Chapter 12
Bloody Oath
The eyes followed every movement of the six phoenixes. They closely watched the two remaining members of the Potter family. Their owner was interested mostly in the three most powerful, and the newest member, of the phoenix group, which were Ice, Moon, Lightning, and Water.
The eyes belonged to someone who wished he wasn't just spying on them. No, he wanted to be out there, standing next to them, training with them, and maybe even becoming one of them. He was tired of acting mean and nasty just to apease his father.
Yes, the eyes belonged to none other than Draco Malfoy. He was supposed to be spying for his father's Master and at first he had been, but now he wasn't. Something in his heart told him he belonged with that group just as much as he belonged with Ginny. So taking a chance, he stepped out of the shadows and headed towards the group.
~~~~~~~~~
Jordan felt his phoenix birthmark start to burn lightly and looked up. A single, male, figure was walking steadily towards them. The walk suggested no threat, but the person walking did.
"Is that Draco Malfoy?" Ginny asked him softly.
Immediately the others' heads snapped up in shock. A lightning bolt nearly fried Hermione before Harry's storm hastily broke up. Alexia let out a yell as she was singed by Ron. In revenge, Ron was pinned to a near by tree with several ice shards-some of which narrowly missed gelding him.
After all this settled and Ron was freed from the tree, the small group turned their gaze in the same direction that Jordan was looking. Sure enough Mr. Egotistical was calmly walking their way as if he belonged there. His presence shocked them slightly, but what shocked them completely was the white light that was raidiating off of him.
He came up short, right in front of them, staring at the group intently. The glow's intensity ebbed away until it was a small disc-shape on his arm, surrounding a phoenix shaped birthmark. Alexia stepped forward and half smirked, half scowled, at the newest member of the group.
"Welcome Wind," she stated coldly, "To the group."
"Hold it! Malfoy is the Wind Phoenix?!" Ron yelled in disbelief, "No way! not a chance!"
"It is fate Ronald Weasley," Alexia hissed at the youngest male Weasley, still very angry with him for burning her, "There is no choice or chance in this matter!"
Ron looked at her as if she was insane, but Jordan nodded once to this. Hermione looked shocked while Harry and Ginny could only stare in disbelief.
'Draco Malfoy's one of us?!' Harry thought to himself, 'But he can't be!'
They had to face facts, Draco was a phoenix, but how was the question.
"I think that mum and dad are going to like this about as much as the fact that Draco and I are dating," Ginny stated softly.
"Don't matter what they like," Jordan replied darkly, "It is a matter that someone 'up there' thought this funny enough to give the responisibily, courage, and drive of a Phoenix to a pure blood, Muggle-born hater, like Draco Malfoy."
"Besides that," Alexia suddenly added, with no emotion in her voice, "His name is Draco and that is supposed to be the name of the Leader of the Dragon Clan, not the Phoenix Clan."
"Dragon Clan?!" Harry repeated, confused and slightly angry, "Phoenix Clan?! What haven't you been telling us?!"
If looks could kill, Harry would have gone from The-Boy-Who-Lived to The-Boy-Who-Died-Twice-In-One-Time, as Jordan and Alexia were giving him that look at the exact same time. You could definitely tell that the two were married just by looking at them right then.
"We are not purposely holding back iformation just for the fun of it," Alexia growled out angrily.
The air surrounding them took on a heavy coldness. While everyone else, except Ron, was shivering badly, Draco felt twice as cold since he was the Wind Phoenix.
"We cannot tell you everything until the last Phoenix is found. Since it's the Yellow Moon Phoenix, then there's no telling who it could be."
"A girl," Ginny piped up, "A girl that loves Ron."
"What?!" Ron replied, shocked.
"Think about it," Ginny commanded softly, "Alexia and Jordan are married. Harry and Hermione are boyfriend and girlfriend. Draco and I are boyfriend and girlfriend as well. Ron, you are the only one of us that is without their other half."
"Ginny's right," Hermione whispered softly, "If you think about it, she's completely right."
"True," Alexia replied casually, "So the question is, who is Ron's other half-his soul mate?"
All eyes, well except for Ron and Draco's, turned to look at Ron, who was as red in the face as his hair.
~~~~~~~~~
Later that night...
Mr. Weasley shook his head as he looked around the table. Alexia, Jordan, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and even Draco Malfoy, who was acting like a compete gentleman, was staring at Ron as if he was something fascinating they had never seen before.
"I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Ron suddenly screamed, "STOP BLOODY LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT! I DON'T KNOW WHO IN THE BLOODY HELL COULD SHE BE!"
"RONALD WEASLEY!" Molly thundered, "No cursing at the table!"
Ron's ears went red, embarrassed from being scolded in front of his friends. Nothing more was said at the dinner table that night until Jordan piped up.
"Mum and Dad," Jordan softly started, "Alexia and I need to talk to you two and Harry after dinner."
Mrs. Weasley shot a questioning look to Mr. Weasley, who just shrugged and then nodded. So after everyone was done eating, everyone but the aforementioned five were sent up to bed. Fred and George did a lot of talking and planning, but Hermione was the only one that actually snuck back downstairs to easedrop on the five. She listened for a few minutes, hearing Jordan tell a dark tale to everyone else in the room.
"I know you're there Hermione," Molly suddenly called out from inside of the room, "You already heard most of it, so come in."
Hermione shook with anger, at being discovered, but went inside and sat down next to Harry, anyways.
~~~~~~~~~
Jordan looked at the other five in the room and softly sighed.
"Voldemort struck again last night."
"How?!" Molly cried, "Where?!"
"When?!" Arthur added, "Why wasn't in the paper?!"
Hermione was shocked to say the least, but it was more so over how calmly Alexia and Harry were taking the news, almost as if they had already known, but she didn't remember hearing Harry having a nightmare last night or any time that week.
"Why are you two so calm?" Arthur asked the two remaining Potters, "Do you know something else we don't?"
"What do you think?" Alexia replied almost icily, "That we told the Death Eaters to attack that town?"
Arthur looked as shocked as Jordan, Molly, and Hermione.
"No, it's because he has managed to get the Dragon Clan to come to his side," Alexia added, still with the icy-coldness in her voice, "Only Tarken has decided not to follow them."
"Who is Tarken?" Molly asked, fearful.
"Tarken is like a brother to us," Jordan replied, "Tarken's full name is Tarken Frey Draconious Malfoy and yes, he is Draco's older brother and Rei's twin, which means that he is also adopted. He was in Slytherin, but he is not a Death Eater or Dark Wizard."
"What is the Dragon Clan?" Harry asked his sister.
"What didn't you understand when I tell you earlier?!" Alexia replied, narrowing her eyes, "I cannot tell you until we find the last Phoenix!"
"Why?!" Harry yelled, leaping to his feet.
"I'm under a blood-sealed, magical oath, that would kill me!" Alexia snapped as she also flew to her feet, "Unless the oath's requirements are fulfilled by this time next year, the oath will kill me!"
