Chapter Eleven:
Tournament Intel
"Sir, he's going to be the tournament!" said an Asian witch in sapphire robes.
"And what of the others?" asked a man with glasses, who was dressed in black and red robes and had black hair. "They could be a problem."
"Our associate in Britain says he may have found a way of neutralizing him and his allies," said the witch.
"We must be certain; he wields awesome power, so we must take every precaution necessary," said the man.
"What of the Bulgarian? Can he be trusted?" asked the witch.
"Olan says he can for now, but he is still uncertain," the man told her, "He can probably be persuaded if we can convince a certain Muggleborn he is known to have a soft spot for.
"He has great knowledge of the Dark Arts James, the other side will want him as well," said the witch.
"We'll just have to make sure that doesn't happen Angelina," said James.
"So am I to assume that we will ask the others to assist in our cause?" asked Angelina.
"We don't have a choice, that's why we're going to enter the tournament, we must get to Harry Potter before they do," said James, "I believe he's the key to everything."
"Why is Potter so important?" asked Angelina.
"There was a tome that was once in our possession that described a bonding such as Potter's called the Phoenix Tear," explained James, "Speaking of that, what did you find at the Ruglia Mansion?"
"Just this old tome," replied Angelina. He took the tome from her and glanced over it.
"This is exactly what we were looking for," said James, "This tome better describes the Phoenix Tear. It even has a few specifics not even mentioned in that old journal that had once been in our possession. Apparently, the Phoenix Tear not only grants certain 'special abilities' but marks a person as a 'Chosen', who has the capability to confront the Supreme Dark Lord. If he is able to be turned, however, he would be a great and powerful asset."
"What do you think this means?" asked Angelina.
"It means a turning point in the war is coming soon," said James, "and Potter IS the key to everything. It appears Mr. Potter has a purpose in our ranks after all."
