Emrys: A Harry Potter Story

Chapter 1

DISCLAIMER: This story idea is mine, but the a lot of the characters, maybe some future plots and some locations belong to the amazing J.K Rowling. THIS IS THE ONLY DISCLAIMER IN THIS STORY!

In the town of Little Whinging, Surrey, citizens were living their boring, ordinary lives. There was no one unusual that lived there. Well, almost no one.

In Number 4, Privet Drive, an odd little boy named Harry Potter lay shivering on his little cot, and wrapped in his little blanket, was crying out in to the darkness of his cupboard. His body ached all over from the beating he had reached this afternoon. His daily beatings were always brutal, but this was one of the harsher ones. Today's was especially bad because his marks came from school, and he had done better than Dudley. His Uncle Vernon had claimed he was cheating from his Dudders, and proceeded to teach the 'little freak a lesson'. Harry didn't understand how he could of cheated if Dudley got more things wrong than he did. He told his uncle so, but that made him even more furious, and he violated him even harder, then ended it with a death threat if he cheated on Dudley again.

As a result, the eight year old was sent in his cupboard under the stairs, with no food or water, while his jailers were out on a three week vacation. "I wish there was someone to love me. Anyone. I wish there was somebody to save me. Anybody. Anywhere would be better than here. " As soon as those words were uttered, he heard music. Not the type of music that he normally heard on his teacher's radio, but a different kind of music. It was like a bird's song. Then suddenly, sixteen different colored flashes of fire appeared, lined up in front of him. The fires went out, and then, in their place, where were sixteen, proud unique colored majestic birds, all singing the beautiful song in sync. The birds colors were lime green, dark magenta, black, purple, silver, red, white, orange, royal blue, yellow, green, pink, sky blue, violet, gold, and lilac. Harry, forgetting his injuries, gasped, and attempted to sit up, but pain flashed through his small frame. Automatically, the birds flew towards him. He flinched, thinking that they were going to attack him. Instead, they hovered over his body and began to cry. One by one, the tears fell. As soon as the tears touched him, he felt warmth running through him. He felt the pain going away as his body started healing. Exhaustion flooded him, and then the world turned black.

Harry opened his eyes. The birds were still there. He turned on the light bulb that was hanging over him. And turned to the birds. They looked back at him intelligently, as if trying to see what he would do. The birds that was lime green and dark magenta was posed in front of them, as they were obviously the leaders. He figured that they weren't bad, considering they somehow managed to heal him and didn't attempt to kill him while he was out. He suddenly had an unusual urge to speak to them. Gathering up his courage, he did exactly that.

"Hello. My name is Harry Potter." They continued to gaze at him, like they were trying to see if he passed their test and he felt nervous.

Finally, the lime green bird answered him. "Hello Harry Potter. My name is Iolani." His mouth dropped open. The bird spoke. Actually spoke! And Harry could understand it perfectly well.

"Excuse me if I'm being rude, but what are you?" The Royal Blue bird laughed. It was like the sound of belles ringing. "

We are Phoenixes. The 16 Royal Phoenixes of Lord Emrys, that is. We're your semi-familiars- well, all of us except Iolani are. She is your your full familiar. She is the Phoenix that is lime green, the Phoenix of Lord Emrys. I am Alaric, the Phoenix of the Lady Emrys. The Phoenix that is black is Merel, the Phoenix of Death, and the purple is Elliot, the Phoenix of the Past. The silver is Diamond, the Phoenix of Weather, and the red is Cosmos, the Phoenix of Space. The white is Thalia, the Phoenix of Tongue, and the orange is Hephaestus, the Phoenix of Fire. The royal blue is Sapphire, the Phoenix of the Sea, and the yellow is Asante, the Phoenix of Healing. The green is Emerald, the Phoenix of Earth, and the pink is Cove, the Phoenix of Creatures. The baby blue is Kailani, the Phoenix of the Sky, the violet is Trikal, the Phoenix of the Present. The gold is Marigold, the Phoenix of Life, and last but not least, the lilac is Titha, the Phoenix of the Future ."

(A/N: Back to the story)

Harry's jaw dropped even further, and his eyes popped out so much that it looked comical. His mind was racing. Phoenixes? Magic? Familiars? What was going on here? His mind whirled for about ten minutes, though it felt like a lifetime. He knew what Phoenixes are, from the picture books at his school library, so he didn't need to ask what a Phoenix was.

Finally he asked, "What are the 16 Royal Phoenixes of Emrys?"

This time, it was Cosmos who answered. "We are the originals, the first Phoenixes. You are the first human ever to meet us. Even Merlin himself hasn't met us. There are many myths about us in the wizarding world, but they don't know the truth, for they have never seen us. We were created by Magic herself to become the familiars of the greatest, smartest beings ever to walk this earth. You."

Harry looked at her. "Magic? Is magic real?" "Of course it is!", chirped Cove. "Other wise we wouldn't be here."

"You are a magical being, Harry," said Diamond.

"The maximum amount of power Lady Magic gave humans is 1000," said Kailani. "Muggles, are ordinary human beings, with no amount of power. Their level is 0. Squibs are next. They are the children of two magical parents, but they are born without magic powers. They can see magic, and use magical items, but they cannot produce magic. Their level is 1 to 100. Next are the low power wizards. They can do magic, but it is not as strong. Their level is 101-400. Average power wizards have powers more than the low power ones. Their magical core range is between 401-600. High level wizards are the most powerful wizards. Their magical level is 600-800. A sorcerer is next in the magical line. They have the ability to do wandless magic, an art of magic used with out using a wand. The power level for a sorcerer is 800-900. Lastly is the mages. Mages are the most powerful beings, they can cast spells silently and wandlessly. Their magical power is 900-1000, the highest magical potential a magical being can take. Merlin himself was a Mage. They were the strongest. That is, before you were born."

"Harry," Titha said. " You are not a muggle, any type of wizard, sorcerer or Mage. Your magic level surpasses 1000. It is 1000000. There was never anyone more powerful that you, and there never will be. You are called Emrys."
