Disclaimer: wouldn't be wasting time on a disclaimer if I owned it.

AN: two things, one: one more chapter till the summary is explained! I'm excited, things get real fun after then. Two thanks to all my reviewers give yourselves lots of chocolate you deserve it.

She raised her blade just in time to block the spell. Her blade hummed with stored power. Release. She obeyed the swords whispered command, and hacked her way to the young woman holding her sword in a defensive position. The woman smiled in welcome and briefly crossed swords with her, discharging the pent up power into the more absorbent blade. The battle reigned for a while more, and they emerged wounded, but victorious. Her brothers grinned shakily at her while they were being Healed in turn.

He was enjoying the fight as always. He has given in to the blade at the beginning of the fight unlike his shield-sibs he enjoyed the battle high. He thrust, parried, and stabbed with no control at all over his body. When at last the sword released him he was weak and drained. He gave Kyana a weak smile as she set to work on him. He heard her mutter, "You cocky idiot, one of these days you'll get yourself damaged beyond repair."

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

She watched in horror as the carnage raged around her. She forced herself to smile at her shield sibs as if all was well as they depleted their blades energy. Her heart clenched as she saw them grow more tired and wounded with each pass. After what seemed to be an eternity she saw Tani clean and sheath her blade signaling that that had won. She strode over to Vesten who as always, was worse off than the others. He gave her a feeble smile, typical, he's ten inches from death and he's grinning like an idiot. "You cocky idiot, one of these days you'll get yourself damaged beyond repair.", she muttered as she Healed him. She hadn't meant for him to hear her, but he still chuckled ruefully at her comment.

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

He threw his back against his brothers' after discharging his blades powers. He was growing tired, one slip could cause his or his sibs death. Gritting his teeth in annoyance he appealed to his blade, Help.

It's about time., an annoyed voice replied in his head. The blade took over with no further ado. When he was released he was drained to the core. He watched in amusement as Kyana gently rebuked Vesten. He was second on her roster. "You did well brother, there certainly is less to fix with you.", she commented to herself.

Hermione Granger, Ronald Weasley, Janet Lupin, and Harry Potter jerked awake at the exact same moment.

Hermione looked at the owl that landed in front of her. Her eyebrows shot into her hairline as she read the letter. "What's wrong?", Harry asked.

"Dumbledorr wants to see me right after breakfast about this summer.", she replied.

"We'll let Lupin know where you are.", Ron assured her.

"Thanks."

Hermione made her way to the stone gargoyle dreading what was to come. She gave the password,("pepper imps") and ascended the stair case. She knocked at Dumbledorr's door and was immediately granted entrance. "Have a seat Miss Granger.", Dumbeldorr welcomed her. He looked at her sadly and said, "I'm sorry child, but I need to know what happened to you this summer." Hermione steeled herself and began her tale. When she was done Dumbeldorr said, "You have shown much courage, Miss Granger, thank you. Your information will help the Order. I would like for you to go see Madame Pomphrey today to make sure that there is no lasting damage. If you like you can go during lunch." Hermione gratefully left the room for what was left of DADA. When she got to DADA she sat down between Harry and Ron.

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

Dumbeldorr sighed as he leaned back in his chair. Why are the young the first to be hurt? His silent query was answered only by Fawkes' mournful trill. He wasn't given much time to brood however before a barn owl flew into the office through the open window. Dumbeldorr's blood ran cold as he read the letter.

Albus Dumbeldorr,

The four have decided to Choose again. In two weeks time we will arrive at your school for the Choosing. As per usual we will ask for the students when we arrive.
