Chapter 3
The Tests
"Ah, yes, that would be the thing to do, except for the fact that it is nearly 3:00 in the morning. Perhaps it would be best to wait until tomorrow. For reasons that you will find out tomorrow, you three and possibly others will be receiving your own common room and dormitory. Sirius will show you how to get there." Dumbledore said, all in one breath.
Sirius led them up and down many staircases, past the Gryffindor tower and once through a tunnel that looked oddly familiar. All of a sudden, he stopped. "This is the entrance to your new common room." Sirius said. He glanced at the portrait that they were standing in front of. "Your portrait will be this." he said, and he pulled a sheet off of the portrait to reveal a beautiful portrait of a phoenix. "You can design your own interior for the place, goodbye." Sirius said, and with that he vanished.
"Phoenexia is the new password." the portrait said.
"Phoenexia!" Hermione shouted and the portrait swung aside to reveal a blank but beautiful common room with three spiral staircases leading to different places.
"Wow!" Harry and Ron gasped at the same time, their breaths escaping them. "I suppose that we can't tell a soul about this or have any parties in it." Ron said, his face falling. to a very gloomy position.
"Right now, we have to choose a color scheme to paint the room" Hermione said.
"How about red and green?" Harry asked and with a murmur of agreement, they started to paint the walls. After a few hours of making the dorms and room look perfect, and only after they were perfectly content with the way they had made the room look, did they finally sit down on the couch and start to talk.
"Do you think they will still let me play on the quidditch team?" Harry asked the others, worried that he would have to quit his favorite sport.
"I don't think so, Harry." said Ron, yawning.
"Why don't we go to bed now?" Hermione said and with that, they went to their dorms and fell asleep.

"Harry, Harry wake up!" Ron said, a tone of urgency in his voice. "We've got to meet Dumbledore in the Great Hall in ten minutes!" Ron exclaimed.
"Why didn't you say so?" Harry wondered as he threw his robes on and sped out of the common room door with Ron and Hermione at his side.
"Ah, Harry, Ron, Hermione, how nice of you to join us." Dumbledore said in as much of a sarcastic voice as the old wizard could muster. "I would like you to meet our new transfer student for this year, Xiaou Kai Do." Dumbledore said, moving to reveal a shockingly beautiful oriental girl who was their age. "She is one of the others that will be staying in your dormitory this year. I'm sure that you will make her feel right at home." he noted. "Now, we must go on to more important matters." he said "Oh and Xiaou, could you please take a seat next to Harry there?" he gestured toward Harry.
"Of course, Professor." Xiaou said, with a Korean accent as she sat down next to Harry.
"Now children." Dharlo Tetrop started. "We are here to test you for a few things. The qualities of Necromancy, Elemental and Animagi. Each a very hard subject to master. The tests will simply search you for qualities found in these different magi." he said. "When I call your name, please step up to the platform."
he gestured to a platform a few feet away from him. "Harry Potter." he said. Harry slowly walked up to the platform, a look of dread on his face.
"Now Harry," Professor Dumbledore began "When I say go, I want you to point your wand at your throat and say the following incantation:" he cleared his throat "Animolus Bolesco!" he said. "You see it is not really that hard." he noted. "Ready, Go!"
"Animolus Bolesco!" Harry shouted, his wand pointed at his throat. There was a poof of smoke and Harry turned into a black phoenix! Unearthly music poured out of his beak and he flew around the great hall before he turned back into a human an collapsed on the floor.
"Wow Harry, that was amazing! Turning into a magical creature is a mark of an heir to one of the four Hogwarts founders and an extremely powerful wizard! Hermione exclaimed. The others did the animagi test and Ron turned into a white tiger, Hermione into an eagle and Xiaou into a panda.
"Splendid job, everybody." Professor Dumbledore said. "Harry, Xiaou, can you follow me, Ron, Hermione you are free to go back to your dormitories. Harry and Xiaou followed Professor Dumbledore down the hallway to his office.
"Harry, Xiaou you see the reason that you are the only two that are able to take this test, is because I believe you two to be the most powerful students in the school." he explained, moving his hands to the text as he went along. "Watch your step here, that's right." he said as they went through a hidden passage, by now they had already entered Dumbledore's office and were in a tunnel that was behind the bookshelf in his office. "Now stop!" he said as he almost ran into a golden wall of energy. He whispered a few words at the leg of the table, and the wall was gone. He handed a red bracelet to Harry and a yellow one to Xiaou. "Now children, you must leave now, hands and I will morph you back to your common room." they did as they were told and within a few seconds they were back in their common room, safe and sound.
