Chapter One: A meeting at the Gravesite
A crack rang through Godric's Hollow as two people apparated at the edge of town. Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley walked calmly into town as children ran around ringing doorbells and collecting candy. Harry held in one hand a bouquet of white roses, while holding his fiancée's hand in the other. It was Halloween night exactly eighteen years since the murder of Harry's parents and the beginning of the tale of The Boy Who Lived. They calmly passed by the statue of Potters, pausing only briefly as Harry looked up into his parents faces liked he did on the night of that disastrous Christmas Eve. Ginny smiled at baby Harry and they continued to walk up to the graveyard. They opened the entrance gate and walked past the small church. Harry stopped in surprise as they saw a young woman clearly standing over the graves of Harry's parents.
The woman's back was turned to them facing the grave markers. Her long curly auburn hair was pulled the side of her face and over her shoulder. "Harry what are you doing?" Ginny asked tugging on his sleeve.
"Hang on Ginny." He said pulling out his invisibility cloak. Out of habit from the war he continued to carry it with him at all times. He beckoned Ginny under it and they made there way over to the woman carefully avoiding any gravestones that stood in the way. When they finally got close enough they could hear the woman talking. There was now no doubt that she was standing at the Potters' grave.
"Truly I have no idea why I'm here. Why after eighteen and a half years of not knowing you I would randomly come to your graves. I know that you were dead for the majority of that time but still. I'm not going to lie. I have never wanted to come and visit your graves before, never." The woman sighed regretfully. "And don't even bother getting your hopes up 'cause this is the first and only time I'm doing this. So I might as well tell you that even though I never spent any time with you even as an infant and I had to grow up in an orphanage from the age of three I'm grateful that you sent me to my grandparents in America. I grew up as a muggle went to a regular elementary school, until I went to an all witches school to study magic. But backing up.
As I grew up in the orphanage I met my best friend in the entire world. Her name is Sparks; well technically that's not her real name, it's Serena. Anyway as it turned out she was a witch too and in our first year at Orenda Academy, which is an all girls' school near Salt Lake City Utah, we met Magma, who's real names Maria. We had some type of connection but neither of us knew what it was; we were just drawn to each other. It wasn't until we met Lee and Tei. They're somewhat of the leaders of this group of guardians. Hey, you should be proud not only is your son the one who defeated the overlord of the century, but also I'm a water witch. Even though you probably have no idea what that means. Basically I can control water of all kinds, whether it's rain, swimming pools, or entire oceans! So getting back to my friends, that was our connection. Sparks was the witch of thunder and lightning, while Mags hailed over fire and ashes.
While we were in school we learned of Magma's past how she's been ganged up in the cities of California for years, thankfully not any more. And well, you might not like this but we quit going to Orendas after two years and went back to regular middle school. What can I say we liked it better than studying magic the rest of our lives don't worry though! We took classes during the summer for magic and regular school took place during the school year. I graduated High School with flying colors and went to an art university before studying abroad here with Sparks. Magma, regretfully, stayed back in California U stating that she wouldn't be caught dead living in the freezing cold of Great Britain." The woman laughed, before sighing again. Harry was getting more and more curious about this woman who seemed to know his parents and Ginny, sensing the importance of this waited patiently.
"That pretty much covers my school life. During the time when the second war was blowing Sparks, Magma, and I joined up with the Order of the Phoenix. Dumbledore seemed really hesitant about letting three teenage girls join the order. I have no idea what Lee did to persuade him, all I know is that no other guardian would take the job. Sparks was in the most dangerous position out of the three of us. Everyone in her family were major Death Eaters and she spied on them mostly before getting caught and almost killed. She never was on good terms with her parents, and I know that I told you she was from an orphanage but apparently Lee took her from her home bringing her to America so that all the guardians were in one country. You know Sparks and I were the only guardians born outside of the Americas. She thanks god and Lee that she never grew up with her parents or she might have ended up just like them.
After the war though Sparks and her family got closer wrongs forgiven forgiveness all coming from her of course. She bluntly refused to have a career in the wizarding world, something about not wanting to live in a world where it's still like the Middle Ages. She is now studying as a program designer, while I'm majoring in art but I already told you that. So over all the war was okay casualties were expected, but it still could've been worse. I've always thought that a muggle war was a hell of a lot worse than wizards, and I still do. The final battle was at Hogwarts but I'm sure Harry has already told you all about that. I'm still trying to get it out of Anna how he survived all that, she's the witch of the afterlife you might actually know her.
And so we arrive at the subject of Harry. You two probably would have wanted me to tell him years ago. In my defense I only met the kid at the age of fifteen and that was so brief I doubt he remembers it. Other wise I have no excuse, I could have told him then or during the after math of Hogwarts but I don't think that was a good time after so many people died fighting. None of the guardians died though way too good at deflecting the curses with their personal magic. Haley, the witch of ice, came close though. What a seven-year old girl was doing in the midst of fighting I have no idea. She froze an entire corridor though along with a dozen Death Eaters."
Ginny tugged Harry's sleeve and he knew she was thinking about the frozen corridor after the battle. Harry had always thought it was a freezing charm. The woman looked like she was almost done with her story so they continued to wait invisible.
"So back to Harry then I'm gonna get going. I don't think I'll ever tell him about me. Dumbledore knew, Sirius knew, Remus knew, I'm pretty sure McGonagall knows but I don't think I want Harry to know. He can live the rest of his life peacefully, gods know he deserves it, and I'll go back to my own life. Hey what he doesn't know can't effect him."
The woman looked down at her watch checking the time. "So, I guess that's it. My life in a nutshell I'm sorry that we never really knew each other and that I've never really thought much about you guys at all but that's life." She stood up to leave. "I'm gonna leave Harry at peace and not tell him anything."
At this Harry took the cloak off him and Ginny to ask, "Tell me, what?
A/N: Hi! I've had this idea in my head for very long time now and since the seventh book came out I've decided to write about it. All of the guardians as well as Orenda Academy are of my own creations. Feel free to comment whether you liked it or that it's sucked. I welcome any critics to my writings so feel free to tell me that it was the worst thing you've ever read (though I hope it wasn't). It's a cliffhanger ending to the chapter but live with it until I can write up the next chapter, which should be soon seeing as I have all the free time on my hands I could ever want.
