~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The third morning dawned. The warm rays of sunlight touched Hikaru's
skin, especially upon her eyes. Then slowly she opened her eyes, her sight
still blurred. It took some time when she regained her normal focus as she
looked left, then to the right. Not much. She raised her upper torso
slightly, moving her head to the left and right. Her unbraided red hair
swayed beautifully with the gales coming from the nearby window. She saw Umi
beside her, the first of the three to wake. "How are you doing Hikaru?"
"I'm still dizzy. Were we able to defeat Devonaire.?" Hikaru rubbed
her eyes to get a better view.
"We will never know Hikaru. We have defeated her before, but she
still returned." Umi used both of her hands to remove her hair that had been
blocking her face.
Then both looked at Fuu, still sleeping serenely. Then she coughed.
And coughed. Minutes passed her eyes opened once again to the world, still
tired but looked at the sun's direction and gave a smile. She raised her hand
to feel more of the sun's kind warmth, giving her strength to raise her body.
The other two also returned smiles. At least they were still together,
living, breathing and moving. They have done so many miracles together, and
this was one of them. Fuu slowly stretched her arm out to look for her
glasses. When she finally did, she wiped it clean and wore it. "Ohayoo
gozaimasu!" she cheerfully said.
Yup, she was the Fuu before and she was Fuu today. Umi and Fuu stood
up and embraced each other like they never had before. "As long as we are
together, no evil shall ever invade our planet." Hikaru hugged them more
tightly.
"As long as we are friends, I will never lose my strength." Fuu
mumured.
"As long as that we are alive, we will always be friends forever."
Umi wiped her tears.
Dumbledore entered to see the scene he was not supposed to see."Oh
dear." he whispered. But they heard him and finished the scenario earlier
than they expected. "I'm sorry. Did I interrupt you?"
"No, not really sir." Hikaru wiped her eyes with the back of her
hand.
"Yes Headmaster, what do you intend to discuss right now?" Fuu wiped
her glasses once more.
"Um, yes,very well. I came to see how are you three doing. You showed
a lot of bravery out there in the battle. I never knew you were this strong."
The headmaster's eyes twinkled once more. "I am grateful for what all of you
have done." and then, as a sign of respect, he bowed down to them the
japanese way.
"It was nothing Mister Dumbledore. This was our duty." Umi said.
"And it was you who made us enjoy our stay here in Hogwarts. Thank you!"
she returned his gratitude.
"It was also nothing. I want to inform you three had been asleep for
three days, which means tomorrow is the the End of the Year Feast. I am
hoping you will be attending." Dumbledore looked at them for an answer.
"Of course Headmaster, we will." Fuu smiled.
"I wish also the same for Harry." the headmaster looked grimly.
"What happened to Harry sir?" Hikaru wanted to know most of all about
Harry's encounter.
Dumbledore gave a sigh, then a pause. "He defeated both Quirrell and
Voldemort, in exchange for a terrible decision. No evil can come to Harry
because he was a very good lad and because of his mother's love surrounding
him. Quirrell and Voldemort only learned that on their confrontation, so did
Harry. Since Quirrell cannot touch Harry, he himself held on to Quirrell to
keep him and Voldemort from even touching the stone. But preventing something
so evil gave Harry so much pain, using all his strength just for that. I
almost thought that it was his end when I separated them just in time. For
the time being he is still unconscious up to now." the headmaster looked away
to avoid looking at the sudden change of reactions from the three.He didn't
want to see much sorrow.
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu bowed their heads angry. Angry at their
irresponsibility.Fuu covered her face, while Umi held her chest, Hikaru just
stayed like that. The red-haired girl then raised her head. "Where is Harry
sir? I want to look at him."
"He is over there." the Headmster pointed to the other end of the
row. The three rushed to him, with Dumbledore following behind.
The table beside Harry was full of gifts and presents, the three
never had any when they woke up. But that was not the important part. All had
a chance to look at the sleeping person. Umi was also thinking, "Sir, do you
think his injury is only physical?"
"I do not think it is so. He is injured both emotionally and partly
physical. If ever you heal only the physical, his emotional will remain
scarred." Dumbledore still looked for possible answers,"Perhaps, it may be
possible for somebody of good spirit to heal him."
"If it can help Harry in any way. I'll do it." Umi placed her hand on
his forehead. Hikaru and Fuu followed insistedly.
The headmaster only watched nearby. With their hands on top of each
other, a soft white glow appeared. Harry's scar reacted to it in the same way
in return. Hikaru, Umi and Fuu still in exhaustion, fainted. Dumbledore
caught them by a wave and immediately placed them in the three beds beside
Harry. He then waited for their reawakening.
Lo! Another miracle happened. The three Knights were able to revive
Harry. It was when Harry's head stirred to the left,proving that he was
conscious once more. Dumbledore neared Harry in exitement, fifteen minutes
later, Harry opened his eyes.
"Good Afternoon, Harry. How are you feeling?"
Harry's chat with Albus Dumbledore then started.
=Later that Evening=
The Knights awoke that evening, this time more rested than before.
Madame Pomfrey was giving Harry his dinner at the time they woke up."Well, I
guess I have to get three more meals for you." she said cheerfully then gave
a stern look "Don't even try standing up and leaving immediately."
Then there was total silence. Harry just looked at them as they lay
down. "Dumbledore explained to me what happened earlier. Thank you once
again."
The three just smiled, they were very glad that they were able to
help another person in distress. "We're all happy." Hikaru made neko ears and
pink oval shaped cheeks. All was bright fine and O.K., not even darkness
could take away a simple and solemn moment.
"Since you defeated 'the' enemy, whatever that was. Could you explain
now about yourselves?" Harry asked honestly.
"Wait a sec- we'll think about it Harry." Umi said as the three
japanese girls huddled together. "Do you think we should start telling him?"
"I'm not that sure, but I think the whole of Hogwarts had seen us.
Don't you think that we should explain this to all who witnessed? Why, we
almost broke the castle into pieces! Everyone must have been surprised then."
Fuu glanced back at Harry to see if he was not eavesdropping. He was still
there, waiting.
"If we tell him now, he'll tell it to Ron and Hermione alone for
sure. At the End of Term Feast maybe. Everyone would surely be there." Hikaru
said. "Is that fine with you two?"
The Knight of Waters and Knight of Winds both nodded accordingly.
"O.K. then." Hikaru then looked at Harry.
"Are you going to?" Harry was now getting exited.
"We'll be revealing it to everyone at tomorrow's feast." Hikaru
announced it clearly to the lad with untidy black hair.
The exitement was wiped from his face. "Hmph." he crossed both of his
arms, almost tipping his dinner off his lap.
"Relax Harry, its only one more day." Fuu assured.
"Here's your dinner people." Madame Pomfrey held one of the three
trays while the other two levitated, following her closely. She handed the
first to Umi then to Hikaru then to Fuu.
"Arigatou gozaimasu!" the three said happily.
"Now you four start eating. I'll be watching you eat every spoonful,
it will bring your strength back two times faster for your fast recovery."
She took a chair in front of all four of them.
"We will Madame Pomfrey, we will." Umi said as she smelled the
delectable wafts from their hot meal.
=Next Day=
Hagrid visited the four to see how are they were doing inside the
Hospital Wing. Though it seemed that he had a hard time entering the room,
he sat beside Harry. With only one look at Harry, he began crying."It's all
me fault. I told him how ter get past Fluffy! And I did'nt even knew who
really was behind that ruddy cloak of his! The one thing he did not knew!
Yeh could've been killed! Just because of a silly dragon egg! I will never
get meself drunk again foolishly! I should've been turned into Muggle fer all
the trouble!"
"Hagrid!" Harry said surprisingly while Hagrid cried a bucketful of
tears."Hagrid! Remember, we are talking about Voldemort, he could have known
it all along even if you haven't told him!"
"Yeh still could have died!" tears fell drop after drop and took
another glance at Harry "An' don't ever say his name!" Hikaru Umi and Fuu
only watched silently.
"VOLDEMORT!" Harry repeated, shocking Hagrid abruptly, making him
stop the tears from falling." I have already met him, and I will remain
calling him his proper name. Now cheer up Hagrid, he is gone now for the
meantime. The Stone's destroyed now, he can no longer get hold of it. Have
some of my chocolates,.. they're plenty."
Hagrid had now wiped away his tears. "Oh and I remembered something."
he rummaged something under his pocket."I've got a thingy for yeh."
"Is is your stoat sandwich Hagrid?" Harry waited with excitement but
Hagrid gave a faint chuckle.
"Nah, Dumbledore gave me the day off yerterday to make it. Of course
he should have had me out of the school fer dis..its this.."
Harry opened the leather-covered book Hagrid handed to him. He opened
it and to his surprise, the pictures in the picture album were moving!
"I've sent owls ter different friends of yer parents to get em'..
d'yeh like it?"
Harry only answered back with an open mouth and a warm look, Hagrid
clearly understood what that guesture meant.
"We are all happy for you Harry." Hikaru said.
"Now you could see your parents everytime." Umi edged to take a look.
"They're always near you because of those lovely memories." Fuu joined
the look-see.
=Great Hall=
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu went back to their dorm room first before they
went directly to the great Hall. That left Harry to go there by himself from
the Hospital wing. In reaching there, most of the populace now filled the
whole room. The hall was decorated in colors of silver and green, Slytherin
colors. When Harry slowly entered, the noise was lowered to a hush. He took a
seet in between Ron and Hermione. The three japanese students soon joined the
Gryffindor table, beside the other three. Then came the Headmaster, Professor
Albus Dumbledore. He took his place in the middle of the High Table in front
of all the students and said " Another year has gone by! I'll leave my
statements first before we start to indulge our delicious feast. What a year!
What a year!" he repeated it twice. "Hopefully, you have learned at least
some things to the fullest before you start emptying them once more this
summer. Now then, we all understand that this year's House Cup needs some
rewarding. The current positions are: Gryffindor, fourth place. Hufflepuff,
third place. Ravenclaw, second place and Slytherin first place."
Rowdy noises were produced by the Slytherin students, most especially
for Malfoy.
"Very good Slytherin, Very good. However," the Slytherins stopped
their noise."recent events must also be taken into account."
Everyone now went quiet and grew tense.
"I have these last few minute points to give out. First to Ronald
Weasley for the best played game of chess these past few years in the history
of Hogwarts. I award the Gryffindor House fifty points."
The Gryffindors started clapping.
"Second, for Hermione Granger, who used her logic calmly in the face
of the fire. I award the Gryffindor House fifty points."
Ravenclaw started clapping together with the Gryffindors.
"Third, to Harry Potter-" everyone became very still." For his pure
nerve and outstanding courage. I award the Gryffindor house fifty points."
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu clapped happily for Harry's victory.
"Fourth. There are so many kinds of courage, it will take a great
deal of it in front of enemies just as in front of friends." Everyone was now
thinking who was to be awarded. "To Neville Longbottom, I award ten points
for Gryffindor."
"I know you could do it Neveille!" Umi cheered for him. Nobody
expected any more. All went noisy once more.
"Fifth." Everybody looked at the Headmaster once more. "For their
sheer strength, care, bravery and teamwork, I award our three japanese
students sixty points each."
The three Knights could not say anything. They were the ones who were
now wide-eyed with disbelief. But they eventually snapped back to their
senses as they were congratulated by the Gryffindors. Everyone applauded and
slapped at their backs happily.
"Which means-" Dumbledore continued. "That we need a change of
decor!" He clapped his hands twice as every green banner turned into red.
"Now on with the celebration!" The food appeared as usual in their golden
platters. When they were halfway through, the three confronted the Headmaster
in front of the High Table and bowed courteously. "Yes, what is it?" he
looked at them with his everlasting, twinkling eyes.
"We have decided to reveal our true identity to the whole of Hogwarts
students and faculty." Hikaru started, as she was entitled to do so.
"Ah, at last. I have been waiting for this moment!" he exclaimed
happily. He stood up and got everyone's attention with a bang with his wand.
" Attention everyone! The three japanese students wish to say something.
Please come right up to the High Table."
It was a very prestigeous privelege to let any student stand up in
the High Table. Even Dumbledore gave way to them as they took step by step
slowly together with Mokona. "Hello fellow schoolmates, may I introduce you
myself again. I am Hikaru Shidou."
"And I am Umi Ryuuzaki."
"And Fuu Hououji."
"We are standing right here before you now for us to answer the
different mysteries that we have been doing in this school that you find very
odd-even for wizards and witches." Hikaru placed Mokona on top of the table.
"The reason whay we are here." Umi added.
"And the reason why we are totally different from each of you." Fuu
also added.
All the people became more quieter than the mouse.
"I, Hikaru Shidou am the current Pillar of Cephiro. And this is how
it all began. From just one transport from Earth to Cephiro, it totally
changed our lives."
"Cephiro has a system called the Pillar System where this whole world
is only supported by the Pillar. If the Pillar wills the safety of the people
of Cephiro, peace and prosperity comes to the land." Fuu explained slowly.
Mokona flashed different images of what seemed like a land of
paradise
"If the Pillar wishes for the total destruction of Cephiro, he may do
so in just a whim of his strong thought. The only thing that is not allowed
for a pillar to do is never to love. Princess Emeraude, the last pillar broke
that rule." Umi continued.
"Therefore, the only payment to make herself happy together with her
loved one, Sol Zagato, she summoned the Legendary Magic Knights of Cephiro.
We were these Knights, we did not know who or why. Zagato, who perfectly knew
what were the roles of the knights earlier, planned to kill the Magic Knights
once and for all. Clef, our guide all through the journey only told us to
save the Princess from Zagato whom he kidnapped." Hikaru had now gripped her
hand reminiscing the experiences the three had together.
"We learned our magic through our journey, acquired weapons, and we
had arisen the great Spirits the has been guarding Cephiro who never followed
the Pillar's orders." Umi looked at what Mokona recently flashed. Small
animated clips of them appeared when they first awakened the three spirits.
She then gave a sigh and continued on. " We then were able to defeat Zagato.
None of us really knew that he was only protecting his loved one, the
Princess."
" In assuming that when we defeat Sol Zagato, we can now return home,
but that was not the true case as we entered Zagato's castle to save the
Princess. The Princess appeared before us enraged and full of anger for
killing Zagato, she called upon her own spirit and took Zagato's fallen sword
and started fighting us." Fuu added and paused.
"In our surprise, none of us dared to attack, only dodge her
lightning quick attacks. Finally her Spirit momentarily stopped the Princess
called out to us " Magic Knights, please grant my first and final wish. To
be together with Zagato before I wish for the destruction of Cephiro." her
voice kep repeating. As guardians of Cephiro, we could not let the land to
be destroyed. All three of us combined and plunged our swords at the Princess
with sorrow. She then bursted into gleams of light and said "Thank you,
Magic Knights, thank you." and disappeared in front of us." Hikaru could no
longer talk without crying. Tears fell from her eyes and into her uniform.
Umi and Fuu were doing the same. Umi handed Hikaru a handkerchief.
"That was only when we were able to return home, only with a heavy
heart." Umi finished the first chapter.
Then a voice from the audience asked."How did Hikaru became the
Pillar?"
"That will be another story for us to tell next time. We end it
here." Fuu sniffed."We came here to defeat our enemy, if any of you may ask
why, as guardians of both Earth and Cephiro."
From their audience came sniffs too. A few people were moved by their
story, others were not. Dumbledore who was beside them held Hikaru's shoulder
warmly. "It's alright. Wipe your tears away now."
"Yes Professor." The three chorused together. They stepped down with
Mokona on Hikaru's arms.
The celebration continued on until everyone had went to sleep that
night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wow! That's some kind of explanation there. I think I was cut short here,
again. I've got good news to the other readers and reviewers alike out there!
I was able to buy Harry Potter 4! But Harry Potter 2 all sold out on the
bookstores.It's very expensive if you are going to buy the hardbound one,
bulky too. So I'm thinking of something else to replace HP2 for the meantime.
I mean, I'm still the same writer, whatever spice I put up on other stories
I will soon write, ne?

The third morning dawned. The warm rays of sunlight touched Hikaru's
skin, especially upon her eyes. Then slowly she opened her eyes, her sight
still blurred. It took some time when she regained her normal focus as she
looked left, then to the right. Not much. She raised her upper torso
slightly, moving her head to the left and right. Her unbraided red hair
swayed beautifully with the gales coming from the nearby window. She saw Umi
beside her, the first of the three to wake. "How are you doing Hikaru?"
"I'm still dizzy. Were we able to defeat Devonaire.?" Hikaru rubbed
her eyes to get a better view.
"We will never know Hikaru. We have defeated her before, but she
still returned." Umi used both of her hands to remove her hair that had been
blocking her face.
Then both looked at Fuu, still sleeping serenely. Then she coughed.
And coughed. Minutes passed her eyes opened once again to the world, still
tired but looked at the sun's direction and gave a smile. She raised her hand
to feel more of the sun's kind warmth, giving her strength to raise her body.
The other two also returned smiles. At least they were still together,
living, breathing and moving. They have done so many miracles together, and
this was one of them. Fuu slowly stretched her arm out to look for her
glasses. When she finally did, she wiped it clean and wore it. "Ohayoo
gozaimasu!" she cheerfully said.
Yup, she was the Fuu before and she was Fuu today. Umi and Fuu stood
up and embraced each other like they never had before. "As long as we are
together, no evil shall ever invade our planet." Hikaru hugged them more
tightly.
"As long as we are friends, I will never lose my strength." Fuu
mumured.
"As long as that we are alive, we will always be friends forever."
Umi wiped her tears.
Dumbledore entered to see the scene he was not supposed to see."Oh
dear." he whispered. But they heard him and finished the scenario earlier
than they expected. "I'm sorry. Did I interrupt you?"
"No, not really sir." Hikaru wiped her eyes with the back of her
hand.
"Yes Headmaster, what do you intend to discuss right now?" Fuu wiped
her glasses once more.
"Um, yes,very well. I came to see how are you three doing. You showed
a lot of bravery out there in the battle. I never knew you were this strong."
The headmaster's eyes twinkled once more. "I am grateful for what all of you
have done." and then, as a sign of respect, he bowed down to them the
japanese way.
"It was nothing Mister Dumbledore. This was our duty." Umi said.
"And it was you who made us enjoy our stay here in Hogwarts. Thank you!"
she returned his gratitude.
"It was also nothing. I want to inform you three had been asleep for
three days, which means tomorrow is the the End of the Year Feast. I am
hoping you will be attending." Dumbledore looked at them for an answer.
"Of course Headmaster, we will." Fuu smiled.
"I wish also the same for Harry." the headmaster looked grimly.
"What happened to Harry sir?" Hikaru wanted to know most of all about
Harry's encounter.
Dumbledore gave a sigh, then a pause. "He defeated both Quirrell and
Voldemort, in exchange for a terrible decision. No evil can come to Harry
because he was a very good lad and because of his mother's love surrounding
him. Quirrell and Voldemort only learned that on their confrontation, so did
Harry. Since Quirrell cannot touch Harry, he himself held on to Quirrell to
keep him and Voldemort from even touching the stone. But preventing something
so evil gave Harry so much pain, using all his strength just for that. I
almost thought that it was his end when I separated them just in time. For
the time being he is still unconscious up to now." the headmaster looked away
to avoid looking at the sudden change of reactions from the three.He didn't
want to see much sorrow.
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu bowed their heads angry. Angry at their
irresponsibility.Fuu covered her face, while Umi held her chest, Hikaru just
stayed like that. The red-haired girl then raised her head. "Where is Harry
sir? I want to look at him."
"He is over there." the Headmster pointed to the other end of the
row. The three rushed to him, with Dumbledore following behind.
The table beside Harry was full of gifts and presents, the three
never had any when they woke up. But that was not the important part. All had
a chance to look at the sleeping person. Umi was also thinking, "Sir, do you
think his injury is only physical?"
"I do not think it is so. He is injured both emotionally and partly
physical. If ever you heal only the physical, his emotional will remain
scarred." Dumbledore still looked for possible answers,"Perhaps, it may be
possible for somebody of good spirit to heal him."
"If it can help Harry in any way. I'll do it." Umi placed her hand on
his forehead. Hikaru and Fuu followed insistedly.
The headmaster only watched nearby. With their hands on top of each
other, a soft white glow appeared. Harry's scar reacted to it in the same way
in return. Hikaru, Umi and Fuu still in exhaustion, fainted. Dumbledore
caught them by a wave and immediately placed them in the three beds beside
Harry. He then waited for their reawakening.
Lo! Another miracle happened. The three Knights were able to revive
Harry. It was when Harry's head stirred to the left,proving that he was
conscious once more. Dumbledore neared Harry in exitement, fifteen minutes
later, Harry opened his eyes.
"Good Afternoon, Harry. How are you feeling?"
Harry's chat with Albus Dumbledore then started.
=Later that Evening=
The Knights awoke that evening, this time more rested than before.
Madame Pomfrey was giving Harry his dinner at the time they woke up."Well, I
guess I have to get three more meals for you." she said cheerfully then gave
a stern look "Don't even try standing up and leaving immediately."
Then there was total silence. Harry just looked at them as they lay
down. "Dumbledore explained to me what happened earlier. Thank you once
again."
The three just smiled, they were very glad that they were able to
help another person in distress. "We're all happy." Hikaru made neko ears and
pink oval shaped cheeks. All was bright fine and O.K., not even darkness
could take away a simple and solemn moment.
"Since you defeated 'the' enemy, whatever that was. Could you explain
now about yourselves?" Harry asked honestly.
"Wait a sec- we'll think about it Harry." Umi said as the three
japanese girls huddled together. "Do you think we should start telling him?"
"I'm not that sure, but I think the whole of Hogwarts had seen us.
Don't you think that we should explain this to all who witnessed? Why, we
almost broke the castle into pieces! Everyone must have been surprised then."
Fuu glanced back at Harry to see if he was not eavesdropping. He was still
there, waiting.
"If we tell him now, he'll tell it to Ron and Hermione alone for
sure. At the End of Term Feast maybe. Everyone would surely be there." Hikaru
said. "Is that fine with you two?"
The Knight of Waters and Knight of Winds both nodded accordingly.
"O.K. then." Hikaru then looked at Harry.
"Are you going to?" Harry was now getting exited.
"We'll be revealing it to everyone at tomorrow's feast." Hikaru
announced it clearly to the lad with untidy black hair.
The exitement was wiped from his face. "Hmph." he crossed both of his
arms, almost tipping his dinner off his lap.
"Relax Harry, its only one more day." Fuu assured.
"Here's your dinner people." Madame Pomfrey held one of the three
trays while the other two levitated, following her closely. She handed the
first to Umi then to Hikaru then to Fuu.
"Arigatou gozaimasu!" the three said happily.
"Now you four start eating. I'll be watching you eat every spoonful,
it will bring your strength back two times faster for your fast recovery."
She took a chair in front of all four of them.
"We will Madame Pomfrey, we will." Umi said as she smelled the
delectable wafts from their hot meal.
=Next Day=
Hagrid visited the four to see how are they were doing inside the
Hospital Wing. Though it seemed that he had a hard time entering the room,
he sat beside Harry. With only one look at Harry, he began crying."It's all
me fault. I told him how ter get past Fluffy! And I did'nt even knew who
really was behind that ruddy cloak of his! The one thing he did not knew!
Yeh could've been killed! Just because of a silly dragon egg! I will never
get meself drunk again foolishly! I should've been turned into Muggle fer all

"Hagrid!" Harry said surprisingly while Hagrid cried a bucketful of
tears."Hagrid! Remember, we are talking about Voldemort, he could have known
it all along even if you haven't told him!"
"Yeh still could have died!" tears fell drop after drop and took
another glance at Harry "An' don't ever say his name!" Hikaru Umi and Fuu
only watched silently.
"VOLDEMORT!" Harry repeated, shocking Hagrid abruptly, making him
stop the tears from falling." I have already met him, and I will remain
calling him his proper name. Now cheer up Hagrid, he is gone now for the
meantime. The Stone's destroyed now, he can no longer get hold of it. Have
some of my chocolates,.. they're plenty."
Hagrid had now wiped away his tears. "Oh and I remembered something."
he rummaged something under his pocket."I've got a thingy for yeh."
"Is is your stoat sandwich Hagrid?" Harry waited with excitement but
Hagrid gave a faint chuckle.
"Nah, Dumbledore gave me the day off yerterday to make it. Of course
he should have had me out of the school fer dis..its this.."
Harry opened the leather-covered book Hagrid handed to him. He opened
it and to his surprise, the pictures in the picture album were moving!
"I've sent owls ter different friends of yer parents to get em'..
d'yeh like it?"
Harry only answered back with an open mouth and a warm look, Hagrid
clearly understood what that guesture meant.
"We are all happy for you Harry." Hikaru said.
"Now you could see your parents everytime." Umi edged to take a look.
"They're always near you because of those lovely memories." Fuu joined
the look-see.
=Great Hall=
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu went back to their dorm room first before they
went directly to the great Hall. That left Harry to go there by himself from
the Hospital wing. In reaching there, most of the populace now filled the
whole room. The hall was decorated in colors of silver and green, Slytherin
colors. When Harry slowly entered, the noise was lowered to a hush. He took a
seet in between Ron and Hermione. The three japanese students soon joined the
Gryffindor table, beside the other three. Then came the Headmaster, Professor
Albus Dumbledore. He took his place in the middle of the High Table in front
of all the students and said " Another year has gone by! I'll leave my
statements first before we start to indulge our delicious feast. What a year!
What a year!" he repeated it twice. "Hopefully, you have learned at least
some things to the fullest before you start emptying them once more this
summer. Now then, we all understand that this year's House Cup needs some
rewarding. The current positions are: Gryffindor, fourth place. Hufflepuff,
third place. Ravenclaw, second place and Slytherin first place."
Rowdy noises were produced by the Slytherin students, most especially
for Malfoy.
"Very good Slytherin, Very good. However," the Slytherins stopped
their noise."recent events must also be taken into account."
Everyone now went quiet and grew tense.
"I have these last few minute points to give out. First to Ronald
Weasley for the best played game of chess these past few years in the history
of Hogwarts. I award the Gryffindor House fifty points."
The Gryffindors started clapping.
"Second, for Hermione Granger, who used her logic calmly in the face
of the fire. I award the Gryffindor House fifty points."
Ravenclaw started clapping together with the Gryffindors.
"Third, to Harry Potter-" everyone became very still." For his pure
nerve and outstanding courage. I award the Gryffindor house fifty points."
Hikaru, Umi and Fuu clapped happily for Harry's victory.
"Fourth. There are so many kinds of courage, it will take a great
deal of it in front of enemies just as in front of friends." Everyone was now
thinking who was to be awarded. "To Neville Longbottom, I award ten points
for Gryffindor."
"I know you could do it Neveille!" Umi cheered for him. Nobody
expected any more. All went noisy once more.
"Fifth." Everybody looked at the Headmaster once more. "For their
sheer strength, care, bravery and teamwork, I award our three japanese
students sixty points each."
The three Knights could not say anything. They were the ones who were
now wide-eyed with disbelief. But they eventually snapped back to their
senses as they were congratulated by the Gryffindors. Everyone applauded and
slapped at their backs happily.
"Which means-" Dumbledore continued. "That we need a change of
decor!" He clapped his hands twice as every green banner turned into red.
"Now on with the celebration!" The food appeared as usual in their golden
platters. When they were halfway through, the three confronted the Headmaster
in front of the High Table and bowed courteously. "Yes, what is it?" he
looked at them with his everlasting, twinkling eyes.
"We have decided to reveal our true identity to the whole of Hogwarts
students and faculty." Hikaru started, as she was entitled to do so.
"Ah, at last. I have been waiting for this moment!" he exclaimed
happily. He stood up and got everyone's attention with a bang with his wand.
" Attention everyone! The three japanese students wish to say something.
Please come right up to the High Table."
It was a very prestigeous privelege to let any student stand up in
the High Table. Even Dumbledore gave way to them as they took step by step
slowly together with Mokona. "Hello fellow schoolmates, may I introduce you
myself again. I am Hikaru Shidou."
"And I am Umi Ryuuzaki."
"And Fuu Hououji."
"We are standing right here before you now for us to answer the
different mysteries that we have been doing in this school that you find very
odd-even for wizards and witches." Hikaru placed Mokona on top of the table.
"The reason whay we are here." Umi added.
"And the reason why we are totally different from each of you." Fuu
also added.
All the people became more quieter than the mouse.
"I, Hikaru Shidou am the current Pillar of Cephiro. And this is how
it all began. From just one transport from Earth to Cephiro, it totally
changed our lives."
"Cephiro has a system called the Pillar System where this whole world
is only supported by the Pillar. If the Pillar wills the safety of the people
of Cephiro, peace and prosperity comes to the land." Fuu explained slowly.
Mokona flashed different images of what seemed like a land of
paradise
"If the Pillar wishes for the total destruction of Cephiro, he may do
so in just a whim of his strong thought. The only thing that is not allowed
for a pillar to do is never to love. Princess Emeraude, the last pillar broke
that rule." Umi continued.
"Therefore, the only payment to make herself happy together with her
loved one, Sol Zagato, she summoned the Legendary Magic Knights of Cephiro.
We were these Knights, we did not know who or why. Zagato, who perfectly knew
what were the roles of the knights earlier, planned to kill the Magic Knights
once and for all. Clef, our guide all through the journey only told us to
save the Princess from Zagato whom he kidnapped." Hikaru had now gripped her
hand reminiscing the experiences the three had together.
"We learned our magic through our journey, acquired weapons, and we
had arisen the great Spirits the has been guarding Cephiro who never followed
the Pillar's orders." Umi looked at what Mokona recently flashed. Small
animated clips of them appeared when they first awakened the three spirits.
She then gave a sigh and continued on. " We then were able to defeat Zagato.
None of us really knew that he was only protecting his loved one, the
Princess."
" In assuming that when we defeat Sol Zagato, we can now return home,
but that was not the true case as we entered Zagato's castle to save the
Princess. The Princess appeared before us enraged and full of anger for
killing Zagato, she called upon her own spirit and took Zagato's fallen sword
and started fighting us." Fuu added and paused.
"In our surprise, none of us dared to attack, only dodge her
lightning quick attacks. Finally her Spirit momentarily stopped the Princess
called out to us " Magic Knights, please grant my first and final wish. To
be together with Zagato before I wish for the destruction of Cephiro." her
voice kep repeating. As guardians of Cephiro, we could not let the land to
be destroyed. All three of us combined and plunged our swords at the Princess
with sorrow. She then bursted into gleams of light and said "Thank you,
Magic Knights, thank you." and disappeared in front of us." Hikaru could no
longer talk without crying. Tears fell from her eyes and into her uniform.
Umi and Fuu were doing the same. Umi handed Hikaru a handkerchief.
"That was only when we were able to return home, only with a heavy
heart." Umi finished the first chapter.
Then a voice from the audience asked."How did Hikaru became the
Pillar?"
"That will be another story for us to tell next time. We end it
here." Fuu sniffed."We came here to defeat our enemy, if any of you may ask
why, as guardians of both Earth and Cephiro."
From their audience came sniffs too. A few people were moved by their
story, others were not. Dumbledore who was beside them held Hikaru's shoulder
warmly. "It's alright. Wipe your tears away now."
"Yes Professor." The three chorused together. They stepped down with
Mokona on Hikaru's arms.
The celebration continued on until everyone had went to sleep that
night.

Wow! That's some kind of explanation there. I think I was cut short here,
again. I've got good news to the other readers and reviewers alike out there!
I was able to buy Harry Potter 4! But Harry Potter 2 all sold out on the
bookstores.It's very expensive if you are going to buy the hardbound one,
bulky too. So I'm thinking of something else to replace HP2 for the meantime.
I mean, I'm still the same writer, whatever spice I put up on other stories
I will soon write, ne?
