A/n At long last here it is chapter five. Sorry for the wait I've been busy and lazy but well its done (haha!) and its longer then usual to make up for the wait. Enjoy! And remember to please review!

Phoenix Fire

I woke the next morning to the sound of bells ringing. Day two of my so-called vacation was starting and I wasn't so sure I wanted to be here. Its nice being away from the Dursleys and hanging out with Ron and Hermione for the summer but I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something I was suppose to be doing right now. I couldn't figure it out, its like that feeling you get when you leave the common room in the mourning and you have that feeling you forgot something but cant remember what it is until you get to the Great Hall and realize you left your homework in your room. However it was no use trying to remember this time, I would simply have to hope it came to me later, right now I needed to get dressed. I hastily but on some jeans and a shirt and was just tying my shoe when Jeff came in and told us to head over to the lodge for breakfast.

"Lets go find Hermione and claim a table before they're all full." Ron said looking around for Hermione. It didn't take us long to find her, she found us rather, she had also already saved a table by the window so all we had to do was go get our food.

"Yum! Danishes and French toast!" Hermione exclaimed as we reached the counter were all the food was set out.

"Look they have pancakes in the shape of a snitch." I said as I helped myself to a couple of them. Hopefully the tasted as good as the looked. We headed back to the table with our food and began eating contentedly.

"Umm… excuse me…." Said a quite voice from behind me. "Is it all right if sit with you guys again?"

I turned to see who it was and wasn't surprised to see the girl, Diana I think her name was, standing behind me.

"Of course you can Diana we've got plenty of room at our table to spare." Hermione said as she cleared a place for Diana to sit. "Ron, Harry this is Diana she has the bed next to mine in the cabin, you don't mind if she sits with us do you?"

"No." Ron and I said watching as Diana sat down.

"So what position do you play?" Ron asked Diana after she had taken her seat.

"I don't really play Quidditch. My mum thought it would be a good idea if I came here, she says I don't have enough friends since I'm home schooled."

"Home schooled?" I asked, I never knew there was such a thing.

"Yeah, it's where you learn at home from either a tutor or your parents. I have both, my mum teaches me charms and divination, my dad teaches me potions and astronomy, and my tutor teaches me everything else."

"It must get boring being by yourself all the time." Hermione stated.

"And imagine if you didn't do your homework… eeehh." Ron shivered.

"I think it would be fun. You wouldn't have to deal with Malfoy or worry about the latest mystery or get caught up in some stupid tournament…" I said wistfully imaging what it would be like. Their silence made me realize what I had said and I immediately wished I hadn't said it. "Not that I mind any of that…"

"Who is Malfoy?" Diana asked me timidly.

"Draco Malfoy is the most annoying stupid mean evil person at Hogwarts. I hate him! (a/n sorry Draco fans! ^-^')" Ron replied for me. I laughed as he viciously ripped his napkin into little tiny pieces at the thought of Malfoy.

"Oh…" Diana said and looked down at her plate.

We ate the rest of the meal in silence. The pancakes were surprisingly good once drowned in maple syrup. Towards the end of the meal a counselor stood up on the little plat form in front of the lodge and made some announcements and asked that we return our plats and silverware to the kitchen window before we went outside. The four us followed her instructions then went outside to meet up with the rest of our unit. Jeff was already their waiting for us.

"All right every one here?" He asked the group.

"Yes." We replied.

"Good. Today we will be picking the teams that you will be on for the rest of the summer. Once on your teams you will be asked to designate a captain who will be in charge of the team while I work with the opposite team. You will then pick the position that you will be playing. Don't worry if you don't get the position you wanted we will be trading of every week. Any questions?" Jeff asked when he had finished explaining what we would be doing today. "No? Okay then get into teams and we'll get this party started."

We all stood there for a moment none of use were really sure how to dived into teams.

I of course wanted Ron and Hermione on my team so that meant we need four more people.

"Umm… We need for more people over here." I said to the group. "Any one want to be on our team?" They looked around at each other then Diana said she would be on our team.

"Okay then we only need three more people." I said to the remaining group of people.

"We'll be on your team wont we Jenna." Scott said to his sister.

"Sure." Jenna replied and they cam over to join our team."

"All right now we only need one more person." Ron said.

"I'll be on your team." The girl Alanna said and joined us.

"All right it looks like we got our teams. Jenna, Scott, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Diana, Alanna, you'll be team one until you choose a name for yourself, and Cody, Calli, Renna, Orion, Peter, Melanie, Howard, you guys will be team two."

We moved into our teams, and went to a near by bench and sat down before we decided who would be captain and what positions we wanted.

"So who wants to be captain?" Alanna asked.

"I'll do it if no one else wants to." Scott said.

"Fine with me. You always boss me around any way so you might as well have an excuse now." Said his sister Jenna.

"I don't mind." Said Hermione. The rest of us agreed. We had our captain now all we had to do was pick positions."

"Why don't we all say what position we play and if now one else plays the same position then you can have it and if some one else does you can do rock, paper, scissors, for it." Scott our new captain said. We all agreed. "I play Beater."

"I play beater too." Said his sister.

"Chaser." Said Ron.

"I've never played before, except at Ron's house and that was with apples so I don't know what position to play." Hermione said rather embarrassed that she didn't have a position.

"Seeker." I said quickly to cover up for Hermione.

"I've never played." Diana said. Well at lest Hermione wasn't the only one.

"Keeper." Alanna said next.

"Okay so we need two more chasers. Hermione, Diana that will be you two, don't worry its not a hard position to learn. As long as you can catch and pass you'll be fine." Scott said. He seems like he'll make a very good captain.

"I guess we're done then lets go tell Jeff." Jenna said about to get up.

"Wait. Don't we have to think of a name? I don't know about you guys but I don't want to be known as team one." Said Ron

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that." Jenna said sitting back down.

"Any ideas?" Hermione asked.

"What about Dragons Wing?" Alanna asked the team.

"No, no dragons." Replied. After the dragon thing last year I don't want to even think about dragons.

"All right." Alanna said as she tried to think of something else.

"Umm… how bout Phoenix Fire?" Diana suggested in her shy manner. I liked it, it had a nice ring to it.

"I like it." I said and the others agreed so we were no team Phoenix Fire.

"Lets go tell Jeff we're ready to practice." Scott said getting up and leading the team over to where Jeff was waiting. "We're finished and ready to practice now."

"Great. Whose captain?" Jeff asked with a smile.

"I am." Scott replied.

"Good. You sort out positions and choose a name?"

"Yes."

"Well what is it so I can record for future reference?" Jeff asked with a note of impatience in his voice.

"Phoenix Fire."

"All then team Phoenix Fire go ahead and go to your cabins and get your brooms if you have one if not don't worry we have some here we can lone you."

We left and went to our cabin. Hermione waited out side for us since she say no point in going to her cabin as she didn't have a broom. I got my Firebolt out of my trunk while Ron got out his Clean Sweep.

"I really wish I could have borrowed Fred or George's broom instead having to us this old thing, but when I asked them they said no because they needed them to practice in the off season and the didn't want me messing their brooms up either." Ron said as we walked over to where Hermione and Diana were talking while they waited for us. I was surprised to see that Diana had a Nimbus 2000 in her hand.

"I thought you said you never played Quidditch before?" I asked her as we reached them.

"I haven't." She replied.

"Then why do you have such a good broom?" I asked.

"Oh well my mum got it for me so I wouldn't feel like the odd one out for not having my own broom. She said if she's going to get me a broom it might as well be a good one, though its no Firebolt." She said eyeing my broom. "How'd you get such a good broom? I heard you lived with a bunch of magic hating muggles."

"How'd you know that?" I asked her curious to know how almost complete strangers know my living arrangements.

"My dad works for the ministry, he was one of the ministry members who had to deflate your uncle's sister." She replied shyly looking down at her feet.

"Oh…" I blushed few people knew about the time I inflated my aunt, it wasn't something I was exactly proud of, loosing my temper like I did. She deserved it though.

"So how'd you get the Firebolt?" She asked again.

"It was a present from someone who knew my parents." I didn't want to say godfather she might then ask who he is and that wouldn't be good.

"Oh that was nice of them." Was her short reply.

"Better head over to the Quidditch pitch now." Ron said as he and Hermione led the way.

The rest of the team was already there and waiting for us. Everyone had a broom in hand, most were Nimbuses a few Cleansweeps. It looked like Hermione was the only one on our team who didn't have a broom.

"All right now that everyone is here we can get started. Ron, I want you to take Hermione and Diana over there with the Quaffle and start teaching them the basics." Scott was starting to sound just like Wood. Before we know it we're all going to be training out in the pouring rain at eight o'clock in the mourning. Ron did as he was told though while the remaining four of us waited for his next command.

"Alanna I want you to go over with Ron and help him, when you think they're ready have them practice shooting."

"Right." Alanna head over to were Ron was showing them the basics.

"Harry, I want you to practice with the snitch for a while then I'll come over and throw you some of these little white balls to catch." Scott instructed me. I was glad to be back in the air with the snitch, it had been so long since I had last caught it in my hand, I missed it. I had been at it for an hour, and had caught it seven times all ready when Scott flew over.

"How's it going? Ready to take a brake?" He asked as I caught the snitch for the eighth time.

"Sure." I replied and started to descend.

"How many times did you catch that thing?" He asked me as we reached the ground.

"Eight." I replied shortly putting the snitch back in the chest.

"Eight!? In an hour? Impressive. I take it you play for your school team?" He asked impressed.

"Yeah, since first year. I'm the official Gryffindor Seeker." (a/n is that bragging? I hope not)

"Really? Well I'm glad I decided to join this team with a seeker like you we'll be sure to win. Unless our chasers and keeper are a total flop."

"Don't worry Ron's actually good and Hermione is a quick learner she'll catch on eventually." The rest of the team was already over at a table that had been set up with water on it. I grabed a cup and went to talk to Hermione and Ron.

"How's it going?" I asked.

"Not bad. Hermione actually made a goal. Diana is doing good too." Ron replied taking a sip of water.

It came out of no where. There was no warning. The pain started in my scar and spread all through my head. It was blinding I couldn't breath I couldn't even think. I dropped to the floor with a dull thud. I could barely hear Ron and Hermione frantically calling to me. I couldn't see, the pain was so bad I couldn't take it I vaguely remember Ron running for help and Hermione explaining breathlessly to the team it was my scar, before I passed out. I woke up some time later in what had to be the nurse's office. The pain in my forehead was still there dulled some by some kind of potion the nurse must have given me. Ron and Hermione were standing next to my bed the rest of the team waited outside.

"Harry are you all right?" Ron asked helplessly.

"Does your scar still hurt?" Hermione asked anxiously.

"Yeah. Its never been this bad before. Voldemort must be on the rampage." I said meekly. "Don't worry, I'll live. I always do don't I? I just need to get some sleep for a while. You guys go tell the team I'm all right and go practice some more, Hermione needs it."

"All right." Ron said reluctantly. They left me with a 'feel better' and 'get well soon'. It's a good thing they're use to my frequent hospital visits other wise it would have taken me forever to convince them to leave. I then rolled over on to my side and tried to sleep.

I must have drifted off eventually because the next time I opened my eyes it was twilight and Diana was standing over my bed. I was about to say something to her when I noticed her eyes were glazed over and her whole body looked kind of limp. Just like Professor Trelawney looked in my third year after my end of term exam.

"Harry." Diana said only it wasn't Diana's voice, it sounded much older and yet at the same time familiar. "You are in grave danger here Harry. There are things happening that not even Dumbledore himself could have predicted. Things aren't always what they appear to be. Remember that my green eyed child. Times are changing…"

"Who are you?" I asked though I doubted she would answer.

"Your scar causes you pain. I will help erase your pain before I go." She had ignored my question as I thought she would. The women or Diana or both I'm not sure, put her hand over my head and a pale gold light shimmered above my scar. The pain was gone as swiftly as it had come and the feeling that there was something I should be doing returned. But I didn't have more then a second to acknowledge it for the second the gold light went out Diana collapsed on the floor.

"Diana?" asked as I got out off bed and lifted her onto the bed in my place. She opened her eyes slowly and looked around. A moment of shock flashed across her face before she turned her head away from me and whispered every so faintly "Not again…" She passed out after that and I laid her down on the bed and went to get the nurse. The nurse came quickly to where the girl lay. She checked her pulse and temperature and declared everything normal. She thought Diana must have just passed out from the shock of today's events. She informed me that Diana would be back on her feet after a good night's rest and some food.

I left after that and went quickly to my cabin to write a letter to Sirius who would probably write a letter to Dumbledore. I told him everything that happened and then gave the letter to Hedwig and asked her to get it to him as soon as possible. With that done I went to find Ron and Hermione to tell them what had happened.

A/N Let me know what you think and review or e-mail. I'm not sure what to do in the next chapter so if you have any ideas please share them. Other then that it will just be what comes, comes. I am trying to be more organized with the chapters now though, by writing what will be the chapter on a piece of paper before I actually write it. I did that with this chapter and it worked really well. I'm also thinking of changing the name of the story to Phoenix Fire, I've become very attached to it, I think it sounds cool. Let me know what you think, yes, no, maybe, are you nuts!?! And so on… Please Review!
