Disc - etc etc etc. read the last chapters, you'll find it.


THE OTHER TWO

Harry held the staff in his hand, shocked almost out of his senses. "But I can't be the Keeper of Lamantha, I am not a very powerful wizard and you said that he'd be the most powerful ever."

"Oh yes you are, Harry. You haven't achieved full strength yet, but when you do, you'll be a force to reckon with. The Rod has spoken." Said Dumbledore

Hermione cut in impulsively, "But Professor, you said there would be four elementals, there are only the two of us. Who are the others? And what training will we be getting?"

"Well Hermione as you might have guessed, you are the fire elemental. You can control flames of all variety, including volcanoes. Fire elementals are the strongest, as well as the ones to emerge first. That is why you are so good at your lessons, of course entirely apart from the fact that you work at them. Your basic characteristics are that you are focused, intelligent and extremely powerful. Godric Gryffindor, himself was a fire elemental. I myself will undertake your training, since I am a Fire Elemental myself. Ron, you are the Earth Elemental. You have powers over the basic terrain, you can lift the ground, use mud, dirt etc as weapons. As a matter of fact an Earth Elemental created the cliffs of Devon, as he wanted to protect England from France. Not that he succeeded, but he did manage to make them look nice. Your qualities are that you are practical, loyal and kind. Very important qualities, each one of them. Helga Hufflepuff was an Earth Elemental. For your training, we have the Earth Elemental from the last generation, the only elemental of the last generation - Sirius Black."

A babble rose from all three of them. Sirius just grinned, unperturbed by their reaction. "Well, you surely didn't think I was sitting here for the kicks, did you? I also have some contribution to make, and will I be glad to make it."

Dumbledore continued, "I am not quite sure of who the other two are. I have my theories, but they haven't been tested yet. There was a reason I asked Professor Speller to teach the Respiratus Curse. Yours was the first class to be taught it, now we will have to see who else is successful. The water elemental and the wind elemental are yet to be determined. If I am not mistaken we will know very soon."

Just then Ginny Weasely stumbled in. "Professor Dumbledore, Professor Speller sent me. I managed the Respiratus Curse, I was the only one who was capable of doing it." Just then her eyes fell on the other three and widened. "What are you guys doing here?"

The professor smiled, "Miss Weasely, we were expecting you. Please sit down. There are things we have to tell you. Please be seated." Dumbledore proceeded to explain the entire matter to her and had just about finished when the last person they had expected to see walked in.

"No, it can't be happening," groaned Ron. "Not Malfoy! Of all the people in the blasted school, why did it have to be Malfoy?"

Draco gave his usual sneer. "Don't know what you are doing here, but Speller sent me. Something about having done some spell successfully. Don't know what the big deal is either."

"Well, well," said Dumbledore. "Not unexpected, I assure you Mr. Weasely. Not unexpected at all. All of you, including Mr. Malfoy have shown a great deal of potential power. Now is the time for you to explore it. If I am not mistaken, Mr. Malfoy knows all about elementals, so all I need to tell him is that he is a Water Elemental. You, Miss Weasely are, in that case, obviously the Wind Elemental. Mr. Potter, Mr. Malfoy, is the Keeper of Lamantha, and the sooner you learn to get along, the better."

Very grudgingly Draco shook hands with Harry, who looked equally furious about it. "Now," said Dumbledore. "The sooner the training starts the better. So tomorrow onwards you will be given intensive training."

"But," said Harry. "You will train Herm, and Sirius will train Ron, but what about Ginny and Mal… Draco. And me. How are we going to learn anything?"

Dumbledore smiled. "Come with me," he said. "There are people I need you to meet." He led the way into the hall. "Your teachers will be here any minute now. Till then I want you to realize that there are going to be a lot of problems ahead of you. You are going to have to learn a lot of stuff, which you'd find difficult otherwise. For example, Prof. McGonnagall is going to teach you how to become Animagi. I am not saying that it's easy. All I am saying is that you are capable of it.

"Ahh, here come your teachers. Now I would advice you to mind your P's, Q's and R's around them. they are a little touchy. "

Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Draco said in unison, "THEM!!!"
