A/N: so yeah the magic eight ball says I don't own Harry Potter. Yes that is one of the sides.
So the only one that came even close to getting my plan right was Christian Cadet. Though you didn't get it right by 100% I'll still dedicate this to you!
Dedicated to Christian Cadet
Chapter 3
Oh crap was right; Harry's training with Kili was brutal, after six months of it they both would raise well before the sun came up and they would run the perimeter of Gundar three times. After that they would eat a hearty breakfast, which Dorin cooked, and go out to the training-ground both carrying weighted training swords that they use to do different forms. These swords after the months of increasing the weight each week now weighs nearly sixty pounds. After going through forms Harry and Kili would spare each other till lunch under the watchful eye of Dorin. After lunch both boys would usually go to the arena to watch the dwarven soldiers train or some days they would go down to the river that runs near the house and swim and cool off.
Kili and Harry got along splendidly from day one; their personalities were exact opposite, while Harry could be closed off when it came to his emotions, while Kili wears his heart on his sleeve. One such instance was when they were made fun of by the soldiers one day while watching them train, Harry just stood there angry but kept it inside while Kili raged and threatened them, and Harry ended up having to drag him away. "Calm down Kili, their just gits. We'll show them what true warriors can do." It came from Harry's mouth but he would swear that Hermione put them there.
Hermione. That was something he kept pushing from his mind, whenever thoughts of her would pop up he would redouble his efforts in his training. He loved her he knew that, and Harry had debated talking with Dorin about his feelings toward the young witch. But he resolved to send her a letter by way of a falcon, that's the dwarven way to send long distance letters. He told her that he missed her and that he hoped to be finished with training soon so he could be with her again.
That was a month ago and now was the morning of Harry and Kili's seventh month of training. They were just getting finished with their morning forms when a horn sounded from Gundar and Harry looked to Kili confused only to see him pale and calling to his father. Dorin came running out of the house three swords in his hand. "Harry, Kili catch" Dorin tossed a sword to each of them and took off towards the city Kili hot on his heels, Harry completely confused followed only a heartbeat later. He understood as they made it to the square, attacking the square were creatures that were ugly. They were nine feet tall and had a blue-grey skin color; they were bald headed and wielded clubs of stone. 'Ogres' Harry had seen their picture in the Monster Book of Monsters, and knew that they were savage and really hard to kill. The ogres were smashing stands and the people who were trying to flee from the carnage, Harry noticed amongst the fleeing dwarves were a few of the soldiers who had heckled Kili and him.
The few remaining soldiers along with the trio drew their swords and attempted to defend the remaining parts of the square, there were twenty ogres in all and only sixteen defenders that could make it there at that time with more on the way. Dorin jumped into action and took two ogres and soon they fell dead, he gave Harry and Kili a look that said 'I expect you to do the same in less amount of time'. So they both drew their swords, which they vaguely realized were as light as a feather, Kili took his down with no problem which shocked him greatly, he knew how hard ogres were supposed to be to kill, and the fact that it wasn't almost scared him, Kili watched as the trained soldiers struggled to kill even one let alone two. Kili looked to Harry and was surprised to see Harry taking on three ogres and doing well until he lost sight of one and that one took a swing at him like a golfer does a ball and Harry went flying. But it wasn't that Harry went flying that surprised Kili, it was that Harry vanished mid-flight and reappeared with his sword plunged into the base of one the ogre's necks. Harry vanished again and soon four more fell the same way the first did, the ogres defeated the dwarves turned to Harry with shocked looks on their faces. For his part Harry's eyes were not his usual emerald green but all white like a power from inside of him had taken over. As soon as the color came back to his eyes Harry collapsed.
Hours later and back in Dorin's home, Harry awoke to a pounding headache and a sore…well everywhere was sore and he didn't know why. "You should rest you had a big day today and you have an even bigger one tomorrow" Kili grinned from the door seeing Harry try to get up. "What happened?" Harry asked as he groaned. So Kili explained what Harry did to the ogres and to say Harry was shocked is an understatement. But the first thing he said was "How many dead?" "Six dead thirteen wounded all the deaths were soldiers." Kili replied morosely. "Good news though, after seven months of horrible, scarring, tough, and bloody training da says your ready. He says it's time for the Elder One's test…that means you're gonna be leaving soon" Kili looked down trodden at the thought of losing the guy who became his would-be brother. Harry looked sad too, next to Ron and Hermione Kili had become his best friend and almost like his brother, he was sure that he could tell Kili anything and he keep take it to the grave.
"So if this is our last night together let's make it a good one, let me tell you the story of my time at Hogwarts, you seem to always want to know about my time their" Harry said with a chuckle as he sat up. So for the rest of the night Harry enthralled Kili with the tales of his first three year, told them with vigor, but when he got to his fourth year Harry didn't shy away from talking about that year but there was a distinct sadness in his voice. Kili listened well and he wasn't an idiot so when Harry started talking about the ball and about Hermione and this Krum guy he could tell Harry liked the girl. Eventually they fell asleep and slept soundly till that morning.
Dorin came in and woke the two up and told them to get ready to go see the Elder One. Both of the boys got up and got dressed in their dwarven clothing, Harry having grown four full inches making him near six feet tall and a good stock of muscle from the weighted training swords. When the boys made it outside of the house Dorin was already waiting for them, the trio walked in silence towards the Eldest One's hall. When they finally reached the entrance to the hall Dorin turned to Harry, "Now we will need to blind fold you so it can be a true test of your skill so come here" Dorin had Harry bend down so he could secure the fold around his eyes. Once it was secure Dorin and Kili lead Harry into the hall to face the first test of the Ancient Three.
It was February and snow had covered all the ground except for the spot under the tree which Hermione sat under with Hedwig. The Ministry and even Dumbledore pronounced Harry dead when no one could find him after six months and everyone believed it except Hermione, even Ron thought Harry was gone and had been brooding about ever since. Hermione was sitting under the tree stroking the snow owls feathers and thinking of Harry when she heard a cry from above and when she looked saw a falcon soaring down towards her. In one swift swoop the falcon dropped a letter in Hermione's lap and kept on flying in the way that it had come. Hermione recognized the handwriting immediately and tore open the letter as quickly as she could and devoured the words on the page.
Dearest Hermione,
As I sit here training where I am I can't help but wish you were here with me, it is so beautiful here and whenever I see the sunrise over the mountains its beauty reminds me of you. I miss you Hermione I know it sounds odd coming from a guy and me of all people but I miss you being around me and your smile. I love the training, it's hard but a good hard, but I can't help but wish it was over so I can return to you. I just hope when I return you'll except my feelings and hopefully reciprocate them.
Don't try to send me a letter back because no matter how amazing Hedwig is she won't be able to find me here. Just stay safe and look after Ron for me and make sure he doesn't eat himself to death. I'll be back as soon as possible back to you and back to Hogwarts.
Forever Yours,
Harry
Hermione was crying by the end of the letter, "Harry James Potter if you don't get your arse back here in one piece I will beat you crazy and than snog you senseless!" for the rest of the day Hermione had the biggest grin on her face and the other students wondered if the prefect hadn't finally lost it after Harry's death.
The blind fold was removed and Harry came face to face with his opponent for the Elder One's test and saw…himself. Harry was facing a mirror and as he stared confusedly into his reflection he heard laughter from the other three in the hall. "Young One, I said you would face that champion of Gundar for the test and in the months of training you became a strong warrior but yesterday you became the Hero of Gundar, you took down five ogres and that is no small feat. After talking with Dorin and the Captain of the city guard both have said you are the champion of the city. And after much deliberation on my part I have to agree. Congratulations Young One you have passed the first of the Ancient Three's tests." The Elder One's voice was full of pride.
The Elder One rose on to his haunches, moved the mirror aside, and put one claw on Harry's chest. There was a red glow that surrounded them and Harry had to shut his eyes from the brightness, but when he opened them he was greeted to the sight of a man where the Elder One once stood. The man was richly dressed in crimson and silver robes, his hair was black and shoulder length, and he had a beard that was neatly trimmed but his eyes were what caught Harry's attention they were golden and slits like the dragon that stood before him not a minute before. This was the Elder one before he took his dragon form; this was the true form of the all powerful one.
Soon the man began to fade and after a minute there was nothing left. Harry felt the power course through him and it made him feel stronger. "Well now that you have taken the first step towards your destiny it is time to find the Old One, but you'll need help" Dorin looked at both Harry and Kili with sad eyes. "I was told by the Elder One to take over his rule once he was gone. Kili your destiny has changed since Harry's arrival. I know you two have become close over the last few months and I know Harry you will need your friends soon, so Kili I give you my full permission to leave and travel with Harry but you must promise to return to me safely"
Dorin looked at the two happy shocked faces and couldn't help but smile as his son embraced him. Before the hour was up both were packed and meeting in the hall where Dorin handed Harry a pendant. The pendant had been forged by the Old One to take the user to their realm. So in a flashing light both Kili and Harry vanished only to travel to meet the next phase of their destiny.
