Chapter 10

Meeting with Dumbledore

Draco and Ginny managed to get to the gargoyle without bumping into the Dream Team or any of Draco's housemates. Immediately when the stopped in front of the gargoyle, it growled,

"Password?"

"Toffee caramel," Draco stated clearly. The gargoyle's eyes lit up, before moving to show a spiral staircase. As Ginny and Draco walked up the stairs, Ginny asked,

"How did you know the password?"

Draco simply stated, "I'm head boy."

Ginny nodded and was silent until the reached a wooden door. She looked over at Draco and he gave her a slight smile before knocking three times. The door creaked open slowly, and the two walked in. Ginny gasped inaudibly at the sight. Little whatnots were placed in various places around the circular room and Fawkes was lightly snoozing on his perch. Two overstuffed, comfy-looking chairs were sitting in front of a large desk overflowing with parchment, quills, and books. Ginny was so engrossed in her perusing of Dumbledore's office she failed to notice the figure emerging from across the room. She jumped when she heard him speak.

"Ahhh, Mister Malfoy and Miss Weasely. I've been expecting you both for quite some time now."

Draco looked over to Ginny, with confusion in his grey eyes. She shrugged lightly and turned back to Dumbledore who was looking at them with great interest.

"I believe you wish to ask me something...or is it you wish to tell me something?"

He waved them over to the overstuffed chairs, and after he seated himself behind the large, overflowing desk, Ginny began to speak. She told him of her dreams she'd been having lately, and then told him of the visions Draco had begun having. She also told him about the incident that had progressed when she and Draco had been sitting by the lake. Throughout her speech, Dumbledore sat quietly gazing off into space. His two thumbs and forefingers created a triangle as he leaned back in his chair.

"I've been expecting this for quite some time, children," he said to them quietly. When neither Ginny nor Draco commented, Professor Dumbledore stood and walked over to a dusty bookshelf.

"Tell me Mister Malfoy, last night while you were in your room, did anything strange happen?" Ginny looked over to Draco, curiously. Draco stayed silent for a moment, pondering on whether or not to tell Dumbledore about what happened in his room last night. Although he disliked Dumbledore, his logical thinking won out and he began to speak.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, something strange did happen. I had just fallen asleep, when I felt something, or rather someone on top of me. At first I thought I was dreaming, but then I felt a prick on my neck and when I opened my eyes, I saw a cloaked figure on top of me. I tried to fight him off, but he was too strong and I felt myself getting weaker until I guess I passed out. But when I did, visions started coming to me as if I were actually there. I saw a man, who had an uncanny resemblance to me, embracing a woman with fiery red hair, and then that vision shot out, and another took place with supposedly the same man in a sort of demon form killing the woman before killing himself."

While Ginny was surprised at what Draco had just said, it seemed as if Dumbledore were expecting what Draco was saying and he had a small smile on his lips, though his normally cheerful eyes were now filled with gloom. He didn't say a word, but instead continued looking around the bookcase and moving things here and there. He made a small sound of triumph when he found what he was looking for and turned back to the two teenagers. In one hand, he held a piece of ancient parchment that looked as if it would crumble with the slightest touch, and in the other, he held a round glass globe with two clouds, a dark red and silver grey color, floating around in the midst.

"It came to my attention some years ago, that I would have two remarkable students come into this very school and fulfill a prophecy from some time ago. This globe I hold in my hand has been passed down from generation to generation in my family. We are keepers of eternal souls, or Pectusoris Attineo. It is our job to make sure that the souls we hold, stay inside the sacred globe until they are to be released to the chosen owners."

"I don't understand Professor. What do Draco and I have to do with that globe you have?"

Dumbledore smiled and sat back down in his seat. He set the globe down gently and reached for the ancient piece of parchment. He untied the piece of string from around it, and slowly opened it up. With steady hands, he handed it to Draco.

"Go on, read it Mister Malfoy. It has a great deal to do with the both of you." Slowly, Draco began to read the piece of parchment aloud.

In the first war against that of Good and Evil, Lady Genevieve and her faithful followers defeated Lord Vittorio. She was of Pheonicis descent and was able to call forth the Sword of the Phoenix in her battle against Vittorio. Her lover, Drake, was of Draconis descent and was able to call forth the powers of the dragon to aid her in the war. It was the night of the comonstro noctiluca however, and Drake was unable to stop his change into his half-dragon form. He killed Genevieve with her sword, and after realizing what he had done, killed himself with the same dagger. All mourned the terrible tragedy of the two lovers and they were laid to rest beside each other. Before being lain to rest, the two castus coeoitums were put under a spell. Their souls were brought forth from their bodies and encased in a sacred glass globe and put in a place where none could find it. A keeper of the globe was chosen from that of their most trusted and loyal friends to guard and protect their souls until the two lover's reincarnations come into form. To reunite the two souls, the reincarnated praecantrix and venificusaum must touch the globe at the same time and recite:
"A love so strong cannot be broken
Though many consider breaking the token
Take form this night, be guided to light
Rise up again, be strong in might"

When Draco was through reading he and Ginny looked at one another before turning back to Dumbledore. In his hands he held the globe, and the two swirling clouds of mist, which were moving at leisure pace before, had now begun swirling back and forth furiously. As though they had a mind of their own, Draco and Ginny's hands reached for the globe at once. Ginny felt a surge of power flow through her veins like heated lava and her eyes began to glow a shade of dark orange. Draco also felt a surge of power, and a cool mist began to flow through his blood as his eyes turned a darker shade of grey. Unconsciously, both reached for each other's hands and gasped at the shock that flew through their fingertips when their skin touched. They began to recite in clear, loud tones as one:

"A love so strong cannot be broken
Though many consider breaking the token
Take form this night, be guided to light
Rise up again, be strong in might"

The air in the room began to get colder as if someone had put a freezing charm on the room. The two swirling mists began spinning so fast they looked to be the same. Ginny and Draco kept their hands firmly locked as a strong gust of wind knocked them from their seats. They landed six feet from where they had been previously seated and could do nothing but watch as the globe began to fall. However, the globe did not break once it hit the floor. Instead, the ground started shaking and the two clouds began to leak from the globe. Once they fully emerged, the two clouds began to take form. The dark red cloud, took form of a woman, and the dark silver grey cloud took form of a man.

They floated to where Ginny and Draco were laying and began to descend. Ginny screamed as the cloud woman placed her scorching hand on her heart. She tried to move, but found that she was lacking in any kind of energy. She screamed again, this time louder as the hand began to disappear into her chest. After 5 minutes the cloud had fully embedded itself deeply within Ginny. Ginny slowly turned her head to see the same thing happening with Draco. Sweat was pouring from his brow and she could tell he was trying hard not to scream, as a Malfoy does not show weakness. She gripped his hand with the last of her energy and he turned his head towards hers. His slow smile turned to a grimace as the silver grey cloud finally embedded itself into Draco's chest.

After both clouds embedded themselves into Draco and Ginny, the ground stopped shaking, but the air remained colder than death. Slowly Ginny became aware that she was being lifted into the air. Thinking it was one of the teachers coming to help her, she turned her head to see if they were helping Draco as well, and gasped aloud at the sight. Draco was being lifted into the air as she was, but seemingly by an invisible hand. She looked down and saw that the same was happening with her. Once they were 7 feet in the air, Ginny felt her change come about. She felt the familiar tingle of her phoenix power emerge and rejoiced in it. Her hair turned to a vivid dark red color, her eyes going from the dark orange color to now a blood red. Her skin now had a rosy tint, and her dusty robes disappeared. In their place, a long white gown with a dipped bodice now appeared and a sword adorned her side.

Draco felt his change for the first time. His ribs expanded and his biceps bulged as huge fangs began to grow and talons began to emerge from his fingertips. His skin turned from the normal pale color to a deep blue and his hair was now black and blue instead of his normal pale blond color. A bow and arrow appeared magically in a leather pouch, which was strapped across his back. Draco and Ginny floated back down towards the floor as the air turned back to its normal temperature. Dumbledore bowed to the two figures and whispered,

"It is done."
