2 days later
It was the begging of the summer vacation and Kristina was getting ready to go to
Hogsmeade as she had planned. "Having fun?" asked Drucilla, who was also staying that
summer. "Yes, and quite frankly, I wish you would leave me alone, you've been
following me around like a shadow since yesterday. Why don't you write to your snotty
boyfriend, Draco?" she asked rudely. "All right I will." she said. 'He's not snotty,
he's....." she started mumbling. "Yeah, whatever." Kristina said under her breath. "I'm
ready, let's go!" she said herself as she waltzed out of the common room.

"We have a new recruit." said Lord Voldemort. "She is now my Second in
Command, I shall have no problems with this shall I?" asked the Dark Lord. Whispers of
"No" floated through the room. Lucius Malfoy was in the very back and whispering
frantically to Crabbe, his Second. "I should've been the chosen one. It's just because of
that stupid prophesy that he picked her. Never has there ever been a woman recruit. It's
just not noble. I should have been it! I have been most loyal." he whispered frantically.
"L!" yelled the Dark Lord. "I was saying that someone amongst a traitor. Would that be
you?" he screamed. "No, my Lord, why would I ever do such a thing?" he bellowed as he
kissed the hem of his masters robes. "I am most loyal, please do forgive me for not
listening to you while you were speaking your word." he said hurriedly. "Nevertheless,
you shall have to be punished." he said with enthusiasm. "Crucio!" he yelled pointing his
wand at Lucius.

"This looks like a nice place." said Kristina top herself while she went into the
shop. The sign read "Phoebe's Preciousness: Since 880BC, The Best of The Best".
Walking into the store, Kristina saw a woman sitting at the counter wearing a bright sea
green dress, small glasses, a diamond embedded head band and elf shoes. Talk about
weird! Kristina thought to herself. There was one thing that the woman was wearing that
looked as though it was normal. It was a silver pendant that was very different form
whatever else she was wearing. On one half of the pendent was a sun and on the other was
a moon. The sun glowed as she looked at it. "May I help you, young lady?" asked the
shopkeeper. "No, I'm fine, just looking." she said quickly taking her eyes off the pendant.
"Ah, I see you've noticed my necklace. Most people do when they come in here, but the
sun on the pendant has never shone brighter for anyone else but you. Come here child."
she said. "I am a very old woman, and I have seen a great lot. You on the other hand have
seen little. This here Charm was found by me on one of my many trips to the country. It
was shining it's little heart out trying to get me to pick it up. I couldn't resist and I picked
it up and put it on this little chain here. Never since then has it shone as bright. But, as
soon as you walked in, it felt like it was grabbing for you. I am going to give this little
pendant to you. It tells you your mood and sometimes if you listen closely, it may even
talk to you." she said with a smile and handing her the chain and Charm. As soon as
Kristina touched the little golden sun, it shone brighter than it had before. Kristina looked
up to thank the lady, but she had disappeared into thin air. Walking out, Kristina felt like
she had a new bounce in her step and was soon at Zonko's, looking for pranks to pull on
Snape.

"But Dumbledore, is it possible? Two sorceresses and sorcerers? There are four?"
asked McGonagall. "Yes, Minerva, and the Ministry has found out that there are two extra
elements. There are the two first ones Lightning and Fire. Now there is Air and Water. I
think I know who the first 2 are." he said significantly. "Who?" asked the Professor.
"Harry, is obviously Lightning. Fire is Ron Weasly, I've been looking over his records and
he seems to do well with all of the Fire Charms and things. The other two have to be girls.
Watch them closely next year Minerva. There powers are supposed to show at the time of
their 15th birthday. Don't forget the Prophesy. I wish we hadn't lost the other half,
Cassandra was very precise when she made that prediction. I wish we could find it." he
said, reading the first half.
"Water, Fire, Air, and Lightning are the Ones. All are marked by two signs each.
Lightning is marked by the sign of Light and Bravery. Fire is marked by the signs of
Invincibility and Life. Air is marked by the signs of Death and Power, and Water is
marked by the signs of Beauty and Hope. Together they will learn the old and very
powerful art of magic called Purity. Apart, they aren't complete and will result in a War
between the Betrayed and the Loyal. Nothing will be...."

That night in her room, Kristina pondered over what the old woman had said.
"Sometimes, if you listen closely, it may even speak to you." Speak to me! That's
impossible! If it does then I know she was telling the truth. so Kristina sat with her ear to
the Charm. Nothing happened for 5 minutes. "This is useless!" she screamed aloud. "Why
am I doing this again? Oh, yeah cause that old lady is a dingbat and this pendant does not
talk!" she said to herself aloud. "Hello, I see you didn't believe her either. Well, then I
guess you should take me back, but, I see something in you I haven't seen in a long time."
wafted a little squeaky voice. "Who said that?" Kristina asked into the room. "Me, the
pendant, you know the one in your hand?" it said annoyed. "Are you serious, now I know
I've gone insane! Are you for real?" she asked now looking at the little sun and moon.
"Yes, now if you would like to know why I talk why don't you ask." said the small
charm. "Well, why do you talk?" asked Kristina. "I awoken the day a Sorcerer was born,
and a little later in that same year three others were born. I am the Guardian of the
Puritans. I assist the people they call the Ones. My name is Athelstan. But, who are you?"
he asked. "I am Kristina Nicolette Martinage. Do you have a whole name, or are you just
Athelstan?" she asked thoughtfully. "My whole name is Athelstan Cyrus Edward Ezra.
Would you like to know what it means?" Athelstan asked. "Sure, why not?" said Kristina.
"Um, another time someone is coming, don't talk to me unless you are by yourself.
Goodbye Kristina Nicolette Martinage." said Athelstan. Quickly hiding the pendant under
her shirt, she waited for whoever was there to come in. Suddenly, Drucilla waltzed in
looking very dusty. "I hope I'm not interupting, but my shower isn't working, may I use
yours?" she asked. "Yeah, sure, go ahead." said Kristina pretending to look at a magazine.
"Thanks." said Drucilla.
