Swear on My Life

Chapter 1: Once upon a time...

Once upon a time, when magic was new and witches and wizards were just starting to discover spells and charms; there was the Order of the Phoenix. Helga Hufflepuff, Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, the four most advanced witches and wizards of their time and the protectors of the wizarding world.

Separately they were great but together, they were invincible. Hufflepuff´s calm patience and undying loyalty to the quartet, Gryffindor´s courage and bravery in battle, Ravenclaw´s wit and cleverness and Slytherin´s ambition made them the most feared against all the dark wizards they ever came up against. In their lifetimes, the four went on to create the first and best wizarding school, Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; but in death, they left behind something else, a magical force that could seek out the four most able witches and wizards for every generation and instill in them a power that most wouldn´t dare dream of.

Two men and two women for each generation, born with such advanced powers that only became greater when combined. The eldest of the four have the ability to freeze objects while the second eldest would be able to deflect spells. The third eldest would have the power of telekinesis (moving objects with the mind), and the youngest would be the most powerful and have the ability to do wandless magic in times of extreme danger; all of these talents in addition to their extraordinary talents with a wand. Because no verified evidence of the existence of such a league of wizards and witches ever existed, the legend was never recorded and only survived as an oral tradition.

Hundreds of years after the deaths of the original four, Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin, the wizarding world is again in a time of chaos, destruction and deceit. Lord Voldemort and his evil supporters, the Deatheaters, are slowly gaining the upper hand in the battle of good versus evil. In this tragic time the legend of the Order of the Phoenix begins to spread once more, as a beacon of hope that maybe one day their world of magic may be saved.

Once more the legend is told and luckily a man by the name of Albus Dumbledore has heard of it and begins the search for two witches and two wizards who show those extraordinary powers in order to reunite once more, the legendary Order of the Phoenix.
