Author's Notes: Sorry if it took me a long time to upload this chapter. My friend and I are still trying to figure out how to make the story more interesting. This story took a sharp turn when I uploaded the third chapter. So please ignore my estimated chapter count on the author's notes in the second chapter.

Eve Granger: Sorry that I couldn't tell you the pronunciation. I don't know how I could sound it out using words. I'll try though… hopefully I could sound it out for you in the next chapter.

Daftlilme: Yep. You're definitely right.

The Lady Luthien: Well… That's one of them… I left two more. It's pretty obvious though. Knowing the ship I'm using usually gives it away.

Kirei Baka Kasumi: Thanks. I found Ginny sleeping on Malfoy's lap amusing as well. I'm glad you did too.

Helldarkangel1: I'm glad you like it. Thanks for reading.

Thanks again for the reviews! Even though I didn't answer some of them I really appreciate you reading this fic. Well… Here you go! Hope you like it!

Chapter 4: Letters

"Harry, you found anything yet?" Ginny asked. It was Sunday morning. Other students were either in Hogsmeade shopping or anywhere else but the library. Despite the library's emptiness, two people eagerly searched for a book that holds the answer to their questions.

"No, Gin. Have you asked Madam Pince about it?" he replied as he browsed through one of the books on the table.

"No, I didn't. She was busy when I approached the counter. Some students were waiting for the last minute to do their reports."

"I see." he said simply.

The two kept on searching but their efforts were all in vain. Even though they spent the whole afternoon in the library, they still found nothing. Harry was on the verge of giving up but not Ginny.

"This is hopeless, Gin. I have this feeling that maybe there is no legend incorporating that bracelet."

"But, Harry, I really want to know why my name's on it. I want to know if the legend does exist."

"Gin, we don't even know if the name carved on it has something to do with the legend. What if somebody just finds you attractive and plans to give you the bracelet as a gift. Have you ever looked at the situation like that?"

She pointed at herself and said incredulously, "Oh please! Who would find me, Ginny Weasley, the youngest Weasley attending Hogwarts attractive!"

Harry said something inaudible so she asked, "What's that, Harry?"

He just shook his head and said a simple "nothing" as he grabbed another book to continue their search.

"What are the two of you doing here?"

The two looked up and saw Hermione standing by the nearest shelf. She has books on her arms and a black sling bag on her shoulders. She walked up to them and dropped all her things with a loud thud.

"We were looking for something, Hermione." Ginny answered.

"Oh! I thought you guys went for another Hogsmeade trip. What are looking for?" she said curiously glancing at the book opened in front of Harry.

Ginny's face lit up. "Hermione! Why haven't I thought of asking you?"

Hermione just looked at her confused. "What are you talking about?"

"Of course! Hermione!" Harry exclaimed.

"Would someone please tell me what's going on?"

"Hermione, I want you to look at this." Ginny pulled up the sleeves of her robe revealing the Seiryuu.

Hermione looked at it as though she never saw it before. "Could you take it off, Gin, so I can have a closer look." Ginny unclasped it and handed it to her. She continued to stare at it as if she knows nothing about it. She touched the sapphire stones and looked up at them now with her eyes wide open.

"Gin, where did you get this? What you have here is a very rare artifact."

Ginny then supplied her details of how she got her hands of it. She told her of the night patrol and their visit to The Priscus. How she found out that there were actually four bracelets linked together and that the Seiryuu was one of them.

"So that's why were here. To find a book that contains the actual legend. Rebecca, the storeowner, only supplied us with little information."

"Gin, I did read something about the legend during my freshman year. If I recall correctly, the book was in the far end of the library. Come on!" she motioned them to follow her. Harry and Ginny quickly grabbed their stuff with them and followed Hermione who was now almost running.

Hermione stopped at the last few bookshelves of the library. It was dead quiet in this part of the library. No students were going as far back to get a book. A thin layer of dust can be found on some of the book shelves. Hermione quickly looked at the titles looking for a specific book.

"Hermione, I didn't know you're into books this much. You went as far as going to the far end just to find a book." Ginny said. Hermione just hushed her.

"Nobody can even hear us from here even if I scream." Ginny told her as she and Harry continue to follow her.

"Here! I found it!" Hermione raised a thick black book. The title Forgotten Legends was found glittering in silver writing. The book was very old covered in dust. She blew the dust away.

"Her… aaaa---ccchhooo…mione!" Harry said as he sneezed.

"Oops! Sorry Harry!" she apologized.

The three of them settled on the same table as before. Hermione quickly turned to the page where she read the old legend. Knowing the story already, she gave the book to Ginny and Harry who were sitting side by side. Harry and Ginny looked at the page. They saw four bracelets drawn on top of the page. One of them was of course similar to the bracelet she's currently wearing.

The Legend of the Four Gods

It was a time when very few wizards were living on earth. A muggle by the name of Michael was fond of hiking. On one of his trips on the mountain, he came across a stone flavescent in color. Amazed by the unique color of the stone, he placed it in his pocket. Michael was not only fond of hiking. He was deeply interested in alchemy as well. He believes that there are magical creatures and such.

In his laboratory, he tried to experiment with the stone that he found. He tossed a small piece on the fire and saw a yellowish glow radiating from it. Amazed by his discovery, he threw a larger piece onto the fire. A much brighter glow was emitted. As the days passed by, his curiosity grew. Unfortunately, an accident happened. Before eating, he placed the stone on the table near the fireplace. His cat jumped on the table and accidentally made the stone roll onto the fire. The fire emitted a blinding light. Afterwards, smoke filled up his house making it very hard for him to breathe. He quickly went in search of the exit. Soon, the smoke cleared out revealing a creature of pure evil. The creature stared up at him with yellow eyes when the fire swallowed him killing him instantly.

The creature was called Rinden, a demon captured by the wizard, Merlin. He was a special kind of demon. He uses the human soul as his source of energy very much like a dementor kissing his prey. Not satisfied with sucking the human soul, he kills the human body in such an unpleasant way. For this, he was punished by placing him trapped inside the flavescent stone. As soon as he got free, he started killing again. He was thirsty for blood. He was also on the go to seek revenge against Merlin himself. By that time the great wizard had already passed away leaving him free to do what he wants.

After sometime, four wizards decided to go to Merlin's castle. In his underground chamber, they came across four stones having an unusual shade. They were bluish, reddish, greenish, and clear in color which we now identified as the sapphire, ruby, emerald, and diamond stones. These precious stones hold four legendary creatures that when combined possess amazing powers. Merlin saved them just incase something bad was to happen in the wizarding world. The four spiritual creatures were Seiryuu, the blue dragon, Suzaku, the red phoenix, Genbu, the green turtle, and Byakko, the white tiger.

The four tried to release the creatures but they were afraid that they would not be able to control them as well. One of the four has a gifted ability. She was able to control all four by freeing them from the stone taking all four of them inside her body. She fought with Rinden with the four spiritual creatures inside her. After the long battle, she won. Sadly after releasing huge amounts of energy, she died from exhaustion.

Only small fragments of the stones remain after the creatures were released. The remaining three decided to place the biggest fragments they found on the bracelet. They made an elaborate design of the creature and placed the stones as their eyes. The bracelets were passed on to their children as an heirloom. The bracelet that was supposed to be in the possession of the one who died was brought to her family. The four old wizarding families were said to have been protecting the bracelets until now. They believed that as the years goes by the power of the bracelets continues to grow. Many have tried to gain all four but never succeeded.

"Fascinating." Ginny said.

"It still doesn't say anything about the name on the bracelet, Gin." Harry told her.

"The name was probably a recent carving on the bracelet." Hermione said in a knowing voice.

"I don't know, Hermione. I don't want us to give conclusions like that right away." Ginny replied.

"I guess you're right."

Harry and Ginny left the library afterwards leaving Hermione alone. The two decided to spend their few more hours of the afternoon to practice Quidditch. They took their equipments out from the locker rooms. They tried to switch places as a chaser and keeper. Ginny was their best chaser so she easily got pass him and scored a goal. The game continued until the score became 80 to 20 in favor of Ginny. Just as they were about to land to the ground an owl flew by giving Ginny a letter.

Go to the library after classes tomorrow.

That was all there was. Ginny was puzzled as to who sent it to her. Who could be this from? The person didn't even bother to leave their name.

"What does it say, Gin?" Harry asked.

"It just says 'go to the library after classes tomorrow'."

"Who is it from?"

"I don't know. The person didn't leave any name in."

"Whoever it was… I sure know that he or she didn't want you to find out his or her identity. The person used a school owl instead of his or her own."

That night, Harry and Ginny went up the stairs heading for the Common Room. They told each other that they're going to retire for the night. They were both tired after going through so many books in the library. They were both contented after reading about the legend.

"Gin!" somebody called. She turned around and saw Ron standing by the fireplace. She saw a letter and a small box in his hand.

"What is it, Ron?" she asked as he walked towards her.

"This came in with my letter. It's from mom." he thrusts the package in her hands then walked away afterwards.

She hurried upstairs to her dorm room to read the note. After entering her dorm room, she plopped onto her bed. She ripped her mom's letter eager to hear news from back home.

Dear Ginny,

How are you, dear? I hope you're doing alright. Your dad and I planned on giving this to you for your 16th birthday months ago but he decided against it. He still thinks that you're not ready to receive it. I convinced him to give it to you anyway. Take good care of this, dear. This is the family heirloom. Take care and I'll see you in December.

Love,

Mom.

She looked at the small package that came with the letter from home. Family heirloom? I never knew we had one. She shrugged. Oh well. A faint thud was heard after she opened the box. She stared shocked at her gift that was now lying on the cold floor. A phoenix with ruby eyes was engraved on the golden bracelet. Beside it was the name…
