Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I'm doing this for the love of a
good story.
"This is the day huh?" Harry said as he kissed Ginny in the cheek. Blinking her surprise, Ginny raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"What day?" she asked but apparently amused.
"To open the tome."
"Why the kiss?"
"Why not?" Harry asked. Ginny never made an argument.
"What are you doing to my sister?" Ron suddenly said as he saw the two.
"Nothing," Harry said defensively. Ron smirked as he came over.
"How would you become one of the Weasleys if you call THAT nothing?" he asked. He smiled at Ginny and looked at Harry. "I do not think he's worthy."
"Give me time with him," Ginny said as she laughed. Ron laughed much to Harry's embarrassment.
"Don't worry mate, you're okay in my book," Ron said.
"I wish I'm okay in five other books," Harry sighed. They laughed it out until Hermione came and looked serious. She looked smug with her hands on her hips.
"What are you still doing here? Let's get to the bottom of this," Hermione said as she marched into Professor Hart's office.
"She's irritated at something she couldn't find out," Ron said and followed her. Harry shrugged and gave Ginny a smile before following them in.

"What are you doing here?" Ginny smiled as she saw Shiva inside the professor's office.
"He told me to come," Shiva shrugged as he nodded at Leon's direction. "He said that I'm a part of it too."
"Suuurrreee he did," Ginny smiled mischievously at her friend. Shiva smiled back and simply shrugged.
"Let's start," Leon said as he took out the large tome from his trunk. Shiva suddenly gasped as she saw it.
"The summoner's pride," she said. All the people in the room looked at her strangely.
"How did you know the name of the book?" Hermione asked.
"That's not important," Leon said as he smiled. But Harry felt that it was a forced smile.
"What is?" Ron asked.
"Who are you?" Leon asked. "There are only three types of people who know about the Pride. The Guardians, the summoned and... the summoners." Shiva sighed as she smirked.
"My name is Shilana Valina. Third child of lord Valina, keeper once of the Light of Alexandria and dubbed summoner of the sacred," Shiva smiled ruefully. "I hope I still have your confidence in me." Leon almost dropped the book at the sound of her name.
"So you have the Maiden's prayer?" Ginny asked hopefully, ignoring the professor's reaction. "We haven't found it." Shiva laughed and patted Ginny's head.
"The Maiden's Prayer is always with the current summoner," Shiva held her hand in the middle of Ginny's chest. "My time has past and another took my place."
"Pardon?" Ginny was confused on what Shiva was saying.
"You're necklace please," Leon asked holding his palm out for her. Reluctantly, Ginny took out the pendant that Harry gave her. She gave it to the professor and he placed it in a slot on the front of the book. They heard a click and all were astounded by the fact that they had the Maiden's Prayer the whole time and they didn't notice it.
Finally understanding, Ginny smiled at Shiva. "Are you a summoned one?" she asked.
"She's a Fayth," Leon said. He took the Light from Hermione and placed it in a slot in the back of the book. Another click of the lock could be heard.
"A what?" Harry asked, unfamiliar with the word.
"A Fayth is a summoner who becomes a summoned," Leon explained as he asked Harry for the Guardian's Blade. "She can still summon but also summoned by the high summoner, that's you," he pointed to Ginny. He placed the Blade into another slot and the locks of the tome opened.
"Carbuncle, Phoenix, Fenrir, Odin, they're all summoned?" Ginny asked in disbelief.
"Leviathan's still in the Light," Leon said. "Ready?" he asked but he already opened the tome. A streak of yellow light engulfed them as a maiden appeared from the book. She was yellow and had two sets of wings. She had them on her back and on the sides of her head. The boys couldn't help but gape at her beauty as a melodious hymn filled the room.
"Siren," Leon smiled. The maiden looked at Leon and was suddenly by his side, planting a soft kiss on his cheek. For some reason, Shiva wasn't jealous.
"I can't believe you have Siren," Shiva said in awe.
"It's hard to convince her to join us since I can't talk," Leon said. "Good thing she knows sign language."
"It's all here," Hermione said as she flipped the pages. "Names of the summoned, their elements. The names of the summoners, their Guardians. Vassals? Vassals are rare and considered one of the ultimate summoned. He can summon and be summoned like a Fayth but has control over all summoned."
"That's new to me," Shiva said as she looked from behind Hermione's shoulder.
"There's more," Hermione flipped the page. "Vassals and Fayths must give their vows to the summoner before she could use them."
"What else?" Ginny asked as she and Harry looked at the tome.
"This is not good," Hermione said. "It says here that the Summoned one or the Vassal is only called when the darkness overruns the light."
"Who's the Vassal?" Ron asked.
"The Vassal is a Guardian, a summoner and a summoned."
"All three?" Shiva asked stunned at the information.
"Very powerful," Harry said as he looked at their professor. But he was now standing by his window with Siren hugging him from behind. This confused Harry. But Shiva's smile made it easier to take.
"Siren is believed to be just a child," Shiva sighed.
"According to this, Siren's first master is the Guardian named Angelian," Hermione said as she looked at the blue-haired girl.
"Lian?" Shiva sighed and held her necklace. "Who's the next?"
"He was the only summoner that could call Siren."
"That's impossible," Shiva said scandalized.
"Why?" Ginny asked.
"Because all summoners are female," Leon said. With a caress of Siren's face, the yellow maiden disappeared in a shine of light.
"Is this book ever updated?" Ginny asked. Hermione turned the pages and smirked.
"Descendant of Merlin, Priestess of the shard, Keeper of the Maiden and summoner of the most sacred; Virginia Weasley. Yep, I think it's updated alright," Hermione said as she looked at her friend.
"How did I become a summoner?" Ginny asked looking at her friends for answers. Hermione once again smirked as she looked into the book.
"This is amazing," she said. "It has everything about you. Your powers were awakened by the individual named Tom Riddle as he took over your body and summoned the basilisk. It lays dormant until the fate intervened and led her to her the Vassal. This is confusing. Who's the vassal?"
"Another mystery to be solved," Leon said as she looked at them.
"Anyway, the summoner must gain the trust of the Fayth and the Vassal to be able to use her full potential."
"I did not have a Vassal," Shiva said as she sat down.
"You didn't know he was," Leon said as she gently approached her. "HE didn't know until of late."
"So the ultimate evil is Voldemort?" Harry asked. Leon nodded and with a wave of a hand the tome closed, locking its pages again. The keys suddenly flew and went to their owners. The Blade went to Harry, the Maiden went to Ginny and the Light went to Ron. Leon picked the tome and handed it to Hermione, who stood there shocked at his gift.
"So the Sacred Ancients had chosen," Shiva smiled. Leon nodded and looked out of the window.
"You must realize your full potential, lady Ginny," Leon smiled at the witch. "I feel the dark closing in."
"If she has to then she will," Shiva said confidently. "I shall be with her until the end."
"I shall be her Guardian," Harry said as he went to Ginny and knelt before her. "I shall protect her with all I can offer and more if needed." Ginny was almost in a verge of tears when Harry kissed her hand.
"Bravo Master Potter," Leon said in approval.
"Well," Ron smirked. "I can't let my baby sister go anywhere without me."
"This will be good," Hermione said as she wrapped her hands around the tome. "I can't leave you guys for a second."
"Summoner, Guardian, Bearer and Keeper," Shiva smiled at the four. "All we have to do is find enough sacreds to defeat the dark."
"Easier said than done," Hermione sighed. "The sacreds are scattered throughout the globe. According to the book that is."
"They will come when the time is right," Leon said and smiled. "Now, who wants butterbeer?"

The dark slowly marches. Unknowing that three pairs of eyes watched them as they go. Seeing enough, the guard of the gates of the underworld rushed to report to its master.
