Chapter Eight: Blue books

Harry looked around in a dazed confusion in the shifting hallways, his violet eyes flicking around to find out where he had managed to get himself. He had been searching for his common room for the past hour and only seemed to turning himself around in circles. Growling some under his breath from frustration he plopped down under one of the window's over looking the courtyard, and no sooner had he sat down had the large blue book appear in his lap. Harry tilted his head at the book that seemed to follow him around like a lost dog, letting his curiousity getting the better of him and opened the book. And at first appearance the first bag looked blank, but just as soon as he made that realization a bright yellow light washed over him for a second then sucked back into the book leaving behind a page of words.

Seek the solider born of light and forged in darkness.

Child to a mother but not born from the womb.

Heir to Eagle and Badger and commander of lightning

Seek this child but beware his wrath

Son to queen of Ice he shall grow in the shadow of the Serpent

Seek the solider born of light and forged in darkness.

Harry blinked at the cryptic words and his breath captured in his chest. Though even before he could finish the his gawking another light washed over him this time giving him a falling feeling just before everything went black and comsumed him.

Harry groaned loudly as he pulled himself into an upright sitting postion from the cold stone. His vision was out of focus as he tried to stand but came crashing down as his legs gave out from under him, causing him to hiss as a sharp pain shot up his spine. Blinking back the tears from his eyes he attempted to get another look at his surroundings only to find two figures rushing towards him.

"Stay still young one." A soft woman's voice whispered to him as he felt a pair of soft hands placed on his shoulder. "I told you there was to much power in that book Helga." The same soft voice hissed to the other figure, Harry finally managing to get his vision cleared found himself starting into a beautiful pair of blue eyes. Harry blinked for a second watching the blonde woman in front of him before turning his eyes to the second figure which too turned out to be a woman.

"Well I didn't know how far in the future he would come. I had to be sure." The second woman replied kneeling next to him as well. At first Harry seized up because the second woman had deep red eyes that frightened him, but looking closer he saw the concern in her eyes and it relaxed him. "Tell me young one, what is your name?" The black haired woman asked in a bare whisper to him.

"I have no idea who you are, I'm not about to give you my name." Harry said in a cold tone, the shock of the people vanishing and replaced by his mother's training. His once confused eyes chilling over with zero emotion as he slid his hands into his pocket for his wand. "And certainly after the two of you gave me a cursed book, if anyone is giving names it would be the two of you." He said in a cut off tone, pointing his wand at the blonde's chest inside of his robes though he kept his motions concealed.

"Good for you young one." The black haired woman said standing back up and looked down at him. "My name young one, is Helga Joan Hufflepuff." She replied with a small bow to him, the blonde following the same motion an informing him that her name was Rowena Ravenclaw. Harry started at them in a complete shock at hearing their names. The founders of his school lived over a thousand years ago, how was it possible to be speaking with them. The evident shock on Harry causing Rowena to arch her eyebrow at him.

"You've heard of us before this meeting young one?" She asked brushing her hair from her face as she watched him. Harry pulling himself quickly to his feet and backing away from them pulled out his wand and pointed it at them.The action giving Rowena and Helga the shocked expression in turn.

"How are you and what are you playing at?" Harry snapped in a cold tone, a few spells on the edge of his tongue. "Its really lame using names of two people who died a thousand years ago you know? Did the Potter's send you?" Harry barked again raising his wand high ready to duel, the women across from him flicked their wrist to bring a wand from their robes, a trick Harry decided he would soon learn.

"Calm down young one, we wish you no harm." Rowena said in a calm tone, though Harry could feel the magic around them both ripple. A trick he had gotten use to sensing from the Potters. Magic always seem to ripple whenever they were about to hex him, or hex something of his. The sudden flash back and the uncertainty in Harry causing him to fling a pen point laser thin beam at Rowena who quickly side stepped and began muttering something under her breath. But before Harry could focus in on her he was already ducking as a leg swung over his head. Thinking quickly he attempted a leg sweep just as hard as he could to knock the balance off of Helga, and bringing up a shield as he felt a wave of magic streaming towards him. His kick being successful didn't last long because Helga had shifted her falling weight onto one hand and brought it across his chest at the same time a spell broke through his shield and slammed into his stomach. The combination of the two sending him fly into the wall behind him with a nasty crunch. The last thing he saw before everything went black was the two smiling at him.
