Chapter 2: The Great Awakening And Much Is Explained







Harry woke up to the stillness one would expect in a hospital wing, and took stock of his surroundings. He was in a stone room, with green potted ivy growing up the walls, a large bay window with a view of a forest, and was laying in a four poster bed with ivy growing up the posts. there was a painting of some sort over a merrily crackling fireplace.

"I daresay you find the accommodations most satisfactory," said Albus Dumbledore, from his chair next to Harry, effectively startling Harry from his pondering. "I shall wait until the others to arrive to explain, as it involves them as well."



"Sir," Harry said, his mind jammed from all of the questions, "why..."

Harry never got to finish his question as if on cue, seven homemade dungbombs exploded out from under Dumbledore's beard. Laughter was heard from the adjacent room, and two voices were heard arguing.

"I still say that if we had coated them in powdered horn of glacial unicorn, they would have been spectacular," said a soft male voice. It sounded as if it was the voice of a teenager, but Harry thought it could be his mind playing tricks on him.



"If we had put that on, it would have taken out his face also," said another female teenage voice.



"But," said the first voice, "it still would have been spectacular..." the voice trailed off "Well," it said finally, "we could have replaced his face, so there."

The voices trailed off, and Harry heard footsteps outside in the hall.



"Please come in, all of you, there is something which I need to tell all of you," Dumbledore said in a slightly louder voice, trying successfully to get the attention of the people outside the room.

As they came in, Harry took note of them. All of them being his age, there was a very short girl with long red hair, who seemed to be talking nonstop; a tall lanky boy with sandy-blonde hair, and very deep brown eyes that seemed to be listening to the chatty redhead. There was a girl of average height with blonde hair and mischievous blue eyes that appeared to be teasing a tall willow-like oriental girl who had black hair.



"First off, introductions," said Dumbledore, "as Harry probably does not know any of you."





"My name's Jill," piped the tiny redhead. She seemed to be having trouble staying still, and was twitching slightly.



"Cray," intoned the tall, lanky boy with brown eyes. He was having the exact opposite problem of Jill, he was disturbingly calm.



"I'm Floe, sorry about scaring you last night when I grabbed you." said the mischievous blonde, giggling, but clearly in deep thought about something or another.



"Hello, I'm Jenn." said the oriental girl. She was about to say something else when her long black hair suddenly turned blue and shoved itself in her mouth. Floe giggled and the rest of them looked exasperated, obviously pointing out the culprit.



Dumbledore waited until they had calmed down before saying "In any case, there is something important I must say to all of you. Long ago, contrary to what you all might believe, there were many different colored phoenixes. Six, in fact, one for each element type. Purple for mind, red for fire: the only one seen today, white for air, blue for water, and green for druid, or earth, as some call it. But there is another, One element that equals out the rest: black for darkness. All of these phoenixes, save a hand full of fire, who managed to escape, were locked up in a cathedral of the elements, so to say. Inside of this cathedral is sub temples for each element, where all the phoenixes are trapped." He paused, to let it all sink in and continued.



"Each one of you controls an element, I am almost certain. Jill, you control fire; Cray, mind; Floe, water; Jenn, air; and Harry, you control druid, or earth. As well, Voldemort controls darkness." surprisingly, no one flinched. " It will be your task, to find the cathedral of elements and to free the elemental phoenixes, all save the darkness ones. You must, under no circumstances go into the temple of darkness. As you free the phoenixes, you will find that your elemental powers will become active, and you will become very powerful. This is your task, you leave in a week. On a happier note, I have made hot cocoa and anyone who would like to join me is free to do so."
