Bad Feelings

Disclaimer: Let's see if I can make this shorter than the others. Ok, I don't own Harry Potter and co. I do own or at least have rights to the Tenshi. They allow me to use their personalities and their likeness, don't steal them or else you will encounter their wrath! Well again, I don't own Harry Potter and co.

Authors Note: Let's see. Time to answer questions asked in the reviews and to thank people. Hello to Rainsong, Daredelvil, Squeejum, and Bloody Angel. Your reviews mean a lot to me. Thank you. As to some of the questions: The main title is actually "Bittersweet Symphony" like the song. I like naming fics after songs and I actually try to use the titles. The chapter titles, I try to make them fit with what is going on in the chapters. Chapter 3, I screwed up a little and didn't change the title before I posted and I'm too lazy to edit it now. Oh well. I originally had plans to use that title, but it just kinda got screwed up, but oh well no serious damage done. No pun intended. Squeejum, any relation to the books? I just started reading the Squee series, so I just kinda thought that. Oh well. Hope I haven't offended anybody.
Before I start this chapter, does anybody know why, out of the majority of the people I have read on Fanfiction.net, the authors put their notes and thoughts at the bottom of the page? A few put them at the top, but a lot put them at the bottom. Not that it makes any difference, but...Oh well. I'm going to shut up before I bore everybody to death with my non-logical ramblings. If I haven't lost anybody by now, then please continue with chapter 4 of the story and enjoy.
Oh yeah. I live in America, so I'm not an expert on how people in England talk. You'll have to pardon me, if I make a mistake in how they talk. If anybody that reads this lives in Britain, feel free to contact me and point out any mistakes. Same goes to anybody reading this. If you see an error, tell me. I'll give out house points or goodies or whatever to whoever finds stuff and helps out. Maybe later, I'll start asking questions or something. ^.^ Oh well. On to the story now. (Finally, she shuts up. :)

"Why didn't Dad tell me he was becoming the new Minister? How..how did this all come about?" Ron stuttered out.
Dumbledore hesitated before answering. "He was nominated by some of his co-workers when Fudge was running. He didn't have enough votes to win. But now that Fudge is out of office, they held another vote and your father was again nominated. This time he had enough votes to win. He starts next week. As to why he didn't tell you. You can not ask me to fathom the mind of a dear friend. He may just be waiting for the right moment to tell you. A special occasion perhaps. I do not know, Ron. Ask him in private when you get home."
Harry looked at the three girls, wearing their identical uniforms. "I'm beginning to understand what's going on, but what do the Tenshi have to do with it? In fact, forgive my ignorance, but I'm not even quite sure whom or what the Tenshi are."
The girls looked at him and smiled. "It's ok. We'll try to explain it to you. You first Riley."
Riley began. "There's a prophecy. An ancient prophecy, as all prophecies tend to be. The prophecy is written in rhyme and is rather long. But I'll repeat it for you. It might help you understand." She took a deep breath and looked up at the ceiling, as if hoping to find either the words or inspiration there.

" Seek the Angels and you will see
the answers to all my prophecies.
Summon me once again in troubled times
Help once again, you must find.
Only when two worlds collide,
Will angels fall forth from the sky.
Only then will you find paradise.
Only then will you see,
what all my riddles truely mean.
Elements will they command,
like iron in their graceful hands.
Like rare snow will you see
the stars and immortality.
Fire falls like rain when they
like ice crush their enemies.
Wait until darkness falls
before giving me a call.
Trouble will you have to defeat
to prove that strong can be weak.
Emotions will you overthrow
less turmoil be your foe.
Death will come on swift, swift wings
when destiny becomes fulfilled at night.
Do not tremble nor be afraid
dragons will come to seek your aid.
Roses bloom and shadows fall
while you become strongest of all."

Everyone was silent as they digested the meaning of these words. Harry was the first one to speak up. "I still kinda don't understand what that has to do with you, me, Ron, Lord Voldemort, and everybody else in the world."
Robin grinned. "Let me try. Tenshi is Japanese for Angel. Nicole's title as a Tenshi is, Kosetsuno Tenshi, or the Angel of Snowfall. She likes to think she's the leader of our particular group." She paused.
"So, there are other tenshi out there?" Ron asked.
"Yes, but they have different duties than we do. In her Tenshi form, Nicole is able to wield the Earth Elements as weapons. Elements such as rain, wind, etc. She's also the archer and swordsman of our trio. Her natural abilities allow her to be fast.
Riley is known as Hoshino Tenshi or the Angel of Stars. Anything in the skies, she can command. So she can cause eclipses, meteor showers, and anything to do with the stars. She is an expert with the staff and can beat anybody in a martial arts fight. Her natural abilities allow her to see farther than anybody on Earth. So basically, she has the eyes of a hawk, which makes her a useful tool in fighting.
I'm known as Kageno Tenshi. The Angel of Shadows. I'm the Tenshi of the Never worlds. Anything that has to do with the mind, such as dreams, is my territory. I can manipulate thoughts and I only battle mentally. I'm ok at martial arts and other physical forms of fighting, but I prefer to attack mentally. I can allow anybody I want to be invisible. My natural abilities are like next to nothing. I contribute to the group what I want, when I want." Robin concluded.
When all the Tenshi had been introduced, they stood up and bowed. "It is our pleasure to be of service to you." They said in unison.
Nicole noticed that Harry still looked kinda lost. "Look. Here's the breakdown. We've had like ninety million past lives and have like fifty more coming, more than likely. The Tenshi appear in each lifetime, where there is extreme trouble. In one life, we saved several countries from being conquered by another country. In another, we stopped an evil force from taking over the world. We just show up where there is trouble. All we do is save the world.
We've already told you about the elements part and the part about troubling times. When Voldemort rose to power, so did we. We weren't there the first time to stop him because we had just been reborn. Now we're able to stop him. We have to fulfill our destiny. There's only one problem with doing that. It involves us and others getting hurt. In fact, if we do our job right, then the chances that we die are like 99 to 1."
"But how can you live knowing that you'll probably die when you face Voldemort?" Ron asked.
"I guess it's because we've died so many times before or the fact that we save the world from a worse fate. I don't know which. It could be both. But death for us, isn't the same as it is for you. Our job is to die protecting those we love and those who don't know us. We do our part because we have to but more importantly, because we WANT to."
Silence again reigned in the room. Realization of what was just said sunk in on Harry. He looked at the girls with shock on his face. "So what does the rest of the prophecy mean? The part about the dragons and roses and stuff."
"Well we have a guess, but we're not quite sure. We don't plan stuff that far in the future. We just deal with the here and now and that part of the prophecy is too far in the future to worry about."
This information was digested. "So what do we do now?"
"Right now, we keep all of you safe at Hogwarts. Whatever happens next will happen."
Harry looked at the tenshi as a person entered the room completely breathless. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but something's happened. Something bad. At Hogwarts. Death Eaters."
