"Hello?" Harry echoed down the stairs. "Who's there? Harry?" Aleida said out of shock. "Yeah!" he said as he came down the stairs "Why are you here so late?" "Well . . . um Harry I need to tell you something." Aleida said out of complete seriousness. "That is fi . . ." Harry said before he was cut off "But you can't tell Hermione and Ron!" she said. "What?!?!" Harry asked very confused. "You can't tell them, Well what I'm about to tell . . . show you is very private." she whispered. "OK then." Harry responded. "First I'll show then I'll explain" she explained. "OK!" said Harry once more trying to follow what she was saying. "Here goes nothing." She said as she closed her eyes. Harry waited for her to say something, but instead had to shield his eyes. A light had emerged from Aleida's chest and began to encircle her body. Soon her entire body was no longer visible; instead she just looked like a star in the sky. Then Harry saw a bundle of feathers come from the light and shortly there after cover the light. The only light seen was inching its way through the folds of the feathers. Then the feathers unfolded and there was the true Aleida. Long blonde hair flowed down the back of her tube top dress, whiter than snow, which flowed, to the ground in a flowery fashion. The only thing setting her apart was the large pair of folded wings loomed from her back and a long chain connected to a bottle filled with some sort of slivery -red liquid. "Well?" Aleida asked. "I . . .I don't . . . know what to say." Harry stammered gawking at the sight before him. "I'll explain but where to start?" she asked herself. "The beginning seems best" she began "I'm your guardian angel Harry even in the wizarding world this is well not excepted as in the muggle world wizards don't believe in angels. But, as you can see, we exist we just stay in hiding and there isn't a lot of us. I came to be your guardian angel by your parents. They both had angels too and an angel must follow their "person" everywhere so when your parents met so did mine." she paused. "Well, there is this . . . thing with angels, we are meant to protect the person we are assigned to and can only die if that person dies or if we give our life to the person. My dad was helping James, your dad, fight Voledmort and when he realized that your dad was in trouble my dad gave his life to yours. When an angels gives their life it means that the person receiving it will have a another life, for example if you were going to die and I gave my life it would have you live until another day. So my dad did that and then Voledmort . . . ." She paused once again this time longer than the first. " Voledmort went to kill your mom and my mother was with her. My mom had giving her life before Voledmort even enter the room. Your mom died twice for you. Then it was my turn I was young, but not as young as you were. Err I mean angels physically age faster than humans see I have looked this way since I was six. So when I was mentally one, I looked six. I didn't have the mind of what to do so Voledmort thought he killed me with a disarming charm because he didn't know I was an angel. I pretended to be dead so I could eventually help you. Then you defeated him and I was lost in the rubble Hagrid came to get you and could see me. The rest I believe you know." She thought for a moment and started in again. "Oh, I forgot the reason we I didn't know and find you quicker was because Dumbledore contacted me when he could find me. All my moving made it highly difficult for anyone to find me. I moved because I was looking for something. Well to be precise someone . . . you. I didn't remember anything but my heart knew something my mind didn't and I went searching. When Dumbledore finally found me he told me to wait until you were eleven. But then I was side tracked and couldn't ell you personally anything until now. I was looking out for you the whole time though." Harry's mind raced "she was there all those times we were planning something" his mind told him. "See!" she said, " I knew it would all click sooner or later. I forgot another thing soon Dumbledore told me I could tell the school my secret but I'm not sure when and he told me I needed to tell you first. That is why you cannot tell Hermione or Ron." Why now?" Harry finally said quite puzzled by all of this. "Because of recent events". Harry knew she was referring to the Tri- wizard tournament. "Wow!" he said out of shock. "OK, I won't tell them". "Oh, one more thing I have magic crystals that do whatever I tell them to" she added quickly. "Like what?" Harry asked his curiosity getting the best of him. "Like this" she said the same smile spreading. She raised her hand and a prism formed floating gently above it. She whispered some to it before the crystal flew off and tapped Harry on the head. "Here you might want a look at this" she giggled. Harry took the mirror out of her hand and looked at himself. His hair instead of the usually black was flamboyantly pink. "Change it back" Harry squeak out of fear. "Don't worry it will within ten minutes" she said laughing so hard she was barley breathing. He continued watching until it turned back to its natural color. He sighed very loudly out of relief and looked at Aleida who caught her breath eventually. " This is going to be great I will be soooooooo relived." Harry gave her a confused look and asked, "what do you mean?" "Oops when I'm in human form I get constant stabbing pains," she said wincing. "Ouch!" Harry said sympathetically. "Yeah, well we best head to bed. See you in the morning" Aleida said yawning as she turned to leave. "Night!" Harry called after her as she floated up the stairs. Just then Harry felt a familiar sensation of his stomach flipping around. "What is with that?" he asked himself quietly as he headed for the dorm.
