[AN. hi I'm back.  I'm attempting what I promised to have the next chapter out in two weeks.  It may not happen though.

My Reviewers:

ken-chan ~ the green pendent that Harry received was a gift from Ron and Ginny.  It is not one of the elemental pendants.  The fireball that transformed into the pendent is the elemental pendent.  Sorry if that confused you.  The rest of your guesses where good, and if one of the elements was ice I could see Draco as that child.  However  I think the element that I have him as is the best.  I would be happy to e-mail you when updates occur and have created a mailing list for just that reason.  Hope you continue to review.

Sara Minks ~ your right Cho is not one of the children, neither are any of the Ravenclaws.

Sev Rickman ~ thanks for reviewing.

Mystick Angel ~ thank you for the encouragement]

Disclaimer: the characters of Anastasia Kou Cosmos and Rosaline Kou Cosmos are mine everything else belongs to J. K. Rowling.  Also the Heaven's Gate potion is one of my own creation if you wish to use it please ask and I'll be happy to let you make use of it.

Chapter 7-Explanations

            When lunch was over and everyone had returned to their common rooms, the Weasley's took possession of the corner of the Griffindor common room near the fire and sat down with Ron in the middle.  Hermonie sat down next to Ron and Harry took a seat next to the twins.  The rest of the 5th year boys and the Quidditch team took seats around Ron as well, each one looking at Ron for an explanation.  Ron sighed before asking his own question first.

            "What happened after I was hit?" Ron asked as he looked around and his friends and family.

            "Well Ana was moving before you were even hit.  She had walked to the front of the Quidditch stands and when you were hit jumped off," Hermonie told Ron as she looked at him.  "I screamed out your name and ran to the front of the Quidditch stands to watch as you fell.  As I watched you began to glow a sky blue colour and you slowly began to slow down as you fell.  I turned my attention to Ana who was also glowing but, she was glowing a golden colour.  When Ana hit the ground she ran to stand under you.  The glow around you faded and you fell into arms.  She took off out of the pitch with you in her arms.  After Ana had left, Professor Dumbledore told everyone to head to the Great Hall in the school and that what we had just seen would be explained to us there.  We wanted to go after you but the professor's wouldn't let us, telling us we had to wait for an explanation like everyone else," Hermonie told Ron, her eyes filling with tears as she remembered just how close to death he had come.  Ron wrapped his arms around Hermonie and held her to him as he began his explanation.

            "The first thing I remember after the pain in the back of my head, is being in the middle of the lake.  I swam with Rose to the shore where Ana cast a drying charm on both of us and Snape conjured blankets for us," Ron told them.

            "Why was Snape there?" Neville asked from his spot on the floor near the fire.

            "Don't know.  I guess when Rose left the Quidditch pitch he followed her.  I learned that Rose id a seer, but she can only see events that are important to the future.  She saw what was going to happen to me before it occurred and let Ana know through their twin bond," Ron said as he looked at his friends.

            "Twin bond?" Fred asked confused.

            "Remember last week, we learned all about the different bonds that can exist between two people.  The twin bond was a telepathic connection between twins.  It enables them to read each others minds and to communicate through telepathy," Angelina told the twins who nodded.

            "Why would Professor Kou see you getting hit with a Bludger Ron if she can only see events that are important to the future?" Seamus asked from his seat next to Neville.

            "I didn't understand that either, then Ana told me about how I was a part of the Oracle of Light, and …. Hermonie where are you going?" Ron asked as she stood up and headed to the stairs to the dormitories.

            "To get a book," she called back as she ran up the stairs.  The group around the fire shared an amused look and waited for Hermonie to return.  Less than a minute later Hermonie was back with the book in hand.  She sat back down beside Ron and began to flip through the book before stopping about halfway through the book.

            "Here it is.  *The Oracle of Light is the counter prophecy to the Prophecy of Shadows.  It reads:

Fire, water, earth, air, shadow, and light, Shall join the princess in her fight.  Enemies when they began, They shall unite for the good of man.

At the time of the Oracle's creation it was a beacon of hope in an otherwise doomed future.  As the Prophecy of Shadows says that the Demon King must only win the heart of the princess to plunge the world in to shadows, the greatest magic users of the time came together to create a way of ensuring that the Prophecy would never come true.  The Oracle was their creation.  One of the main reasons that the creators of the Oracle were so concerned about is that it was unknown if the princess would have been bonded to her soul mate with a soul bond.  If the princess is bonded to her soul mate then she will not fall to the Demon King.

The Oracle of Light is set to occur 3 years before the Prophecy of Shadows comes into effect.  Each of the elements list is a child who can control that element.  They are know as the Elemental Children and each of the noble houses of Cosmos are bond by duty to protect their corresponding child once they are found.  Each of the children once revealed shall possess a pendent, which shows what element they control.  The rune on the pendent and the colour of the stone itself are indications of what element the child controls.

No one knows what order the children will be revealed in once the summoning charm has been performed by the princess, but the Child of Shadows will be revealed at Halloween when the barriers between the Lands of the Living and the Realms of the Dead are at their weakest.  The Child of Shadows will create a portal which connects the two worlds and through which demons may travel.  Another child who has a set time for being revealed is the Child of Earth, which will be revealed in the first weeks of new growth in the spring.  The Earth Child's powers will cause the plants around them to grow abnormally fast, until eventually they will take on a life of their own.  The final child to be revealed shall be the Child of Fire.  It is unknown when this child shall be revealed but it will be before a year has passed since the performance of the summoning spell but, after the fifth child has been revealed.  The Child of Fire is the leader of the Elemental Children and is second in command only to the princess. *" Hermonie stopped reading before turning towards Ron.

"So what child are you Ron?" Hermonie asked the redhead beside her.  Ron smiled at her before answering. "The Child of Air."

"You never cease to amaze me Hermonie," Harry said as he smiled at his best friend.  Hermonie blushed and hid her face in her hands.

"Why is the Oracle so important?" Katie asked from her seat near the twins.

"The Oracle is the counter prophecy to the Prophecy of Shadows.  The Prophecy of Shadows tells of the fall of the world as we know it, if the princess of the prophecy falls in love with the Demon King.  No one knows who the original princess was.  All that is known about her is that she was the one who originally banished the Demon King to the Shadow lands.  No one knows who the princess is now only that she, like the original, is a mage," Hermonie answered before beginning to blush again as everyone stared at her.  She hid her face in her hands to get away from their stares.

"The bookworm strikes again," Harry said as he began to laugh at Hermonie.  Hermonie stuck her tongue out at Harry before beginning to laugh as well.  When they calmed down Ron spoke again.

"Actually Rose and Ana know who the princess is, but Ana told me not to worry about it.  She said that the princess is already soul bonded," Ron said as he looked at his friends.

"Soul bonded?" Dean asked.

"She's bonded to her soul mate.," Ron answered before Angelina could.  "I'm going to write a letter to my mom and then I'm going to sleep.  I'll see you all in the morning," Ron said as he stood up.  He kissed Hermonie on the top of her head before heading up the stairs to the boy's dormitories.  Shortly after he left the group by the fire separated until only Hermonie, Ginny, the twins, and Harry were left.  The five talked for a while before they too separated and went to bed.

Harry entered the 5th years dormitory and saw that all of his roommates were asleep.  Pulling off his school robes and changing into his pajamas, Harry climbed into his bed.  He lay his head down on his pillow and fell into one of the last few peaceful sleeps he would have for awhile.

[AN. done.  It's a short chapter, more or less a transitional chapter used to explain some of the things that were mentioned in previous chapters as well as in chapters to come.  This is the last of the finished written out chapters the next chapter may take awhile as I still have to write it out.  If anyone has ideas for pranks the twins can attempt to pull on Rose let me know.  I also need prank ideas for my other story so give me some ideas.  I have created a mailing list so if you wish to be notified when updates occur leave your e-mail in your review and I'll send you one when I update.  Till next chapter, keep the reviews coming,
