Chapter Nine - Di_vi_ne
.
When the pain ended I realized that I was smaller, as I couldn't look at myself I approached the black lake and looked at my reflection.
I CAN'T BE A PHOENIX!!!!
In the reflection, I could see a phoenix with bright red feathers and orange-like fire, the green eyes glowed like the killing curse.
'How ironic'.
I moved away from the water and started to imagine my body, when I felt myself returning to normal I turned around and saw various animals from small to large. Soon each one was returning to normal.
- "Did anyone see what I was," - Said Marlene as she looked at the others.
- "Yes, can anyone tell me what I was?" - Alice asked the others.
Suddenly they all started talking at the same time.
- "Silence," - Said Severus in a serious tone.
With that simple word, they all fell silent.
- "You can speak one at a time."
They all nodded.
'Sev sure knows how to bring order.'
- "I know which animal you are, Alice," - Narcissa said.
- "What am I?" - She asked Narcissa in an excited tone.
- "A hare," - She answered, looking at her.
- "Oh," - She only looked down at the ground.
- "Narcissa, you are an Ili Pika," - Pandora informed her while smiling.
- "I'll have to look for information about the Ili Pika," - She said with a half smile.
- "Pandora, you are a white Raccoon," - Said Frank to the blonde.
Pandora was just smiling with a dreamy look on her face.
- "And you, Adelaide, are a horse." - Mentioned Marlene.
- "A horse, not bad... Ah, Severus, you are a Panther." - Adelaide mentioned to Snape.
- "Can someone tell me what I am," - The Malfoy asked the others.
- "An Albino Peacock," - Answered the Snape as if it were nothing.
- "I am..."
- "What?" - Asked the black-haired man impatiently.
- "Di-vi-ne." - Said the blond, running his hand through his hair and putting his other hand on his waist.
Marlene and Adelaide laughed as they listened to Lucius.
- "You hanging out with Lily is getting to him," - Black said playfully.
- "Hey, it's no big deal."
- "Of course, it is," - She just smirked.
- "Hey, what am I?" - Marlene asked, looking at the others.
- "A Panda," - I informed the Gryffindor.
- "No wonder I felt fatter," - Said the blonde with a nod.
- "Is that really your first thought," - Said Severus, rolling his eyes.
- "I have my priorities," - The blonde informed him.
He just rolled his eyes.
- "By the way, Frank, you are a Lion," - I said, ignoring the conversation of the other two.
- "Great," - He said happily.
- "And what are you, Lily?" - Asked Alice, causing the others to turn to look at me.
- "I'm a Phoenix," - I informed them all with a smile, while they looked at me in surprise.
- "Can you show us," - Asked Adelaide.
In the blink of an eye, I was a phoenix.
When I raised my head, I was met with a look of astonishment from all of them.
- "WOW," - Exclaimed Marlene.
- "You look like you're on fire," - Reported Lucius.
- "You are very beautiful," - Added Severus.
The others all nodded in agreement.
'Thank you for your compliments.'
.
If anyone at that time in the dead of night were to look out of one of the windows facing the black lake, they would find a rather strange scene.
Starting with a raccoon entering the mouth of a lion, and the lion trying to drive it away without harming it.
A phoenix chasing an Ili Pika, around a panther that was lying down looking at the other animals.
Even that scene doesn't compare to a peacock being chased by a horse, maybe that scene looks somewhat normal, the weird thing is that the horse is being ridden by a panda.
