The next morning Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny and I made our way to the Quidditch pitch. Ron and Ginny both had one of the light weapons.
"Why are you coming?" Ron asked Hermione as we walked. She had a book under arm, one I had seen her reading more then Hogwarts; a history lately. I had finally asked her were she got it and she told me she found it after she had punched Xelloss.
"Because I want to see this spell and besides my friends are in this so why shouldn't I?" Hermione countered him. Ron just shrugged his shoulders.
As we neared the pitch we could see McGonagall, Filla, Dumbledore, Xelloss, Lina, Gourry, Zelgadis, and Amelia. They looked to be discussing something.
"You ready?" I asked Harry.
"No," he said shacking his head his green eyes filled with worry.
"Don't worry Harry you'll do fine," Hermione told him smiling. Harry returned the smile and the worry seem to just disappear.
'Hey Ron I those two really need to stop flirting and just get it over with,' I told him. Ron's only reply was to laugh.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Oh nothing just thought of something funny," Ron replied quickly as we arrived in front of the teachers.
"Alright everyone know what to do?" Dumbledore asked and we all nodded. "Good, now let's get started." With that Gourry, Zelgaids, Fila, and Amelia went in one direction while Hermione and Xelloss in another. Dumbledore, McGonagall, Ron, Ginny made a circle around Harry, Lina and I. They had the four light weapons while Lina held the last one. Harry was on Lina's left while I was on her right. Gourry and the others were on the left while Hermione was sitting reading the book to my right.
"Now, Lina you do remember what we told you about the prediction," Dumbledore said.
"Yeah, even though we still don't understand half of it. Don't worry," Lina replied and Dumbledore just nodded while activating the light weapon. As soon as he did the other did too.
"Alright you two are next," Lina said. Harry and I just nodded and started to pull upon the power of dark and light. Harry the dark and I the light.
"Fly true and straight to seal away the darkness that has been released. To return things back to their natural state." Lina said as a very small white light was in front of her. Harry and I released the power that we had mostly because I couldn't keep it any longer, and Dumbledore, Ron, Ginny, and McGonagall fired the light weapons. Harry and my power was to merge with each other and the light weapons but it didn't. It split into two. That's when the disaster struck. Harry's power hit Lina while mine hit Hermione.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
"HERMIONE! LINA!" was shouted. I looked at Hermione she was now on the ground and was bleeding very badly. Several feet away from her lay the book she had brought with her and Xelloss rubbing the back of his head. I ran to Hermione with Harry right behind me.
"Oh no! Hermione!" Harry said.
"Come on recovery spell," I said and Harry just agreed. I dared to look back towards Lina. Over her was Fila, Amelia, Zelgadis, and Gourry holding her head. Ron, and Ginny looked terrified along with McGonagall.
"Ron you git! Help us!" I yelled at him. This shook him out of his shock and he came running.
"You're not going to die on us," I heard Harry say as Ron joined us. We had got the blood stopped and hopefully she was going to be alright. I rested back on my heals as so did Ron. Harry checked her wrist for a pulse. Once he found it he nodded and sighed relived.
"Ugg…" Hermione said as she opened her eyes a few minutes later.
"Are you ok?" we all three chimed. She looked at us blinking for a moment before nodding yes.
"Do you think it was because Galvary didn't work?" Dumbledore asked Xelloss.
"No, it would have shot in more directions if so. No we had the wrong caster," Xelloss replied. Dumbledore raised his eye brows and looked towards us.
"It also seems that we have something else wrong but I can't place it," Xelloss said and I noticed that his eyes were open.
"Well as we think this over Granger and Inverse I suggest that you rest for the rest of the day if not the rest of the weekend," Dumbledore said as Harry and I helped Hermione to her feet, Harry on one side while I was on the other.
Harry, Hermione, Ron, Ginny and I made our way back up to the castle. Once inside we ran into the worst kind of trouble Cho.
"Oh isn't that touching, you and Blondie helping out your lousy mudblood bookworm friend," Cho sneered at us.
"Your just jealous Cho, oh wait your not jealous you're just a slut that can't get any," I said as we pushed past her.
"What did you call me bit.." Cho said behind my back. Before I had a chance to react my legs locked and I toppled over taking Harry and Hermione with me. I looked up to see Cho with her wand ready. Ginny and Ron pulled out their wands but before they even get them out Draco stood in between Cho and I.
"Leave them alone," he growled.
"Ahh look at that protecting your little blond lover?" Cho questioned.
"No, for your information I'm protecting those that saved my life and my cousin!" Draco growled. All activity in the hall stopped and was now looking at us.
"Your cousin?" Cho choked out as I just hung my head.
"Saved your life?" someone else chocked out.
"You have a cousin!" Crabb questioned shocked. Others were wondering about the saved life part and questions of every kind were being thrown out. I just laid on the floor with my eyes closed. 'Please tell me that this isn't happening,' I muttered.
'Alright it isn't happening,' Hermione told me sounding a little different then normal. I just looked at her and she gave me a slight smile back, I just sighed.
"Who is your cousin! It better not be that mudblood Granger!" some Slytherin yelled.
"WATCH WHAT YOU SAY BAS…" I yelled at the Slytherin.
"It is Granger!?" another voice yelled.
"Yuck!! I don't think so!" Hermione said.
"Maybe he's really related to Potter!"
"No, you guys are all idiots! Who the heck even looks like him!" I yelled finally getting to my feet after Harry so kindly released the leg locker curse. The whole hall stopped and just looked at us for a long moment.
"Are you guys blind!" Ron suddenly yelled which got him into a slight fight with an older Slytherin.
"Shess! You guys are really stupid!" I said as I helped Hermione up along with Harry and we continued our way to the Gryffindor common room.
"WAIT DRACO'S BEEN HITTING ON HIS COUSIN!" we heard as we closed the fat lady portrait.
"I'm glad that's been taken care of," I said as we walked into the common room.
We spent the rest of the day resting. People kept asking me about Draco, if I was really his cousin.
"Yes for the last time! Draco is my cousin!" I said exasperated as Harry and Ron sat down next to me. Hermione was up in her room sleeping.
"Hey Amber do remember what Dumbledore said this morning," Harry asked.
"Yeah he said to remember the prediction, she replied saying something like they still didn't understand half of it," I replied.
"Yeah so I got this from Lavender," Ron said holding up a piece of paper.
"In shadows the darkness moves, bringing with it old enemies and forgotten foes. New and old will join as one to bring about the end. The five must come together once more, while the path is wound in another direction. Straight as an arrow must the power fly, as love has sealed it within a new vessel. A mysterious priest will bring defeat while those divided must stand together or fall while apart. A new star born to unite the powers of dark and light, only to have the inner flame extinguished."
"Wait a sec," I said grabbing and rereading the prediction.
"What?" Ron and Harry questioned.
"Well there is this about old and new will become as one to end it. Lina and them must be the old and we are the new."
"The five must be the weapons," Harry said.
"But the path is wound in other direction?"
"Love has sealed it within a new vessel," Ron said.
"That's it!!!" Xelloss said popping up behind us. "One problem solved but then who else could…" he trailed off.
"Hey Amber look at this," Harry said pointing to a line as we ignored Xelloss. "A mysterious priest will bring defeat while those divided must stand together or fall while apart. Do you think that is you and Draco?"
"Well we have been divided," I said thinking.
"Humm….maybe…." Xelloss said again.
"You mind letting us in?" Ron asked.
"Nope that's a secret," Xelloss replied then disappeared.
"He is really annoying!" I gripped.
"Yeah but apparently he knows something we don't," Harry said.
"Yeah but what? I mean Galvray doesn't work any more…wait love has sealed it in a new vessel that's it."
"What's it?" Ron asked.
"The weapon the light has been sealed into something else!" I said.
"But what?" Harry asked.
"Yeah that's the big question," Ron said and I just nodded. I looked around the room to see that we were the only ones left in the room. I looked into the fire getting lost in it's flames.
"Not what, who," Hermione said suddenly startling us.
"Hermione," Harry and Ron said.
"What do you mean Hermione?" I asked. She just smiled and shrugged her shoulders. There was something slightly different about her. I couldn't place it but there was defiantly something different about her. We didn't talk long after that before going to bed.
'Hermione are you ok?' I asked her as we got into bed.
'I'm fine, just need some sleep,' she replied before she closed the curtains on her bed. The rest of the weekend was uneventful. The only thing that was really on the mind of the Hogwarts students was the fact that Draco had not only defended Harry but also let out the fact that we were related. I almost felt bad for him, almost.
"Hey have you seen Xelloss?" Harry asked as we all headed for class on Monday.
"No I haven't," I replied as Hermione had her nose stuck in a book.
"Hey Hermione you're going to read the words right off the pages," Ron told her as we walked into class. She just looked at him before going back to reading the book.
'There's something different about Hermione,' Harry said.
'She seems the same to me,' Ron replied as he sat down.
'I know what you mean Harry, just can't put my finger on it,' I replied.
Classes went normal and it seemed that everything was back to normal that was until Harry and I were walking with Hermione back to the common room a few days later. Xelloss popped out of nowhere yet again. He was about to say something to Hermione when he stopped, opened his eyes looked at her then bowed as she walked past him glaring.
"Uh…Harry did I just see that?" I asked him rooted to the floor.
"If you saw what I did yeah," Harry replied just as shocked as I was.
'Hey what are you two staring at?' Ron asked coming up behind us.
"Uh nothing, just uh…nothing," I said coming out of my shock. Harry wasn't far behind me in coming out of his shock and we had only taken two steps when Harry's name was called.
"Wait we need to do something," Lina said slightly out of breath. Behind her was Gourry, Zelagdis, Amelia and Dumbledore.
"What is it?" Ron asked.
"Here," Lina said shoving Goranova into Ron's arms.
"What am I to do with this?" he asked.
"Try to use it you moron!" Lina yelled glaring at him, while Dumbledore just looked at Lina. She seemed to shrink a little then said. "We are testing a theory, activate it."
"Uh oh ok, Light come forth!" Ron said shrugging his shoulders before holding Galvery up. Nothing happened, no light, no spark no nothing.
"Lanobi," Lina turned to me. I did the same as Ron and the same reaction absolutely nothing.
"Alright Harry would you please," Dumbledore said and I handed it over to Harry.
Harry just looked and turned it over in his hands for a bit before saying, "Light come forth!" as soon as he did Glavray sparked but that was it. But none of us were paying attention to Galyvera any more. Harry's scar had turned white and some how there was a breeze ruffling his hair. Harry dropped Galverya and raised his hands to his scar and went down on one knee.
"Harry!" Ron, and I yelled as we rushed to his side.
"Then it is true, I never imagined that had happened," Dumbledore mused. Ron and I looked up to see not only Dumbledore but Xelloss.
"So you see that was part of our problem. The fifth weapon was not broken it has just been transferred from the weapon to young Harry Potter," Xelloss said. That is when it finally made sense.
"So that's what it meant! The path is wound in another direction and love has sealed it within a new vessel," I said.
"Yes," Xelloss answered.
"And that is me?" Harry crocked out.
"Yes, it seems that your mother's love did more for you then previously thought," Dumbledore said.
"But what about…" Harry started.
"I don't think he could have gotten any of it. Like the light weapon itself only when called upon can you get the power. Apparently you unconsciously called upon it when you were fighting Lucius."
"Is that why he couldn't touch the other weapons?" Ron asked.
"Yes, when the light weapons fight each other they cancel each other out, plus they call to each other. I suspect that's why you were having such a hard time around the other weapons," Dumbledore said with a smile.
"But Professor then who is to do what Harry was training to do?" I asked.
"What about who is to cast it?" Harry asked.
"Mr. Malfoy has taken on the challenge of being trained by Xelloss," Dumbledore said.
"That's scary," I muttered.
"What was that Lanobi?" Xelloss asked. I just smiled not saying anything.
"We believe that Miss Granger is the caster. Lina will help her," McGonagall answered the other question.
"Oh Lanobi, I would like a word with you," Lina said as she grabbed my arm and lead me away the others.
"Yes professor," I said.
"You know to call me Lina, any way, I want you to start wearing your talismans, just under your robes. I'm sure that no one will know," Lina told me.
"Ok, do you want me to tell Hermione too?" I answered.
"Yeah, I just have a bad feeling about this and I want you guys to have as much power as possible," Lina said. I just nodded.
"May I go?" I asked after a moment. She just nodded and I headed off. I walked into the common room to see Harry and Ron playing a game of chess there were a few other students doing homework. I walked up to Seamus.
"Hey, Seamus have you seen Hermione?" I asked him.
"Yeah she went up to her room," he replied blushing.
"Thanks," I replied patting him on the shoulder before headed up to the room.
'Playing with the poor boy's feelings?' Ron asked.
'How am I to know? I don't know anything about that now do I?' I replied innocently, while Harry and Ron just snickered as I walked up the stairs.
"Hey Hermione," I said as I walked in. She was sitting on her bed reading like normal.
"Yes," she answered not looking up.
"Lina wants us to wear our talismans," I told her.
"Ok," Hermione replied. I just looked at her again. There was something wrong but what I didn't know what.
'Oh you do know that they are wanting you to do the casting of this spell,' I said after a second as one of the other girls walked in.
'Yes, Dumbledore and Lina talked to me earlier today,' Hermione replied sounding like she was far away.
'That and we found out that Harry has the fifth weapon inside of him,' I added.
'So that's why he fainted every time he came close to one of the other weapons,' Hermione replied while I just nodded.
"Amber do you have that history book still?" she suddenly asked.
"Uh no I gave it back to McGonagall," I replied.
"Oh ok," Hermione replied as she went back to her book. I sat on my bed going over and finishing the homework that we had. It wasn't due and till the end of next week but I wanted it done just in case.
