Chapter 4
If the hat fits
Ellen had woken Harry up earlier than usually for the first day of school. He had never been a morning person but today he was all to ready to see his friends. He quickly bathed and dressed in his school uniform. He looked slightly more like his old self but his ears stood ought no matter what he did with his hair. He could cast an illusion to hide them for a while but a glamour take energy and can't be held for long. At most he could hide them for twenty minuets. I'll have to ask Dumbledore about a solution
Harry left his room and headed towards the great hall. When he entered the great hall he found it deserted. The teachers are probably preparing for the students arrival He sat dawn at the Gryffindor table and said "Honeycomb". Harry munched happily at his breakfast until Heart entered and sat beside him. "Good morning Heart. Did you sleep well?"
"Yes. Harry we do have a bit of a problem with the return of the students, as you may have noticed your ears are very hard to hide." Harry nodded and reached his hand up to trace the point of his ear. They do look cool though "Dumbledore and I have reached the conclusion that you should wear a hat" Heart reached into his Elvin robes and remover a winter hat. The hat was blue and white with ear covers designed to keep a skier's ears warm.
"On holidays and such some students wear hats, but they are the traditional black pointed hats. It will look a little strange to wear that every day don't you think." Harry asked bewildered. What would be the point of canceling his ears with something that would draw attention to his head. "Before when I looked normal you said I was under the effects of a binding potion. Can't I use one of those again?"
"I'm afraid not Harry. A binding potion will bind the powers you need to practice with. Besides the hat has Elvin ruins on engraved on it. Only a person of Elvin blood will be able to see the hat, to a normal human you will have normal ears."
To this Harry could only say "Oh. That's a relief." Harry slipped the had on his head. The cloth was warm to the touch from the ruin magic.
"Now Harry I think it would be a good idea if you spent some time with the members of the Ten Silver. They may have pledged their loyalty to you but you must make them pledge their hearts. I will come and inform you when the other students arrive." Heart bowed and watched for Harry to nod his assent to his departure.
"How do I find the Ten Silvers"
"Call them in your mind" Heart continued at Harry's confused look. "As your assassins and body guards they are attuned to you. by willing them to hear your thoughts then they will hear" Harry nodded and Heart backed away and left Harry to finish his breakfast.
After finishing his cereal Harry went back to his forest room. he opened the throne room and stepped inside. As he entered and sat the chamber's torches flickered to life. Now to try calling the Ten silvers. Hello can anyone hear me?
My lord do you require assistance? The voice was rough and Harry guessed that it belonged to Ohanzee.
I was just wanting someone to talk to if someone has some spare time. Harry thought he heard a mental chuckle.
If my lord seeks to talk I'm sure Suki would be pleased to offer her services. She will be there in a few moments.
Thanks you. Suki wasted no time before appearing out of the shadows and bowing before Harry.
"How may I be of service my lord." She was wearing a light green shirt with matching pants. Her shoes seemed to be leather moccasins. Her black hair was pulled up in a tight bun on her head. Harry looked dawn at her and blushed, he still didn't feel comfortable with all the bowing. He was unworthy for any one to respect him, he led people to there death.
Harry's feeling of unworth must have been showing on his face because Suki asked "Is something wrong my lord? If you wish for someone else I can fetch them"
Harry snapped back to a happy face. "No please stay. Would you like to walk to the lake with me and talk. My friends won't be here until late and Heart is preparing for lessons." She nodded and fallowed Harry as he left the room. When Harry opened the door he was not greeted by his beautiful bedroom but by the front of Hagrid's hut. "What?" he turned to Suki "what happened?" she didn't respond " Fell free to speak when you wish. I'm not all that used to telling people when they can talk and when the can't."
"The palace oh the High King Resides in another plane. Its central point is in the great ash tree Yggdrasill. In its trunk is a large door that when opened by a peasant, that is not invited inside, will lead to nowhere. But when the king or his servants open the door it leads to the phantom palace. It is even said that the High king and his advisors may open the door to anywhere in any dimension."
"That's a good thing to know if I ever get in a jam"
"If you get in a jam we would come and save you even if it meant our lives. It is our duty to live only for your protection" She said the last part with a hint of venom in her voice. Harry sighed. I don't wish for anyone to die for me
"Please tell me about yourself. I'm very interested in Elvin life" The pair walked around the lake as Harry listened to the girls sad tail.
"At birth all Elvin children's future is read by a high priestess to determine if they will be part of something grand. If a baby is seen leading a band of elves that child is given acceptance into a high ranking military academy. My destiny was shown kneeling before the thrown with nine faceless elves. " Harry realized the nine faceless elves were the rest of the Ten Silver. "At age ten I was taken from my family to be trained in the art of killing. My family would be paid five gold pieces a month until I was twenty for my services. Traditionally members of the Silver groups are not allowed worldly possessions besides weapons."
"Silver groups? There were other Ten Silvers?"
"Every High king is destined to have a group of assassins. In the past the number has varied from four to eight silver assassins. Your silver assassins are the largest ever at ten. Some might say that means you are weak" The venom was again in her voice.
"Have you seen your family since then"
"I haven't laid eyes on my parents or my little sister for twenty years" Harry looked her up and down. She looked to young to be thirty. Earth to me. She is an elf we don't age the same as humans
"I'm sorry for what happened to you. Do you want to see them?"
"More than you can imagine. If I could leave your side and flee to them I would in an instant." She glared at him before casting her eyes to the ground. She probably though he would be angered at her words.
"Suki I understand somewhat how you feel. I have no memories of my parents but you do. I think it would be vary hard to keep going knowing that they are out there alive. So I order you" She turned back to him anger flashing in her eyes. She clearly didn't want Harry to order her, high king or not. "I order you to find your family and spend time with them. You can stay until you feel ready to return."
"What did you say?" now instead of anger her face and eyes showed surprise. "Do you really mean it" Harry nodded. "Thank you" She turned to run into the forest but stopped and turned to face Harry. Leaning over to him she kissed him gently on the cheek.
She ran into the woods, dissipating into the shadows. Leaving a blushing Harry alone. Harry headed back to the castle, intent on finding something to do before he died of boredom. When Harry opened the doors to the school he willed them to open to his room. Stepping inside he flung himself o his four poster and stared at the moving walls.
As he lay there he thought of things he could do. 1. Pull a prank on Snape I'm the only kid here I'd never pull it off 2. Sleep Not sleepy…that's a first 3. Study I've sunk really far into bored if I think that could be fun Harry cast a glance at his school trunk that stood besides the wall. He had read all of his new school books within a week of getting them. Heart had said he had a friend pick up his supplies, and now that Harry thought about it the friend was probably a Ten Silver. 4. I could organize my books and maybe get a book shelf I never thought I would want to do chores. Harry debated for a moment but finally settled on number four
Harry snapped his fingers. "Hello tempting master Harry! What may I do for you?" The centaur never seemed to run out of new things to call him.
"Do you think that you could summon a book shelf for me to use?"
Ellen started to laugh. "Sexy Master needs no bookshelves. He has a library. Fallow me" Ellen snapped her fingers and Harry's books floated from the trunk. She trotted over to the tree door with Harry fallowing second and his levitated books bringing up the rear. She pulled the door open and stepped inside. As Harry entered he heard himself gasp, the room was magnificent.
The room seemed to big to be passable. Rows upon rows of books stretched as far as he could see. A faint gray mist seemed to fill the air along with the sent of books. The library seemed to consist of three floors, each containing thousands of books. Harry doubted that anyone even Hermione could read all of them. "I'll leave you to the books. I think by now you will be able to get around." With that Ellen turned once in a circle and disappeared with a crack.
Over to the left of him Harry spotted several book shelves that were empty. He directed the books to their new room and the rushed forward. He watched the books organize themselves I a neat fashion. One book caught his eye. The title read 'The Book of all Things'. Harry remembered that Lupin had sent him the book the same night he inherited the thrown.
Harry headed over to a puffy purple chair and satd down with the book. He opened the cover and looked over the first page.
-----------------------------------------
My dear son Harry,
If you are reading this it means that me and your mother have died. Don't be sad for us, we lived our lives as we saw fit. By now I'm sure that you have come to know of your heritage. I'm sorry I'm not there to help you learn but if I'm correct you have met Heart.
This book you are reading has been in the family for generations. The Book of all Things' allows the king or queen to read anything. If you wish to know about a cretin subject the book will fill with all the information you need. If you desire to check up on your friends text and a picture will appear. But in order to track the you need to shed one drop of their blood on the pages.
I hope my words will help you as you assume the thrown. Your mother and me are proud of you. Remember we are watching over you.
Love your Parents
-----------------------------------------
Harry smiled. The book could be very useful. Harry turned the page and started to read up on Elvin ruins. The hat had intrigued him and Harry started to wonder what he could do with ruins. He was still sitting there when Heart arrived. The train carrying the students would arrive in one hour.
