Chapter Four

"That's why Snape hates me!" Harry said as he burst out laughing, "He's still mad at you!"

"Snape always was a grudge-holder," Alexia replied and calmed herself, "I bet he still favors Slytherin over all the other houses since it's his house."

Suddenly the pedant glowed and Harry changed. His black hair streaked with silver and his eyes changed to silver as well.

"I see the silver Lightning Phoenix has awoken," Alexia stated, "Harry change back by thinking of what you looked like before you transformed."

Harry did and he turned back to his normal self.

"What was that?" he asked breathlessly.

"That was your elemental phoenix's human form," Jordan explained, "Alexia is the blue Ice, I am the black Thunder, you are silver Lightning, and Hermione is the golden Sun. There are four more: the white Wind, light blue Water, red Fire, and yellow Moon phoenixes."

"So are we immortal?" Hermione asked either one of the two.

"Yes and no," Alexia replied, "We can die, but it takes heck of a lot of power and we age slower, about one year every ten years, once we turn eighteen."

"How do we tell who is a phoenix and who isn't?" Harry asked Alexia.

"They'll bare the mark of a phoenix on their arm as a birthmark like we do. That mark will glow in their color when you are nearby, but only when we see it will we know for sure," Alexia explained.

"I guess we should be getting Harry and Hermione back to the muggle hospital," Jordan stated with a sigh, "We will show ourselves to my family later."

With a goodbye to Dumbledore three of the four disappeared and reappeared in Hermione's hospital room, which was almost completely empty, so no one noticed. The Grangers were sitting in the corner and Mrs. Granger was crying. Hermione slowly made her way over to her parents.

"Mom?" Hermione asked uncertainly.

Mrs. Granger ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I looked up and almost fainted as I came face to face with my daughter. Before Hermione could blink, she was crushed into a hug that made it hard to breathe.

"Mom, nice to see you too, but you're crush my ribcage and vertebrae."

I let go as William rounded on Harry. Harry was, slowly backed into a corner, accused of nearly killing Hermione.

"I trusted you! You said you would protect her with your life! You willingly removed Hermione from her room! Do you realize that you could have killed her!?" William raged uncontrollably, "I can't believe I trusted you! You-you good-for-nothing back-stabber-I can't believe you! You-Harry Potter-'The Boy Who Lived' would do something as stupid as this!"

Hermione was crying at the things William said to Harry. Suddenly his fist came up and connected to Harry's unprotected jaw. The young wizard was sent flying into a nearby wall and landed in a heap. Hermione ran, crying, to his side to see if he was okay. She shook him and with no response she began to cry openly onto his chest.

"THAT'S IT!" came an angry voice before Alexia pulled Mr. Granger off his feet by the collar of his shirt, "Listen here Mister! I don't care if your Hermione's father or the bloody King of Scots! Before you go accusing someone, ask them what happened! If someone should be punched, it should be you or me, not Harry! I turned the necklace he's wearing into a portkey, with absolutely no warning, in order to save Hermione's life! Hermione would have died if Harry's elemental phoenix powers hadn't started to awaken and I hadn't noticed them!"

"What?!" Mr. Granger roared.

"A phoenix is everlasting, true…
With a heart that can be hurt…
A phoenix relies on love to come through…
Unless you treat love like dirt…
A heart bound has no wings, so it cannot fly the sky…
That is why when we are hurt…
The Phoenix always cry."

Hermione was crying harder when Alexia recited that.

"That, my friends, was a pledge written two years ago," Alexia stated and then her eyes narrowed at Harry, "Lightning arise and state your pledge so your powers may be whole!"

Harry slowly stood, wobbling on weakened legs. Hermione gasped and he dropped to one knee in front of her as if to propose.

"My heart is everlasting…
It beats only true…
Coursing blood through veins…
Along with my love for you…
Shall I die a lonely death…
Or the love that can be slain…
Just don't shed those lonely tears…
That call upon the rain…
I'll do stop those unwanted tears…
I fight tooth and nail until my death…
Losing you is my biggest of fears…
And will be 'til my dying breath…"

"Harry?" Hermione asked uncertain, moved by the short poem-like pledge.

"Yes Hermione?"

"Was that you that just said that or was the silver phoenix?"

"What do you think?" Harry asked with a sly grin.

"That it was you."

"Then it is settled."

"What is going on!?" Mr. Granger roared as he heard all of this take place.

"SILENCE!" Alexia yelled and smiled as Mr. Granger stared at her dumbly.

Suddenly Harry glowed completely silver and flashed once, twice, then thrice and then the light died down. Hermione gasped, as the place where Harry had stood was completely empty.

"Where is Harry?!" she asked Alexia, scared for the safety of and worried about the young man that she loved.

"He went home," Alexia replied, "Home to Hogwarts and so shall we as soon as we get your school things from your house and ask Ron to bring Harry's."
