Chapter Twenty Three: Follow Your Heart

Everyone watched astounded, as Cho's amulet glowed gold, and a gold glass sphere floated in front of her, as images of the English countryside flashed by. Then it stopped inside a field…a meadow. The meadow at Cho's home. It was buried underneath the earth, next to the roots of white lilies. Then images started flashing by again, lots of mountains. It stopped again, on a cottage at the top of a mountain. The cottage had a thatch roof covered in hay. The second piece of the prophecy was inside the cottage, on a roof beam. The image continued as a girl in a black cloak climbed up to the roof beam and took the parchment piece and stowed it away in her robes. There was only one piece that was still safe. The one in the meadow at the old Chang residence.

Cho opened her eyes, blinking, to adjust to the brightness of light in the room.

"I know where they are. One is at our old house…and the other…was taken…it must've been the angel of darkness's home. But I suggest we get it quickly because she might be after the other piece…so let's go." Cho said.

They nodded. Tai, Akira, Cho, Harry, Liam, Hermione, Ron, Sirius, Remus, and Dumbledore all placed their hands together. Cho and Harry thought of the meadow and the group disapparatated, and reappeared in the meadow. Tai, Akira, and Cho ran off. Cho's amulet was glowing.

"Wait…my amulet is showing the way…it glows brighter when we get closer to it, and darker when we're getting too far away…" Cho said.

They all huddled around, and Cho went into some sort of trance, closing her eyes once more, and tracing steps and walking straight to a patch of lilies. The ground started shaking a little and a small roll of parchment crawled up from the earth. Cho unrolled it, and opened her eyes again, reading what it said.

"Read it aloud!" Akira urged.

"It says: 'When the phoenix cries, the angels shall reveal their wings, flying and mystifying those around above in the air, and on the ground. But when the swords clash, light will flash, both will fall from sky, both of them wishing to die…from the darkness spawn's a star, one to glow even from afar. Take this gift, angel of the heavens, use it to defeat your foe. The final battle grows ever clear, and yet ever near, use caution, with this warning, be aware of some things that may or may not be there…' It doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the prophecy…" Cho read, slightly frowning.

"No it doesn't…but it is truth…" Dumbledore agreed.

"Yes…truth…" Tai, Remus, and Sirius agreed.

"What do they mean when they say that when the phoenix cries, the angels will reveal their wings?" Akira, Ron, Hermione, Liam, and Harry wondered.

"We cannot tell you…but you will find out in time…" Dumbledore answered.

"We should get back to the castle…" Tai said. "It's starting to get late…"

Dumbledore picked up a stone and turned it into a Portkey. He checked his watch.

"The Portkey leaves in thirty seconds. Everyone take hold." Dumbledore said, holding out the stone.

They all touched it with their fingertips, and Dumbledore was staring intently at his watch face.

"Ten…nine…eight…seven…" He counted. "six…five…four…three…two…one…"

They all felt a jerk somewhere behind their navel and they were spinning in a whirl of color, then they were back in Dumbledore's office, and everyone except, Dumbledore, Tai, Remus, and Sirius fell over onto the floor.

The six students flew in different directions. Akira and Liam had landed on their backs right next to each other, and they both stood up, and helped up the others. The two of them were walking, Liam in front of Akira. There was a bump in the floor and Akira tripped, falling onto Liam, knocking him over onto his back, and Akira pressing her lips against his. She blushed a deep red then got off of him and helped him up.

"Mez…I'm sorry…I'm a real klutz…" Akira whispered, blushing still and walking backwards towards the moving staircase.

Liam was also blushing and when he realized where Akira was going, it was too late.

"Aki! Look out!" He cried.

Akira fell down the stone steps, backwards, hitting her head on the last one. Liam rushed down the stairs, three at a time.

"Aki, are you alright? Are you hurt?" He asked concerned.

"Ohhh…I see one Mez…two Mez…oh look! Six Mez!" Akira replied, in a dazed, far off voice.

"How many fingers am I holding up?" Liam asked.

He held up two fingers and Akira looked at his hand.

"Four…" Akira answered. "Wait…"

She gave her head a little shake.

"Two. Sorry…" She said.

"Good…ok, how about now?" Liam replied, now holding up six fingers.

"Six." She answered. "And there's only one of you now…the other five disappeared…" she added.

"She's ok!" Liam called to Cho and Tai.

He helped her up.

"That was quite a bad fall…" Liam said to Akira.

"Well, Mez, it's just…well, you know what happened…just kind of shocked me…that's all…" Akira replied.

"Yeah…I know…" Liam replied.

Ron was whistling at them from across the room.

"Shut up before I bash your nose in!" Akira snapped at him.

Ron was snickering.

"You finally got to kiss her Liam!" Ron said loudly, laughing his head off.

Akira scowled and gritted her teeth, and was about to charge at him when Liam put his hand on her shoulder.

"Just let it go, Aki…it's not worth getting mad about…" Liam said.

"You're right…You're always right about everything, Mez…" Akira replied, sighing.

Liam grinned at her. It wasn't his usual smile…it was a smile that held adoration…and his eyes sparkled and held something new. Love. Akira noticed she was staring at him for a while, and looked away and her face tinged pink.

"Well, you all may leave now…" Dumbledore said.

The six students nodded and exited the headmaster's office, followed by Tai, Remus, and Sirius. Classes were over and dinner was just ending. No one seemed to be hungry. Besides, they could always take a trip to the school kitchen and visit Dobby and his friends and get some free food there.

Everyone went to sleep without a fuss. They knew they'd need it after all the things they had learned that day. Cho was sleeping soundlessly, she no longer felt cold and bitter. But her sleep was troubled by a dream. She was fighting someone with a sword. She was blocking attacks from whoever she was fighting against. Then she left her stomach uncovered, and the one she was fighting took the shot and plunged the sword into her stomach. She keeled over and started dying. Cho awoke in a cold sweat, and realized it was morning. The dream had been so real…she checked her stomach to make sure that her dream wasn't a reality and she really had been stabbed. There was nothing there. No blood or imprint of anything being there. She quietly dressed into her robes and went downstairs into the common room. Then a thought crossed her mind. Friday was the Quidditch match.
