Chapter 4

The kneeling group of people stood as their master disapparated taking the sniveling little rat Pettigrew with him. Many of them secretly hoped he would kill the backstabbing traitor the Death Eaters were dark in magic and nature but not all of them were inherently evil. As they were Purebloods or at least trained in the ways of Purebloods Pettigrew's uncaring actions towards his allies angered them greatly this anger was greatly added to because of the high rank his allies had. Many high ranking Pureblood heirs and lords had befriended the improvised
half-blood only for him to turn on them. It also did not help that the man hardly had the magic to do even the most basic spells and on any mission required a constant shadow. The group of hooded and masked figures suddenly fell to the ground shrieking as unimaginable pain shot through their bodies radiating from their left arms. As suddenly as the pain had come it left as soon as their shaking subsided the group of people began to leave. Two figures hidden in the shadows watched not speaking as all the Death Eaters left.
"It is hard to watch them leaving knowing how many will avoid their fate." Only of the figures said softly.
"Fate is fickle they will be free now only to face him later. Now come someone is calling." With a swirl of magic the two figures disappeared without a sound.

Kneeling in a white robe in a bare room a mother began a ritual.
Oh mighty North I call to you bless'ed Earth to be the foundation of this magic as you are the foundation of the world throwing a handful of dirt to the north she turned to the East
Oh blustering East I call to you bless'ed Air to give life to this magic as you give life to every living thing throwing a small swirl of air to the East she turned South
Oh destructive South I call you bless'ed Fire to protect this magic as you protect those who use you wisely a ball of fire was thrown to the South as she turned West
Oh flowing West I call you bless'ed Water to cleanse this magic as you cleanse all things water was thrown to the West as the women turned picked up a basket reaching inside she lovingly picked up the baby sleeping inside. Laying the child on the alter she kneeled down in front of it and began to chant.
Lady of Magic I call on thee
I pray you answer your Childs plea
Lady of Magic I call to thee
I pray you answer your Childs plea
Lady of Magic I call to thee
I pray you answer your Childs plea
The dirt floor of the ritual room began to shake. Wind blew fiercely through the room. Fire burned around the alter where it child lay. Water covered the walls and slowly moved to drip on the women and child.
"My Daughter. You called upon me." A voice said from nowhere.
"My Lady." The women bowed low the floor.
"Knowing the fate that could befall you should your intentions be corrupt or selfish do you still wish to proceed with the ritual?" The bodiless voice asked.
"I do my Lady." The woman said resigned to her possible fate.
"Very well continue." The bodiless voice said softly.
On my Magic and Soul I swear to uphold the truth of Lady Magic
I swear guide and protect the ones touched by Fate
I swear to thwart evil and embrace good
I swear to promote harmony and acceptance
On my Magic, Soul and Life I swear these things
I have but one request born of the love in my heart for my child
I beg Lady Magic that you break the ties that connect all repentant members of my family to evil
Let none of my child's family lead them to evil
As the women spoke the last word a shield of golden magic surrounded her child as three figures materialized.
"You come with pure intentions based on your love and for that you will be granted your wish, however, much of your family will be lost for there is little repentance to be found. As pure as your intentions are your heart and mind will twist and become bitter due to the hand Fate has dealt you. Love your child forgive your husband and reconcile with deserving family members. For when the five meet again a blessing will be bestow'ed on you." The figure in the front intoned.
"Raise your child to know when to lead and when to follow for they will need both skills in time." The figure to the right continued.
"Raise your child in the magic of your ancestors you are Dark magic wielders but neither you nor is your child evil." The third figure said softly. As the three figures walked over to the child. With a wave of her hand Lady Magic dispelled the shield and gently picked up the child.
"Bless'ed be my Child." She said softly before silently weaving a spell to mark the five of Fate.
"When the five meet they will know." Was the last thing she said before the magic faded and the women was left in a pristine ritual room with her child.

"Mother! Father! It came!" Someone yelled breaking though the quite of the morning. Two parents jumped out of their bed and raced to their child's room. Rushing into the room revealed an androgynous child with platinum hair sitting on their bed. The childs mother quickly walked over to them and looked them over before calming slightly.
"Darling when have we told you that you were allowed to wake us like that?" She asked softly.
"My birthday, Christmas and if there is an emergency." The child dutifully replied.
"It is not your birthday or Christmas and you do not seem to be in great need of assistance so I do not believe it is an emergency either so why did you scare your mother and I?" The childs father asked as he sat down.
"I'm sorry for scaring you." The child whispered sadly.
"Thank you for apologizing but you didn't answer your fathers' question." The childs mother said patiently.
"My Hogwarts letter came!" The child exclaimed excitedly as they handed the crisp parchment to their mother.
"Oh darling that's magnificent!" She cried.
"When will we go shopping mother?" The child asked bouncing around slightly.
"Not until late July for clothes and things you will most likely grow between now and then." The child's mother said with a small smile.
