Harry Potter and the Light of the Phoenix
By Korinna Myorin
Note: When people are talking in Ragnarok, they are usually speaking in their native tongue, but I'm just going to write it in English. But I will probably write it in their language if they are not there.
Chapter 2:
The days were going by fast now for Harry and the rest of the Orders members. Whether he was getting to know the members of the Order, or if he was going his job that the Dursley's gave him. Then on the 25th of June, Harry convinced his friends to go with him to Diagon Alley, since Harry had only been there to buy school supplies.
So using the new skills learned in the past weeks, they disguised Harry's appearance, so he looked something like Jose, with slightly lighter colored skin tone, and his eye's were a green hazel rather than the regular vibrant green. They wore transfigured robes that were charmed to the color of their choice, which was the same as their pendants. Which were:
Ali: A vibrant red orange José: A teal
Tyler: A royal blue Harry: A forest green
Deborah: A periwinkle blue Luda: A silvery gray
Niomi: A violet Valéry: A pink
Tenz: A wine red Alhaji(Haji): A bronze color
At Diagon Alley, they stood out a bit with their colorful wardrobe, especially Val in her pink robe, though she didn't mind the attention much.
They had lots of fun that Saturday, they shopped and window-shopped the whole day. Stopping only for lunch at the Leaky Cauldron, and a snack at Florecean's. When Harry got back to the Dursley's, his bags were full. The girls made him get three robes, the boys made him get a training snitch, and he got himself a miniature guitar on a stand that played music, like a stereo, except all you had to do was think of a song for it to play. He also had a couple of fiction books for him to read, recommended by his friends.
Harry happily settled into a routine with the Order, as well as keeping up to date with Ron and Hermione. Ron was a bit suspicious of where his twin brothers got a whole lot of galleons to start planning their store. Harry had not yet told Ron and Hermione about the Order, because they decided, or rather Apollo told them to wait until school started again. Also is the fact that they are just going to a select few, who are close confidants or family members.
They were all a bit frustrated at Apollo who made sure they wouldn't tell anyone about it, but in the mean time they kept busy. They designed a uniform that they could call up by a key phrase and a touch on their pendant, which could hold quite a bit of magic in it. But the uniforms were designed by Val, Ali, and Tyler, the girls were muggle born's, and Tyler was a half blood. The uniforms ended up being black slacks, that were easy to move it, a white collared shirt that had a couple of buttons undone, so you could see the pendant. Then they got soft black leather jackets, that were water proof for snow, and finally sunglasses that were black, but any style the person wanted. They were charmed to change the wearer's face slightly, so they wouldn't be recognized if it came down to that. Harry's charm though had to be more complicated, so as to add to the slight facial changes, his hair would grow out into a ponytail at the base of his neck, and his scar disappears.
Once that was done, they set to work on practicing dueling, and stocking up on their potions in their potion lab. They were all a bit restless, since they didn't know what to do. They wanted to find out what was happening to Voldermort, but Apollo made sure to keep them busy, and also to keep them thinking they weren't ready to confront him.
Then just as they were getting used to the new routine, it just wasn't to be. On July 1st a month exactly since they joined the Order, Harry was sitting on his bed, tinkering with some metal using a heating spell without his wand; (they were working on wandless magic at the Order). He was molding the metal, but like the month before, a light surrounds and swallows him up, though this time the light is green. He is once again transported to Ragnarok.
Like the last time, nine other spheres of light appear, this time each of them is colored for the person it was carrying. When they had all appeared, they were all looking at Apollo waiting for an answer.
"Why are you all looking at me for?" Apollo asked haughtily. "Look at each other, I think it is quite self explanatory."
They looked at each other in surprise. They all filled out a bit, and the guys also got a bit more muscular, and some of them grew an inch or so, including Harry.
"The least you could have done, is let me grow a little taller!" Val yelled toward the ceiling.
Everyone laughed at her antics. "Don't worry short stuff, we still love you!" Tyler told her, and patted her on the head. He hadn't grown then, he was still 5 foot five, but that was still over 5 inches taller than she was. Val pouted and swatted at the hand that was patting her on the head.
As the next few weeks went on, they changed and grew more and more the amazement of their parents and friends. They all had a good laugh when Val got her wish and grew a couple inches to 5 foot. But she was still a good 3 inches shorter than Niomi who at the time was 5' 3", but she ended up shooting up two more inches before their growth period of four weeks ended.
The Dursley's watched in amazement as Harry grew taller and slightly more muscular, but they didn't blame him, how could you blame a kid for growing? But they did confine him to his room, when he wasn't eating, or doing work around the house. Dudley, was actually loosing weight thanks to the program, and became closer to a regular overweight person, and in July he made 250 lb., which means he lost a little over 50lb of weight, his parents were so proud.
Nothing exciting happened in the Order except their growth, but unknown to them, on the 20th of July, Harry was going out to lunch from his job in town, he went to a little cafe around the corner. That day he had changed into his Order uniform, without the jacket and sunglasses, not that he needed them really anymore, since people would never recognize him anymore. He had also gotten new glasses with the money from his job, which were basically the same, except they were a bit bigger to fit his face. He had also gotten sunglasses clips for the glasses for the Orders uniform, which he charmed.
He had just ordered a sandwich and a juice, when another customer walked in and caught his eye. She looked about his age and height, maybe a touch shorter than him; she had dark brown hair that was down to her waist in a loose braid. Harry shook his head. He swore that the girls from the Order had a bad influence on him, so much about appearances they tried to drill into the poor boys innocent heads.
The girl was now looking for a table to sit at, and saw Harry looking at her, and locked gazes with him for a second, and then Harry looked away. He fingered his pendant, and looked elsewhere.
While Harry looked away, the girl slowly with a slight frown on her face walked to his table. Harry looked up as she reached his table.
"Can I help you?" Harry asked.
She squinted at him again, "You look familiar, but I can't place you," she replied.
Harry held out his hand, and said, "Harry Potter."
She took his hand and shook it saying, "Erin Heartilly," then inspirations seemed to come to her. "Oh, I know you!" Harry frowned slightly, the girl Erin had no magical signature that he could see, and he noticed that she had a slight American accent. Harry looked at he questionably, with a raised eyebrow he learned from Haji, and a slight tilt of the head.
"My friend Hermione had a picture of her best friends, though you don't really look like him, I remember she said your name. May I sit?" she asked as she pointed at a chair in front of him.
"Of course," he replied quickly.
They chatted for almost an hour, he found out she was from London originally, and her father worked at the World Bank, they had moved to America when she was 11 just as Hermione left for her boarding school. They visited every summer, to see their relatives and friends. She had stayed in touch with Hermione ever since she moved.
After that hour he had to leave, "I'm really sorry, but I need to be back to my work by one." She looked slightly confused by his words. "I have a summer job," he explained.
"Ah," was all she said, but she seemed to be a bit disappointed.
"But, um if you don't have anything planned or anything, maybe you could meet me here tomorrow for lunch."
She smiled, "Sure, I'm not doing anything. I'll see you tomorrow, and you'll have to tell me about you, since I told you my history." She pointed a threatening finger at him. Harry just chuckled, and waved goodbye.
Harry smiled to himself, as he walked back to work. He was looking forward to seeing Erin the next day.
A/N: Hope you liked the chapter people, do you think I'm adding to many characters? Not that I'm going to change it, but do you think? Any way thank you Red Dragons Order and Veronik for your reviews, and I do plan to give Harry as many powers as I can think of. It's not going to be Harry/ Hermione don't worry, but that is one of my favorite pairs.
