Chapter 13: New Abilities and Figuring out the egg
A rock golem slammed his fist in the ground. Samantha barely dodged it, but she recovered and went at the creature with her sword, slashing it in half. Then she quickly turned to stab the golem behind her right through its center.
Today was Saturday; Samantha decided to do a lot more training with Grandpa since the Elementals got their super abilities. Today Grandpa had her training in combat, since most of their training sessions were focused on magic, combat was something that Samantha used a lot in her training sessions with Grandpa.
Samantha was wearing her winter battle uniform which consisted of a red t-shirt, wrist length black fingerless gloves, black camouflage cargo pants, and gray sneakers.
"Well done Samantha, you're combat skills have improved one hundred fold." Grandpa stated.
"Thank you Grandpa." She replied.
"You're learning how to use your super speed very well; it can be quite difficult to learn how to use it properly in combat." Grandpa commented.
"Grandpa, I need to ask you, are these super abilities the last of the surprises?" Samantha questioned.
"I'm afraid not child. Since you are strong enough now, I believe it's time for you to know the next level of your powers." Merlin stated.
"Next level, what do you mean?" Samantha asked.
"You are all strong enough and have the power to become fully elemental." Merlin replied.
"What exactly does that mean?" Samantha questioned.
"You five actually have the ability to become your elements, once you do that you'll reach maximum power, but it will be difficult for you to return to your human forms." Grandpa explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Samantha asked.
"Once you become fully elemental, you're not human anymore. You don't feel pain, joy, sadness, or any other emotion; you're minds are completely free. So you aren't going to have any desire to transform back to your human form." Merlin stated.
"Wow that sounds really serious." Samantha replied.
"It is. Please do not tell the others yet, especially Chelsea and Amelia, they are the ones who will most likely be seduced by their elements in this case. So please, don't let Chelsea dive into large bodies of water, and don't let Amelia outdoors alone." Merlin declared.
"Easy, said than done. When can I tell the others?" Samantha asked.
"You will know when the time is right." Grandpa replied.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
Samantha was heading back to Gryffindor tower when she saw Harry and Hermione on the bridge. She noticed Harry talking to Cedric and became very curious as to what they could be talking about.
"Hey Harry, what were you talking to Cedric about?" She asked.
"He said that going to the Prefects bathroom and putting the egg in the water might help me solve the clue for the next task." Harry replied.
"Really, I insist that you let us help you with this then." Samantha stated.
"No, Samantha really, you don't…" Harry said.
"No, I insist, if more people try and figure it out together, we can solve it faster." Samantha replied.
Harry just let out a sigh of defeat.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
"Why can't I come with you guys?" Chelsea asked.
"Because Jimmy and I already decided that we should go with Harry." Samantha replied. "I need to keep her away from the water as much as possible. She can't lose her humanity."
"But that's not fair." Chelsea complained.
"Come on Chelsea. I'm still Harry's bodyguard. Besides someone needs to stay behind and make sure that Bethany and Amelia behave, they've been arguing a lot lately. I usually make sure they don't kill each other, but I think it should be someone else's turn to keep the peace." Samantha stated.
"Fine." Chelsea said finally giving up.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
The Harry, Jimmy, and Samantha were in the prefects' bathroom on the third floor. The bath tub was about the size of a small swimming pool, it could easily fit ten students. There were also many soap taps each letting out different colored soaps, each with a different scent, filling the whole tub with bubbles.
"I still can't believe that I let you guys come with me." Harry said.
"Relax, we're wearing bathing suits." Samantha replied.
"Besides, we're here to help make solving the clue of the egg easier for you." Jimmy added.
Harry took the egg and opened it. Again it let out that awful blood curling scream. Harry quickly closed the egg.
"I'm definitely out of mind." Harry stated.
"So are we, but we don't judge." Samantha replied.
"I'd try putting it in the water if I were you." A mysterious voice said.
The three friends look toward the stall, and saw someone very familiar.
"Myrtle." Harry said.
It was the ghost, Moaning Myrtle.
"Hello Harry, Samantha, and Jimmy. Long time no see." The sensitive ghost said. "I was circling a blocked drain the other day and could have sworn I saw a bit of polyjuice potion. Not being a bad boy again are we Harry?" Myrtle asked.
"Polyjuice potion?" Jimmy questioned.
"Keep that habit. Myrtle did you say try putting it in the water?" Harry asked.
The bubbly ghost suddenly dove under the water before resurfacing. "That's what he did, the handsome one, Cedric Diggory." She said with mischief present in her voice.
Harry grabbed the egg and placed it under the water, opening it.
"Well go on." Myrtle said.
So the three friends went under water, and listened as the egg started to sing.
Come seek us where our voices sound.
We cannot sing above the ground.
An hour long you'll have to look
To recover what we took.
Once the song ended the trio resurfaced.
"Myrtle, there aren't merpeople in the Black lake, are there?" Harry asked.
"Oh, very good, took Cedric ages to riddle it out, almost all the bubbles were gone." Myrtle said playfully.
"Okay, she's just being weird." Samantha thought.
"Yeah, when did she get so playful?" Jimmy replied.
Let's just say they spent the rest of the bath trying to keep Myrtle away from them.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
The next night the Elementals and the Trio were in the library trying to help Harry make sure their assumptions about the song were right.
"Tell it to us again Harry." Hermione said.
"Come seek us where our voices sound." Harry said repeating the first line of the song.
"The Black lake, it's obvious." Hermione stated.
"An hour long you'll have to look." Harry said repeating the third line.
"Again obvious, but it's potentially problematic." Hermione declared.
"Potentially problematic, have you ever held your breath under water for an hour?" Harry questioned.
"Look Harry, I know you're stressed." Hermione stated.
"Even so Harry, we can all get through this if we work together." Amelia said.
"Excuse me, I hate to interrupt but Professor McGonagall would like to see you in her office." Professor Moody stated.
Harry and the others got up.
"No, not you Potter, just Weasley and Miss Granger." He declared.
"But sir, the second task is only hours away and…" Hermione spoke.
"Exactly, so Potter is due for a good night's sleep." Moody concluded.
Ron and Hermione gave everyone the "be careful" look before exiting the library.
"Longbottom, help Potter and the others put away these books." Moody requested before exiting the library as well.
Neville walked over to Harry to help him put away the books he had in front of them.
"If you're interested in plants, then you're better off with Goshawk's Guide To Herbology. Did you know there's a wizard in Nepal who's growing gravity-resistant trees?" Neville declared.
"Neville, no offense, but I don't really care for plants. Not unless there's a Tibetan turnip that can help me breathe underwater for an hour then great." Harry said in a frustrated tone.
"Well, I don't know about turnips, but you could always use gillyweed."Neville replied.
The others just looked at him.
"Gillyweed?" Bethany thought.
Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooooooo
