Royalty Loves to Toy with Lower Beings
"Severus…please…" Albus pleaded. "Avada Kedavra!" Severus shouted as the green light shot form his wand and hit Albus' chest.
Harry screamed silently as he saw his headmaster fall from the tower.
Everything stopped and time froze as a tall and lovely creature hovered by the tower gently lowering Albus to the ground. The creature was a woman of astronomical beauty.
She was tall and slim with kind blue eyes and long emerald curls that gently blew about her face in her aura. Her features were impish and her ears pointed with glitter in around her eyes. Her skin was a light brownish color without blemish and she was wearing a flowing purple dress; a golden grown on her head. He multicolored wings fluttered behind her as she landed before the body of the headmaster.
"Oh Albus," she sighed waving her had over him.
The professor's eyes opened and he blinked rapidly looking up at the creature. "Who are you?" he blinked as he slowly stood up.
"Artemis Déesse the Queen of the Fairies," she replied.
Albus bowed to her as he once recalled his grandmother saying you should when ever you met a Royal Fairy as they were very temperamental creatures.
"Forgive me your highness but why have you come?" Albus asked.
"Your death is what will bring about the end of the world but not in the way you intended," she replied, "I have seen the destruction your death causes and have decided to intervene."
Albus kept his attention solely on her knowing this had to be important if she was doing all this for him…she must have a deal.
Albus knew that Fairies were notorious for making deals when granting a witch or wizard's deepest desire. It usually entailed one doing something or giving up something they never would do if they could avoid it.
"Albus they are many reasons why you should not die yet; the largest one being a certain witch," the fairy said softly. One witch came to the fore front of his mind.
"What is your deal then for bringing me back to life?" Albus asked.
"This is not a mere deal Albus. This is a Covenant of Powers I am initiating with you," Artemis explained, "I am making you whole again on the condition that you must marry the witch you have so long loved and be expecting a child by the time I return or I will kill her and leave you to live on earth 200 years with the agonizing pain of loosing her and no way to cover come the guilt."
Albus gave a sharp intake of breathe as a hundred scenarios raced through his mind at what she was asking him to do.
"What if she does not agree? She can't possibly feel the same? Surely there is something else I can do," Albus pleaded.
"No there is nothing," Artemis shook her head, "This is the only way. Do you agree or will you let the mortals fall into hopelessness?" She asked.
Albus sighed, "I…I will do my best to honor the covenant…..when will you return?"
"I realize humans are different when it comes to procreation so I will return by August 1st. If she is not at least one day expecting by then I must take her," Artemis replied.
"What happens if she is unable to have children?" Albus asked.
"She is not. My husband and I have kept a very close eye on you and she hoping we would not have to interfere. Sadly we must. We shall be here August 1st," Artemis said taking his hand in hers.
Albus watched as his black and burnt arm was fully restored and a golden bracelet appeared on it.
"To remember our covenant," Artemis said as she kissed his cheek and disappeared. There was a brilliant flash of light and Albus opened his eyes to find himself in the Hospital wing.
