Chapter one: One wicked move.
It was the middle of the night at the Ministry of Magic not a sound could be heard but the occational flapping of the thick tapestry that was the veil of shadows. Suddenly all was still as if a blanket was thrown over the entire room which housed this foreboding object. It was as if the room itself was holding its breath in anticipation of something that could not be named, with a resounding thud which resonated throughout the whole room a body was suddenly flung back through the veil and landed with the fore mentioned thud on the dark marble floor.
Again everything was still as if the room was holding its breath waiting for what was to happen next. Then with a great cry of pain which reverberated and bounced off the wall's the body Jerked and spasumed upon the floor, Then with a final arch the body stilled and the only sound now was the once again flapping of the great tapestry and steady breathing of the body now quietly lying on the floor.
The steady tapping of boot's as a figure approached the prone figure his appearance only to be described as Eithrel, His long cascade of planum blond hair with slight highlight's of gold mixed in, reaching nearly to his waist only inhibited by a leather thong which held it in place at the base of his neck. A golden circlet upon his brow, the very prominent point's to the ear's only more pronounced by the many small hoop's which ran down their length one being attached to another by a silver chain going from top to bottom. His tall Visage was all the more strange by the attire that adorned his lithe form, a modified poet shirt held together by loose ties, open almost to his navel, with lace going from wrist to the tip's of his leather encased hand's.
Tight leather pant's encased his narrow hip's and ran down his long leg's only made that much longer in appearance by the knee high boot's which tightly encased his calves. Then to finish off the entire ensemble a velvet hooded cloak held together by a simple cloak pin upon his right shoulder.
The man stared at the prone figure his miss matched eye's taking in the tattered clothing and the still unconscious state of what we now discover to be a man.
He crouched beside the man tapping a finger lightly against his chin as he thought of what he should do. He tilted his head to the side when the man shivered and he came to a quick conclution as to what to do first. A crystal suddenly appeared in his hand, which he rolled around a few times it's once clear depths filling with a mist that surged and undulated, then without any warning he through the crystal at the prone man and smirked as the man was fully clothed in similar clothing as himself only without the circlet, yet still even though he knew the man had felt the tingling of unfamiliar magic touch his skin the only sign that he was even alive was the steady breathing and the occasional movement of eye's behind closed lid's.
Frustration filled the being and he snapped making the man jump "come now Mr. Black now is not the time for this, I have much to do this night without you taking your sweet time in waking."
Brown eye's fluttered open and stared blankly at the figure that was crouching next to him, Sirius didn't know what to think everything seemed so strange his body didn't feel right and he could remember nothing. Then suddenly as if sensing this the young being said startling him once more "Mr. Black now is not the time to be laying around thinking about the strangeness of the whole situation we must take our leave now before we are discovered and it ruin's my Plan's."
Sirius didn't know why he did it for he didn't know this person but he sat up and nodded mutely.
Then without prompting the being said "Good then picture where you would like to go if you can remember it and we shall go somewhere where the walls don't have ears."
A picture formed in his mind of the dining room at the black manor and before he could even blink the young being grabbed his arm and his world was turned on its axis making his head spin out of control and the moment they stopped he trough himself from the man's grip and proceeded to dry heave due to not having anything in his stomach while kneeling on the floor at the being's feet.
Once his sense of vertigo had subsided he finally asked his voice husky with disuse "who are you?"
"I am Jareth High king of the underground and the Goblin Kingdome, high counsel man of the seelie courts, lord of the Labyrinth the gate between worlds, wish granter and keeper of Dreams." Sirius heard and looked up just in time to see Jareth give a mock bow before he collapsed on the nearest chair hooking one knee over the arm rest.
Still confused Sirius asked "what does any of the have to do with me?"
" ah finally you say your right words, Well I will tell you very simply, you have someone who loves you very much and was wishing with his entire being that you were not where you were." Jareth said in a bored drawl.
It hit Sirius at that exact moment exactly what had been nagging him and he said "where is my God Son?"
"He right this minute is at his Aunt and Uncles house trying to hide the fact that he is trying to study. While his cousin and parent's are down stares watching the telly." Jareth said and sighed when Sirius finally stood on shaky legs.
"I must go to him." Sirius said shakily and Jareth said sternly "I do not think it a wise idea just yet that you do so for you are not yet recovered from the ordeal, besides we have some business to attend to first."
Sirius looked at him suddenly confused then Jareth clarified "I do not do anything without a price, not that I have need of anything more than what I already have it is just the way of the magic, so unless you wish me to get what I need from your god son I would sit down and listen to what I have to say."
Sirius did as he was told and Jareth continued "There will be a young girl coming from America this year to train at Hogwarts and I have need of someone I can trust to watch out for her, she will be In the same year as your god son even though it will be her first year because she has just come into her power's little more than a year ago, Her name is Sarah William's."
"Does she know that you are requesting protection for her?" Sirius questioned.
"No and I wish it to stay like that, for if she knew I was taking an interest in her once more, though I have never stopped taking an interest in her since she turned my world on its head, he said more to himself than Sirius, she would not take to kindly to it and think that all I wanted was revenge from her. Not that any of this is your Business, do you agree to watch her as I have requested or must I ask this of your God son who from what I have gathered has enough on his plate right now without adding another."
Sirius knew instinctively that this was a trick but he couldn't help it the moment his god son was mentioned he would have done anything this man asked of him if only to spare him. "Very well what do you wish of me?"
Jareth chuckled making Sirius look at him once again startled "I need you to watch her and keep her safe do you agree, but before you agree I will warn you that you must understand what you speak before you answer for I take word of mouth very seriously."
"May I ask what you mean by this before I say what I want to?" Sirius asked seeing a grateful look on the young looking king.
"Ok I will give you a few examples of what I mean, first if you were to say to me, I am your grateful servant, you would have to honor me as your liege lord for the rest of your existence however short it would be and no matter if you already paid off you debt to me or not, now if you were to say I will honor this agreement until my debt is paid then you would only have to honor me as your liege lord until your debt is paid. "
Sirius nodded and thought over exactly what he wanted to say; the first he had to take into consideration was that he had given him a second chance to raise his god son the way he wished and getting him away from his abusive aunt and uncle.
The answer came to him so swiftly he would have fallen down if he hadn't already been sitting, and he said bowing his head in submission "due to you giving me a second chance with my god son I am your indentured servant for as long as I live for I don't think I will ever be able to repay that debt."
A bright flash filled the room and Jareth said "it is finished, then he sighed in relief and said after producing a crystal and spinning it a few time's then it popped and a wand landed in his open palm, go to your God son but I believe you will be needing this."
And he handed the wand to him with the point directly facing his chest showing his trust. Sirius took it and with a crash of thunder apperated. Jareth chuckled knowing this was going to be interesting especially when Sirius started developing the changes that would make his life span longer. Then he looked into the corner where an older gentleman stood watching what had just occurred.
"Welcome Albus Dumbledore I see you got my summons." Jareth said.
"Of course my lord, would I ignore a summons from my liege lord, though I was indentured to your father now that you have inherited his full title you also gained my services." Dumbledore said bowing his head slightly.
"Would you kindly explain to me what exactly your debt is towards my family, before I tell you where I need your services?" Jareth said.
" When I was little more than a boy I summoned your father, not knowing he was truly real wanting what only he could give the ability to learn quickly all the spell's that I needed to know. And the ability to know exactly what was going to happen and what people were doing, of course he was not so kind to explain what I was going to get myself into when I said what I did." Dumbledore said noticing an angry glare on the young king's face.
"Well that explains why all of my new servants are so angry because even for the simple wishes they are forever my servants." Jareth said with a growl.
Jareth placed a hand over his eyes not happy about this new understanding of how his father was "thank you Albus you are the only one who wasn't frightened enough because of my father to tell me what he had done to earn so many servants." He said grumbling under his breath afterward's because of the fact that there was nothing else he could do.
"What did you need of Me My Lord?" Dumbledore said humbly.
"oh yes the reason I called Albus is as you know a Miss Sarah Williams will be joining your school this year and my request is that there be two special additions be added one that she join Harry's Grade, for I can make a special arrangement for her to catch up on the four year's she has missed in her dream's. Tell everyone that she is a transfer student from an American wizarding school, so that she can be considered equal to her peer's, the second is that there be a room made for Sirius so that he can be there to protect her should she ever have a need." Jareth said then he stood and adjusted his gloves waiting for Dumbledore to reply.
"It would be an honor to do this for a lady that you hold in high regard, should I also arrange for a portal to be made in the castle for servants from the underground for her as well my lord?" Dumbledore asked noting the Jareth got a far off look at the thought.
"No though I wish I could offer her all the comforts of my world she would just throw them in my face saying that it was just a trick. But would you mind giving her something that I need her to have so that she lack's nothing while she is going to your school? Tell her whatever you need to so that she doesn't know it is from me." Jareth said as if he had just thought of it, then he produced a Crystal and once again spun it around until it was filled with the undulating surging mist and when it was full he threw it up and it popped in mid air and a silver necklace that was the smaller version of his own floated down to his open palm and Dumbledore's eyes widened when he realized that this girl was someone that the new king wanted to be his queen, from what he remember from the older king the high king would only give the replica of his medallion to his intended for it was a sign his power and position, and by giving her that she would be considered to be his Equal.
Jareth Smirked when he saw the look on Albus' face and he said sarcastically "I see you know what this Medallion mean's yes, well yes it mean's what you think it does, while she may be your student she will also be your superior in all way's, however this must never be let known to her for she of course would not believe you, plus she doesn't want me but I have to give her everything that I would my queen for there will never be another and it is the only way she can access my vault at Gringotts."
Dumbledore didn't know why he didn't want his Intended to know but it didn't matter he would still never let the girl know because as her superior he would listen to him first. He held out his hand and Jareth dumped the amulet into his open palm. Then just before he disappeared in a flash of Glitter he said "now to go catch that traitor Wormtail, that way I can fulfill another's wish, be prepared to give Sirius the good news before the night is out."
Dumbledore nodded and he heard Jareth chuckled at his speechless attitude.
