A/N: This chapter is probably going to confuse the hell out of you all. It explains a lot. So I tried to put it as simple as possible. Please be patient. This will all come together soon. **Also note that I changed the character look up to Draco and James instead of James and Harry. And the genre to Drama instead of General. Also the title for the last chapter should be Dancing Among Death Eaters, but I don`t know if it changed or not. **

Lisana and Draco sat in Renee`s living room. Renee had been standing by the fireplace as if she suspected that they were coming. Upon entering, Renee had offered them tea and bid Lisana to sit on the couch. Soren had kindly asked Draco if he were up for a game of Quidditch. The team was meeting at a Quidditch pitch for practice, and with Renee home, they needed an extra player. Draco had agreed after Lisana told him to go.
" I feel you have troubles on your mind," Renee said to Lisana.
Lisana looked at Renee. She had n`t changed a bit. A the moment, she was wearing long white robes. Her black hair was in long waves down her back, and with the white robes, it made her eyes look even greener.
Lisana sipped her tea, and faced Renee. " Have you ever heard of a Meta?" she asked.
Renee sipped her tea, and stared out the window. " Ancient protectors of the good and peace," she said after a moment. Lisana looked at her curiously.
" Protectors?" she asked, " They have much power, then?"
" Yes, that is why there are so few. They are feared, loved, and betrayed. They are a dying race."
" I don`t understand," Lisana said.
" No, you would n`t . And I`m really not the best person to explain that to you."
" Please Renee," Lisana pleaded, " If you don`t tell me, then I will never know."
Renee sat in silence for a moment. She then reached into her pocket, and pulled out a green flamed orb.
" This," began Renee, " This is the Orb of Percades. It carries the power to it hold power. Metas have much power. So much, that it can kill them and others around them. The Orb controls that power, so Metas do not harm anyone against their will. I trust you have yours as well?"
" Yes," said Lisana reaching into her pocket and pulling hers out, " But why are they different colors?"
" The colors represent the power within. Do your eyes change color when you are scared, angry, shocked, or any other strong emotion?"
" I`ve only seen them change a few times, but yes. They change to the color of silver."
" Ah, so you have the Orb of Aiadats." said Renee, " You will note that the Orb changes when your eyes change. That is the Orb functioning your power. They all have special names. Each name was given by the witch or wizard who created your Orb. My eyes change to the color of lavender, hence the Orb does, too."
" So these witches and wizards created the Orbs because all the Metas were dying from their own power?" Lisana asked curiously.
" Yes," Renee answered, " These Orbs are what saved the last of the Metas. Unfortunately, the Orbs are made for certain powers. Those who could not create an Orb for their power, usually died. It took thousands of years for some Metas. Many generations have held that Orb, and the secrets to making them are known to few. Do not lose it."
" My brother, Harry, has an Orb. Does that mean he is a Meta, too?"
" Not necessarily. From what I have understood, your parents were informed that a prophecy was made. They only know that one of there children has special power and they were to be given the Orbs. What color is Harry`s Orb?"
" It has a red flame in it. Remus said the power varied for each person."
" And it does. I will explain the power later. Harry has the Orb of Gengus, and it probably does not belong to him."
" How did they come across these Orbs?"
" Dumbledore I would suppose had a hand in it. Though, I also think he knew what the powers are. I have a strong feeling that he is also a Meta."
"I have never seen his eyes change color. They only twinkle."
" That is because he has either passed his powers on or has become powerful enough to control all the power and does not need the Orb anymore. Your eyes only change when your power changes. The Orbs help protect you and the people around you, so your eyes give away fair warning. That is a result of the Orb. The Orb is a shield to all. But it is a problem that Harry has an Orb. There could be another Meta out there without it or with the wrong Orb. The only way to tell if you have the right Orb is if your eyes change. Are you getting all of this?"
" Let me sum it up," Lisana said, " I have the Orb of Aiadats. It controls my power and changes my eyes to protect people. My eyes changing also signifies that I have the right Orb. Harry has the wrong Orb which is a problem. You have the Orb of Percades, and you`re also a Meta."
" That is correct," said Renee, " Now about the powers. Have you done anything unusual lately?"
" This horse, Silverstar, I can now ride him and I never could before."
" You see, your power is Aiadats. This power was named after the Orb and it`s creator. You can talk to creatures, both muggle and magical. You can also control them into doing what you want them to do, because they will obey a Meta."
" How do I use this power?" Lisana asked.
" How did you use it on the horse?"
" I was wishing that it would let me pet it and ride it."
" There. Animals know and sense things humans do not. They can sense feelings, and wants. The horse obeyed your wish, because it knows you are powerful, and it respects that.
" Now Lisana, that is your individual power. No other Meta can do that. However, Metas have common powers, too. For example, we are born with the ability to fight and protect. And we all have the power to talk to each other."
" Like mind power?" Lisana asked amazed.
" Well, you could call it that. It is more like a feeling. Some have developed that potential to speak with the mind. But mostly, it is just feeling. I knew you would be coming to talk to me today, because I felt it. It is a power of knowing."
" What is your power?"
" My power is Percades. I can control and produce fire, wind, and water elements."
"Wow," Lisana could n`t believe all of this. She was a Meta with the power to speak to animals, fight evil, and know what other Metas were thinking or feeling. It was awesome.
" How many other Metas are there?"
" There use to be thousands of them. Why so many, I am not sure of. Now, there are about ten Orbs, and five of them have owners. We have yet to figure out who, because a Meta is secret. I only know of one other besides us. And he does not live near here."
" Lisana, you must always remember to use your powers for the greater good. There have been what people call a fallen Meta. Do not become one."
" But–
" I think there has been enough explaining for one day. Make sure you practice your powers, but harm nothing. Do not tell others of this power for your protection. Tell only those you must. And always carry your Orb."
" Thank you Renee," Lisana said gratefully, " This really helped me out."
Renee smiled, " You had best get home. And I mean home. Your parents need an explanation. Not to mention you need to catch the Hogwarts express."
" What time is it?" Lisana asked surprised.
" Well, it is two here. But back at your end of our world, I`d say around twelve midnight." [A/N: I don`t really know the time change, so don`t kill me if I`m wrong.]
" Renee, why is your Quidditch team practicing so late?"
" Well, we do have a game against Feoraxon. That, and I did need to speak to you privately. Draco needed to go somewhere."
Lisana thank Renee again, and then got Draco. They stepped into the fire and stepped out again.
A/N: Ok. This chapter is a little short, and I left off in a weird spot. So Lisana is either going home or to Draco`s. I hope you all understand what a Meta is. I know this was a little confusing. The next chapter is going to take a little longer to write. Please review!
This probably isn`t going to end for at least another ten chapters. But in between this fic and the one after it, I`m going to write a few short stories. Just happy fics. After the sequel to this, I`m probably going to write the one about Lily and James.
