Let mana was broken n- made ilúve ar atta halves become er! Shanyrria spoke.
Suddenly Minerva McGonagall could feel the muscles and bones in her back rearranging themselves.
Meanwhile in the great hall of Hogwarts Castle it was an established routine on storing night all the staff arrived early and a low rumble had arisen because Headmistress Minerva McGonagall was conspicuously absent, and roomers were spreading like wildfire.
What no one noticed is the clouds gathering on the ceiling. All but one that is!
Just out of sight Harry and Jenny were grinning at one another. There was a sudden bright flash of lightning and two cloaked figures were just there.
Rhianon just made it to the group of new students before they filed into the hall.
With a voice that was as loud as a Banshee's scream and as soft as whisper The Lady of Ynys Afallach called, "Rhianon!"
Myrddin held the sorting hat above her head and in a low murmur the hat said, "Tricky, tricky… you would do well in all three houses.
In her mind Rhianon thought, I want to go to Ynys Afallach…
Ynys Afallach you say! the hat murmurs, to Rhianon.
In a soft whisper Rhianon, says, "I want to learn from Lady of Ynys Afallach!"
Ginny caught Rhianon's last minute change.
YNYS AFALLACH!" The hat called causing the room to go silent as Rhianon took her place beside and between Lady of Ynys Afallach and Myrddin.
No sooner was Ynys Afallach called then a deathly silence came over the entire room everyone had the same thought, (was there a secret fifth house… and when was it created?)
The rest of the sorting went by typically with new students being sorted into Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin houses.
As the sorting wound down a man in a dark blue cloak being held in place by a broach at the left shoulder with 2 leaping stags around the edge, and a bluish green gem embedded in the center.
The thing is the doors to the great hall never opened.
Even though his head was covered Rhianon could clearly make out his golden yellow hair and his deep blue penetrating eyes!
As he made his way to the front of the room every member of the four houses took notice following his every movement with their eyes with one question on their mind was (Where did he come from?)
Gwion Bach? Rhianon thought watching him stride to the dais.
In her mind Rhianon heard, Ie Rhianon, Rydyn ni'n eich perthynas chi ac rwy'n
Yes Rhianon, we are kin you and I
He stepped up onto the dais, only to have Filch try to stop him, Myrddin looked at Filch stopping him in his tracks.
The Stranger just smiled and lightly said, "I see you haven't forgotten!"
Taking a seat in front of the long teachers table The Mystery man in blue took a harp off his back and started to play. When he added his voice to the sound of the harp something very odd started happening.
Slowly the room temperature started to change. All the students started hugging themselves for warmth as winter snow started falling the room started getting darker.
In their minds the students were seeing worlds being born and dying in mere moments.
As Light started returning the students started feeling warner.
The Lady of Ynys Afallach gestured with her eyes to Look Up!
Her daughter Lilly Nudged the student next to her and pointed up. The Gryffindor table watched as snow fell on trees, they could see their breath in the air around them.
Slowly every table looked up. As the scene changed and they saw a wolf pack emerge from their den Lilly could see beads of sweat on the forehead of the girl beside her and Lilly herself smells the sweetness of the apple groves of Ynys Afallach.
Only then did Lilly realize what was happening, looking at the man playing the hard she Thought, he is creating the cycle of… life!
Slowly the Scene changed again and the sun on the ceiling grew brighter Lilly herself started sweating.
The leaves on the trees on the ceiling started to change becoming bright reds and yellows before snow started falling once again.
Stepping forward Myrddin said, "Ladies and Gentlemen Taliesin The Bard."
Every head in the room snapped to the man on the dais and a hush started at one end of the room and rapidly moved to the other, and every eye in the room was on him.
They watched as he approached Rhianon and said, "Granddaughter!"
Thankfully, he didn't say how many generations removed they were, it would take some explaining.
