A/N Once more thanks sooooooooo much for the reviews. Now here's Chapter 9, the last single digit chapter shouldn't we have a party or something...Nah.
Chapter 9
Ryan came down the stairs Tuesday morning to find a very amusing sight, amusing to him at least. Harry and Lizzie were curled up together on the couch right in front of the fireplace sound asleep. He walked up behind them tapped them on the shoulders and yelled at them,
"Rise and shine lovebirds. Time to wake up!"
Harry and Lizzie awoke instantly and jumped off the couch and away from each other. They each had very red faces as they walked up to their dorms to change listening Ryan whistle the wedding march. As they passed each other Lizzie whispered in Harry's ear "Thanks for everything, Harry."
Harry once again had no memory at all of the dream he had had the night before.
That day passed normally. Almost too normally Harry though. When he told this to his friends while they were in the library during their afternoon break, they started laughing and told him he worried too much. They departed from the library moments later each heading to their next classes. They had not found one shred of information that would tell them how to seriously harm, let alone kill even one of their Professors if they had to.
After dinner, they met again in the library reasoning that their homework could wait until tomorrow night. They each had about five books they were looking through. They couldn't all fit on one table so Lizzie and Megan shared the table kicking Harry and Ryan out onto the floor. Harry lay on his stomach paging through a book that looked rather promising. Ryan was sitting next to him Indian style reading a very large fat green book. After about a half an hour, Ryan exclaimed,
"The butler did it!"
Harry, and the girls each stopped what they were doing abruptly and turned to look at Ryan.
"Come again?" Harry asked him wondering what in the world Ryan was talking about.
Lizzie and Megan exchanged a "he's going off his rocker" glance and then looked at Ryan again.
"The butler did it." Ryan replied simply leafing through the book.
"Ryan, there are people who can help you. We just don't know how much help they can give." Lizzie told him sarcastically turning back to her book. Megan and Harry had already resumed their position's paging through their books.
"Shut Up Lizzie. Really, guys listen to this." Ryan began reading from his book.
" 'About ninety years ago a witch named Verlinda the Great predicted that an evil wizard, more powerful than any other ever to appear on the Earth would come to power. He would be defeated once,'" Everyone looked at Harry, " 'And then rise again even more powerful than he had been before.' At this prediction, Verlinda who's power was even greater than that of Merlin's began working on a project that would conquer this evil wizard that would come to power in ninety years. She created one large crystal rock, very similar to the crystal that Knockridde Academy is made of. If anyone other than she and her butler were to touch the crystal, it would turn into a silvery liquid and flow through their pores into their body, making them powerful enough to conquer the dark wizard. Her mansion was built however right on a fault line and a major earthquake occurred there just days after she had finished her project. The earthquake killed Verlinda and shattered her rock into eight pieces. The butler, who had survived the earthquake quickly gathered the eight pieces of rock and placed them in a small sack. He realized that the only way his Lady's plan would work, would be if he could get one slice to flow into eight different people. Then if those eight people were to have children with each other, their children would be twice as powerful as they. Once those four children got together, they would be unstoppable by anyone or anything. There was however a catch. A person could not bring those four children together. They had to meet each other and realize their powers on their own or the slices of rock in them would evaporate. Very few people know who these children are. Their names are found in only one book, When the Dark Lord Rises, which there are only three copies of. One copy is located at Knockridde Academy in the USA. One in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in England and one in Durmstrang Academy in Bulgaria."
Ryan stopped out of breath.
Lizzie, Harry and Megan looked at each other, then at Ryan.
"Are you guys thinking what I'm thinking?" Harry asked them.
"Time for a kitchen raid? I'm starving." Ryan replied.
Megan smacked him on the head with her book.
"No you Bimbo, we could be those four children. Doesn't it seem strange we were all sent to this particular school at around the same time. And that at least one of all of our parents was killed by Voldemort and Voldmort tried to kill each of us but failed. Failed maybe because we have some of that rock stuff in us."
Lizzie looked at the floor Harry suspected she was beginning to cry but she suddenly looked up.
"We have to find that book. We know it's in the library here somewhere. What's it called? When the Dark Lord Rises? It's probably in the restricted section somewhere. C'mon you guys." As she stood up and headed for the restricted section Harry could see a glint of fierce hatred burning in her eyes.
"Wait." Harry jumped up and grabbed her shoulders. "We can't just walk into the restricted section during day hours." He jerked his head at the librarian who was watching them intently.
"Well I suppose not." Lizzie replied sitting down again.
"Maybe you can transform into an owl Lizzie and fly in there tonight and get the book." Ryan suggested.
"And how exactly is an owl that weighs barely ten pounds supposed to carry a book that must weigh at least eleven pounds?" Lizzie asked him.
"Oh."
Harry decided that he would now tell them about his invisibility cloak. When he had finished explaining how he had got it in his first year they gaped at him.
"Do you know how rare those are?" Ryan asked.
"Well duh. He's had it for at least four or five years. I think he should know how valuable it is by now." Lizzie told him.
"Yeah well anyway. I think we can all fit under it. We can use it tonight. Lets meet in the common room at one o' clock exactly." Harry said sleepily. The last thing he felt like doing right now was wandering through the school at one o' clock in the morning he thought remembering what happened to Lizzie and he last time.
"Right." Everyone agreed and they headed back to the common room.
Harry listened to Mo's loud snoring and Tim's heavy breathing. Ryan's light snoring was missing. Harry figured Ryan was lying awake waiting for one o'clock just like him. At exactly one, Ryan and Harry slipped out of their beds, Harry with his cloak under one arm. They met the girls downstairs.
"Wow. That's it." Megan whispered fingering the cloak longingly.
"Let's go guys." Lizzie said and threw the cloak over all four of them. It took them nearly an hour to get downstairs to the library. Two times as long as it would have taken them in the light. Then when the got there, to their surprise, the doors were locked. They tried the alohomora charm but for some reason it hadn't worked for any of them.
Ryan groaned loudly while Harry and Megan sighed in disbelief.
Lizzie however said simply,
"You guys wait here. I'll be right back."
With a small pop, Lizzie turned into an owl and flew away in the opposite direction. They sat on the ground very uncomfortably as they were still under the invisibility cloak. They had been there for about fifteen minutes when they hear a loud click. The library door opened and Lizzie was standing behind it.
"How did you...?" Megan asked.
"Being a predotransformus had it's advantages. It was really Ryan who gave me the idea. I flew through the open window and unlocked the door. Ta da." She told them.
"How did you know the window would be open?" asked Harry.
"Sometimes at night when I can't sleep I fly down here and read. It's so peaceful. Anyway c'mon lets go."
They slinked quietly over to the black curtain that separated the restricted section from the rest of the library and pulled it over. Behind the curtain was a brick wall.
"Ugh. We should've known it wouldn't be this easy." Megan sighed.
Harry instead began tapping the bricks with his wand and when he hit a certain discolored one the wall moved aside. Behind the wall were hundreds of old, dusty books. They looked for about 25 minutes before finding the right one.
"Here it is." Lizzie nearly shouted, "When the Dark Lord Rises."
"Shhh." Harry, Megan, and Ryan shushed Lizzie simultaneously as she began anxiously paging through the book. "Here it is." She whispered excitedly,
"The four children who have the power to defeat Voldemort when together are,
Lizzie Candence,
Ryan Relleh,
Megan Oversall,
And Harry Potter."
After about three minutes pause, Harry, who had suddenly remembered the dreams that had been haunting him for the past year, found the breath to whisper,
"It's us."
A/N Sorry this chapter was so short but the Sixers are on tonight and I really wanted to get this done before the game. I know I promised a Quidditch match this chapter too but I didn't have the time to put it in. There'll be Quidditch in the next chapter I SWEAR as well as Ron and Hermione and maybe a little more romance tee hee. Disclaimer: I'm sick of these. You know who goes with who so I'm not going to bother writing it. PLEASE Review! I love reviews. You don't know how much they mean to me. Actually maybe you do but oh well. Anyway I love reviews so thanks in advance if you review! Boy that was pathetic.
