The Great Spirits of Life
Disclaimer: I own what is mine, not what isn't mine. By the way, the hair and eye color may not be true in real life because Mackenzie, Jane, Lindsay, Amber, and Katie are mine (meaning they aren't someone else's) and real people. Thank you for your time so review.
Chapter 1: The Beginning
We all know about Harry potter and his birth one night long ago. But somewhere in another universe 5 special children were being born at the same time on that same day. These children were given to chosen normal families and grew up separately in those chosen normal families, at least normal to the Wizarding World. One child with long, curly, golden-yellow hair, another with long curly forest-green hair, still a third with long, curly, ocean-blue hair, the fourth with long, curly, fiery-red hair and the last one with long, curly, crystal-white hair. These five children were the Great Spirits of Life. They were known as light, earth, water, fire and air. These five girls had a destiny to follow. Their destiny was to save the world.
Mackenzie walked into the Leaky Cauldron her father was always at every day he wasn't working. He knew everyone there and because he did so did she. "Hey, Mackenzie," called a man from a seat in the corner. It was Daniel who was here every other day of the week.
"Hi, Daniel," Mackenzie called back. She walked over to where her father was and sat down across from him. He was staring into the fire the Leaky Cauldron had. He had a firewhisky in his hands and Mackenzie knew not to talk to him until he spoke first. Otherwise he'd hit her and then not talk to her for the rest of the day.
"Hi, Mackenzie," he said suddenly looking at her. Mackenzie smiled and began talking.
"I went to the bay today, Dad, and I saw these huge boats. They were bringing in all this different cargo and then something exploded in one of the boats and the whole thing sank and they had just started unloading it. Then I went to the fields and when I was sitting under the Great Oak I usually sit under, but something strange happened. It started raining, but my tree lit on fire. I assumed it was lightning and ran. So how was your day?" Her father sighed. He knew it was time to tell her something he should have told her years ago. She would be 11 in a month anyways, just after they moved to France.
Amber walked along the coast of Florida in the United States, where she lived. She loved the water. She was turning 11 in a month and would start the school she was going to soon. A sound in the distance told Amber that there were whale's close to the shore. She took a picture with the camera she had and then ran home to show her mom.
"Hey, Amber," her mom said as she ran in the door. Amber smiled and began talking.
"Mom, you'll never guess what! Today was awesome! First I got to see the fire trucks trying to put out the library. It was like a miracle when a spout of water seemed to appear from no where and put the fire out. Hardly anything was burnt. And then the strangest thing happened. I was walking on the beach and I heard the whales singing. They've never come this close to shore because of the shallow water, but it looked as if there was more water than usual. I got a picture of them!" Her mother sighed. She knew it was time to tell her something she should have told her years ago. She would be 11 in a month anyways, just after they moved to France.
Katie was having the time of her life in Germany. It was dark out and she was trying to make her way through the woods back to her house. It was so dark that she couldn't see her way when a light shone ahead that seemed to come to her. She was able to hurry home and she called for her mother when she entered her house.
"Katie, what's wrong?" her mother asked. Katie smiled and began talking.
"The strangest thing has happened, Mom! There was a light that came from me in the forest!" Katie was a bit pale, but her mom understood perfectly. Her mother sighed. She knew it was time to tell her something she should have told her years ago. She would be 11 in a month anyways, just after they moved to France.
Jane was walking through her garden. She loved working with the plants. She had had an interesting day today too. She had ridden her horse through the forest and behind her flowers were sprouting up. Now she sat on a little bench just looking at a really tall rose that had somehow had a miracle worked on it. Jane admired her plants when her father came out into the garden. He was home from work.
"So how was your day?" her father asked.
"It was great! First I took my horse through the woods and flowers sprouted up behind me and now look at the size of this rose!" Jane was too amazed to tell him about the rest of her day. Her father sighed. He knew it was time to tell her something he should have told her years ago. She would be 11 in a month anyways, just after they moved to France.
Lindsay went sky diving with her father again. It was one of her favorite things to do. She loved being in the air. She stayed up in the air longer than her father. "Can you believe it, Dad? I feel like I'm one with the air when we go sky diving and I swear I was flying!" Lindsay exclaimed as she landed. Her father looked at her when they had gotten untangled from their parachutes and sighed. He knew it was time to tell her something he should have told her years ago. She would be 11 in a month anyways, just after they moved to France.
6 Years Later (After they all moved to France)…
Katie, Lindsay, Mackenzie, Amber, and Jane ended up going to the same school in France, Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, and now they were all best friends and kept nothing from someone else. The five of them even told each other how they were one of the Five Great Spirits of Life and knew it was destiny for them to be together. All five of them were friends with Albus Dumbledore and loved to visit him whenever they could. Because of him they now always brought lemon drops with them no matter where they went.
At the moment they were entertaining the little kids who came to visit every now and then to look around the school to know what the school will be like when they were 11 and went themselves. Katie, Lindsay, Mackenzie, Amber, and Jane always did this every year since first year.
"I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!" Amber said laughing evilly. She was dressed up like the wicked witch of the west. Suddenly Phantom of the Opera music started playing on an organ by yours truly, Mackenzie. It didn't match at all. From the corner of the room Jane swooped off the banister, from the third floor, on a chandelier and dressed in a black cape with a hood and vampire fangs. It was definitely not a real play you'd find in Broadway, but the little people didn't care. They were really into this…this…this…"thing" that was being put on at the moment.
At that same moment Katie appeared on the little raised platform. She was dressed up like Snow White with Lindsay chasing her as the Wicked Witch, her step-mother. "It's a delicious apple though," Lindsay cried instantly as the organ stopped completely.
"NO!" Katie cried behind her.
"An apple a day keeps the doctor away!"
"There's no such thing as doctors," Katie said stopping. "That's just a bedtime story to scare little children." Then Mackenzie had the lights fade and her voice echoed around the room, "BEWARE OF MY STRIPELESS ZEBRA!" The kids laughed and as the lights went back on the five of them took a bow. They went to the bathroom and changed back into their normal clothing as the little kids left the library to go and visit the auditorium.
"Ok, so who wrote that one again?" Amber asked as they walked out of the bathroom and towards the kitchens. Speaking of apples, they wanted an apple pie.
"That one was Mackenzie's idea," Lindsay said and Jane laughed.
"Can you get any weirder?" Katie asked.
"Well, sure. It's just my style," Mackenzie said smiling. She pushed a lock of her curly, red hair behind her ear. She was wearing all black too. Her excuse was she was in mourning, but she wouldn't tell why. They were all wearing matching outfits. Short, black, leather skirts and tight, v-neck, tank-tops. Mackenzie's tank-top was black, Jane's was green, Lindsay's was white, Katie's was yellow, and Amber's was blue.
"You're definitely not mourning, why do you always wear black?" Katie asked as she always did. Mackenzie shook her head to the right so the hair would go behind her shoulder instead of in front of it.
"When things burn they turn black," Mackenzie answered. "Duh!"
"I knew that," Amber said as Mackenzie snapped her fingers so a small flame appeared on her forefinger. All five of them were immune to their own powers and the others' powers, but, over time, had learned how to use them. Albus helped them with that.
"Girls, it's break tomorrow and you all are going home or what?" asked a voice from behind them.
"We're going to visit Professor Dumbledore, Professor Troy," Mackenzie answered turning around.
"Ok," he replied with a smile. "That's good. Since you five are in your seventh year you may chose to leave now if you wish."
"Absolutely!" Katie answered. They ran from the school building and did a little kick to the side as they ran.
"To the motorcycles!" Lindsay exclaimed and they headed towards the sheds. (I honestly have no idea what this school looks like so we're just going to go with what I say.) They entered the sheds and looked at the A-45 turbo engine motorcycles. (I have no idea if that's a real motorcycle so we're going with that.) Lindsay's was white, Amber's was blue, Jane's was green, Mackenzie's was red, and Katie's was yellow. Almost everything matched their "gift".
The five of them pulled on matching helmets and started their engines. "Shouldn't we be wearing pants?" Mackenzie asked suddenly just before they took off.
"Nope," Jane answered and then the five of them pulled out of the shed and onto the open road.
"Road trip!" Amber screamed as the five of them made the long, yet fun journey towards Hogwarts. It took them a couple days to reach Hogwarts, but they eventually made it. It was Saturday then and they had stopped at a few Muggle hotels on the way, but they were still healthy and happy and A.O.K. (That's pronounced the same way as speaking the letters aloud, first A, then O, then K, alright? Good.) The gates opened to them and they entered. People were on the grounds and as the five girls circled around in circles that grew larger and larger more people watched them wondering who they were.
Eventually the girls stopped and parked their motorcycle just in front of the stairs leading to the front door. They climbed off, careful not to hurt themselves because they weren't wearing pants, and put their helmets on the handle of the motorcycle. "Shall we?" Lindsay asked and they all raced up the stairs, Mackenzie was the first to the door.
"I WIN!" she cried and then threw the door open, almost hitting a man on his way out. It was Remus Lupin, but they didn't know him or any other teacher, just Albus. "Sorry, Mister," Mackenzie called behind them as they raced to the gargoyle statue to Albus's office.
"Hmm," Lindsay began as usual. "I think I'm in the mood for Peppermints, don't you?"
"Yes," Jane agreed. "Peppermints would be delightful." The gargoyle moved to the side and the spiral staircase began going up. Mackenzie jumped on followed by, Katie, Amber, Jane, and then Lindsay. They rode to the top of the stairwell and then knocked on the door.
"Come in," Albus called sucking on a lemon drop. They walked in the office and took seats anywhere they could find. Mackenzie sat in a swivel chair in front of the desk, facing the book case, Lindsay in front of the desk, Amber and Katie on the small couch and Jane on a stool near the hearth. "Good afternoon, ladies," Albus began with a smile. "What brings you to my humble school?"
"Just visiting. We're on vacation again," Jane answered.
"For what now?" Albus asked cheerily.
"Not really sure. I think the professors just want some time off…from us," Amber said and they all laughed. Just then there was a knocking at Albus's door.
"Enter at your own risk," Mackenzie called as she spun around in circles. The door opened and a man, who worked for Albus, walked in with a scowl on his face. I bet you'll never guess who it is…no way! You're right! It was Severus Snape.
"Albus, I came to report five unidentified vehicles…" Severus trailed off as he noticed the five girls in the room, Mackenzie still spinning around in circles. "Who are they?" Severus sneered.
"We're people," Mackenzie called from her seat. "Human girls to be exact. What did you expect? Aliens? Are you some kind of idiot then?" Mackenzie stopped spinning, took one look at Severus, let her mouth drop, and then fell off her chair and onto the floor completely. She stood up really quickly with a nervous laugh. "Hi," she said a little fidgety. Severus just gave her a funny look and Amber, Katie, Lindsay, and Jane shared a look. In her hands Mackenzie started playing around with a slinky that just seemed to appear.
"Are you nervous, Mackenzie?" Amber asked.
"Nervous? Who's nervous? I'm not nervous," Mackenzie said nervously. She looked downat the slinky. The metal was now red from the heat she was producing. Mackenzie squealed and dropped it. "Um…hi," Mackenzie said again.
"Severus," Albus said with a twinkle in his eyes as he looked from him to Mackenzie, "these are my friends." Albus began to point to them as he named them, "Jane, Lindsay, Amber, Katie, and Mackenzie."
"Hi," Mackenzie said rubbing her hands anxiously.
"Albus told me about you," Severus said looking at Mackenzie. Her eyes widened.
"What did he tell you?" she said suddenly more nervous than ever. Severus opened his mouth to answer when a ringing sounded throughout the room. Mackenzie pulled her cell phone out of her black purse that she now carried. "Hello?" she asked answering it. There was a short pause when Mackenzie was listening. "He did what?" she asked into the phone.
-pause-
"She did what?"
-pause-
"They did what?"
-pause-
"No way!"
-pause-
"Oh my god! Are you serious?"
-pause-
"And then what happened?"
-pause-
"You don't know?"
-pause-
"They broke up? Oh my god! No way!"
-pause-
"Ok."
-pause-
"All right."
-pause-
"Bye," Mackenzie finished before hanging up. "You'll never guess what," she said back to her normal self. "Bridget and Mike just broke up!"
"They were such an adorable couple though," Lindsay whined.
"I think they always hated each other," Jane put in.
"You think everyone hates everyone else," Mackenzie said.
"And that's a problem because?" Jane asked.
"UGH!" Mackenzie gave a frustrated sigh. "Never mind," she almost screamed. She took a few deep breaths and paced back and forth in the office trying to calm down. "I need air," she said before she completely disappeared through the door Severus left open.
"What's with her?" Severus asked.
"I suppose you could say she was hot-headed," Jane said as she, Amber, Lindsay, and Katie laughed.
"Yea," Katie agreed. "She just needs to…cool down," she said andthey laughed again. Severus looked confused.
"Care to elaborate?" Severus asked.
"That's a big word, elaborate," Amber said. "Don't say that to Mackenzie. She doesn't like big words." The four of the girls laughed again.
"Do you think she'd enjoy you insulting her when she isn't here?" Albus asked.
"She knows we're only joking," Lindsay said. "Or maybe she's about to jump off the top of the roof thinking we absolutely hate her. She does act like the world turns against her all the time."
"I think she's just bored easily. Besides, Jason just broke up with her. She's a bit frustrated more easily now," Jane said.
"Do you think she's pregnant?" Amber asked suddenly.
"No. She couldn't be. She would have told us, right?" Katie asked. Suddenly they were all standing up and running for the door.
"Mackenzie, come back! You can tell us if you're pregnant, we don't mind," Lindsay's voice faded in the corridor.
"Well, Albus, care to elaborate what all this is about?" Albus sighed and leaned back comfortably in his chair. "Sit down. It's a long story." Severus sat down in front of Albus's desk waiting for Albus to begin his story.
Well? What do you think? Please review because I'm busy and I don't have time for personal interviews right now. Besides, for all I know you could live in Japan, and I don't live anywhere out of the USA and that's all I'm saying. Now please review and God bless America. Thank you for your time and understanding and GO WORLD PEACE!
