Chapter 1

Time seemed to slow down until each moment felt like it lasted years Harry watched with horror his heart thumping in his chest as the red light left Bellatrix's wand and began to fly towards Sirius. Filled with desperation and adrenalin Harry launched himself towards Sirius shielding him from Bellatrix's curse. With a jolt Time speed up from its slow crawl until everything was happening so fast that harry barley had time to bilk before the force of the curse sent both him and Sirius tumbling through the Veil.

After Harry and Sirius fell through the veil everyone in the department of mysteries froze wands held mid casting as they stared at the spot where their saviour and his godfather had disappeared never to return. A high-pitched screech pierced the air jolting everyone to look over to Voldemort how was slowly melting into a pile of sludge. In a combination of amazement and horror Hermione whispered it's just like the death of the wicked witch from the east in the wizard of Oz. and with one final screech Voldemort accidently absorbed all his horcruxes and exploded.

While all this was happening Harry and Sirius found them standing in a great stone hall with door's marked Elves, Men, Dwarfs and Hobbits. Clutching tightly to Sirius's sleeve harry softly whispered where are we. Taking a deep breath and making sure that Harry couldn't see his fear Sirius pulled harry closer and sighed "I don't know Harry I don't know. "together Harry and Sirius huddled together in the silent hall when the low sound of footsteps and cursing reached them spinning around Sirius pulled harry behind him and came face to face with a surprised Snape. While Sirius and Snape stared at each other in shock Harry peered around Sirius catching Snape's attention. Sighing In relief Snape whispered, "I am so glad that your safe Harry."

Blinking in surprise at Snape Harry whispered sadly "but you hate me." Rearing back in shock Snape opened his mouth to speak before closing it only to repeat a couple of times before he manged to say, "But Dumbledore told me that he had explained my role as a spy and why I had to be so hard on you while favour my Slytherin's over everyone else in order keep you know who from discovering my role as a spy." Frowning in confusion Harry replied softly "Dumbldore never explained that you were acting he said that you didn't like me because my father saved your life and that you didn't like him." Taking a deep breath Snape knelt down to Harry's height then looking straight into Harry's mesmerising Avada green eyes and in a solemn voice said, "Harry I swear on my magic that I have never hated you and that everything I have done was to protect you." As soon as Snape stopped talking his magic flared out in a swirl of midnight blue with pale blue specks scattered through it. Then just as quickly as Snape's magic surged out of him it snapped back in leaving harry to stair in awe at his potions professor.

Shifting awkwardly Sirius cleared his throat before stiffly saying "Thank you for looking after Harry when I couldn't Snape." Nodding to Sirius Snape replied, "call me Severus as I don't think we will be returning to the wizarding world any time soon." Feeling his heart sink harry whispered "but why can't we return home." Pulling Harry closer to him Sirius opened his mouth to reply when a deep reverberating voice said, "if you wanted to the judgment and fickleness of the wizarding world then I won't stop you, but I am offering the three you a chance to grow up in a family that loves you and to save a world that deserves to be saved." Spinning towards the source of the voice Harry Sirius And Severus found them facing one of the most beautiful people they had ever seen the man was tall and slender with aristocratic angles and high cheeks that hinted at the power he possessed. Long dark hair that fell in gentle waves contrasted sharply with his white skin and vivid blue eyes. The most curious thing Harry noticed that two pointed ears peeked from beneath the black hair.

While harry was gapping at the stunning being before him Severus and Sirius pulled him behind them trying to shield him from the stranger. Chuckling at the tree wizards antics being said "there is no need to fear me I am Mandos the Valar of death." Pausing Mandos looked down at the three wizards' sadly before he continued to speak saying "I have brought the three of you here as all that awaits you in the wizarding world is fear and persecution while I can send you to Arda where I'm not promising life will be easy, but I can promise that you will find a family and a purpose."

Taking a deep breath Harry quickly peered between Sirius and Severus while asking "What would happen if we returned to the wizarding world?" looking sadly at Harry Mandos in a low voice replied "for a while they would revere the three of you for your roles in defeating Voldemort but in a few decades they would begin to resent you for the power you possess and they would begin to claim that only a dark lord could defeat another dark lord eventually you would either be forced to flee the wizarding world or would be locked up in Azkaban." Gasping in horror Harry softly whispered, "I would like to give Arda a try." Nodding Severus and Sirius both said, "we will follow Harry as there isn't much waiting for us back home."

Nodding Mandos waved his hand conjuring a massive stone table on the top of the table was the best 3D image Harry had ever seen. The image appeared to be an exquisitely detailed map. beckoning them forward Mandos pointed to a spot on the map near a settlement labelled Imladris as he said, "this is a place in Arda called middle earth when I place you their I will change you into elfling's as your age and the magic you possess would not allow you to go straight to middle earth as adult elf's." Before They could say anything Mandos snapped his fingers and they last thing Harry, Sirius and Severus could remember was utter darkness taking over them.
