A/N: Hello again, I have good news for you and also some bad news. First good news, Chapter 15 is now up, and it is very long. Bad news because of me writing the chapters to be longer it takes me more time to type them and hence I have just started on chapter 16. So as always please read and review. Also I have been asked what is a Fayth? So I think that there might be more than one person who is wondering what they are. Very simply they are the Summons, at least in the games. They are sort of in charge of what goes on in the world. In my story they play as sort of like angels. Until they go to earth later. Hope this answers any questions but don't worry about asking them. I will gladly answer as many as I can. Also for those who are anonymous reviewers and would like to know when I am going to update, just email me your email and I will email you when I do. For thanks see bottom now on with the story. Also wanted to add that in a recent interview with JK Rowling herself she said that there were only 12 possible O.W.L.s so that is the scale that I used.
Chapter Fifteen: The End of Summer
Dear Mr. Harry Potter,
Congratulations on completing your O.W.L. year at Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Below are your results. They are broken down into theory and practical where applicable. Your grade is the combined two. Practical added more points then theory. You had the possibility of getting 9 O.W.L.s you received an amazing 7 out of 9. 5 of them being outstanding and the other 2 being exceeds expectations. Below are the results broken down by class. Please see the note at the bottom about Defense Against the Dark Arts (DADA). Once again congratulations Mr. Potter.
Charms: Theory; O, Practical; O Result: Outstanding.
Potions: Theory; E Practical; O Result: Outstanding.
Care of Magical Creatures: Theory; O Practical; O Result: Outstanding.
DADA: Theory; O Practical* O Result: Outstanding.
Herbology: Theory; O Practical; E Result: Outstanding.
Transfiguration: Theory; E Practical; E Result: Exceeds Expectations.
Astronomy: Theory; E Practical; A Result: Exceeds Expectations (We made exceptions for the practical because of the attack on Professor McGonagall)
History of Magic: Theory; A Result: Pass however no O.W.L.
Divination: Theory; T Practical; T Result: Fail.
*As a result of your outstanding Practical work in DADA we are putting a recommendation to Hogwarts that you be allowed to teach the class. We heard of your DA club that you set up and every member except for one received an outstanding on their O.W.L.s or their N.E.W.T.'s. Please contact Professor Dumbledore about this and good luck in the upcoming year.
Sincerely yours,
Miranda Shawshank
Department of Magical Education
Ministry of Magic
"Oh, man, no way I got 7 O.W.L.s out of a possible 9, that's crazy. And look potions, I passed potion with an outstanding. Snape is going to freak when he sees me in his class again."
"What? Are you nuts? You are going to whiling take Snape and Potions next year?" Ron asked.
"Yeah, I want to be an Auror I think."
"Oh, well that makes sense. Sorry I won't be going with you. I got an acceptable and I wanted to be an auror but the more I thought about it the more I didn't like the idea."
"Well that is cool, so what are you planning to do for a career?"
"Well either work in the ministry like my dad or work with my brothers if they will let me. I haven't really decided yet."
"So how many O.W.L.s did you get?"
"I got 6, 3 of them were outstanding and 3 were exceeds expectations."
They compared their results and they had done pretty much the same except Ron got an E in History of Magic and an E in charm theory and DADA theory. He got an O in practical Charms and DADA. He also failed Divination and got two E's in transfiguration. He got one E in Potions and Astronomy theory. And he got tow O's in Care of Magical Creatures. They were done comparing and finally noticed that Hermione was really quiet.
"Hey Mione what's up? How did you do?"
"I did..."
"Oh come on what? You know that you got all O's"
"That's just it, I didn't."
"What!" Ron yelled. "Let me see that."
Ron ripped the letter out of her hands and started to read.
"What the!!" He yelled.
"What?" Harry asked.
"She got out of 11 possible she got 11 O.W.L.s."
"Well there is a surprise, but why are you so upset Mione?"
"Cause she got three E's."
"That's it?"
"Yeah, Harry she got O's in all of the rest."
"That awesome Mione, but out of curiosity what did you get E's in?"
"Well I got an E in Astronomy practical but I don't think anyone did that well. And I got an E in practical in Arthimacy. But then I got an E on the practical in Potions! Snape doesn't allow people into his N.E.W.T.'s class if they didn't get an O in their practical."
"Oh yeah, well do you need potions for your future career?"
"Well no but.."
"What's the problem then?" Ron asked.
"Oh Ron you just don't understand. This will greatly diminish my chances of Head Girl."
"Are you sure? I mean you passed every single O.W.L. that you took."
"Hold on, I got an idea, you are already a prefect and Professor Dumbledore trusts you so why don't you ask him to talk to Snape if you really want to take potions."
"Yeah, that might work. I will just have to talk to him later in the summer."
And so it was settled Hermione would talk to Professor Dumbledore and see if she could get into potions. They sat down to lunch and Mrs. Weasley was hoping around with excitement for their O.W.L. results. They all ate their lunch then decided to retire to their respective homes and get settled in. Hermione and Ron left along with Mrs. Weasley promising to come by later. Harry was left alone with his thoughts and feelings. He didn't tell them about the teaching position that he was offered. He would talk to Dumbledore about it later. He really didn't think he would accept but no harm came from talking. As it was, Harry had yet to explore the PotBlack Manor so he decided that he would do that now and then work out later. He also wanted to practice some of the things he had learned form Tidus. Harry walked around the PotBlack Manor looking at pictures and family trees that were on the wall. The mansion was laid out in the same manor as the BlackPot mansion with some major differences. There was no library but an astronomy tower to closely study the stars. Instead of the forest there was an enormous Quidditch pitch complete with training programs for every position. Harry also found many hidden passages that would lead to various rooms that had some beds and the occasional chest or truck full of secretive possessions. Harry spent the rest of the afternoon exploring through his parents belongings and attempting to learn more about them. He also found a muggle workout room with free weights and other numerous workout machines. Harry then found the master bedroom that his parents slept in and Harry had to hold back tears as he saw numerous photographs of their wedding day, the day that Harry was born, and pictures of their days at Hogwarts. Harry sat there in a chair in front of the fireplace looking through books of pictures, well into the night. Dobby appeared as quietly as he could and spoke to Harry.
"Harry Potter sir?"
"Yes Dobby?"
"Dobby is wondering if you would like something to eat? Your friends came by earlier but Dobby tell them that Harry Potter is visiting his parents memories. They felt that you would appreciate the time alone."
"Thank you Dobby, you are correct I did need the time alone but I am hungry. Tell you what I am going to go workout and then eat. So do you think that maybe you could have something in about an hour?"
"Of course sir, we will fix something up in a jiffy. What would Harry Potter like to eat?"
"Ummm Oh I forgot that I would have to pick something to eat. I used to eating what the Dursleys told me to eat. Tell you what can you surprise me?"
"Of course Harry Potter sir. Dobby also understands and feels bad for what Dobby did to Harry Potter before his second year. But Harry Potter showed how great he truly is but thwarting He-who-must-not-be-named plans, and by saving Dobby. Dobby is always in your debt Harry Potter sir."
"Dobby you don't owe me a thing. Just being a friend and not punishing yourself is all I will ask of you."
"Harry Potter truly is a great and powerful wizard. We will go make your dinner now, enjoy your workout."
And with that Dobby disappeared leaving Harry with a smirk on his face.
"That is one crazy houself." He chuckled.
Harry then went to the workout room and went through his drills. He got a good workout and headed to the kitchen for some dinner. When he arrived he saw a plate full of fat noodles covered in a creamy white sauce with cooked shrimp mixed in. On the side was some garlic bread and to wash it down a nice cold butterbeer. Dobby was standing next to the table jumping up and down like a nutcase.
"Looks good Dobby, what is it?"
"Oh Harry Potter sir is in for a treat. This is Dobby's personal favorite, it is called Shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo. The sauce is Alfredo sauce and you can substitute the shrimp for chicken or have it plain."
"Alright, well can't wait."
Harry sat down and took a bite, he scrunched up his face in disgust.
"Oh no! Harry Potter sir doesn't like it. Oh no no."
"Dobby relax, I was only joking with you. I love it, it is really good." Harry was laughing as he spoke.
"Harry Potter is not very funny."
"Ha, sorry Dobby."
So Harry and Dobby ate and they talked about nothing of importance. Harry was wondering as he went back to the Black Pot mansion to sleep whether or not he could blend the tow parts together so it would be one. He would have to ask Zidane about that later.
The next day Harry awoke and found Zidane he asked him if the mansions could be made into one. Surprisingly he said yes and the know how was in the library. Harry searched the library until he found the Potter Black book on the mansions. It basically said that originally the mansion was built for the two families as one, but they later added the split for privacy. There was an easy enchantment that had to be said outside or it could seriously hurt.
"Okay sounds easy enough for me, Zidane?" He called.
"Yes sir?"
"I need all the houselves to come outside with me so I can change the insides."
"No problem sir, just give us about 5 minutes."
So Harry went outside and waited. He had yet to venture outside and what a sight to behold. He looked back at the enormous mansion, it seemed to loom down at him. It had many towers and levels that apparently Harry had yet to discover. In front and surrounding the mansion was an enormous luscious green lawn complete with a garage and gravel driveway lined by torches. In front of the garage was a sleek black motorcycle. It looked very much like the motorcycle that had haunted his dreams when he was young. He didn't know it was his godfather's bike until third year and it looked like it was brand new. He would have to talk to Lupin about learning how to drive it. At the end of the driveway stood two tall black gates with the Potter and Black family crest on it. Harry was in silent awe, there were trees lining the whole property and off to the side was a small lake that was crystal clear. It was a magnificent sight to behold. Within five minutes all of the houselves were outside and the fireplace closed. Harry didn't want any accidents so he waited a few minutes just in case, then he started. This needed to be perfect or the house would more than likely implode and that would not a good thing. It was a simple chant but had to be said at various places on the property. The first being right at the front doors which Harry did, then he moved to the west side, the south side, the east, and then back to the north. From there he was supposed to walk in a straight line to the gates and say "Finite Transforma" Harry did that and the mansion took a leap into the air and settled down looking bigger and more majestic than before. Also the gates changed to have Harry's symbol encased in a new family crest which guarded over the gates.
"Well Dobby, what do you say we go check this out and see if it worked."
"Yes sir, Dobby is thinking that it did work, you did everything you were supposed to."
Harry and Dobby walked back inside with the house elves following, to see the mansion the way it was originally created. Harry then spent the next few hours exploring just the lower floor. It was well into the night now and Harry decided sleep was in order.
Over the next few days Dumbledore would come by and teach Harry how to drive both a stick and an automatic. Lupin would teach Harry how to drive and fly the motorcycle. It was the day that Dumbledore was supposed to pick up Harry's new viper, and after Dumbledore had explained to Harry that the GTSR was strictly a race car that could not be driven on the road, Harry had decided on the RT/10 as his viper of choice. Harry loved cars and would probably buy some more after he graduated, but for now Harry and Ron were awaiting for his arrival. Harry had learned that his property was unplotable and that you could get into it by the gates off the street you just had to know the password. Harry and Dumbledore had set up a password and only they knew what it was so there would not be a problem for Dumbledore delivering the car. Harry was attempting to play a civil game of chess with Ron and was losing spectacularly. Ron and Hermione pretty much spent all of their time with Harry discovering new places and dungeons that were full of cool things. They even found a potions lab in the dungeons which Hermione was gushing over. Harry (though wouldn't admit it for the world) was actually looking forward to using it while on vacation so he could really sock it Snape when school started. Harry went over to the Weasley's and Grangers sometimes to explore their new homes. Ron and Harry would play Quidditch at every chance they could. Harry was teaching Hermione how to fly and she was getting better. She was now able to fly by herself which Harry was quite proud of. Then all of a sudden Harry heard a roar of an engine and he ran outside to see Dumbledore and Lupin standing next to a beautiful V10 powered white with two thick blue racing stripes running down the middle Dodge Viper RT/10.
"Oh man Harry that is a thing of beauty." Ron said.
"Thanks mate, this is my favorite American car."
"How do you know so much about cars? Especially living with the Dursleys?"
"Well my uncle tried to get my cousin into cars, you know make a man out of him. Well that didn't take and all the books and magazines were up in the second bedroom. I would read them when I got bored. They were very educational and interesting to read, especially those tuner magazines."
"What is a tuner magazine?"
"Oh they were magazines specifically for people who like to customize their cars or trucks. In Japan it is a really big scene and in America it is becoming one rather quickly. They would take a regular old car and put on all kinds of modifications that would make the car faster and look cooler. Then would race them illegally late at night."
"Oh well that makes sense, though those muggles sure are weird. Racing cars late at night? Who would have thought."
"Harry I think that we should visit your relatives tomorrow and explain the situation to them. However I suggest that you and myself go for a little test drive to see just how fast this baby can go." Dumbledore said with a smile.
"Professor are you suggesting that I speed and brake the law?"
"Of course not Harry, I am suggesting that we drive and obey any present laws. If there are no laws like the streets around your mansion then of course you can do whatever you like." He replied with a chuckle.
So Harry and Professor Dumbledore got inside of the car and Harry started her up. He heard an instant sound of power and revved the engine a couple of times, then sped out of the driveway. Harry threw her into 2nd then 3rd and so on until he was pushing close to the edge. Both Harry and Dumbledore were hooting and hollering as they slowed down to catch their breath from the instant speed that this car produced. Apparently since there was the motorcycle and a garage at the manor the Potters and Black picked a spot with plenty of open roads. They had a ball just driving as fast as they could. Dumbledore looked like a teenager again. Harry pulled back into the mansion and went to go to the garage. They got out(as it was a manual door) and Dumbledore spoke up.
"Now Harry I would ask that you not tell anybody about that. People might think it was weird for the Headmaster to act like a muggle teenager."
"Ha, your secret is safe with me Professor."
"Good, well I have had a blast but I must bid you goodnight. These bones are not as young as they used to be. I shall arrive tomorrow around 9 am. We should catch your Aunt and Uncle sometime around noon. Oh and I suggest wearing a muggle suit."
"Okay Professor, goodnight then."
Professor walked into the house and flooed back to Hogwarts and Harry preceded to the garage to open the door. When he did he saw something that he was not expecting. Inside was another car, except that this one was covered in a car cover. Harry carefully removed it and saw a sleek 1967 Shelby GT. 500 Mustang. He just stared at the car in all of its glory. He couldn't believe it, his parents loved cars too. He put the cover back on and moved the Viper inside next to it. The garage magically expanded to allow many cars inside. Harry decided that he would take the Mustang out for a test drive later. He then went inside and saw Ron beating Hermione in chess again. They looked up and smiled at him.
"How did it go Harry?" Ron asked.
"Oh my God it was amazing, I will take you guys out in it later, but I can only take one at a time because it is a two seater. I love it, though I have got to say my lightning bolt and Firebolt are faster."
"Cool, okay Harry moment of truth, which is better, Viper or your broomstick?"
"OH man, well for speed the broomstick for comfort the Viper, the handling was superb but I think that the broomstick gets better handling. So without a shadow of a doubt the broomstick is my favorite. I doubt there is anything in this world that will replace my broomstick. Though this car certainly comes close. Plus you can't fly with my Viper."
"Well Harry we are tired so I am going home. What time do you think that you will be home tomorrow?"
"Probably not until late but I will floo you when I get home. Sometime soon probably on Sunday I am going to check out the Potter Manor. Apparently there is some family history in the manor that will help me understand the past about King Arthur, Merlin, and Godric Gryffindor."
"Okay Harry, well I had better go home or my parents might start to worry. Be nice to your Aunt and Uncle, they are only muggles who just don't understand. Also they did sort of raise you for 11 years, so they can't be all that bad." Hermione said, matter of faculty.
"Yeah mate I gotta go to. You know mom she will freak if I am not home in a few."
So Ron flooed home and Hermione came over and gave him a quick kiss then she too flooed home, leaving Harry alone to his thoughts. He was getting pretty good at not getting lost and he spent most of his time that he was alone in the library or in Padfoot's Grounds as he had come to call the forest. His thirst for knowledge was always there so he would sit in the library reading books or down in the potions lab attempting new and complicated potions. He had finished his homework a few nights ago and was already reading through his new text books. Turns out that Dumbledore had already talked to Snape and Hermione would be joining him in Potions while Ron had signed up for Muggle Studies. Other than that they were in all the same classes except for when Harry and Ron were supposed to have Divination ( which they immediately dropped) Hermione was still taking Arthimacy and Ancient Runes. While the boys had free hours. They had gone to Diagon Alley and gotten their books and such. Mrs. Weasley also told them to look into some new dress robes. Harry had decided that he would keep the ones that he used to view the sphere except that he added a scepter like staff to this wardrobe. The staff was made of ancient wood that had numerous phoenixes flying up and around the shaft. At the top was a crystal ball that had a roaring Griffin, a flying green and white phoenix, and a small castle with a sword in a stone laying in front of the castle. Harry had the ideas and had gone to Olivanders to see if he could make it. Mr. Olivander was stunned at the request but obliged especially when he saw the idea.
"A green and white phoenix Mr. Potter? You do know of the significance of this bird do you not?"
"Yes sir, once rumored to be the phoenix of Merlin but later decided that no such phoenix existed."
"Indeed, however I know of a different story that I will not repeat unless circumstance come to play later."
As he was talking, Hope decided it would be a good time to show herself. She had been disguising herself and would always rest on Harry's shoulder. She was very loyal and proactive. Harry did not mind at all, and neither did Hedwig.
"Good Lord, is that a green and white? No it can't be, no way you would have had to receive a different wand, are you?"
"Relax sir, I will tell you this in great faith that it will not be repeated."
"I will oblivate myself afterwards Mr. Potter."
"Good, I am indeed the Heir of Merlin and of Godric Gryffindor, the sword in the stone comes from my other ancestor."
"King Arthur?"
"Yes King Arthur, how did you know? Just about everybody believes him to be a simple muggle."
"Well let's just say that I know differently."
"Oh, well do you think that you can create the staff for me?"
"OH yes especially with who you are, though I warn you, you will be able to do magic with this staff because the only wood that will work for this staff is the same wood that I used in Merlin's wand."
Mr. Olivander obviously did not know how that simple statement would affect Harry because Mr. Olivander was then saying "Ennervate" to awaken Harry.
"Sorry about that, but are you really that old?"
"Well yes, you did see the sign out front. It says maker of fine wands since 549 BC"
And that was how the conversation ended. Mr. Olivander happily made the staff and then immediately oblivated himself so he could not be used for information. Harry loved the staff and would take special care of it.
He was now reading his potions textbook and trying some of the potions. He recognized most of them from his training with Tidus. He was hoping that, that git of a Professor would try and prove to the class that Harry cheated on his test to get in, and try and make a fool out of him like he did in his first year. Harry would be ready for him this year. He was even reading advanced books that he had found in the library. He knew Snape well and would be prepared for anything.
The next day at nine Harry and Dumbledore left to go to the Dursleys. They arrived around lunch time and Harry saw the station wagon in the driveway. He pulled the Viper into the driveway and couldn't help but smirk when he saw Aunt Petunia looking at the car from the nearby window. Harry and Albus walked to the front door and rang the bell. He only had to wait about a millisecond when the door flung open.
"Good afternoon kind sirs. How can I help you?" He asked nicely.
"Mr. Vernon Dursley I presume?" Harry asked.
"Yes sir, that is I."
"We were wondering if we could have a word with you inside." Albus said.
"Of course, of course, please come in, and may I add that you have a lovely car there."
"Well thank you."
"So what can I be of service to you both?"
"Well we have come to talk to you about your nephew."
"Oh? Which one?" Vernon started to noticeable sweat.
"If my memory serves me correct you only have one nephew." Harry replied.
"Well....well I guess you are right." He stammered out. "But I have not seen that boy in some time. What do you want with him?"
"It's not what we want with him, it's what I want with you."
"What are you talking about? You aren't Harry."
"Oh yes I am and I along with my professor here will only be taking a few minutes of your time."
At this point Aunt Petunia came walking into the sitting room.
"Vernon, dear who are our guests?"
"This man claims to be that brat Harry and this is supposed to be one of his professors."
"Oh? Professor who?"
"Professor Dumbledore ma'am" Dumbledore replied. " Harry I believe if we change back to our normal clothes and I lengthen my beard back to its original length they should believe us."
"Okay Professor."
And that is exactly what they did. In a few seconds Harry was standing there in some jeans and a sweatshirt that fit, while Albus was wearing a blue robe with gold stars and his normal long white beard.
"Well what do you want? And how did you do that? I thought you would get expelled if you did that freaky little school."
"Well in the magical world I am now an adult so I can do magic whenever I please. However we did not come here to discuss that. I wanted you to know that I will not be returning to live here again."
"Well that is a relief" Mr. Dursley said.
"However this leaves your entire family in danger. Voldemort will eventually learn of this and come after you in an attempt to hurt me emotionally. He is mistaken if he thinks that your loss would mess me up emotionally like the loss of my godfather did but he will try nonetheless."
"Therefore with your permission I would like to place a fideleous charm on you so no wizards except the secret keeper can find you or see you. Your lives will continue as normal except wizards and witches will not be able to see you." Dumbledore picked up where Harry left off. Aunt Petunia who was more familiar with the charm spoke up.
"And who will be the secret keeper?"
"That would be me?" Harry replied.
"Why you?"
"Because I will not tell anyone and should I be killed it won't matter anyway. Should Voldemort kill me then more than likely he will kill everybody including you in attempts to take over the world."
"OH! Well okay. I guess we had better go ahead and do this. But before we do Harry I have something that rightfully belongs to you." Aunt Petunia said.
"Oh, what is it?"
"It is your mother's school trunk, I got it when she was killed but I never opened it and I eventually forgot about it, until I found it last week. Let me go get it for you."
"Thank you Aunt Petunia."
"You're welcome Harry."
Aunt Petunia got the trunk for Harry and he shrunk it to fit in his pocket. Albus then left the house and Harry cast the spell. Albus came back in but he couldn't see them so he assumed that it had worked. Harry bid them farewell and actually thanked his Aunt and Uncle for taking him in when he was a child. Uncle Vernon actually stood up and shook Harry's hand. While Aunt Petunia gave him a quick hug.
"Lily would be so proud of you Harry. We are so sorry for treating you the way we did."
"Believe it or not Aunt Petunia but I do sort of understand why did you do what you did. This past two weeks I have read my parents Will and visited their vault which has been handed down to me. In it was a letter from Hogwarts. It was addressed to you."
"What??!!"
"Your mother wanted one of you to grow up the muggle way. So she kept your letter from you. She never thought nor wished that magic would come between you like it did. My mother thought it best that I choose whether or not I should tell you. I am hoping that I did the right thing."
"Thank you Harry, you truly are a great person and I can only imagine how great a wizard you are. Good luck with Voldemort, we will be praying for you."
"Thank you Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vernon, I will do my best. I might drop in from time to time if you all don't mind."
Harry and Albus then took their leave and silently drove back to Harry's home. They both were in shock at how sincere and pleasant the Dursleys had been. Harry got home and Albus flooed to Hogwarts leaving Harry alone to think. He didn't want to see anyone yet so he went to his favorite place, Padfoot's grounds, it was a place of great relaxation for Harry. He fell asleep in the grounds on many nights, and it was one of the house elves that would conjure up a pillow and a blanket for him. Harry loved the stars, he would just sit there looking at Orion and Canis Major. Sirius would always be with Harry and no matter how powerful h became Harry would always remember those who were lost in the war. He missed his godfather and would always feel sad with the thought of Cedric Diggory. He swore to avenge their deaths. Any time Harry would have these thoughts he would work out extra hard and study even harder. Harry and his friends only had about a week left in their vacation and Harry woke up one day and decided it was a good time to create the creatures that he could summon to help him in the war. Harry had yet to make it to the Potter manor but decided to go later. He went to Sirius's room where he had left the boxes. Tidus had told him what he was supposed to do and that each creature would be a master of a certain element. There would be one creature who would be the Master of the others and Harry would ultimately be the Master of them all. Harry went to the Quidditch pitch where he would have plenty of room both up and out. Harry then put the boxes around him in a circle and opened the box that had all of the symbols on it. Inside was a model of a black and blue dragon like creature. Tidus had told him that names would come to him, and the did. Harry decided he would call the master Bahamut.
"Bahamut, master of all other summons and helper of good. I call upon thee to rise. Rise out of the space and come to me."
After Harry said this, a great void seemed to open up in the sky, and the little statue flew up into the void. It then exploded and a massive dragon like creature stepped through. He had massive wings on his back and could stand up straight on two legs. He flew down to where Harry was and spoke.
"Master you have called, and I have answered. I must say it has taken you some time to call me. When you touched the boxes we were created. Only waiting for your call."
"Really? But I thought that I was supposed to create you?"
"Oh you did but it was on a subconscious level. We have all taken our forms and are awaiting your call. All you will have to do, once you have called us here for the first time, is call out our name and we will come. Also you will be empowered with the power to control the elements though you have to be wearing one of the rings to do so."
"You mean I am going to be an elemental?"
"Yes, and no, you con only use the elements when you are wearing either the ring of seven or one of the rings that will be created when the rest are called. I suggest wearing the ring of seven an destroying the other six."
"Why?"
"Well if anybody wears one of the rings they can control that creature and element. But by wearing the ring of seven you will have to train to control the elements separately and when you wish to do so."
"Well, I agree with you, so I will call the remaining six and together we will destroy their rings. Save the one of seven."
"Excellent choice Master. I have to wait for my charges so I will stand behind my box. Continue clockwise."
So Harry opened the next box with a green symbol on it. Inside there was a statue of what seemed to be an ogre, he was holding a club and was brown. But he seemed to be made of part Human and part Rock. Harry then called him.
"Titan, master of the earth. Arise and help the good defeat the evil. I call upon thee to rise. Rise out of the earth and come to me."
When he was done an earthquake hit the pitch and a hole opened up. Out of it came an enormous man like creature. It doubled Hagrid in height and width and carried a massive club on his shoulder. He stood up tall then knelt down on one knee and spoke in a perfect tone.
"The young master has called and I have answered. I swear my allegiance to the master and to the ultimate master." He then stood up and was silent.
Harry was supposed to remain silent after they spoke and throughout the whole process except for his lines. So he moved on to the other box. It had a yellow symbol on it. Inside the box there was a bird like figure. It had many different colors on it.
"Valefor, master of wind and air. Arise to help the good defeat the evil. Fly from the wind and come to me."
A whirlwind erupted as Harry finished speaking and out of the whirlwind came an enormous bird. Its wingspan was as long as half of the Hogwarts Express. Its wings were blue, purple, brown, and white. It flew down and recited the same pledge that Titan had. Then it stood up and was quiet. Harry moved to the next box. It had an aqua colored symbol.
"Leviathan, master of water. Arise and help the good defeat evil. I call upon thee to rise. Rise out of water and come to me."
It was if a torrential downpour had occurred and then it all seemed to concentrate on one area. The water formed a lake in midair and a sea serpent longer than the Basilisk Harry fought emerged. It was mostly blue in color with hints of green. It spoke in an ancient language but Harry understood every word. He also repeated the pledge and was silent. Harry moved to the next box which had a white symbol. Inside the box was what looked to be a blue and white woman.
"Shiva, master of ice, arise and help the good to defeat evil. I call upon thee to rise. Rise out of ice and come to me."
Harry was not looking forward to this one because Harry was not a huge fan of the cold. However as the snow started to fall Harry felt no cold air, and a woman who was pure blue and white emerged from the snow. She was about 5 and half feet tall and even though she was blue, she was very beautiful. Her hair seemed to be icicles but would flow easily. She too recited the pledge and stood behind her box. The boxes were now about five feet from each other and all the creatures were silently standing behind their boxes waiting the arrival of the remaining two. Harry moved to the next box which had a gold symbol on it. Harry opened the box and there was a model of another serpent like creature. Only this one was yellow, blue, and gold.
"Quetzlcoatl master of lightning arise and help the good to defeat the evil. I call upon thee to rise. Rise out of lightning and come to me."
The sound of thunder could be heard for miles, even though Harry was still technically inside. Lightning stuck all around and Harry's glowed as if it were on fire, but he felt no pain. Amongst the lightning a serpent like creature emerged looking just like the model only bigger. It then recited the pledge and flew behind its box. Harry then moved onto the final box. The final box was a mix of red , orange, and white, and when he opened the box there was a magnificent red and gold phoenix.
"Great Phoenix, master of fire and life arise had help the good defeat evil. I call upon thee to rise. Rise out o the ashes and come to me."
A great and strong fire erupted and then died almost as quickly as it had come. Out of the ashes an enormous phoenix came to life. It started to sing and Hope appeared out of nowhere and sang with him. The phoenix then trilled out the pledge which Harry understood with no problems.
"Masters of the elements, I have called you and you have answered it freely. I thank you for helping me in the up and coming war. You have sworn your allegiance to me and now I must ask that you swear to help not only me but also to always help good until it is no longer necessary for you to help. Do you swear to these ideals?"
There was a sudden shout of " WE DO".
"Thank you."
"You are welcome Master but know that you do not need to thank us for our services. It was you that have brought us to this realm and we are thankful for that. We are proud to fight with you and we will always protect you, even if you cant see us, we will be there. Now when I disappear the rings will be destroyed and only one will exist, when the war is over and you are on your death bed in the many years in the future you must destroy the ring, or we will not be able to fulfill our pledge." Bahamut said.
"Why is that?"
"Well if you die and the ring is still around then we will die as well. I ask that you wait until you are very old so that we can always help you. When you destroy the ring anyone who is good will be able to learn how to summon us. Though it will probably take some time. Your direct ancestors will be born the power and know how."
"Okay, well again, that makes sense."
"Very well, we will now take our leave, though remember to train and we will be helping of course. When I leave the ring will be resting in my box. Goodbye for now Master Potter."
And with that they nodded and faded into their respective elements. Leaving an awestruck Harry. These creatures were powerful but they would do whatever Harry asked. He was overwhelmed with the responsibility and decided to talk to Dumbledore about training in the elements.
"Crack!" Was the next sound that Harry heard.
"Dobby, what are you doing? You gave me a heart attack. What's up?"
"Dobby is sorry for scaring Harry Potter but Dobby must know is Harry Potter done sir?"
"Yes, and don't worry about it, just have had some bad experiences with apparation. How long did it take?"
"About 8 hours, sir."
"Eight hours! Whoa, that's not good, isn't the election today?"
"Yes, that is why Dobby has come sir, you only have an hour to vote."
"You're kidding me right?"
"NO sir, Dobby does not kid sir, Harry Potter must be getting to the ministry his Weasey needs to win."
So Harry ran to the foray and flooed to the ministry of magic where many important people were walking around and talking amongst themselves. Albus and Professor McGonagall were among them.
"Professor!" He called.
"Ah Harry I was wondering if you would be showing up."
"Yeah well I was awakening some friends."
"No need to be secretive Mr. Potter, Professor Dumbledore has already informed me of some of your new assets." Professor McGonagall said.
"Oh good, yeah according to Dobby I have just spent the last eight hours awakening my new helpers so to speak. And if possible , Professor Dumbledore I am wondering if you have any background in element training?"
"Well, I have a little but let's not discuss it now, we can wait until you're back at Hogwarts."
"Okay, say how do I vote?"
"Oh, go to the back room and there will be a ballot box. Simply use your wand to pick out the person you wish to vote for. Well actually you have to spell out the name. You see wizard elections are a closed ballot. The people running for office will let only those who might vote for them know that they are running. Unless they are really brave like Mr. Weasley who told the prophet."
"Why so careful?"
"Well some die, some get pushed out by force. Anything that will cause them to drop out. People will do anything to win.
"Oh, okay, well I think that I will go vote now, remind me to never run for office."
Harry went to the back and spelled out Arthur Weasley twice ( as he got two votes because of his name). Then rejoined the two professors.
"So now what?"
"Well we all wait until the poles are closed then head home and wait for the special edition of the prophet. It will have a statement from the new Minister of Magic."
"Okay, so how long until the poles close?"
"Only five minutes."
So Harry waited the five minutes and bid Professor Dumbledore and McGonagall good evening, then flooed home.
Harry was sitting down to dinner when Ron came flying into the kitchen with Dobby close on his heels and Mione behind him.
"HARRY!!" They called.
"Whoa, what is it guys? Did Mr. Weasley win?"
"Ummm, we have some bad news." Hermione said.
"You're kidding me, he didn't win?"
"No he didn't but that is not the worst of it."
"Well what?"
"Maybe you should read this."
Ron handed Harry the Daily Prophet and the headline said in bold letters, "DOLORES UMBRIDGE: New Minister of Magic." In smaller yet just as bold letters right underneath, said "HARRY POTTER: Suspended indefinitely from Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, on accusations of working together with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named."
A/N: Hello again, now before you all start yelling at me about my horrible cliff hanger let me tell you that I had not originally planed on this but I felt that the chapter was already too long so I ended it with the cliff hanger. There is good news for the next chapter, School will be starting, and that is all I am going to say. Now thanks for those who have reviewed the last chapter. Also I wanted to mention that two people who love cars probably more than myself have brought to my attention that a Viper GTSR is an illegal road car, used only on the track. You will see that I have changed that to go with my story. I thank you Paul and Swordmaster mage. Okay on with the thanks and comments.
CastusAlbusCor: I am happy, I hope that this is another good day. Thanks
Angelis1: Sorry about that, I have tried to slow down and explain things, has it worked? Thanks
Harry and Hermione 88: I hope the grades were to your liking. Thanks.
AthenaKitty: Never in a million years. Dobby only wanted to be owned so he could belong to a family. He got lonely and was thrilled to have Harry ask him as he could keep his freedom and belong. Now careful with jumping to conclusions about Umbridge, but well I guess you will have to wait and see. Now I already killed Wormy, so who are you chopping up over there, Lol, thanks for reviewing.
Hilel: You are most correct, I completely forgot about that part. Wakka is the first people to see him on Besaid. Sorry. Thanks for reviewing.
Love48841: Thank you glad you like it.
Gual1: Hehe more than you know, oops didn't mean to let that slip. That plays an important part later. Thanks
Nasser Himura: Ah a Dobby fan, you don't like the Weasley's? Why not? I got tired of the poor family image, besides Ron complains too much so now he has no reason to complain. Thanks glad you like it so far.
Jake: OMG that would be a brilliant idea. Sorry had to. I am writing as fast as I can but it will be some time till I can update. Sorry, but glad you like it so far.
Swordmaster mage: Again thanks for letting me know about that car. I am thinking of writing an off story where Harry goes street racing with Dumbledore, what do you think? Thanks glad you like it.
Randomreaderguy: Thanks glad you like it. I have already brought up the issue of the Fayths so I hope it answered your question.
Katie Moore: I know and I can only assume how angry you are right now. But glad that you like it so far.
Midnightfirestar: Well thank you, glad you like it, I will indeed write more.
Wadeki: Thank you glad you like it.
TuxedoMac: Well I am glad that it makes more sense now. I hope that I can continue to surprise my readers in every chapter. Thanks
Fallen Angel of Hell: You are so going to mace me to death. I love them sorry but I just can't stop myself. Glad you like it though. Thanks.
Order of Dumbledore: Well thank you, I don't believe I have seen you before so I am going to assume you are new. I am glad that you like it so far. We will see his powers soon. Trust me. Thanks.
To all those who are reading and reviewing and to those who aren't. I appreciate everybody reading I will update as soon as I can. If necessary I will cut Chapter 16 short to give you all something to read but we will have to wait and see. Thanks again. Until next time.
