Jake rubbed his eyes wearily as he rested his head
against the wonderfully soft arm chair facing a warm,
crackling fire. It was weird those days as the two teenagers just met
that weird angel called Shadow whom constantly tried to get into
Selena's pants, mysterious things always happening inside the
Diary and so much confusion about everything.
Everything has been messed up a bit badly since that fatefully day with the reporters still searching for them but never being able to
enter the Gryffindor Common room luckily. He and Selena
were both sitting alone in the cheery Gryffindor Tower
with their owls for company. Their two phoenixes were
there as well, sitting in the fire. Selena was on the
floor, unconsciously petting Meimi as she drifted in
her own thoughts. Jake was watching Shawn try to coax
the two baby phoenixes out of the raging flames
without getting any of his feathers burnt. Jake sighed
deeply. He rubbed his necklace carelessly as he pondered his current situation a bit. Watching Shawn squack as the fire nearly spat
at him, Jake chuckled just slightly. Selena glanced at
her owl as Meimi sent Shawn a strange look.
It seemed like she was saying, "Shawn, quit pestering
these two pheonixes unless you'd rather be burnt to a
crisp."
"So this prophecy has been around for thousands of
years right?" Selena nodded, her eyes still glazed
over and ignoring the red diary which was sitting on
her lap. "And the prince of angels is supposed to try
to get more than just your phone number, right?"
"That's about the jest of it." Jake sat quietly for a
few more moments before he leaned forward.
"Would you read the prophecy part again?" Selena
opened the diary to a marked page and cleared her
voice.
"Of all things taught and all known well, three of
powers shall come to dwell.
When light to darkness brings darkness to light, so
shall the two of another world fight.
Blades of old and sight of new, thus the stars shall
give their cue.
Fire and ice form everlasting, a prince of hope shall
rise from fasting.
Harry Potter, the Savior of Time, his title brings
both reason and rhyme.
After him shall fall those of light, one from
the fire and one from flight.
The one most vulnerable must make the largest
sacrifice, whether to choose naughty or nice.
Jake is his name, the one known as Spade, his
following kin is known as the Jade.
And there ends our ranting, so mote it be. We have
chosen the Saviors, only those three."
Jake and Selena fell silent again, thinking of the
words carefully. Shawn and Meimi had grown
suspiciously quiet but the two teenagers didn't
notice.
"What's tonight? What's going to happen? I mean, if
Shadow doesn't show up again like last time." Selena winced slightly.
"It's the night of the TriWizard tournament. The
champions are going to be chosen and we'll be in the
judging booth when each event takes place so we can't
exactly help Harry out much."
"God, why us?" Jake grumbled as he threw his head back
and closed his eyes. "Why the hell does this prophecy
talk about us? It doesn't say anything about this in
the Harry Potter books."
"I know." Leaning forward, Selena picked up Meimi, who
meowed and (after a soft pop) turned into her cat
form. "We should be heading down to dinner soon.
Dumbledore won't start without us and we don't exactly
want to get things jumbled up by not going. Hopefully
nothing else will change."
"Not likely, but hopefully." Jake muttered as he rose
to his feet. The two phoenixes crawled out of the fire
and waited for their new parents to place them
securely in a robe pocket. Selena began to walk with
her cat in her arms towards the portrait of the Fat Lady. Jake was about to pick Shawn up from the ground but the black cat moved and shook his head no, "What you want to
follow instead?" It nodded yes, "Very well." Jake
petted him. Shawn followed his master all the way down
to the Great Hall. It seemed that Shawn was an
excellent rat catcher and had proved to be incredibly
intelligent for a cat. He brought Jake rats every day and every
day Jake became happier. Eventually Shawn would catch
all of the rats in the world, including Peter Pettigrew.
"So what are we going to do about Snape? He changed
the class today so that we would miss something
important, Seamus told me." Jake added and grinned
broadly when Shawn came trotting up to him with a rat
in his mouth. "Nope, not him. Try again." Shawn gave a
cat sigh and went off to find more rats. Jake took
the dead rat and kept it in a box, "For your dinner
Shawn. And yours too Meimi." Meimi purred delightedly. Shawn purred
back at his master too and went off to find more rats.
"We could always ask Hermione to 'help' us with the
homework and the potion. You know she can't say no to
anyone when they ask for help."
"Yeah." Said Jake as he made sure that his phoenix was
still comfortable and safe.
"So we're bonded to be at least close enough to touch
each other? That's kinda weird." Selena said as she
watched Shawn appear with yet another rat, this one
smaller than before.
"Nope, not him." Jake said. Shawn went off to sulk and
catch more rats. "So if we went on a date, we would
end up being in a twenty feet radius. That really
bites." Just then, they arrived at the Great Hall. Ron
waved for them to come sit with them. Evidently they had
been waiting for the teenagers for a while since the rest of the
seats were nearly jammed full of students.
"Tonight's the night!" Dean Thomas said excitedly as
he glanced at the High Table hopefully. "I wonder
whose going to be our champion?" Jake muttered
something that sounded suspiciously like 'Harry' but
only Selena heard it so she began to giggle.
"Who do you think it'll be?" Harry asked Selena, who
blushed slightly.
"I think it'll be Cedric Diggory." She blurted out.
"Be quiet." Jake whispered as he stomped on her foot
under the table and she bit her tongue to keep from
shrieking. She silently elbowed him in the ribs and
smiled sweetly.
"And not me?" Fred demanded with a laugh.
"Sadly, you're just a few months too young for this
now. Odd eh?" Jake teased, "Anyhow, we still remember
that fascinating display of beards when you and George
tried to get your names into the Goblet." Jake ignoreed
the pain in his side as he drank his pumpkin juice and
sadly informed Shawn that no, that wasn't him either
and to please try again.
"What exactly is your cat looking for?" George asked
curiously.
"A certain rat." Jake said, grinning darkly. "You
could say I have a deep and passionate loathing for one
rat in particular." Hermione exchanged glances with
Ron and Harry.
"It was in the dungeons and it scared the crap out of
me so Jake promised to kill it for me." Selena said
quickly to cover up. Jake had a glazed look in his eyes and wasn't
really paying any attention to what anyone was saying.
"Good evening. May I sat with you?" All of them turned
and (the boys) starred as Fleur Declaur and the girl,
Melissa, sat down. Fleur smiled a most charming smile
and actually leaned towards Jake, who grinned and
motioned towards the empty seat beside him (one of the
few at the table).
"Yes." Jake said to Fluer.
"Of course!" Selena added warmly. Ron, Seamus, and Dean were muttering
things below their breaths.
"And how are you Harry?" Melissa said, instantly
stepping on Selena's foot and elbowing her way to sit
in front of him. Harry grinned nervously and tried to
edge away a little but Melissa followed.
Jake looked at Melissa with intense hatred. He didn't really like it
when some girl just got obessive over some boy just
because of his reputation or just being famous. Jake sympathically understood that Harry would rather not date her. He needed someone
who cared about Harry Potter himself. Not the Famous
Harry Potter. Not the boy who defeated the Dark Lord.
The Harry Potter who was a very sweet gentleman who cared
and was supportive and understanding towards everyone. Jake would have preferred to have the same kind of girlfriend as Harry. Someone who cared only for who they are. Not what they are.
"Er, I'm fine." Harry said. Jake instantly noticed the
burning blush and hate-filled eyes that Selena had
fixed on an ignorant Melissa. He didn't blame her either.
"That's wonderful!" Melissa tossed her hair. It would
have been a commercial moment if her hair hadn't
smashed into Selena's face. "Who do you think will be
the Hogwarts champion? I heard that Cedric Diggory put
his name in. Do you think he'll win? Is there anyone
that you're rooting for? What do you think about
Quiditch being canceled? Isn't it unfair? Do you like
the mashed potatoes here? I love it. What's your
favorite color? Is your owl's name really Hedwig?
That's so cute! I've always wanted an owl like yours!
What's your family like?" Jake closed his eyes and
looked sickened and irritated that she had to bug poor Harry
with so many questions just like any fangirl in his old world would
have done. He growled silently only to be heard by Shawn.
Shawn looked up with a dead rat dangling from his
mouth and saw why his master was like that. He growled
too at Melissa. He knew that Melissa is an obessive
fangirl, and not a normal girl like Selena. Harry
glanced at Jake and Ron for help. Jake wanted to tell
Melessia to buzz off and say mean things but before he could even open his mouth, Harry got his help from an unsuspecting person.
"Get the fuck out of my seat!" Selena shoved Melissa
not only out of her seat but onto the floor! Several
Gryffindors turned to see what was going on. Jake
opened his eyes and Shawn dropped his rat in
surprised shock. Meimi mouth was actually hanging open. Jake grinned viciously at Selena's sudden burst of confidence.
"What is your problem?!" Melissa demanded venomously.
"My problem is I was sitting here and you have to
smash your damn hair into my face! You don't have to
shove me out of the way and you have absolutely no
right to stand on my foot! And after that, you have
absolutely no right to push people away just so you
can badger a sweet person like Harry Potter! He's not interested in a
stupid fangirl like you!" Melissa was about to react,
and violently, but Dumbledore stood and cleared his
throat. Melissa merely glared at Selena and moved off to sit
in an empty seat down the table. Jake grinned darkly
at Selena's uncharacteristic show of anger. Shawn and
Meimi did a high five with their tails under the table. No one saw
that. Selena was usually very calm and only snapped at
people when she was really pissed off. Harry smiled
thankfully at Selena and started to tell her his
thanks but she blushed and waved it off as Dumbledore
spoke. Shawn and Meimi meowed loudly until Selena and
Jake waved them away, trying to pay attention to
Dumbledore's words.
He began to discuss the contest and such before he sat
back down and the choosing of each champion took
place. Jake and Selena watched it with minimum
attention until after Cedric Diggory was chosen.
Without meaning to, Selena glanced at Harry to see
exactly how he would react. Poor Harry was certainly
shocked when his name floated out of the Goblet of
Fire and he followed the other champions into the
secret room behind the High Table along with Selena
and Jake. The portraits of the old Headmasters and
Headmistresses giggled and pointed to the four
champions and the two Americans.
As so, when the two judges from the other schools grew upset that Harry was chosen, they immediately started saying that they believed he entered it himself or at least bribed someone older than him to enter him. Besides the two Heads of the schools, Jake, Selena, McGonagall, and Dumbledore did not agree. As Snape began to tell Karkaroff about Harry's constant persistance for breaking rules, Jake casted him a poisonous sneer and Selena formed a mental image of pouring poison down his throat.
Jake and Selena just calmly stated that Harry hadn't
enter nor asked any other student to enter his name.
Dumbledore believed them, but never said so because the
judges would have though that he was taking sides with his own
students. Maxime was talking to Fluer in hurried French. Fleur payed undieing attention but sometimes her eyes staryed to Jake whom pretended not to notice her staring at him. Selena was stating that
Dark wizards would have been the only ones able to tamper with
the Goblet of Fire. Moody quickly agreed as well. Jake also
stated that Harry wouldn't have wanted to enter anyway
because he always atempted to follow the rules. He
glared at Snape because he knew that Snape would object
to it. But it was true that Harry did follow the other
rules. He only broke the rules when it was absoutely neccessary. Never
for some mischeif. Unless you counted Harry's second year
with the fireworks in the potions class that made the
swelling potion spill on the other students.
Jake and Selena were whispering among themselves half
the time that Dumbledore explained what was going to
happen and dismissed the students back to their rooms.
Fleur blew a kiss to Jake (who blushed) and left the
room. Harry glanced at Selena and Jake before leaving
to the Gryffindor Tower. The other Heads of the
schools left as well, leaving only the two teenagers and
Dumbledore.
"So you knew of this." Dumbledore said.
"You told us not to tell you so we didn't." Jake said.
Dumbledore nodded and moved to sit in one of the
armchairs, looking very old.
"What dragon will he get?" He asked.
"I thought you told us not to tell you anything?"
Selena asked, confused.
"This won't matter since I won't change whatever they
receive." Jake and Selena glanced at each other and
grinned darkly.
"A Hungarian Horntail." They said at the same time.
"Oh my." Dumbledore said. "The strongest of the
dragons is given to the one boy with enough danger
after him to fill ten lifetimes?" Selena nodded.
"Isn't life a bitch?" Jake asked with a grin. Selena
glared at her "cousin" for swearing in front of that Headmaster.
But Dumbledore only chuckled a bit. He didn't seem to mind
it at all.
"I suppose that one could say that, Mr. Jake."
Dumbledore said with a twinkling smile. "Please return
to your Common Room and don't get yourselves
kidnapped. I believe that you have had enough
excitement for one day." Jake snorted.
"One day? Try a week." He muttered. Then the three
chuckled a bit. Just as they were leaving, Selena
stopped and turned back to Dumbledore.
"Professor? Do you know anything about the prophecy of
the Elf Prince in the Tower of Roses?" Selena asked.
"I don't believe I have." Dumbledore said. Selena
glanced at Jake and shrugged.
"Alright. Good night Professor." As they were leaving,
two shadows met in the secrecy of the Forbidden
Forest. One was a tiny woman with long milky white hair down to
her waist and the other was a very tall man with black hair. Each one
wore a long black cloak and delicate black gloves with
fire embroidery.
"This had better be good, we can't meet here." The
woman whispered furiously and in a soft whisper.
"The prophecy is coming true. We'll need to speak with
the Master soon. And with Shadow appearing so easily,
we'll have to watch them even closer. Shadow might
capture them before we get a chance to." The woman
laughed.
"Both of them?! I think he's more interested in
capturing just one." The man shook his head darkly.
"And I suppose you mean the girl he likes so much? Without the
three, how are we going to fight them?" The woman
shrugged.
"We can't. Come on; let's go before someone sees us."
Man said. As the word hung in the air, the two demons
rushed towards the school stealthily.
against the wonderfully soft arm chair facing a warm,
crackling fire. It was weird those days as the two teenagers just met
