"Don't tell your mother you've been gambling," implored Mr Weasley as the party of the Weasleys, the Diggorys, the Delacours, the Blacks, Hermione, Remus and Harry make their way slowly down the purple-carpeted stairs on their to the tents.

"Don't worry, Dad, we've got big plans for this money," replied Fred gleefully," We don't want it confiscated."

Mr. Weasley looked as if he wants to ask what these big plans are, but decided against it.

"So, how long are you staying for?" asks Fleur to Harry.

Harry kept on walking, not knowing the answer for the question.

"Umm-"

"Three more days," interrupted Fred, replying for Harry

"Me too!" said Fleur excited.

Fleur hugged Harry tightly, which made Cedric and the others snigger and Harry to glare at them.

"Don't worry about them," said Fleur," they're just jealous."

Fleur pecked Harry on the cheek.

This made Cedric, Draco, Krum and the twins stop laughing, shocked. Grinning at this Harry takes Fleur's hand in his own .

From the corner of his eye Harry could see Ron, Hermione and Ginny all giving Fleur dirty looks. Again Harry could feel his anger like electric shocks his in blood.

Before Harry completely lost his cool they reached the tents. To everyone's surprise none other than Albus Dumbledore is stood waiting for them.

"Good evening, Arthur," said Dumbldore," would you mind if I borrow a few of your charges for while?"

Mr Weasley nodded. At this Harry, Ron and Hermione step forward out of reflex.

Dumbledore, ignoring Harry, Ron and Hermione actions, said," Good, could I borrow Mr Potter, Mr Diggory, Mr Krum, Mr Black and Miss Delacour."

Dumbledore gestured to Harry, Cedric, Viktor, Draco and Fleur respectively.

Mr Weasley nodded again.

"I'd also like to speak to Sirius, Remus and Amos," continued Dumbledore.

The three mentioned give each other knowing looks.

"We can use my tent, if you want," said Amos.

Dumbledore nodded and entered Amos's tent. Those asked to see Dumbldore followed him in. Ron and Hermione looked angry and the twins laughed at this.

Inside the tent was a sparingly decorated living/kitchen room with a large number of of doors leading of it to what Harry presumed were bedrooms. A large table sat in the middle of the room with at least 12 chairs around it. All those present took a seat, with Dumbledore at the head.

"I asked to speak to you for two reasons," said Dumbledore. "The first reason is about a prophecy, a prophecy that is closely linked to both Lord Voldemort (Harry was glad to see that at the mention of Voldemort's name no-one flinched) and you Harry."

Everyone bar Sirius, Remus and Amos looked surprised.

"What is this prophecy?" asked Harry confusedly. "Who made it?"

"The prophecy was given by none than Sybil Trealawney," anwsered Dumbledore. "The prophecy goes like this.

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches.

Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies.

And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not.

And either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives.

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies."

Harry froze in shock at this revelation. Fleur put a comforting arm around his shoulder.

"This prophecy refers to you, Harry, as it says the one to vanquish the Dark Lord would be born at the end of July like you and would be born to parents who had defied him three times. Your parents deified him thrice," explained Dumbledore.

"So you're telling me that my parents are dead because of a bloody prophecy?" shouted Harry angrily as he felt the felt the shocks in his body again.

Dumbledore nodded gravely.

Harry stood up," Bullshit! I'm gonna find Voldemort and when I do I'll destroy whatever's left of that twisted bastard!"

Fleur also stood up and pulled Harry into hug. To everyone's surprise Harry began to cry. After five minutes Harry broke the hug and wiped his eyes and sat down at the same time as Fleur.

"Why did you never tell me?" asked Harry calmly.

"I wanted you to have a childhood Harry, I'm telling you this prophecy now because you are mature enough to deal with it. Especially after walking away from that argument with Miss Granger and Mr Ronald Weasley earlier," replied Dumbledore.

"With all due respect sir, but I punched Ron," said Harry.

"But you still walked away instead of brawling, although might I say, that was an impressive right hook," explained Dumbledore chuckling.

For the next half an hour the Headmaster of Hogwarts proceeded to outline to important parts of the prophecy.

"Sir, you mentioned a second reason," stated Draco.

"Ahh yes, this is slightly more interesting subject," replied Dumbledore," Have you ever heard of elemental magic?"

"It's conjuring an element with your wand," replied Fleur.

"Correct, also into every generation a sole wizard or witch is born with the ability to harness the power of a certain element without a wand and with much greater power," explained Dumbledore.

"Wow!" chorused Harry, Cedric and Draco.

"Most usually there is five per generation although a few hundred years ago there was eight at the same time," continued Dumbledore.

"Sir, why are telling us this?" asked Harry.

"Because the five of you are elementalists," stated Dumbledore to the shock of the teenagers.

"Us?" asked Cedric incredulity.

Dumbldore nods," your powers were awoken today, when the five of you met for the first time,"

"What elements are there?" asked Viktor.

"There is eight types," replied the aged headmaster," Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Lightning, Light, Dark and Ice. An Earth Elementalist can summon vines, control rocks and dig underground. A Water Elementalist can summon and control water, as well as being able to breathe underwater. An Air Elementalist can create strong gusts of wind and can fly. A Fire Elementalist can summon and control fire, as well as being impervious to it. A Lightning Elementalist can summon and control lightning and electricity. Light and Dark Elementalists are known to be incredibly talented at martial arts. Also, they can summon areas of light or dark, depending on their element, around them and only they can see through it. Finally, an Ice Elemetalist can summon and control ice, they are also impervious to cold temperatures."

The teenagers sat in stunned silence.

"Light and Dark Elementalists only appear every few centuries and there has only ever been one Ice Elementalist. The other elements appear in every generation," continued Dumbledore.

"Are there an elementalists alive?" asked Fleur.

Dumbledored chuckled," yes, I am a Light Elementalist. I defeated Grindewald, who was a Dark Elementalist, at the cost of the other five elementalists of my generation."

"The last generation was the core five elements," continued Dumbledore.

"Who were they?" asked Viktor.

"The Fire Elementalist was Lily Potter," replied Dumbledore making Harry's jaw drop.

"Really?" asked Harry disbelievingly.

"Yes, your father was the Lightning Elementalist," stated the ancient wizard.

"Who were the others?" asked Draco.

"I think you'll find them in this room," replied Dumbledore.

Slowly the heads of the teenagers swivelled to look at Sirius, Remus and Amos, all who had kept rather quiet since the conversation began.

Sirius laughter at the shocked faces of the teenagers. Beside him a small, wistful smile spread across the face of Remus, happy to he his friend truly laugh for the first time since escaping Azkaban.

"Yes Prongslet, we are," said Sirius.

Remus sighed," I'm the Water Elementalist, Sirius is the Air and Amos is the Earth."

"Are the powers heredity?" asked Cedric, noting the family ties between the two generations.

"Not directly Father to Son usually, but a relative," answered Dumbledore," Harry inherited it from his parents, Cedric from you father, Draco is the second cousin of Sirius, Fleur great-grandmother was the Water Elementalist in my generation and there was an Air Elementalist in the generation prior to mine called Ivan Krum."

"So, what do the elements look like?" asked Fleur.

"This," stated Sirius.

Sirius stepped forward and his whole body began to glow yellow, followed by Amos and Remus who began to glow green and blue respectively.

Then a strong breeze began to form around Sirius. Remus produced water, which he shaped into different objects. Finally Amos sprouted vines from the ground which began to creep over the floor and ground shook slightly.

After a minute the three men cancelled their powers.

"Sir, what are our elements?" asked Harry.

"Other than that the five of you possess the core elements, I can't tell you till you activate you elements," replied Dumbledore," to activate your elements you must close your eyes and picture you feel will be the most likely to be our element. You need to feel the element, you'll be able to tell if you've found your element or not. If not simple try a different one until you find your elements."

"Should we do it now?" asked Cedric impatiently.

Dumbledore nods.

Harry closed his eyes, he figured his element was most like to be fire or lightning because of his parents. Picking one at random, Harry pictured a flame, but could not feel any magical powers.

Harry then pictured lightning and smiled as he had always liked lightning since he was a child. Immediately he could feel a rush of energy through his body which began to collect in his hands. Opening his eyes and looking at his hands Harry gasped. His hand were glowing purple and had little sparks of lightning dancing around them.

Fleur closed and immediately decided to try water. Quickly summoning a picture of water in her head, she could feel waves of energy emanating from her hands. Slowly Fleur opened her eyes and looked at her hands. Her hands were glowing blue and the glow was flowing around her hands like water.

XXXXXXXXXX

Cedric closed his eyes and quickly came to the conclusion that his element was most likely earth, like his father. Cedric pictured earth in his mind and straight away he could feel it power flowing through his body and collecting in his hands. Opening his hand Cedric looked at his hands, which were now glowing green.

Viktor slowly shut his eyes. He thought back to what his father had said his great-grandfather what called. He quickly remember his great-grandfather was in fact called Ivan Krum. In his mind pictured strong gusts of wind.

Almost instantaneously Viktor felt warmth of energy flow through him and settle in his hands. Opening his eyes he looked at his hands. His hands were glowing yellow and he could feel the cold from the wind swirling around his hand cooling his hands.

XXXXXXXXXX

Draco slowly shut his eyes. He decided to try air first as Sirius was an Air Elementalist and it make sense for them to possess the same elements. Draco quickly summoned a picture of wind, but could not feel an special powers.

Sighing disappointedly Draco picture water and how it flowed, but nothing happened. Draco then decided to picture fire in his mind, immediately he could energy in his blood, burning like fire.

Draco slowly opened his eyes to see his hands were alight with a red glow that looked oddly like fire.

Dumbledore's usually somber expression changed quickly to one of shock when he saw the teenagers's hands glowing like they were.

It had taken himself a whole year to get to the level he teenagers were at, Sirius, Remus and Amos had taken even longer.

Slowly the light of the teenagers's faded," that display of elemental magic in someone as inexperienced as yourselves is very powerful," said Dumledore.

As this Dumbldore had the teenager ms go through an hour long session of drills for their elements, which ended with Cedric, Draco and Viktor getting a through soaking from Fleur due their comments at the connection between Fleur and Harry.

"I think that is enough," said Dumbledore.

The five teens slumped into chairs, breathless from their drills.

"I'm afraid that I must leave you now, I trust you will joining the celebrations," said Dumbledore turning to leave.

Harry quickly looked at his watch, only ten pm, he had thought it had been much later.

"Sir?" questioned Harry.

"Yes Harry," replied Dumbledore.

"Why has this happened to us, here, right now?" asked Harry.

"Fate Harry," answered the Headmaster," Fate."

Dumbledore then disapperated.

"Right, I think it's time Fleur when back to her tent," said Sirius, standing up," We don't want her parents thinking she and Harry have up to anything they shouldn't be," he finished slyly, making everyone laugh bar Harry and Fleur, who glared at him.

"Why don't you walk Fleur home, Harry?" asked Viktor cheekily.

"What about you?" questioned Harry.

Viktor turned to Amos," I was wondering if I could stay here tonight? I don't really want to face my team right now."

"No, it's fine if you stay here," replied Amos.

"Now, you two, go," said Sirius whilst pushing Harry and Fleur out the door.

On the the trip back to Fleur's tent, she and Harry held hands and chatted about their lives and how it was to be the Boy-Who-Lived and a quarter-veela.

Arriving at the tent, the two turned to face each other.

"Well, this is it," said Harry.

"We'll be seeing each other soon at Hogwarts," replied Fleur.

Harry nodded.

Then their eyes met, blue to green. For a few seconds they stared into each other eyes, then they leaned forwards and their lips met.

The kiss only lasted a few seconds, but it immediately became Harry's best memory, which Harry silently mused would make a very powerful patronus.

Breaking apart the two leaned their their forehead against the other's.

Fleur stepped back," see you at the entrance to your campsite at 11 am tomorrow."

"It's a date," stated Harry, making Fleur smile broadly.

Fleur leaned in and kissed Harry on the cheek. "Bye."

"Night," replied Harry.

Fleur turned and walked into her tent.

Harry also turned around, walking back to his tent with a goofy grin plastered on his face.
