A/N; Sorry about taking long, but I caught a cold, and it is slowing my writting progress, but expect the next chapter in two weeks, unless my cold is over by then, and thanks for the reviews, and look forward to reading more. Also I don't own Harry Potter or it's charecters.
Days later, after Alex brought her new found cousins to the school of Elementals, Alex was happily getting ready in her room, since today, she was going to learn what Element Mark Evans was, when there was a knock on the door. "Mark, Samantha you can come in now." Alex called out to them, and the door opened, to let the two kids in. "Good morning Aunty Alex." Both kids said at the same time. "Guys, please just call me Alex. Aunty Alex makes me feel old." Alex lightly scolded, but smiled, since they both were acting like Shawnee, since she been calling Alex Aunty, since the first time they met. "Aunty Alex, when are going to see my Element." Mark asked, ignoring Alex comment. "Probably after breakfast, I still need to see Professor Crystal, before I take you out to the practice field." Alex said; glad to be the one to help Mark search for his Element. "Can I come too, can I come too?" Samantha quickly asked. "Sorry Samantha, Mark needs to do this on his own, and we have a rule, which only two people are allowed to be out there, when practicing their Elemental power for the first time." Alex said, as she and her cousins left her room.
Right after breakfast, Alex was in Crystal office, getting last minute instructions. "Are you sure Mark understands everything he read about Elementals, and how to show his aura?" Crystal asked. "I'm sure, since I had questioned him about the books, and he has no trouble answering all of it." Alex honestly said. "Good, then I hope he will find his Element today, and we can get started on his training, by tomorrow." Crystal informed, and Alex nodded. "Then I better get going Mark is anxious to get started." Alex said as she got up. "Alrighty then, good luck Alex." Crystal called out, as Alex left the office.
Sometime later, Alex had teleported herself and Mark in the middle of the training field. "Now that we are here, let's start." Alex started, looking to Mark. "Now you remember what to do, Mark?" Alex asked. "Focus on my favorite thing I like to do." Mark said, without a doubt. "Good, then sit down, and close yours and get ready." Alex said, and Mark quickly sat down and did as Alex said.
It took awhile for Mark's aura to show, and for a while, Alex was started to worry that Mark was not going to do it, till a orb of colors appeared around Mark. "Good you got it." Alex said, and Mark opened his eyes. "WOW, that my aura?" Mark asked. "Yep, now let's see what the dominant color is." Alex said, looking at the different colors.
About ten minute of searching for a dominant color, Alex was confused. "That is strange, I should be able to tell the dominant color, but I can't." Alex said, as she slowly walked about the aura. "Aunty Alex, if you can't find my element, does that mean I'm not an Elemental?" Mark said, looking worried. "Of course you are one, since Professor Crystal can tell you have the ability, but not the element." Alex said, still looking.
Another five minutes pass, Alex stopped her pacing. "This is getting nowhere, there got to be another…" Alex stopped, since just remembered something. "Darn, I guess I got to do that way?" Alex said looking unsure about it. "What are you going to do Aunty Alex?" Mark asked, seeing the way Alex was looking. "I will need to use my mind abilities, to probe for your Element, and this won't be easy, especially for me, according to my readings." Alex said, as she sat down in front of Mark. "Now close your eyes and we will get started." Alex said, as she closed her eyes, and concentrated on Mark.
It took a second of concentration, and Alex was in a sea of colors swirling around her. "WOW, this is amazing." Alex thought; as streams of colors flew, pass her. "Now to find the dominant one," Alex thought, and started searching.
It felt like hours, as Alex swam threw numerous colors, and still she could not find the dominant one. "Something's not right, Mark must be an Elemental." Alex thought, then it hit her, all colors was swirling more then a feet from her sight, and Alex could tell she was traveling threw a tunnel. "No way, the dominant color is crystal clear, but there is no known Element for it." Alex thought, as she stopped moving. "Shoot, how are going to train Mark, if we don't know his Element, unless…" Alex stopped thinking and closed her eyes, and now focused on the new Element.
It took a moment, and Alex was standing in a meadow full of animals, trees, and plants. "Alright it is not fire for sure." Alex thought, since a vision of the Element, would show the most common form of it. "Not air, or water, and it can't be ground?" Alex thought, as she pace about. "Shoot, the books don't show anything like this for any of known Elements." Alex stopped thinking, and looked about. "One way to do this is to find what all of these have in common." Alex thought, and looked about.
Alex looked about the meadow. "What do trees, plants and animals have in common?" Alex thought, and compared each one. "Intelligence, no. Cardiac systems, no. Eyes, no." After naming a large number of others, Alex got frustrated. "The only thing left is that they are all alive." Alex screamed, and it hit her. "Mark's Element is Life." With that thought, Alex closed her eyes, and in the next second, was in her body.
Once Alex was back in her body, she looked to Mark. "That was fast, did you find my Element?" Mark asked. "What, how long was I out for?" Alex asked. "You were sitting for a couple minutes." Mark informed. "I know what's your Element is, Mark, but it is not in any books I had looked into, so let head back to Crystal's office." With that said, Alex teleported her and Mark back to the school.
Once back in Crystal's office, Alex and Mark found Crystal pouring over a large book. "Alex there is no Life Element, listed in any of the records we have access to." Crystal said, before Alex could say anything. "But you are right; his Element is Life, meaning he may have the ability to control life energy." Crystal informed. "But what can that ability do?" Alex asked. "Simple, he can probably absorb life energy from other living things, to heal himself or others, to give strength to a dying person, maybe to the point that person will not die, there are so many possible uses for this Element." Crystal informed, to a shock Alex. "Do you think he could use this to bring people back from the dead?" Alex asked. "I'm afraid not, dead is dead no matter which way you slice it, there is no coming back, but if the person has been dead not more then ten minutes, there might be a chance to revive them." Crystal said looking lost in thought. "Then we should train Mark Element in secret, and only train him in shape-shifting with the others." Alex suggested, and Crystal nodded accepting the suggestion. "Then it is settled, Alex you can start training him in private, use your Mind Element, to help guide him with his powers, I'm sure it will help him greatly." Crystal suggested, and Alex nodded. "But for now, I think you should head back to Hogwarts, and take your cousins with you, since I think they would like the experience, and I want you three to come back before curfew." Crystal said and Alex nodded, as she left the office with Mark, to find Samantha.
Back at Hogwarts, Alex and her two cousins were called into Dumbledore's office, where Dumbledore looked surprise at Alex's guests. "Why hello there, welcome to Hogwarts." Dumbledore said, as he got up to meet Alex's cousins. "Professor Dumbledore, I would like you to meet my cousins, Mark, whom is a Life Elemental, and Samantha Evans." Alex said, as she introduced them. "Glad to meet you both." Dumbledore pleasantly said as he gesture them to sit, then looking at Alex. "A Life Element, I never thought there was one." Dumbledore said, looking unsure. "Yes, it did surprise both me and Professor Crystal, but we are sure about it professor." Alex confirmed. "Well then Mark, I hope you use your powers wisely." Dumbledore said pleasantly to Mark. "I will sir." Mark said, sounding like he meant it. "And Samantha, I am surprise, Crystal would let a child as young as you, enter her school." Dumbledore said. "I will be going to a primary wizarding school, till my powers start to manifest." Samantha said happily. "Well, I wish you luck on your ability." Dumbledore said pleasantly, and then turn to Alex. "I'm glad you have a family, I'm sure you are very happy now." Dumbledore said as he smiled at Alex. "I am sir, and Professor Crystal is letting me be their legal guardian." Alex said proudly. "Professor Crystal had chosen the right person for the job." Dumbledore said, as he smiled at Alex. "Professor Dumbledore, do you mind if I show Mark and Samantha about the school." Alex asked hopefully. "I will, only if you let me join you Alex." Dumbledore said as he smiled, and Alex nodded, as they left the office.
Since many of the students and other professors was in classes, Alex, her cousins, and Dumbledore was the only ones in the hallway, talking about various things about Hogwarts, and showing interesting sight like the moving staircases and the enchanted ceiling. Then before lunch, Alex went into her trunk, to both show her cousins the rooms, and charm probably over five hundred StarFires broomsticks, before sending them off to Quality Quidditch Supplies.
As lunch came about, Alex and her cousins left Dumbledore as they headed to their tables in the great hall, and met up with her best friends. "Ron, Hermione, meet my cousins Mark and Samantha Evans." Alex said, as she introduced them. "Good to meet you both." Ron said brightly. "Alex, I did not know you had cousins. Are they going to the other school?" Hermione asked. "Yes, Mark is a Life Elemental, but since Samantha is too young to attend school, she is going to a primary wizard school." Alex informed, and soon, they all were catching up on latest news, which was not that much.
Right after dinner, Sirius and Remus met Mark and Samantha, but unfortunately for Sirius, Alex made sure he didn't teach her cousins any pranks, unlike her Harry counterpart, Alex had no intention of making her cousins Marauders, had made sure Sirius knew that, before teleporting herself, and her cousins back to Crystals.
