I own nothing! I don't own Harry Potter or The Legend of Korra, or any of the characters in either one! I just own the Snape family members (except for Severus, of course), and the other OC's. In other words, just two persons so far that I can own and claim as mine. Well, so far.

"Is that so?" Dumbledore said as Silvana finished explaining her dreams to him in his office. "Well, I'm not going to deny you. We shall start this new class this year – perhaps we can ask some of the others to aid us?"

"Lady Katara is usually busy," Iroh contemplated, "However time can't be altered since you've already seen it."

"I'm sure Lin will agree since the revolution is over," Silvana smirked.

"And the air nomad girls will be ecstatic to be around kids around their age," Iroh chuckled.

"Actually," she smiled softly, "We go back for a year and then return to teach."

"So I see," Dumbledore said with a twinkling in his eyes.

"Silvana," Iroh asked as they walked through the portal back into the dining room where the others were panicking about their being missing.

"Where were you guys?" Bolin breathed as he wrapped his arms tightly around Silvana. "I missed you!"

"Sure you did," Mako teased.

Silvana had them all sit down before explaining the day's adventure, with Iroh chiming in on the pieces that had happened after she'd fainted. She also explained her dreams and how they explained her future to a degree so long as she saw her older (or rather, current) self in the dream. As she finished she noticed that Bolin's jaw was dropped and Katara was smiling gently while Tenzin was scowling.

"I'll do it," Lin said calmly, "If I'm needed as much as you say, I'll help you with the students until you can master earthbending. I may even be able to teach you metalbending if you practice enough."

"Daddy," the two air nomad girls begged.

"It's going to be either them or you," Iroh reminded, and Tenzin paled before sighing and nodding.

"Don't worry, she'll return like she would have aged in this world, I promise," Silvana assured, "If she comes back when she's supposed to be eighteen here, that's how old she'll be." The younger of the two began whining as the witch turned to the final bender. "Katara?"

"I'll help and heal like she would if she were here, if she wants to go," Korra volunteered, and the elderly waterbender smiled and nodded.

"So," Asami smirked," What else was in the dream?"

Iroh jumped up and ran from the room, with everyone else staring at him like he'd lost his mind. as they stared after him, Silvana couldn't help but feel like he'd taken a piece of her with him.

.o0O0o.

As Iroh ran, he contemplated his feelings of when Silvana had called him her fiancée and realized that he'd found someone he could finally settle down with who wouldn't mind who he was, and wouldn't try to marry him for power. He raced onto his ship, and quickly grabbed a coal and raced off to the armory to get the rustiest weapon he could find. As soon as he had the two items he needed, he raced into the room that most of the others were reheating their armor and sharpening their weapons by combining both fire and waterbending.

The General could feel their curious gaze on him as he took his piece of coal and began to apply pressure to it while applying a fierce amount of firebending chi and heat to it. he ignored them, focusing on his task, and a few began to whisper curiously.

"If you have nothing better than gossip to do then you are to go practice bending elsewhere," he snapped, and the whispers immediately ceased.

Finally, a full twelve hours of nonstop bending later, he brushed off the ash to reveal a diamond in the shape of a fire that glowed like there truly was a fire within. He smirked before he realized that he couldn't finish his task without Lin's help, and he moved on to prepare the rusty knife and began melting it in the hottest fire he could send out from his fists. The room increased dramatically in temperature, and the soldiers that were within at this time looked over to see what the source of the heat was to find him working furiously on his task, even though he was tired by this time and beginning to run out of fuel for his fires.

He picked up the newly restored chunk of metal before turning to a waterbender to nod at them to cool it down. One immediately doused the metal slowly, and his eyes narrowed before they cooled it all the way, unsure of what he was thinking but still obeying orders. He nodded a thanks before tucking his materials into his pockets and to head off to eat dinner with his men. He ate slowly, so as not to upset his system, and his lieutenant stared at him.

"Are you alright, sir?" the lieutenant asked worriedly. "You look a little pale…"

"I will be fine," Iroh assured, "I probably merely need to get some more rest."

The General was asleep the minute he had sat down and leaned back to remove his boots, and he fell back with his uniform still on. His light was on, and so when his lieutenant arrived at his door thirteen hours later, he was jolted awake by the subordinate leader entering. The lieutenant's eyes widened as his fearless and normally composed General snapped awake, with a jerk, his amber eyes blinking groggily.

"General Bumi and Chief Bei Fong want to see you, sir," he reported as Iroh sat up on his bed. "The latter says that it's urgent and that it has something to do with the Avatar…"

"Tell them I will be there shortly," he commanded, and the Lieutenant nodded before scurrying out to perform his boss's task.

"Fall asleep fully dressed, General Iroh?" Bumi laughed as Iroh looked down to find his clothes somewhat creased even after he'd heated them to remove the wrinkles. Iroh again heated them and removed the wrinkles and creases again. "What's the matter, too chicken to burn your paperwork? Or were you finally burned by the fires of love?"

"Actually, Bumi, I've been helping the Avatar these past few weeks," Iroh reprimanded, and Lin nodded.

"It's true," she said to the waterbender, "I've been helping her as well. What seems to be the problem, General Iroh? You left in quite a hurry yesterday."

"I'll talk with you about it later, Chief Bei Fong," he promised, "After General Bumi leaves."

The two Generals continued verbally sparring before Iroh told Bumi that he was retiring from the military to go to a different world as the ambassador of the Avatar and the Elemental Nations. Bumi whooped and left for the meeting the generals and leaders of the nations were holding, with the message to the others that Iroh would be a bit late finishing business up on his ship. Iroh then led Lin to his room and pulled out his two different materials and looked at Lin sheepishly.

"You want my help… making a… what now?" Lin asked with a raised eyebrow, looking at him as though he were crazy. He lightly nodded and smiled sheepishly. "You must not be good with this. Is that it?" He raised an eyebrow, and she snorted in amusement. "All right, then. What did you have in mind?"

"Well, it's fairly complicated and intricate," he said as he pulled out a pen and some paper to try to draw it out.

What do you think he's trying to make? What do you think it will look like?
