Harry

After we had finished eating Lady Greenwood and one of the male staff members moved to sit on our table and Lady Greenwood sat just next to Hermione, the man sat next to Ember. Lady Greenwood smiled at us then said, "After the feast you will stay behind and follow me for the tests. Ember we know yours so you might as well just come and watch." At this moment everyone looked at Ember who just smiled then gestured to the tree and said, "That's around as much as I can do thanks to my dryad heritage. My other talent is magical forging." The man smiled then said, "I'm Sir Camino I teach forging techniques. I guess you don't know human, centaur and goblin style forging." Ember replied, "No I only know Fey techniques of forging though I have a book from the goblins and something I wish to do first." Sir Camino nodded and looked at Lady Greenwood then asked, "May I offer to be Ember's tutor?" Lady Greenwood smiled and replied, "I was going to stick you together anyway. Ember the box you brought with you. Everything you need is already prepared." Ember in reply nodded solomly then said, "I may be the only one able to do what they want but, won't they..." Lady Greenwood in reply said, "It was their choice. You know what it was once. Place the stones back into their ancient holding places. For that is your duty." Lady Greenwood stood up and vanished in a swirl of white smoke. Sir Camino smiled then said, "I'll see you all at the testing and choosing." He then vanished in a swirl of black smoke.

Everyone looked at Ember who said, "I was given a piece of work to remount ten stones on ten rings after the stone had been broken again. The problem is without the full stone the owners of it will die. The stone before you ask is the Philosophers stone." At this Draco and Neville both gasped. I looked at Draco who just said, "The philosophers stone is the only ingredient in the Elixer of Youth. It makes the owners immortal... You have ten pieces of it!" Ember merely glared at him then said, "It will not become the Philosophers stone again and work without all twelve pieces. The ten pieces I have are to go where they came from. The original rings of knights." She then stood up abruptly and vanished in a swirl of an odd dark green colour. I looked at Neville who just said, "She's raised by the Dryads and fey. She gave her word to do as the owners asked. That is the same to her as giving an unbreakable vow." At this I looked at Hermione in confusion, she added, "Unbreakable Vow is a promise that if you break, you well, die." I looked at Hermione who just nodded sadly then wacked Draco on the head telling him off for being an idiot.

The other students left but not before an older student who seemed to be in Le Fey house stepped in front of Luna and said, "My Lady. Our house is at your disposable." She then left following the rest of her house towards the castle and their tower. A member of Camelot house came and bowed to Ginny and said, "My lady. Your word is our command." He left leading his house towards their tower. I looked at Ginny to see her looking rather shocked. Luna's glow had dimmed but then I saw that Ember had appeared at the doors. She smiled then went inside the castle. I stood up and helped Luna up. Draco helped Hermione and said, "My lady." She blushed slightly then I saw Ginny was being helped up by Neville. She smiled at me then said, "We're our own people, not our ancestors that is what I was told by Genevieve." Neville blushed slightly and I looked at Draco who had a smirk on his face. I noticed that Jacob was helping Marina up. Orion had already gone over to where Ember had walked in. I held out my arm to Luna and she took it. Her glow came back and we walked together up the stairs where the hall was waiting along with our new teachers. We walked towards the door that opened up to reveal Ember and Orion standing kneeling in front of different teachers. Ember kneeled in front of Sir Camino and said, "Harry come forward with Luna." I saw everyone looking shocked as well as Orion. I stepped forward with Luna and noticed that we had stepped into a star sign similar to the one of the pavement where we had been sorted. Luna let my arm go and I rose into the air and I saw lightning crackle in my hands. I smiled and let it then saw I was glowing like Luna. Lady Greenwood stepped forward and held out her hand, I landed and fell on the floor. I took Lady Greenwood's offered hand then smiled at Luna. Luna smiled and she relaxed. She glowed white like me but it was fainter, she then opened her eyes to reveal they had gone an unearthly green, the entire eye. Rachel stepped forward and Luna opened her mouth, the voice that spoke wasn't Luna it was older,

"The one to defeat the Dark Lord approaches.

Born to those thrice defied him.

Born as the seventh month.

The Dark Lord shall mark him as his equal.

Neither can live as other survives."

Luna landed and Rachel helped her to her feet. I looked at Draco to see he had paled rather dramatically . He mouthed the word, 'no.' I looked at him in confusion but he shook his head and mouthed the word, 'later'.

Luna smiled dreamily then looked at Neville and Ginny and said, "Your next." Neville stepped forward with Ginny and saw Neville glow white like Luna had and float slightly but not too high. Before he landed a large rock came out of the floor and Neville landed. Lady Greenwood smiled and held her hand for him, he jumped down. Ginny looked at Neville, she was terrified. I smiled and saw Luna nod. Ginny relaxed and her arms burst into flames. Lady Greenwood was about to step forward but Lady Astoria stepped forward, a small fireball lit in her hands. Ginny took her hand when she fell to the floor.

Draco stepped forward next with Hermione. Draco lifted in the air and I saw that around his eyes he had a blue glow. Also around his head a sort of white crown he landed and it faded. Rachel stood forward and helped Draco up. Hermione then rose in the air and around her head appeared a sort of purpled light. Another women stepped forward and I saw the same purple glow appeared around her head and Hermione's voice whispered in my mind, 'Harry?' I smiled and thought back, 'relax.' She landed and the women helped you up. Lady Greenwood smiled and said, "She's Miss Madeline she teaches wizarding and muggle studies."

Jacob stepped up next with Marina. Marina glowed a faint blue and a swirl of water appeared around her. I smiled and saw another women step forward and the water vanished. Marina accepted the woman's hand and Lady Greenwood smiled and said, "Countessa. She teaches Astronomy." Jacob rose in the air as wind seemed to swirl around him, I saw Lady Greenwood smile and she stepped forward, floating slightly off the ground. She helped Jacob up then she walked over to me and Neville with Jacob following. She smiled then said, "Follow me." We followed her towards a painting where a woman stood seemingly guarding the entrance. The painting smiled down at me then said, "Welcome heir of Arthur." The painting swung aside to reveal an office. We walked in and saw there was a desk with a chair behind it. In front of the desk sat three chairs. Lady Greenwood smiled then said, "You need to choose three electives. As your guardian at the school and head of house the door is always open to my dragons. Anyway, I would recommend combat lessons especially since Ember seems determined to forge a weapon for you all." I looked at Lady Greenwood she handed me a leaflet that had a bunch of classes on it.

Combat lessons

Politics

Blood magic

Wards

Runes

Care of Magical creatures

I smiled then said, "Can I please take Combat lessons, Politics and Blood magic please." Lady Astoria smiled then said, "Of course. How peculiar..." She muttered the last part to herself and I gave Neville the leaflet and he said, "Same as Harry." Jacob then took the leaflet then after thinking said, "Wards, Runes and Combat lessons." Lady Greenwood smiled then said, "I expect good reports from you all. And good progress when we work on your elemental talents. Here is a map of the school grounds." She handed it to me and I saw that the map was coloured in different sections. I saw the castle outline and then there were the stables and a huge free space. On the map there was also a lake and forest. A spiritual place and the botany classrooms were marked. I handed it over to Neville who smiled then shyly asked, "Um... Lady Greenwood. Can I have a small plot of land?" Lady Greenwood thought for a moment and said, "You will have to ask Lord Travis he teaches Botany. Prove yourself and I'm sure he will let you."

Jacob looked at the leaflet after Neville handed it to him then said, "Bet Ember spends most of her time in the forest making a forge there." Lady Greenwood smiled then said, "Ember will have to. Our school forges are not magical forges. She will probably build one from the earth with your help Neville, now... here are your time tables."
