The Power of the Phoenix

Chapter 4

Drake walked down the hall towards Dumbledore's office. That old man is a fool. Does he really think that I will tell him everything? He is more of a fool than I thought!

Drake walked up to the Gargoyle. He stood and looked at it for a long time. He knew that the minute he walked in to the room most likely he would be put under a spell, and forced to tell Dumbledore everything that the old man wanted to know. He remembered all his training, but the old man was very powerful. Drake sighed and said the password; Dixie sticks, and walked in. Dumbledore was waiting.

"Have a seat Drake," he said.

"What do you want to know?" Drake asked as he sat down.

"I want to know how you know about what happened all those years ago," Dumbledore said.

"That's easy, I read about it," Drake said.

"Impossible! I placed memory charms on everybody who knew!"

"No you didn't. One person didn't get hit with you charm. She was bending down. And even if you had managed you still couldn't put a charm on a book! That's right old man; someone recorded all the events that happen. One day the world will know what happened, and you will be in big trouble!"

Dumbledore pulled out his wand. He pointed it at Drakes heart.

"I do not know how you know about that, but I will make sure that know one will ever find out about this!"

"Your to late about that old man. Even if you did get rid of my memory, you would still have to get rid of the world's memory. You would also have to get rid of the book, and you don't know where it is."

"I...I'm sorry. You must understand that what I did was for the good of the school. I didn't want anybody to know what happened. I was afraid that if the students still remembered what happed it would haunt them for the rest of their lives. I didn't want them to go through that."

"You where a fool then, old man, but you have changed. You must realize now that the Dark Lord is not as afraid of you as he used to be. You must not make the same mistake again. If you do it could spell the end of the wizarding world. I'm going to leave you to your thoughts know."

Drake got up and left. He walked down to the Great Hall. He saw a lot of students gathered around the wall. Quidditch tryout must have been posted. I know for a fact without looking that Ginny Weasley made the team. I also know that Ron will be furious and Fred and George will tease him, which will lead to a sibling war. That will be very fun to watch!

* * * * * * *

Ginny was trying to see who had made the Quidditch team. Everyone who didn't tryout should back away from the board! I mean, come on! There are actually people here who should see who made it before the rest of the school does!

"Ginny!" a voice called out.

Ginny turned and saw Fred hurrying towards her. She waved at Fred. Fred motioned for Ginny to follow him. Ginny did just that. Once they were both outside Ginny started to regret coming outside this early in the morning.

"Ginny, I wanted to tell you that you made the team," Fed said.

"I did? I did! This is so cool! Wait 'till Ron hears about...oh wait. If I made the team, that means he didn't, which means he is going to be mad at Harry which..." Ginny said.

"Hold it Ginny. Harry is going to explain to Ron why he didn't make Chaser. Ginny you where truly the best, if Ron cannot see that, then he didn't deserve the spot we gave him on the team," Fred said.

"You gave him a spot on the team?"

"Yep. We decided that this year we wanted the team captain to be someone who wasn't a player and could watch how we played without playing themselves."

By this time they had reached the team locker rooms. Fred looked around and sighed.

"Ginny, would you mind staying here? I have to go get the playing balls for practice. Someone forgot to bring them here," Fred said. Ginny nodded and Fred went off. Ginny looked around. The walls were a little moldy, but that wasn't really surprising, considering how much the players sweet.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Ginny Weasley, who just made the team," a voice drawled from behind her. Ginny spun around and saw a man standing there. He had Beach Blond hair and gray eyes.

"Who are you?"

"My friends call me Drake. But that doesn't matter. What matters is us right here and right now," Drake said.

"There is nothing between us!" Ginny said.

"Oh really?" Drake asked. He grabbed Ginny's arm, pulled her in, and kissed her.

* * * * * * *

"What is talking Myra so long to get back?" Ron asked.

"I don't know," Harry said.

"Maybe we should go check on her," Hermione said.

The three friends looked around. Myra had been gone for twenty minutes. They had been watching the door for a long time.

"Why are you three so tense?" a voice asked.

All three of them jumped and spun. Professor Westbrook was standing over them.

"We are waiting for our friend who has been gone a really long time. She said she would be back by now, and we where just really worried," Hermione said.

"Okay, well eat your breakfast, you'll need it," Annamaria said. She walked away from their table.

"That was close, I wonder where they are," Hermione said.

"Hello Harry, have you seen Miss. Heartrose?" Dumbledore asked from behind them. Harry looked up at him.

"No, I haven't seen her lately, I was with her about twenty minutes ago, but then she went off with Mal... Draco and we haven't seen her since," Harry said.

"Hey Harry, have you seen Ginny?" Fred asked from besides Dumbledore, "I left her in the locker room, and when I came back she was gone."

"You picked my sister over me? How could you Harry?!" Ron asked and stormed off.

"Harry, were did Myra and Draco go?"

"Harry, have you seen Ginny?"

"Harry, should I go after Ron?"

"Harry..."

"Harry..."

"Harry..."

"Leave me alone!" Harry screamed and ran out of the room. He ran and ran, not knowing where he was going. He collapsed somewhere in the woods. He soon fell asleep of exhaustion.

Harry was walking down the same gold path. He saw the exact same four castles. He saw Hogwarts, and the castle of light, to. He saw Aurora standing waiting for him. He broke into a run to get to her.

"Harry, you have come once again," she said.

"I...my life is a huge mess. I don't want to go back there, ever again!" he said.

"You must go back, as the guardian of Gryffindor, you have to!" she said.

"I'm the guardian of Gryffindor?" he asked.

"Yes Harry, you are. That is why you pulled the sword out of the hat. That is why you must return. Harry you need to get the sword from Dumbledore. You need to discover its power, which will be no easy task! It took Godric two years to just start learning about its power!" she said.

"I know what I must do, I'm just afraid to do it," Harry said.

"Harry, even the youngest person can change the course of the future," she said, "Now Harry you need to..."

"Wake up...Harry wake up. Dumbledore! I found him! He's unconscious!" Hermione yelled. Dumbledore came running over. He started to check Harry out.

"We have found one out of five people who are missing," Dumbledore said.

"Who else is missing?" she asked.

"There is Myra and Draco, we found Crabbe and Goyle. They said that Draco and Myra where in the classroom they were guarding, but when we went in, it was empty. Then there is Ginny who was said to be in the locker room, but she wasn't there. Then there was Dr... a friend of mine, and he is missing. Harry was missing but we found him," Dumbledore said.

Harry was put on a stretcher and taken to the Hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey took him the minute they walked in the doors.

"Hermione, will you help me look for the other missing students?" Dumbledore asked.

"Of course," Hermione said. And with that they began the search for the missing people.

* * * * * * *

Ron walked into the common room. He saw George standing by the fireplace. When he spotted Ron, he started to walk towards him. Ron hurried up the stairs to the dorm.

"Ron, wait!" George called. Ron turned around and glared at him.

"Why should I? You picked Ginny instead of me! I am not going to talk to you ever again!" he screamed and slammed the dorm door.

We have a problem. He must have heard that Ginny made the team from someone else besides Harry. Now we are in trouble. I better go find Harry.

George hurried down the stairs. He went down to the Quidditch field. He was just about to go into the Quidditch pitch when he saw two people standing in some trees a ways off. One of them was Ginny. He slowly crept over there to see what he could hear.

"Why did you do that?" Ginny asked.

"Because I felt like it," the guy said.

"Don't you ever do that again, or I'll kill you! I don't even know you!"

"Someday you will, I promise you that!" he said and grabbed he again.

"Let me go!"

"Never!"

"Let my sister go!" George said and stepped into the light.

"Why should I?"

"Because I'll do this..." he said and punched him square in the jaw.

* * * * * * *

Myra stood looking at the cloaked figure and Draco. Draco loosed his grip on Myra and threw her back against the wall of the tower they had gone too. She hit her head and was knocked out.

"Look what you did to a girl you claim to love!" the cloaked figure said.

"I don't want her to see you die, since it would probley kill her!" Draco said. Before he could even pull out his wand he was laying on is back, stunned. The cloaked figure swooped past Draco. He headed right for Myra. He picked her up and headed for the window. He jumped out the window and the glass shattered. He fell onto the roof below.

He ran as fast as he could along the roof. He came to then end pretty soon. He looked down and they were five stories up. He also noticed another roof half way down. He jumped again and landed on the roof. When he got to the ground he started towards the forest. How could he do something to the woman he claims to love? How could he be so vicious? Is the human race failing? I must get this gorgeous creature away from the pain of the human world!

While the young man continued to go towards the lake, Myra was started to come to consciousness. Good, the minute she wakes up I can do the transport spell. Then she will never have to come back here again! She will be free forever!

The man arrived at the lake just as Myra's eyes fluttered open. He looked down and smiled at her from beneath his hood. He climbed up on the rocks and jumped off them into the lake. He swam faster, and faster, and faster. A portal soon became visible a few feet down. He quickly swam through it and into a third dimension. A woman in blue was waiting for them.

"So you got her here okay. Did she come on her own will, or did you force her?" she asked.

"She was unconscious so it was kind of half and half," he said.

"You know where to put her. Sean, make sure you don't let her escape, I must use her as my pawn to get my revenge on Voldemort, that...that...bastard!" she said and stormed off. Sean sighed and took Myra to her room and tied her to the bed. Poor girl, if only I hadn't been bound to her when that girl found me out, and I had to leave the Lords service. Now I bound to her! My luck sucks! Well for that matter, so does my life!

* * * * * * *

Draco sat up with a start, and immediately laid back down. Oh my head! Such pain! What happened? Oh that's right! That bastard took Myra and knocked me out! I will get her back! He probley is going to kill her! I wont tell anyone that she is gone! I will find her myself and then she will love me! I am going to start by...wow! Look at the window, which means he jumped and he survived, seeing as there isn't any body on the roof below. How very interesting.

"Draco Malfoy! What are you doing up here?" a voice asked from behind him. He turned around and Hermione was standing in the doorway.

"What I do is none of your business Granger," he said. He left her and went down to the Slytherin common room. He went up to his room, and opened his trunk. Inside was a small black book. He opened it and turned to a blank page. He took out a quill and started to write.

You wouldn't believe what happened today. Some stupid guy kidnapped her, and I'm going to go swim in the lake tonight. Even though it has nothing to do with Myra, I still feel like it. Actually I feel like streaking, maybe I'll do that tonight. I know! I'll have a party. I will invite some Slytherins, Ravenclaw's, Hufflepuff's, and maybe even a few Gryffindors.

I will get a group of friends together, and then we can all streak together! Then we can the get the girls and go skinny-dipping. We might even go into the village and get drunk! We can go to the Astronomy tower and... okay you know. That would be so cool! I better go start on the invitations! This is going to be so cool!

* * * * * * *

Myra watched through half closed eyes as Sean left. She looked up at the bonds that held her. The knot's that held her were not that tight. She suspected that he thought that she would move around and get the knots really tight. She quickly got out of them. Soon she was walking towards the portal. She reached the portal and went through. The portal closed the minute she went through the portal.

She swam as quickly as she could towards the surface; she broke the top with in a minute of getting out of the portal. She gasped for breath and swam as fast as she could to the shore. When she reached it she started up towards the castle.

"Hey Myra, wait up!" a voice called. Myra watched Draco Malfoy hurry up to her.

"What do you want?" she asked.

"Here," he said and handed her a invitation, "I want you to came to a party. I'm sorry about earlier, and I really hope you will come." And with that he ran off. Myra opened the invitation and read it.

You are formally invited to Draco Malfoys Beach Party

We ask that you meet us in the great hall for lots of fun

Please bring some money, and a bathing suit

The Headmaster has approved this party

Date: Tonight

Time: 9 o'clock

Where: The Great Hall

Please R.S.V.P.

Myra read the invitation over again. Well I guess it's okay if Dumbledore approved of it. I hope Harry, Hermione, and Ron is going to go. Maybe Ginny...

"Myra! We have a big problem!" George called from in front of her.

"What is it? What's wrong?" she asked.

"Ron found out about Ginny, but it wasn't from Harry!"

"That's a problem. Where is he?"

"Up in the dorm. I can't get him to talk to me!"

"Okay, um, I'll go try and talk to him, you find Ginny..."

"I'm right here."

"Okay so you two go and find Hermione and Harry..."

"Harry is in the infirmary and Hermione is looking for you and Draco..."

"I'm here, Draco is running around handing out invitations, and we need the rest of the team so for gods sake, please go find them!"

"Did you just swear?"

"Yes Hermione, I did. I'm starting to know how Harry felt. Just please go find the rest of the team!" and with that Myra ran towards the castle, up the stairs, through the common room, and up to the boys dorm.

"Ron! I need to talk to you!"

"Why? So you can rub it in my face that I didn't make the team?"

"Ron! For gods sake! Please open the door and let me explain everything!"

"No! I wont! Go away and leave me alone!"

"I can't do that Ron! You're a part of the team! Just let me explain everything!"

"I said to leave me alone!"

"Arg! Ron why won't you listen? You. Are. A. Part. Of. The. Team!"

"How can I be a part of it when Ginny is the chaser?"

"Because... god. Ron this would be so much easier if I could see your face!"

"Fine, I'll come out, but don't pull anything!" and with that Ron came out.

"Okay, so explain. How could I be a part of the team?"

"Ron, you are the team captain. You have one of the most important jobs. We decide to have you as the team captain because you can watch us play and tell us what we need to do to become better players. What do you say Ron? Will you except the position?"

"Of course I will! I would be a fool not to!"

"Good choice! Now let us go down and have Quidditch practice!" and off they went, friends for now, but not for long!

* * * * * * *

"I told you not to let her get away! You failed me Sean. And you will not go unpunished this time!"

"Please forgive me! She ticked me! Kara was spouse to be watching the door. She was there when I got out and I left to go set the wards. It Kara's fault not mine!"

"Is this true Kara?"

"Yes ma'am."

"Well then you will go and bring her back. Now where is Lila?"

"Here, my lady."

"Ah good. How is everything going?"

"Good my lady. You will have Kurt within a week if you want. He still suspects that it was Lilac that divorced him. By the time he realizes it, it will be to late!"

"Very good. The next part of my plan will involve something that only I can do. You are dismissed. Kara I will open the portal. When you have the girl, you know what to do." All the people there left.

"Now I must get Voldemort to become my partner. Once he finds out what I know about Harry Potter he would sell his own soul to me to thank me. Soon this world, and all other worlds will be mine!"

* * * * * * *

Kara walked across the lawn towards Hogwarts. Get the girl. Get the girl she says. Well I might get the girl, but I will also get something else. And getting that will change the course of history...
