Chapter 2
Mr. Riverkin
Harry felt like he was floating on clouds. His thoughts came in waves, caring the memories of his birthday with it. Am I dead? Well I'm thinking so I must be alive. Dead people cant think. He paused in his thoughts to ponder his statement. can they? Another pause. Regardless I think I'm breathing
Sure of his life force, Harry slowly tried to open his eyes. He was in the hospital wing. So they got there in time. I thought for sure I was going to die They must have been able to stop whatever was killing me. Harry thought he heard some muffled coming from another room. He concentrated and soon the words were crystal clear.
Harry was sure it was Dumbledore's voice that said "Don't worry Molly we know what happened it was nothing life threatening" Whatever it was it sure felt life threatening.
"Can we see him please? The children are so worried" he was sure that voice belonged to Mrs. Weasley.
"I'm sure it would not hurt for you to see him Mrs. Weasley but it is up to Harry to explain what happened to Ron and Hermione" Harry could swear he heard someone say 'not fair' but he could barley hear it. He heard footsteps and then the creek of the door opening.
Harry turned his head towards the door as Professor Dumbledore and Mrs. Weasley entered the hospital wing. "Ah Mr. Potter I see you are awake. How are you feeling this morning?"
Harry sat up surprised that he felt better than normal. "I feel fine" Mrs. Weasley gave him a shocked look "what?"
"I beg you not to say anything too in appropriate Molly" Dumbledore's eyes twinkled "I have to go back down to the great hall to wait for a guest I will be back in a few minuets" He turned and left, shutting the door quietly behind him.
"Oh Harry dear you look so... um well different." Harry gave her a quizzical look.
"What do you" before he could finish she wrapped her arms around him.
"We got so scared when we found out what had happened. Of course we didn't know everything then but Tonks did tell us a bit. Oh Harry they said your room was covered in blood. They said you looked in so much pain. Ginny broke down crying when we heard." she let go of Harry "your owl arrived in the middle of an order meeting and Dumbledore said only five people could go with him. Arthur and I wanted to go but we couldn't come. It all turned out well in the end though didn't it" By now Molly Weasley was trying hard to hold back tears.
"Mrs. Weasley pleases tell me what happened. Stuff like that doesn't happen to people regularly"
"Well...you see Harry you" she never got to finish.
"Why don't you let Mr. Riverkin explain?" Harry turned to see his favorite interrupting headmaster.
Mrs. Weasley got up to leave. "I'll tell everyone your fine Harry they will be so relieved" as she left she whispered to Dumbledore a little loudly "Tell him gently, if you need us at anytime just flu us and we will be here in an instant" she turned back to Harry. "Goodbye Harry stay out of trouble!" With that she left.
"Mr. Potter allow me to introduce Mr. Riverkin" Dumbledore moved aside to reveal a tall man.
The man stood around 6'3". He had dark black hair contrasted to his pale skin. The man wore a long flowing cloak the same color as his bright blue eyes. He looked like an ordinary wizard except his ears. He had pointy ears. Mr. Riverkin was an elf.
"I am called Riverkin, Riverkin Heart" Mr. Riverkin glanced at Dumbledore who nodded. Harry watched in awe as the elf knelt in front of him "I am the appointed guardian and teacher of the future Kin of the sky elves. Some years ago the old king died, his only heir was murdered fifteen years ago. Before his demise the heir himself had a son. But the child was under a spell to bind his powers until he reached his Elvin adulthood." The hamster running the wheel in Harry's brain went in overtime. what dose this have to do with me. "Upon his sixteenth birthday the spell would disinter great and his wings. You Harry James Potter are my lord." Mr. Riverkin took one of Harry's hands in his own," I swear never to desert my post before your thrown. Say that you accept it"
Harry looked from Dumbledore and then to the kneeling elf. In a shaky voice Harry said "I...I accept" Harry felt a warm sensation spread through his body. Mr. Riverkin released Harry's hands but kept kneeling. "umm... so I'm an Elvin prince?" Mr. Riverkin didn't respond, his eyes were fixed upon the floor. "Um Mr. Riverkin...is something wrong" Harry turned to Dumbledore "Was it something I said or did?"
His headmaster was laughing. "Harry try telling him to speak" The man said between laughs. His words cased the boy to blush.
"Um..." Harry felt overly silly but it was worth a try "Mr. Riverkin feel free to speak whenever and stuff" The elfin man stood and looked at Harry. "Why weren't you talking before? And are you sure that I'm who you are looking for? I don't have wings and" Mr. Riverkin put a slender finger on Harry's rosy lips.
"My lord I can not answer you questions if you keep asking more. And I must insist that you call me Heart as you are my lord." Heart smiled at Harry as though he would rather do nothing other than answer the teens questions. "It is considered polite only to talk to Elvin royalty when told to talk. I know you are my Lord and you do have wings they only contracted." Harry gave him a worried look. "My lord if you would like we could eat and then I will start to teach you about your Elvin heritage, "He turned to Dumbledore and asked, "May we be excused?" Dumbledore nodded and stepped aside. Heart extended his hand to help Harry out of bed. Harry was pleased to see that his feet supported him. "This way my Lord"
Heart Riverkin led Harry to a room he had never entered before, He guessed it must be a teacher's quarter. The space was decorated like a forest. the four-poster had green hangings and golden trees. The walls had moving paintings of the forest and a large rug of leaves lay in the center of the floor. "This place is beautiful"
"I asked Dumbledore to prepare this room for you to use." Harry gasped. Heart walked over to a door decorated as a tree. "Behind this door you can find your bath," he pointed to another door "you will find your cloths in there, and if you require assistance snap your fingers once. Now I must take my leave." Heart bowed deeply than backed out of the room and shut the door, leaving Harry alone in the forest room.
Harry moved over to the tree door and pushed it open to reveal a large pool. Harry stepped inside an marveled at the bath. The was like a small pond and a waterfall without the fish. Harry removed his cloths and realized for the first time that he was wearing a very baggy outfit he had never seen before. He slid his bare flesh into the lukewarm water and sighed it was pure heaven.
So I'm an Elf and I'm a prince. My life gets more and more complicated each year Harry laughed at his own thoughts. I wonder what Ron and Hermione will say when they find out. They will probably have a cow Harry glanced around for some shampoo but found none. Maybe I should try the finger thing? Harry snapped his finger and jumped halfway out of the water when a larches crack sounded behind him.
"HELLO MASTER!!!" a high pitched girl's voice shrieked. Harry turned to see a small glowing being hovering over the water. "I'm Ellen your personal centaur! How may I help you?" By this time Harry had ducked deep in the water and covered himself. "oh so Mr. Riverkin wasn't lying when he said you would be young."
The centaur moved closer and Harry could see her fetchers. Ellen was about half of Harry's height her human skin was dark tan and her horse coat was a deep red. She had blond hair to her ears, and leaf green eyes. "But he never said you were so handsome." She watched as Harry turned many shades of red. "what can I do for you striking Master"
"Can you tell me where I could find some bath supplies please?" Harry blushed even deeper as the words left his mouth.
"Of course my cute Master! Here you go" She twirled her fingers in the air and there was a small pop as two towels, shampoo and conditioner, and an assortment of scented body soaps appeared on the floor. "Is there anything else you will be needing gorgeous Master?" she asked in a sweet voice.
"Actually other than if you wouldn't mind calling me Harry I'm quite fine."
"Sure attractive Master Harry"
"Thank you" she stared at him "umm... is something wrong?"
"Nope. I'll get going so you can wash my hot Master Harry" Ellen twirled around once and a crack rent the air. She was gone. Well that was interesting Harry finished washing and stepped out of the pool. After drying off with a towel he went back into his room. As he made his way back towards the forest room Harry caught a glimpse of his reflection. He turned and walked over to the mirror.
If he didn't know any better Harry would have thought a stranger stood opposite him. His black messy hair had always on the long side but know it fell to his shoulders in wet clumps. Harry tilted his head to one side and looked at his ear, his very pointy ear. He wasn't sure but Harry thought he looked a few inches taller. His faced seemed more pointed but the thin lightning scar still stood on his forehead. Harry sighed and turned from the mirror, that scar gave him nothing but trouble.
Once in his room Harry walked over to the door and pulled it open. Why am I surprised by anything anymore Inside he found several silk shirts matching pants, two white wool shirts, two black sweat pants, three beautifully designed robes to match his cloths, a large assortment of muggel cloths, a full set of school robes, and several shoes and boots. He had never owned any cloths that hadn't first belonged to Dudley, besides the sweaters from Mrs. Weasley.
Harry decided on a yellow hooded jacket over a red long sleeved shirt. He picked out a pair of red and orange lade shorts and a pair of black platform boots. Harry went back into the bath room and studied himself in the mirror. I'm not half bad looking.
Harry left his new room and headed towards the great hall. When he arrived he found Heart talking to Dumbledore on the far side of the room. Glancing around the large room Harry saw Hagrid sitting at the teachers table. Harry moved over towards the half-giant and a funny thought struck him. I wonder if he can recognize me. "Hell Hagrid how are you?" Harry sat down next to Hagrid.
"An' uew mite you be? Ang on, blimy! Is tha you Harry?" Hagrid clapped him on the shoulder " wha appened to you Harry you seem different. Must be those muggel clothes, its weird see'in you in'um. Oww you been Harry?"
"I'm fine Hagrid. Thanks for the cakes they were grand." Harry turned to the golden plate sitting in front of him "Cheese burger." He took the burger into hands and smiled. Life was good.
-----------------------------------------
After finishing the cheese burger Harry bid Hagrid goodbye and walked over to Heart and Dumbledore. "My Lord we were just discussing when you should start your lessons."
"Please just call me Harry. What lessons?" Heart started to laugh.
"I choose to call you my lord because I must show respect for you in public." Harry sighed " If it bothers you so much my lord I shall call you Harry in private."
"Thank you. I'd like that a lot. Now what did you mean by lessons?"
"You will be taught Elvin history, fighting skills, stratagem, flying, and Elvin magic lessons on top of you regular classes."
"When do we start?"
"Right now" The elf smiled evilly.
Heart had led him to the top of the astronomy tower. "You will need to remove your shirt Harry and stand on the ledge" Heart started strip off his own shirt.
"What" Harry took a step backwards.
"You can keep your shirt on but your wings will tear the cloth." Harry couldn't argue with that. He slowly removed his shirt and jacket and set them on stone floor. He positioned himself on the ledge and shivered slightly in the cool air. "Now the hard part is drawing your wings fourth. Concentrate on your breathing." Harry felt stupid as he concentrated on breathing. Out of the corned of his eye Harry saw Heart move behind him. He tried to turn and look at what the elf was doing, but it didn't matter. He figured it out as he fell from the tallest part of Hogwarts.
