Harry Potter and the order of phoenix

By Maddy

Chapter 19: The order of phoenix part two.

A/n Yay I'm up to 50 reviews and I honestly thought I'd never get there.

"That was the call to the order of phoenix" said a voice from behind him. Harry turned to see (surprisingly) Nicola

"And that would be?"

"The thing that we're studying in History."

"Right, no one pays attention to that."

"Come on, we have to find some where quieter, so I can tell you about it." They crossed the grounds and sat o the highest stand on the Quidditch pitch. "The order of phoenix is an order set up by light wizards to stop evil oppressors. The heirs of good light wizards take part in it. Up until now it has been, well non- active since 1981."

"So who are you the heir of?"

"Merlin. It's actually quite funny. Sometimes I take the meetings and the order of Merlin and most of the witches and wizards are over double my age. They listen to me as if no one knew any better."

"Wait! Hold on. Why am I in this? I'm not the heir of any one."

"You don't know! You are the heir of the Potters they have been light wizards since the dawn of time. You are also the heir of Gryffindor from your great, great, great grandmother on you fathers side. I can't believe they didn't tell you of all people."

"No one tells me any thing."

"Well then I'll have to explain. Ad the heirs we have stronger powers then most witches or wizards. We have the ability to change into any thing, shape shifters if you will. There is another name for it but I can never remember it. You also have a special power coming from the heir so I guess you'll have two. Don't ask me what it is, I don't know. I don't even know mine but I'm guessing it has something to do with divination."

"So it's something like a family secret?"

"Yep that's it! The proper name is… potere segreto it's Italian. You probably won't be able to work it out for a while. I suppose it'll be even harder with out any family to guess from. All my family on my mum's side are diviners."

"I guess."

"Any way to change into an object you have to have a picture of it really clearly in your head and you'll have this tingly feeling and you change. Eventually you'll just be able to change with just concentrating on the name or thinking I want to change into ___ you get what I mean."

"Could you show me?"

"Oh sure." Nicola changed into a phoenix and back again. "You'll change into a phoenix first of all, for the first week or two that'll be the only thing you can change into but it gets easy from then.

"You can even change into people. When I'm sneaking around the school I pretend to be a ghost or a teacher. The only problem is when you change into something with eyes your eye colour doesn't change, I usually just use an eye changing charm. You can also use magic while in a form, it's quite useful great fot pulling pranks, how d'you think your dad got on well with them, though he didn't find out till his final year at Hogwarts they decided to tell you earlier the meeting they had discussing it took ages. They told you because of filch. He might have been a squib but he still attended. His gift was seeing through walls and stuff, for instance Mrs Norris he used one eye to see where he was going and the other for what Mrs Norris could see. We better for back to out lessons, Herbology. Just one thing don't tell any one anything until you talk to Dumbledore he'll tell you what you can and can't say."

"Ok."

They got up and ran to the green houses, unaware of an eye watching them.
