~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Voldemort walked over to Albus Dumbledore and smirked saying, "The muggle- loving fool thought he could keep me out of Hogwarts, very amusing."

Dumbledore kept a firm face and said nothing as Voldemort looked up and down the staff table.

"Severus Snape, the tratior, you will be killed," He hissed then stopped directly in front of Lily.

"Ahh yes, Lily Potter. So unfortunant that you switched sides, you would have been a good death eater. After all wouldn't the heir of Slytherin be good at that work?"

Silence filled the hall at this statement.

Voldemort looked at the Gryffindor table and said, "Where are they?"

Lily got her voice back and said, "You'll never find them. Harry and Jasmine are too well hidden."

He rounded to her and spat, "Where are they?"

She glared and said, "When you do find them it will be the day of your final downfall."

Voldemort looked very angry then smirked evilly and said, "How about I intoduce you to my right hand man. Take off your hood."

The man that attacked all the students took off his hood causing Lily to gasp.

"No, no!" She screamed.

The man smirked, raised his wand and muttered a spell.

Lily felt pain beyhond, this wasn't the crucio curse, this was much stronger then that.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry jolted up in his bed, breathing heavily.

He looked around and saw that it was about 2 in the morning.

He wipped some sweat off his forhead, and groaned in pain.

His scar was throbbing worse then ever.

He suddenly saw his hand and went a marble white, then jumped out of bed and rushed to the bathroom beside the boys dormitory.

He looked into the mirror, and what he saw made the pain in his scar get worse, it was bleeding!

It had never, never bled before, all though it glowed once or twice.

Harry let out strangled gasps, the pain kept getting worse.

He stumbled into the common room and sat down on one of thr couchs holding his head.

After a moment he felt a pair of arms yank him up and heard his sister's voice, "I knew it. I don't care HOW late it is, we're going to the hospital wing."

Harry tried to argue but couldn't so he just let Jasmine pull him through the halls of Hogwarts.

Jasmine knocked on the door of the hospital wing and a yawning Madam Pomfrey answered it.

"What now, you two are suppost to be asleep, OH MY GOODNESS! WHAT HAPPENED?"

Without waiting for an answer she dragged Harry in and made him lay down.

"Honestly! Your father was in here for getting hurt from quidditch, fights in the hallways and back fireing pranks, your mother was in here from getting hurt well dulling, at least I could understand why they were here," Madam Pomfrey mumbled then said, "Stay there and rest for awhile, you miss go back to your common room."

"Yes Madam Pomfrey," Jasmine said after a moment, then waved to Harry and walked out to go back to the common room, walking through the halls at night, alone, was a big mistake.

Jasmine quickly moved, know it wasn't safe to be up this late.

She kept looking behind her, getting a really nasty feeling of being followed.

She suddenly tripped and fell to the ground with a thud.

"I'm getting paranoid," She muttered then turned around, looking at a window, and turned around quickly seeing a refelction.

She let out a scream, and started crying as she saw who it was.

He walked towards her with a knife in his hand, and the next thing that happened she could barely remember, thanks to all the pain.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry jolted up, hearing Jasmine's scream, the last time this happened they had found Gemma dead.

He jumped out of his hospital bed, and even though Madam Pomfrey tried to stop him he ran in the direction his sister's scream came from.

He let out a sigh of relief as he saw her alive, but then ran to her side noticing her holding her head with pain, blood all over her hands.

"Jasmine, what's wrong? What happened? Let me see your head," He ordered her.

"It hurt so much, so much I can't even remember who did it, but I still remember the tattoo on his arm, a death eater, he said something about how you and me should match," Jasmine said well crying.

"Match? What does that mean?" Harry stopped, and looked at her head for a moment before pressing his hand to his scar, getting it covered in blood again.

His eyes widened and he said, "No, Jasmine let be see your head now."

"A knife, he cut it with a knife," She said and moved her hands, to show a newly cut lightning shaped slash.

Just then Professors Dumbledore, McGonagall, Lupin, Black, Potter and Madam Pomfrey all burst in.

"Oh my god!" Lily screamed when she saw both her children knealing on the floor, both bleeding from their heads.

"Oh god," Sirius said looking at their forheads, both with lightning bolt shaped cuts (Remember Harry's split open).

Lily knelt down by them and asked, "What happened?"

They told her everything, but Harry avoided his dream.

Lily nodded and was about to say something when Harry jumped up and glared at Dumbledore then said, "Now do you believe we're in danger? None of you are doing anything to stop this! By the time you do something all the Gryffindors, plus probably almost everyone else in Hogwarts will be dead!"

"Harry, calm down," Remus said.

"NO! LISTEN I'M TRIED OF EVERYONE GETTING HURT! EITHER YOU DO SOMETHING OR I WILL!" Harry yelled.

Jasmine stood up beside Harry and said, "He's right."

Lily looked between her two children, both had pale skin, both with black hair, both with looks of anger in their eyes, both with firm faces, both with their arms crossed, both with lightning bolt cuts on their forheads, both with blood travilling down their faces.

They looked so much a like now, you could tell they were realted.

No, their eyes. Harry has my emerald eyes, and Jasmine has the same sapphire eyes as, James Lily felt a silent sob go through her body and said, "Go to the hospital wing."

They looked at their mother, then glared at Dumbledore, then walked back to the hospital wing.

Lily walked back to her room and looked at a picture of her and James holding Harry, Jasmine and Gemma and let out a sob then said, "I won't lose Harry and Jasmine, I promise you that, James, Gemma."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jasmine and Harry ran quickly through the halls of Hogwarts down to the dungeons.

"We're late, we're so late," Jasmine said well puffing, her head still stinging.

Both of their cuts had stopped bleeding. Jasmine had complained about the pain through the night when Harry told her she was lucky she only had one. She had to agree, after all both of Harry's scar had split open. (Remember Harry got a second scar after that Quidditch Game?)

They ran to Defense Against the Dark Arts causing everyone that took that class to look at them.

"Harry, Jasmine, why are you late?" Professor Lupin asked them, he tried not to treat them different but like every other student in class.

"The hospital wing," Jasmine muttered out.

"My god, you two have been in there more then anyone else," Draco said with a slight sneer, for some reason after Gemma died he had started mocking them again.

Jasmine rounded and glared at him, but that was a mistake.

Jasmine didn't really have any bangs, they were about as long as her hair was and she had them off to the right side, and was using them to hide her new cut on her head. When she turned sharply around they moved and the slash came into view.

Malfoy's mouth fell open, and everyone gasped.

Jasmine realized what happened and her hand went to her head and clasped over her cut, and winced as it started bleeding slightly.

Professor Lupin was silent for a moment then said, "Jasmine, Harry, please take your seats."

They both nodded, grateful for the distraction and rushed to their seats, Harry beside Hermione, then Ron beside Harry, then Jasmine beside Ron.

Professor Lupin looked at his class and said, "Now like I was saying before the interuption, there are suppost to be several sphere's, and when placed together they create the," He stopped as Harry beat him to the statement.

"The Elements of Life."

"Correct Mr Potter. Does anybody know anything about the Elements?"

Jasmine raised her hand after no one did and said, "When they're all found they will combind as one to become something else, and if the one that put them all together is evil no one will be able to stop them ever, but if it's light then darkness can be defeated by it."

"Right, 5 points to Gryffindor," Lupin said then continued, "No one knows much about them, Professor Dumbledore himself told me everything I know about them myself, does anybody know what the Elements are?"

Harry slowly raised his hand and said, "There are 12 in all. The royal blue one is the Element of Knowledge, the canary yellow one is the Element of Friendship, the pale pink one is the Element of Love, the dark purple one is the Element of Family, the forest green one is the Element of Ambition, the scarlet red one is the Element of Courage, the deep aqua one is the Element of Trust, the dark gold one is the Element of Faith, the pale silver one is the Element of Light, the dark gray one is the Element of Darkness, the black one is the Element of Death and the white, or clear one, it was never seen since Merlin's time, is the Element of Life."

"Right, 15 points to Gryffindor." Lupin gave Harry a funny look, how did he know so much about them?

The rest of the class went smoothly, but something was bugging Harry, he didn't know what yet but in the back of his head he knew it was important........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone was sitting eating, talking and laughing in the Great Hall when Professor Dumbledore stood up. Silence replased all that.

He glanced at Harry and Jasmine, remembering what they said to him the night before. Well it's not their choice, I'm the Headmaster here.

"Now you all know there have been a few attacks around Hogwarts lately, and the death toll this year is higher then anyother. First Colin and Dennis Creevey, then Ginny Weasley, then Gemma Potter."

Everyone broke into whispers, and the word Gryffindor was heard from many.

"Also Gryffindor students have been kidnapped but found before they were hurt. Those students are: Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Seamus Figgining, Lavender Brown, Dean Thomas, and Parvati Patil. Also several Gryffindors have been attacked, they are: Neville Longbottom, Jasmine Potter and Harry Potter, and the whole Gryffindor Quidditch team was also attacked; Alicia Spinnet, Katie Bell, Angelina Johnson, Fred Weasley, George Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter. But never fear, the castle is as safe as ever and there is no problems at all. Now have a nice day."

Harry got a look of anger on his face and whispered to Jasmine, "I warned him. I warned him if he didn't do anything I would, and I plan on it."

Jasmine nodded and hissed, "Now without me your not."

Harry studied his sister for a moment then nodded and said, "We need to figure out what's happening first."

Jasmine nodded and continued eating.

Harry looked up as Professor Dumbledore stood up again and said, "Also Quidditch matchs are back on, we see no reason to keep them off any longer, also the Gryffindor/Slytherin match will be re-played, since the accident that happened last time."

Harry's mouth fell open, and even Draco yelled, "But Gryffindor still won fair and square."

"No, the snitch was outside the pitch bounds."

All the Gryffindor team was angry, all the teams were since they hadn't had practice in awhile.

Harry groaned and said, "Another thing I have to worry about."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry sat beside Hermione in Arithmancy, finishing the question Professor Vector gave him for homework.

He reached the last question of his homework just as the bell rang.

Hermione had finished awhile before and looked up from her book and blinked

Hermione looked at Harry for a moment before standing up and saying, "Come on, we got Charms next."

Harry nodded and followed her out of the now empty classroom.

They walked through the halls laughing and joking around when Hermione stopped and said, "Harry, where are we?"

"Huh? We're in the - wait, WHERE are we?" Harry said well looking around, he didn't reconize this part of the castle at all.

"Ok we came out of the Arithmancy class room, walked for a little while, turned left like always, then went through a door then," Harry stopped Hermione right there.

"We went through a door? We never go through a door well going to Charms from Arithmancy."

Hermione gasped and they started running in the direction they came only to run into a brick wall.

"Professor Dumbledore once told me that he walked in on a room filled with chamber pots that he didn't know was there, then later on when he went back to find it, it was gone, this could be a hall like that," Harry said.

"Well can't you do something? After all you are the heir of all the founders of Hogwarts plus Merlin," Hermione asked him.

Harry thought for a moment then said, "The founders gave me the ablility to change Hogwarts around, but I can't really get the hang of it yet, I tried millions of times but I can't even make a door right!"

Hermione sighed and said, "Well we might as well keep walking that way. We might find another door."

Harry nodded and they started walking again.

Hermione was slightly in front of Harry and turned to say something to him but her eyes went wide and she screamed, "Look out!"

Harry turned around to see a sword flying at him and the next thing he knew he was on the ground, Hermione had pushed him out of the way.

"Oh my god," Hermione breathed out as Sirius and Remus burst in through a secret passage.

"Harry? Hermione? What? HOLY!" Sirius saw the sword and then asked, "are you alright?"

Harry nodded, stood up and said, "Dumbledore's not helping, he's making it worse."

Hermione nodded in agreement.

Sirius and Remus both sighed, they agreed with this too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All the Quidditch teams stood together on the feild the morning before the Gryffindor/Slytherin match, all with a sense of forbodding.

The Ravenclaws were all sitting on the snowy ground. They were: Chasers Tyler Jimmerah, Gordon McTavish, and Justin Kurstin; Keeper Kyle Morgan; Beater Harold Yang and Beater Gerry Forman and Seeker and Captain Cho Chang.

The Hufflepuffs were: Seeker Morgan Flink; Chasers Derek Tailsman; Frank Hyran, and Peter Gery; Beaters Jamie Rowland and Toran McFred and Keeper and Captain Ernie Hullam.

The Slytherins were: Seeker Fraco Malfoy; Keeper Jimmy Flint; Beaters Hugo Timothy and Leonardo Jiggs; Chasers Ryan Mahan and Jon Gorge and Captain and Chaser Chris Nott.

The Gryffindors of course were: Beaters Fred Weasley and George Weasley; Chasers Katie Bell, Alicia Spinnet, and Angelina Johnson; Keeper Hermione Granger and Seeker and Captain Harry Potter.

Harry, Chris, Ernie, and Cho all stood together talking about something.

The other players noticed this but kept back, wonder what was going on.

"So since Dumbledore's not doing anything you are?" Chris asked Harry.

Harry nodded and said, "Jasmine and I agree that it's not safe here anymore. Think about it, whoever it is, is targeting Gryffindors now, but what if they DO get us all? Won't they move onto the other houses?"

Cho looked up and said, "They should be doing something, the only ones taking any caution is Professors Potter, Black, Lupin and Snape."

Ernie nodded and added, "I'm surprised with Snape though."

Chris shot him a looked up stayed quiet.

Hermione, Angelina, Katie, Alicia, Cho, Toran, Morgan, and Jamie (All the girls on the 4 teams) screamed as what sounded like very, very loud thunder cracked across the air.

They all moved into a big group and Hermione burried her face in Harry's chest.

He wrapped his arms around her and said clearly, "Hurry, lets get up to the school before something happens."

They nodded and everybody started running but when they reached the edge of the pitch they were thrown backwards.

"What the?" Jon said.

"Someone doesn't want us to leave," Toran said, her voice shaking.

There was a mumble of agreement.

Angelina suddenly frowed and said, "Do you feel that?"

They all froze and felt the ground shaking.

Suddenly the center of the pitch burst open and a bunch of weird looking bugs flew out.

Hermione screamed and said, "Those are Buzzels, they shoot their stingers in attack and have an extermely high temper."

"Their stingers, they only sting you right?" Draco asked.

"No, they have a poison in them," Hermione said and gripped Harry's arm.

"Get in the air, we can get away from them easier," Kyle said.

"But if we go on our brooms they'll have the advantage cause they stay in the air, we'll fall," George said.

Harry looked around then said, "Half of us in the air, half on the ground."

They all nodded and 14 of them flew into the air well the other 14 stayed on the ground. "Studify!"

Many spells flew at the creatures then Harry heard Hermione scream.

He rounded on his broom and saw about 5 Buzzels gang up on her, ready to strike her with their stingers.

"Hermione!" He yelled and quickly flew over to her and shoved her out of the way, getting a stinger in the back and falling to the ground.

"HARRY!" She screamed.

Katie, who was on the ground, rushed to Harry's side, she had always thought of him as a little brother.

As she knelt beside him she felt a pain in her side, screamed and went unconsious.

Everyone looked and saw two Gryffindors down.

A few were starting to panic when they saw George get hit and fall to the ground.

Then Angelina got hit and landed beside George.

That's when Hermione shot high in the air, looked at Cho, who nodded, and they both sent sparks in the air.

Everyone was coming to the pitch and saw this, and everyone rushed forwards to see what happened.

Jasmine was one of the first ones there and hit the barrier and bounced off it.

"What the hell?" She said angirly.

Lily looked in shock then got an idea. She quickly transformed into the small orange cat and got through the barrier...apparently only animals could.

Sirius followed suit and changed into the largw black dog and ran after Lily.

Remus also changed, he too had learned how to be animagi, and changed into a silver wolf and ran in.

Finally Professor McGonagall changed into a tabby cat and ran in.

Lily changed back and screamed at what she saw.

Sirius yelled a spell and half of them fell to the ground.

Then Remus yelled another one and the rest fell down.

The barriers broke but Professor McGonagall yelled at the students to go back to the castle.

Lily levitated the injured students onto strechers and moved them to the hospital wing. A few kids who saw them gasped and one girl even fainted.

Jasmine saw Harry, Katie, George and Angelina on the strechers and gasped, then a cold fury swept over her and she rounded to Dumbledore.

"ARE YOU HAPPY? IS THS PROOF ENOUGH THAT HOGWARTS IS NO LONGER SAFE?"

Everyone went silent, it wasn't every day you see somebody yelling at Albus Dumbledore.

"Miss Potter, calm down," He said to her sternly.

"NO! WE WARNED YOU! BOTH HARRY AND I DID! ARE YOU WAITING FOR ALL THE GRYFFINDORS AND THEN EVERYONE ELSE TO DIE? I THOGHT FUDGE WAS BAD, but I was wrong," She ended in a whisper then glared at him again and said harsley, "You might have been able to stop Harry and I before, but we will find who's doing this, weather you like it, or not." With that Jasmine stopped after her mother to the hospital wing.

Everyone was staring in awe as Jasmine's angry figure, that girl had more guts then any of them would have guessed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harry groaned and opened his eyes, seeing Jasmine sitting beside him.

"Jasmine," He said well shaking her, causing her eyes to open.

"Welcome back to the realm of the living bro," She said sarcastically.

"Haha, very funny. Anyways listen carefully, because this is important, whatever happens from here on in is very important. Voldemort is going to make his move soon and we need to be ready. Madam Pomfrey won't let me out of here for awhile and when I am let out I'll still be sick and weak, so find the Element of Life as fast as you can. And go my room and get that book I got from mom for me, it's very important I have it. We're in a race against time here, and every step we take or move we make will effect everything, understand?" He said slowly to Jasmine.

She looked at him for a moment and nodded, courage blazing in her sapphire eyes.

"You go it Harr, and get some rest so you'll be ready to fight when needed." With that Jasmine left the hospital wing.

Harry watched her for a moment before mumbing, "The race is on."
