Disclaimer- first chapter

A/N Cookies to anyone who can guess what's common about all my chapter titles.

Anyways. Thanks for the comments. Just to refresh your memories- Harry is currently three. I lied! Right away Harry will be older. We're skipping time. Oh, and don't worry magic will soon come up. First Elvin magic and soon a wizard will pop up, who? Wait and see

A Flash of Green. Pounding footsteps. Screams. Pain. A woman calls out to him "Harry, Harry!" A different voice "No good, worthless bastard child. No one will ever love you. Ever." A Flash of White. A new voice, a softer voice "I love you, I love you" soft hands "Airion, Airion" it grew louder and louder

"Airion! Wake up!" Rilien shook the green eyed boy violently until he woke completely.

"Wh-What?" Airion, who was half asleep, muttered.

"You were screaming again. Talk to Saeldur or even Neci. These dreams are getting worse." Rilien whispered to him pulling Airion into his arms.

The two boys had quickly become best friends once Airion was introduced into the community. It took the shy wizard awhile to adjust to the Elvin community but with Neci and Rilien's help it wasn't too difficult for him.

It was quiet a surprise for Airion when the King Daeron came to him when he was seven and told him that although he wasn't a full blood, he did have some Elvin blood in him, and that he was a quarter Elvin actually. The King also explained about the wizarding world and how he was a wizard also. It helped him feel better about learning the Elvish ways, and it did help explain why he excelled at things that others failed at.

Rilien was correct; he and Airion did surpass all the others their age, which were all girls. This alone was impressive as girls and boys were equally capable, the thing that shocked most of the teachers was that the due surpassed many who were older than them. And now, at the still tender age of 13 both Airion and Rilien were going to begin the art of magic. Of course the girls were starting also, but the boys felt that they would excel once again.

Throughout the past 10 years that Airion had lived at the school he had learned the beautiful language of Elvish, becoming one of the best singers in the community. He also learned the basic needs like arithmetic, literature, English, French, Latin, and the History of the Elves. Once the group of children turned 7 they began to learn how to ride the horses in the stables and also began lessons concerning the sword, the bow and arrow, and hand to hand combat. Rilien was a master of the sword and Airion, the bow. The children also began learning Healing once they turned ten. Airion and one of the other girls in his year excelled at it, whereas Rilien was only okay at it. Airion was quiet excited about this day's lessons because not only would they begin the fine art of magic, but one of his best friends, Neci, was the instructor.

"Come on Airion. We need to meet the girls for breakfast, and remember, talk to Neci or Saeldur." Rilien said as he began to get dressed. Harry sighed and stretched. He sat up and reached over to pick up his brush. After 5 minutes he was finally done brushing his long, ebony hair which was to his hips. He quickly braided it and dressed. All the children in his year wore the same robes; a light blue robe, white leggings, and a white rope. The community where they lived, Lond was located in Silme Forest and it was summer time. Although it never got too cold in Lond, summer was always the hottest, so there was no need for a cloak.

"Alright let's go Rilien" Airion said as he finished getting ready.

The two walked down the stairs and into the Dining Hall where all the students and teachers ate. There were currently a hundred students at Kemen Academy. The school was named after the founder of the community, Airion Kemen. There were only about 20 teachers who all specialized in a certain area. Airion looked up at the teachers table and saw Neci, who was talking to Saeldur. He smiled at her and waved, she waved back just as enthusiastically.

Neci, although she was about two hundred years older than Airion only looked about twenty-five. She was his best friend, Rilien was also, but Neci was the one who found him, the one who gave him the life he loved so much.

Airion and Rilien sat down across from the two girls who were in the same year as them. Vanya was across from Rilien. She defiantly lived up to her name, physically and mentally; she was beautiful. She had white-blonde hair and had amber eyes which sparkled with enthusiasm. She was a very passionate girl, enjoying the more physical activities like horse riding and sword fighting than the arts like most girls. Although she was quiet small and looked timid, Vanya was known for her aggression and zeal. The girl next to her, Eccaia was listening to Vanya as she rambled on about something. Eccaia had azurite eyes, a mixture of blues and greens, and black hair. Her name, meaning ocean, matched her personality; as did all names. She was usually calm and passive. Yet, if provoked enough she could become vicious. This was why the boys knew to stay on her good side. She, like Airion excelled at Healing and she was working towards becoming one at the house of healing. She was more studious then the other three and didn't enjoy physical activities as much, but she did shine in martial arts and did fairly well when using her bow.

The two girls were the other half to the boys. Usually the four were always together.

"Airion are you feeling alright? You look pale, well, more than usually at least." Eccaia asked as she ate the toast in front of her.

"I'm alright, just trouble sleeping." Airion said

"Again" Rilien put in. Both girls looked at Airion hard.

"Airion Eruanna. We told you already to talk to Neci. You can't keep having these dreams. They might mean something and if they do then talk to Saeldur. He can help." Vanya said, her eyes flashing with worry.

"Alright guys get off my back. So what do you think we will be doing today in class? I'm excited." Airion said, changing the subject.

"Airion, we aren't stupid. Don't act like we didn't realize you changed the subject. But I'll drop it for now." Vanya said with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Anyways" Rilien said, "I'm excited about starting magic too. I'm pretty sure first they'll test us for different magical abilities because usually you only really have one or two magical abilities. Eccaia, you'll probably excel at magical healing. How they tell is that they show us our auras and the colors show your abilities."

"I don't know what's going to happen to me. I have wizarding blood in me also so what will happen? Wizards have wands, will I eventually get one?" Airion asked. Although Airion wasn't full blooded, he only knew the Elvish way of life. He didn't want to be a wizard.

"I don't know Airion, ask Saeldur. Maybe you could get a tutor? And I'm sure Saeldur could make you a wand." Rilien said as he smothered his toast with honey. Harry sighed as he added his favorite raspberry jam to his toast.

"I guess. I have a lot to talk to Saeldur about. I'll go after class, maybe walk with Neci." He said. Suddenly an elbow knocked into Airion's head, ending his toast flying and causing his head to snap forward.

"Oh, sorry half breed I didn't see you there." An older student with blonde hair and pale green eyes said as he and his friends laughed. Harry sighed and bowed his head.

"Oh Airion, don't worry about him, he's just mad that you are better at him at singing and basically everything." Eccaia said as she held him hand. Airion's friends knew about their friend's low self esteem and shyness. He was quiet and reserved, never yelling and always the patient one.

"I know but I just wish that he wasn't true. I'm a half breed. I'll never be fully accepted anywhere." He said as he sipped his green tea.

Rilien and the girls shared a look of concern. That is until a familiar golden hair woman walked over and placed her hands over Airion's eyes.

"Peek-a-boo little brother, how are you this lovely morning? Missing me I'm sure?" Neci said as she lifted her hands and placed them on Airion's shoulders.

"As always sister. I'm alright, looking forward to your lesson." Airion replied as he turned his head to face her.

"Well then, let's head out to the field and get started. Come children to your feet it's time for magic!" Neci said with happiness. She took Airion's hand and helped him up, linking her slender arm with his.

The group walked out towards the field where the different activities occurred. About five minutes from the town the field was usually full of students practicing, yet this day it was empty.

"We clear the field every year when we test the students for their abilities. This way we can focus on what is going on. After your auras are tested we will talk about what it all means." Neci said as they walked up to Saeldur who was already waiting for them.

"Suilaid Saeldur" The four teenagers said as the bowed their heads to their elder.

"Suilaid" He said. Saeldur was the oldest Elf in the community. Many thousands of years old, he was one of the King's best friends and he was also the best Seer of them all. He has silver hair and pale blue eyes.

"Now children we will chant the spell as once Neci and I are done each of you with have a color over your head." He said as he motioned for Neci to join him. The two began chanting as the four teens lined up.

"I ngîl cennin erthiel Ne menel aduial, Ha glingant be vîr Síliel moe. A Bereth thar Ennui Aeair!Calad ammen i reniar Mi 'aladhremmin ennorath. A Elbereth GilthonielI chin a thûl lín míriel."

The two finally stopped chanting and looked at the children. They first stopped at Eccaia, whose aura shone bright Turquoise with streaks of darker blue, pale pink, and emerald green.

"Eccaia, you have an aptitude for Healing. You have much compassion, love, sensitivity, and intuition. You're magic lays in the field of Healing, you will also be very able to learn much defensive magic, and although this is your only strong magical tie, you will be very powerful." Saeldur said as Rilien whispered "Told you" to Eccaia.

Next was Rilien whose aura was Deep red with streaks of bright red, orange red, orange, and green.

"Ah Rilien, you are more difficult than Eccaia. You are grounded, have a strong will, and very active. You are quiet powerful, confident, and energetic. You have a connection with the earth, but about as much as most elves. You have much power with your sword and have a lot of room to learn magic for offense. I believe that you may also have an ability to handle wind. Many elves have some control over an element, how much control you will have shall be seen." He said as Rilien's smile grew when he learned about the wind.

Vanya was next with her bright red, orange, and yellow aura was almost blinding and looked like an imitation of the sun.

"My, Vanya, the brightness of your aura is astounding. You are a very passionate girl with much power. You are quiet energetic and creative. You have much intelligence and are easy-going and optimistic. You have a distinct connection to fire and like Rilien will have come control over the element. You will also have some ability in offensive and defensive magic, although your offensive ability will most likely be greater. Saeldur said as Vanya smirked at Rilien because she too had an element.

Airion was next, he didn't really know what to expect since he was mostly wizard. His aura seemed to have a streak of almost every color. Yet there was quiet a bit of black but an even larger part of green and violet. Yet what was the almost overwhelming color was a bright, clear gold which shone as bright as Vanya's. Both Saeldur and Neci seemed a little shocked.

"Well Airion, like your name, your aura seems to be quiet special" at this Airion blushed a little. "You are very wise and intuitive for your age. You seem to have a very specific plan for life, you are guided by those up above. Yet the black shows pain which may be with you forever. Do not let this consume you. The other colors show an aptitude for art and the earth, you with have a connection with earth and possibly water. You have a very large capability for any type of magic which is expected." He said, his eyes showing worry when he explained about the black.

"Now children I think that shall be all for today. Tomorrow meet back out here and you and Neci will begin to work on these abilities, Eccaia you should head to the House of Healing tomorrow instead so that the Healers can begin your special training." Saeldur continued "Airion, please come with me."

Airion shot a look at his friends and began to walk with Saeldur. They were soon in his room with two cups of green tea and lemon. Airion was nervous beyond belief.

"Airion, the King will be joining us in a few seconds to talk about what we will do." Saeldur said as he sat down across from Airion.

"Do what sir? Am I being thrown out? Am I not wanted anymore?" Airion asked as his hands began to shake with emotion. Suddenly Saeldur took his hands in his and Airion looked him in the face.

"No Airion, never. You are just as much part of this community as I am. But we can not ignore the fact that you are different. We just need to adjust your schooling in order to help you grow the most you can." He said.

Saeldur and Airion, although not as close as Airion and Neci, were closer than most because of Airion's constant dreams. Just then The King Daeron walked in. Harry and Saeldur stood and bowed to the king and they all sat down.

"Now, Saeldur and I have talked Airion, and we believe that although you have Elvin blood, you need to nurture your wizarding blood also. One of the woodmen elves who are known for making wizarding wands has offered to help make you a wand. The only problem is that none of us here know how to teach wand magic…" Daeron said but Airion interrupted.

"Please sir, please! Don't send me away. I won't use wizarding magic as long as you don't make me leave." Harry said on the point of begging

"Hush Airion, no one will make you leave. Yet I do believe you must learn, therefore I have called in a wizard I have known for many years to come and teach you for a year. He will be here tomorrow and you will have lessons with her for two hours everyday after dinner." The King told Airion. "You are like a son to me, and in a way you are since we hold the same name. You are an Elf in blood as are you a wizard, yet you are a pure Elf in mind and soul. You will always be welcomed here Airion."

Airion's face brightened considerably and he muttered a quick thank you. Then he turned to Saeldur.

"Sir" He began

"Airion, call me Saeldur when we are not in class"

"Saeldur, I have been meaning to tell you, King Daeron you should probably know also. I have been having dreams. I have told you about them before, the green flash and the pain. I have had the screaming and my uncles voice before, but it has something new recently." Airion started "Now there is a gentle voice at the end. It sounds like an angel and tells me it loves me. I do not understand, why is there pain and then beauty?" Saeldur looked at Airion with wonderment.

"Well Airion, we have decided already that the beginning is from your past, but this new part is quiet confusing. It could possibly be your mother." Saeldur said with a thoughtful look on his face. Daeron shook his head

"No I do not think so. I think that young Airion may possibly have a heart mate, or more commonly known as a soul mate. Yet a heart mate is slightly different. I have one with my wife. Everyone has a soul mate, but heart mates need each other. Eventually after a certain age you must have them with you; otherwise you will experience harsh pain. Heart mates can not live without each other. If one dies, so does the other." Daeron said and Airion looked confused and slightly upset.

"I know it may seem unbelievable, and we have no proof yet, but the first sign is when you start hearing them in your dreams; a source of comfort. We shall not worry about this yet Airion, as you are much too young to need the heart mate. Eventually if this is true then you shall have to find them, but for now let us retire." He continued.

"Yes, we have had a long day. Head to your room now Airion. I shall see you in the morning. No galu govad gen" Saeldur said and with a bow Airion left the two.

"Are you sure about bringing this wizard here?" Saeldur asked the King "what if he finds out about Airion's ancestry?

"Do not worry Saeldur, I trust him. I have known him since I was a young boy and I have already explained who Airion was originally. He does not agree about keeping his existence hidden but he understands. This wizard grows tired of the old one's manipulations and failures at keeping people safe. I believe he has more faith in our young Airion than in Dumbledore." The King said sipping his tea.

The next morning found the four teens once again at the breakfast table.

"Eccaia I can't believe you won't be training with us anymore. We've all been together for years" Vanya said with sadness evident in her voice.

"I know, I'm excited about the Healing House but I will miss you guys. Plus, I'm the only one without an elemental ability so I wouldn't have anything to do." Eccaia said also with sadness

"It's alright guys, we may not all be together anymore but we still are friends and we will still see each other. Plus Eccaia and Vanya, you two share a room! And in a few years us three can go about fighting whatever we fight and then have our wonderful Eccaia heal us." Airion joked playfully as he tried to lighten the mood.

"I guess you're right Airion, you're always the voice of reason." Eccaia said as she finished eating.

"Oh guys I have to go meet my new teacher, the one I told you about, so I'll meet you out on the field in a little bit?" Airion asked the three who all nodded.

Airion then stood and, meeting up with Neci as she would be introducing the two men, heading towards the garden.

The garden was a beautiful place, one of Airion's favorite places in all of Lond. It had a small pond and had flowers and trees everywhere. As Airion and Neci walked towards the bench by the pond Airion could make out a faint shape of a man. As they got closer, the man saw them and stood from the bench. The man had black hair to his shoulders and dark mysterious eyes. Although he wouldn't be considered a typical beauty Airion could sense that he had a beautiful soul and, Airion thought, with a little work the man wouldn't look too bad physically either.

"Neci" the man said as they came up to him, "How are you? It's been almost eleven years."

"I know, far too long. I've been alright. We shall catch up later, but right now I must introduce you to the one you will be teaching. This is Airion." She said as she focused her attention to Airion and the man's deep eyes turned to him also. Airion bowed to the man.

"Elen síla lumenn' omentielvo" Airion said in greeting and the man bowed back, obviously accustomed to Elvish customs and language.

"Elen síla lumenn' omentielvo. It is a pleasure to meet you Airion. I am Severus Snape."

Ah! Did it shock any of you? Maybe? A little bit? Well hopefully it did. Longest chapter yet. I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Whooo! The aura colors are taken from a website which explains what the different colors mean.
