Hello my name is Ethan Scott Elrik, I'm 16-years-old. I was born in Phoenix, Arizona. I'm your normal gay boy. I'm 5'8" tall and weigh 135 lbs. I have light brown skin and reddish brown hair. I have the rarest type of eyes in my family. They're sky blue with a hint of green around the pupils. I have a nice body, if I do say so myself, mostly because of all the injutusu and tijutusu classes my dad made me go to since I was about ten years old. I can't blame him, because he doesn't want me to use magic if I get pushed into a fight or something. Yes, my family can do magic, and not the kind you see on the TV, but real live magic. My mom is a witch and my dad is a wizard. You see, both my parents were born in London, England, but they moved to the states before I was even born. They tell me that the reason for that is because they wanted something better for me. But I know that's a load of crap. When my grandmother, on my dad's side, was sick, we had to move back to London. So, when I was eleven, I found out a whole lot of things. That I was a pure blooded wizard, or something like that, and that both my parents had a boatload of money. But now I'm sixteen, and I'm going to be seventeen in about a month. I hate my birthday because that means that I have to go back to school on my birthday. But then again, I loved it because that means I get to see my friends at Hogwarts. Yes, I did say Hogwarts. It's a school for wizards and witches. I'm a friend of the great Harry Potter and his two best mates, as he likes to call them, Ron and Hermione. But I can't leave out Harry's boyfriend, Draco Malfoy. Yes, I said Malfoy. Don't ask me how that happened. I still don't get it to this day. It's the same thing with Ron and Hermione. So, pretty much, out of my friends I'm the odd one out. And how we all became best friends, and some of us lovers, is a story for another time. Because now I'm going to tell you how things just got freakier for my friends and me. This is my story. I hope you like it.
"Ethan Scott Elrik could you please come down here now!" my mom screamed from down stairs.
"Yes, Mom," I said, rubbing my eyes since I just had woke up.
"Son, why are you not ready? We are going to Hogsmate for your school things."
"But Mom, I'm going to go by myself with my friends," I said to my mom.
"Yeah, you did say that yesterday, Cass" my dad said, now coming into the room.
"I know, I said that. But our son is going to be seventeen in two weeks, and I wanted to tag along so I could get him his birthday gift. Since you don't want me to go, I guess you don't get one then," she said with a smirk on her face.
I knew that I could not beat her at that type of game. So I had to give in. "Okay Mom, but can you leave my friends and me be?"
"Sure thing, sweetie. What time are you going to meet your friends and where are you going to meet them?"
"Well, I'm going to meet them at the Three Broomsticks, around three."
"Well son, you'd better get ready. It's already noon," my dad yelled from the back room.
"What?!" I yelled. " I'm going to be so dead if I don't get there on time. They are going to kill me if I make them wait again."
"Don't worry, we have plenty of time to get there; we will just use the floo network, okay?" my mom said to me in a calm tone.
I just nodded, and headed back to my room to get my things ready for the day. As I was doing this, I was having trouble looking for my school list. ("Damn, where did I put that list?"). I was starting to get really mad. I had my back turned, to go out my door, when I felt something hit me in the back of the head. I turned and saw my school list floating in mid air. I kinda freaked out when I saw this, and then my list just burst into flames. I put out the fire before my mom or dad could come up. That was all I needed; to have my mom come down on me for using magic again. As I was putting out the fire, I could hear my mom calling for me to come down stairs so we could leave. I walked out of my bedroom door and headed down stairs. There was my mom, waiting for me.
"Could you be any slower, son?" she said with arms across her chest.
"Sorry Mom. I had some things on my mind."
"Well, okay, but before we leave, I want you to promise to meet me at the Three Broomsticks at eight. Okay, son? Oh, and before I forget, here is a pouch of money, for your school things. And, before you ask for anymore, there is plenty left for your other spending. I had your father take it out for you, so don't worry. Now, be off with you before you're late."
I hugged her, and stepped into the fireplace. I grabbed a handful of floo powder and said "Three Broomsticks" and I was there in the blink of an eye. I walked out of the fireplace to try and see if I could find my friends. But I could not find them ("Aw man, they are going to kill me. I think I took too long to get here.") "Ethan!" I heard someone calling my name. I turned to see who it was. It was my friends, Harry and Draco. They just had walked in with each other, holding hands. I walked up to them.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late again," they looked at me, kinda puzzled. "What are you talking about, mate?" Harry asked.
"Yeah, you're here before all of us," Draco added.
"Hey were are Ron and Hermione?" I asked them both.
"Well, they thought you were going to be late, so they stopped off at Fred and Goreg's joke shop," Harry said.
"Are we bloody going to stand here all day? Or are we going to take our seats?" Draco snapped at both of us.
We walked to the nearest table closest to the window. We all took our seats and waited for Ron and Hermione to show up. As we waited for them, we ordered our drinks. Harry and Draco were flirting with each other. I was looking out the window, thinking about what happened earlier. ("How could I do that? I mean I didn't have my wand in my hand. But when I turned, there was the list I was looking for, and when I freaked out it burst into flames. Could it be wandless magic? Harry told me that it happened once or twice to him, but not like that.") I was lost in my thoughts, so I didn't see Ron and Hermonie walk in.
"Bloody hell, Hermione, Ethan was hear on time,"
"Are you okay, Ethan?" Hermonie asked as she touched my shoulder. It snapped me out of my reverie.
"Oh hey, Mione, I didn't see you there," I said with a smile on my face.
"Yeah, I can tell. So what's a hot bloke like you thinking about?" Draco asked, with a smirk.
"Hey! You're with me, remember?" Harry said.
"Yes I know that, love. But you can't tell me you don't think that Ethan is a hot bloke."
"Well, yes I can, because he is like my brother, and that would be incest, Draco dear," Harry said with a smile on his face, knowing full well that Draco does not like to be called that.
"Well, don't worry Harry, I don't like blonds like you do," I said, as I started walking towards the door.
"Hey mate, we just got here!" Ron yelled.
"I know, but my mom wants me to get all my shopping done by eight, so we'd better get going. You know how she gets when I'm late. Remember the last time?"
They all started laughing. "Yeah. She put a time hex on you so you would be on time," Ron said, still laughing.
"Yeah, I don't think I want to go through that again. I love my mom to death, but she is scary at times. I feel sorry for my dad when he crosses swords with her."
"Yeah mate, I know what you mean,"
"And what does that mean, Ron?" Hermione said, with a hint of anger in her voice.
"Nothing, Herms,"
Harry, Draco, and I started laughing at the scene that they where causing. We started walking out the door, when this kid ran into me. He looked like he was a year or two younger than me.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to run into you like that," he said.
"It's okay, no worries," I said with a smile, as we both got up from the ground.
"Sorry again, mate," he said, and started walk past me.
< "Man, that guy is a hot ass bloke, and he has a hot ass to". >
I looked at my friends kinda funny.
"What is it, mate?" Harry asked me.
"You guys didn't hear what he said to me?" I asked them. They looked at me funny.
They all said, "No."
"He said that I was hot, and that I had a hot ass," I told them.
Ron just burst into laughter. "Mate, I think you ego is getting a big as Draco's," he said, still laughing.
"Shut it, Weasley," Dragon snapped back.
"Mione, tell them! You were right next to me. You had to have heard him."
She just nodded her head, no.
"Well, as fun as this is, we should get going before it gets to late," Draco said.
With that we left the Three Broomsticks with me still lost in my thoughts. We stopped at the bank so they could get what they needed for their stuff.
"Um, Draco, could I asked you some thing?"
"Sure mate, what is it?"
"Well, since we have the same classes together, and we both are Slytherin," I said with a smile.
Draco looked at me with at frown on his face. " You lost your list again, didn't you?" I blushed. "Sometimes I wonder if that bloody hat put you in the right house. At times I think you should be a Gryffindork," he said, with a smirk on his face.
"So are you going to let me use your list, or not?" I asked.
"Sure, mate, I'll let you use my list, but you owe me," he said, walking back so he could get his money.
I just sat there waiting for my friends to get what they had to get done. As I was sitting there, my head started to hurt. It was like I could feel everything that everyone was feeling in there, and was causing my head and now my body to hurt even worse than before. Then, all of sudden, it stopped. I turned to see Harry's hand on my shoulder with a smile on his face.
"You ready, mate?" Harry asked me.
"Yeah, is everyone done?" I asked him, with a smile on my face.
"Yeah, they're coming right now," he said.
I saw everyone coming up behind him. We all walked out of the bank and headed toward different shops. But all I had on my mind was what was going on with me. I guess Hermione could tell that something was on my mind, because I could hear her say. < " Maybe I should ask Ethan if he's okay". > But before she could say anything, I told her I was fine and that I had some things on my mind, that's all. She looked at me funny, but she just left it as it was and didn't push anything. I didn't want to talk about it. So, the rest of the day, we went to every shop we could go in. There were a few times when we went our separate ways for shopping, but I kinda knew that they were going to get my birthday gifts. After all the shopping we did, we started to head back to the Three Broomsticks to meet my mom. Before I could go in, my friends Stopped me.
"What is it, you guys?"
They looked at me and Harry was the first one to hand me a black box with a red ribbon tied around it.
"What's this?" I asked them, playing dumb.
"It's your bloody birthday gift, you git," Draco yelled.
"Yeah I know that, but why are you giving it to me now? My birthday isn't until the end of next week."
"Just open the bloody thing: we have our reasons," Ron snapped at me.
So I put my bags on the floor and opened the box. Inside was a necklace with a red stone dangling on it. " What is it?" I asked them.
"Its an elemental rune," Hermonie said.
"I know that."
"Then, why did you asked us then?" Draco said. " We all have one."
They all pulled out there's. Ron had the lighting ray; Hermione had earth; Harry had water; Draco had wind; and, as for me, I had fire. I put mine on.
"Thanks, guys," I said, getting ready to go in. But they stopped me once more. "Wait! We have one more thing we have to do before you leave," Hermonie said.
"And what that might be?" I asked her.
"We have to put our runes together and say a spell, so their magic can work."
"Can we do this tomorrow? I mean my mom is going to have my head if I make her wait."
"No," they all said at the same time.
"Why?" I asked them.
"Because we have to do it on the night of the new moon," Harry said.
"Alright, what do we have to do?" I said, rolling my eyes.
"Okay, the first thing is we need to put our runes together, so they are all touching each other," Hermione said. We all did what she wanted.
"Now what, Mione?" Ron asked her. She pulled a small needle out of a pocket and said, "We need to prick our fingers and put two drops of blood on our own rune."
"Wait, isn't this blood magic?"
"Yes, it is. But, we can't get in trouble since we are no longer under age anymore," she said.
"So can we bloody finish where we left off? Harry and I have things planed for this evening," Draco said with a smirk on his face.
"Okay, we really did not need to hear that," Ron said.
"Well, if you guys are finished," Hermione said as she passed the needle.
Each of us put two drops of our blood on our runes and watched as they sank in. Then Hermonie handed each of us a piece of paper.
"All of us have to say this spell at the same time. So get your wands ready. One, two, three.
"Noitceffa snoitome!" all four of us yelled the same time. Each of the runes started to glow brightly. I closed my eyes because of the light.
**When I opened my eyes, I was on a boat. I tried yelling for my friends, but I couldn't. I looked at my hands. They were those of a six-year-old. (" What the hell is going on?") I said in my mind.
"ZACK!" I heard a woman yelling. I turned and saw a red beam hit the boat. I was blasted into the water,. I screamed as I was going under the water. "Help me, mommy!" **
When I opened my eyes, there were my friends, looking at me.
"Aw, what happened?" I asked them.
"I don't know," Harry said.
Then Hermione spoke. " I think our magic was a tad bit stronger than I thought. Did you guys see anything when that bright light hit us?" she asked.
"All I saw were memories of my mum and dad I thought I lost years ago," Harry said.
"Same here," Draco said. "What about you Ethan?"
They all looked at me. "Well, I don't know that I did see anything," I lied. I didn't want my friends to know what I saw until I talked to my parents.
"Hey look at our runes. They've changed," Ron said.
All of our runes had all of the elements in them now. I thought of Hermonie and, in that second, fire wrapped around me and I was gone. The next thing I knew, I was right next to her.
"Bloody hell, how did you do that Ethan?" Harry asked.
"I don't know, really. I just thought of Hermione and, the next thing I knew, I was right next to her," I said to Harry.
"Let me try," said Harry. He closed his eyes, and thought of Tonks, but nothing happened. "Hey, it didn't work."
"Maybe it only works with us," Hermonie said. Then she closed her eyes and thought of Harry. She sank into the earth and came out right next to Harry.
"Wow! But, as much as I would love to have fun playing tag with you guys, I really need to get going." I picked up my bags and started to walk into the Three Broomsticks when fire wrapped around me again. I turned and saw Draco laughing, with his wand out.
"I guess our runes shield us from hexes too," Draco said, still laughing.
I grabbed my wand and said, "Tempus." It was nine. "Shit, I have no time for this, I will get you back Malfoy, you have my word as a Slytherin," I said, walking inside. But I didn't see my mom anywhere. ("Aw man; I'm so dead.") I walked up to the barkeeper and asked him if my mother had come in. "Yes, she did, and she told me to give you this note," he said. I read the note... 'Ethan, I knew that you would be late, so I went home. Something has come up at the house, so please meet your father and me in the living room. Love mom' ("This is good. At least I'm not in trouble, this time. But why does she want me to meet her and dad in the living room? In any case, I need to talk to them about the things that have been happening to me.") I thanked the barkeep, grabbed my stuff, and started to walk toward the fireplace. I put my things into the fireplace and then I spat into the fireplace while I threw a handful of floo powder, and yelled "Elrik house." I was in my house in the blink of an eye. I put my stuff on the floor. "Mom, Dad, I'm home!"
"In here, sweetie," I heard my mom say. As I walked into the room, I saw three other people with them. There were two men and a woman.
"Hello Ethan. I'm professor Charles Xavier.........." ______________________________________________________________________________
