~*~ yay! here ya go! chapter 4. now we find out who Phai is! ~*~
Recap: "You guys wanna meet Phai? She's part of our gang."
"I read about gangs. You do things like drugs and steal things," Pansy said, obviously proud of herself.
"Not that kind of gang. Gang as in group of friends, like you guys are in."
"Not with each other!" the Gryffindors and Slytherins shouted, separated themselves from the other House.
"Whatever. Let's go. It's just next door."
*****************************************************************
They left the house and walked over to the next house, a bigger mansion. They entered a huge garage filled with cars and motorcycles and parts. Someone was working under a blue sports car.
"Hey, Phai," Kelly and Melanie said, walking over to the person. They could hear the person wheel themselves out from under the car.
"Did you know Phai was a boys' name?" Ron asked Harry, quietly.
"I didn't even know Phai was a name," Harry answered.
"What do you think he's like?" Ron asked.
"I think you mean 'she'," said a voice. Phai turned out to be a pretty Asian girl. Her straight black hair was pulled back in a ponytail, strands of it framing her face nicely, and she had deep brown eyes. She wore a white tank top under overalls and she was covered in oil smudges. She was wiping her hand with a rag. Her right cartilage was pierced with a simple, tiny, silver ring. A midnight blue sapphire hung on a silver chain around her neck and she wore a woven silver armlet on her right upper arm. "These the Hogwarts guys?"
"Yeah. The brunette's our cousin," Melanie said.
"Hey. My name's Phailin, but everyone calls me Phai."
The students greeted her.
"Well, finally a girl worthy of my presence. The name's Malfoy. Draco Malfoy," the Slytherin said, smirking. "Did it hurt when . . .?"
"When I fell from heaven? Heard it. And, when you get to know me . . . you'll learn that I never came from heaven," Phailin replied bored.
"Witty. I like that."
"Self-absorbed. I hate that."
"And feisty. What a bonus," Malfoy said, still smirking broadly.
Phailin ignored his last comment. "What'd you say your name was, again?"
"Draco Malfoy."
"And the others?"
"Hermione, our cousin, Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Pansy Parkinson, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle," Melanie stated.
"But, they like to be referred to as 'Crabbe' and 'Goyle'," Malfoy added.
"Crabbe? Goyle? What kind of loser names are those?"
The two thugs cracked their knuckles menacingly.
"What you think you can take me?" Phailin asked. She tossed the rag and took a step forward.
"Phai, don't," pleaded Melanie.
Kelly seemed to get ready to hold Phailin back.
Phailin rolled her eyes and furiously got back to work. "So, did you tell them?"
"Tell us what?" Hermione asked.
"I'll take that as a 'no'."
"Well, Phailin isn't a normal witch," Melanie started.
Kelly took a deep breath. "There once was a Guardian Spirit who protected everyone. But as she grew older, she grew more tired and weaker. But she needed to keep watching everyone. So, she decided to let her spirit dwell within a person. Someone worthy and perfect enough to protect everyone. She needed someone kind but fierce, smart, strong, and everything everyone aspired to be. And Phai was that person."
"You expect us to believe that?" Malfoy asked.
"It's true," Phailin said, from underneath the car. "The Guardian had great power, and she gave it to me to protect people."
"I want proof."
Phailin let out a sigh. "Always with the proof. They just gotta have the proof," she muttered. "Alright, everyone go up to the gym. I'll meet you there."
Everyone apparated to the gym and waited. A minute later, Phailin appeared clean of smudges wearing black sports pants with white stripes along the sides and a black tank top. A huge punching bag appeared in the center of the room.
"A test of my strength," Phailin explained.
She went up to the bag and calmly started beating the crap out of the bag. She gave it one last kick before it came of the hook and fell in a heap a foot away from the group. The Hogwarts students looked in wide-eyed horror from the bag to Phailin, who stood calmly without a sweat.
"Now, a test of my power."
She raised her hand levelly with the bag and the stuffing went back into the bag and the bag mended its rips without a scratch. Then, it rose all by itself and placed itself back on the hook.
"A normal witch or wizard would have a wand and a spell for that. Right, Hermione?"
"Y-yes."
"I figured I should ask you. Your cousins told me a lot about you. They said you were really smart."
Hermione blushed.
"One more piece of proof that you can't deny."
Beautiful wings with black-tipped white feathers sprouted from her back. She flapped her wings gently, letting herself hover a couple of feet above the ground. Then she landed back down safely and the wings disappeared.
"Did that satisfy you lack of faith, Draco?"
"Yes," Malfoy said reluctantly.
"Well you guys better go. School tomorrow. Your school supplies are in your room," Phailin said. "I picked what you would have picked."
"How did you know?" Hermione asked.
Phailin gave her a look.
"Oh, the power."
"Alright, see you guys later," Phailin said as the group said their good- byes and left to get ready for the day ahead of them.
