly.
"I'm an only child!" Harry said as he stared at the girl claiming to be his sister.
She only shook her head as she touched his head and memories started to flood his mind. She stood back with sad eyes otherwise you couldn't see what she was thinking.
"Your friends are outside the door. If they were not there we would take you now brother. Know that you are never alone. One of us will be with you at all times. You are safe for now, Armand. Trust no one and do not speak of us not even to your closest friends. Not yet any ways. We will be back tonight to take you away from here. Then I will answer all your questions. Good bye for now." Azura said as she began to disappear.
"I will be guarding you for the next hour or so. When I speak to you no one but you will be able to hear me. If you talk directly to me no one will hear you or see your mouth move." Onyx said with a smile in his voice.
"Okay." Was all Armand was able to say before all memories his sister had given to him was pushed to the back of his mind and Harry's memories came forward.
"I wonder if he's awake yet!" Ron's voice could be heard through the door.
"I hope he'll be alright. He didn't look to good when they brought him in." Hermione said.
The door opened to reveal Harry's two best friends. Harry stared at them even though they are blurry and then he reached for his glasses as though just thinking of them.
"They are really annoying. Did you know that Armand?" Onyx asked.
"Why what did they do?" Armand replied.
"Every time they came in they would have a big argument. It was always the same too. Ron would start out with, "Even when he's sleeping he gets all the attention!" Then Hermione would be like, "It's not his fault Ronald." And on and on they would go until they are kicked out by Ron's mom." Harry began to chuckle lightly before he once again focused on the arguing couple in front of him.
"Guys... Guys!... GUYS!" Harry finally yelled.
"Sorry Harry. But we were so worried about you. Isn't that right Ron?" Hermione said.
"Yeah of course mate." Ron replied though he really didn't sound like he was worried.
They talked for hours and Mrs. Weasley would come in every few hours and give Harry food and a potion of some sort. Then when it was getting late she came in and gave him a sleeping draught. He refused it but she did set it down on the bed side table. Then Ron and Hermione and all the others that wondered in left to go to bed themselves. They were quite surprised at how normal Harry had been acting. It was like nothing had happened over the years and he seemed almost happy.
"It's time brother. Are you ready?" Azura appeared before him in the same manor as last time.
"Yeah I have everything I need."
"Good because your not coming back until you are master of every form of magic." Azura pulled out a note and placed it on the bed side table before she grabbed Harry's trunk and she grabbed his hand and then everything faded.
When Armand opened his eyes again they stood in gold room filled with magic books, an area for training and so much more.
"This is your livingroom. Over there is your bathroom and just down the hall is your bedroom, potions lab and a kitchen for late night snacks. This is considered your apartment. If you will kindly step outside I'll show you where my apartment and where the others quarters are in case of an emergency." Azura then preceded to give the grand tour of her mansion.
"This is my place right across from yours. Down the hall a bit is where the other's apartment's are. This is where Emerald sleeps. While I am away on missions she is usually in charge." Azura said as they walked past.
Emerald's room is right next to Azura's room. Onyx's room is right next Armand's room and Ruby is on the other side of Onyx and then Amber is right next to Emerald's room. Each room has a different color scheme. Like Armand's is silver and gold. Azura has many different shades of blue though mostly the darker ones. Onyx is white and black. Black walls and bed sheets and all the furniture is white. Emerald's room is mostly a forest green with a creme colored sheets and stuff on her bed. Ruby's room consisted of an almost blood red color and a flaming orange. Amber's room was a whole bunch of yellows and light browns.
"Dinner is at seven every night but if you miss it the kitchen is always open." Azura said as she led him down to the main level of the mansion.
"Here is the livingroom to entertain guests. Down there is the kitchen and a training room where we meet every morning to challenge each other so we can grow stronger. Here is the rec room where there are games and stuff to help us relax when we aren't training. Over here is our indoor garden and outside there is another garden and a Quidditch pitch. On our floor there are many more rooms. I am planning on getting more wizards and muggles to come train." Azura explained as she passed each room.
"Now dinner will be in a few minutes so I would suggest you freshen up before you go down." Azura said as she guided Armand back to his room. Then with a flick of her hand Armand's clothes transformed in a Mage's Battle garment and then she disappeared into her own room.
Armand just stood there for a long time staring at her door. Emerald came out of her room and saw Armand watching Azura's door.
"She is a great leader. You would be very proud of what she has accomplished over the years. Though one thing she did that you don't know about is that she protected you through all your trials Armand. All of them at Hogwarts. She went into that school the same year you did but used a different last name. Not even Dumbledore knew who she was and to this day he still doesn't.
On every adventure you went on she was there. You had befriended her because she didn't treat you differently. She didn't care about your past or that you were the boy who lived. She respected you when you yourself did not and that is what caught your attention. Dumbledore suspected who she was so after ever year he modified your memory."
It broke her heart to know that you didn't remember certain things. She loved you with all her heart and she couldn't tell you. Every year she would come back heart broken and she would bury herself in her training. Most of the time she was by herself or in front of her mirror watching you struggle through life and she knew she couldn't do anything about it till now when she finally lost it." Emerald stared at the door too.
"She knew what was happening to me during the summer?" Armand asked gently.
"Yes and it tore her apart. She could feel your pain. She could feel your joy when you went to the Weasley's. She knew she couldn't be apart of your life yet until your sixteenth birthday." Emerald continued.
"I'm sorry I cause her so much pain. Had I known I would have left Dumbledore. If only I had known I was only being used as a pawn by the old fraud." Armand eyes lite with a dangerous green fire.
"It's much more then that Armand. Much more than that. Though I can't tell you now. Know this Armand... There is more then one evil in the world. Like Azura said... Trust no one from your past. I would like to add to that saying. Trust no one from your past, face the future and its possibilities and trust your blood more than others you have met along your way." Emerald concluded.
"You like to speak in riddles don't you?" Armand smiled.
"A habit of mine. One word of warning before dinner Armand. I would stay away from Amber for a few days. She hasn't been getting her required 12 hours of sleep each night. She claims that her ugliness is your fault. She only got 10 hours of sleep and was the one who got the least amount of guarding hours. It was mostly Azura who stayed with you." Emerald said with a small smile pulling at her lips.
"What is she like? I mean my sister that is." Armand looked sheepish.
"Much like she was when you saw her in school, love." Emerald continued to stare at the door.
"My memories of that time are still blocked. The ones she released were the ones when we were babies. She wanted to prove to me that we are truly brother and sister. You care about her deeply, don't you?" Armand turned to face Emerald.
"We all care deeply about her in our own ways Armand. When you were Harry Potter she was broken to the point of death when she saw you remembered not. She is like my sister. A long time ago the people of my village starved for many years. We only had enough food to keep us alive. I was ten years old when she appeared. I'll never forget how sad her eyes were when she saw the village. She did not pity us though because somehow she knew that pity was something these people did not want.
She used her Elemental magic and soon we had our first rain in months. Food began to grow again and I begged her to take me with her. You see Armand I am an orphan just as you are. As a matter of fact so is all the others and that's what keeps us together. We all have a story and we all have a horrible past but by far you and Azura have the worst." Emerald stared into Armand's eyes as tears flowed freely.
There was complete silence as Armand thought over all he had been told. Was Azura keeping something from him? Because Emerald's past sounds almost worse then his own. He thought it over and thought over what he would say next. He waved her to follow him into his apartment. He then washed up and thought of what to do. He knew she didn't want pity because he knew he didn't want pity for his parents death. So what can you say when you found out that a new friend's past is almost as horrible as your own. He didn't know many people who had a horrible life.
Mean while in Azura's room it was anything but peaceful. She threw blankets and pillows and anything else she could get her hands on and broke anything she could. After her fit she collapsed onto the ground in the middle of her room and cried for all she was worth. In her opinion she didn't have much worth. She had failed Armand and Harry so many times it broke her heart to think about it.
Seven o'clock rolled around and Azura found she couldn't get up. She had released to much of her inner strength when dealing with her emotions when she was talking to Armand. When she released it she tore a hole in her own heart and she lay there, her magic slowly leaky from her broken soul. Not many knew of her past and most of all only one person from her 'family' knew of her past before she was taken in by the mages.
She knew she couldn't tell Armand. She knew he wouldn't pity her. That wasn't the problem. She never healed from it and that's why she lay on her floor in the middle of her torn up bedroom bleeding out her precious inner strength that gave her the will to live. Her soul had been battered to the point where not even Armand could reach her. She knew that if she didn't get help soon then she would go into another coma.
Everyone went down to dinner including Armand and Emerald. Neither felt the leaking magic coming from Azura. Then there was a pulse and the house began to ripple with magic waves. Ruby felt the waves and was immediately alarmed. Seconds later the rest of the group felt it too. Everyone jumped as one. They ran to Azura's room with Armand in the lead. The pulses intensified tenfold as they reached Azura's bedroom.
"What's happening?" Armand shouted.
"She contains all her emotions no matter what they are. When you first saw her all you saw was kindness. You assumed she was happy but you couldn't tell because her eyes were blank. Remember what I said about her past? It was so horrible she fears her own emotions and she never healed. Her soul is beaten and tired. The last time this happened it was the summer after the first year of Hogwarts. Just by seeing you and all the pain you went through tore at her inner strength to the point where its been worn down Armand. She's releasing her emotions through magic." Emerald explained quickly as they tried to open the door.
When they were finally able to break the door down what they saw was pure destruction. There was nothing left of her bedroom. All the grass was shattered. The ceiling was covered in layers of soot. Her furniture was unrecognizable and in the middle of the floor lay a heap of rags. On a closer look they saw that it was Azura. Her energy spent and she was barely breathing. Armand ran to her side as soon as he recognized her. Gently lifting her head up and onto his lap he examined her. The others rebuilt the room to its former glory and then they placed her on her bed.
"I can't lose her. She is all I have left and even though I don't know her well right now I do know that she has always been there for me when I really needed her." Armand cried.
"She'll be fine, love. You just hang in there for her. She'll be sleeping for a good long time. So I suggest you come down and eat." Emerald spoke gently as she laid her hand on his shoulder.
"She didn't lose to much of her magic. I think she should be up and about by tomorrow." Ruby announced to the group.
"That's good to hear. Now lets leave her be." Onyx said with a sigh of relief.
"I'll be there in a minute okay?" Armand said quietly.
"Okay...love, take your time." Emerald said before she kicked everyone out.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you Azura. I... I love you, you know that Azura? I may not have my memories intact but I have a feeling that you helped me... reached me when no one else could. I just wanted to say thank you. Yes thank you Azura for all you have done and all you will do in the future." Armand said as he got up to leave.
"No, please don't go. Not yet." Azura said with a weak voice.
"Azura your awake! Ruby said that you wouldn't wake up until tomorrow." Armand said as her raced back to the bed.
"You gave me some of your strength. I am healing because of you and your love. Armand, I love you too and one of these days I'll help you get the memories back. He tried to modify your memories but you were too strong in your magic so he wasn't able too. So he just blocked certain memories of me and fed you lies about me." Azura sat up and looked around her room.
"They cleaned it up for you." Armand fondly said.
"So you like it here?" Azura asked with a hint of a smile in her eyes.
"Of course. Now come on lets go eat!" Armand helped his sister out of bed and down the hall since it had now been two hours since the seven o'clock meal that never took place.
"Armand you go ahead. I just need to go to the bathroom quickly. You know clean myself up a bit." Azura pulled her arm from Armand's hand as he tried to help.
"Okay... If your sure your okay." Armand said with a lot of uncertainty.
"I'll be fine Armand. The others will probably be in the kitchen due to the fact about how late it is." Azura used the wall as she began to walk away.
"Just be careful Azura!" Armand yelled after her as he continued to walk away.
Armand walked into the kitchen and found the Phoenix's sitting around an island on stools. He went and sat down next Emerald. Everyone was quiet with worry. Armand was too deep into his own thoughts and he was trying to break down a wall that he noticed in his minds eye that did not belong there. He then recognized the magical aura that surrounded it. Dumbledore had been using him all this time and it made him quite angry. Enough so that he wanted revenge on the old man to who he once thought of as a grandfather.
"Dumbledore was about to kill you mum... He is angry that his precious puppet escaped him." said a young and strangely familiar voice.
The others looked alarmed as they stared at Armand as though waiting for him to do something they considered stupid. He had this blank like on his face as though he did not recognize the voice. They knew the minute the three people entered that something big was going to happen. The three unknown people entered the room and suddenly Armand remembered whose voice it belonged to. He stood up and drew out his wand and pointed it at the door. Then it was a stand off. No one moved, breathed or anything else.
"You... what are you doing here?" Armand's voice dripped with hatred.
"We live here..." Came the gentle reply from the only women of the three.
"But why?" Armand demanded.
"You have to underst..." The man started to say.
"Why should I understand? After all you have put me through!" Armand shouted.
Azura heard Armand and knew at once who he met along his way. She hurried down the stories and only managed to fall down them. She picked herself up quickly and whistled in a loud high pitched sound. A black dog came running to her side and she beckoned him to follow her. She raced down the last hallway with adrenaline the only thing keeping her from slowing down. She threw open the door as all hell broke loose.
She stopped the dog from entering. She then lifted her hand and muttered a spell which froze everyone in the room. When the dust and objects settled on the ground once more. Everyone turned to the door and almost everyone fell to the ground in shock as magic waves hit them. Azura then released them and studied the positions each person was in. The three people she had feared to introduce to Armand were crouched under a table while Armand stood against the wall with four reluctant wands pointed at him.
"Armand its okay. I told you that almost everything from your past was a lie did I not? I have one more person I want you to met before I retire for the evening." Azura said with blazing eyes.
"You may come in now!" Azura called as three figures stepped in. Armand promptly fainted...
"As I always say... Hatred only leads to more hatred..." Azura whispered to her unconscious brother.
Then she turned to the six people of Armand's past. "He will awake in a minute. I am afraid my outburst cost me the magic I needed to make a quick recovery. I will need you to help adjust." Azura said with a little sadness in her still blazing eyes.
She then walked over to her brother and gently pushed his bangs back and then summoned water and splashed cold water on his face. Armand began to wake to a new life where he was no longer a pawn and now he would have all the tools he needed to win the war against Voldemort...
