So I do not own either J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter. Nor do I own J. R. R. Tolkiens Hobbit. I however own the idea of Nickie, and the Drakes and their magic. On that note please read. And tell me if you liked it or not. Its just an idea I had so any feed back is much appreciated.
"Where do you think we are?" Asked Ginny. There in what seemed to be the middle of nowhere stood a group of people. All unsure as to how they were in their homes and now they were there. They drew comfort from the fact that they were at least together with people they could trust, at least for the most part.
"In a field of tall dry grass." Stated Nickie. She was average height blonde hair blue eyes and to all of them annoying with her American behavior. Hermione and several others looked at her in a disapproving glare. Others smiled at the obvious humor.
"Funny." Commented Severus. He then started walking around seeing what he could. The others kind of followed suite each pairing up with another yet keeping close to the spot they had found themselves. Every one of them save Nickie. She had turned and was facing to the East. There was something out there, some sort of magic and she could feel it, and it was pushing against her mind. It wasn't hard though instead it was soft and gentle like a spring breeze, almost curious like a child. And there the nudging put her near compliance. She would have let it in if it wasn't for a pestering voice.
"Nickie. Are you there?" Questioned someone from the side. Turning and looking at Ron, she felt the Nudging go away.
"Sorry." She said sheepish. And then she really got looking everyone was standing around her staring. Both faces she knew and some new ones she had never seen before. And then she saw that it was getting darker. "H..How long was I standing like that?" She questioned.
"For a while we would have done something about it but your magic was doing odd things." Said Lupin. The first to come out of the stupor. "What was going on? You like to zone out but never like that." He stated. And she looked back to the East.
"I don't know." She said honestly. She had never in her short life felt anything like that. It was strange and alluring. She was frightened and yet calm. But she really didn't know. The new faces seemed on edge, they didn't like what they had seen.
A time later they were walking down a pathway to a place called Rivendell. A place inhabited by elves. Which is what most of the new faces consisted of. While they were walking Nickie felt the nudge again. Startled her head shot up, but then it was gone. Looking around at the others she didn't think that they had noticed.
Though there was the one who noticed that was not near them at all. She had sensed the mind of the young white drake. And then she had felt the magic of another more powerful drake testing her and seeing how she would bend. For it she had done her best to shield the girl. Though she knew that her magic was stronger as an elf than a drake. Such was that of a Sun Drake.
By the time they got to the entrance of this new land, it was dark and the moon was high in the sky. Everyone thankfully had gone about leaving Nickie alone about what had happened. To be honest she was shaking though. Almost like she had run none stop and now her body was tired. Not to mention her clammy hands that she kept wiping on her jeans. And then they stopped on a platform and a tall authoritative figure came down a flight of stairs. He looked at everyone before his eyes met Nickie's. There was a look of recognition but it passed as he observed the rest.
Then it was there again, this time the nudge was painful and full of force. Yelping and clutching the sides of her head she stumbled backwards as though she had been punched in the gut. And as soon it was gone. Everyone was looking at her. Seconds later a few more elves appeared, on one in particular there was a look of concern. She leaned over and whispered something. And then the pain was back, full force. Time seemed to stop, and she saw the look on the elves faces. And then a second later the pain was so terrible that she fell to the ground, unconscious.
Everything was odd, she could see nothing but a blinding white light. All the while there was a dark presence that surrounded her. It was there picking at something, whatever it was it was making her hurt. And she only wanted it to be over. Suddenly she found herself facing her family when she nothing more than a small child. She remembered this to be a memory from her third birthday, she knew it because she remembered her cousin stealing her birthday cake. The presence was there as well looming about observing this image that she remembered now with a sort of fondness. And then just as suddenly it was gone. And she could not recall what she had been watching. She had no idea what had happened all those years ago. Save for a faint whisper that she knew it was about her third birthday.
The pain enveloped her again and she found herself running. Running where she did not know, but she figured she had to find somewhere safe. Somewhere to hide in this strange world.
After getting her to a room everyone was nearby waiting and listening. Her friends that she had gone to school with were looking to each other hoping the other might have an answer as to what happened.
"What was that? Why did she just pass out?" Asked Molly. Her voice wavered seemingly with tears ready to be spilt. Her motherly instincts telling her there was nothing she could do right at this moment. Then the Elven lady stepped forward. The whole while she had been trying to break the walls that had been put up by the assailant.
"Her mind is under attack." Said another. He went by the name of Lord Elrond. He as well upon her collapsing had been pushing at the edge of the walls. "And from the looks of it whoever is doing this knew where she was and that we would be here." He looked up making eye contact with another. "There is no way that I can get beyond the barrier that has been put up." The other nodded as he as well had been trying.
"Why would someone do that?" Asked Hermione. She did not understand Why her friend Nickie had been targeted. As Nickie had always said she was nothing more than a girl who got lucky, went to a wizarding school, and helped win a nasty war.
"Your Friend is a White Drake." Stated Lord Elrond, "She is one of the most powerful of our kind. Save for a few Black Drakes." He turned and looked down at the girl. On the outside, she looked peaceful at least for now. On the inside, he knew that a war had begun.
Nickie found herself in a memory of her little sister. They were in the room they shared together. Playing a game of house. And they were going to have guests come over so they had to clean their 'house'. One of the few good memories where they were getting along. As they got older it didn't happen so much. And then she had gone to Hogwarts.
For now, the presence was gone and she was able to retreat to this moment of peace. And there she rested. She rested in the knowledge that her little sister was safe. Walking to the edge of the room she sat down against the wall watching her memory play out.
"There is nothing more we can do. In the morning, we will attempt further. For now, all of you should go and rest." Said the lady Elf.
"And why should we trust you? You have not even given us your names." Said Sirius Black.
"My name is Lady Galadriel. And there is Lord Elrond and King Thranduil. Now you should all rest." All of the witches and Wizards turned and soon were sorted into rooms. Each going to bed with a feeling of dread.
"What if we cannot get through?" Asked Thranduil. "What if the walls are made impenetrable. What if its him?"
"We will find a way through." Assured Elrond. "I will sit with her for now. Should I need anything I will let you know." The other two nodded and then they parted ways.
Come morning nothing had happened but the walls around her mind had strengthened. The only other thing that was notable was several other important drakes had arrived with the prompting of Lady Galadriel. All of them were standing around Nickie discussing how they were going to try and solve the problem.
"Well there is not much to be done if we can't figure out who is behind this. And right now, the best way would be to get in her mind as well." Said a Drake from the race of men.
"I know every one of us has tempted to find a crack in the walls. Our magic will not as of right now be able to get through." Stated another. "Besides having one in her mind may already be to taxing there are reasons it's not done. Least not like this." He finished. Then he glanced over at one of the new people that had supposedly come from where ever the White Drake came from. She moved in a way that it made her look startled. Though upon closer observation he saw that that is not what it was at all. She was thinking.
"Yes, but you are forgetting that as of this moment if the darkness take her mind then we will be at odds." Said the first.
"And what do you suggest? Our options are limited." Said Lord Elrond. Just them a voice piped up.
"What do you mean your magic?" Asked Hermione. Everyone turned and looked at her.
"Our magic is a Drakes or Dragons magic." Said one. "But there are many other magics in the worlds."
"Would maybe our magic be enough, find her get information get out and relay it?" She questioned.
"Your magic?" Said one confused.
"You are like us. You are Drakes like the girl is." Said another.
"Nickie once said that after a rather dire situation she had heard a voice tell her what to do. Her wand had gone missing and she did a magic unlike anything any of us had seen before." She looked Thoughtful for a moment before she continued. "She said it had told her of different magics, and that she was different because she possessed two very strong magics. That's when she learned what she was. A Drake as you all call it."
"You said a wand?" Said Galadriel, "Might we see it?" She then asked. Hermione pulled out her own wand. Holding it up the others looked at it but seemed skeptical.
"I do not believe this farce." Stated another. Then Hermione waved her wand uttering one of the many spells she had in her head, the glass vase on the table by Nickie's bed then turned into small book. Everyone else stared at it for a second before Elrond spoke.
"Perhaps it will work but I fear that once in her mind whoever is doing this will do whatever they can to push whoever out. That is if the person doesn't kill you."
"There is also the possibility that in all of this so far she may not know who is doing this. If that is the case then this will all be for not. This may be our only opportunity at getting in." Finished Thranduil.
"What choice do we have though? She is my best friend who is being attacked by some force we have never seen before. If what you say these walls, if they are getting stronger what is to say that at some point we can't ever get in, even with another magic." She argued.
"I will do it." Said Severus. Out of all of them he was the best skilled with Legilimency. Everyone turned to him. He looked at Lord Elrond for the okay and when he got it pulled out his wand.
