Author's Notes: Thanks for the reviews. They made my day. They inspired me to continue this story even if sometimes I don't feel like doing it anymore. I also incorporated things from Fushigi Yuugi. Well… here's the next chapter. Enjoy!

To EVE Granger: As for the person who "dropped" the bracelet, I think the answer would be somewhat obvious after you read this chapter.

Chapter 3: Seiryuu

Dear Diary,

Oh my God! I'm so tired! I had patrolled the halls, talked to Hermione about her problem, and I just finished all my homework! I feel like sleeping but I have to tell you this. I had an encounter with MALFOY earlier this evening! My bracelet was caught in his robes. Damn this bracelet! Hopefully I don't get into anymore trouble with it. The Malfoy incident was bad enough! Here's what happened…

Malfoy scowled seeing that his precious robe is being ruined by the chain of my bracelet. "Weasley, get that bloody thing removed from my robe." he said glaring.

I struggled removing my bracelet. It wasn't easily trying to remove it using only one hand you know. I wanna get away from him as far as possible. I don't want to do something that I would regret. Unfortunately, the bracelet was not cooperating with me.

"Here Weasley! Let me do it!" he said almost yelling. He grabbed my left hand and moved my sleeves up. Surprisingly, he wasn't that rough during the whole process. I thought he won't care whether he broke the bones in my hand just to remove the bracelet.

After what seemed like eternity, for me it is, he was able to remove it. The weird thing is that he stared at the bracelet for a couple of seconds before letting my hand go. Could he be the one running on the dark hallway that night? Is that the reason that he stared at it? He is a Slytherin after all. They're supposed to be sneaky and always break the rules right? Oh well… I think I'm being prejudiced with all of them. Hey! They deserve it. Besides, one of them even tried to kill me!

Yours,

Ginevra Molly Weasley

The next day…

"Gin, How's Hermione?" Harry asked as he and Ginny walked towards the Hogwarts grounds where the carriages were waiting. It was a sunny yet cold Saturday morning of November.

"She's pretty upset about the whole Ron thing happening. I went to talk to her last night before sleeping. She just told me that she doesn't feel like talking about it. Harry, I don't know what to do to help her." A cold wind swept passed them sending shivers down her spine. She moved closer to Harry and he did the same.

"Same here, Gin. I feel bad for Hermione." he said as he placed his arm around her shoulders.

They continued to walk on the school grounds until they found several carriages driven by invincible "horses". They approached them and tried to walk in only to find it already occupied by two other people: Blaise Zabini and his friend Draco Malfoy.

Seeing that something bad might happen, Ginny pulled Harry away and said, "Harry, let's just take another one."

Harry glared at Draco and Blaise for a moment and then looked at Ginny. "Alright, Gin. I don't want to do something that I might regret."

All of a sudden Professor McGonagall came out of no where. "Mr. Potter, Ms. Weasley, I suggest that you enter the carriage now so this one could leave." The two reluctantly followed her request. The carriage can be occupied by four people two on each side. Draco was sitting on the right while Blaise was sitting on the other. She decided to sit on Draco's side seeing that disaster would happen if Harry was to sit with him. When she and Harry got settled in their seats, the carriage began to move. She could've sworn that for a fleeting moment she saw Blaise smirking at Draco's direction.

The carriage was dead silent. This was highly unusual for Draco not saying something bad about me or Harry for once. Wonder what's up with him today. she said to herself. She shifted in her seat wanting to be as far away from him as possible. His smell proved to be intoxicating. As the journey continued, she drifted off to sleep.

"Potter, do something!" she heard Blaise say. She opened her eyes only to find herself lying on Draco's lap! Her eyes opened wide as saucers. She sat up and felt her face growing hot.

"Gin!" Harry said in a loud voice.

She mumbled a sorry to Draco. After sensing that the carriage pulled up to a stop, Ginny grabbed Harry's hand and dragged him out. She continued to drag him until they reached Honeyduke's.

"Harry! Why didn't you wake me up!" She practically yelled at him.

"Gin, I know you didn't get enough sleep last night. I saw you still doing your homework till midnight. You need a rest. I don't even know why you insist on coming here even though you're exhausted."

"But, Harry, it's MALFOY!"

"I know but seeing that you're sleeping peacefully, I told them not to wake you up. Well… not really. Threatening them is more like it."

"Thanks but next time if it's MALFOY wake me up! Damn!" she cursed.

"Sorry, Gin. I know I should have." he said apologetically.

"I'm sure he's going to taunt me for this." she hissed.

"I'm going to kill him if he does. Now stop thinking about it and let's go to Honeyduke's." he motioned her to the shop where most of the students were headed.

The door chimed announcing Harry and Ginny's entrance to The Priscus. The Priscus is an antique shop situated near the Shrieking Shack. The shop was empty except for a couple entertained by an old man. As they continued to look around, they were greeted by a middle aged woman.

"Hello, dears. My name's Rebecca. How may I help you?" she said with a smile as she walks up to them.

"Um… Hi! My name's Harry and this is Ginny. Ginny was wondering if you guys could take a look at something for her." Harry said.

"Sure! Come let's take a seat." she pointed at the table with a couple of chairs near the armor statue.

"Gin, you go ahead and talk to her. I'm going to look around the shop." he said.

Ginny only answered with a nod. Then, she followed Rebecca to the chairs. When they were comfortably sitting, Ginny took off her bracelet and handed it to her. Rebecca studied it carefully analyzing every detail. She thought before a moment before her face lit up.

"Ginny, where did you found this?"

"I found it lying on the floor after chasing somebody."

"Ginny, what you have here is the Seiryuu." she said while pointing at the golden object on her palm.

"Seiryuu?"

"Yes, the Seiryuu. The Seiryuu is one of four bracelets wherein the dragon was engraved on it and has the Sapphires as its eyes. The other three are the Suzaku, Genbu, and the Byakko. The Suzaku has the phoenix, the Genbu has the turtle, and the Byakko has the tiger. According to some, they were owned by the Four Founders of Hogwarts but I doubt that. Now, the bracelets were owned by old wizarding families passed on from one generation to the next."

"Do you know who those wizarding families are?"

"Sorry. I do not know. I wish I knew too. All I know is this. This is a very rare artifact. Many have searched and failed to complete all four."

"Why?" she asked confused.

"A legend was based on the existence of the four bracelets. Unfortunately, only a few knows about it. Only those that seek it know."

"I see… Can you tell me something why there was name engraved on it?"

"That I do not know. Maybe the legend will help you, dear."

"Thank you!" she said as she stands up shaking Rebecca's hand.

"You're welcome." she said.

Ginny told Harry about what she found out as they walked towards Three Broomsticks. Harry found the whole legend thing fascinating. He agreed to help her look in the library the next day about the legend behind it.

"Ginny, I'm a bit worried about the whole thing though." he said as they took their seats.

"Why?"

"If the lady said that many people are after it then it could be dangerous for you holding one of them."

"Harry, how big of a trouble will one bracelet cause?"
