Icy, Darcy and Stormy were having some of the most fun of their lives as they trashed the place.
"Since we're not going to be hanging around here any longer, we might as well leave our mark. Right, sisters?" Icy sneered as she blasted a chair into the air, froze it as it went and shattered it to pieces as it fell back down.
"Cowards! Cowards, the lot of you! They're not any better than us! Fight them like the Death Eaters you are!" They heard Bellatrix's voice shrieking from a few rooms away.
"Oh great. She's coming." Stormy growled, rolling her eyes as she struck a table with a bolt of lightning, disintegrating it instantly.
"How dare you!" Darcy narrowly missed being hit from behind by Bellatrix's curse as she appeared in the doorway, with some of the other (braver) Death Eaters. "You dare turn on the Dark Lord? After all he's done for you?!" Bellatrix shrieked.
"Oh please. We owe him nothing." Darcy threw a blast at her, but Bellatrix managed to block it with a shield, drawing a raised eyebrow from the shadow witch.
"Compared to other dark wizards we've worked with in the past, he's small fry!" Stormy fired off a lightning bolt at Bellatrix, but she dodged it and fired off a curse of her own, which when it collided with Stormy's spell created a backlash strong enough to throw both of them across the room.
"Why you little-" Stormy let loose a bellow of rage before raining a barrage of lightning bolts down on the black-haired witch.
Icy and Darcy meanwhile, had turned to the other Death Eaters.
"So... You finally want to fight us, huh?" Icy charged up an attack in one hand. "Let's see how you do against us! I could do with a good fight for once!" The ice witch let loose a blizzard, but two of the Death Eaters had the presence of mind to try melting it with heating spells while the others went on the offensive against her.
"I would say that it's been fun while it lasted, but really, it hasn't been. Much." Darcy commented as she found herself locked in a battle with a pair of Death Eaters she vaguely remembered were siblings called Carrow.
"You think casting darkness spells is the only dark magic out there? You'll find that you're wrong!" The woman of the pair, Alecto snarled.
"Avada Kedavra!" Amycus hurled a Killing Curse at her, but she dodged it and cast her Vertigo spell.
"What the hell?" Amycus swore as he wobbled, dizzy from the spell. "What did you do to me, bitch?"
"I can do a whole lot worse. Would you like me to try?" Darcy fired an energy blast at him as she asked. "Oops. Guess I didn't wait for an answer. Oh well..."
Macnair and Lucius Malfoy, who had decided to rejoin the fight, faced off against Icy.
"You want to take on me? Fine. If I can take on the most powerful fairy in the universe, dealing with you would be child's play!" Icy sneered.
"As I recall reading, you lost against her when you were a Senior witch and she was just a Freshman fairy who'd known about her powers for less than a year. Makes that... achievement rather less impressive, don't you think?" Lucius said smoothly as he cast a curse with a dark orange beam of light, which when it narrowly missed Icy's head, had left a large, sizzling hole in the wall behind.
"And to think that was just the first time that she lost against that fairy and her little friends..." Macnair chortled as he cast a spell that made several long, sharp blades appear in a gust of black smoke and fire at Icy, who managed to freeze and shatter them when they were only moments away from turning her into a pin cushion.
"Hmm... I'm impressed. Seems like Darcy, Stormy and I underestimated your powers and spells." Icy did indeed look mildly impressed.
"I would say that you did, Icy..." A voice that sent chills down the spines of many spoke, but Icy seemed only mildly irritated by it as she turned to see Voldemort standing in the doorway, wand in the air and ready to cast spells, with that giant snake of his draped around his shoulders like a scarf.
"Oh joy. You're here too..." Icy scowled.
"No one turns traitor against me and lives..." Voldemort hissed.
"I think that The Trix are going to be the first to break that record, then." Icy raised her hands and cold mist gathered around her as the floor began to ice over. "Let's see how the infamous Lord Voldemort does against the likes of The Trix, shall we? Ice Spikes!"
Harry stepped through a portal and landed a short distance away from the palace of Tir Nan Og, Dobby stepping out behind him and looking around in wonder.
"Dobby thinks this place is beautiful! This be where Earth Fairies is living?" Dobby looked up at him.
"Many of them, yes. Some live outside of Tir Nan Og as well, though..." Harry shifted his backpack.
"Harry!" A blur of pink and yellow ran towards him, nearly barrelling him over.
"I missed you!" Roxy hugged him tightly and Harry hugged her back. "Are you okay? All that stuff happening back in your home country lately..." She went on.
"I'm fine, Roxy." Harry chuckled. "Absolutely fine."
Roxy knelt down in front of Dobby. "You must be Dobby the House-Elf, aren't you?" She smiled.
"That Dobby is. You is Princess Roxy, Earth Fairy Princess, isn't you? Master Harry tells me much about his fairy princess, he does..."
"Oh, he does, does he?" Roxy raised an eyebrow at Harry, who looked mildly abashed. "Anyway, you don't have to call me by my title, Dobby. You may just call me Roxy. It's certainly nice to meet you!"
"You is just as nice as Master Harry, you is!" Dobby looked especially cheerful. "Dobby likes Princess Roxy already!"
Roxy sighed and Harry laughed at her suddenly exasperated expression.
"Well then, come with me. My family wishes to meet to you and see Harry again." Roxy stood up and cast her Transportus spell.
The fairy, wizard and House-Elf appeared just outside the doors of the throne room.
"Shall we?" Roxy asked.
"We certainly shall..." Harry nodded.
Roxy knocked on the door.
"Enter!" Queen Nebula's voice called out.
Roxy stepped in first, Harry and Roxy behind her.
Nebula was sitting on her throne, Morgana seated next to her on her right.
"Aunt Nebula, Harry Potter and Dobby the House-Elf..." She stepped aside and gestured to them, both of whom knelt and bowed.
"Thank you, Roxy. Come up here and sit with me and your mother..." Nebula gestured to the empty chair on her left.
Roxy did so.
"Welcome back to our Realm, Harry Potter. And a welcome to your House-Elf Dobby as well. I am Nebula, Queen of the Earth Fairies." She got up from the throne and descended towards them, introducing herself more for Dobby's benefit.
"Rise." She commanded them.
They straightened up.
"Harry here has been of great service to my realm so far, as well as his own. You, Dobby... you could be of service to Tir Nan Og as well..." She spoke.
"Dobby is begging Queen's pardon, but Dobby is still not really sure how much service he can give to Earth Fairies..." Dobby looked in awe of her- but not with nearly as much as he seemed to look at Harry with every time he saw him.
"Ah, but you have a special kind of magic that the wizards underestimate and we want to use that against them. They have hurt our kind and our allies and we do not intend to sit by and let them get away with that." Nebula said.
"Harry tells me that those bad wizards include your old bad master and the woman who killed Harry's godfather. Would you like to help us punish them?" Roxy asked.
"Yes. Yes, Dobby would..." Dobby admitted.
"Good. Then we shall meet again later and you can show us what you can do. We need every advantage we can against those scum. For now, Harry can show you where he stays when he is here. Lunch is being prepared for us now. You may join us then." Nebula dismissed them.
"Can Dobby help prepare food, Queen?" Dobby asked. "Dobby is good at cooking, he is. Dobby likes cooking and Dobby wishes to help wherever he can, not just against bad wizard..."
Nebula considered it. "Not yet, Dobby. You don't know what sorts of foods we typically eat here. After Harry shows you where he stays, Roxy can show you both where the kitchens are and you can watch the fairies there for now. See what they do and how they work the equipment."
Dobby nodded eagerly. "Oh yes, yes, Queen! Dobby understands! Dobby will watch and learn Earth Fairy ways, then he may get to help there too!"
After Dobby, Roxy and Harry had left, Nebula turned to Morgana. "Delightful little creature, isn't he?"
Morgana nodded. "He really does seem sweet. I'm looking forward to learning about his magic though. It's amazing how something so underestimated could really help you. Plus his devotion to Harry. He would probably die before betraying him and by extension, us..."
"Good. Loyalty to those who deserve it is always a good thing and Harry definitely seems to deserve it..." Nebula said.
Back at Death Eater headquarters, it had came down to Voldemort, Bellatrix and Lucius facing off against the Trix, many of the other Death Eaters having been taken out of the fight either deliberately or accidentally, or otherwise fighting creatures the Trix had summoned, or securing the prisoners on the premises.
"This Voldemort guy is stronger than we thought..." Darcy said as she, Icy and Stormy threw a convergence attack at them, which bounced off the combined Protegos of Voldemort and Co. with a loud, reverberating gong.
"Who knew? They're really on the same power level as us after all. Their only limitation is that dependence on those wands of theirs!" Icy dodged a curse with dark purple light from Lucius.
"Then why not rid them of those little wooden sticks?" Stormy asked. "Dark Lightning!" Her darkly coloured lightning bolt hit Bellatrix's wand, splitting it clean in two and going on to leave angry blisters all over the black-haired witch's hand.
"Hehehehehe..." Stormy cackled as Bellatrix howled in both pain and rage. "What are you gonna do now, Bella?" She taunted.
"Avada Kedavra!" Every time Voldemort tried to kill Icy, she either conjured up a large slab of ice to block it or simply flew out of the way.
"Killing Curses all the time, My Lord?" Icy spoke mockingly. "One would think you didn't know any other spells. Considering that you couldn't even murder a toddler, I'm not surprised..." Icy dodged yet another Killing Curse and another spell with a dark grey light from Voldemort at these words. "Though I don't know why people would blindly follow and be terrified of someone like that..." She sneered.
Lucius cast a curse at Darcy at the same time she cast an energy blast and the force of the two spells colliding caused them to explode. This happened again and again in quick succession.
"For someone who got beaten by a bunch of teenagers who weren't fully trained and who just got broken out of prison- by me and my sisters no less, you're doing moderately decently against the likes of me. Too bad that won't be enough. Shroud of Shadows!" Waves of dark energy rolled off the darkness witch and as they hit Lucius, his eyes changed colour, going completely black.
Darcy snickered. "How do you like not being able to see, Malfoy?"
Voldemort noticed that both Bellatrix and Lucius had been disabled and this only served to enrage him even further.
Letting loose a howl of rage, he waved his wand and a powerful blast from it knocked the Trix out of the air and they collided into each other, swearing as they did.
"You thought that you could actually defeat me?" He asked quietly, though the Trix, being rather experienced villains for their age could hear the danger in his voice.
"We don't think, we know." Icy declared.
The three witches converged their powers and launched it at the Dark Lord.
Nagini, who had been in front of him and had reared up to strike at her master's traitorous enemies, took the full brunt of the blast instead and her angry hiss was cut off as she disintegrated, leaving only a few small chunks of mutated snake on the floor.
Voldemort took one look at his destroyed Snakecrux, then at the Trix and his fury returned tenfold.
He unleashed a barrage of his most painful, lethal curses, barely giving the Trix Trio any time to go on the offensive.
"I think it's high time we get outta here." Icy tried icing over the floor to make Voldemort slip, but the energy pulsating around him kept either shattering or melting the ice around him.
The Trix cast a portal spell and moved to go through it, but before all three made it through, Voldemort cast a spell with a steel grey light that judging by the screams of one of them, had hit a target.
Harry and Roxy sat to dinner with her family in the palace's dining hall, when Dobby brought his cell phone to him.
"Pardon Dobby, Master Harry, but you is getting urgent call from Britain, you is. It is Harry's Wheezy and old Headmaster calling!" Dobby handed the phone to him.
Harry looked at Queen Nebula in askance and she nodded.
Harry put the phone on the table in front of him and answered.
"Oh good, Harry. I am glad this magical technology actually works..." Dumbledore stood next to Ron in the projection, with Hermione close by. "And you are with Tir Nan Og's royals as well. Just who needed to hear the news."
"What news, Dumbledore?" Harry asked.
"A spy of mine has just informed me that the Trix have turned on Lord Voldemort. They no longer ally themselves with him..."
