 It's been more than three generations since pureblood families inherited old powers. Now, these powers are only myths, legends, or so says the history books. It is said that the birth of Tom Riddle froze these powers, That the gods decided these powers were too destructive to be manipulated in the coming war. Of course, all wars need to come to an end, and frozen pure bloodlines have now been awakened to finally put an end to it. It happened instantly. Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Lightning, Metal, Wood, Blood, Light, and Darkness lines were awakened on November 16th it should have been a time to rejoice, the world's saviors had been chosen. Of course, not all of the old families remained pure, their powers were dilluted like their bloodlines. This left Blood at merely a fraction of it's original power. Ginevra Weasley. Lavender Brown, Padma Patil, Cho Chang, Blaise Zabini, Draco Malfoy, Neville Longbottum, Luna Lovegood, and Pansy Parkinson were the elemental families of old. Because there was no named Black family heir of their generation, the Black family power went to Half-blood Nymphadora Tonks. This ability would usually go to the closest related pureblood, but considering Draco was already the Malfoy heir, it was forced into the diluted line.
Instead of being loved and praised, like their kind had been for many millennium, they were confronted with fear and jealousy, even hatred. They did not even have the choice of keeping their heritage secret. For those students still in Hogwarts, it happened at 7:00 pm in the great hall on Novemer 13th. Each of these students was sent into a fit of pain. Each students skin was covered in in marks of their element, hair and eye color was even temporarily changed.
Not all students acted out against them, others were fascinated, but attacks were soon waged on the newly awakened elementals. Though this lasted for a very short time, as Harry Potter acted out against these elementals. Because of the fact that the power preferred pure bloods over those of mixed blood, he assumed they would do anything to keep their lines pure, that they would ultimately align themselves with Voldemort. Of course, he would not listen to reason, that the only reason that their bloodlines were only opened up because none of them would join the ranks of Death Eaters willingly.
Attacks on these students were frequent, and while they were rare in classes, they often happened in what was supposed to be the safety of their own houses. The only house that seemed to accept their new elemental counterparts was Slytherin, seeing as most families still continued to study the old ways. To maintain the safety of the newly awakened students, Severus Snape allowed each Elemental honorary Slytherin status. The Ravenclaws had no problem making the switch, as their house was not openly hated by Slytherins. The Gryffindors were uncomfortable with this at first, but slowly they realized their prejudice was uncalled for. Not all Slythering are happy about the elemental guests in their house, but most know better than to attack and elemental.
