Chapter 1: Help in unexpected places

Dumbledore sighed. Voldemort kept foiling his plans to keep Harry and the rest of Hogwarts safe. Even Snape had no idea of what Voldemort was up to.

"Are you sure Severus? Voldemort has said nothing to you?" Dumbledore questioned once again.

Snape nodded. "I'm sure professor. No-one, not even Bellatrix knows of his plans. And if they don't, then surely it is impossible for the boy and his friends to know too."

Dumbledore sighed again in agreement. Harry had indeed come to him, worried about Voldemort. He had constantly insisted that he was having no nightmares and having the best night's sleep in ages, and although the boy needed it, it was still unsettling.

"Is there anything we can do Severus?" Dumbledore questioned. "If he keeps this up we shall all be lost to darkness."

He watched as the Potions Master paced thoughtfully. As he raised his head, he noticed slight gleam in his eyes.

"Severus?"

Snape paused and turned his back to him. "When I was a boy, I was raised with a group of wizards, mages if you will. And they are nothing like you have ever seen professor. Their magic far overpowers our own."

Dumbledore leaded forward, intrigued. "Oh? Tell me more."

Snape nodded, a slight smile of his face that Dumbledore had only seen when talking about Lily. "We, I mean myself and Lily, were part of a wizard's guild called 'Fairy Tail', and we were one of the most powerful guilds in all of Fiore, the world in which it situates. Now when I left at the end of my 7th year at Hogwarts rumours of a dark wizard was searching for his brother so that he himself would die. This dark wizard has black magic; Death Magic, and he is supposedly very strict on whoever opposes or changed the rules of death. If he hears about Voldemort, he would surely help up end it all."

Dumbledore nodded thoughtfully. "That may be a great help to us, but he is only one and if he turned against us what then?"

Snape ran a hand through his hair. "Maybe we should invite members of the guild too. Although the dragon slayers would be a good idea too." He muttered to himself.

Dumbledore cleared his throat. "Dragon Slayers?"

Snape looked up surprised. "Of course you have no idea professor. My apologies. Dragon Slayers are children who were brought up by Dragons, and hold power than nearly surpassed any magic I have seen."

Dumbledore felt hope stream into him. "If we sent them a message, would they come?"

Snape nodded. "They would, however I am due to visit in the next day or so. It would be easier to ask them in person in this instance. Perhaps you would accompany me professor?"

Dumbledore nodded. "I shall have to tell my dear professor McGonagall that I shall be absent for a few days though."

The Potions Master clasped his hands behind his back. "I shall ready the required needs for our journey. We shall be departing this coming Thursday. Now I have a class to teach. Good day professor." And strode out of the room, cloak billowing behind him.
