Chapter One: Essence of Light
Once upon a dreary night, An evil wizard came and took away one little boy's whole family. Soon, he had advanced on the boy and tried to kill him as he had done his parents, but the spell backfired and hit him and he lost all his powers while the baby boy left with only a lightning scar on his forehead. That was 14 years ago and to this day everyone still fears and talks about it. There are many theories to how the boy was not killed by this all powerful curse. The most famous one is that his mother had given him extra protection that the villain could not kill him and afterward, could not touch him. That boy is alive today and his name is Harry Potter. He is currently attending his 5th year at Hogwarts. He and his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, now have to embark on a journey to find out answers to Harry's lost past, but before I tell you that story, I have to tell you this story.
*********************************************************
A cloud of spell-fire engulfed a 6th year girl with dark hair. Her name was Cho Chang. She was trying to get her spell right. "Alright! Finally got it!" She said as a nice cushion was conjured up in front of her. "Thank goodness you got it Cho," said a girl from Hufflepuff whom she didn't even know her name. She seemed to like Cho though. Cho smiled, "Well, thank you." Cho packed her things and hurried into the corridor. She looked down it and spotted him: Harry Potter. He was with his usual gang consisting of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. A small pudgy boy she thinks name is Neville Longbottom stood near them. Cho sighed. Her friends said that Harry was cute, but it just wasn't good for her to date him. If Cedric hadn't asked her, she would have went to the Yule Ball with Harry. Most people said Cedric was handsome and all, but Cho had a strange attraction to Harry.......
Harry looked down the corridor at Cho. She seemed to be staring at him, but she looked away to two 1st years pulling at her robes. "Who are those kids hanging around Cho?" Harry asked Hermione who was anxious to go to the library. "Well, I think their names are Sachi and Kado: Cho's younger brother and sister." She tapped her foot on the stone floor. "ALRIGHT Hermione, but enough with the toe tapping." Ron said and grabbed Harry as they steered him away from Cho and to the library.
"Why do you want to come here anyway Hermione??? What are you looking up?" Ron whined to Hermione as she led them deeper and deeper into the library. "I'll know when I find it." She repeated looking at the bindings of the ancient books.
Ron was now the one tapping his toe. Harry sneaked away from the aisle that they were on and hurried to the very back of the library. "So, this is how Hermione fells." Harry whispered as he looked for a book that he had no clue why he was looking for it. An odd feeling had come over him to look for a book in this section. As he reached out and touched the bindings of a particularly thick book, something hit him on top of his head. "OW!" Harry screamed and some girls at a near by table "shhed" him. He picked up the small, but heavy book that had collided with his head. The cover was very frail and old and he could barely read the words that were printed on that cover. It was an ugly mud color, the kind of mud that you see at the bottom of a puddle, and puke green stains covered it. Harry grimaced. He opened it and it was blank, just as one book had been only one time before in Harry's life: Tom Marvolo Riddle's diary. He had found it after the girls bathroom on the 1st floor, dubbed the name Moaning Myrtle's bathroom after the girl ghost who lived there, had flooded and Harry and Ron went to investigate. That was the same year the Chamber of Secrets was opened for the second time. Thinking that this could be yet another book that could led Harry to trouble, he placed it on a table near by and went to find Ron and Hermione.
"Oh, Harry. You really should have gotten the book. No harm could have came of it," Hermione said as she finished up her potions homework. They were sitting at a table in the common room trying to finish at least half the homework the teachers had given them. Even Hermione was having trouble. "Come off it, Hermione! People like us LEARN from out mistakes. If he had gotten that book, we would be in even more trouble then we could have handled. Just like in our 2nd year," Ron said smartly and went back to his own potions homework which wasn't near finished. Hermione made a noise and cleared her things away. Harry looked at her and could see she was in deep thought. She was biting her lip and tapping her fingers. "Give it a rest Hermione," Harry said smiling and went back to work.
Cho was in the Ravenclaw common room in usual spot by the nice fireplace. She hopped she wouldn't be disturbed by anyone. Sachi and Kado had already went to bed so they shouldn't be coming to bother her either. She was nearly alone except for some late night people still doing wok or just coming in. She yawned. She was pretty tried too much dreaming and too much thinking. Then she heard it for the 15th time that evening. Slicing through the air like a knife through butter. Sounding even more chilling that shivers were sent up her spine and her hair stood on end. "Come to em Cho....I need you Cho.....," the voice was so familiar, but yet, so gruesome sounding. Cho looked around the common room, no one else seemed to be in there. She turned back around and let out a deafening scream.
Harry woke abruptly. His scar had had a sharp pain that ending as quickly as he started. He hadn't had a dream and Voldemort just couldn't be here. So what was going on??? Was Wormtail here??? No, that wouldn't make his scar hurt. And it was only for a brief second..... What was going on. Harry got up and hurried down to the dark common room. Ginny Weasley was over near the fireplace swaying slightly like in an Odyssey of dreams. She seemed to humming a tune and then her head looked up sharply. "Hello, Harry," She said swaying again, "You must protect the Essence of Light, Harry. She needs you." Then she fainted. Ron had now came down the stairs and rushed to Ginny. "What happened?" he asked Harry who looked dumbfounded. "She fainted," Harry explained
Cho's attacker advanced on her like a lion stalking her prey. Cho couldn't do anything, but sit with her back pressed to the back of the chair and a look of sheer terror on her eyes. Cho could not see the person due to the darkness of the common room and the hooded cloak he/she wore, but whomever they was was surely taking their time to attack her. It then started chanting, "Essence of Darkness bring us the light. Essence of Light, fear the Dark. Bring thee the Book of the Living and bury the Book of the Dead!" Cho's body went limp in the chair. The strange ancient incantation made her whisper, "You are my master, Oh Essence of Darkness, I fear you. I must follow you." She stood up and followed this mysterious figure into a secret passage that was four chairs over and one desk down.
Harry rushed down the corridor skidding on wet patches where Peeves had thrown water balloons at unsuspecting passer-bys. He didn't know why, but that book in the library had more meaning then it was giving off. He reached the boor and it was already a jar. When he tried to go through it, he bumped into what seemed to be a glass barrier. Standing on the other side of that barrier was Cho Chang standing with her wand outstretched. She muttered something. "Bring forth thee messenger to guide us on our way. Bring forth the Watcher to triumph the day!" Cho shouted the last word. Harry memorized what she had said and tried to get to the barrier, but Cho seemed to be determined not to let him through. She kept repeating what she had just said. Harry tried to disarm Cho with his wand, but the spell just bounced off. Cho laughed then continued repeating. Then there was a flash of bright blue light.
