Chapter 1 – The Vision
The Green Leaf was a coffee shop, situated in Hereford where most people from the College around the corner went to get their sugar and caffeine supplies so that they could stay awake for the test they had pulled an all nighter for. In here sat three perfectly normal looking teenagers, but they weren't. It wasn't the fact that one of them had black hair with burnt orange tips or that two of them were pureblood wizards. They were weird, freaks, even by wizarding standards. For these three teenagers were three quarters of The Sorceresses Circle. The Sorceresses Circle was an ancient magical bond made by the elements before time itself. A prophecy was made many years after it had formed that two muggles and two purebloods would come together as heirs to the elements and form The Sorceresses Circle. The prophecy hadn't been fulfilled until last summer when the four of them met. Now it was a year later after they had met and they were hoping for a fairly relaxing holiday.
"God is Lyndsay taking long enough?" Nathan Tucker, the heir to the deity of earth yawned. Nathan was a good listener, it was part of his powers, he could hear people's thoughts and things that normal people could never hear. His other powers were that he was able to heal someone quickly and he could understand any language. But to most people he looked like a normal teen with dark brown hair and eyes to match.
"It's the holidays we don't have to be on time for everything" The pureblood girl with the black hair with orange tips was the heir to the mistress of fire, soon to be a third year at Hogwarts, quick tempered shape shifter, and daughter of a mass murder who mother had fled the wizarding world after he had been taken to Azkaban. That was Carlie Mason. Or Carlie Black as she had found out when Jess Mcairn, (the dark blonde, brown eyed pureblood wizard sitting next to her), had written to him and asked for him to write back for Carlie's birthday. They had exchanged a few letters, Carlie explained the circumstances of her life, growing up as a muggle with her mother living above The Green Leaf in a small apartment, about how Sara, her mum's best friend who pretty much was Carlie's aunt in everyway but blood owned The Green Leaf. Sirius, as she never called him dad because it didn't feel right had said that she must have had a terrible childhood being a wizard in the muggle world and few other things that Carlie had gotten so infuriated from that she'd sent him a nasty letter back which she hadn't received a reply.
Yet.
But she knew it was coming. She'd written the letter on the train and threw her owl out the window while the train was moving. She knew the letter was coming, whether it be a letter saying she didn't know squat or a letter of an apology.
"She's coming anyway" Nathan smiled "I heard her"
Jess Mcairn, the spirit of water's heir, rolled his brown eyes. Jess was a pureblood wizard as he was constantly reminded by his strict pureblood parents, Isaiah and Andrea Mcairn. Jess was a Slytherin, as all his family has been but he had always wanted real friends who liked him for who he was, not for who his family was. He had gotten that wish on the first day of Hogwarts, when he met Carlie and she gave him a chance. Despite him being a Slytherin, against muggle borns (which Carlie practically was) and their friends hating each other's guts, they formed a friendship. Jess hated his family but didn't have the moral fiber to stand up and say he didn't want to be like the rest of his family. So behind his parents back, he had spent last summer at Carlie's place, here and he had met Lyndsay and Nathan, the muggle halves of The Sorceresses Circle.
After that they had experienced all types of weird thing before Carlie had read a book about the prophecy and they realized what they were. Then Marcus came along. He was their guardian who was supposed to help guide them with their powers and help them out if they were in any trouble. Even though they had amazing powers and had the evil lord of the underworld, Minaru, after them, they hadn't had any wild adventures or anything. Lyndsay had; had a demon attack her at school but other than that they had no adventures with them. But that was going to change. Very soon.
"Hey guys, you are going to have to buy something or get out" A boy with wild curly brown hair laughed.
Carlie laughed and said "Dude, my Aunt owns the place, I can get you fired you know!"
The boy, Pete Surmon, grinned at her. He had been working at the green leaf since last Christmas. From what they had seen of him, he was a cool, normal fifteen year old guy.
"So are you going to tip me at all?" He asked cheekily
"Hell no! I'm not paying for the stuff so I don't have to tip" Carlie replied
Pete pretended to look upset "fine then. I'll go ask the other customers" He walked off to take the order of a few girls who looked nineteen.
"Hey guys sorry, running a little late" Lyndsay Gareth, the final member of The Sorceresses Circle sat down, looking a little out of breath.
"You didn't run here did you?" Nathan asked
Lyndsay nodded, flicking her sweat soaked strawberry blonde hair out of her face.
"Why didn't you just orb?" Jess asked
Orbing was the way they all got around, within seconds you could be in any realm, place and if you got advanced enough, time. It was one of their few mutual powers.
"Because I can't, it's very hard when your somewhere like the green leaf" Lyndsay replied, sculling down a glass of orange juice that did belong to Jess.
"HEY! That was my drink!" Jess yelped
"Calm down, Pete will get you another one" Carlie said
"I'll also inform you guys" Lyndsay put down the glass "that Tegan and Keisha are on their way, they'll be here any minute"
And being the seer that she was, she was right. Tegan Jenkins and Keisha Alan soon came over to the table and checked out Jess.
Jess had briefly seen Tegan and Keisha at Christmas but he was in a disguise so they didn't know it was him.
"Hi you must be Jess, I'm Keisha" Keisha, the dark skinned, black haired girl said very fast. She was wearing a radiant white shirt with crisp cargo pants.
The thin, blonde haired, blued eyed girl sat next to Jess "And I'm Tegan. God! You are so much nicer looking than those twins she brought home last Christmas. Are you single? If you are I am so interested"
Jess was surprised at the girl's forwardness. He hadn't even thought about a girlfriend...well she certainly looked beautiful in her trendy jeans and tee.
"I'm not going out with anyone" Jess managed to choke out
Tegan's eyes lit up. "Awesome!"
"Woah girl! Slow down, you'll scare the poor boy half to death" Keisha laughed, she leaned over to Jess and said "I wouldn't recommend going out with her, she not exactly the most deepest person you'll met"
"Yes I'll admit it, I'm a bit shallow but hey I'm Model Material, who doesn't want that?" Tegan said
"No amount of beauty can hide an ugly personality Tegan" A boy voice remarked
They all turned to see a boy with spiked up blond hair and hazel eyes.
"Lewis" Carlie smiled, sounding happy to see him.
"Hey Carlie, about time you showed up, been missing ya" Lewis sat down beside Keisha.
"Are Jax and Jason coming?" Carlie asked
"Yeah" Lyndsay said before him "Jason is late because he is busy on the computer and Jax will be coming in three, two, one...."
"Hey guys!" A boy with trendy glasses, light brown hair and a face covered in acne bounced over and sat down next to Nathan.
Tegan, Lewis and Keisha were sitting with their mouths open at Lyndsay.
"What?" Lyndsay asked
"Since when did you become a physic?" Lewis asked
"Since last summer" Nathan remarked and Carlie and Jess smiled at each other.
"Is that like a private joke or something?" Tegan asked
"Yep" Nathan smiled
"How about you let us in on the joke?" Jax asked
Carlie, Jess, Lyndsay and Nathan exchanged looks and said "Maybe later"
The eight of them sat in silence until Jason rocked up, fifteen minutes later.
"Sorry I'm late; I was doing something on the computer and didn't notice the time" Jason Laffey said as he grabbed a chair from the other table and pulled it up to join the others. Jason was a chubby looking dark skinned boy who had a friendly look about him. He seemed to have noticed Jess and smiled
"Hey I'm Jason, the computer nerd of the group"
"Hi I'm Jess who isn't part of a group" Jess said
Jason laughed "We'll find you a part to play"
Carlie laughed "You guys still do that?"
"What are you talking about?" Jess asked
Lyndsay turned to him "As a joke to introduce each other, we came up with a part we are in the group. I'm the witch, Nathan is the weirdo, Tegan is the shallow blonde, Jax is the prankster, Lewis is the punk, Jason is the computer nerd, Keisha is the neat freak and Carlie was the insane girl"
"Insane girl?" Jess asked
Carlie grinned "I remember those days with my skateboard, it was so awesome'
"Yeah until you cracked your head open on the cement and broke your arm" Jax laughed
"It was still cool" Carlie argued "I got to go in an ambulance and there was blood everywhere"
Tegan shivered "ugh! Don't remind me"
"Yeah all the blood on the car and the concrete" Lewis recited to Tegan "and all over Carlie"
"LEWIS!" Tegan screamed
Many of the people turned to look at them. Jax gave Lewis a high five and Keisha was shaking her head then everyone burst out laughing. Lyndsay began to wipe away the tears in her eyes when the scene changed, she was no longer looking at her friends laughing, she was now standing in front of a girl tied up on the floor, she was struggling and trying to untie the ropes that bound her. From the size of her, Lyndsay guessed she was about six or seven; her face was covered by her hair which was dirty and unkempt. Then Lyndsay heard someone say
"Hello? Anyone home!"
Lyndsay blinked, she was now back at the table and Tegan was waving her hand in front of her.
"Earth to Lyndsay!" Tegan said
"Yeah" Lyndsay said sheepishly
"SHE LIVES!" Jason announced to which he got weird looks from the rest of the customers.
"God Lyndsay you went all zombie girl on us" Keisha said
"Sorry" Lyndsay murmured
"Are you alright?" Nathan asked
"Yeah I just had a vision" she said, forgetting that Keisha, Tegan, Jax, Jason and Lewis were at the table.
"Did you say vision?" Keisha asked
Lyndsay looked at her "Yes, I happen to be physic"
"Lyndsay I thought you were over the whole 'I have magic powers' thing, Lyndsay, face it you are NOT a witch" Tegan said
"You're right' Lyndsay smiled "I'm not a witch, I am much more powerful than that"
Tegan looked at her like she was nuts "I am the heir to the goddess of wind"
There was a tense silence for a moment before Lyndsay exploded into a hysterical laugh
"You should have seen your faces when I said that, where's the camera when you need it"
Everyone else joined in on the laughing though Carlie, Nathan and Jess's were very strained.
"Where did you come up with that garbage?" Jason asked
Lyndsay smiled "read it in this book about prophecies that never came true, one of them was about heirs to the elements and I thought I might be the goddess of winds heir"
"Only you would read such crap' Lewis remarked
"It was not crap" Lyndsay argued "It was very informative"
"Yeah sure it was" Lewis said
"Can we continue this argument upstairs I think we're scaring the customers away" Carlie said
"Yeah then we can organize what we're going to do for the whole holidays" Keisha said
"Always the rational thinker eh Keish?" Jax said
"Absolutely" Keisha said
As the nine of them trudged up the stairs to Carlie's apartment, Jess struck up a conversation with Lewis and Carlie was chatting to Jason about her lap top.
"It's awesome, the school gives them to us, Jess has one too, so you can e- mail us when we're back at school" Carlie explained. About a month back they had found out that there telepathy conversations were able to be listened in to so Marcus had given Carlie and Jess lap tops so that he could e-mail them, Lyndsay and Nathan already had computers so they didn't need one.
Carlie opened the door to her house which was actually an apartment. It was a three-bedroom place with whitish carpet and cream walls. The first thing you saw when you walked in the front door was a couch and a TV then the kitchen bench behind it.
Everyone bounded in and found a place to sit. Tegan, Keisha, Jason and Nathan sat on the couch while Jax, Jess, Lewis, Lyndsay and Carlie sat on the floor.
"So what are the plans for the holidays? Anyone going away or anything?" Lewis asked
"I'm leaving for the last two weeks, I have to stay at my uncle's place" Jess said. Lucius Malfoy, Jess's uncle was his mother's brother. He was going there so that his stupid cousin Draco could ride with him to Hogwarts.
"Is your uncle nice?" Keisha asked
Jess shook his head "Nah, he's a real prick"
"Then why are you staying with him?" Tegan asked
"Cause my parents are making me" Jess said
"Well other than Jess is anyone else going away?" Lewis asked
Everyone else shook their heads.
"Good so we have all holidays basically to hang out" Lewis said.
"What are we going to do now then?" Jax asked
"Wanna watch a movie?" Carlie asked
"Sounds good, got any popcorn?" Jason asked
"I'll see. I don't care what we watch so grab anything" Carlie got up and went to the kitchen while everyone else went to see what there was to watch.
Carlie found some microwave popcorn and read the instructions.
"Can we watch Pirates of the Caribbean?" Lyndsay called (A/N: Pirates of the Caribbean rules!!!)
"Yeah sure" Carlie called back as she put the popcorn in the microwave and set it to high.
Lyndsay had put the movie on and they were watching the previews. Most people had decided to lie on the ground while Tegan and Keisha stretched out on the couch.
The microwave dinged and Carlie grabbed the popcorn and went to sit on the ground with everyone else.
"Pass it here" Jason said
By the time the previews had finished and the movie had begun, the popcorn was almost gone.
"Have you seen this movie Jess?" Jax asked
Jess shook his head.
"It's awesome" Keisha said
"And Johnny Depp is hot" Tegan added
"Shut up I love this bit" Lyndsay snapped
They continued to watch it until Jax asked "What's that tapping noise?"
Nathan used his super hearing to tell where it was coming from. "It's coming from your room Carlie"
Carlie got up and went to her room and there tapping on her window was ebony, her owl with a letter attached to her.
The letter from Sirius.
