A/N: Thanks to those of you who reviewed:
s.s.: Now you can find out what's in the paragraph!!!
Dragon Bane3: Ah yes, thank you! I knew it was wrong.but since I'm lazy I won't correct it. (For those of you that don't know, Dragon Bane3 was kind enough to inform me that the passage to Hogsmeade is NOT behind the gargoyle-oops, that's Dumbledore's office-it is behind the One-eyed witch!!!) Thank you so much. I'm glad you like this fic so far.
Crystal369: here is your update, glad you like it. Hope you like this chapter too!!!

Chapter 4: The Project
The parchment read:
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has four houses: Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, and Slytherin. Common knowledge, right? Well here's something that isn't common knowledge: there were once five. Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, Gryffindor, Slytherin, and Phoenix. The four founders of Hogwarts agreed there should be five houses-and thus, Phoenix House was made along with the other four. It was decided (one of the few things they all agreed on) that the colors for Phoenix House would be silver and navy blue, and that the house mascot would be a Phoenix.
Phoenix House won the Quidditch and House Cups more than the other four houses did. Its navy blue banner emblazoned with a silver Phoenix became almost legendary among Hogwarts students. Almost four hundred years ago, Phoenix House became no more. It kicked its students out (quite literally) and closed itself up. Its name vanished out of most books and articles almost immediately.
All the trophies that Phoenix House had won all disappeared, assumingly inside of the House. The house banner disintegrated, and Phoenix house disappeared from the Hogwarts crest. Its table in the Great Hall vanished completely. Phoenix House was no more, it vanished everywhere; it only remained in people's minds. Over the years, that too began to fade. Some books still contain information about it, but they are scattered and few. The paintings on the many halls of Hogwarts remember it and will tell you lots about it if you stop and listen.
Your job is to find out what happened, why, and if possible bring it back-or at least find out how to. It can be done-for the legend of Phoenix House lives on in some of you, particularly in the Heir and Heiress of Phoenix House. Even though we don't know who they are, you will have to find that out yourselves, we do know that they alone can bring it back.
This is your project. Do not fail. Good luck.
The next few parchments listed the books that mention or have information on Phoenix House-most of which could hopefully be found here, although there weren't more than two or three dozen.
Blaise looked at me, "Well, I guess we'd better get started." I agreed and we both set off for the Restricted Section to try to find some of the books.
A/N: Draco comes soon (in one of the next two chapters I hope), I promise!!! But in the meantime, Please Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
