Chapter 2: A new light in things
Thanx for the reviews! ENJOY the rest of the editing!
Recap: "Hermione, like I mentioned, we found something in the Head Girl room. It hasn't been used since you and Harry left because none of the students wanted to use it. They all believe that it's cursed or something so we've been letting them use a different dorm instead. But the other day we went up there and found something very peculiar. Please follow us." Professor Dumbledore said. They all followed him and into the tower.
"Now, please keep close. We have found that whatever is in your old room, Hermione, is very powerful and could blast away anyone if you are not in a group." Remus Lupin pointed out as they stood in front of the Head Girl room door. When the door opened, everyone gasped.
There, in the middle of the room, was a beautiful woman with long golden hair, shining skin, and a heavenly gold dress that had long sleeves and the dress trailed long behind her. She was glowing brightly and floating above the floor, holding something in her hands in front of her. Her eyes where closed and she seemed not breathing at all.
"Who is she?" Hermione asked, hoping someone would provide the answer.
"What we found. She hasn't opened her eyes or moved from that spot for a few days. We are not sure what she's doing here, or even who she is. We tried spells against her but nothing works." Remus answered.
"She's powerful though. The glow around her will blast anything away from her. We don't know anything about her or what is in her hands. But, judging by her skin, she seems young." Professor McGonagall mentioned.
"You see we called Sirius here because at the time, you had just had Kittiey, Hermione, and so we felt it was unfair to keep any of your family away. We hoped that Sirius could help, but we where still clueless about everything so, that's why we asked you all here." Dumbledore explained. Hermione handed her daughter to Harry and walked up to the girl. She was mere inches away, and yet nothing was happening to her. She reached a hand out, making it go through the golden glow, and touched the girl's hand, feeling a charm bracelet or something in it. The girl's golden eyes opened and she looked at Hermione. Her body floated to the ground and the glow was reduced.
"So, you've come back for us." She said in a soft, sweet voice. Hermione blinked and raised an eyebrow.
"What?" she asked. The woman grabbed Hermione's wrist and turned it upside down so she could see Hermione's palm. She carefully dropped whatever it was in her hand into Hermione's and closed it, a glow coming through her fingers. A warm feeling went through Hermione's body as soon as the bracelet was into her hands.
"Do you feel it?" the woman asked.
"I do. It feels so familiar." Hermione replied. The woman smiled and placed her hand on top of Hermione's.
"Do you remember where it's from?" She asked, her voice sweet and soft still.
"It's a blur in my mind, but I know it's there. From so long ago. Like it's a dream. A dream that would hunt me in my early years. It's the feeling of my first seven months, before my mother died. It's the feeling of my friend friends." Hermione paused then looked into the woman's golden eyes.
"Light." She whispered. The woman nodded and removed her hand.
"We've waited forever. But, that's our meaning in life: to wait and serve you. But we're happy to know we can finally rejoin you and protect you again." Light said to her. Dumbledore gasped and suddenly remembered something.
"Hermione! Get away from that demon." Dumbledore said, stepping in front of everyone.
"Why?" Hermione asked.
"Because she and those other demons killed your mother." Dumbledore said to them.
"Just wait one minute! We did no such thing!" Light yelled, anger flashing in her eyes. As soon as she said that, two girls emerged from the bracelet.
"Light, why did you yell so loud?" Asked one with long black hair, cold dark eyes, and light skin. She was tall and wore short, tight black dress that had a sliver chain around the waist.
"We're still being accused of the murder of Queen Starr by him! STILL!" Light explained.
"You did murder my wife! I saw you, all of you. Standing over my bloody with that knife that was dripping with her blood, her body stabbed to death! You killed her because you work for the dark forces! I thought you were gone when I banded you from my home and hid my daughter where you couldn't find her, but you still come back!" Dumbledore shouted.
"Why would we ever kill her! She's the one who gave us to Hermione! Why would we want to kill someone who gave us to their daughter to protect her!" Shouted the other one with long hair that resembled Fire and Flame's hair. She wore a knee length, flame red dress.
"Father, Blaze has a point. And mother told me how she died. The girl's were all there to try to stop Snape from killing me!" Hermione said, defending the three girls.
"Hermione, you are just warped by their mind powers. They can't be trusted!" Dumbledore told his daughter.
"This is all bull! No wonder why we hate men so much!" Dark exclaimed, turning around and sitting at Hermione's old vanity.
"I agree. He still doesn't trust us." Blaze said, rolling her eyes.
"I don't understand any of this." Harry said, everyone nodding.
"I'll explain. You see, Queen Starr was in her room, playing with her daughter. We were just little fairies back then and had hardly any powers. Suddenly, Snape came in and began to stab the poor queen to death as we all watched in horror as she died, but we couldn't help her much because we were created to protect only the little princess. When we knew the queen was officially dead, Snape began to advance to us when Blaze and Earth attacked him and we took the knife. When he had enough, he left and we went to see if we could remotely help Queen Starr. King Dumbledore came in and saw us standing over her, holding the knife. He took Hermione right away, used his wand to make us go into our charms of the bracelet where we lived, and banned us from ever coming around here again. But now that Hermione is to be queen, it is our time to return to her in her time of need. We're back to protect her and her two daughters. Of course, since it was a man who banned us, and men who shut us away from shelter while their kind wives would welcome us, we refuse to protect any man. Even Hermione's own child." Light explained to them.
"So, let me get this straight. You hate men because they banned you, so now you refuse to protect any man, even the spawn of the one who you were created to protect?" Flame asked.
"Yeah, that's basically it." Blaze said, walking over to Light, crossing her arms over her chest.
"Geez, talk about limits." Ash whispered to Sirius, both mean lightly chuckling. Blaze turned into a fiery outline of her body and flashed over to Ash.
"What did you say?" She asked, glaring.
"Blaze! Stop that now!" Light snapped to the younger one. Blaze's body cooled off and she retreated backwards, a light glare in her eyes.
"See what I mean! And these are only three of them." Dumbledore told them.
"You mean there is more?" Harry asked, a bit uneasy.
"There's me, Dark, Blaze, Earth and Misty. Earth, Dark, and myself are the oldest and wisest. Misty and Blaze were born after." Light told him.
"I take it you all are element influenced?" Fire asked.
"Yes. My name is Misty. My element is obviously water. I have to power to turn myself and Hermoine into a mermaid or any other sea creature, as well as clam anything so that it is peaceful like the ocean." Said a woman with aqua hair to her waist, and sea blue eyes. Her skin looked like water was shining on it and she was wearing a shell top, long sea green skirt, and no shoes. Around her ankle was a gold bracelet. They all listened as the other girls introduced themselves and told of what they could do.
That night, Hermione sat at her vanity, looking at the charm bracelet. Each sister had a necklace with a small, clear globe on it, her elements inside of it, each charm on the bracelet matching the glob. Like genies, each sister lived in each of her element charms and they could meet in the chain that kept them together. Harry watched as his wife inspected the bracelet, and pondered.
'Is their story true?' Harry wondered, making sure his thought didn't travel to Hermione's mind. But alas, it failed.
'It is, my love, it is. Mother told me so when I died.' Hermione looked at him and smiled. Harry returned the smile and got into bed. Hermione set the bracelet on her night stand and turned off her light. She snuggled up against Harry's broad chest and fell asleep. Harry laid awake, watching the moon through the window in their guest bedroom, still wondering if it was all a lie.
