Tanlayae J. back again for my next chapter on The Power of Hogwarts!

I Hope you enjoy and keep on reading!

I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER OR IT'S CHARACTERS.

PS Considering there was not much Ministry of Magic law decrees back then that there was no underaged magic decree.

Chapter Two Quidditch

Two weeks had gone and the four teenagers had become greater friends and continued to hang out with each other. Talking, playing and Learning together, but they never could have known what fate what brought them next.

Helga woke up suddenly and surprised the moment her three best friends came barging into her room one morning. "What are you doing!"She said tiredly she grabbed for her wand but Salzalar cast expelliarmus, but the wand didn't come.

"What the hell! I cast Expelliarmus! Why did't the wand come to me!" Screamed Salzalar impatiently

"It's like that with all her stuff. She has some enchantment on it, but she won't tell me how she did it." Said Rowena staring at her frightend friend, "None of her objects wll come to you unless she's fine with it." Finished Rowena

"Wow, That's cool... and so is this room!" Said Goderic looking around the room that was filled with Quidditch posters and like twenty broom models in her closet.

*Cough, Obsession, Cough* coughed Salzalar

"Ya, I know it's a problem, but It's a good one. Well at least for me."

Then suddenly Goderics eyes widend when he saw a small pheonix in the corner, "How did you get a Pheonix?"

"Ya, They're pretty rare, I can't even get them and my parents are extremely rich." Snorted Salzalar

"Long story short, I was there when it was born and I adopted it. Hey guys! I just realized it's finally sunny out today!" exclaimed Helga quickly, changing the subject, "We should totally go play some one-on-one Quidditch on the empty feild. We'll have an small tournament and we'll only use the golden snitch."

"That sounds like a great idea! We could buy a gold cup or something and whoever wins get to keep it, and we'll also engrave the name in it!" Goderic added

Rowena looked a little unsure, but agreed because she wasn't that bad, mostly because Helga and her always played, but she couldn't help but feel a little jealous when she saw Goderic smiling widley at Helga. She Shrugged it off and looked at Salzalar who asked if she could look at Helga's wand.

This was such and odd wand thought Salzalar, It was very beautiful, just slick black, it felt cool on the out side but when he gripped it harder he could feel it on the inside, and it was warm. Most definantly not like other wands, they just felt like wood, but some do have hot or cold vibrations but he'd never felt one with both. He looked a little closer and he saw, very faded, yellow, ribbon like etches, like fire bursting, going half way up the wand. He felt a little tense and very suspicous. He had a sudden thought that possibly this mark didn't originally come with the wand.

. . .

"AGGHHH! This is so frustrating!" screeched Alcove.

"Calm." said his younger brother Reimer, "Did you find out who brought the locket?"

"Well i'm not to sure yet, I found this kid who fits the description that Weignston gave me,but he's never alone!" Said Alcove slightly raisng his voice. "Plus I haven't actually seen him with the locket yet..."

"Wait. What?" asked Reimer, "These are kids were talking about?"

"Yes," Answered Alcove, "Apparently the kid was about thirteen years old."

He smiled widley.

And Reimer smiled right back.

. . .

Twenty minutes later, after choosing ther brooms and bought a gold coloured chalice from the cauldron shop, Goderic, Salzalar, Helga and Rowena started there way over to to the empty feilds on the outskirts of diagon alley.

"All right!" screamed Helga joyfully, "Rowena and I will play the first game then Goderic and Salzalar, and the winners of both rounds will play again."

"So all we have to do is catch the Golden Snitch?" asked Rowena

"Well duh." answered Salzalar snarkily, "We don't have enough players for, beaters and keepers and whatever."

"I was just asking." Rowena said flatly

"All right then... let's move on to the frst round," exclaimed Goderic, breaking the tension.

About five minutes later Rowena and Helga went up in the air looking out for th golden snitch. At first Rowena was nervous but she was really fast on a broom stick, she began to get more confdent on the broom and started to randomly whiz around the feild in search of the snitch.

Helga was confused of what Rowena was doing, was she distracting her or did she find the golden coloured ball already. no, she thought Rowena was much faster than that. She was probably just trying to have fun. Right? It was just a fun game right? So Helga decided to fly around the feild to. Then Helga spotted it. Low to the ground in the shade, so she started to fly towards it wondering if Rowena noticed yet. Yes. She did but at just last minute. Rowena came zooming up to Helga just as she caught the snitch.

"All right Helga wins." Shouted Goderic as Rowena and Helga came down shaking each others hands, "But wow, Rowena your fast, like seriously fast!"

"Yup!" laughed Rowena "I take it with pride and joy."

"All right," Helga said suddenly. "It's Goderics and Salzalars turn."

Two minutes later, Goderic and Salzalar were up in the air, looking for the golden snitch. They couldn't see very well because of the sunshine.

Then Salzalar saw a flash of gold fluttering and shimmering from the sun! He saw it, It was gone now but he moved into the direction flying towards were he first seen it. Damn he thought how was he supposed to do this. He'd been on a broom stick before,but he knew Goderic was better. He glanced at Goderic. His Hazelnut, Golden eyes were looking in a differnt direction but Salzalar could see them sparkling from across the feild, and his hair was swaying back and fourth, he noticed this and he just stared at him until he saw the snitch whiz past him. He snapped into his senses and flew after it.

Goderic saw it just as Salzalar went after it He chased after it gradually catching up. Then he saw Salzalar started to twtch weirdly. At first he thought it was a joke.

He couldn't have been more wrong.

Oww! thought Salzalar. his skin was burning like a flame. The locket was doing something ot him, oh no he thought. oh no. The locket that was hidden under his shirt was glowing. He had a sudden vision of snakes speaking to him, but then he passed out.

What's going on thought Helga and Rowena at the same time, looking at each other scaredly, Salzalar just started to twitch and then he fell off his broom stick. Good thing it was low to the ground when he fell off thought Helga.

The girls started to run towards Salzalar as Goderic came down off his broom stick grasping the golden sntch in his hand, looking worridly at his passed out friend. Salzalar was even paler. If that was actually possible to be more pale than he already was, but he had tinges of green glowing in his skin and hair. When they all knelt down beside him, he woke up startled.

"Awwhhggghh" Salzalar grunted as he tried to sit up.

"What happend? Are you ok?" asked Rowena

"Ya i'm fine, i think," he answered as he touched his chest were the locket was still hidden under his shirt on it's chain, but feeling quite hot as he touched it. "I saw snakes... speaking to me. I think should go." He finished, then he got up and ran back to diagon alley, tears streaking his face.

The three friends stared at each other silently for a long time, before they got up and chased after their friend.

. . .

The two scheming brothers sat inside, 'the Leaky Cauldron' hatching a plan on how he would get the locket.

"Well if he's always with his little possy or whatever than we can just attack them all and we get the locket." Suggested Reimer shrugging his shoulders.

"Ya i guess so, there's only four of them anyway and they're only thirteen so we could probably get it." said Alcove wondering why he didn't think of this before.

"So how are we gonna find him?" asked Reimer

"Well, the clerk mentioned he was a regular customer so im just suggestng we waited around the shop and see if they had any more usful things, I have a feeling he's gonna come here soon anyway..." answered Alcove

"Wow! You wannna wait! Patiently!" Reimer laughed, "but seriously, you had a feeling the locket was gonna open when you first touched it... and now look what happened!"

Alcove glared at him for a long time before he said, "Fine, whatever. Let's just head back to Borgin and Burkes and get my locket."

The Locket, Reimer thought. That stupid Locket.

. . .

"Where did he go!" shouted Helga

"He's probably going to Borgin and Burkes, I think it has something to do wth the locket he bought there, because I saw something glow under his shirt before he passed out." answered Goderic hurridley running as fast as he could.

All three friends were scared. Scared that something bad could have happened to their friend.

They were right.

. . .

Salzalar's head was racing with thoughts. Did snakes just talk to him? Something wasn't right here. When he bought the locket it... it changed. How could this happen... Why did this happen? The first place he thought to check out Borgin and Burkes and get more facts from were the locket really came from. Once he made it back to Diagon Alley, He wondered about his friends. He wondered if they were worrying about him or chasing after him. He saw their shocked expressions when he finally gained concience and then ran off... Great. They must think i'm a freak. Once he finally entered Borgin and Burkes, he was greeted by Wiegnston lying in the ground motionless and two male wizards smiling at him evily.

. . .

"Were almost there!" said Goderic, as he was turnng into Knockturn alley, with Rowena and Helga right beside him.

The three stopped on their trackes once they entered the alley. It was dark and no one was their. It looked like a deserted ghost town.

"Somethings wrong." Said Goderic solemly

"You didn't notice?" asked Helga sarcastically. "Come on lets go!"

The four ran into the Borgin and Burkes finding that a middle aged man was holding Salzalar u by the shirt screaming something about a locket...

"Give it to me!" shouted Alcove slamming Salzalar harder against the wall, before he noticed that his friends were standing there, shocked and staring wide eyed at them.

"Oh look! We have company!" Laughed Reimer as he stared at their shocked faces.

"Get their wands!" screeched Alcove imediantly

"Expelliarmus!" shouted Remeir reciveing only Rowena's and Goderic's wands, Then he snarkily added "What's the matter blondie left your wand at home?"

Alcove suddenly looked at Helga seeing her take out her wand angrily and casting expelliarmus. Reimer tried to cast back but the wands wouldn't leave Helga's grasp. Alcove suddenly dropped Salzalar onto the floor and said, "Reimer, we need to leave."

Then before anything else happened Reimer and Alcove disaparated. Without ther precious locket.

Salzalar glanced up at his friends once and said, "I..." than he passed out again before finish the sentance.

The three silent friends carried Salzalar to his house. It was a big mansion. With a huge yard. They brought their passed out friend to his room, luckily his parents weren't home so nobody asked any questions.

Goderics room was huge. Helga thought, almost as big as her own house. It was a dark room, but very cool.

Goderic, Rowena and Helga left a note explaining what had happened and how tomorrow they would visit so he could explain to them what really happened in his mind.

. . .

"What was that!" asked Reimer sounding angry, "We almost got the locket! Why didn't their wands come?"

"I don't know!" shouted Alcove worridley, "but it isn't right, I know that for sure that the wand didn't come that way." Alcove finished sighing

Two minutes of silence passed before Alcove added, "I think she has some form of enchantment on it, That keeps anything she has from leaving her. It's dangerous, soon enough this power will possbly grow... and i'm afraid we won't be able to take it away from her, Unless..."

"Unless what..." asked Reimer imediantly wondering what they could do.

"Well if we get the wand we may be able to get the power... so we'll have to black mail her in form of getting the wand, and then we'll get the locket, That way nobody will ever take the locket away from me even f i die." said Alcove smirking

Alcove and Reimer sighed to themselves knowing that their once simple plan became a lot more complicated...

On the next Chapter: Goderic, Rowena and Helga demand an explanation from Salzalar and they all dscover some new magic. The question is, "Is it good magic?" or was it from something worse than they imagined? They also learn some new thing about how Helga's wand has it's extra power, The peices are starting to fit together and the four are discovering their fate in this journey, but will Alcove and his brother stop them on their tracks...
