Disclaimer: I do not in any way own Harry Potter or any of the characters mentioned in the series. I do, however, own Amalia Stormshaddow.
This is my first story so please be kind.
The hot July sun was bearing down on a cloaked woman as she walked briskly toward the gates of Hogwarts. She was granted entrance by a house-elf and shown towards the headmaster's office. Once there, she knocked.
"Come in," she heard from the other side of the door. She entered and saw an old man who radiated power and a long beard sitting behind a large desk. He stood up and walked around the desk and said,
"Albus Dumbledore," as he held out his hand for her to shake, "I am Headmaster here at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. To what do I owe the pleasure of for this meeting?"
"I am Amalia, Queen of the High Elves," She replied as she took his hand, and he started as his face lit up in recognition.
"It is an honor to meet you Your Majesty. Why is the Elven Queen here at Hogwarts with no body guards?" the headmaster questioned curiously. She had a small smile on her face when she replied.
"Thank you. However, I am not to be referred to as 'Your Majesty' until I have found my mate and we are married. Until then, I am to be called Lady Stormshaddow, Lady Amalia, or My Lady." The headmaster looked surprised as he replied, "Yes, of course My Lady."
"As for my guards, they are waiting just past the gate. I can protect myself if need be though Headmaster. To the point; I am here because I recently discovered that one of your students is a distant relative of mine, and I wish to make contact. As it turns out, my grandfather, who was believed to be an only child actually had a sister. She was kept a secret from everyone. It was a time of war, and my family was being targeted by Grindewald. She was sent to the countryside and raised as a muggle. She never knew of her powers. Her only child married a man named Mark Evans," at this the headmaster started and was fighting to keep composure. She smiled bigger when she realized Dumbledore knew where she was heading with this story. She continued, "They had two daughters named Petunia and Lily. Lily was the first since my great-aunt who showed magical ability. She married and had a son who you now teach. Harry Potter."
"What is it that you desire when it comes to Harry, Lady Stormshaddow?"
"I wish to help him, guide him, show him that he has family that cares, and to protect him from those who wish to harm him. I heard what happened last month at the end of the Tri-Wizard Tournament, and I know he will need all the help he can get."
He had a thoughtful look on his face, then his eyes got their notorious twinkle and he said, "I will speak with his magical guardian and see if he would allow a meeting. If he allows you to meet Harry and get to know him, in return, I would like for you and your forces to join forces with the Order of the Pheonix to help protect him during this war."
She thought a minute then replied, "I could be of good help to the Order of the Pheonix. I am a seer. I can See past events of people if they ask a specific question and if I have met them. I can See current events if I actively concentrate on a particular person that I've met and the decisions made very recently that affect them. When it comes to the future, I can't always see even if I try. Certain things that will happen if many major decisions aren't changed, I can see. But, the larger the event that occurs, the less chance I will be able to See it, due to the amount of unknown factors involved. I don't exercise my abilities often as they weigh me down and I get emotionally torn. I will meet with your order and earn their trust. Do you require something to be able to trust me?"
He sat still and eventually smiled and said, "To earn complete trust would be wise when it comes to Harry's safety. Tell me something only a seer could have known about me, regarding my defeating Grindelwald. Something no one else knows."
She closed her eyes in deep thought. After a few minutes she opened her eyes and said, "You delayed your fight with Grindelwald because you were afraid to find out if it was you who cast the curse that ended up killing your sister. However I can put your mind at ease and say that it was Gellert Grindelwald's curse which killed your sister."
He bowed his head. He had tears in his eyes that he was desperately trying to hold back. After a short time he raised his head. His eyes were slightly red. He took a deep breath and nodded. When he spoke, his voice shook. "Very well. I trust you won't tell anyone of that bit of information. You are most definitely a seer. All that is required is a magical oath to not betray the Order of the Pheonix or Harry Potter, and then I will be in touch with you in a few days after I have had a chance to set up a meeting between you and the Order and one with Harry's magical guardian as well." His voice got stronger as he spoke. By the time he finished there was no sign in his voice of the recent emotional moment. She nodded then spoke,
"I, Amalia Stormshaddow, Hereby swear on my magic as a high elf and as queen, that I will not betray any member of the organization known as the Order of the Phoenix. I also I swear to provide aid to any member of said organization if the situation arises. I swear to not betray Harry Potter, and to protect him at all cost. So mote it be." The magic swirled around her for a moment and then settled.
He smiled and his eyes twinkled fiercely as he said, "Thank you. It was an honor to meet you My Lady, and I look forward to seeing how things turn out. I will have a have a house-elf show to the gates, and I will send a message with my phoenix as soon as the arrangements are made."
She nodded and left with a grace few humans could acheive.
Please be kind and review
