Elemental Twins (Harry Potter Spin-Off) Part 26 Ghosts blood, Turtles and Dragons

The clouds had cleared and the sky was blue again. They returned just as the sky became blood red, as they both flew into Dumbledore's office through his window. He was awaiting their return, showing his pleasure that they had returned in good time, with a smile. On-Chan lightly stepped down and took from within her pocket the baby phoenix and placed it in the ashes next to Fawkes. "Ah so you have met Fawkes' brother Suzaku." Dumbledore said with a knowing smile.
"But sir how are we to get the blood of the DA let alone the Order of Phoenix." Ten-Chan asked. BUt Dumbledore just smiled as he waved his wand and 37 vials appearede on his desk. Each with exactly one dorp of blood in them and they were all neatly labelled with whom the blood came from.
Ten-Chan and On-Chan smiled. At least they wouldn't have to travel everywhere to collect the blood. And they wouldn't have to ask the DA. It would be quite aawkward. "Thank you Professor but could you keep them for us until he have collected the remaining ingredients." "Very well. And I believe it is dinner time now. Good evening." Dumbledore said as he quitted his office.
The Next Day
At Breakfast
"So do you want to come?" On-Chan asked. "To see your friends again?" She continued with a teasing g;ance at Harry. She had heard all about the Triwizard tournament from hermione. "Yeah, yeah," Harry said while rolling his eyes. "They'll totallly welcome me with open arms especially when I threatened them that day." Harry said sarcastically, but he had a small smile on his face. "I'll come and bring Eric. I don't think they'll want to part with their scales that easily. If they are like when you and Ten-Chan went to get the sylph wings. They will want the elemental of water." Harry said as he got up and left.
Later ...
"So here's the deal. We all promise that if it comes down to a fight only the elementals fight, right." On-Chan said as she shot daggers at Harry and Draco. Both of them had been arguing again who would protect who. On-Chan gave them a small smile. "And by elementals I mean Ten-Chan, Eric, Amayla and I." They all nodded.
On-Chan smiled. "OK then, let's go." She said as they all performed a bubble head charm. Except for Amayla, she can breathe under water. They were submerged in the cool water. "And watch out for the grindylows." On-Chan said.
"Come on." Harry said as he beckoned them to follow him. So they followed him, occasionally blasting boiling jets of water at the grindylows that dared come close enough.
Soon they were at a familiar spectacle. Familiar to Harry at least. The four poles whence the hostages were tied to two years ago, were still there. Abotu them swam several merpeople with their greenish hair and fish-like tails, instead of legs.
The merpeople turned and raised their weapons, there were seven, and all of them readied their weapons at a single person, except for Eric. Another merperson appeared and beckoned him forwards. As the others made to follow him, the merpeople guarding them held them back.
"Only the one that controls water can proceed. You can go back or you can wait here," one said and they all returned to their original posts. Closely watching the others as Eric swam deeper into the curtain of seaweed.
Eric and the merperson swam through the seaweed, Beyond it was a sight which would of stunned anyone. He had never thought the lake deep enough to house a castle. Let alone one that was an almost replica of the Hogwarts castle. With thte highest turret at least 10 metres high.
They swam to the top most turret, where another merperson sat upoon a throne made of stone from the lake bed. The merperson was like all the others escept it seemed to be a mermaid. "If you seek and want the scales of my people you must frst fight and defeat me. But before we fight we must make a pact." "Pact?" "One that will certify that my people will not be without a leader. Because it is in the unwritten, laws that if one should defeat the merchief, the merchief would bind and transfer his/her powers to the one who is triumphant. And by doing so, he/she will lose his/her life. And let it be known to you ... I know the reason you want our scales but you cannot have it till you defeat me." The merchieftaness said as she rose from her throne and swam towards Eric.
With a click of her long bony fingers the floor beneath them began to move. Downwards. It got darker and darker until it was completely pitch black when Eric felt the floor stop it's descent. In the darkness Eric could see absolutely nothing except the eerie glow of the merchieftanessess necklace.
"I'm coming." the merchieftaness said in a soft whisper. So soft that Eric could just catch it as it left no trace in the water. "He looked at the spot where he had seen the glow of the merchieftanessess necklace. It was no longer there.
"Where?" He whispered impatiently to himself. "Behind you." Another whisper came from behind. The merchieftaness. Eric spun around and caught the merchietanessess weapon just before it struck his chest.
He released enough electricity to light a whole city into the weapon. The merchieftaness glowed for a moment then darkness again. The glow of the necklace was no more ... it had shattered.
But he knew now. He knew what he could do to end this quickly. COncentrating a small electricty into his palms, he waited. raising his arms he released it ... in the form of magnetic waves.
A moment later the merchieftanessess weapon was in his hand. An eerie laugh filled his ears.
"I had a feeling this year's water elemental would control electricity as well. Yes well done. But now we must go on to the next stage." The merchieftaness said as she clicked her fingers again and light shone through. Eric blinked his eyes several times, getting used to the sudden light.
The merchieftaness continued to laugh. "Oh you've put me in a good mood. Yes why not. Go and invite your friends and we will have lunch. Yes" The merchieftaness paused, and her face grew more serious. "However this is not the end. After we have finihsed we will have another fight. But till then put that out of your mind."
2 hours later
'You have finished?" The merchieftaness asked Eric who sat at her right, He nodded and the merchieftaness smiled. "Very well, bring forth the scales." She said in a loud voice.
Another merperson came forth bearing a box encrusted with weed and shells. "This box hasn't been opened in centuries that's how long ago the water elemental was here ... or even knew of it's existance. Hopefully we will have to wait another millenium before we have to opene this box again." She said as she lifted the lid and inside were four unimpressive looking scales. All were the same size and shape and colour. But still they gave of the feeling of something very powerful. Merpeople scales.
"If you are able to defeat Seiryuu, then the scales are yours. Then I will bind with you. Increasing the destructiveness of your element. So are you ready?" She asked in a soft voice. Eric nodded grimly. "Good. And friends of Eric please know this. This is fight and his fight alone. Noone and I mean NOONE is to help him regardless of what happens even if his death is inevitable. You all were invited here today because he has pleased me. So please do NOT enrage me. Shall we begin?"
< --- XD Ten-Chan with pink hair
Without waiting for Eric to reply she called out. "Seiryuu, Dragon of water, I beseech you answer my call." Within the box the scales changed colour. From a dull weed green to a bright glowing red. A deafening roar was heard to come from within it. A second later before anyone could even think of whence that roar came from a dragon came to life. Blood red eyes, and gigantic teeth of chilling ice. With a yawn it turned it's gigantic head and faced Eric.
The merchieftaness' face was emotionless and deadly serious. "Seiryuu attack." She whispered as if she might regret yelling it out. Quick as lightining the dragon roared, releasing a stream of ice from it's jaws. Eric countered the attack wiht a stream of ice of his own.
The two streams collided with an explosion sending shafts of razor sharp ice all over the place. Eric's stream was gone, but the dragon's wasn't. Forging forwards the ice reached Eric's arms just as he released a thread thin pin of electricity. Travelling slowly bu tsurely the electricity went through the ice. As did the ice that crept slowly up his arms, to his shoulders. Every second inching closer to his heart.
< --- XD On-Chan with blong hair lol XD
Eric's face contorted with shock, but still he held on. COncentrating. Forcing the electricty forward still. Every second crucial as each second his heart was in dangrer of being frozen.
Finally at the last second, the ice reached his heart as did his electricity reach the dragons mouth. Electrocuting them both. Eric's entire being encased in ice, melted away. The water dragon itself disappeared and the water was deathly cold.
But that was no what Eric felt. I saw the merchieftaness fall. Swimming quickly towards her, he caught her just as she hit the ground. She smiled wanly.
"You have fought well. Promise me you will return here again when your fight is over." "But how -" "Promise me." "Alright ..." "I have one final request." The merchieftaness said as she gasped. "Bury my body on the edge of this lake to the north. Goodbye and remember what you have said and done." She said as she died. Eric noded grimly. Although they had just met there was a sense of familairity with that merperson.
And the question was answer as the merchieftaness gowed a soft green, slowly the greenish hair changing to a soft yellow. Her features more delicate now. A distinct resemblance between them. Her and Eric.
"Rein - Reina?" Eric stuttered in shock kknowing the familiar face which so closely resembled his own though she looked years older than he.
Flashback ... decade ago ...
"Reina?! Reina? Where are you?!" a 6 year old Eric yelled with frustration. This was a first. His sister ot being there. She was like a mother to him already 11 years his senior. And because they might as well not have one. Considering what she did all day, everyday. Drinking late into the night, chain-smoking to work off the hangover she wakes up with and snorting cocaine whenever she felt like getting high. But they never worried about living costs. They're estranged father saw to that. A rich man but with a low profile. An unspeakable.
"Reina?! Come on don't hide. I want to show you something." Eric yelled as he went from room to room in that vast house, in search of her. But there was no reply. Reina's room was completely empty.
He was about to close the door behind him when he caught sight of a folded piece of paper stuck in the leaves of his sister's diary.
He slipped it out and read it. KNowing full well that his sister would be pretty mad if she found him doing that.
"To Reina Kazurel,
We regret to inform you o fthe passing of Mirala Dureka. Your immeadiate presence is requested in the Headmaster's office.
Yours Sincerly,
Minerva McGonagall
Next to it was an envelope bearing the Hogwarts crest.
Back to the Present
"So this was where yu were all this time. All these years and I resented you for leaving me. BUt you were so close by too." Eric said as his teard mingled with the water and went unnoticed.
The on who called Reina, her hand moved a bit but he did not notice it till it was touching his face. She opened her eyes and smiled sadly.
"Don't worry dear brother. I have enjoyed my life with you and our people. Even if we have crossed blood. You fought well. Goodbye and good luck."
Her hand finally went limp. Ten-Chan floated over to him. "So are you ready to go back?" Ten-Chan whispered. "Yeah ..." Eric said with a sad smile. And together they all swam upwards. Eric clutching the body of his sister, determined to carry out her last wish. Ten-Chan had the scales.
hehehe On-Chan and Draco ne ... unreal love ... XD
A couple days later ...
"So all that remain are the centaur hairs and the ghost blood." On-Chan said as she and her twin were in the library. "Do you think Firenze will allow us?" "I don't see why not." "Hmm ... perhaps ... but I will ask him later. I have divination next." On-Chan yawned. "Have fun."
After Divination Class
"Professor could I ask you something?" Ten-Chan said as the rest of the class filtered out for lunch. "Yes Ms.Hayashi?" "I would like tp have some of your hair." "And why is that?" "It's ... it's for a potion sir." "Ah yes. But I cannot let you have them. You must travel to the deep heart of the Forbidden Forest and search out my herd. When you do find them, earth will battle, and if you are triumphant then you will get them. But that is all I can do." "But ..." "There are no buts Ms.Hayashi, what I have said is true. When the time is right something else you never expected will show itself.Good afternoon." "Thank you sir." Ten-Chan said as she left.

"But what does he mean by 'something else you never expected will show itself'?" On-Chan said, her brow creased. "It is possible that earth still remains among us ... isn't it?" "Maybe ... it could. " "Because what if ... what if Chris is not the tru elemental of earth ... what if ... it is someone else they took the power from." "Bu t who ..." "We only know of one person who was submitted to Voldemort;s eexperimets." "Amayla ..." On-Chan gasped. Ten-Chan nodded grimly. "I think it's time we went into the Forbidden Forest with her. Perhaps the centaurs can help ... If they will consent to ..." Ten-Chan trailed off. "But how can we be so sure?" "There's only one way to find out ..." Ten-Chan said as she and On-Chan ran towards Hagrid's hut.
ON-Chan banged on Hagrid's door. "Hagrid, Amyala, Fang?!" On-Chan yelled when no one answered. Then a shrill screech was heard and they looked to the sky, seeing a midnight blue owl flying towards them continually schreeching, in broad daylight.
Strangely somehow they found they could understad the bird's language.
The person whom they looked for was already deep within the forest and already deep in battle.
Alone in the forest Amayla is ...
A couple of hours earlier ... inside Hagrid's hut ...
"So ... what are we looking for?" "The acromantula nest. They seemed to have moved. It's as if they cans ense a coming danger. We need the venom for the Weasely twins." "Right. And I should keep my human form because ..." "It'a crook place for a bird. Vey high chances of getting you stuck in gnarled branches and thorny vines. Best to keep in your human form." "Oh k" Amyala said a little grudgingly.
Half an hour later ...
"Are you sure it's this way Hagrid?" called a severly scratched Amayla from behind. "I am ... but it's getting kind of difficult. There aren't as many spiders as there used to be." "Hagrid?!" "Yeah?" "Can we stop for a moment, and can I ask you something?" "Yeah?" hagrid said as he came to a halt. "Why didn't you get the acromantula venom before they moved?" Hagrid rubbed his chin in the dim light.
"Well Aragog seemed kind of aggravated about soemthing and he refused to listen or do me any favours ... so yeah I guess they have calmed down a little now that they've moved furthur into the forest." "Who's Aragog?" "He's the acromantula that I raised and so he's th- Amayla WATCH OUT!" Hagrid yelled. But Amayla had already moved out of the way. Right opposite where she had been standing a dark arrow quirvered, impaled upon a tree trunk.
"Who goes there?" Hagrid roared, his crossbow at the ready. "I thought we tld you to stay away from this forest Hagrid. And yet you dare to befoul our forest with another human after your brother." A centaur wiht a mournful face said as he stepped out of the shadows. It was ffrom his bow the arrow was released.
Then with a domino effect the centaurs appeared one by one, their bows loaded and their bow strings taut. "If you wish to harm this girl you'll have to go through me first." Hagrid roared his giant blood taking over.
"very well." The mournful centaur said as he filled his bow and drew it taut ... ready to fire. "WAIT! WAIT!" another centaur ran to the center. He was younger. Like the others he had pale skin but underneath that there was a slight hint of darker skin. As if he was no native of this forest.
"What is it Miakel? I thought we told you to stay in position and guard the thing that is important." Bane said impatiently.
"I did as you bade me ... but although it is still daylight I had a feeling that the one who was foretold to come and get the hairs would arrive today. The elemental of earth is the one that stands behind Hagrid. The centaur turned and looked at Amayla hard in the face.
"You are the elemental of earth are you not?" "No ..." The centaur smiled gently. "You jest I can feel the power from within you. "But ..." "There are no buts young one ... come. It is time your true powers were revelaed."
