Hey everyone! I found out why it takes me so long to update! Many writers
only type a few pages for their story but for every chapter of mine, I type
20 pages! 20 pages! That why it takes long. Be lucky that I don't use
cliffhangers, or at least I try not to. Well, here's the next chapter. Did
you ever realize that there's action in every chapter??? I try to make it
packed with action. Keep reviewing!
Death-Demon-Xero- If I just had them erase their memories, where would the fun be?
CrzyAznBaller77- hopefully I got the name right. Thank you for calling this a crazy story. I try to make it interesting Have any ideas to make it more interesting to your liking? Anything is accepted.
Coconut ice agent h/h- I'll definitely not leave the couple alone. Too much happens. Yes, Harry can move for example Caroline's fireball. I was thinking about putting it in the story at one time. I just have to figure out when.
Tom Riddle's Son- I read your story today. I love that story! You reviewed the most! Thanks a lot. I did add your character and he makes he debut in this chapter. I can't make any promises because it is hard working with so many characters.
Trippinwithcats- I won't even bother with Muggle School or SAT's because SAT's is really just for college.
Spunky- I said that Charlotte Church sang the song but thnaks for telling me! Everyone! The Little Horses was written by Aaron Copland. Or is it Arron?
Diana Uzeda Leon- thanks for saying that I'm most creative. I hope I'm not going too fast with the relationships. I'm trying to keep it low.
Kate Potter- I'm trying but put back in the gang but it's hard with all the characters. Do you have any suggestions of what they can do together? Or get in trouble together with?
Artemis fire mage of Golin- I will make Harry sing well but I don't know where to put it. . . It might come into play.

Harry awoke an hour later. Opening his eyes, he saw that he was alone on the couch. He slightly sat up and saw Jake and Ron playing a game of chess on one of the other couches. Matt was watching the game. Harry laid back down and moaned as he stretched.
"Number two's up," he heard Jake say. Harry stopped stretching and closed his eyes.
"Number two is going back to sleep," he mumbled as he moved until he was comfortable.
"Number two is going to get up because the all mighty leader has a new mission," Jake said back from his game.
"Number two is going back to sleep as he tries to save himself from danger."
"Number two needs to help find a new shapeshifter," Jake said.
Harry's eyes snapped open. "What?" he asked surprised as he sat up quickly.
"Stacy said something about a new member," Matt said looking away from the game.
"Not another trip to get us killed!" Harry yelled as he fell back on the couch.
"Well we all have to go," Matt said. "Stacy didn't tell us much about this person but I think we need to find them today."
"Why do we have to find them?" he asked. "Isn't Stacy suppose to do that?"
"No, not really," Matt said.
"She needs to stay here," Ron said as he moved his rook. "She's teaching Hermione and I today so you can go find this person."
"Come on," Matt said walking over to Harry and grabbing his arm. "The sooner we get out, the sooner we can get home." Harry stood and stretched as he waited for Jake and Ron to finish they're game. Ron was going to head to his room to get together the things needed for his studies as Jake, Matt, and Harry headed down to Stacy's office.
"Are you sure it's here?" Harry asked as they reached the office door.
"Positive," Jake answered as he knocked.
"Come in," they heard Stacy yell through the door. They opened it to find Caroline, Liz and Ashley already there.
"Finally!" Caroline exclaimed. "Now we can finally find out about this person. We've been trying to get information out of Stacy but she won't budge!"
"We'll now she can budge," Jake replied as he sat next to her. Matt and Harry took their seats. Stacy stood and began the meeting.
"I suppose you all know that we have new information on a new member. Today, I want you to find this new shapeshifter." She looked down at a piece of paper on her desk. "His name is Dean Portman. He lives not too far from here."
"He'll be easy to find," Liz remarked.
"That's what you think," Stacy said smiling. "He lives on David's street."
"In the muggle world?" Ashley asked. Stacy nodded. Harry glared out the window. David's street, why did it sound so familiar? Harry heard of it someplace before. Or he might've seen it. Harry suddenly remembered.
"But that's impossible," Harry thought aloud. "There's only one building on that street that's capable of housing people. It's not possible."
"It is Harry," Stacy said sadly. There was a small pause.
"What's impossible?" Liz asked.
"The only place on David's street to live is the David Cray Orphanage," Harry answered.
"He lives in an orphanage in the muggle world?" Matt asked puzzled. "But that would mean that he doesn't know anything about magic, about our world."
"So much for a small job," Jake mumbled quietly.
"Harry knows where the place is. You need to get Dean out of there," Stacy said sitting down at her desk. "There are reports that he knows magic."
"Witch nurses," Ashley mumbled. Everyone glared at her.
"What?" Matt asked.
"Witch and wizard nurses work in the muggle world just incase they need to tend to a patient that's not exactly a muggle. They're must be a witch or wizard that's working at the orphanage that keeps their eye on the kids there. One of them must've taught this Dean guy."
"Exactly," Stacy answered.
"Then why didn't they move him to a magic orphanage?" Jake asked.
"They tried but they couldn't move him without leaving behind a record on where he went and why," Stacy answered. She searched around on her desk for something. She held up a piece of paper that she read off of. "This is all the information I have on him. He lived his first five years in the muggle world when his father was arrested. He was charged for a murder that was staged."
"He didn't do it then," Harry said quietly thinking of Sirius.
Stacy shook her head. "Four years later, when he was nine, his mother died of cancer. He now lives in an orphanage."
"So both of his parents died?" Caroline asked. Everyone in the room was quiet.
"Both by the time he was nine," Stacy said. She picked up another piece of parchment and handed it to Jake. "This has his picture as well as his hair and eye color."
"How old is he?" Liz asked.
"About the same age as you. He's about the same age as Caroline and Jake if you look at it in months," Stacy answered.
"He's a shapeshifter?" Ashley asked. Stacy nodded. "Will he be an elemental as well?"
"It's a good possibility. You all are elementals so it's certain that he will be as well."
"How many elementals are there?" Harry asked.
"There's so many that I can't even count," she answered. Everyone stared at her. They only held six. Stacy would be number seven and Dean is number eight.
"Are all elementals good?" Harry thought out loud nervously.
"There are bad elementals. I just hope that we have the most powerful on our side. Many are good."
"Bad elementals," Matt repeated softly. "This will be a nightmare. Let's hope none of us duel with one until we fully have our powers."
"I couldn't agree with you more," Jake said.
"Shall we get going?" Liz asked standing up.
"Yea, I guess so," Jake said standing. They all stood and were about to leave when Ashley stopped and asked a question.
"Do you know what element he will be?"
"I have some suspicions," Stacy answered. "We'll just have to wait and see." They left the office without another word. They headed to the forest to be transported to the center.
"What color hair does he have?" Caroline asked glancing at the black and white photo in Jake's hands.
"Black I think," Jake said reading. "He has black eyes as well."
"Black eyes?" Matt asked. "That's different." They reached the forest and in no time found themselves in the abandoned classroom.
"Imagine if someone walks by or is in the room when we appear," Ashley remarked snickering as the exited the room. The passed a few people who gave them funny looks as they walked down the halls to the main doors and walked out into the bright sunshine.
"I should've worn sunglasses," Caroline said shielding her eyes.
"Me too," Liz said. "Where are we going?"
"This way," Harry said pointing down the block. They walked down the block looking at the people outside. Many were doing lawn work. They took a few turns down other blocks until Harry stopped them. He stopped them right in front of a large brick building with very small windows. It looked like a shabby old place. It felt horrible to call it a home. It wasn't a home. It looked like a prison.
"This is it?" Matt asked looking up at the building. Harry nodded as he slowly walked up to the front doors and into the building. Instantly he could smell mildew and dust. He sneezed as he looked around. There was a desk in front with a woman typing away at a computer while on the phone. It was a pleasure call.
"So how about the movies tonight?" she was saying to whoever was on the phone.
"How do we get by her?" Jake asked quietly. They looked around the room. Caroline had an idea.
"Wolf, see that light switch?" Harry nodded. "Can you turn off all the lights and cut the power to the whole building?" Harry thought about it.
"I don't think so but I can switch all the switches so the powers out and as they turn back on the power, I'll turn it off again." He answered.
"Why don't we just erase the memory of anyone who sees us?" Matt asked.
"Because that takes the fun out of it!" Caroline exclaimed. "Let's do this." Harry thought about the light switches and moved his hand as if to turn one off. He heard screams as all the lights went off.
"Well it worked," Ashley remarked as they quickly walked down one of the halls and up a few flights of stairs to find a hall that had a sign saying 15 year olds. They followed it for awhile. They looked at the names on the doors of the occupants but they couldn't find the name Portman.
"Where is he?" Liz asked desperately as they checked the last door on the hall.
"This is ridiculous!" Matt exclaimed as many lights flickered on.
"We need something more permanent!" Liz exclaimed. Caroline looked around until something caught her eye.
"Wolf, turn off the lights when I say," she said looking up at the ceiling. They followed her gaze and smiled. It was a shower that went of when smoke was detected. Out of a finger, a small fireball shot up and hit the little shower. The results were instant. Water fell down from all of the showers in the building. "Now Wolf!" she exclaimed. Harry turned off the lights. He and the others were soaked.
"Well this was brilliant!" Jake exclaimed sarcastically looking down at his wet clothes.
"Did you have a better idea?" Caroline asked angrily.
"I do!" Ashley yelled. "Let's move and get going before the water is turned off, the lights are turned on, and people start coming out of the rooms." They all agreed as they headed down another hallway. This hallway was for the 16-year-olds. They ran down the hallway for awhile before they found themselves tripping over the large amounts of water on the floor.
"Let's try this way! They have to be here somewhere," they heard a voice say. They turned around and saw two guys trying to run down the hallway right to them.
"Come on!" Harry yelled as he jumped to an area that they couldn't see them. It was in a small hallway to a room for one of the orphans.
"Shark, can't you do anything?" Liz asked. Matt nodded and held out his hand. He moved it in the direction of the two guys. They saw the water by them leave as they heard the two guys yelling. They looked around the corner to see a tidal wave come right down on them. The two guys got right back up. To they're surprise, the two men reached into their pockets and drew out two wands. Harry heard Jake curse silently.
"Come on!" Harry said as he pulled them into the room and slammed the door shut.
"Wands?" Ashley asked.
"They knew about him!" Liz exclaimed as she looked out through the window in the door.
"This is a nightmare!" Matt exclaimed.
"There in one of these rooms!" they heard one guy say. They were death eaters dressed in muggle clothes.
"What are we going to do?" Caroline asked.
"We'll I've been getting better with my element," Jake said as he said an incantation. A piece of the floor made a hill right at the bottom of the door. The door could no longer open.
"But what if they try to blast through?" Matt asked.
Liz jumped up in front of the door and surrounded it with a thick layer of ice. "You think that'll work?" she asked.
"Maybe," Ashley said shrugging.
"Who are you?" a voice asked. They swung around and saw a boy around they're age looking at them in surprise and amazement. Jake looked at him in confusion as he reached into his pocket and took out the picture of Dean. Jake looked at the picture then to the boy, then back again.
"Are you Dean Portman?" he asked. Everyone looked at him in shock before looking at the boy. He had black eyes and hair.
"Yea," he answered, looking at them. "Why do you want to know?"
"You know magic right?" Caroline asked. They still heard the footsteps of the two death eaters in the hallway.
Dean looked at them as if they were crazy. "Yea," he answered holding up a wand that was lying on a dresser.
"Did you ever do things like wandless magic or things that were amazing?" Ashley asked,
"Like this?" Dean asked as he walked over to a flower lying on the dresser. He picked it up and showed them the dead petals. He closed his eyes and suddenly the flower was covered in crystal. He opened his eyes to see the shapeshifters looking at his amazed with they're mouths open.
"We found our guy," Caroline remarked looking at the flower.
Harry looked around the room. It was a small room. His mind kept telling him to get out. It was too small for him. Harry hid his fear. He never told anyone except Ashley. He glanced over to her and saw that she was uncomfortable as well. She kept fidgeting. She was shaking slightly as she looked around the room.
"They have to be in one of these two rooms!" a voice yelled from the opposite side of the door. They were much closer. They sounded like they were right outside.
"We have to get out of here!" Ashley exclaimed looking at the door.
"This isn't the first time they're here," Dean replied looking at the door. He sounded so calm.
"How many times were they here?" Matt asked amazed on how calm he was.
"A few times before," he replied. Suddenly they all jumped as the door shook. They found the room.
Harry looked around the room for a way out before going to one of the windows and yanking it open. They were on the third floor.
"How are we getting out of here?" Liz asked as she ran to Harry and saw that they window wasn't going to be part of the escape route.
"I don't know," Jake said. The door was banged on more. They heard spells being thrown at the door. "Liz, watch the ice on the door. If it thins, add more ice!" Liz nodded and stood near the door.
"I have an idea," Dean said his eyes glanced to the closet. He ran to the closet and threw it open. They heard him banging on something inside.
"What are you doing?" Ashley asked watching. She then heard the sound of cracking wood before Dean came back out again.
"I think I have a way out," he announced. "We can get through the hole in the closet. It leads to the next room." Jake looked at him a second before nodding and ordering everyone through the hole. They all went through the hole one by one. It was a very small hole that indeed led to the room next door. No one was in there.
"Now where are we?" Jake asked after going through the hole. He was the last one.
"The room next to mine," Dean responded. He looked around the room. "She's not here right now." They suddenly heard the door in Dean's room smash open. Everyone looked up in alarm.
"The only way we're getting out of here was through the hallway," Ashley announced. Everyone already knew it.
'Let's make a run for it before the death eaters find us," Jake said they all ran out of the room and down the hallway careful not to pass Dean's room. While running, Matt slipped on the wet floor. Some areas were still wet but the showers were turned off.
"They're they are!" one of the death eaters cried. They nearly missed a curse thrown at them.
"I have an idea," Liz said. "Make more water on the floor, Shark." Matt made water cover the floor as Liz placed ice right under it. It was extra slippery as both death eaters slipped. The floor would only ice where the group already was. They raced down flights of stairs and were racing to the front door when someone grabbed the back of Caroline's shirt. She cried out as she was stopped. They turned to see none other than Lucius Malfoy holding Caroline back with a grin on his face.
"Found you once and for all," he sneered looking at each of them. "Too bad Potter isn't with you. Master would be pleased anyway." Harry looked at him confused. His eyes went wide as he realized what happened. Malfoy didn't recognize him. Harry smirked a little.
"Let Caroline go!" Jake ordered forcefully. Malfoy laughed.
"What makes you think that I'm going to listen to a little boy?" he asked.
Jake had enough. "Wolf," he said simply looking at Harry. Harry looked back. Jake noticed that Malfoy didn't recognize Harry so it was best not to call him by his name. The others caught on. Harry knew exactly what Jake wanted him to do. He concentrated as a large white ball of energy erupted from his fingertips. With a slight twitch, it was sent into Malfoy's chest. It hit him hard as he tumbled backwards but Harry made sure that Caroline stayed where she was. She was released and ran to join the group. She had a temper just like her element as she put the death eater on fire right before he got up. Matt had to put him out. It was best to keep him alive so they could question him.
They stood brave as Malfoy stood and faced the group in anger. His robes were smoking.
"I'll show you!" He yelled as he sent the killing curse to the first person he saw. It happened to be Dean. Harry's eyes went wide as he watched the green light go by. He went to stop it until it stopped on his own. Harry looked at the curse in amazement. It was covered in a crystal and stopped right in front of Dean's chest. Dean looked at it amazed before waving his hand over it. The crystal, as well as the curse, disappeared. "Whoa," he replied.
"Not bad for a beginner," Matt remarked. Malfoy looked angrier than ever. He shot more but none were close to any of the people.
"Give it up already!" Liz exclaimed.
"You'll never actually hit us," Caroline added.
"So we bid you good bye," Ashley added.
"But not just for tonight," Matt said.
"Or for a day," Harry said smirking.
"But for as long as we are around," Jake finished before making the floor move and kick Malfoy out through the doors. They laughed as he went flying.
"That was cool," Dean remarked. "But who are you?"
"We've got a lot of explaining to do," Liz said.
"Just let's go home first okay?" Ashley asked.
"To home it is!" Jake yelled. "And let's hope that none of the muggles saw that."
"None did, they were busy running out of the building," said a voice behind them. They turned frightened, at the sudden voice. It was the voice of an adult woman.
"Hey Echo," Dean said. The others breathed a sign of relief.
"Hey Dean," she replied. "Getting out of here at last huh?"
"Definitely," Jake replied for him. "Especially since there is a death eater waiting outside for us."
"I saw," Echo said. "That was very impressive. I was getting ready to curse him when I arrived but he was already being thrown out the door."
"You're a witch?" Ashley asked.
Echo smiled. "Who do you think taught Dean what he knows? I live here to teach the wizards and witches that come here. I take it that you are here to take Dean to the House of the Gifted?"
"That's our mission," Matt said smiling.
"What's the teacher's name?" Echo asked smirking.
"Stacy Miller," they replied at once.
"You passed," Echo said smiling. "Just had to make sure that you were who you said you were. I would ask you more but not everyone is an elemental."
"Where am I going?" Dean asked. "And again, who are you?" They didn't have much time to explain who they were when they met. They had death eaters on their tail.
"I'm Jake Malon," Jake said. They all introduced themselves and their nicknames. They were about to leave before remembered something.
"What about those other death eaters?"
"They're taken care of," Echo replied twirling her wand between her fingers. They finally left the orphanage three hours after they arrived. They brought Dean to the teen canter where they were transported to the House through the classroom, to Dean's astonishment.
"Welcome to the house of the Gifted," Jake replied after they're feet landed on the ground. Dean took a few minutes to look around before they headed inside and right to Stacy's office.
"We're home!" Jake yelled through the door.
"Don't yell!" Stacy's voice said back. They entered the room. Ron, Hermione, Sirius, and Remus were also in the room.
"Were you able to find him?" Stacy asked right when Jake put a foot into the room.
"Yea, what an adventure that was," he said under his breath.
"Do I even want to know?" she asked plainly.
"Not at all," Harry replied walking in. Dean walked in right behind him.
"Dean Portman?" Stacy asked when she saw him. He nodded slowly. "My name is Stacy Miller." She went on for awhile explaining why Dean was there. They then showed him to his crystal room and to the major areas in the house. They then ended up in the eating hall for dinner.
"How do you like the place?" Ashley asked Dean.
"I love it. It's huge!" he answered.
"What did you two do today?" Harry asked Hermione and Ron.
"We worked on some school work today," Hermione answered.
"It was boring," Ron commented.
"Professor Miller is a great teacher. It wasn't boring!" Hermione responded back.
"Hedwig's here!" Harry yelled as he spotted Hedwig fly into the room. She had a few letters in her talons. She dropped the letters next to Harry's plate. Harry opened one. It was from Professor McGonagall.
Mr. Potter-
Sorry to interrupt your time home but Madam Hooch set up the next Quidditch match. It's between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Upon Madam Hooch's decision, the match will be next weekend. I tried to get her to push back the date but she couldn't. Sorry for the inconvenience. I've already informed the part of the team that is here at school. I ask you to tell Miss Strone. If you'd like, I'll set up practices although I think it would be best for you to be there.
- Professor McGonagall
Harry handed the note to Ashley as grabbed the other letter. It was addressed to Hermione. He handed her the note.
"We have a game this weekend?" Ashley asked.
"Of what?" Dean asked. He barely knew anything about Hogwarts.
"Quidditch," Harry answered as he took back the letter and wrote a response on the bottom.
"You all play Quidditch?" Dean asked.
"Yea, except Jake," Matt answered. "Harry and Ashley play on the school team."
"I've never played Quidditch," Dean commented. "I've heard of it but I never played."
"It's fun," Sirius said.
"What positions do you play?" Dean asked Harry and Ashley.
"I play keeper and Harry plays seeker," Ashley responded.
"It seems as if the minister is planning to make the parents go back to their homes," Hermione said looking at the letter.
"Why?" Harry asked surprised.
"My parents wrote to say that they were going back home," Hermione answered. "They said that many parents are going back because they can't stay out of work this long. Even the wizard families have to leave because the minister is starting to make businesses fire those who are out at Hogwarts."
"That's ridiculous!" Matt exclaimed.
"That's the minister," Remus commented. "Never can admit he's wrong."
"Now what do we do?" Caroline asked. "We were sent to Hogwarts to protect people and the parents were sent there so they would be protected."
"We can't possibly protect everyone!" Liz exclaimed.
"We're going to stay at Hogwarts," Stacy said. "That's were we were sent. If we have to leave the school, we will but Hogwarts is where we need to be."
"Especially if Voldermort is after me and thinks I'm still at the school," Harry said quietly.
"This just keeps on getting better and better," Jake said dryly.
"It doesn't matter where you are Wolf," Ashley said. "He's after all of us now."
"You just need to all stick together," Stacy said. She stood and faced Dean. "Come on Dean, we need to continue your training. As you can see by the recent events, we need to keep working hard." She led him out of the room.
"What do you want to do now?" Jake asked.
"I think I'm going to go back to my room and study for the O.W.L. 's," Hermione said.
"Me too," Ashley said. "Wolf, want to join me?" Harry nodded.
"Hey Ron," Jake said. "Up to a game of chess?" Ron nodded. He and Jake left the room.
"This has been a crazy day," Sirius commented as he rubbed his eyes.
"Indeed it has been, Padfoot," Remus said yawning.
"I'm going to swim for awhile," Matt announced. He bid them good night before heading out of the room.
"Ready to go?" Ashley asked.
"Where are we going first?" Harry asked.
"Want to go to the library and take a few books and head to my room?" she suggested. Harry shrugged and nodded as they said their good byes and headed out to the library. Hermione had left with them but instead of going to the library, she went to her room.
"What are we studying tonight?" Harry asked as they walked into the library. The library was so quiet that they heard a quiet trickle of water on the windows. "Is it raining?"
"I think so. We're suppose to get storms tonight I think," Ashley responded. She walked down one of the millions of isles. Harry walked down a different one and looked at the titles. All the books looked new no matter how old they were. They all had charms on them that made them update with new information.
"I think we sound start with the dark arts and creatures," Ashley said. "That might be a big part of the test. It could help us now anyway." Harry searched the titles while picking up a few books. He returned to the table when his arms were full. He put the books on one of the tables before heading back to the isle as he picked up a few more.
"Do you think this is enough?" Harry asked as he returned to the table. Ashley's head poked around a corner.
"Yea. I have some here also." She walked over with a few as well.
"Now to get them to your room," Harry commented.
"I'm not carrying them. We'll use magic," Ashley said setting her books down.
"I can teleport them," Harry suggested. Ashley nodded. He took her hand to her surprise. They're vision suddenly went blurry as they felt as if they were cut into a million pieces and put back together in Ashley's room. The books landed right next to them on the cloud floor.
"I thought you were just going to teleport the books!" Ashley exclaimed.
"I thought this would be quicker," Harry responded shrugging. Ashley took a few books and dumped them on her queen-sized bed. Harry grabbed the last few and added them to the bed. They both laid on the bed as they started flipping through the books and reading.
Harry opened a book on Dementors. He started reading about where they originated from and they're purpose in life. There was also passages of what they do. Several stories were on them helping the dark side.
"Hey look!" Ashley exclaimed. She showed him a page in her book. The title was, * Harry Potter: The Boy-Who-Lived. * "I know that you're him and all but you don't meet the description. You must be someone trying to pose as him!" Ashley exclaimed laughing. Harry made his hair change and his scar reappear. He kept his eyesight. He loved not wearing glasses. "Much better," she commented before going back to the book.
They continued reading for a few hours. Most of the books had been read or flipped through. Harry felt his eyes drooping. He rubbed them as he continued reading about Death Eaters until he heard a scream and a crack of lightning. He looked up. It seemed to come from the hallway. He was about to ask Ashley if she heard it but she was asleep with her head on her arms. He stood and headed toward the door. He opened it and looked out. Nothing was out of the ordinary. The hallways were dark. Harry closed the door. Looking at a clock, he yawned when he saw the time. It was midnight. Harry gathered up a few books before waking Ashley and telling her that he was leaving. He finally left the room and headed to his own. Placing the books on the desk, he changed and got into bed. He instantly fell asleep to the soft sound of water dripping down his window.
*************************************************
"What information do you have?" Voldermort asked. Harry looked around at his surroundings. He was in a room of some sort. It was very dark. Harry could hear the storm outside.
"They're are many of them and today they have gathered another," a death eater answered. It was Lucius Malfoy.
"Why did you let them gather another?" Voldermort yelled in fury. His red eyes glowed in the dark, damp room.
"They were too powerful," Lucius said. His voice was shaking. "I grabbed one of the girls but they had magic like no other wizard. It was nothing I've ever seen before."
'Of course it isn't!" Voldermort yelled. Harry looked at him in fear as he stepped back until he hit a wall. Water was dripping down the wall. Well, Harry hoped it was water. He felt pain in his forehead.
"I want you to go to where they live and separate them once and for all. I know Potter is with them."
"But, master, Potter wasn't with them today," another death eater said.
"I'm sure he was. There are seven now. Seven little kids that can do absolutely nothing!"
"We're sure Potter wasn't there."
"Then next time look harder. Things aren't so obvious in the beginning. We'll attack in a few days time. Since they were able to retrieve that boy, They can't possibly be at Hogwarts. It would be a perfect opportunity to show Dumbledore once and for all who's the most powerful of all!" he yelled into the night sky. As he yelled, lightning formed around the room. It bounced off walls and flew around the room. The death eaters laughed as well.
****************************************
Harry sat straight up in bed. He was breathing heavily. His forehead hurt. Reaching up with his hand, Harry went to rub his forehead. His eyes went wide when he felt his scar. Before, he forgot to change back. He forgot to get rid of his scar and his hair was still black. Harry made the proper adjustments and felt his headache go instantly away. He heard a hoot from a perch. Hedwig looked back at him with her head to one side.
"I'm fine Hedwig," Harry said. Hedwig moved her head to the other side. "I'm fine. I'm positive." Hedwig's took his answer before shifting her feathers around to go back to sleep. Harry stayed awake thinking. This was the first time he had a nightmare in a long time.
"Maybe I only get nightmares when I have my scar," he thought out loud. He then tried to remember what happened. He got up to write to Dumbledore about the possible attack before seeing the weather outside. He decided to send the letter when the weather was better. Instead, Harry changed and put on some warm robes before heading down to the library. He remembered lightning going around the room and he wanted to find out why.
He silently made his way down the hallways and stairs to the dark library. He looked around the shelves until he found, "Elementals and who belongs to them". He sat down at a table and started reading.
**They're are many elements in the world and many can be controlled. They can be controlled by a human being. This human being has full power over the element and can do as he or she pleases. These people are called elementals. Elementals are extremely powerful although it takes much training to get full control over an element.
Some elements are the main things on Earth such as fire, water, wind/air, ice, lightning, and the Earth its self. Other rare elements that are rarely seen are elements of time, mind, crystal, poison, lightness and darkness, and life. Others are said to have elements of the soul. Some people are said to have the element of song while others are thinking that something such as glass could be an element but others think it is confused with the crystal element.
Each element has their own set of abilities.
Fire: make fire, heat, and fireballs
Water: make waves, tsunamis, water balls, fog, and has the ability to breathe under water.
Wind/Air: make wind, forms clouds, windstorms, and rain/
Ice: make ice, blizzards, snow, ice balls, and coldness.
Earth: reshape the ground, grow plants, pick up pieces of the ground, causes volcanoes, mudslides, earthquakes, and others. Time: stop time, make time pass quickly or slow it down, pass through time, has premonitions.
Mind: slight premonitions, telepathy, empathy, telekinesis, teleporting, flying, giving others visions, and mind control.
Crystal: crystallize spells to make them stronger, and makes crystals.
Poison: create poison, give someone poisoning, and remove poison.
Lightness/Darkness: changes light amount, helps impair vision, and can change around day and night.
Life: heals wounds of weapons and magic, and can save people from certain death.
Soul: a bit of every element.
Song: the powers to make things do as the person pleases by singing tunes, can stop spells, and cast spells with the voice.
Glass: most likely confused with crystal as they share they same powers.
Many abilities are yet to be uncovered as time goes on. What is available now is only a beginning of what elementals are capable of doing.
There has been a question on whether or not elementals can fall into the hands of evil. The answer is that they certainly can. Although elements aren't hereditary, they can find themselves in a person of evil. In the past, many deadly events were caused by elementals from the dark side. Elements can only be in one person at a time and in order for someone else to be given the element, the original person must die. Many wonder if having and element to control is a bad thing or a good thing but it only has to be good if they fight for the light side. . . . *
Harry read a few more pages until falling asleep with his head on the book.

Harry awoke an hour later. Opening his eyes, he saw that he was alone on the couch. He slightly sat up and saw Jake and Ron playing a game of chess on one of the other couches. Matt was watching the game. Harry laid back down and moaned as he stretched.
"Number two's up," he heard Jake say. Harry stopped stretching and closed his eyes.
"Number two is going back to sleep," he mumbled as he moved until he was comfortable.
"Number two is going to get up because the all mighty leader has a new mission," Jake said back from his game.
"Number two is going back to sleep as he tries to save himself from danger."
"Number two needs to help find a new shapeshifter," Jake said.
Harry's eyes snapped open. "What?" he asked surprised as he sat up quickly.
"Stacy said something about a new member," Matt said looking away from the game.
"Not another trip to get us killed!" Harry yelled as he fell back on the couch.
"Well we all have to go," Matt said. "Stacy didn't tell us much about this person but I think we need to find them today."
"Why do we have to find them?" he asked. "Isn't Stacy suppose to do that?"
"No, not really," Matt said.
"She needs to stay here," Ron said as he moved his rook. "She's teaching Hermione and I today so you can go find this person."
"Come on," Matt said walking over to Harry and grabbing his arm. "The sooner we get out, the sooner we can get home." Harry stood and stretched as he waited for Jake and Ron to finish they're game. Ron was going to head to his room to get together the things needed for his studies as Jake, Matt, and Harry headed down to Stacy's office.
"Are you sure it's here?" Harry asked as they reached the office door.
"Positive," Jake answered as he knocked.
"Come in," they heard Stacy yell through the door. They opened it to find Caroline, Liz and Ashley already there.
"Finally!" Caroline exclaimed. "Now we can finally find out about this person. We've been trying to get information out of Stacy but she won't budge!"
"We'll now she can budge," Jake replied as he sat next to her. Matt and Harry took their seats. Stacy stood and began the meeting.
"I suppose you all know that we have new information on a new member. Today, I want you to find this new shapeshifter." She looked down at a piece of paper on her desk. "His name is Dean Portman. He lives not too far from here."
"He'll be easy to find," Liz remarked.
"That's what you think," Stacy said smiling. "He lives on David's street."
"In the muggle world?" Ashley asked. Stacy nodded. Harry glared out the window. David's street, why did it sound so familiar? Harry heard of it someplace before. Or he might've seen it. Harry suddenly remembered.
"But that's impossible," Harry thought aloud. "There's only one building on that street that's capable of housing people. It's not possible."
"It is Harry," Stacy said sadly. There was a small pause.
"What's impossible?" Liz asked.
"The only place on David's street to live is the David Cray Orphanage," Harry answered.
"He lives in an orphanage in the muggle world?" Matt asked puzzled. "But that would mean that he doesn't know anything about magic, about our world."
"So much for a small job," Jake mumbled quietly.
"Harry knows where the place is. You need to get Dean out of there," Stacy said sitting down at her desk. "There are reports that he knows magic."
"Witch nurses," Ashley mumbled. Everyone glared at her.
"What?" Matt asked.
"Witch and wizard nurses work in the muggle world just incase they need to tend to a patient that's not exactly a muggle. They're must be a witch or wizard that's working at the orphanage that keeps their eye on the kids there. One of them must've taught this Dean guy."
"Exactly," Stacy answered.
"Then why didn't they move him to a magic orphanage?" Jake asked.
"They tried but they couldn't move him without leaving behind a record on where he went and why," Stacy answered. She searched around on her desk for something. She held up a piece of paper that she read off of. "This is all the information I have on him. He lived his first five years in the muggle world when his father was arrested. He was charged for a murder that was staged."
"He didn't do it then," Harry said quietly thinking of Sirius.
Stacy shook her head. "Four years later, when he was nine, his mother died of cancer. He now lives in an orphanage."
"So both of his parents died?" Caroline asked. Everyone in the room was quiet.
"Both by the time he was nine," Stacy said. She picked up another piece of parchment and handed it to Jake. "This has his picture as well as his hair and eye color."
"How old is he?" Liz asked.
"About the same age as you. He's about the same age as Caroline and Jake if you look at it in months," Stacy answered.
"He's a shapeshifter?" Ashley asked. Stacy nodded. "Will he be an elemental as well?"
"It's a good possibility. You all are elementals so it's certain that he will be as well."
"How many elementals are there?" Harry asked.
"There's so many that I can't even count," she answered. Everyone stared at her. They only held six. Stacy would be number seven and Dean is number eight.
"Are all elementals good?" Harry thought out loud nervously.
"There are bad elementals. I just hope that we have the most powerful on our side. Many are good."
"Bad elementals," Matt repeated softly. "This will be a nightmare. Let's hope none of us duel with one until we fully have our powers."
"I couldn't agree with you more," Jake said.
"Shall we get going?" Liz asked standing up.
"Yea, I guess so," Jake said standing. They all stood and were about to leave when Ashley stopped and asked a question.
"Do you know what element he will be?"
"I have some suspicions," Stacy answered. "We'll just have to wait and see." They left the office without another word. They headed to the forest to be transported to the center.
"What color hair does he have?" Caroline asked glancing at the black and white photo in Jake's hands.
"Black I think," Jake said reading. "He has black eyes as well."
"Black eyes?" Matt asked. "That's different." They reached the forest and in no time found themselves in the abandoned classroom.
"Imagine if someone walks by or is in the room when we appear," Ashley remarked snickering as the exited the room. The passed a few people who gave them funny looks as they walked down the halls to the main doors and walked out into the bright sunshine.
"I should've worn sunglasses," Caroline said shielding her eyes.
"Me too," Liz said. "Where are we going?"
"This way," Harry said pointing down the block. They walked down the block looking at the people outside. Many were doing lawn work. They took a few turns down other blocks until Harry stopped them. He stopped them right in front of a large brick building with very small windows. It looked like a shabby old place. It felt horrible to call it a home. It wasn't a home. It looked like a prison.
"This is it?" Matt asked looking up at the building. Harry nodded as he slowly walked up to the front doors and into the building. Instantly he could smell mildew and dust. He sneezed as he looked around. There was a desk in front with a woman typing away at a computer while on the phone. It was a pleasure call.
"So how about the movies tonight?" she was saying to whoever was on the phone.
"How do we get by her?" Jake asked quietly. They looked around the room. Caroline had an idea.
"Wolf, see that light switch?" Harry nodded. "Can you turn off all the lights and cut the power to the whole building?" Harry thought about it.
"I don't think so but I can switch all the switches so the powers out and as they turn back on the power, I'll turn it off again." He answered.
"Why don't we just erase the memory of anyone who sees us?" Matt asked.
"Because that takes the fun out of it!" Caroline exclaimed. "Let's do this." Harry thought about the light switches and moved his hand as if to turn one off. He heard screams as all the lights went off.
"Well it worked," Ashley remarked as they quickly walked down one of the halls and up a few flights of stairs to find a hall that had a sign saying 15 year olds. They followed it for awhile. They looked at the names on the doors of the occupants but they couldn't find the name Portman.
"Where is he?" Liz asked desperately as they checked the last door on the hall.
"This is ridiculous!" Matt exclaimed as many lights flickered on.
"We need something more permanent!" Liz exclaimed. Caroline looked around until something caught her eye.
"Wolf, turn off the lights when I say," she said looking up at the ceiling. They followed her gaze and smiled. It was a shower that went of when smoke was detected. Out of a finger, a small fireball shot up and hit the little shower. The results were instant. Water fell down from all of the showers in the building. "Now Wolf!" she exclaimed. Harry turned off the lights. He and the others were soaked.
"Well this was brilliant!" Jake exclaimed sarcastically looking down at his wet clothes.
"Did you have a better idea?" Caroline asked angrily.
"I do!" Ashley yelled. "Let's move and get going before the water is turned off, the lights are turned on, and people start coming out of the rooms." They all agreed as they headed down another hallway. This hallway was for the 16-year-olds. They ran down the hallway for awhile before they found themselves tripping over the large amounts of water on the floor.
"Let's try this way! They have to be here somewhere," they heard a voice say. They turned around and saw two guys trying to run down the hallway right to them.
"Come on!" Harry yelled as he jumped to an area that they couldn't see them. It was in a small hallway to a room for one of the orphans.
"Shark, can't you do anything?" Liz asked. Matt nodded and held out his hand. He moved it in the direction of the two guys. They saw the water by them leave as they heard the two guys yelling. They looked around the corner to see a tidal wave come right down on them. The two guys got right back up. To they're surprise, the two men reached into their pockets and drew out two wands. Harry heard Jake curse silently.
"Come on!" Harry said as he pulled them into the room and slammed the door shut.
"Wands?" Ashley asked.
"They knew about him!" Liz exclaimed as she looked out through the window in the door.
"This is a nightmare!" Matt exclaimed.
"There in one of these rooms!" they heard one guy say. They were death eaters dressed in muggle clothes.
"What are we going to do?" Caroline asked.
"We'll I've been getting better with my element," Jake said as he said an incantation. A piece of the floor made a hill right at the bottom of the door. The door could no longer open.
"But what if they try to blast through?" Matt asked.
Liz jumped up in front of the door and surrounded it with a thick layer of ice. "You think that'll work?" she asked.
"Maybe," Ashley said shrugging.
"Who are you?" a voice asked. They swung around and saw a boy around they're age looking at them in surprise and amazement. Jake looked at him in confusion as he reached into his pocket and took out the picture of Dean. Jake looked at the picture then to the boy, then back again.
"Are you Dean Portman?" he asked. Everyone looked at him in shock before looking at the boy. He had black eyes and hair.
"Yea," he answered, looking at them. "Why do you want to know?"
"You know magic right?" Caroline asked. They still heard the footsteps of the two death eaters in the hallway.
Dean looked at them as if they were crazy. "Yea," he answered holding up a wand that was lying on a dresser.
"Did you ever do things like wandless magic or things that were amazing?" Ashley asked,
"Like this?" Dean asked as he walked over to a flower lying on the dresser. He picked it up and showed them the dead petals. He closed his eyes and suddenly the flower was covered in crystal. He opened his eyes to see the shapeshifters looking at his amazed with they're mouths open.
"We found our guy," Caroline remarked looking at the flower.
Harry looked around the room. It was a small room. His mind kept telling him to get out. It was too small for him. Harry hid his fear. He never told anyone except Ashley. He glanced over to her and saw that she was uncomfortable as well. She kept fidgeting. She was shaking slightly as she looked around the room.
"They have to be in one of these two rooms!" a voice yelled from the opposite side of the door. They were much closer. They sounded like they were right outside.
"We have to get out of here!" Ashley exclaimed looking at the door.
"This isn't the first time they're here," Dean replied looking at the door. He sounded so calm.
"How many times were they here?" Matt asked amazed on how calm he was.
"A few times before," he replied. Suddenly they all jumped as the door shook. They found the room.
Harry looked around the room for a way out before going to one of the windows and yanking it open. They were on the third floor.
"How are we getting out of here?" Liz asked as she ran to Harry and saw that they window wasn't going to be part of the escape route.
"I don't know," Jake said. The door was banged on more. They heard spells being thrown at the door. "Liz, watch the ice on the door. If it thins, add more ice!" Liz nodded and stood near the door.
"I have an idea," Dean said his eyes glanced to the closet. He ran to the closet and threw it open. They heard him banging on something inside.
"What are you doing?" Ashley asked watching. She then heard the sound of cracking wood before Dean came back out again.
"I think I have a way out," he announced. "We can get through the hole in the closet. It leads to the next room." Jake looked at him a second before nodding and ordering everyone through the hole. They all went through the hole one by one. It was a very small hole that indeed led to the room next door. No one was in there.
"Now where are we?" Jake asked after going through the hole. He was the last one.
"The room next to mine," Dean responded. He looked around the room. "She's not here right now." They suddenly heard the door in Dean's room smash open. Everyone looked up in alarm.
"The only way we're getting out of here was through the hallway," Ashley announced. Everyone already knew it.
'Let's make a run for it before the death eaters find us," Jake said they all ran out of the room and down the hallway careful not to pass Dean's room. While running, Matt slipped on the wet floor. Some areas were still wet but the showers were turned off.
"They're they are!" one of the death eaters cried. They nearly missed a curse thrown at them.
"I have an idea," Liz said. "Make more water on the floor, Shark." Matt made water cover the floor as Liz placed ice right under it. It was extra slippery as both death eaters slipped. The floor would only ice where the group already was. They raced down flights of stairs and were racing to the front door when someone grabbed the back of Caroline's shirt. She cried out as she was stopped. They turned to see none other than Lucius Malfoy holding Caroline back with a grin on his face.
"Found you once and for all," he sneered looking at each of them. "Too bad Potter isn't with you. Master would be pleased anyway." Harry looked at him confused. His eyes went wide as he realized what happened. Malfoy didn't recognize him. Harry smirked a little.
"Let Caroline go!" Jake ordered forcefully. Malfoy laughed.
"What makes you think that I'm going to listen to a little boy?" he asked.
Jake had enough. "Wolf," he said simply looking at Harry. Harry looked back. Jake noticed that Malfoy didn't recognize Harry so it was best not to call him by his name. The others caught on. Harry knew exactly what Jake wanted him to do. He concentrated as a large white ball of energy erupted from his fingertips. With a slight twitch, it was sent into Malfoy's chest. It hit him hard as he tumbled backwards but Harry made sure that Caroline stayed where she was. She was released and ran to join the group. She had a temper just like her element as she put the death eater on fire right before he got up. Matt had to put him out. It was best to keep him alive so they could question him.
They stood brave as Malfoy stood and faced the group in anger. His robes were smoking.
"I'll show you!" He yelled as he sent the killing curse to the first person he saw. It happened to be Dean. Harry's eyes went wide as he watched the green light go by. He went to stop it until it stopped on his own. Harry looked at the curse in amazement. It was covered in a crystal and stopped right in front of Dean's chest. Dean looked at it amazed before waving his hand over it. The crystal, as well as the curse, disappeared. "Whoa," he replied.
"Not bad for a beginner," Matt remarked. Malfoy looked angrier than ever. He shot more but none were close to any of the people.
"Give it up already!" Liz exclaimed.
"You'll never actually hit us," Caroline added.
"So we bid you good bye," Ashley added.
"But not just for tonight," Matt said.
"Or for a day," Harry said smirking.
"But for as long as we are around," Jake finished before making the floor move and kick Malfoy out through the doors. They laughed as he went flying.
"That was cool," Dean remarked. "But who are you?"
"We've got a lot of explaining to do," Liz said.
"Just let's go home first okay?" Ashley asked.
"To home it is!" Jake yelled. "And let's hope that none of the muggles saw that."
"None did, they were busy running out of the building," said a voice behind them. They turned frightened, at the sudden voice. It was the voice of an adult woman.
"Hey Echo," Dean said. The others breathed a sign of relief.
"Hey Dean," she replied. "Getting out of here at last huh?"
"Definitely," Jake replied for him. "Especially since there is a death eater waiting outside for us."
"I saw," Echo said. "That was very impressive. I was getting ready to curse him when I arrived but he was already being thrown out the door."
"You're a witch?" Ashley asked.
Echo smiled. "Who do you think taught Dean what he knows? I live here to teach the wizards and witches that come here. I take it that you are here to take Dean to the House of the Gifted?"
"That's our mission," Matt said smiling.
"What's the teacher's name?" Echo asked smirking.
"Stacy Miller," they replied at once.
"You passed," Echo said smiling. "Just had to make sure that you were who you said you were. I would ask you more but not everyone is an elemental."
"Where am I going?" Dean asked. "And again, who are you?" They didn't have much time to explain who they were when they met. They had death eaters on their tail.
"I'm Jake Malon," Jake said. They all introduced themselves and their nicknames. They were about to leave before remembered something.
"What about those other death eaters?"
"They're taken care of," Echo replied twirling her wand between her fingers. They finally left the orphanage three hours after they arrived. They brought Dean to the teen canter where they were transported to the House through the classroom, to Dean's astonishment.
"Welcome to the house of the Gifted," Jake replied after they're feet landed on the ground. Dean took a few minutes to look around before they headed inside and right to Stacy's office.
"We're home!" Jake yelled through the door.
"Don't yell!" Stacy's voice said back. They entered the room. Ron, Hermione, Sirius, and Remus were also in the room.
"Were you able to find him?" Stacy asked right when Jake put a foot into the room.
"Yea, what an adventure that was," he said under his breath.
"Do I even want to know?" she asked plainly.
"Not at all," Harry replied walking in. Dean walked in right behind him.
"Dean Portman?" Stacy asked when she saw him. He nodded slowly. "My name is Stacy Miller." She went on for awhile explaining why Dean was there. They then showed him to his crystal room and to the major areas in the house. They then ended up in the eating hall for dinner.
"How do you like the place?" Ashley asked Dean.
"I love it. It's huge!" he answered.
"What did you two do today?" Harry asked Hermione and Ron.
"We worked on some school work today," Hermione answered.
"It was boring," Ron commented.
"Professor Miller is a great teacher. It wasn't boring!" Hermione responded back.
"Hedwig's here!" Harry yelled as he spotted Hedwig fly into the room. She had a few letters in her talons. She dropped the letters next to Harry's plate. Harry opened one. It was from Professor McGonagall.
Mr. Potter-
Sorry to interrupt your time home but Madam Hooch set up the next Quidditch match. It's between Gryffindor and Ravenclaw. Upon Madam Hooch's decision, the match will be next weekend. I tried to get her to push back the date but she couldn't. Sorry for the inconvenience. I've already informed the part of the team that is here at school. I ask you to tell Miss Strone. If you'd like, I'll set up practices although I think it would be best for you to be there.
- Professor McGonagall
Harry handed the note to Ashley as grabbed the other letter. It was addressed to Hermione. He handed her the note.
"We have a game this weekend?" Ashley asked.
"Of what?" Dean asked. He barely knew anything about Hogwarts.
"Quidditch," Harry answered as he took back the letter and wrote a response on the bottom.
"You all play Quidditch?" Dean asked.
"Yea, except Jake," Matt answered. "Harry and Ashley play on the school team."
"I've never played Quidditch," Dean commented. "I've heard of it but I never played."
"It's fun," Sirius said.
"What positions do you play?" Dean asked Harry and Ashley.
"I play keeper and Harry plays seeker," Ashley responded.
"It seems as if the minister is planning to make the parents go back to their homes," Hermione said looking at the letter.
"Why?" Harry asked surprised.
"My parents wrote to say that they were going back home," Hermione answered. "They said that many parents are going back because they can't stay out of work this long. Even the wizard families have to leave because the minister is starting to make businesses fire those who are out at Hogwarts."
"That's ridiculous!" Matt exclaimed.
"That's the minister," Remus commented. "Never can admit he's wrong."
"Now what do we do?" Caroline asked. "We were sent to Hogwarts to protect people and the parents were sent there so they would be protected."
"We can't possibly protect everyone!" Liz exclaimed.
"We're going to stay at Hogwarts," Stacy said. "That's were we were sent. If we have to leave the school, we will but Hogwarts is where we need to be."
"Especially if Voldermort is after me and thinks I'm still at the school," Harry said quietly.
"This just keeps on getting better and better," Jake said dryly.
"It doesn't matter where you are Wolf," Ashley said. "He's after all of us now."
"You just need to all stick together," Stacy said. She stood and faced Dean. "Come on Dean, we need to continue your training. As you can see by the recent events, we need to keep working hard." She led him out of the room.
"What do you want to do now?" Jake asked.
"I think I'm going to go back to my room and study for the O.W.L. 's," Hermione said.
"Me too," Ashley said. "Wolf, want to join me?" Harry nodded.
"Hey Ron," Jake said. "Up to a game of chess?" Ron nodded. He and Jake left the room.
"This has been a crazy day," Sirius commented as he rubbed his eyes.
"Indeed it has been, Padfoot," Remus said yawning.
"I'm going to swim for awhile," Matt announced. He bid them good night before heading out of the room.
"Ready to go?" Ashley asked.
"Where are we going first?" Harry asked.
"Want to go to the library and take a few books and head to my room?" she suggested. Harry shrugged and nodded as they said their good byes and headed out to the library. Hermione had left with them but instead of going to the library, she went to her room.
"What are we studying tonight?" Harry asked as they walked into the library. The library was so quiet that they heard a quiet trickle of water on the windows. "Is it raining?"
"I think so. We're suppose to get storms tonight I think," Ashley responded. She walked down one of the millions of isles. Harry walked down a different one and looked at the titles. All the books looked new no matter how old they were. They all had charms on them that made them update with new information.
"I think we sound start with the dark arts and creatures," Ashley said. "That might be a big part of the test. It could help us now anyway." Harry searched the titles while picking up a few books. He returned to the table when his arms were full. He put the books on one of the tables before heading back to the isle as he picked up a few more.
"Do you think this is enough?" Harry asked as he returned to the table. Ashley's head poked around a corner.
"Yea. I have some here also." She walked over with a few as well.
"Now to get them to your room," Harry commented.
"I'm not carrying them. We'll use magic," Ashley said setting her books down.
"I can teleport them," Harry suggested. Ashley nodded. He took her hand to her surprise. They're vision suddenly went blurry as they felt as if they were cut into a million pieces and put back together in Ashley's room. The books landed right next to them on the cloud floor.
"I thought you were just going to teleport the books!" Ashley exclaimed.
"I thought this would be quicker," Harry responded shrugging. Ashley took a few books and dumped them on her queen-sized bed. Harry grabbed the last few and added them to the bed. They both laid on the bed as they started flipping through the books and reading.
Harry opened a book on Dementors. He started reading about where they originated from and they're purpose in life. There was also passages of what they do. Several stories were on them helping the dark side.
"Hey look!" Ashley exclaimed. She showed him a page in her book. The title was, * Harry Potter: The Boy-Who-Lived. * "I know that you're him and all but you don't meet the description. You must be someone trying to pose as him!" Ashley exclaimed laughing. Harry made his hair change and his scar reappear. He kept his eyesight. He loved not wearing glasses. "Much better," she commented before going back to the book.
They continued reading for a few hours. Most of the books had been read or flipped through. Harry felt his eyes drooping. He rubbed them as he continued reading about Death Eaters until he heard a scream and a crack of lightning. He looked up. It seemed to come from the hallway. He was about to ask Ashley if she heard it but she was asleep with her head on her arms. He stood and headed toward the door. He opened it and looked out. Nothing was out of the ordinary. The hallways were dark. Harry closed the door. Looking at a clock, he yawned when he saw the time. It was midnight. Harry gathered up a few books before waking Ashley and telling her that he was leaving. He finally left the room and headed to his own. Placing the books on the desk, he changed and got into bed. He instantly fell asleep to the soft sound of water dripping down his window.
*************************************************
"What information do you have?" Voldermort asked. Harry looked around at his surroundings. He was in a room of some sort. It was very dark. Harry could hear the storm outside.
"They're are many of them and today they have gathered another," a death eater answered. It was Lucius Malfoy.
"Why did you let them gather another?" Voldermort yelled in fury. His red eyes glowed in the dark, damp room.
"They were too powerful," Lucius said. His voice was shaking. "I grabbed one of the girls but they had magic like no other wizard. It was nothing I've ever seen before."
'Of course it isn't!" Voldermort yelled. Harry looked at him in fear as he stepped back until he hit a wall. Water was dripping down the wall. Well, Harry hoped it was water. He felt pain in his forehead.
"I want you to go to where they live and separate them once and for all. I know Potter is with them."
"But, master, Potter wasn't with them today," another death eater said.
"I'm sure he was. There are seven now. Seven little kids that can do absolutely nothing!"
"We're sure Potter wasn't there."
"Then next time look harder. Things aren't so obvious in the beginning. We'll attack in a few days time. Since they were able to retrieve that boy, They can't possibly be at Hogwarts. It would be a perfect opportunity to show Dumbledore once and for all who's the most powerful of all!" he yelled into the night sky. As he yelled, lightning formed around the room. It bounced off walls and flew around the room. The death eaters laughed as well.

Harry sat straight up in bed. He was breathing heavily. His forehead hurt. Reaching up with his hand, Harry went to rub his forehead. His eyes went wide when he felt his scar. Before, he forgot to change back. He forgot to get rid of his scar and his hair was still black. Harry made the proper adjustments and felt his headache go instantly away. He heard a hoot from a perch. Hedwig looked back at him with her head to one side.
"I'm fine Hedwig," Harry said. Hedwig moved her head to the other side. "I'm fine. I'm positive." Hedwig's took his answer before shifting her feathers around to go back to sleep. Harry stayed awake thinking. This was the first time he had a nightmare in a long time.
"Maybe I only get nightmares when I have my scar," he thought out loud. He then tried to remember what happened. He got up to write to Dumbledore about the possible attack before seeing the weather outside. He decided to send the letter when the weather was better. Instead, Harry changed and put on some warm robes before heading down to the library. He remembered lightning going around the room and he wanted to find out why.
He silently made his way down the hallways and stairs to the dark library. He looked around the shelves until he found, "Elementals and who belongs to them". He sat down at a table and started reading.
**They're are many elements in the world and many can be controlled. They can be controlled by a human being. This human being has full power over the element and can do as he or she pleases. These people are called elementals. Elementals are extremely powerful although it takes much training to get full control over an element.
Some elements are the main things on Earth such as fire, water, wind/air, ice, lightning, and the Earth its self. Other rare elements that are rarely seen are elements of time, mind, crystal, poison, lightness and darkness, and life. Others are said to have elements of the soul. Some people are said to have the element of song while others are thinking that something such as glass could be an element but others think it is confused with the crystal element.
Each element has their own set of abilities.
Fire: make fire, heat, and fireballs
Water: make waves, tsunamis, water balls, fog, and has the ability to breathe under water.
Wind/Air: make wind, forms clouds, windstorms, and rain/
Ice: make ice, blizzards, snow, ice balls, and coldness.
Earth: reshape the ground, grow plants, pick up pieces of the ground, causes volcanoes, mudslides, earthquakes, and others. Time: stop time, make time pass quickly or slow it down, pass through time, has premonitions.
Mind: slight premonitions, telepathy, empathy, telekinesis, teleporting, flying, giving others visions, and mind control.
Crystal: crystallize spells to make them stronger, and makes crystals.
Poison: create poison, give someone poisoning, and remove poison.
Lightness/Darkness: changes light amount, helps impair vision, and can change around day and night.
Life: heals wounds of weapons and magic, and can save people from certain death.
Soul: a bit of every element.
Song: the powers to make things do as the person pleases by singing tunes, can stop spells, and cast spells with the voice.
Glass: most likely confused with crystal as they share they same powers.
Many abilities are yet to be uncovered as time goes on. What is available now is only a beginning of what elementals are capable of doing.
There has been a question on whether or not elementals can fall into the hands of evil. The answer is that they certainly can. Although elements aren't hereditary, they can find themselves in a person of evil. In the past, many deadly events were caused by elementals from the dark side. Elements can only be in one person at a time and in order for someone else to be given the element, the original person must die. Many wonder if having and element to control is a bad thing or a good thing but it only has to be good if they fight for the light side. . . . *
Harry read a few more pages until falling asleep with his head on the book.
