Chapter 9~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Staff: Part Two~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Merlin looked up to see Harry standing in the doorway holding a 6foot staff which was almost as tall as Harry himself.

"Well it looks like you found your staff. If I'm not mistaken it looks like ebony, correct?"

"Yes it is. I just wanted to know what our next step is in creating my staff" he said.

"The next thing you need to do is get a focus stone. Most likely it well be a sold color, mine was." He got up and went into a storeroom. When he came out he was holding what looked like apiece of rock covered in a lot of dirt.

"Um, Merlin what is /that/ supposed to be?!" Harry asked.

"Well this here is going to be your focus stone"

"But its"

"No Harry this /is/ going to be your focus stone. What you have to do is channel your energy into it. When you begin to see it shrink take out but a tiny part of your energy. It should form from there." Merlin just handed the stone to him and left him there.

/so I guess I should get started/ he thought.

He concentrated and began funneling his energy into the thing.

After about and hour or so Harry felt the on the verge of collapse when the stone began to shrink slowly.

Harry immediately pulled almost al of his power out and back into himself. At this it began to shrink faster until it looked like a miniature crystal ball, the difference was what was inside of it. In

Instead of a foggy mist there was a sliver light inside./I should go tell Merlin about this. I'm sure he'd know a little more about this than me/

He looked up from gazing at it to see Merlin already standing there smiling.

"I think Harry, if you look closely at your stone you will notice it changes colors. It only changes when you experience extreme emotions or are about to be in extreme danger a "speak-o-spoke' of sorts.

"its sneak-o-scope Merlin, abut I do think this is a lot better. It wont make a lot of noise will it?" he asked.

"Actually…" Harry sent him a glare." I was just kidding Harry. But if I could see your staff?"

Harry handed over his staff to Merlin wondering what he wanted it for.

"Now watch closely Harry."

As he watched, his stone was grasped in the claw of his staff

"And now onto the final step"
