Phoenix Tears

Prologue:

The wind was moving around me as my long mane whipped across my back. ... It seemed as if the whole world was melting that day leading all hopes and dreams of mine left to waste. I felt as if I could no longer see the world that was once my own. The old magic has long since gone, and the old clans are now lost. I can still see them though. They seemed to move me and make my heart fill with strength. The only way that I could flee was this way my only chance to live and make them survive. They needed me, or so I thought.

I can still see her waiting for me now, holding the key to my life. Her smile was so amazing, and her eyes sparkled. Yet, out of the corner of them a tear trickled down her nose. She needed me then as much as I needed her. The magic was soon to be performed, and I knew it. She stroked me softly then, patted my head. I can still feel my faith that I had then, I thought the whole world would soon be in my possession. I would soon be proven wrong.

"Are you ready?" she asked. I did not reply but, she knew I would not.

I almost felt as if I was going to throw up. The summer leaves were turning, the storm that we needed was soon approaching.

"All right here we go then." I nodded. She touched my forehead and smiled.

It was that same amazing smile that had brought our friendship together. I know that it is the same smile that ended it to. A flash of lighting hit, I soon heard a terrible roar of thunder. It made my heart pond even faster. She took out a lock of her hair and began to sing:

"Phoenix ashes, phoenix tears.

The magic will so be lost unless for these years.

Hold on tight and sing to me

Phoenix ashes, phoenix tears."

The song was familiar to me; it had haunted my dreams for years. I could hear it of in the distance echoing away. It gave me hope that I would soon never dream of. It gave me life.

The colors of light and love soon arose to us. I could see amazing things. I could feel my body lessen. My legs were changed, my heart thumped faster and I could feel, truly feel. The world was shaping before my eyes. The colors blending enabling me to see the world

"Let us go!" she cried.

I followed her though the earth and tumbled upon roots and twigs. Motion was slow to me I felt awkward and I hurt. I was soon short of breath, something that had never happened to me.

"Hurry up!" she screeched.

Dirt was now covering me. I opened my mouth to speak but, instead I halted. Down before me stood an amazing stream, I looked down. I could see my reflection staring at me only it was not truly me. I looked like her; I looked almost exactly like Ginny Weasley.

I know now that a boy soon to be very important to me was starting another terrible day in the clutches of some evil people.
